The Alpine Diner and Bar

My partner and I have been here two times and both times the service and the food was phenomenal! Depending when you go (we went both times at 11:30 on a Saturday) there is little to no wait times and the food is amazing! We always get the biscuits and gravy (comfort meal) and we love it! We were in a rush and we were in and out in 20 minutes! Great place.

I want to rate it higher but charging a fee, that is 100% retained by the company, just to be here is a shitty business practice. I've enjoyed eating here as but I doubt we will return again. The food was good. The service was fine. The environment is cute and clean.

I came here on the recommendation of a friend. The located in the White Center, and you can park on the street where the restaurant is located, but the number is limited. The interior of the restaurant has a retro feel, with counter bars and booths. The server felt very good. My husband and I chose zucchini pasto pasta from the monthly specials menu and added avocado to the BLT. Zucchini Pesto Pasta is Sautéed zucchini noodles mixed with pesto and creole spiced prawns. Prawns has a strong taste, so if you eat it with zucchini pasta, it will taste just right. Adding avocados to BLT sandwiches was the right decision. It is open from 7 am to 10 pm here, and served breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Happy Hour is available daily from 2 to 5 pm. We want to come for breakfast next time.

I had the vegan burrito (pic 1) and my friend had the breakfast burrito (pic 2). They were enjoyable, and quick service both times I've been here. I asked for the veggie sausage on the side and they stuck it in the burrito. They would've probably redone it had I pushed for it, but I didn't want it wasted. I'll be back, but I'm going to ask for more veggies. Tapatio and Tabasco for hot sauces. Diner, Pizza place, and bar all in one. The time prior I had the vegan hash, it was fine. I think I'd ask for it to be plated with a bed of raw spinach (if they do that) next time. Also some regular salsa. Quick and friendly service! Vegan options! Other photos posted are the veggie BLT on rye bread, with a side salad. If you're looking for a meal, and good company, you'll probably get it here

This comes across as a really sweet original diner. They serve breakfast and other food. I had the burger. It was delicious. I also asked for gluten-free. They succeeded. What I didn't know was they were also connected to a nice pizza place where you could buy by the slice and you could also go back to the gaming room where they have skeet ball as well as an old fashioned pinball machine. They're happy hour for food is very inexpensive and the service is friendly. I will be back.

Serious breakfast food at great prices. Full bar, nice servers. 10/10 I will eat here next time I am close to it.

The minute we walked in the server was annoyed that we had a party of seven, when there were literally only 3 other people in the restaurant. He had to push two tables together. I kindly asked if he needed help, he gruffly says no, don’t touch them! We probably should have left right then and there. Right out of the gate his sour mood put a whole damper on the experience. We sit down and we order drinks, 3 people in my party wanted coffee, he says oh well then I have to make whole new pot of coffee, like it was a HUGE inconvenience for him. Food was ok, but will not return due to the terrible service. On top of it they automatically included a 20% tip, due to our party size. Definitely did not deserve a 20% tip let alone even 5%. I would highly recommend letting your customers make the decision on how much to tip. Such service is not deserving of 20%. Very disappointed with this level of service, will not be coming back and will let all my friends and family know as well.

So happy this place opened in White Center. We've been able to enjoy breakfast and dinner, both were great. Great small diner feel both in decor and service. For breakfast I enjoyed pancakes, eggs and sausage and my husband got the classic benedict. Both were fantastic and the coffee kept coming throughout. For dinner I got their chop salad with a side of onion rings and my husband got the quesadilla. Delicious and I just loved the onion rings. The drinks were great, too. Will be coming back for more for sure. There is a pizza place attached that looks great - definitely going to check that out soon. Awesome!

Came at 9:15 for breakfast. They didn't have a server and the gentleman that "greeted me" said, "we're not open because we don't have a server and that door should be locked" He then suggested i should have seen the sign and known they were still closed. When I asked which sign he pointed to an unlit "open" sign.... just super dumb.

Ran into this place...looked inside and said...why not. It's a small food spot with a descent amount of seating inside. I ordered a Pancake Combo. Pancakes were kinda dry....bacon was good....one of sausage links weren't cooked all the way. I will say the cook seemed to be talking a lot on the phone and it's not a good look when my food comes out bad. I'll try out this place again and give it another chance in the future.

