This place was really cozy!
First I'd like to recognize the ONLY two servers/ bar tenders in the entire establishment (Kristin and the guy). They worked so well together in the busy restaurant.
The Male server made a wonderful first impression,
He took the group order without writing it down and got it correct!
Thank you to the chef for getting the food out quick!
We each ate the claim chowder- the Best!
I had the Cod Nachos- really salty
Fried Pickles were also ordered- pretty decent.
I recommend going to the restaurant when you want a good quick bite to eat!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0Business owner information

The food was okay. I had the Steakhouse Burger. My only complaint was my fries were cold. We were four. Nobody else had a complaint food wise. It's good to get a char broil burger too.
Service was great. They were good at clearing dishes which made me very happy. Attentive and professional.
The setting at Fisherman's Terminal on the water is the best. Ambiance is a neighborhood cozy place.
I'm going back.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 1Business owner information

Roger, Thank you for the visit and constructive comments in your review. we are pleased that you liked your charbroiled burger, great service, nice setting and ambience...darn cold fries. We certainly apologize for that and hope that next time you will tell your server and get a nice hot and freshly seasoned order of Alehouse Fries. They are the best!
We look forward to service you again soon.

It was fine for lunch. The food was average, so not great, but not bad, & prices as you would expect these days which is higher than the "before times". (Covid). The service was pretty good too. My overall complaint is paying a 2.9% transaction fee, even though I used a debit card. In general, I'm becoming quite weary of all the added fees to a simple lunch or dinner order. I'd love for restaurants to just wrap it all into one price so I know what I'm in for and don't feel nickel and dimed when the final bill hits the table. It's just frustrating and discourages future visits.

I eat here every week. Food and service is always good. My fav menu item is the fish tacos, which is what I always order. Other items I've tried that are good are the burger and fried pickles. Easy parking, never too busy, and great food and service, highly recommend. I'm always shocked that it's not more busy given I live in downtown Seattle and this is the only restaurant I eat at on a regular basis (ie the fish tacos are that good).

Hi Keith, Thank you for being such a great patron of the Highliner. We agree those cod street tacos are very tasty! Feel free to tell the whole world about our little hidden gem (with loads of free parking) down here at Fishermen's Terminal!
We look forward to serving you again soon,

Over priced
Surly waiter

Enjoy the rest of you vacation Darrell. We sure did try to make you happy after you noticed a nice crispy end to your Alaskan Tru Cod (before you had tasted it!) -we suggested you try the actual fish and after that we would be happy to bring you a new order or present your menu again were you could order anything else that might suite you better. You declined and said you would eat it …which you did, every bite. Next time just let us know you don’t want to pay.

Great service, drink selection was great, and the food was yummy! We have a toddler and it was super kid friendly which is perfect. It's surrounded by boats in the marina so it's a fun spot to see before or after dining. Love this spot!!

It was quick lunch after a walk at Discovery park. I ordered a cup of clam chowders, it was ok. It was not the best or the worst. The clams were big pieces, I want it to be little thicker. My friends said her laser clams were not good, the salmon sandwich and Thai chili burger were good. They were thin on servers. The server just came to get plates and did not refill the water once. I am not sure if I would come back.

Jay, Thank you for the visit and review. Glad you liked the Thai Chili Burger and Grilled Salmon Sandwich and of course pleased you found lots of big clam pieces in your chowder! That is certainly the goal;-) being able to offer whole fried razor clams is very cool and even though we note it clearly in the menu they are chewy…and delicious. Thanks again for the business and constructive criticism to help us improve.

Service was quick, but curt. Is that really the vibe here? This Chinook marketplace is quintessential boomer Seattle, so I wonder if we generationally missed the threshold?
Enough beers on tap to ensure PNWers are happy and enough local bottles to make the rest of us (who dont like IPAs) happy.
Not sure sure I would venture out this way to visit, but this place was good for a post dinner beer.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 0 - Gary F.Anchorage, AK431551Feb 14, 2023
