Endolyne Joe's

I've been waiting a long time to be near Endolyne Joes at an appropriate time to give them a try and it finally woked out. I'm a bit torn because I absolutely loved the place. Great people, great location, great vibe and atmosphere. That said, the only down side was good food. Good, not Great. Actually, really good in some ways but we had a rather large group and shared a few of the items around the table. Everything was totally acceptable but there were a few items that left us a bit less than impressed. I hit the jackpot with the jackpot with the Cajun Benedict. The eggs were cooked to perfection and even though I could handle a bit more heat the flavor was excellent. The potatoes (smashed reds I beleive) were really nice and crispy and moist and tender inside. Tasso Ham was an interesting choice of meat but since I expected it to be a bit drier and firmer, I wasn;t at all disappointed. The Little Italy, another benedict like offering, featured Sausage on Palenta and as a sausage nut, I actually thought it might have been over the hill. No stomach issuse just not the flavor we had hoped for. Turkey sandwich, just fine, nothing to write home about, The kids meals, burger, chicken strips, frys, kids were happy and they looked great, all good. Others had Grilled Cheese and soup, burger, Chicken fried chicken sammie, not sure what else. No-one was bummed nor thrilled. So there it is. Coolest little spot in the area and Friday at noon, the food was... acceptable.

Peyton was very attentive and professional. Loved her "nose necklace". Her recommendations were spot on. Great food and good prices. We will definitely be back. Good job E.Joe's

A nice cozy place with Great food...! (Pictured is their Chicago French dip roast beef sandwich). I will be back, as a matter of fact I'm going back there for breakfast tomorrow because their food is excellent...!!

Awesome food, good prices, but I was a little disappointed in the service. Not rude exactly, but close. Perhaps an off day. They were still attentive and quick at least.

Bartender was excellent. I ordered the Cajun eggs Benedict — the biscuit was solid, but the dish overall needed more depth. The sauce leaned tobacco-vinegar and didn’t bring much flavor beyond that. As someone who’s spent quite a lot of time in the Southeast, I have to note beignets should be pillowy, not chewy. Still, friendly service and a warm atmosphere.

Went here for lunch. It was cozy atmosphere, excellent foods and great service. The server was very kind. Highly recommend

Very good food. Feels homemade. Waitress was great. Reminded me of old school serving. She asked me if I needed anything else a couple minutes after food was delivered and pre bussed my table. The kitcken staff were incredible. Great to see. They communicated well together. One cook even asked the other cooks if they need anything to drink. This is awesome. Also, very clean. I recommend!

Foods and services always top notch. I love their salad, shrimp curry and honey spanked fried chicken. The fried chicken has both dark and white meat since it’s half chicken. So tasty! On Easter we had their special carrot cake. It’s the most amazing carrot cakes we ever had. Wish carrot cake is on their regular dessert menu too.

My wife and I have been going to breakfast at Endolyne Joe's for many years. We have always enjoyed the ambience there, but I have thought that at times the food lacked a consistency of quality--until now! Our last two breakfast experiences have been absolutely delicious! I can only comment in their breakfasts, and since they tweaked their menu recently, and also apparently hired a new head chef "several months ago", according to our server, there has been a dramatic improvement in everything I have eaten for breakfast. I really believe I can taste the love and care that now goes into the preparation of what is put before me on the table. Bravo, Endolyne Joe's!!!

Love the food. Every month or so they feature a different cuisine which keeps the menu fresh and exciting; and I would imagine the cooks more engaged. They also up the ante by including artwork that reflects the region they are featuring. We eat here often and are never disappointed. If something is amiss the staff have been very accommodating. A bit ago, we didn't notice, but the service at our table was a bit slow. The staff comped us a dessert, bless their hearts!

Not sure if they have new cooks. But last time a couple years ago, the food took forever, and I think everyone's breakfast was burnt. Havnt been back since. But try it, ya never know. :))

Came here for brunch last week and were able to get a decent table that was spacious for all of us. We ordered the Migas and the special Birria Benedict. The Migas was decent, and their take on the birria benedict was good. It did come with a side of black beans. It would be better if it had some consume, in my opinion. We also shared some beignets, which were good. Overall, it was a decent experience.

