 This diner, which looks like it was born to be a fish shack, is famous for its blackened salmon burger, thanks to some shlub from the New York Times who liked it. (Why does it take a New Yorker to make Seattleites notice something?) Topped with remoulade sauce and grilled onions, the spiced-up... More >> |

 Known as "the 4B's" (that's Ballard Bar, Billiards, and Burgers), this classic dive has some extras tacked on: a roomful of pool tables, skee-ball, pinball, electronic darts, and a jukebox, not to mention cheap pitchers of PBR and Rolling Rock.

 Ballet's atmosphere is dull, but don't let the decor or the linoleum dissuade you. Try the satay soup; the kitchen skips the wooden stick and tosses its chicken satay into coconut milk soup with vegetables and ground peanuts. The mock chicken (soy protein) is also tangy and dependable. More >> |