A friend and I were attending an event close by and wanted to grab a bite to eat. We saw the Alpine and decided we'd give it a try. We walked in and the hostess/server said she had a booth in the bar. Super quiet up front, but the bar was popping in the back. Our beers came quickly and soon placed our order. My friend loved her cheeseburger and raved about it later as well. My fish and chips were good, and a nice sized serving. Our server was helpful and had great timing when checking back with us, with a smile and good personality! The only odd thing was a children's birthday party in the very back and had some very young children lurking next to our table for a bit. We agreed we'd both come back again!

Maybe this is the old Noble Barton space??? I had bookmarked this spot to try the next time I trekked to White Center. We walked in to the smallish dining area and grabbed an open booth since there wasn't any sort of sign or host stand. After awhile I asked my friend if maybe we entered the wrong door since no one had acknowledged our presence at all. As I went to scope out the rest of the place, a server brought over a couple of menus. I was either going to blurt out French Dip but then saw the cheesesteak. Score for the kitchen that keeps the onions separate from the green peppers! Second plus that they had Coke products. Good sandwich and a tiny bit drippy - batter-type fries piping hot. Nice space with a good size bar, skee ball in the back, outdoor area and Big Mario's through another opening. Restrooms seem to be a free for all and I'm not sure how I feel about that. The pla We lucked out and found a parking space across the street.

Great food, good selection, friendly staff, cool place. Highly recommend. I got the Rueben with house salad and a Hefeweizen. Better than most places.

Best French Dip and their Pot Roast is to die for. The Alpine is always our go to place in White Center. You can also play Ski Ball here.

I've only had the Fried Chicken Dinner at Alpine and that was enough to earn five stars. It's a crispy fry with the perfect amount of batter. It's well seasoned, not spicy, but one of the better fried chickens in the Seattle area. The mashed potatoes are from real potatoes, so that's a nice touch and the veggies seem to be fresh. You also can't beat the value of $16.99 given prices for Seattle. There's a front diner, bar half way through and a lounge in the back with some skeeball.

We hosted a birthday party in the game room and had a great experience. From my first call to inquire about a group reservation through the event, everyone was so friendly and a pleasure to work with. Thanks to Dray for setting us up, and Colby who handled our group that night was awesome! Food and drink was perfect - wide variety of food options for everyone (especially the GF folks that don't do pizza). THANK YOU for a super fun time!

Small space (with big ceilings) decorated to look like an old school ski lodge - they do a good job of creating a fun atmosphere from the second you walk in. We went on a Monday early evening and it was half-full - guessing on a more traditional breakfast time it was or will be hopping. There isn't any space to wait for a table inside so if you're going make sure to dress appropriately to wait outside. Food is classic diner food done well. I got the club sandwich with fries which was very satisfying - great proportion of bread to other ingredients and a huge pile of crispy fries. My dining companion got pancakes and eggs and bacon which looked appropriately fluffy and crispy in the right ways. Service was fast and friendly and we got the check right away. Another fun thing about this place is you can order from Big Mario's pizza and you can order a from a full bar - not usual features of a diner. Excited to come back!

Hidden Gratuity! My husband ordered the biscuits ang gravy, it's his go too dish to see how good a place does breakfast. He was pretty disappointed because they didn't season their gravy, the item lacked any flavor and salt. My breakfast was the eggs benedict and it was fine enough. I enjoyed it. I atmosphere was cute and I liked the homey vibe. What ruined our experience was the hidden gratuity on the bill. My husband is a strong believer in tipping but tips go to the server or split with the back staff. Gratuity is goes to the business and it was already part of a bill for only 2 people. And I don't remember reading an signs or on the menu about that hidden fee. We paid it and left - but wont be returning.

Love this new spot. The menu at both Alpine and Big Mario's is fantastic. Love that you can order from either regardless if you sit on either side or the bar. Don't skip the fried cheese curds. Their fried chicken is incredible. Pizza is fantastic. We haven't tried anything that wasn't incredible. The slices come out so good with that crispy chewy crust.

I've ordered 3 times from them on UberEATS. Each of the dishes were absolutely fantastic. GET THE CHEESE CURDS. For some reason, they never include the OJ that I order but oh well, food is worth it.