Signature fried chicken and biscuits and other recipes need some love. Brining chicken, spicing up the breading, and refrigerating the coated pieces before frying are just a few suggestions. Smaller biscuits with fresh grated butter and buttermilk might work better. Not offered deserts.

Stopped by a weekend morning before the rush. The customer service and hospitality was so welcoming. I wanted a classic comfy breakfast and ordered a small stack of pancakes. It was so good! Warm, light, sweet, super fluffy with the slightest crunchy edges. Loved their maple syrup too. The biscuit and gravy was fluffy and really good depth flavor in the gravy. The potatoes were yummy too but undercooked. Since they're cooked whole, it was still slight hard in the middle and lacked seasoning. If they were sliced in half, I think that would've elevated the flavors more.

This is one of the few spots where you can tell the chefs cook with love still. Absolutely beautiful service and kindness from the staff. The food will have you feeling like you have a beautiful family cooking for you. The local art is also super amazing they change the theme of the art and menu every couple of months which makes the whole experience feel fresh every time we go in.

I have been coming here for about 5 years now and this is my first review. They used to rotate every few months with locations and would do dishes inspired by those locations. It doesn't seem like they do that anymore. I walked in for breakfast on this given day and ordered the hamorama scramble. It's always delicious. I sat at the bar for quick service and I was in and out of there pretty quickly. For breakfast foods it's a bit overpriced, but that's on par with Seattle prices. Overall a good experience this time. I usually come for breakfast though so I cannot speak on lunch and dinner.

Came in for brunch and the food was good. Hostess seemed lost as to the order people came in. Some people complained to her. Small parking lot to park elsewhere or on the street.

We came here on a Saturday for brunch. There was a 5 minute wait which was not bad at all. We love the interior because it had a antique cabin diner feel. The giant Mount Rainer was a nice touch. We ordered the all day breakfast and the ham scramble. The all day breakfast had nice thick bacon on it that made the whole dish. We both had potatoes on our plate. Although I liked how crispy the potatoes were, I hated the seasoning. It had sugar on it that made it way too sweet. My biscuit was just mediocre and was too plain for my liking and same thing with my scramble. Price was decent but definitely on the pricier side. The one thing I would say this place stands out on is the service. Our food came out fast and our checks. I was thirsty through the meal but it's only because the water glass was small.

This is the saddest review I've had to give. We used to LOVE Endolyne joes, it was the best family staple for us. They must be under new management because the old Endolyne joes is long gone when it comes to service. We walked into the restaurant to see 10 open tables, the hostess quickly brushed us aside to seat another group who came after us and we were then forced to wait for over 20 minutes to get a table, while the hostess just stared at us periodically, absolutely ridiculous. So sad to see this once great restaurant take a hit with this poor and rude service :( food is always still amazing but lack of service doesn't make up for the overall experience

Love this place! I come here with the wife and kiddo when we want to treat ourselves just a little nicer to dinner. I've had the lamb burger, halibut, and fried chicken and it was all amazing. Rotating seasonal menu items are always worth your attention. And Sunday Fried Chicken night is awesome! I would definitely advise going for Nashville Hot on the chicken, as it made it ten times better. And if you have a group of people ordering it, it all comes out family style on a bunch of large platters. Full bar. Good wine and beer selection. Wait staff has always been friendly and accommodating even during busier times. I've never had to wait more than maybe 5 minutes for a table. The only possible drawback is this particular block is a bit of a cell phone dead zone, but there is a customer Wi-Fi network you can use if need be. We shall continue to return to this establishment regularly!

I wish i didn't have to write this but Joe's has changed. Used to be a welcoming place. My son and I came in a for a late lunch and sat at a table in the bar. For twenty minutes we sat there in plain view of the bartender and a wait staff with only two people at the bar,no one came over to ask or take our order. I tried to signal someone even making eye contact with both people. NOTHING! Finally we got up and announced we were leaving and said to watch for this review. Management needs to read this and a forthcoming West Seattle blog I will be posting. Taking Joe's off my go to list. I am nearby neighbor and I will be spreading the news about this incident. Joe needs new help. J Riefflin. West Seattle resident

We were looking forward to meeting up for a birthday get together at 4:00 pm on a Sunday afternoon. The four of us had a reservation and our drinks and appetizer came promptly and we thoroughly enjoyed them. However, the main course took over an hour to be served. We were willing to give them the benefit of the doubt on the wait but when the food came, unfortunately one fish dish was frozen in the middle, the carne asada dish was cold and the pollo asado was questionable. We were never told why the wait was so long, but when we complained they took the frozen fish off the bill (which we sent back) and a round of drinks. I'm giving 3 stars here because I have eaten here before for breakfast and have had good experiences in the past. Unfortunately I don't think I will come back here for dinner again.

