S. ZornJanuary 28, 2015One of my favorite diner experiences in Seattle that includes a nice drink selection. I usually get the Philly with a salad. Some great breakfast options too.
Corin LianidesNovember 29, 2015Great spot for breakfast with kids - super accommodating and friendly. Try the kids blueberry pancakes and adult corned beef hash!
Great atmosphere! Good food, friendly service. Came here opening weekend and there was a long wait on food. Seems like they worked the kinks out now. Jalapeño Poppers are the shit, beeteedubs.
Solid diner feels, great sassy/sweet staff, open literally all the time. Best diner on the hill! Can’t go wrong... unless you show up at 3am and expect the food to be perfect, KAREN
100% worth the wait. Writing this tip on the 4th day of service. Takes quite a bit for your food to come but the prices are great. Super yummy and great location. Soon to become a Seattle icon!
Yazz AtlasNovember 10, 2016Being 24/7 your experiences at 2am will vary compared to 7am. I trying to get in for the morning at least once a week. Toni and the other staff are awesome!
Nate YancyFebruary 4, 2017Good French Dip Sandwich, perfect for a rainy day with a mound of tots, love that the Cafe has cheap Tall Boys & crazy good priced Happy Hour. Cool vibe- JeffMay 22, 2013Great comfort food! Hopefully theyll have enuf pride to keep the place clean. I recommend it, sevice was good. Now the RUSH is over, its easy to get in and plenty of seats. I
i already love this place. the food is really good, there's lots of beer on tap, the prices are right & the staff is super friendly. hello?! FRIENDLY! i'll be here often.
Garann MeansOctober 22, 2014Brunch is much better when you can have it at any hour of any day. Being able to watch all the World Cup games *while* eating brunch was friggin tremendous.- Ashley CooperAugust 3, 2017NOLA bowl, pancake breakfast, French toast....so many good choices! Awesome place with friendly staff and great vintage aesthetic.
Such good mimosas, bartenders are really awesome and food is basic dive bar food, but they have half sizes which is good if you don’t have a large appetite.
With all the new junk popping up on the Hill, this is one of the few places that feels like old-Seattle. And the first real 24hr joint on Capitol Hill in 11 years.
Shawn DeinesJanuary 26, 2018Northwest Scramble is a salty herby treat, highly recommended. Great diner vibe with a cool design.
The graveyard crew here are totally rad... Come study,work or just chill and kick it with them and eat great food! Another reason why Seattle rules all!
Jake MayellSeptember 15, 2017Great vibe and awesome food selection. The veggie Reuben is awesome as are the Lost Lake (bloody) Mary's.
Didn't expect the brass monkey to be good, but was pleasantly surprised. Open on holidays this is one of the places I like to have brunch *any* day.
Susan StricklandNovember 4, 2015I enjoyed the huge bloody Mary cocktail and giant mimosa. And almost all menu items can be made vegetarian.
Vicky LeeDecember 16, 2014You can't go wrong with the El Capitan Omelette. Bacon, goat cheese, red pepper, and onion. Need I say more?
Food is surprisingly good. A little dodgy between 3-6a, but, hey, they're open. Weekday breakfast happy hour from 6-9a is a great deal.
The country fried steak is huge, you'll definitely need to loosen up your belt another slot after eating it. Had great service, and love the atmosphere.
The bar rail has a cushion. These are the best kinds of rails.
Saqqara JonesMay 31, 2013Be patient it's new abd they may be a tad bit all over the where, it is just a pretty damn cool place to be at and equally tasty!
DillonSeptember 11, 2015Awesome spot, great food, awesome drinks, friendly staff, and trivia on Mondays!
DavidMay 25, 2013Great catfish breakfast, amazing bloody mary and the best happy hour on Capitol Hill. $2.50 Cheeseburger and fries. Bam!
Jennifer GAugust 12, 2013Be sure to check out the bathrooms-- styled like Twin Peaks' Red Room from the Black Lodge.
First Call (6am) at the Lost Lake is a great time to get a drink and a meal with minimal wait.
Khoa HuynhJune 17, 2013I'm a fan of the fried chicken. Crispy and not oily. Don't forget the mash taters.- Josh EhlkeJanuary 24, 2015Amazing pie and fried chicken. Get the chicken fried steak and share with a friend.
Brian KatoSeptember 15, 2016Literally one if the only places open after 2am on a weekday. Great late night food.
Love all the veggie options! And much cleaner and charming than the 5 Point Cafe. Score!
Good food, nice staff, and an unfortunate insistence upon storing beer kegs in the supposedly wheelchair accessible restrooms. WTF?
Ashley RoseJanuary 6, 2019Meh. Dinghy diner with your standard fare, bar attached has a long draft list. Non happy hour prices aren’t cheap ($15 for a wrap)
Really good cheese burger and fries at a really good price during happy hour.
Andres de VivancoAugust 22, 2013Open 24 hours a day. Great place to hang out and have some good and drinks.
Carl TydingcoJuly 22, 2015The driest hamburger that I've ever eaten. Skip the over priced burger and just get an order of crispy tater tots
Yas AbJune 24, 2016Good place to come and eat if you're jet lagged since it's open 24 hours. Nothing exceptional, just good simple food.
If you like strange things showing up on your plate that looks like a chicken foot than DEFINITELY get something fried.
Eric ChapterAugust 9, 2013The "Lost" in the name is in reference to your order being Lost for an hour or two between placing and devouring it.
