Editorial Review for 5 Spot – by Citysearch Editors
The Scene
Blue- and white-collars rub elbows in this Queen Anne eatery, and unshaven faces are definitely OK. Arrive early for breakfast and take advantage of exceptional people-watching opportunities during the moderate wait for a table. Open spaces and chirpy menu descriptions keep the place casual and relaxed, but servers are speedy and highly competent--mason-jar water glasses won't be empty for a moment.
The Food
Owners Peter Levy and Jeremy Hardy have traveled the country in search of blue-collar cuisine. As a result, the menu--and its featured regions--changes several times a year. Nothing beats diner fare, which translates to heaping portions of often good, simple food. From "blunch" to a late-night menu, choices abound: omelettes, home-style biscuits and gravy, halibut and chips, buttery fried chicken, and red beans and rice round out the greasy-spoon staples.

i have only lived in seattle a couple of years, so maybee the place was bland and disapointing before, but itsgreat now. i was recomended by a friend and thought the idea of a changing menu and decore sounded unique and fun. and i was not disapointed. the place is lively and full of energy and color. the service was amazing and our waitress was very knowledgeable about beers, and ingredients in the food. i eat there regularly now. and one morning i went out to breakfast at another place closer to where i live. and its easy to forget how incrediable hashbrowns eggs and bacon can be, until i eat some that aren't. further making me appreciate how awsome the food at the 5 spot is! meat and potates hooray! ! !
Pros: atmosephere, service, wall art, tasty tasty
Cons: kid friendly

My brother, father and I went to breakfast at 5 Spot, my brother and I both are in the service, I was in civilian attire and he in his uniform were refused service. As a member of the services, it is very sad when you are ignored and repeatedly told to wait another 20 min at a restaurant that obviously has openings (seating 5 families of equal size who also walked in after you) and repeating "For YOU it will be another 20 min" after almost an hour we left. This restaurant has had decent food in the past but will never have us as customers again.
Pros: decent food
Cons: bad service and high prices