Endolyne has always been a spot for brunch, but we decided to go during lunch/dinner. The theme for food was Baja California. The focus was Mexican food. We ordered the queso, it was good, the drinks were delicious. BUT the service of when we got our food was terriable. Not sure if they were short staff but it took an hour to get the main courses. And one came out with a cold fish. They accommodated the drinks and cancelled the fish, but overall 3 star because I'm giving them benefit of the doubt they were short staff. But food was not bad.

Have been here a few times ,the service & food are always good. We love that they change the menu every few months, it's São Paulo right now ; the chimichuri was delicious, however the cut of steak I received had a bit of gristle in it . My wife got the brisket & pork combo and the brisket was like jerky, we thought it was bacon for a minute. I would go back as I've eat some very good meals here, maybe not for São Paulo again!!

A very regular "go-to" for me and my boyfriend! The vibe in this restaurant is so unique yet "home-y" feeling, the service is always fast and welcoming, and the food is delicious! They have basic breakfast/lunch/dinner options but also some Brazilian, Cajun, and more. Something for everyone! I always get the Huevos Rancheros with Chorizo and I clean the plate everytime! If you're looking for a local favorite in West Seattle, be sure to check out Endolyne Joes!

This place is a cute little place but the food was a disappointment. Food We had a large group of 10, so we were able to try a lot of things on the menu. I got the Cajun eggs Benedict which were absolutely drowned in hollandaise sauce, it came with smashed potatoes (fried) that tasted like 10 day old oil. My husband's fish and chips were rubbery and over cooked. My mom's salad had almost no dressing on it, the steak was way over cooked. Overall we were not impressed - the only reason I gave 2 stars was because our server was very helpful and kind. But the food was almost inedible. Won't be back.

This made for a convenient brunch stop when going from Vashon to the airport. Plus, the menu seemed intriguing enough, with a mix of American-, Mexican-, and Brazilian-inspired dishes. Our party of four didn't have much of a wait, which was shocking (though after seeing the size of the space, I'm actually not shocked). It was large enough inside so that tables weren't on top of each other. Our server was pleasant as well. Three of us got Brazilian-inspired dishes and one of us got an American-inspired dish. The overall verdict was that the Brazilian dishes were much better than the American dish. My linguica hash had a good amount of flavor, but the toast seemed more like a very large crouton. So dry! Also, the coffee was not good at all. This is Seattle - up your coffee game!

Part of the menu here changes. I like that. I think it gives the kitchen staff some flexibility to be creative. I was told by a regular that they also serve breakfast all day. I like it when cafes do that, too. I had something they called Shrimp Piccata that was done in a New Orleans style dark sauce. If I'd been hoping for classic Italian, I would have been disappointed but putting the name of the dish aside, it was delicious. The waitress with her apple cheeks and great smile, was busy but found time to be attentive. She did an excellent job. We weren't in a hurry so the reputedly slow kitchen didn't matter.

We got a breakfast sandwich and a Caesar salad with chicken, to go. Both were good, with the breakfast sandwich being the better of the two. The indoor seating looked pleasant, and had the weather been cooperative, the outdoor seating would have been good as well. I think of this as a place for breakfast, brunch or lunch. I wouldn't make a special trip to West Seattle for this, but now that the bridge is back in operation, it's easy enough to get to Lincoln Park and the Endolyne area. In other words, if I'm in the area, and need breakfast or lunch, I'll plan to consider Endolyne Joe's.

It was pretty empty when we went at 2:00. My breakfast was decent as was a friend's, but 2 people in our party ordered Rueben. They were awful. It was shredded pastrami, more resembled corned beef hash, hardly any sauerkraut, and one of the sandwiches was burnt. They kindly took it off our bill but said "Yeah, that's what happens when there is a shift change." Really mediocre.

