Lindsey SJune 26, 2016Hidden gem at the market w/ amazing views! That's the best reason to eat here - nothing is "amazing" but the seafood is fresh, fairly tasty and affordable compared to other seafood spots around!
Shannon PerezApril 22, 2013The French toast and hash browns are yummy to my tummy! also, it is so nice and quiet in the market in the early morning...if you are a native go then to avoid the massive crowds.
CraigJanuary 10, 2015Order at the 1st floor counter and find a spot on the 3rd floor. The breakfast sandwich might just be the best deal if you are hungry! Crab omelet ain't bad either
Morgan PankratzSeptember 27, 2016Wow wow wow! Best fish tacos I have EVER had. Long wait in line, but worth it. View of the sound as we ate was unbeatable. This is a must if you're in Seattle. Yum!!!
Esquire: You want an omelet stuff with Dungeness crab—you’re in a fish market, after all—and maybe also a Hangtown Fry with eggs and bacon and fresh oysters all scrambled together
Luis Javier RoblesMarch 13, 2015Clam chowder all fish and crab, cocktails and awesome view! This is a very nice place to hace lunch!
Connie ChiuDecember 6, 2019Beautiful view on the third floor. Loved the Dungeness crab cakes. Didn’t love the calamari sticks, too thick and not crispy.
Alexa Jane BrooksDecember 28, 2014Some of the best crab cakes I've ever had. No fillers! Also, get the clam chowder. Best I've ever had. Ever.
Pearl LozanoJune 4, 2016This place is amazing!!!! I'm not big on season but it's fresh and very well prepared. Even came back a 2nd time it was so good!
SydneyApril 28, 2017The second floor gets you waitstaff and a great view of the bay and the ferris wheel. The Clam Chowder is absolutely excellent.
cheryl berklichJune 7, 20142nd floor. Views spectacular on a sunny day. Classic Breakfast just enough,servd quickly w/amile. If I were you, I wld want the service 2b slow so u can linger over the view!
Greg MilaniOctober 4, 2014At Lowell's you have a great view to the sea, with quality drinks and sandwiches. Try the salmon burger it was very tasty!
fabian roosensMay 17, 2013Order your food downstairs and then head for the third floor for magnificent view over Puget Sound. The fish and chips was adequate. Wine can be ordered from the bar on the second floor.
Clarissa McDanielOctober 2, 2016Great view and service. Had a turkey sandwich which was huge. Could have easily shared it.
- Don NunnFebruary 25, 2015Excellent weekend breakfast spot. The house spirits make fantastic cocktails.
Jessica SandstromMay 10, 2014Smoked salmon bloody mary, crab eggs benedict and clam chowder... yummm. Sit on the 3rd floor on a clear day, gorgeous views!
Garry LathamNovember 23, 2014The combo breakfast was amazing. Try the eggs, pancakes and sausage. Cooked perfectly.
Jack ReevesSeptember 27, 2014It is a must to sit upstairs. Great views. Put your order in downstairs at the counter and they'll deliver it to you.
Daniel SimmonsFebruary 2, 2019Easy lunch, no need to fuss over the second floor table service. Place an order downstairs and go find a seat with a view.
Frank PazderaApril 18, 2015The blackened fish tacos are amazing! Don't forget to get a side cup of their clam chowder as well!
Marta DevisJuly 9, 2016Wow! Seattle special amazing and clam chowder incredible! You can share one dish
KelliDecember 5, 2018Interesting selection of "breakfast cocktails" and gorgeous views of water and ferris wheel
Best place in Seattle for breakfast with a view and excellent old school house music
Luis AntezanaAugust 25, 2013If you ask to hold a table while the rest of your party orders in line they'll say you can't until you've got a red order number. Then someone else will sit without a number anyway, so just do that.
Nick GeorgeJuly 23, 2021Good fish and chips, if you want a good hangover cure with deep fried everything.
Breakfast ends at 11 and try the salmon eggs Benedict. If you want sit down service go to the 2nd floor.
Miguel de LeonMarch 15, 2013"Almost classy" is the best description. Grab a seat upstairs after ordering at the counter below. Great views of the waterfront.
Debbie PackerJune 27, 2015The sausage patties here are exceptional! Great view while you're eating, too.
Chris TaggeJuly 30, 2012Don't mess with downstairs "order / pay and we bring it to you". Pass everyone by and go upstarts to the bar or seating. Oh... And breakfast ends at 11:00am!!
Seattle Happy HourMarch 25, 2012LOWELL’S #hh Monday - Friday 4 – 6pm, smoked salmon croquettes & ale steamed clams w/ grilled herb crostini http://www.eatatlowells.com/menu/happy-hour/
Christian MoodyMarch 4, 2014They make a good Moscow mule, which they call the market mule. Good chowder too.
Laura McKennaOctober 1, 2013The sourdough breakfast sandwich was very good! Big portions and good quality.
Christine ShepherdApril 6, 2013Fresh seafood and great views. Used to new england chowder, so this chowder didn't stand a chance.- Tasty food, friendly staff and great views from the windows.
- A cup of clam chowder and prawn cocktail is the best lunch.
- Luis AntezanaAugust 25, 2013Fish tacos are substantial and fresh but they have zero seasoning. Unfortunately the salsa is not good at all so you can't fix it yourself. The least bit of attention to this dish would make it a win.
Jennifer EvansNovember 18, 2015Waited over an hour for our food and service was slow. Ultimately decent food and the views are great. Had the crab benedict with sauce on the side which wasn't very warm when it arrived.
