Don't Eat Here- Smoke and Drink Only

02/22/2005 Posted by ladyjame

I can't vouch for the drinks, but I can say the food was overpriced and the service was SUPER slow. I've gone a couple of times during happy hour, and still the two appetizers I ordered were $5/each. And the portions are VERY small. The service was slow both times. Even though we were the only people in the dining area. By the time the food got to us, it was cold. And it didn't taste that great anyway. Looked like there was only one "chef" back there so that might explain why the food took so long. We didn't sit in the bar area and we still went home smelling like cigarettes. Recommended for people who just want to smoke and drink at the bar.

Pros: Free parking in back, Plenty of room to sit, Choice of seating

Cons: Slow service, Cigarette smoke, Cold food

Editor's Review

Stiff drinks, excellent pub grub and a neighborhood feel have earned this Ballard diner legendary status. See the full editorial review.

Insider Tips

Know Before You Go

National touring acts attract large crowds that inevitably spill into Hattie's and quickly cramp the small bar. Check the music schedule at the nearby Tractor Tavern for details.
