Huckleberry Square

The food at Huckleberry Square was absolutely delicious — fresh, flavorful, and generously portioned. Everything we ordered exceeded expectations, and I would definitely return just for the food alone. The atmosphere was cozy, welcoming, and a great place to enjoy a meal with friends or family. Unfortunately, the service did not match the quality of the food or ambiance. Our waiter was short with us and had a bit of an attitude, which made the experience feel uncomfortable at times. The service overall felt rushed and inattentive. With improved customer service, this restaurant would easily be a five-star spot. I truly hope to see improvement because the food and setting deserve it.

The food is really good, tasty comfort food. Portions here are huge! I ordered a light meal but still ended up with leftovers. The diner has a nice, chill vibe with that cozy, hometown feel. The server was super friendly and checked in often to make sure everything was good. Great spot for friends or family. I’ll definitely come back!

Best brunch ! We had Chilaquiles and breakfast burritos ate them way too fast I didn’t even think of taking photos it was too delicious! Photo is of the cinnamon roll

First time in Washington and chose to stop by for breakfast. It was so good I went back the next day! Great food overall and amazing service. The staff is very attentive. We tried their classic platter and the meat lovers omelette and it was so good. I had their toast with their homemade jam which was also really good. I recommend trying their huckleberry pancake. Would definitely come back again if I’m ever back in WA.

We had a delicious breakfast at Huckleberry this morning. Lots of menu choices, plenty of free parking and very clean restaurant and ladies room. Plus, they have a nice variety of huckleberry products for purchase: I bought the candy, dark chocolate and even huckleberry lotion.

This is our favorite breakfast spot when we’re in town! Great service. Coffee cups stay full. Large portions and great food. Nothing bad has ever come to our table. I also love the board up front that allows you to buy a meal for someone in need. It’s also a lot of fun to browse the old HS year books while you wait.

The perfect spot for a relaxed Saturday morning! The food was great, exactly what you want from a breakfast spot and our was server was super sweet. Quick service and sat under 10 minutes on a weekend morning. Super excited they had cheesy grits! Will definitely be coming back!

I went to Huckleberry for breakfast and overall it was an okay experience. The food was decent, nothing bad, but it also didn’t really stand out or impress me. It was more on the average side for my taste. I ordered a cold brew coffee, and unfortunately it was extremely sweet. It was much sweeter than I expected, to the point where I had to ask for more coffee to balance it out. After that it was more drinkable, but initially it was a bit too much for my preference. That said, the service was very good. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was taken care of, which I really appreciated. While the food and drinks weren’t exactly what I was hoping for, the good service definitely helped the overall experience.

Packed on Thanksgiving for lunch, but still promptly seated for three. I love that they had Thanksgiving specials as well as the regular menu. I was seated before the rest of my party, which was very convenient. My server still checked on me as I waited. I ordered the chicken fried steak and it was moist and savory as usual. Great place! Always recommend for that hometown diner-style meal.

This place has such a homey, PNW diner vibes! It's huge with great indoor and window sweating. Highly recommend anything huckleberry and the service is quick. Omelette was amazing and the sausage was to die for!

Wanted some pie for take out. Had apple, coconut cream and pumpkin cheesecake Never before had all 3 of my family refuse to finish any dessert This was especially gross and $22

This is one of our go to breakfast spots as a family. They have a huge variety of options, plenty of seating, and the service is always surprisingly fast. It's very family-friendly -- there are lots of high chairs available, a small kids' activity coloring page, and a solid kids' menu. My 18-month-old loves coming here. It can get busy on weekends, but we usually get seated pretty quickly. Overall, a reliable, comfortable place for an easy breakfast with kids.

I grew up coming here with my family. We have been coming here for 20+ years, the place still looks the same. Food is always tasty with fast and friendly service. A true diner treasure in the heart of Burien.

