big suprise. this place surprised the hell out of me. I came not suspecting a good meal but the food is great. I highly recommend the chicken fried chicken with mashed potatoes and spinach side. plus a mac an jack!

sometimes you get the impression that your server would rather talk to her friends but that only happens most of the time.

Sloooooowwwww kitchen.. Went there for breakfast/brunch. The breakfast menu was interesting, not just your standard fare. I had migas, wife had eggs accompanied by a deep fried chicken breast topped with gravy. The food was excellent. Also, htey have a really good bloody mary The wait staff was decent. I would have rated them higher except for the kitchen prep time. I swear they must cook just one table's order at a time. We literally waited for 50 minutes from the time we placed our order until the time we got it. Normally you would expect that the food would have gone cold or sat under a heat lamp with a wait that long, but it was hot, just cooked. Go figure.

Hattie's Rocks!. It's barely above a dive bar, but that's what I like about it. The drinks are stiff, the food is yummy, (the Salmon Club kicks a** and the burgers are one of the best kept secrets in Seattle!) the music is always good (I hear T-Rex on a regular basis. YAY!) and tons of low key locals hang out here. The service is sometimes a bit slow, but it's generally on the dining side and during the weekend brunch time. There is one server there that has waaaaayyyy too much attitude, but all the others make up for her.

Additionally, I recently took my promise ring off in the bathroom to wash my hands and forgot to put it back on. When I remembered, 20 minutes later, that it wasn't on my finger and RUSHED back to the bathroom and it wasn't there, I almost burst into tears. But then I asked the bartender and someone had turned it in!! I don't think most places have patrons or staff that cool. Suffice to say, I love Hattie's!

hang with the locals for beer and burgers. good place to get your greasy fix...and have some alcohol with it. i like the location as i can go to this place before a show at the Tractor which is right nearby. it can get smoky in here sometimes....but overall, strong drinks, good people, and a neighborhood vibe make this place a cozy spot to chill.

Okay Food, Bad Service. I went to Hatties for a late Sunday Brunch. I was expecting a hole in the wall with greasy, hearty bar food. The food was fine, nothing to write home about. But the service really sucked. The waitress was nice but largely absent, even thought the restaurant was less than half full, The meal took about 5 times longer than it needed to, due to unnecessary wait time for everything from coffee to the check. Also, I was told they had run out of knives, so I couldn't have one. I was forced to stab my slab of ham with a fork and tear it with my teeth, caveman style. Cool when you're 6 not so cool when you're 24, and in public.
