The Scene – Tourists and seagulls entertain each other during happy hour, when drinks and full meals are $3. Many think of this Seattle institution as a fast-seafood stand. But beyond the sidewalk counter, bench seating stretches out across the pier for splendid views of the bay. Service is generally friendly and efficient. – – The Food – Downtown workers seem to be leaving this bargain to the tourists, but they're missing out on some well-prepared food specials that beat the price of the fish-and-chips outside. Accompanied by a zesty chipotle tartar, the fish taco…

Taste you will never forget.

by rose2desi

Never visit the Lakewood WA location of Ivar's. They have been told to only issue a maxium amount of napkins. The workes takes breaks without washing their hands upon returning from outside. I start eating at this location and find it to be so different from the smaller locations. I wish it was someway I could talk to the owner of that location. They are making me where I don't enjoy going to Ivar's like I have enjoyed it in the past.

Best chowder in Seattle

by alliespiritu

I advise anyone who has guests to visit this location because a) it's the most authentic one in seattle b) the ivars at malls cannot compare for some reason c) if not this location find an ivars that stands as a restaurant on its own, not in a mall. Great fish and chips, great chowder, even better when you eat both at the same time. You can never go wrong with chowder bread bowls and you can avoid getting the prawns. Stick with fish and chips and chowder!

  • Pros: Great fish and chips and chowder
  • Cons: Is a little more pricey because it's on the waterfront
