The best dining experience and food I’ve had during my visit. My waiter was very friendly and attentive. He gave me recommendations on places in the area I should visit. The food is good and didn’t break the bank. I’ll probably be back before I leave.

I would give them a 4 if I got a sausage patty like I ordered instead of a plain hamburger patty lol seriously! The atmosphere was cool! Loved our waitress! The food was regular, not the best tasting! Would have been better if I got what I ordered. I would recommend this spot if there’s no wait. Oh! And to top it off it was pink! Raw in the middle of the patty!! And I ordered fried hard well done lol Maybe the cook needs a vacation!

Very eclectic restaurant in an excellent location! The interior of this place could be an attraction on its own! The breakfast menu was plentiful and the food came out quick and hot. The French toast was delicious and so was the hot apple cider I got with it; the full breakfast my partner chose was average and filling. Prices were great considering the quantity and quality of food we recieved. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and didnt hover to let us enjoy the meal. They play movies on a TV and loud music; even at 9am. A must visit for sure, it has such an interesting and unique atmosphere and the staff are awesome!

Not sure why this place is so highly rated, I ordered rancheros and they did not taste good. Its just another brunch place. The vibe is kinda chill and cozy though but am not returning here.

Very good service and fitting atmosphere, love that theyre still requiring masks (thanks for being extra safe!)The food was good if youre in the mood for some comforting American food. The poutine was good but definitely not Canadian style as the cheese curds were replaced with melted mozzarella. The chicken fried steak was huge and definitely shareable. For me it was a bit heavier than I usually eat (both plates were doused in gravy) but good nonetheless!

Worst bisket and gravy I every had. The bisket was burned (see picture). How can someone serve food like this? The gravy didnt taste right. I didnt want to get food poison so I did not eat it. $17.51 for 2 eggs now thats sad.

Grabbed a comple drinks and some food here and the service was phenomenal! Babe, our server, was so friendly and funny. I got the halibut and chips and my partner got steak and eggs. The fish and steak were just a tad over cooked but otherwise the food was great! Definitely will come back.

Everything about this place was a 10/10. The Tomato Basil Soup depicted in the picture was the best Id ever had, and the tater tots were super satisfying. The staff were attentive and nice. Really glad I could stop by. I even bought one of their hoodies! Awesome quality as well.

Nothing fancy, just good food done right.Jalapeño poppers were massive! 5 in the appetizer order were split between 3 of us.My bourbon bacon blue burger was juicy and tasty. The bacon was crunchy; and while I love a pungent blue cheese, this blue cheese dressing was mild enough for those who arent as certain.The history of the cafe is interesting, and 24/7 availability -- including breakfast -- is very attractive as well.

Found my way to The 5 Point Cafe based on DDD type spot. High energy, yet chill spot with lots of unique persona. Chris gave a great pour and the food was tasty and very reasonable $ for Seattle.As long as youre not easily offended, make your way to this gem near The Needle.

Used to come here all the time before the pandemic and the food used to be really good but I guess maybe theyve gotten a new cook? Waitress was nice, and the cider was delicious. I like that they have heated outdoor seating.

Review №17

A friend of mine who lives in Seattle highly recommended this place to me, and I cant thank her enough. Its a unique and fun atmosphere, with friendly staff and fantastic food. The portions are amazing for the price as well. Plus, with its convenient proximity to the Space Needle, it was the perfect place to come as a tourist.

Review №18

Dark little hole in the wall seedy looking bar. Absolutely DELICIOUS food, and great friendly staff. Stopped by for breakfast, one of the few places open early on a Sunday in the city. Bit of a wait for the food, which was fine, had a chance to flirt and talk with my husband.I got the the custard french toast with fresh fruit and it was phenomenal. My husband got the corn beef hash with eggs over easy, and it was just as good. Plus fresh squeezed orange juice!Bar is VERY dark, but your eyes get use to it, and it fits the vibe.

Review №19

Expect a wait! But worth it. We ordered the mess. It was sooooo savory. The french toast with the loaded options was a fail. We would still return.Oh and they have a full bar. Outdoor seating.

Super chill place. Wait staff is easy going and on top of it. The bloody Mary was perfect with my chicken fried steak. The other people at my table ordered Benedict options, which were super tasty! Definitely will visit again!

Review №24

It is a shame they dont have the option of real maple syrup for their great pancakes and waffles. I try to avoid corn syrup and I think all places other than Dennys should avoid it as well.Steve is definitely one of the best servers/managers I have ever experienced - has such a sharp mind, is really in tune with the customers, and communicates expectations in a very timely manner.

Great place to grab a meal! Our waiter was super nice and could not have been more welcoming to my family. I wish I could remember his name so I could give him credit for doing such an awesome job. The food was great and the prices decent for Seattle. There is something for everyone on that menu! We will absolutely return and I recommend The 5 Point Cafe if youre looking for food within in a walkable distance from the Seattle Center.

Review №36

I go here whenever in town. Never disappoints. Great greasy spoon. This last time I had quite possibly the best corn beef hash I have had anywhere. Corn beef was in big tasty chunks, mixed with delicious potatoes, and topped with 2 over easy eggs. Had some man-mosas (mimosa with a shot of vodka) to wash it down. Usually come here for breakfast, but also a great midnight stop.

We went here for breakfast on 03/25/21. We ordered the meat 3-way omelette and egg white omelette. Since I didnt want broccoli on mine I asked if I can change that to onions and they did it for me without any additional charges. Both tasted really good and portions were huge!