Been coming here for years and it's always been great. But just ordered a burger to go and this is what we got.... Shocked and disappointed. A thin burnt burger on a burnt bun in an otherwise empty box.

Really good food and the plates are huge! The atmosphere inside is also super nice and not too loud

Great service, I always come here, however the biscuit and gravy today was gross, taste of onions not sausage. It's always a favorite of mine however today the recipe was very different. It was soupy and too oniony ( if that's even a word) the scallions on top could have been left off as well as it added to the onion taste. Hopefully next time it will be up to par.

The atmosphere is laidback and comfortable. Hours were great. (Most places are closed on Monday.) Service was great. I ordered the pork chop with Mashed Potato. Really good. The others ordered the fish & chips and the Mac and Cheese. Both were really good. Everything tastes as good as homemade. We will definitely be back.

Wasn't impressed by the rotating menu. I'm imagining Gordon Ramsay's gobsmacked face if he were to learn the menu completely changes every few months. Stick to what you know and stick to what you're good at. We got the Jamaican sampler which was not good at all. We did have a black bean burger from their base menu that was good. Drinks were good and servers were friendly and knowledgeable. Decor was fun and fit the theme of the rotating menu. Would come back, but not for the themed food.

This was such a disappointing experience. I feel like we were ripped off. My dark meat "roasted" chicken was over cooked and dry. How does that happen? It also came with flat iron grill marks!!?? Service was OK. Had to ask flag her down a few times. My wife's steak salad had stems on the spinach leaves which made it difficult to cut and eat. Her steak was dry and difficult to cut and chew as well. This restaurant was a complete bummer to our evening. I now realize why the reviews are saying there was a short wait time. It's simply not a desirable place to eat. I do not recommend this place for dinner.

If your in a hurry or expect a normal wait time, do not eat here. If you are retired or drunk, this is your place. Overall, the food is good, but the kitchen is sooo slow that it's just not worth eating here.

Great spot! Yummy food, great service and perfect for a pre-Ferry or post-Ferry meal!!

It's such a bummer to post this. We found this place when we moved to west Seattle from the NYC area 10 yrs ago. Their theme at the time was New York and it seemed like a sign. It was our go-to neighborhood spot while we lived in the area. We moved to Renton several years back but decided to come in for an early Father's Day breakfast and oof. It was not what we remembered. We arrived in the first 10 minutes of them being opened and there was already a wait -not uncommon and it's Father's Day, so ok. The host took our name and we hung out for a bit. We had 2 adults, a 6 yr old, & 3 yr old. No time was given on how long the wait would be. Several groups came in behind us and weren't acknowledged -at all- as the host came back up to seat the next groups on the wait list. One family complained and left. We waited about 15 minutes while my husband and I juggled 2 hungry and energetic kids - again, it's a holiday so ok. Once we got to our table, we received water very quickly and asked the server to help with the table which was significantly off-kilter and would spill water when jostled. She seemed annoyed to be asked and begrudgingly put a stack of napkins under the side that was off balance while I held the table. My chair also had a screw sticking out that snagged my pants. I didn't mention it. There were cups of crayons and paper at the host stand which weren't offered so my husband went up to get a cup to help entertain our kiddos while we waited. The server came to take our order while he was away from the table so I ordered for the kids. He returned and we both ordered as well. Then we waited 35 minutes for any food at all. Tables around us came and went. I had to continue taking my 3 yr old outside to walk around because he couldn't sit still for that long. At one point about midway through, the server came back to apologize for the delay but then another 15 minutes passed and I had to ask how much longer it would be. She returned shortly after with all our meals and we ate. The food was fine. I had the Birra Benedict, my husband had the Cajun Benedict, and both kids got Mickey pancakes. The pancakes were delicious. My Benedict was just ok. I remember coming specifically for the hollandaise previously and it was nothing special this time. After we finished eating, we had to flag the server down to pay and after I signed the check she came over to clear the table and said nothing as we were leaving. No "thank you" or "happy Father's Day" or "see you next time." Overall, the staff just seemed annoyed to be dealing with people and everything took forever. Food was ok, but we probably won't be back.