I love Alpine. They have a perfect eggs Benedict and the ambience is great. The front diner section is super cute and well done and they have a cozier space in the back as well. Alpine is my husband and my staple neighborhood diner.

The food was just not good. The hash browns had a nasty aftertaste. The prices are competitive. I would not order from this place again.

My sister and I came here for lunch and ordered the vegan wings for her, and I got the Philly cheesesteak with mushrooms, fries and a root beer float. I originally ordered a mango drink (can't recall the name) but our server told me after she took our order that they were out of mango, which was ok because I got the root beer float instead. However, when our food arrived, my Philly cheesesteak was a good size and fries were plentiful. The filling of my cheesesteak was tasty and you pay extra for mushrooms, which was worth it to me. However, my sister's vegan wings were very expensive for what she got, which she was disappointed. There was only one server for the small restaurant which majority was about 75% full. What was also disappointing was I overheard party behind me saying something was off about their breakfast and was pretty disgruntled. I don't know what their order was but they were pretty vocal so it was hard not to hear them. The inside itself was very cute, PNW themed and Big Mario's pizza is connected to The Alpine. All in all it wasn't a terrible experience, but for the price and the portion of the vegan wings, we will not be returning.

A friend and I went to the Alpine Diner & Bar on a weekday for an early lunch. The diner is decorated to look like a ski chalet and is clean. I ordered the Rueben sandwich with fries. The only thing is I wished they didn't heat up the corned beef so much. Other than that it was delicious. My friend ordered the french dip and salad. She said her french dip was good but didn't enjoy the salad. She said the lettuce was a little on the wilted side. Our server was Sunche (I think that was his name). He said his name is a combination of his dad and mom's names. He was very attentive. He was always coming over to check on us and refilling our drinks. There is street parking but it's back in parking only. I would definitely come here again.

Glad I found this place so convenient close to where I live. Their rosemary potatoes are AMAZING! Love their aesthetic and the great vibe the staff has. This place is great for hanging out after work with their bar area and games in the next room thru the main dining area. Check it out and support the small businesses in white center.

Tried to call an order in since the item was not on the online menu but in their websites menu. Someone picked up but put me on hold for 5mins. Decided to call back and the phone was off the hook for 30mins after my initial call. The person who answered my call never returned to the phone to hang up. Service-0 Will update when I get sone food another day.

The foods good. The music from the kitchen was annoying as fuck. ESP with the canned music playing in the cafe. I told the waiter, can we listen to one or the other and not the house music competing with the doufass in the kitchen? The cook was playing Mexican music, face timing his grand daughter of 5 or 6, and the soft rock playing overhead, was all pretty annoying. I like the food, but I told the waiter I won't be back!

The food was great and this is such a cute spot, but the standout star was our waiter, Augie! Such a sweetheart and made our day! We will be back SPECIFICALLY to visit Augie!

Happy to see someone take over this location, previously closed due to arson. Significant menu and nice ambiance on both the diner and pizza bar side. There's a back room and back patio also. I went for breakfast as I saw they had eggs benedict. I've had this dish over 100 times from San Diego to Wash DC, New Orleans to Denver. Sadly this was probably the most bland hollandaise sauce I've ever had. I asked if the hash browns were home made and was told yes, but I had my doubts. Service was fine. Price in line with other restaurants. I'll try again for a different meal but I left half the plate uneaten with no interest to bring it home for my spouse or leftovers.

First time here, went in for lunch, we're the only customers. Had their regular burger which was good and the accompanied salad was very good. My wife said her reuben sandwich was among the best she ever had, and she's from Philly! Can order beer and cocktails from the attached bar which is Mario's Pizza. Will definitely come back.

Very nice place, good food, good prices and friendly staff only 4 stars to leave a little room for improvement lol

Love this place, the staff, the atmosphere is eclectic, relaxed and homey. The food had been great. I've had breakfast, and also lunch. Fries are crunchy and perfect. Shannon was our waitress who was so personable and made our experience a lot of fun. I recommend this place for just good food and relaxed experience.

My go to bar. Always have a good time here. Drinks are a fuzz on the high side (price wise), but I guess everywhere is expensive.

