Passing thru town and halfway between Seattle and home, Arlington seemed like the perfect place for a midday meal. We chose the Blue Bird Cafe and Diner because it was established in 1958 and seemed like a homespun, original kind of cafe. A place that's been around that long has to be great, right?Unfortunately, not right. Whatever laurels this restaurant had at one time, it's resting on them, or trying to. It's possible that the same loyal customers come back week in, week out, as they have for decades, so the restaurant isn't incentivized to improve for the sake of attracting new customers. Either way, our food reflected relatively low standards. We shared, or planned to (we left it uneaten) a sludgy, heavy bowl of chili that tasted straight out of the can, pasty and just beans, no meat. We also shared a French dip. The sandwich part was fine but the dipping jus was super diluted and had almost no flavor. Service was fast and friendly, but we can't recommend the restaurant.

We had a great breakfast at Patty's on a Saturday morning. My wife had two eggs over easy with hash browns and wheat toast. I had a Banger (sausage) and two pieces of sourdough toast. Everything was excellent. My toast was done to perfection and buttered just right. The prices are very reasonable and we thoroughly enjoyed our morning meal at Patty's. The staff was friendly and courteous. Excellent food, no surcharge and friendly staff. What more could you want?

For more than 65 years Denny's has been bringing people together over great food. It's the place where people can relax and be themselves; where they can enjoy classic American comfort food and everyday value. 24 hours a day. 365 days a year. Here, you ca

This Dennys has been in the area a long time but more recently under new ownership. The remodel "new look" is fine. It's not as "warm" and inviting as before but it's still a nice remodel. We have gone in on a couple different occasions and service has been good, staff super friendly, however the other night my husband, myself and two friends went in late after a Mariners game. So around 11pm. The kitchen had music blaring over the restaurant music. At one point the "hostess" (maybe she was the night time manager I don't know) was yelling back at the kitchen staff when they changed her loud obnoxious 90's music to a different genre of music and turned the volume down. Our meals were great! Whoever was delivering checks mixed our check up with another table across the restaurant, they didn't notice and paid our ticket. So our ticket couldn't be split between us correctly because it wasn't even ours. The hostess said "you saved a few cents by getting the wrong receipt" How professional of her! (Not really) when we went to pay, the hostess was sitting at a booth with her back to the register and had no idea we were even waiting to pay. With the loud music playing I don't know how anyone could think straight. When she finally noticed us, no apology for the wait, no sense of "making sure the customer was satisfied". It was a very disappointing experience. There is a saying, "when the cats away, the mice will play" that's exactly what's going on at night here.
