Breakfast anytime.

by carter98105

The Hurricane is. It's a dark and cool respite from the mean streets of the city. Here is a dark, safe place for you to hide in a big cushy black booth and recover. They will feed you a perfectly good breakfast at 5 PM or 6AM - OR!! 3:47AM and bring you alcohol in any form you request. All without being judgemental or disdainful. This place is the mother everyone wishes they had. The bathrooms could be more appealing- Mom's a little off her game on that front. Whether I wake up in a bit of a fog or I never passed out at all, the Hurricane is the place I head to recover. A solid eggs benedict and stout Cape Cod can cover a lot of sins and this is one-stop shopping among like-minded peers. I love it deeply.

Yucky !!!!!

by DoogieHowser

This cafe was right next to our hotel in Seattle so we thought we'd give it a try since it was late in the night and they were 24 hours. We got seated within 5 minutes of arriving and served water untill a waitress came to take our order.

We ordered our food and it took just over an hour to recieve it, while waiting for our food we were able to watch many people from different walks of life come in and out it was very interesting but anyway we ordered a 12 egg omelette (lol), a fiesta burger meal and nachos, the burger was very good along with the fries, the nachos were just horrible I swear the just got a bunch of tortilla chip threw them on a plate and sprinkled some shredded chese over it and thre it in the microwave...when I picked one chip up I swear the entire plate lifted along with it because the cheese was so rubbery everything was stuck together, the omelette tasted a bit funny too, there was some sort of yellowish powder on the side of the plate and thats how we found out if you order the 12 egg omelette half of it is POWDERED EGGS!!!!! we didn't even eat the omelette and there wasno way in hell we were gonna eat the nachos so between the four of us we split the fiesta burger and fries. It sad that you have to wait for over an hour for the food and leave within 10 minutes after recieving it because the food was terrible. Other than that the staff was okay, bathrooms were nasty!!!! Never again.

• Pros: Great staff, smoke free diner. cold water.
• Cons: Horrible food, needs changes, nasty restroom.

Need pancakes at 3 am?

by cowgirl_blues

As far as all-night diner's go, you can't beat the Hurricane. It has all the usual - skillet plates, huge omelets, bottomless hashbrowns, shakes, lots of fried appetizers and nachos...

and for the times when you need pancakes at three am AND a beer they serve some pretty mean drinks, too. Yeah, it's a dive, but it's a great one. It has a jukebox that plays all of your favorite alternative and rock hits, an arcade with pinball machines and old-school videogames but for all that it's actually pretty quiet. A nice plays to hang out with friends after a concert or an extra-long shift at work. The waitstaff are usual tatooed and pierced, they'll joke around with you if you're game and be snarky if your not but if you don't need a server to fake smile and call you sir or ma'am constantly you'll realize the service is actually great most of the time. They also cook up a mean bowl of vegetarian chili.

It's not fine dining, but it is a great place to hang out for a couple hours with your friends and get a solid, old fashioned stick-to-your-ribs breakfast or dinner.

• Pros: 24 hours!, good parking, fun place to hang out, entertaining servers
• Cons: slow service, no diet options