We were greeted when we walked in and told to sit wherever we liked. The booth we chose still had crumbs on it. We were quickly brought water but weren't asked if we would like any other drinks. My husband ordered the chicken fried steak and said it was flavorless and the bottle of hot sauce didn't help. My husband always finishes his food and then mine too and he only ate one bite of the steak. The place is decorated cutely but that's not enough for us to come back.

I really want to love this place. I've been wanting a spot like this nearby for awhile. I live in the neighborhood and would honestly be there once a week, but it's just really fallen short on the service side. Both times we have come in they have been fairly busy but not overwhelmed and the service has been pretty lacking for what is a pretty small space. It seems like they have only had one server and occasionally a manger or someone from the back will come out to help. Both times I've sat for 10 minutes or so with no service while other folks seem to be attended to and the lone server seems occupied doing other things or just kind of confused about which tables to attend to. The servers have never seemed to be slacking or not working, just kind of chaotic and confused. Ideally if I visit a diner for breakfast and order coffee, I'd like to have my coffee as soon as possible so I can get a cup or two before I'm done. It's a four dollar mug of coffee. Both times I've gotten coffee after my food came (after a 15 minute wait just to get drinks) while watching other folks get their's right away. And we weren't offered a refill either time. It's a diner at breakfast, kind of seems like getting folks their coffee should be first and foremost on the list but we just sat there and watched the server do other things before we eventually waved someone down. This is a four star review if we just got coffee on time and didn't have to ask both times. But basic stuff like that really makes me think twice about a place. The food is good to great. Exactly what I wanted it to be and would be a 4.5 star review on its own. But both visits so far have just really failed on the service side. Hopefully this is all just growing pains. We will try to come back in the future, but we left feeling pretty ambivalent

This is such a cute place to have comfort food right in the middle of white center. Service is always really nice and my friend is obsessed with the pot roast. The food is good, there is skeeball and pinball in back and as a bonus, SweetPea from Luna park is working here!

WONDERFUL!! The Chicken Fried Steak is homemade and tasty, smothered in sausage gravy!! So good! Great service and the food came out quickly. Definitely what White Center needs. This IS now my breakfast, lunch, & dinner family diner. I will definitely be returning. The decor is warm and inviting. I can't wait to eat my way through the menu.

gave 3 stars for amazing service.. female server very friendly and welcoming... would have given 5 stars if food was better, sandwiches that were ordered were not great, actually will never order again.. .. please be aware they charge extra service charge 5% when giving tip.. i gave 25% tip bumping it to a 30% tip.. i know restaurants are having a tough time with food costs as well as labor cost in the city.. but i still like to walk away saying great food..

Was excited to try this place and sadly can't recommend it after our mediocre experience. First the good: love the way they decorated it, it's clean and cozy. The rest not so good. We asked the waitress for coffee and waited and waited and saw that she was just sitting at the bar and when we went up and nicely asked where our coffee was, we saw she was on social media. Didn't offer a refill during the whole meal. She was nice enough, but it was obvious it was just a job to her. I had a breakfast sandwich, which was OK, but kinda dry. My daughter liked her eggs Benedict but the $2 for a side of rosemary potatoes was dry & laughable w/3 small & forlorn potatoes

Vibe is great, decorated cute, but rest was lacking. Diner food was mediocre - under seasoned and greasy. Service was inconsistent and unfriendly (example, table that sat down after us was greeted and had their order taken first, long time to get menus after sitting down, no one came back to ask if we wanted a second beverage during the meal). Lastly - SUPER loud inside during brunch, not a deal breaker but good to know when considering ambiance. Will prob stick to coming by for drinks and pizza when in the neighb vs making it our new weekend brunch spot.

Nice servers. Sad portions for a $17.00 breakfast. Huevos rancheros were cold. No coffee refills offered. I'll try it again because it's got a nice vibe and it's close to home.

Excellent service-attached same ownership is Big Mario's pizza not yet on yelp officially! Coolest bar in the back with the friendliest staff! Pizza by the slice and keg of green peach tea with Jamieson!! Alex bartender gives one the feeling of family and creates a fun and professional party environment!

White center is no stranger to good food. There are so many good restaurants and Alpine Dinner is one of them. I've come here 5 times since opening and everytime I get something new and am always impressed. The restaurant is friendly with allergies and even open with adding things to certain dishes. Alpine dinner never disappoints.

