  23. Awesome time in Seattle, thanks!
    The cute little Hawaiian bartender food server that was laughing and joking with everyone and the window table while we ate their awesome halibut & chips. Great selection of drinks, this is a gem of a place. Reminds me of old Barnaby's overlooking the water in Sausalito in the 70's. Real place with fresh food. Except for the drunk clowns that wandered into the bathroom and started talking about s...

  24. Thank you, breakfast rocked!
    Good times. great food and super casual attitude and atmosphere. Great view of ships going to port, funky way of getting your breakfast on, climbing flights of stairs, but pretty hilarious. It works, we liked everything we had. We'll be back for fish & chips, give the other meals a try. Good show guys.

  25. incredible salmon tacos!
    these guys get more right then wrong. fun people with a zany operation on 3 floors but it is real! the salmon tacos were as good as they get, but I've never come across salmon tacos before. these guys seem to want and make better then tourist food under the harshest of circumstances. small kitchen and stairs to run to crowds on 3 different floors but it works. we had excellent fish & chips, the s...

  26. Expensive
    The french toast is amazing and the views are wonderful but if going with more than a few people I wouldn't recommend it. Not only is it one of the more expensive places to eat at the market but I was there with a large group and felt rushed. We ended up rushing the last person through their breakfast to give it to the other hovering customers.

  27. Seriously 6.95 for a side salad???
    When questioning the staff about the price for a small dinner salad I was told "it is what it is." Nice!! The fried shrimp was freash except for the burnt breading on it and the fries were regular old frozen type. So, $13.00 for that and $7.00 for the salad. The tables too are close together. PLUS , as for hygiene the staff never was seen washing thier hands or the tables. I guess they t...

  28. Great food and service!
    Being from a city of great seafood, I was impressed by the quality of the seafood and the smart service given to our party of 8. Food came cooked properly and hot..Not easy to do at the busiest time of the day to a large party of people.

  29. If you want to eat at a casual, non-fancy place actually in the Pike Place Market, then Lowell's might be for you.
    It's been in business over 50 years and is still going strong. There are different rooms with different (relative) ambiance and options. They call themselves "almost classy" which is a stretch, but it is a kick and the food is perfect for what it is. You can order on floor one and either eat there, or on the third floor which is a nicer spot. They bring the food up to you and it doesn't take l...

  30. unforgettable
    If you want to enjoy the quintessential breakfast experience, and are a stranger to Seattle, I cannot think of a better place than Lowell's. We stumbled on this place early our first morning while checking out the market and were greeted by really friendly staff, a comprehensive menu, and the best views you could ask for. Needing to enjoy the Seattle experience, I ordered the Dungeness crab ome...

  31. Expensive!
    Lowell's is right on the Harbor so expect to pay more for the view. We thought the food was pretty good, but it's hard to pay that much for 4 people to eat.

  33. Outstanding View - Good Food - Prize Find Place
    Yes, this place takes a little energy, but it's worth it for the experience. Order off the menu on the first floor, get your drinks on the first floor and hike up to the third floor for a breath taking expensive view at a quite reasonable price. Food is very good and fresh (duh... you are at the Pike Place Market), wait staff is friendly and prompt, cook is interested in you getting exactly wha...

  34. Almost Classy (As Lowell Says)
    Lowell's Restaurant & Bar is THE place to have breakfast at the Pike Place Market. You order at the counter, get your won sivlerware and Tulleys coffee, then find a place to sit. The view of Elliot Bay is outstanding and so is the food. Lowell's Hang Town Scramble with market fresh oysters simply can't be beat! Breakfast dishes range from $10 to $15, and its worth every bite.

  35. Best breakfast in town!
    It was my first time visiting Seattle and we found Lowell's when walking thru Pike Street. We got the Farmer's Breakfast and the famous Eggs Benedict topped with crab. The farmer's breakfast is the same as any breakfast joint but the eggs benedict with crab was phenomenal! We sat on the 3rd floor where it's self-seating (2nd is table service). The view of the water is great being on any of the...

