Top 15 Affordable Restaurants in Seattle, WA

Nic Conroy This is a great New Mexican menu. If you are not familiar with Hatch Green chile, you should try this spot and if you are familiar you should make this spot a regular! The owner stopped by our table several times to ensure we were satisfied and the staff was super friendly! Amazing cocktails to accompany their great food

Tompkins Oscar My girlfriend and I enjoyed the three-course Thanksgiving meal. The squash soup and seasonal salad were fresh and delicious, while the main course of turkey and mashed potatoes was flawless. The pumpkin pie tasted homemade and was a sweet ending to a great Thanksgiving. We also enjoyed a seasonal espresso martini and old fashioned, both great. The service was excellent and wait time was minimal. Can’t wait to try the normal menu.

Monica Laudenglos Wonderful dining experience. Our New Years Eve date night. After a spicy Ceasar in the bar, we were seated in the dining room. Lovely waterview window table to start our evening. Our server, Dane, was super attentive without rushing us. We shared a large slab salad known as a wedge salad at other places. The blue cheese dressing is really good here. A must try offering was the fried Brussels sprouts that were prepared with a yummy sweet glaze that included pork shoulder pieces. Honestly, this is hands down the BEST Brussel sprout dish weve ever tasted. Large serving, so share it. My husbands filet mignon was cooked perfectly. It was as good as the Wagu beef we recently had. Flavorful and so tender. It was served with whipped mashed potatoes and fresh sauted green beans. I had a few bites and was full with the other we already consumed. This experience was better than 5 stars. We highly recommend Saltys at Alki.

Seila Mills The food is great! My family and I ate the fish and chips, burgers, Nashville hot, macaroni, pizza and chicken strips. We enjoyed all the food. We bought the nachos too. Delicious! Cash served us and he was great! He kept our drink full the whole time and had great customer service too. Thank you Yard House, in Seattle Washington, for a wonderful experience!

Helen Berg Husband and I couldnt decide where to have dinner so started to wonder and ended up at 1928 Tap and Grill. Its very inviting and comfortable. Service was prompt and food was delicious. Good size servings. Hubby had the cheese burger and raved about it and loved the fries. I had the orange chicken which was light, fresh and filling. Well definitely go back next time were in Seattle.

Les L Food has always been very good and the seafood is fresh. I usually do the lobster rolls, but I opted for the lobster salad this time, which still had a good portion of lobster. The clam chowder is tasty and full of clam bits but was a little runny and not as thick as I wouldve liked. The interior restaurant is a nice option if the weather is bad, while the outdoor window service and seating are great during the hot summer days.

RJ Rodriguez Came in today to celebrate my birthday and walked away with my new favorite restaurant in Seattle! Service was excellent and the food was incredible. The effort that was put into designing everything was top tier. FOOD HIGHLIGHT: The flautas? Get them! The sauce that comes with them is a personalized chefs kiss. We fought over that sauce. The Tacos? HANDmade just like home. Definitely worth every dollar spent here. Drinks? Delicious and not overpowering or too sweet they were just right. Can’t thank everyone enough for making this th best birthday dinner I’ve had in the last decade!

Michele Crayton Salt Harvest, located inside the beautiful Populous Hotel in Seattle, was an absolute delight from start to finish. The food was outstanding—rich in flavor and beautifully prepared. I had the ribeye steak with the onion ring tower, which was perfectly cooked, incredibly tender, and absolutely delicious. The King Salmon with Harvest Grits was equally impressive—fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. Truly amazing. The oysters on the half shell were a standout as well—fresh, local oysters sourced right here in Seattle, which added an authentic Pacific Northwest touch to the experience. The drink menu deserves special mention. Their wine selection highlights local Seattle wines along with excellent sparkling wine options, making it easy to find the perfect pairing for your meal. Beyond the food and drinks, the atmosphere truly sets this place apart. It’s phenomenal—relaxing and inviting, yet still very chic and stylish. The ambiance makes it perfect for a special night out or an elevated, comfortable dining experience. Salt Harvest delivers exceptional food, thoughtfully curated drinks, and a memorable experience. I will definitely be returning.

David W Good beer, great location. Very busy. We came here for an event this evening and decided to eat here. Nice new venue. We had a Casey special pizza - it was a sausage and pepper with added mozzarella and pepperoni. Very good off manu choice! The Roasted Sweet Corn dip was very good too. Oh, and the pale ale and blonde was great too :) For a busy place, they were able to seat is fairly quickly.

V Andrew (he/him) This place is just right, as in, pretty incredible. The ambiance is refined while laid back (cozy date-night feel still with a few understated screens and bit of edge from the large neon “MOVE THAT DOUGH” sign tucked in a back corner. The Italian wedge is a great concept they totally nail with the right tang from Italian flavors with a touch of sweet, and the mocktail game is among the best I’ve stumbled across. They’re not just throwing fruity stuff with seltzer; they’re actually experimenting with the plethora of NA offerings out there for balanced, elegant cocktails worthy of the name. If you sit at the bar, strike up a combo with the bartender about the latest in NA drinks—she’s on top of her game. Definitely a place to check out if you’re in the area, or need a bite before a game or show.

Joshua Vinnie If you’re craving something warm, comforting, and honestly just hits the spot, Secret Congee is the place. Their congee is super flavorful without being too heavy, and you can taste how fresh everything is. They also have a variety of different congees to choose from, so whether you want something classic or something a little unique, there’s always something that fits your mood. The shop itself has a cozy vibe, and the service is quick and friendly. It’s one of those spots you walk into thinking you’ll just grab a quick bite, and you end up wanting to try everything on the menu. If you love comfort food or you just want something satisfying after a long day, this place will not disappoint.

Jeff Pelch I was traveling on a work trip on my birthday and booked a table for one since I’ve always had an amazing meal at Duke’s when I’m in Seattle. When I showed up, the host wished me a happy birthday without me even saying that it was my birthday and when I got to my table, there was a birthday card for me. What an amazing way to start the meal! I had the smoked salmon deviled eggs which were insanely good, a small Caesar salad and got the stuffed halibut entree. Wow. Absolutely amazing. After the entree, the waiter asked if he could get me a birthday dessert and I chose the carrot cake - one of the best carrot cakes I’ve ever had. Can’t wait to come back to Duke’s again soon. What an amazing team!

Maria Ramya Caesar The food was incredible and the service excellent. Every dish we ordered was delicious and we polished off everything. We visited for lunch and ordered the following: Sweet Pepper Shakshuka, Greek Scramble, Octopus Hash, Como French Toast, Mushroom Kebab, and Chicken Kebab. We had a reservation for four and were seated immediately

Katharina Haynes Bethea Seriously some of the best Korean food in Seattle. The staff is really friendly and helpful. They made me feel so welcome and comfortable during both of my visits there. Order the jammy eggs regardless of what else you order. The kimchi trio is also amazing. And the daily plate is the best way to try a little bit of everything. I will be back when I am next in town!

Liz Y. I’ve been here many times for happy hour in the lounge but I recently dined at Charlotte for my bday. The food was amazing, especially the short ribs. My chicken was cooked to perfection as well. The chocolate dessert was amazing. I need to dine here more often. 1000% will be returning. Thank you!
