Best Burgers in Seattle - By's Burgers

My favorite burger spot in Seattle that only a few people know about is By's Burgers. The burgers are amazing, so juicy, and flavorful. They also serve home made french fries, and milk shakes. The only reason I think this place isn't as packed as Dick's is because of location. Dick's burgers in my opinion are overrated. There are so many things to look forward to at By's like the home made french fries and shakes. Definitely check it out!

Ivar's Acres of Clams Best Happy Hour in Seattle

I frequent Ivar's Acres of Clams often due to their exceptional happy hour. Happy hour times are Monday-Thursday 3:00 - 7:00 PM and Friday 3:00 PM - Close. Closing time on Friday is 11:00 PM making Ivar's one of the most generous happy hour spots in Seattle. At the Ivar's Happy hour one can get a full meal for only $4.00 - $5.00. My favorite combination is the blackened salmon Caesar salad and a pint of beer. Beer is only $4.00 per pint during happy hour. It's not just a little piece a salmon, it's a huge chunk of the most delicious fresh fish. The best part of Ivar's has got to be the location, once you're meal is finished you can either walk to Pioneer Square or drive a few blocks continuing your evening out in Belltown. All in all Ivar's Acres of Clams is my favorite Friday night happy hour location!

The Matador (West Seattle) Review

The Matador (West Seattle):

4546 California Ave. S.W.
Seattle, WA 98116

Phone: 206-932-9988

My Rating: 4 out of 5 stars ****

Great atmosphere for dinner and some drinks. The restaurant is dark and moody. The food is very good. One point of contention is for dinner it takes forever to be seated. Whenever I go to The Matador I have to wait at least 15 minutes to get a table. Once seated the service, food, and atmosphere are top notch. Prices for the entrees are slightly above average, if you want to save some money be sure to check out the The Matador's happy hour from 4 to 6 p.m. and 10 p.m. to 1 a.m.

Cactus The Best Mexican/Southwest on Alki?

Cactus on Alki:

2820 Alki Avenue SW, Seattle, 98116

Phone: 206.933.6000

My Rating: 4 1/2 out of 5 ****1/2

I've now eaten at Alki's newest Mexican/Southwest restaurant twice and have to say it's beyond delicious, it's amazing. The service is excellent and the food is even better. I'd recommend going to the Cactus Happy Hour. The Mojitos are excellent. Also try the Cactus house made guacamole. It can get very crowded around dinner so I'd definitely make reservations first.

El Camino in Fremont Restaurant Review

I went to El Camino in Fremont last Saturday with a group of friends. El Camino was crowded so we ended up sitting in the last remaining table in the bar. As we ate more people shuffled to the bar for drinks until it was standing room only. Even the outside deck was packed to capacity. Two reasons why El Camino was so crowded that weekend was because there was a Huskies game that just ended, and everyone’s favorite event called Fremont’s Oktoberfest was winding down as well. If that wasn’t enough everyone was in a partying mode because the Seahawks were playing the Giants the next day. I ordered the Carne Asada Tacos that came with beans and rice. Even though the Mexican restaurant was crowed our food was served in less than a half an hour. I took the first bite and it tasted gourmet compared with most Mexican restaurants. The steak had a great subtle marinated flavor and the tacos were loaded with several varieties of cheese. The flavor was unlike any other Mexican restaurant I’ve been to. I was surprised in a very good way with the unusual flavors, presentation, and quality of ingredients. Due to the medium as opposed to extra large portion sizes I had room in my stomach for a Dos XX Beer. I didn’t feel completely stuffed at the end of the meal. The beans and rice where also delicious, nothing too special about the recipe, pretty much a standard take on these dishes. El Camino was a great Mexican restaurant that I will go back to. I’d try to make reservations first so you don’t end up sitting in the bar; it can get a little hectic in there on the weekends. There was this one waitress working there that I swear never stopped moving in the 2 hours that we were sitting down, she definitely needs a raise! Even though the waiters and waitresses are overworked the service was top notch.

Northlake Tavern and Pizza House Review

I went to the Northlake Tavern and Pizza House yesterday and from what I've read it's the best pizza anywhere. So I came into the whole ordeal with high expectations. The wait time on the pizza was about 30 minutes. When the pepperoni pizza was served I was first struck on how heavy it was. The pizza was loaded with tons of pepperoni and cheese. The pepperoni at the Northlake Tavern and Pizza House is more like sliced sausage than the thin sliced pepperoni you're used to at chain pizza houses. It tastes spicy and delicious. The crust is thick yet flaky. I love their pizza, but I wouldn't say it's the best I've ever had. I'd give the pizza an 8.5 on the taste scale and a 10 on the portions scale. I'll definitely be back there some ordering one of their supreme pizzas. I'm all about toppings when it comes to pizzas. Chicago style all the way!

Energy Drinks Reviewed, XTZ Kosmic Kola and SOBE NO FEAR

I like energy drinks so I had to give my two cents into this blog entry. My all time favorite energy drink is called XTC Kosmic Kola and as far as I know it's only sold locally here in Seattle WA at QFC stores. Lucky for you they have a web site where you can order the product. Visit www.xtz.com for product and ordering information. The Komic Kola has a very unique taste. The thing that I like about the XTZ Company is that they are a local company only using quality ingredients; the Kola isn't artificial like national brands. This is why some who try the Kola are put off by its distinct flavor. Another nationally available favorite drink is called SOBE NO FEAR energy drink. It tastes a lot like the other energy drinks on the market, but it packs a good energy kick.
