Shelly's Breakfast Lunch - Burien

The portion sizes at this restaurant were generous, but unfortunately, the food arrived cold. Our drinks were served promptly, although they were brought by a different server. My husband ordered a kitchen sink bowl that was cold and the cheese was not melted. He requested wheat toast but received rye instead, and when he mentioned the error, the waitress argued and did not offer a replacement. I ordered the chicken fried steak with gravy on the side, which turned out to be a disappointing white gravy that lacked freshness. Additionally, my scrambled eggs were undercooked. The waitress took our order and then disappeared, not returning to check on us or deliver our check. Another server brought our food and we overheard the waitress arguing with a colleague about the toast mix-up. Despite requesting a coffee to go, the coffee guy never returned with it. To make matters worse, when we went to pay with a card, we were charged an additional fee, turning our $40 breakfast into a $42 one. Considering the prices and the subpar experience, I would not recommend this restaurant for breakfast. There are better options available. I will not be returning on my next visit. The photos I posted reveal the chaotic state of their kitchen near the register.

To start, the food is amazing! However, the environment is a bit divey. The service is okay. I may not choose to return next time I'm in town, but it's convenient if you need a quick bite before catching a flight out of town.

The breakfast at this restaurant is excellent with generous portions. While it may be a bit expensive, it is a locally owned establishment that serves delicious food, so it is worth it. The breakfast burrito, in particular, is enormous and delicious, especially when served fried with a side of Ranchero sauce. The leftovers were just as good the next day! My husband did not enjoy the French toast, so we will opt for regular toast on our next visit.

Are you a fan of old school diners? Put this one on your list. It?s only about 10 minutes from SeaTac airport. Lots of egg dishes sammies, Benedicts, pancakes? my wife got a breakfast veggie sandwich and she said it tasted ?home made,? with Wheatbread, over hard eggs, cheddar cheese, avocado and pico. She chose hash browns and her plate came out very full. Since it wasaround $13, I pieced together several sides to make a meal for $10. I had two, very large eggs (made over easy like I prefer),English muffin and sausage patties. I stacked them up and put some of her pico on top. Delicious! Coffee was good, hot andserved in a mug you?d likely find in your home cabinet. Ambiance was colorful, local folks who seemed to be enjoying their mealsand time together. Each plate coming out seemed big enough to share if you eat light or are on a budget. Or take the rest homefor a bonus meal! Wait staff was attentive and prompt.

There are many other dining options that are superior to this restaurant. My waffles were overcooked and hard, while the sausage links had a foul odor and taste. The owner, who also served as our waitress, displayed rude and impolite behavior.
