In Short – Named after Luna Park, a Coney Island style amusement park that used to grace West Seattle's waterfront, this lively cafe serves up omelets, shakes, burgers, and nostalgia by the plateful to a family-oriented crowd. The cafe boasts an original 1958 Seaburg Jukebox that plays a constant stream of Oldies, a Batmobile amusement ride from the original Luna Park and walls peppered with colorful fifties signage.

Sooooo good

by suzymccormick at Citysearch

Seriously - sooooo good. Standard diner/cafe food but with a fresh, comfort feel to it. They make their own salsa - they should jar it and sell it! Sometimes the service may not be prompt due to how busy they are, but the staff is always attentive and friendly.

  • Pros: Fantastic food, fun ambiance, friendly staff

Burgers, Beers and Fries

We went here base don the reviews and the location. We'll be going back based on the burgers, the beer, the fires and the salad. The staff is/was very nice. Very cool retro-vibe on the inside, and the front patio is very entertaining.

  • Pros: It's all good.
  • Cons: Hmmmmmm...

Best Burgers in a fun atmosphere

by patrickallen78 at Citysearch

Fun atmosphere, like a fifties diner with individual juke boxes at every table. The wait staff all have kind of a punk vibe and are always attentive, helpful and johnny on the spot. I consider myself a burger afficiando and was totally blown away by the burgers at Luna Park, get a hand dipped milkshake to go with it and you are set. This is an excellent place for a weekend breakfast as well.

  • Pros: Atmosphere, waitstaff and good down home food
  • Cons: none

Great food, fun atmosphere...

by shoobashooba at Citysearch

Recently tried Luna Park with a big group of friends and it was fantastic! The food was wonderful and the servers were extremely accomodating to our large group. Friendly and fun, it really made our experience wonderful. The place kind of looks like a museum, lots of memorabilia to gawk at. The breakfast was so delicious, we can't wait to try the lunch menu! We'll put it on the top of our list to return.

The Truth about Luna Park Cafe, as told from the customers point of view

by justanotherperson at Citysearch

I've been to Luna Park Cafe numerous times for Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner and l LOVE it.

The food is great and the staff is very friendly.

Recently I read a review about Luna Park that was a COMPLETE LIE!

Usually I take criticism with a great deal of acceptance and refer to it as opinion, however, this particular review struck a chord with me.

I had to check this out for myself.

Please read the other reviews and you will find the one that I am talking about.

More importantly, you will find that people regard Luna Park as great restaraunt, with great food and an awesome environment.

Everytime I am there, the service is great. I've never had to go into the "waitress area"

but after reading the review, i made it a mission to step into the area in question to see for myself any inderlying characteristics.

What did I see when I got there? Nothing of consequence, merely the staff doing their jobs.

One person was at the register putting in an order, another thru a window chopping ingredients, and one cooking.

What I DID NOT SEE, nor have I ever, was a dishwasher that was not presentable, nor a garden hose to speak of.

I personally have never had a dirty dish at Luna Park, however I know that they are not a myth.

But I can assure you that no member of the staff would ever knowingly present you with a smudged fork or crusty plate. and in the event that it did happen I KNOW that they would gladly oblige you with a replacement.

I have to say, Ms. Patricia, it seems that you have a grudge against Luna Park.

Your review was completely void of fact.

I can only hope that your appearent smear campaign has fallen on deaf ears.

To the readers of these reviews, Luna Park Cafe is a great place.

The history, the memorabilia, the staff and the food are truly exceptional.

A "do not miss" part of the Seattle experience.

I'm sure you will find this for yourself.

Enjoy!

  • Pros: service, staff, memorabilia, environment, food
  • Cons: small parking lot but plenty of street parking