Review №54

This restaurant/bar is a diamond in the rough!! We’re a group of New Hampshire tourists visiting family and this place was our favorite restaurant we ate at in Washington! Our server was amazing, so fun and energetic (I wish I got his name). My son is the pickiest eater and he was able to get pancakes and French fries for dinner and ate the whole thing !! Best part was when we were leaving my kids were dancing on the sidewalk and the bartenders came out and busted a few moves with them! They were over the moon!! 10/10 would recommend! Food was amazing as well!

Cute little tavern not far from the space needle. Tons of breakfast options. One side is a full bar. Outdoor/indoor seating. Food hit the spot. Bonus: mens bathroom has a mirrored window to see the top of the space needle

Review №63

Just go here! I understand this place is not for everyone (witnessed a customer berating an employee for the long wait, totally unacceptable and staff handled it perfect) took my 12 year daughter here for her first time in Seattle, she now compares every breakfast to the legendary 5 Point! Also within walking distance to Music Museum and Space Needle - Great music, eclectic memorabilia on the walls, food was superb, staff was busy, but couldn’t have been better - Will plan a visit every time we visit Seattle!

Our server Alex was AMaZiNG! We came in for a late night bite and he made some food and beer suggestions (both were amazingly good). The food, atmosphere, music, service, and location were all 5 stars. Recommend the tater tots and their dark ales. Give this guy a raise! LOL definitely will be coming back here when we are in town and recommending it to others.

We ordered the cream meat and the smoked salmon eggs Benedicts and shared them. They were amazing. The Bloody Mary was really good as well. The staff were super friendly. We had a great time. We wished we had gone earlier in our trip so we wouldve known to go back again. Next time well go for sure. Its well worth the wait.

This French toast is not to be missed! You wont regret going for the classic 5 point or the custard with fresh fruit. Make it brunch with a pitcher of mimosas and you are ready for anything!

Friendly wait staff. Dark inside. I ordered the 5Point Burger and it was alright. Fries seemed to be over cooked. The biscuit and gravy with 2 eggs were fair too. Orange juice was tangy like a mix of concentrate and tang.

Stopped by for a late dinner on a Friday night and loved it so much I had to come back for Breakfast in the morning. The atmosphere here is really chill and the servers are personable. The eggs Benedict is delicious! I was amazed at the prices for such large tasty portions. You can’t beat the morning happy hour deals either. If I lived in Seattle this would be one of my hidden gems.

Review №85

The lukewarm reviews had kept this place off our “must try” list until we decided to swing by on a lark for dinner. We appreciated the ability to sit outside and the service, which was both friendly and attentive. We had the bleu burger, jalapeño poppers, and the happy hour burger, all of which hit exactly the notes we wanted them to hit. The draft beer selection was just okay, but passable. The environment was a little grunge, but that’s part of its charm. Ultimately, we left feeling this was a good place to visit when you’re craving diner/pub fare and would visit again. From our conversation with the waiter we gathered that the 5 Point is known for its all-day breakfast. Most of the negative to neutral reviews I’ve seen seem to entail the breakfast choices. So, in the name of science, we might drop by again to see how it compares to the lunch/dinner options.

Review №88

Enjoyed the dinner there. I had the 8oz steak which came with mashed potatoes and steamed veggies with a pint of draft lager. My wife had the chicken burger and fries. Dessert was a strawberry rhubarb pie. Service by Ziggy good who helped get us through the labarynthian menu typical of Jersian diners and dive bars. Turned out that he was from a town in remote Pennsylvania that my wife used to vacation at with her family in the 1970s. Ha what are the chances of that happening?

Review №90

Fun atmosphere, but unimpressed by the food. Ordered an eggs benedict the day after a 20 mile hike (so I wasnt being picky). Hash browns were a combination of greasy and soggy after the first browned layer, egg wasnt poached quite right (there was some raw egg white oozing around), a very thin slice of not-that-delicious ham on the muffin.

Review №91

We enjoyed our time, our meal, and our server very much! They have poutine on the menu which is one of my all time favorite foods, so I was super excited about that! The food came quickly and we also weren’t rushed which is a really great quality to find in a restaurant. We would’ve given 5 starts except as we walked out, their sign got knocked over, presumably by the wind, since neither one of us even brushed against it, and one of the people working there came out and very rudely and passive aggressively said “don’t worry about it, I’ll pick up the sign”. It was completely unnecessary to do and he spoke without having any understanding of what had actually happened. If this guy hadn’t let his emotions get the best of him, this review would’ve been 5 stars because the food and the ambiance was exactly what you’d look for in a place like this! I guess just don’t knock the sign over if you go and you should have a pleasant experience!

Review №92

Great food at reasonable prices - an easy place to stop for good food without getting ripped off near the needle. Ziggy was a great server and knew the menu inside and out. He was very helpful with vegan options - just ask and they can make you an awesome vegan burger with cheese and fake bacon!

We came here on a Monday morning. It was very busy and under staffed so the wait was long. But the food was SO worth it. We ordered two kinds of Eggs Benedict, custard French toast, vegetarian patty burger, biscuits with gravy and omelettes. Every entree was good. The biscuits were the only item that we did not like. Highly recommended for a hearty breakfast!!

Super good food. Never had impossible chicken fried steak. Out of this world. Service was a bit slow, I think we waited 30 mins with empty plates and our server was nowhere in sight. They may have gone to lunch or something. Not a big deal. Id definitely return on my next trip to Seattle!

The food was delicious! Their bloody Marys were also better than most places. The only problem is we were eating in the dark. It was SO dark where the booths were, could barely even see our food. Need more lighting.
