Rascals Public House - Review - Bellevue - Seattle - The Infatuation
"This Bellevue restaurant and bar is a self-proclaimed “underground oasis” with a massive, shrubbery-filled dining room, a loose Sasquatch theme, and more than one turf-covered garden gnome dressed in human clothes. But nothing quite distracts from the boring food, including sad takes on basics like mac n cheese and fried chicken. This place could come in handy for groups that want to just spread out and have a few drinks—there are plenty of open tables, plus a little library lounge. But for enjoyable dishes, look elsewhere in the neighborhood. Food Rundown photo credit: Kayla Sager-Riley Six-Cheese Shells & Cheese Despite having six cheeses, this dish is watery, bland, and not even all that cheesy. It’s barely a step up from what you might find on kids' menus. photo credit: Kayla Sager-Riley Nashville Hot Honey This stringy chicken breast is covered by an unappealing, messy heap of coleslaw. It comes with very tasty seasoned fries, though—order those on their own. photo credit: Kayla Sager-Riley Rascals Fried Chicken Overcooked, undersalted, and dripping with oil. Plus, the pieces come served on a bed of raw spinach that immediately wilts. photo credit: Kayla Sager-Riley Caesar Salad This is a perfectly fine caesar salad with a lot of grated parmesan cheese that we could have used sprinkled on the six cheese shells." - Kayla Sager-Riley