One of my go-to breakfast places. Their Chicken Fried Steak is amazing. The gravy is flavorful and the steak is cooked perfectly. They are excellent on eggs and hash browns and their huckleberry pancakes are divine. My wife loves the breakfast buritto with chorizo. The portions are very big and though there is usually a wait, they get you in quick. It is a very large restraurant. Service is always fantastic, and they strike a nice balance of getting your good quickly but not feeling like you are rushed when eating. I have only ever eaten there for breakfast so I'm not sure how their lunches and dinners are, but if breakfast is any indication, you'll be in good hands.

I saw this place going to Seahurst Park and I was like what is that place? It stood out. Classic old school diner. They have so many good options that its hard to choose but you can't go wrong with anything. Staff is very friendly, its a simple place, and they play classic songs. This place really is a piece of history.

Despite the rush of Sunday brunch, the quality of the food and superb customer service at Huckleberry Square did not waver. We waited for only about 10 minutes for a table for 4. The restaurant definitely had that "diner" feel to it, with booth seating throughout. The menu is expansive, so there is sure to be an option for everyone. Our party was so happy with the food that we ordered, which included pancakes, hashbrowns, an omelette, and more. The main highlight was the chicken and biscuits (MUST TRY!). The only negative thing about our visit was that the waffle was too hard, as if it were overcooked. Our waitress was kind and attentive. She provided updates on the progress of out meal and checked in with us frequently. They were also on top of refilling our cups of coffee without us having to ask. We were met with kindness throughout our visit to Huckleberry Square. I also love how they have a "Giving Wall" where you can buy a meal for someone in need. It's clear that this restaurant hires only the best employees and cares about giving back to the community. I will certainly come back (with friends/family) to try the rest of the menu!!!

The food is really good, tasty comfort food. Portions here are huge! I ordered a light meal but still ended up with leftovers. The diner has a nice, chill vibe with that cozy, hometown feel. The server was super friendly and checked in often to make sure everything was good. Great spot for friends or family. I'll definitely come back!

This is your standard cafe. Most food wasn't memorable but I would suggest steering away from Liver dish. Was raised in that old time dish but this one falls flat.

My golly! Some of their menu items aren't that great. Hot turkey sandwich with gravy, cranberry sauce, and on a big piece of Texas toast? Well, why is the turkey ALWAYS dry as the proverbial bone? That's disappointing. The turkey dinner is the same. However! Tonight, a friend treated me to a dinner here for my birthday (last Wednesday). I got the 10? 12 ounce Sirloin steak with green beans and a loaded baked potato. This is not something I can have very often because I have cirrhosis and my liver just won't put up with a lot of fat. But, this was so worth it! The potato was crispy on the outside and flaky and delicious on the inside. I ordered it loaded, except for sour cream and it was exactly what I needed. The steak was cooked medium-well and was juicy and flavorful. I brought some home for later. I don't know what the cook did to those fresh green beans but they were so good! I love green beans, anyway, but they are easy to screw up if you're not careful. Now, I'm craving a big container of them! LOL. The huckleberry cheesecake is a marvel! The "slab" is huge and in between writing this, I take little bites and savor the berries and slight lemony taste. I'm coming back here in a few months to order this again! Yes, I do actually have to wait several months before I can eat something like this amazing dinner. I can still get a waffle, too. Their Belgian waffles are thick! And Huckleberry Square has all sorts of delectable syrups. I like the boysenberry.

I go here at least once a week. And the only reason I'm not giving it 5 starts is because of Jeff. I honestly wish I can just walk out the door whenever i realize he's my server. Today was a Sunday and I can acknowledge that it busy so I was patient. When he finally came to our table after waiting for over 15 minutes he doesn't even greet us. He just pushes to take our order. Food comes out 20 minutes later cold. Ran by the busser or expo. Not even him. Then Jeff comes back 20 minutes later with a check. Doesn't even ask if we need refills or if the food was okay. It's just poor service stopping at our table 2 times. If his job makes him unhappy then he should find something else to do instead of ruining customers experience. I will still return but if you get Jeff as a server expect less than the bare minimum.

