Best

Awesome location looking out into a marina, seems like a perfect place for a seafood restaurant. Excellent drink selection, extensive menu, friendly staff, blah blah blah. The Sea...

Worst

Chinooks was at best, average. There are so many other seafood restaurants in Seattle that have much more to offer. The wait was horrendous (no reservations nowadays makes no sens...

Best Happy Hour anywhere! 1/9/2010

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. more

Best Brunch 3/2/2009

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. more

Great atmosphere, food is good, desserts are delicious! 9/5/2008

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! more

Delicious! 9/4/2007

A colleague of my husband's brought him here, and he couldn't wait to bring me. We loaded up our three small children and headed over. Before we even went inside, the children loved looking at the fishing boats moored outside, and we paid our respects at the fisherman's memorial. Pros: Child-friendly, fantastic food and drink, great service. Cons: Chairs on the narrow side for those of us who have a little more to squeeze in. more

They can't be this bad...can they? 12/10/2005

Service was quick and with a smile. The wines by the glass were OK and affordable. I ordered the Sockeye cooked on Alderwood plank. It was so overcooked it was tough to eat...I actually had to use a knife a couple of times. The plank was likely more tender. I eat a lot of Salmon. This was like (slightly) re-hydrated jerky. I'm not kidding. I am also suspicious that it was Sockeye. All the Sockeye I've had has been deep reddish with thin graining. This was peachy pink with thick graining. Not only was it overdone, but thin as a shoe sole...and cost 22 + tax. The broccoli was boiled a bit too long, but edible. The potato onion glop is just greasy and nasty. It can't be this bad all the time?!?! I will try it again to make sure. Why didn't I send it back? I'm a wuss. Pros: Service with a smile Cons: Bad food more

Our Favorite Place to Eat 11/24/2005

We live in Portland and visit several times a year. Even if we are passing through from Canada we will swing West just to eat at Chinooks. We've never been disappointed in anything we've gotten. Their planked salmon beats everyone else in the city. And their Key Lime pie is to die for, made fresh on the premise with very lightly sweetened fresh whipped cream. The atmosphere and the view is like eating at a sailors diner. Just love it. Pros: Fresh Seafood, Iced Tea, View Cons: The wait more

Two words... 11/7/2005

Bread pudding!!! But, if you are there for more than dessert there are many delicious options. I've been going to Chinooks for over 15 years and I love to show my friends what a great place it is. The seafood is great and the breakfast is wonderful as well...fresh baked scones for all. They rival the delicious foccacia that is served in the evenings. Pros: Bread pudding, relaxed atmosphere, knowledgeable staff more

never disappointed 9/29/2005

I've eaten at Chinook's over a dozen times and have never been disappointed. I take a lot of out of town guests here because it is a great Seattle establishment, and a little too far from the tourist district to be overpriced. I recommend eating al fresco if the weather is warm. The inside can get pretty loud, so not a great romantic spot. Go look at the boats if there is a wait. Pros: value, parking, historic location Cons: noisy more