Such a cute little spot with awesome service! We brunched here today. While they're breakfast menu is limited, there are some tasty items on it. I had the foragers omelet with a biscuit. He had the Cajun benedict. We agreed that the crunchy potatoes were delicious - the seasoning was spot on. We both enjoyed our breakfast. He had one egg that was overcooked, and the staff made another poached egg and delivered it with some more hollandaise in a timely fashion. Next time I hope to be able to try one of their bloody marys!

The passage of time (3+ years, including pandemic) has changed this place for the worse. The menu has shrunk, the rotating decor appears to have been discontinued, and the joie de vivre, as evidenced by wait staff, has evaporated. A sandwich is just a sandwich and a pickle. Want a side? Onion rings are 3 for $3.50, a medium pile of fries (many of them 1/2-1") is $3.50. The food is still very good, mostly, as long as what you want is on the menu. But it's no longer a "crowd pleaser" as I labeled it last time. Here's hoping it comes back around.

Came in to order some to go food. Was greeted by a friendly host who told us to talk to the guy at the bar to order (older white guy). When he saw us, he gave off such a bad energy he seemed offended that we were even in his presence. I don't know how else to describe it and it was night and day with how he talked to other customers vs us. Not sure what we did wrong, maybe because we were walking around on a hot day we didn't fit the ideal customer style / type. Maybe he assumed because we were youngish we wouldn't tip (we did), but honestly will never come back because we were treated so poorly. Such sour unwelcoming attitude does not live up to the neighborhood vibe this place gives off. You should be nice to any customer regardless of you preconceived notions based on their appearance.

This is my go to breakfast place in West Seattle. I love how they switch up their decor to match their menu. Great food and great service. It's fun to see what the theme of the month will be.

Disappointed. The reviews have been very mixed recently but we thought we'd give it a try for breakfast. We got there at 9am and the hostess seated us after a short wait. It was clear they weren't staffed for all areas as there were open tables and people waiting. Cost cutting? We ordered from the large menu and then found out (after our food was served) that there's a special breakfast menu that we weren't shown. Food took over 30 minutes to arrive and was lukewarm. There were at least 6 cooks in the kitchen and no more than 10 or 15 tables. My husband's over easy eggs were over hard. His corned beef hash was a very small serving and had very little actual corned beef in it and was lukewarm. We had hot water for our tea and refills were difficult to get. My dish was also lukewarm. At some point our waitress took over as the bar tender and that impacted our service. It just felt unorganized and with a lack of "hustle" to get food to the customers on time and in the right condition. Sorry Joe. We won't be back until we hear there's a real desire to improve customer service.

Love it here! Awesome service every time we visit, staff feels like they all genuinely like each other, awesome bartender on the weekends!

Good restaurant, terrible customer service. Let me preface this review by saying my wife and I frequent this restaurant regularly, 1 to 2 times per week. It's actually a cute local neighborhood spot with decent food and good drinks. This review however is aimed to provide constructive feedback to management on the customer service I received from the manager Annette. My last experience with her demonstrated a complete lack of customer service and empathy that I wanted to share in the spirit of constructive feedback. I walked to this restaurant on a Saturday morning with my two young children (2 and 4) for breakfast. We were super excited. Unfortunately for me, and totally my fault, I left my credit card at home. When I asked Annette if they would accept a mobile payment option she said they could not. I then asked, as it was raining outside, if we could still dine and I could come back right after the meal to pay. I even offered up my iPhone as collateral. She proceeded to curtly refuse me, saying that other people had "burned that bridge." I get it, not a common request. And it was my fault. But I offered up my $1000 iPhone as collateral for a $20 breakfast. Instead she sent me walking back home with my kids, without breakfast, in the pouring rain even after I mentioned this to her. Cold as ice. I was so turned off by the experience that I called a few minutes later to express my dissatisfaction to it she gave a cursory acknowledgement. Didn't invite us back to the restaurant. Didn't get it. A total failure in customer experience. Writing a review like this is not typically my style, but what has the world come to if we can't show some trust and neighborly love to local patrons who regularly visit the establishment?

I've been to Endolyne Joe's for breakfast before so I was expecting to have a lovely lunch. Went with a friend who was a first time customer, because I wanted to show her this really cute place. We will never go there again. We ordered the Tavern salad, very easy, one with no bacon. Bacon was in both salads, and when my friend asked for hers to be returned with no bacon, it was very obvious that the back staff just brushed the bacon off the salad. My friend found several pieces on bacon on her salad. Some people cannot eat pork for religious reasons and the staff were oblivious to it. The dressing was so bland and the "grilled" chicken on the salad was burnt and dry. The waitress only had one speed and that was blind tortoise. So disappointed.