Do not understand the hype. The vibe? Perfect Northwest diner vibe. The food? Was.... Edible? We had breakfast. It was...fine I guess. We were all a bit underwhelmed given the reviews. The service was competent but not friendly. Maybe she was having a bad day, IDK. Anyway. We probably won't go back, and that's a shame, because I wanted to love this place.

Food was mediocre, biscuit very dry, bacon partially not cooked. Issue was my wife asked for cheese on her scrambled eggs. When the food was brought they had maybe a tablespoon of shedded cheese on them. When we got the bill there was a line showing scrambled with cheese, $2.99. I pointed out to the server her breakfast came with eggs why was this now separate and why $2.99 for just cheese? He said THATS the charge for cheese. That is absolutely ridiculous to charge that much for the very little she got. He was no help at all. In addition they charged $5.25 for one soft drink, another ridiculous price. I felt like we totally wasted our money. My wife and I eat out every day and this just was not worth the money. Kevin Mgrdichian (816) 213-9511

First visit with my family . The service and food was great ! Bonus , yummy cinnamon roll ! It may be somewhat outdated, but it's a family owned restaurant that has been around for many years . We will be back ! Parking can be tight

My friends took me here for breakfast before they dropped me at the train station and I really enjoyed it. I got the custard French toast and it was so delicious! It wasn't dry or chewy and it had the perfect amount of fruit and custard. We went on a Sunday morning so they were very busy, but we only had to wait about 20 minutes to get a table for four. The waitress who served us was very friendly and attentive, but the person who did our drinks seemed like she was having a bad day as she was less friendly.

They have the driest cinnamon rolls that I have ever tasted in my life and I had to toss it into the garbage. Mac and cheese So that was negative but the positive is that the Huckleberry liquorice and Huckleberry syrup is super good and delicious.

This a good diner type brunch spot in Burien. It appeared to be a local fave, as there was quite the crowd and a 20 min wait on a late morning Saturday. We were seated within the timeframe they quoted, and got a cozy table for two. Most of the tables were helped pretty quickly, ours was the exception. When we did get service, we jumped on ordering drinks & our breakfast. We love a good bloody mary, and this one really packed a good punch. Great flavor, pretty strong, not super crisp pickled veggies, but it worked. I would definately recommend the bloody mary. I ordered the Fractured Vegetarian Omelet. It was hearty, served with a pretty large portion of hashbrowns. It was good, nothing remarkable, but after the one-drink-buzz bloody mary, I just needed to get some food in me. I'd recommend this restaurant for a casual breakfast, if you're wanting standard breakfast fare. I did not try the huckleberry pancakes, so I'll have to come back. I can imagine that they're a favorite!

Great service, even for group of 11, well recommended. Portion are support lots of food. Would eat here again.

All delicious food! The service was good and it felt very diner-y if that's what you're looking for! A little pricey but pretty standard for modern cost. Best monte Cristobal ever had!

Such a charming diner! I was looking for a good breakfast spot closer to the airport than Seattle and this was perfect! The huckleberry scone was wonderful and the cinnamon roll was HUGE! I will definitely be back!

After years of indulging at this Burien institution, I finally surrendered to their pièce de résistance: the huckleberry cinnamon roll. Imagine a confection so divine it could make a lumberjack weep--a warm, gooey spiral of cinnamon bliss, crowned berry cream frosting and wild mountain huckleberries baked in. Not stopping there, I ventured into custard French toast drenched in huckleberry syrup, accompanied by eggs and bacon so perfectly thick and crisp you'd swear it was engineered in a lab. The ambiance? Think cozy diner meets Pacific Northwest charm, where the servers greet you like a long-lost friend and the coffee flows as freely as Seattle's rain. It's the kind of place where time slows, calories don't count, and huckleberries reign supreme.

