Eight years ago, when I was a teenager, my parents decided that this would be a good place to eat after one of my piano competitions, partially because it was late and most other places were closed, and partially because they figured that any restaurant named after an animal would be good. With my suit-clad piano teacher in tow, my parents and I sat down to a soda, burger, and chicken wing feast. We ate like noble savages, gravely digging into the food with our bare hands then gingerly sucking the grease from our fingers. Some of us ordered second servings. I think I had a milkshake, too. We stayed there for a long time, encouraged by the boisterous atmosphere and the cheerful waitresses. In keeping with his Chinese mentality, my dad asked a waitress to photographically commemorate the occasion. Nowadays, if you look in my family’s picture album, you’ll find a snapshot of me, my parents, and my piano teacher, all in formal wear, surrounded by a gaggle of young women in tight white shirts and orange booty shorts.

I don’t think my parents thought that there was anything strange about the situation, now that I think of it. My mom seems to have forgotten about the incident, and my dad, if asked, would say something favorable about the chicken wings. And to this day, I don’t know if my middle-aged, white American piano teacher had any idea what he was in for. If so, he never let on.

So. I highly recommend this place if you have a heterosexual male mentality and are looking for cheap food and enthusiastic waitresses during the late hours.

Absolutely amazing Italian food every time I have been there. If they have any traditional pork dishes on the menu, I highly recommend them. Their pastas are always perfect. I always save room for dessert as they have the best cannolis in Seattle and their ice cream sandwich is to die for.

They used to be a few blocks from my home but it is still work the trip to Wallingord to eat there. 4307 Fremont Ave N.

One of the best!! The family makes you feel at home, and the atmosphere was nice and relaxed. The dishes that we tried were really good and everything that came out was very fresh. The portions were generous and lunch prices start at $6.50 and dinner at $8.95. You can really get your grub on for cheap!!

The best blended mochas in Seattle!! Plus, Nevzat (the owner) is always fast, friendly and his prices are very reasonable. He even gives my dog Sophia a biscuit whenever she's with me. I always bring people to his drive-thru espresso and they are all amazed at how delicious his blended mochas are and to top it off, he's vegan friendly, even is whipped cream is non-dairy.

I had never been to Trader Joe's before and a visit to one in Seattle was my first experience. I can't really imagaine shopping anywhere else now. Their items are DELICIOUS and CHEAPER than normal grocery stores. The workers seems extremely nice and helpful and laid back. It seems like it would be a good place to work. The down side is the crowd TJ's packs in, especially on the weekend. I try my best to go during the day in the week. It won't take quite as long and it makes it easier to shop around.

The food is homemade on the spot, tasty, and ample for the moderate price. Located in an open area of Pike Place's Sanitary Market, you can "belly up to the bar" and enjoy the ambiance of being surrounded while you dine by the lively activity of the market. But come early, the stools fill up fast at this popular indoors-but-open-air pizza and pasta bar.

If you remember the original in downtown Seattle, I don't have to say more. It's exactly the same, delicious perfection! If you've never had one before, my advice is: Go there now, for crying out loud!  The new location, by the way, has changed to Normandy Park just south of Burien 17817 1st Ave. S.  Phone # 206-805-1704

Good and healthy food selections.  The grocery store ain't bad, but the inside deli is the bomb.

Who wouldn't love this place?  Gorgeous produce, excellent selection of Asian food staples, and great prices.  The attached cluster of restaurants are fantastic, cheap, and convenient.

A great night out, the Met is expensive.  Sure!  But the service is impeccable and the food is delicious.  The perfect restaurant for a special meal with staff that will treat you and yours like royalty.