Management finally got back to me and refunded us for the salad. We appreciate the service, we will be back.

I've been there now four times. Each time the food was excellent! My only suggestion would be to just make straight ahead mashed potatos. Maybe with chives, but whatever they did, the potatoes were gummy and the gravy, what little there was of it was a bit to spicey. I will go there again though. The Rueben sandwich was very tasty and the fried chicken was flavorful and nice and crispy.

Great food, service, and people! Love the old ski/snow decor. I'm so happy to have a diner in White Center with awesome breakfast!

First visit to this restaurant and it was lackluster at best. Here's why: 1. poor service to start with as we waited longer than we should have to order food while the bar keep/server yucked it up with 2 patrons at the bar top. We were the only other table in that area so he had plenty of bandwidth to handle us both. Gotta learn to be aware of your guests who are waiting for you, and time your visitation accordingly. 2. Food was bland and non interesting. French Toast was soggy and wet in the middle, only ate the crusts. BLT was fine but bread in both items seems to be low end as it doesn't have flavor. 3. When asked if our food was good, we both responded that it was so-so... and this is the best part - the server said, "Well, it's diner food." THAT should be concerning to management as that is a large part of the reason your place is lackluster - when your staff has such low expectations what do you expect your guests to have? 4. We paid a $38 bill with a $100 and they couldn't make change except with $5's!! That is laziness as we know they have more cash on the premises - go retrieve it for your guests! Overall, we don't recommend. I gave it 2 stars for the nice greeting upon entry and then the interesting pizza area of the business which smelled pretty good when we left. Do better!

truly had no idea how amazing this place was from the outside. we thought it was a small little diner (which is awesome!) but it had even MORE! my s/o ordered everything and the menu is perfect for kids and picky adults. they have a lot going on inside(pizza shop, bar, diner and game room) so the service will be slow but its only because they are doing everything, so just be prepared to sit and ENJOY!

Great breakfast. Clean quarters. Nice servers. Great drinks. Recommend. Breakfast served all day. Go check them out.

A great new addition to White Center. I've been there for breakfast 4 times now. Their Hollandaise is one of the best. I prefer their hashbrowns over their whole potatoes. They are still working out some of the kinks. I rated it at 4 stars instead of 5 due to the lack of heat (you will need a jacket-this was before the cold spell) and the french toast was nice on the outside but was soggy in the middle. I'm sure they will figure all this out.

We went there last Sunday and it was packed in front. Was told there were more seats in back. Didn't know there was a bar. Was glad about that, had to wait up at the bar for a bit to get a booth. Didn't like they they show movies and then people take the booth up to watch it, ahhhh hello go home and watch a movie. Get up so someone can sit down. They weren't playing the football games which we didnt like. And totally hated all the kids tramping though. No. Keep the kids out of the bar. The bar is nice and cozy, but no kids. So I got the eggs and chorizo chilaquilas. It looked great and the eggs were good, but they put the crunchy tortillas underneath with all this sauce that was supposed to be chorizo. My daughter said it tasted like spaghetti sauce, which it really did. Just all this red sauce and like ground meat. I mean seriously you have all these Mexican stores down the street. At least you could go down there and buy some real chorizo. Or better yet learn how to make it. Because that definitely was not it. So I pretty much paid $15 or whatever it was for 2 eggs. Yes very, very disappointing. Very disappointing.

If you're a serious 'foodie' like me, this is not the place for you. If you're partying late at night in White Center and need to grab a bite then definitely check it out. The three servers I encountered were all great. The whole vibe is really nice, warm and comfortable. A welcome addition to the neighborhood. The food, on the other hand, is just mediocre. The problems I had were all fixable....mostly. Don't forget the cheese on the nachos, make sure there is plenty of gravy on the pot roast (mashed potato's were great btw). Breakfast included two of my favorites, huevos rancheros and corned beef hash. Both disappointed, but to make matters worse, they were served room temperature. The poached eggs were perfection! The corned beef comes with rye toast, I got excited, until they came out with that big dumb Texas style marble toast. Not a caroway seed to be found. I was hoping for some real rye toast ya know? (Okay, I'm a snob, shut up) I desperately wanted to love this place. I came three different times. Hopefully they will get some integrity in the kitchen and start cooking with love.
