Randy’s Restaurant

I started coming here for breakfast when I lived in Seattle. It was and still is one of my favorite places to grab coffee and breakfast.
The service is good and attentive. The restaurant itself is a flashback to the 70s and has a ton of awesome aviator décor.
I miss this place so much and will be coming back when I visit Seattle again.

Gone here several times. It’s a good old truckers style eatery. Sure I could use some reinvestment back into the establishment. But you get that original 1980s feeling when you’re inside. The food is really good there is plenty of parking in the back so you can get in and out without a problem.

Where do I begin? The dish I got was pretty basic. Eggs, hash browns, toast, and a hamburger patty. Nothing special there. Anything I pretty much can make myself. I ate half of my meal. Dipping it into sauces and gravy so it had flavor. I took the rest of it home and fed the other half of the burger patty to the doggie. So this was my dilemma. I was charged for hot water. In my 15 years being in the restaurant industry I’ve never once charged anyone or been charged for hot water. After reviewing my bill my friend said to her may I ask why. The server said that because the water had to be heated it had to be charged for. Meh what ever. First time for anything. Anyways prior to the water incident she was quite condescending to the cook due to a miscommunication they had with a food order. But thats not the kicker. When she came back with the credit card slip she had to make a point to tell me that the charge for hot water was in the menu in fine print. I just felt as if it was a little catty and unnecessary, and as we were leaving my friend said she was discussing our bill with another guest. I heard him say well, that’s gonna be a cheap one. I don’t know if he said that toward the diner or toward us, but either or It made me feel uncomfortable. Mind you there were six people in that place. Two of them being the cook and the server. I probably won’t go back again. Which is probably fine for both parties. I didn’t over tip like I normally do. For this occasion. I still gave her %17. Not one to throw race out there, but I’m wondering if me being Asian and my friend being Mexican had anything to do with it. Payce out Randy’s won’t be missed!

It’s a history lesson served up with two eggs over easy and a hot cup-​a-​joe. Walk through the door here and step back into the 1950’s, when jets were a neat new idea, victory in WW2 was a not-​so-​distant memory, the space race was ON, and the future was bright.
The service is generally excellent, but mind your manners– this place harkens back to a time when that sort of thing was expected. If you are a foul-​mouthed jerk, you will be treated like a foul-​mouthed jerk. And the food is good if you stick to sandwiches, burgers and breakfast, and steer away from salads, and ANYthing with gravy on it. Trust me.
But let’s face it– the food isn’t really the reason to come here. Come here to get a sense of the pride and history of Seattle’s aviation history. Come here to see the amazing models and photos and memorabilia. It’s AWESOME, truly, to anyone that cares about history and loves the mid-​century style that shaped the modern era.

Nothing fancy except the décor. It’s a Seattle landmark.
Standard deli food. Don’t go there to be excited for the food.
Exceptional waiter: Ray.
Wow. What a gentleman and a professional.
Thanks for a great meal and service.

Great food had clam chowder soup with chicken salad sandwich and brother had Randy’s omelet and hash browns and told everything was delicious simple food very good enjoyed it great service

We had a great lunch there, chock full of flying and war memorabilia of all sorts, airplanes, phrase books etc etc, very interesting. Very pleasant staff. Recommended

Awesome food. Great atmosphere, funny staff! The French Toast was amazing along with biscuits and gravy and some to die for hash browns!

If you actually like hospital/​jail quality food, this is the spot. Sure it’s quirky, yeah is open all the time. That doesn’t make up for the meals.
Worst coffee.
Worst chicken fried steak
The condiment bar at the gas station offers better fare.

The absolute worst customer service experience that I’ve encountered. For starter’s, upon entry of the restaurant the waitress aimlessly stared at my friend and I who had both never gone to this restaurant, so I asked the waitress if we are to see ourselves and she aggressively stormed towards the seating area stating to follow her, strike 1. Once she set us in the far back at the smallest table and walked away my friend and I looked at each other and agreed to move to a larger more comfortable table shortly after she came storming to the table she initially set us at telling us that we had better moved back to our table, so I asked why we couldn’t sit at our new table and the waitress stated she was the only worker and did not have time to walk to our table or clean multiple tables and that the table was too big for two people anyway, strike 2. After going back to our initial table and getting our drink orders I asked for hot water and the waitress rolled her eyes at me stating that they would charge me for hot water, & I smiled and said ok so again she stormed off, strike 4. By this time I told the waitress that I understood she had a long day but she needed to be mindful that we were customers and that its very unprofessional to be rude, she didn’t take that so well. Finally after 30 minutes of waiting for two chicken salads, there was hair in my food strike 5!!! I’m over this place. NEVER AGAIN!

A diner in which you go back in time. We decided to try this place because our family loves to try new local breakfast diners. It’s very nostalgic. However it’s ripped seats, black with grease and dirt ceiling tiles and dust coming from the vents makes you scared for your life. The service is very good and fast however. The waffle, and biscuits tasted like baking soda and that is all. My kids barely touched their breakfast saying it was gross. This makes me sad because I have a soft spot for places like this but alas. We will frequent the place a few miles south from now on.