Great place to dine, had to wait for about 15/20 mins on a weekend morning for brunch. Good vegetarian options, fast service and amazing food.

Huckleberry Square is my go-to for breakfast, though I haven't tried their lunch or dinner offerings. The service can be slow, especially during busy mornings, with orders often taking a while to hit the table. Despite the wait, the breakfast dishes like their pancakes, omelets, and chicken fried steak are always spot-on. If you're after a solid breakfast and don't mind a leisurely pace, Huckleberry Square delivers

Excellent service!!! Benedict eggs great!!!! Burger wwoowww!!! Great place for breakfast and lunch

Huckleberry Square is a great neighborhood brunch place for great American-style breakfast foods. On a Sunday morning at 11, we waited about 20 minutes for our table, not bad for a brunch Sunday day. Expect long wait times though as it is a popular place. The food came after about 20 minutes of ordering and was so worth the wait. Super filling and salty, perfect for a Sunday morning! The coffee was great and the server came by to refill it frequently so it was always tasting hot and fresh. I always love the cozy feeling of the place and the local photos and art on the walls. Always a go to for breakfast.

This is our family's go to spot! Everyone is so friendly and the food is delicious. My picky eater can always find something yummy to eat.

Clean, server brought out a flight of syrups the Huckleberry was my favorite. Will go back the next time I'm in town

Been here twice in the past month and really enjoy their breakfast! Staff are friendly and great! Food is always fresh, hot and delicious. I love that they have oat milk for me to put in my coffee! A lot of restaurants don't have this option!! I came by myself the first time and this last time I brought my family that flew in from California. It was about a 30 min wait on a Saturday but worth the wait. All of our food is was delicious. They waitress made sure to check on us constantly and refill our coffees. The pancakes are huge too so all you need is 1. Or Two if you are sharing a meal. One of my new favorite spots now. This is definitely a spot that I would tell friends and family about.

Amazing local restaurant, they have a wall where people can purchase meals in advance or donate meals to those in need. A worthy business and deserving our support. We came here after a walk around Seahurst park and we ordered the huckleberry mountain burger, ribeye steak, taco salad bowl, huckleberry pie, huckleberry mimosa and float, all good food! The place was very busy but service was prompt, our server is very nice and made sure we had everything we needed. A dog friendly restaurant too!

We love huckleberry square. It's the best diner in the area. The staff are always so friendly and make you feel like you're at home. My wife and I have taken our father and grandfather here when they visited and they both enjoyed it as well since it has a pretty large menu. My dad in particular is a very meat and potatoes type of guy and he loved the hot turkey sandwich. Everyone agrees the portions are big here too! Whenever we get a craving for breakfast food we go here.

(Lunch review) Delicious! Service was fast and friendly Mozz sticks were good but the sauce with them??? Absolute star Chicken Cesar wrap with potato salad was also really good. Lemonades were so tasty- not too sweet :) Can't wait to try breakfast

Been there many times. Always good, good service and great breakfast food. My wife's breakfast burrito was big enough for 2 but she ate it anyway. I got biscuits and gravy with a side of fried eggs and sausage. I really did not need the eggs and sausage and I can't figure out how hash browns is a good nutritional match with biscuits and gravy. Coffee is a bit expensive at $4.25 but refilled frequently. Wait staff knows what they are doing and mostly long time employees. Decor is well worn. Parking is always tight.

I've loved this relic place for years. And, though becoming almost crazy expensive, if you stick to the basics (burgers, sandwiches, and the Saturday prime rib special), all has remained good. I thought until I unfortunately ventured and ordered a very expensive but delicious sounding new item on the menu, "fresh wild caught Coho salmon and shrimp Louie". I decided I'd splurge and treat myself to something special. Once it arrived, I could barely find any salmon in the very basic bowl of lettuce (my first thought was they'd forgotten it!). I did discover there were a few tiny bits of it very sparsely sprinkled in. So technically, yes, there was salmon in it ? The shrimp in it was limp, cold, previously frozen and tasteless. Total after tax for that: $37! Never. Never again. Better off at Arnie's or Salty's. I gave 2 stars instead of 1 only due to nostalgia over what it once was ..