  36. Need to try at least once
    Since we have only lived in Seattle for 8 months we are still exploring the many places to eat. My in-laws were in town so we decided to explore the Pikes place market area. One of the shop owner suggested we try the Lowell's. I was a bt hesitate at first just because I thought it was just another tourist restaurant rather than some place locals would go to. To my surprise the food was very good...

  38. Seattle waterfront must see
    Ask to be seated at a window table second floor bar area. The views will make you fall in love with Seattle. I was fascinated with the ferries docking, undocking, coming, going. Ferries are an essential part of the Seattle water world. Lowell's is the perfect vantage point for a relaxed stop when in the market area. Good food, good drinks, GREAT views.

  39. Service problem
    We are locals and regulars of the market. This was not our first time at Lowells. It was saturday and we sat on the first floor. Went up and ordered 3 meals, paid and tipped ten bucks in advance. We then went to our table with our number and waited. After watching everyone in the room getting served we asked a server the status of our order. He said he would check and never returned. We waited an...

  40. Only in Seattle!
    The zaniest time I can recall...our wild Alaskan salmon sandwich and fish tacos were both cooked perfectly (not dried out-very moist and fresh) but it was the view and the fun of watching these guys run trays of food up 2 flights of stairs, laughing and joking and WORKING their butts off, what a delightful change from all the cookie cutter joints in most cities. (We saw it on Giada Deluarentis' W...

  41. best fish tacos i've ever had, hands down
    while we were able to snag a window table on the second floor at busy lunch hour, we waited almost 45 minutes for our food. luckily for them, the fish and chips and fish tacos with black beans were worth the wait! the fish was crispy and the salsa was just right. as for the black beans, i almost ate the bowl and the spoon, too, haha. the clam chowder was also good and the iced tea was perfect, to...

  42. Breakfast
    I loved my breakfast it was delicious, and my expresso mmm. I only give it 8 instead of a 10 because my friends were not impressed with their eggs benedict. But I would reccomend going there for breakfast!

  43. Unique, original and awesome views
    Looked like a little diner in the Pike Place Market, turned out to be a highlight of our trip to Seattle! What appeared to be a little restaurant turned into a fun time for all when we were told there were actually 3 floors of panoramic seating to choose from, all overlooking the port of Seattle and the waterfront. Even though there was eight of us and a line going out the door, the friendly staf...

  44. Another Treasure in the Pike Place Market!
    Even though I'm a Seattle native, I've lived all over the U.S. in the last few years. Upon moving back to my beloved city, I headed for one of my favorite places, the Pike Place Market. There I "rediscovered" Lowell's Restaurant, a place my family ate when I was a kid. Now that I'm all growed up, I've found a new favorite place! The views of the water are unequaled and so is the food. Hearty...

  45. For Tourists Only
    The average food here is no compensation for the bizarre seating and ordering system at this tourist spot. To eat on the first or third floor you must order at the front counter which is a convoluted mess with people ordering, other people trying to fill their drinks and grab silverware while indifferent waiters push through with gigantic trays filled with food. But if for some reason you wish ...

  46. Great little place, plan to return
    Stumbled across this little place while strolling through Pike Market. Settled on some eggs benedict, and was pleasantly surprised. The staff was quite friendly, the view of the bay was nice, and the food was GREAT. No parking but that's to be expected for Pike Market... BTW: Second and third floors are smoking, first floor is non.

  47. We had a fabulous time!
    A friend and I were prowling around the Pike Place Market one day hoping to find a place where the locals go, we were directed to Lowell's Restaurant and Bar. Wow we had no idea , three floors of view seating and the bar on the second floor was where we ended up! We sat at the bar and had the best fish and chips hands down. The service was great. The bartender was engaging, introduced us to so...