Stopped in for lunch while training at Group Health. It’s a great quirky little place that I found while searching for something to eat in my break. Fast service friendly people worn there and I was even given a copy of the Constitution to take home. Really cute and definitely out of the 50s :)

Really cool atmosphere with lots of WWII memorabilia. The place needs some work and a thorough cleaning, I was a little scared of how the kitchen might look since the dining room appears to be in need of a serious scrubbing to say the least. We ate breakfast there and it was so bad that we couldn’t even eat it. It was the equivalent of a cheap microwavable meal. NOT WORTH $ 10! Everything was prepackaged, bland and not fit for human consumption. I feel really bad for the waitress. She was the only person working the floor and she was running! I will not be returning nor do I want anyone else to eat there ever! I hope the owner reads this and makes some changes, this place was so good years ago and now it’s worse than Denny’s.

What a cool diner! Open 24 hours and decorated to the nines with model airplanes and aircraft memorabilia. I don’t know how long they’ve been around, but the building looks old (in a good way)!
Service. Waitress was natural and a bit sassy, which I don’t mind. I don’t expect my customer service employees to be robots, I like when they are human. That being said, she was a bit flaky; brought me hot sauce and then took it away before I used it, forgot our chocolate milk and my bf’s toast. No biggie, though.
Food. Hashbrowns were great! Blueberry waffle. Ok, the blueberries were strange; didn’t really have flavor and I wasn’t sure if they were fresh or frozen and they weren’t cooked into the waffle batter. I hate when they just throw em on top. :/​Syrup was yum and nicely heated up. I tried his bacon and it was good; not greasy, but flavorful. Chocolate milk was the stirred in kind, not the processed kind (yuck).

Greasy spoon with tons of aviation/​military paraphernalia and knick knack on display. Service speedy. Pay at the counter on your way out. Had the fried chicken newly cooked. crispy skin with hot moist meat inside. came with soup or salad. kid had the spaghetti and meatballs which he wiped clean off his plate

Great, chill diner. The service was excellent and it felt like I was in a Dennys as a kid, before I got all snobby about eating at Dennys.

My 4 star rating is based on comparing this place to other diners. People who are leaving 2 or 3 star reviews just because it’s an «old, run down diner» aren’t grasping the concept of how that’s exactly what this is.
I wouldn’t necessarily say it’s run-​down, but it certainly has a very vintage feel too it as soon as you pull into the parking lot. I came here on a whim with a teammate after finishing baseball practice nearby and searching for places to eat on his smart phone. I actually found the interior to be very calm. I’m 24 and most other customers were older folks, though I have a personal preference for a quiet, low-​key place for brunch, so it worked out great.
The airplane memorabilia and decorations inside are pretty neat. I ended up ordering a Belgian waffle, which was $ 5.55 (it’s a little extra to have strawberries on top) and two sausage links, which were $ 1.20 a piece. Let’s face it; this is diner food, so it’s not going to be anything to write home about. You go in, satisfy your hunger, and continue on with your day, which is exactly what I did.
I was a little bummed at spending $ 2.40 on sausage links that were VERY small and were brought to me on a plate of their own, which made the presentation even worse. They weren’t hot, but tasted okay. I would recommend avoiding side items. The sandwiches, burgers, waffles, pancakes, and every main dish on menu was reasonably priced. If I go back for breakfast, next time I’ll probably order two waffles without the strawberries and no side items. Just drinking water and accounting for tip, that would be a pretty decent, filling breakfast for about $ 11.00.

This is a run-​down greasy spoon diner that opened up 30 years ago and probably hasn’t been updated since in terms of décor (and menu). Even though ceiling tiles are missing and falling off and the booths are tattered and worn, the place is clean and has a lot of interesting and unique aviation-​related memorabilia scattered throughout, which is worth a few points.
The food is just ok, but expect your sides to be like frozen fries and canned peaches. Sandwiches are a safe bet.
Prices are cheap and service was friendly and prompt and that’s what makes it better than the Wings Café. Also, wi-​fi.

TL;DR: Timewarp to the early 80s.

It’s a cool place for my daughter to see all the airplane stuff… food is meh. Like a Dennys type of thing. My daughter loved her spaghetti. My Belgian waffle was dry. Eggs and bacon were good. Coffee was horrible. Glad I had my own in my tumbler. After this, off to the Museum of Flight… again (being a member has it’s perks, I guess).
Not the first time here, won’t be the last. Service was good. Old pops kind of guy. Friendly, attentive. Forget his name tho.

BF and I were starving after leaving The Museum of Flight down the street, and wanted to give this place a try since we love diners.
You can tell it’s been there forever, and it seemed like a lot of the patrons were regulars. Interesting décor, which fits the flight theme in the area, but what really stood out were the pink and orange booths. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen that combination before, but it works there.
I got a ham and cheese omelette, with a biscuit, and BF got a burger and chocolate shake. We were both happy with the food and great service from our waitress. This place may not be for everyone, but we enjoyed every minute!
