What People Are Saying About Chinook's At Salmon Bay
Featured Review
Anna Roth
Contributor
The Scene – Nestled between Magnolia and Queen Anne, this Salmon Bay fish house offers brilliant maritime views of the large Fisherman's Terminal fleet. A casual local crowd comes here for everything from first dates to 50th birthday celebrations, and it's a well-known spot to bring out-of-towners for a true Seattle experience. In the warmer months the sizeable patio catches lovely ocean breezes, but the cavernous, lively dinng room with its wall of floor-to-ceiling windows is a fine alternative. – – The Food – Chinook's offers dependable, affordable seafood standards…
Editor's Tips
- Know Before You Go:
- No reservations are taken. Large groups might want to arrive early to ensure a seat; in the summer there's usually a wait for the patio.
- What to Drink:
- Inexpensive carafes of the house white or red wine are great for sharing.
- Parking:
- Boaters rejoice: Chinook's offers free moorage.
- The Extras:
- Just want a quick bite? Hit up Little Chinook's next door for fish-and-chips.

Best Happy Hour anywhere!
by msjongg at Citysearch
Chinook's has the best Happy Hour in this area, bar none. Fabulous oyster shooters (seventy-five sents each!).The mussels are lucious, the salmon tacos kick butt and the New Orleans prawns are awesome. If you like shrimp cocktail they offer a huge one with decent tasting bay shrimp (usually an oxymoron). The razor clams are tasty but the clam strips and popcorn shrimp are boring like anywhere else. One microbrew on the happy hour menu and several bar drinks that I love - Lemon Drop, Cosmopolitan and Strawberry Fisherman's lemonade (with vodka). It's so fun to take friends from out of town there as the huge windows overlook the working fishing boats. The crowd is nice, the service good and the food is great!
- Pros: Great food and drink specials!
- Cons: Heavy traffic on the way - sometimes.

Best Brunch
by Jumbalaya07 at Citysearch
I love Chinook's brunch! You get free scones with your order that are to die for! We went the other day with my sister and her kids and we had the best time. The service was great. Our server was a native southern girl, just like us, and we had a good time chatting with her. The Huevos Rancheros was perfect. The only thing I didn't like was the noise, it was pretty loud in there. But it's great to be able to park out front and get a table so quickly. They also have the best lattes. It is busy on a Sunday, but the scones and coffee are worth the wait.

Great atmosphere, food is good, desserts are delicious!
by gourmandechezelle at Citysearch
I went to Chinook's last weekend with my family and we had a very pleasant evening. The atmosphere is great; loud and bustling which is part of the fun as you look out at the fishing boats. The bread they serve is sooooo good! I am a vegetarian and I was happy to see they had two vegetarian dishes; one can't really expect more at a seafood restaurant!
All of us enjoyed our meal and the desserts were terrific and huge! I was not overly impressed with our server; we had to flag her down a few times for things like refills and lemon. She was polite but not personable; she didn't really seem to be enjoying her job. Waiting tables is hard but the way you make the big tips is to make a positive impression on your table! That was the only minor downside of the evening; we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.