Came here with a group of friends on a Monday night, mostly on the recommendation of it being a favorite by someone in the group. I don't know if we got extremely unlucky but the experience as a whole was forgetful. After being seated it took roughly 15 minutes for a waitress to come over and take our order. She kept walking by our table - and we must've heard "I'll come back for you guys right after this," - several times as we proceeded to get passed up for other customers. It was clear they were understaffed and that she was the only person taking orders. Even asking for condiments took a long time. We asked for tapatio, and after 10 minutes got hot sauce but it was Cholula. When we got our food, one person got the wrong order. They ordered meatloaf with corn and were given pot roast with beans. We mentioned it and they brought a fresh plate out with meatloaf - but it still had beans. We cut our losses and accepted it. I personally got the philly cheese steak with onions, jalapenos and provolone. It was pretty tasty and the fries were good also. I got the huckleberry shake as well. It as ok - IMO the flavors were too subtle. Maybe I'll give this another shot in a few months. I won't be going out of my way to try it again though.

Amazing pie!! Holy moly! It was amazing we made it a thing on our checklist for huckleberry pie in Washington. And very very few places carried homemade pies and this place was a rare one that had the most amazing pies. Delicious and not too sweet perfectly balanced. You could tell it was homemade not bought.

Everything here is good. It has become one of our regular Saturday breakfast spots we tried to go to the one that Yelp recommended up on Rainier Avenue but there were 40 people outside in line so we went to our regular spot. The food is good chicken fried steak awesome I forgot to take pictures today, but I will next time the hashbrowns are cooked perfectly. I had that hamburger steak hashbrowns, and an English muffin. The service is good and it's extremely consistent. you won't regret a visit to huckleberry.

I have been wanting to come to Huckleberry Square for dinner for some some time, after a server once explained the process of the prep for the prime rib that is featured on Saturday nights. I finally made it last night, and I will stick to possibly having breakfast at Huckleberry. I want to state that the exterior holiday lights are gorgeous. Then it went downhill from there. Upon entering, the hostess wanted to seat me in a section at a small table, that is half booth and half seat. I wanted some room to spread out to read, and I asked for the booth by the window. She hesitated, and had to check to see if it okay. I'm sorry...there were 7 open booths in the area I asked for. Not sure what the challenge was. The busser was quick with my water, but it took forever for my server Dorothy to come to the table. I heard her tell another table that she was busy in the office? Really? I would think the customer and your tables are your priority. And I don't need to be called "honey" as I heard it at least three times. I wanted a cocktail before my dinner, and I saw a White Russian was mentioned on the table tent. I ordered it and it was fun, as it has been several years since I have had one. But why is it served with a LONG soda straw? The salad before meal was basic. Iceberg and shredded carrots. I ordered a 12 oz. cut of prime rib, green beans and fries. My plate was delivered after a long wait, and it had a baked potato instead of the fries. Oh well, I went ahead and just ate it. The green beans were inedible, and the prime rib had zero flavor. The horseradish sauce made it tolerable. (also, why would you place a sauce container on top of the prime rib??) Again, I may come back for breakfast, but there are many choices and I don't think this was worth a 25 minute drive. As it is well-stated, "you get what you pay for". Yes, the prime rib dinner and cocktail were inexpensive, but I will pay more for quality the next time.

