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 been to "5 Spot" twice and enjoyed the cinnamon swirl French toast with caramel sauce on both visits. Although $9.00 seems rather expensive for French toast, it is worth it. You will be served two thick slices of cinnamon swirl bread, with a dollop of butter, and covered in a most delicious caramel sauce. This dish is definitely for those that enjoy something sweet for breakfast.
Pros: Friendly, prompt, and attentive service.

I usually go to the 5 Spot for late night happy hour ($5 dinners, $1 dollar PBR). I just went there today (Sunday breakfast) and it SUCKED. Eggshells in eggs, all 5 plates had wrong egg orders, undercooked potatoes, disgusting pork chop (usually tastes better during happy hour), crappy cook, incompetent wait staff. We informed the waitress of all these problems and she didn't even comp us a single plate. Only go late night after 10pm. Food is cheaper, wait staff is friendlier, not as busy, and $1 PBR.
Pros: After 10PM cheap and good
Cons: Crappy all day until 10PM