Went for breakfast food was really good!!! I don't have anything else to say about the place...go try it for yourself you won't be disappointed

Welp... It kind of feels like you're invisible here. The food was okay. Our omelet was very cold. No offers to refill coffee. They forgot our soup but still charged us for it. When paying the bill a person said no American Express but never returned to take our check. Very odd dining experience.

We've been coming here for years and usually enjoy great service, but our recent visit was truly exceptional. While the food and drinks were great as usual, it was Mark who made this experience so wonderful. We planned to just have a quick drink while waiting for the ferry (house red wine & a Pilsner draft beer). Mark, our bartender and server, went above and beyond. We ended up ordering dinner to-go for someone arriving on the boat, as it was getting close to closing time. When they arrived from the boat, Mark graciously offered us a table in the dining area since we now had a minor with us. Though we were fine with taking the food to go, he insisted it was no trouble for us to stay and take our time, even as they were finishing up their closing duties. They plated the dinner instead of a to-go box and Mark continued to take care of us in the dining room, showing remarkable kindness and attention to detail. Mark's outstanding service alone deserves a glowing review.

It has been 8 years since my last visit. I guess I am less grumpy now, so giving them 3 stars. It's their New Orleans menus which is very nice. It will be replaced by the Puerto Rico menu in July. Their radically rotating menu is a marketing trap. While it keeps their offerings fresh, it can lead to lost customers when they do not execute well. It's hard to cover a wide breadth of cuisines. They lost me for 8 years from their poor Texas BBQ menu. I'll give them another shot sooner than later. Prices are high given the quality. It cost us 60 bucks for two adult meals, one Kid's and one desert. No drinks (soda or alcohol).

Endolyne Joe's is a nice restaurant in West Seattle, near the Fauntleroy ferry dock. I've been there several times and the food is always good, but I do think the prices are kind of high. They have a private parking lot and there is also free parking on the street. We eat dinner early, so it's never busy, but I've heard there can be a long wait sometimes. The inside of the restaurant is huge and they have cool, funky decor. They have a regular menu of American comfort food plus they rotate special menus from around the world. I love the Buttermilk Fried Chicken Platter. I think they have the best fried chicken in West Seattle. The breading is flavorful, the meat is juicy, and it is cooked perfectly. It is also served with delicious mashed potatoes and gravy, brown buttered carrots, and a homemade flaky biscuit. One time I ordered the Ancho Chile Fish Tacos. Everything was deconstructed and the plate was beautiful. The food was cooked well, but I thought it was too spicy! My husband likes to order the Roasted Hot Tom Turkey Sandwich or the Smokehouse BBQ Pork Sandwich. He says both are really good. Endolyne Joe's does "Sunday Night Fried Chicken" every Sunday starting at 5 PM. They serve the Buttermilk Fried Chicken Platter "family style" and it is $17.50 per person/$8.75 for kids. It is $1.25 cheaper than the regular menu and it sounds like a fun thing to do on a Sunday night.

Dasha was our server and she was so friendly and gave us such wonderful service. She always checked on us to make sure we were enjoying our fried chicken dinners. The food was very delicious and plentiful....we definitely had leftovers which was great! When Dasha found out it was my birthday, she surprised us with a vanilla sundae with chocolate sauce...delicious dessert! Thank you Dasha for your great service and we thoroughly enjoyed our dinner at your restaurant!!! We will definitely recommend it to our friends!

We *really* wanted to like this place, we live nearby. We gave it the good college try; three times! The food is terrible, the service slow, the interior design is a mess, and then they charge you a fortune for your bad time! Learn from our mistake and steer clear!

Great breakfast. Big portions and everything cooked just right. Pretty decent biscuit also.

I loved this place, The Louisiana spicy chicken was so juicy, tender and flavorful. The mac and cheese was creamy, rich and well seasoned.

Amazing place for a team meeting Great food. The salmon egg Benedict is very creamy but the best part is the red potatoes on the plate. Tasty so yummy