My husband and I were looking for a place for breakfast before flying home from a week in Seattle. We didn't want to go back into the city and when looking for somewhere near the airport, Huckleberry Square popped up near the top of my search. We pulled in to the parking lot before the restaurant opened and were pleased to see other cars already waiting to enter. We knew it had to be a good sign- and we were right! It was the perfect, cozy, diner-like experience we love to see in breakfast locations. Hot coffee was provided as soon as we were seated, and I also tried their huckleberry mimosa. Delicious! The food was served quickly and was amazing as well. The Florentine Omelette is something I usually wouldn't consider, but I decided to give it a try and I'm SO glad I did. Hashbrowns were perfectly crispy. Large portions, large selection of both sweet and savory breakfast options, and excellent service. Don't pass this place up! Such a sweet, cozy spot to start the day. (No pictures because I ate all my food!)

Got the French toast with a side of eggs and sausage while my friend got the omelette and hash browns. All the food was so good! Big portion sizes too, I'm always really full leaving. Attentive service, they came by really often to refill our coffee. I love their syrups for their French toast, waffles and pancakes! They have four different flavors, maple, pecan, huckleberry or Marion berry. It can get really busy during breakfast/brunch times and there is a bit of a wait.

Love this spot! Everything about it is perfect. The BLT is my go to! They are also open Christmas Day.

Breakfast before departing Washington for home. Sad to be going, glad to be getting non-airport food. Had a good breakfast with family. Coffee was a plenty; food was good but much like any other diner. Parking was in the adjacent lot but can be a bit tight. Had a typical breakfast of eggs, bacon and toast. SO had chicken fried steak with accompaniments. Its breakfast.

A local diner that has been around forever! Staff here are very attentive and very thorough. Food is always delicious and served served quickly after ordering. A lot to choose from when it comes to breakfast lunch or dinner whatever whatever floats your boat and suits your fancy! Bonus - Option to round up your ticket and have the opportunity to donate to Burien Care's animal rescue is a huge win!

HS I was a little reluctant on trying Huckleberry Square after reading some of the reviews. However, I did give it a try. I was pleasantly surprised. I ordered the salmon scramble with capers cream cheese and onions. I had asked for diced tomatoes to be added and they were sprinkled on top. Flavor was really good and there was plenty of delicious salmon. Hash browns were nicely crispy. Even the toast with the Marionberry jelly was very tasty. Service was friendly and fast and very much appreciated before a very busy day! Overall a very good experience.

Not worth the hype. Ordered Coffee and Huckleberry chicken sandwich for myself. Coffee was stale and chicken was in large chucks making it hard to enjoy the cream cheese/Huckleberry sauce combo. Service was Ok nothing above and beyond wanting to come back again

Great place for breakfast/brunch. Reasonable prices and very generous portions. Eggs prepared as ordered and solid hash brown game.

My father lives in Burien, so this is go to for a hearty meal. They have a small parking lot with plenty of parking. It's a family style restaurant offering breakfast thru diner. The portions are big. The food is good. I've ordered both breakfast and lunch this week and my family was very satisfied. The staff is well organized and friendly. When I visited there was a short wait but it went quickly.

I ordered sandwiches in Huckleberry, I found hair at huckleberry compote. Food need to be no hair.

We loved the atmosphere when we walked in very family friendly ! We were quickly seated and our server was very attentive. We were always asked if we needed water since we were quite thirsty. Positive : Food came out quickly, everything was well made , nothing was cold or out of place . Kids meal was a soft bun which was a good idea since when it's toasted the kids have a hard time Eating it ! My omelette was very well cooked And the portion size was exceptional My husband ordered a burger which he noted that it was succulent, well put together and tasted great . Fresh ingredients. Appetizer: Thai chicken they were LARGE ! Crunchy crispy and yummy . Service : quick , efficient, helpful and kind Negative : I really wanted to dry the hot honey fried chicken but they were "out and had been out for months ?" That was very confusing since my husband ordered wings and they weren't out of that . The whole Caesar was interesting since it had tomatoes and mix of butter lettuce and romaine ... so I was kind of confused . Overall : family friendly environment ! They sell huckleberry products at the front . Everyone was very kind and the food was yummy since we were a hungry family of five with three kids under 4 . Thank you for a good experience!
