Countryside Cafe

The location was pretty easy to find. There were quite a few people in the restaurant at 8:30 am on a Saturday. There was only one waitress at the time who was taking care of the tables and she seemed to be very personable to each table which was nice. Several other waitresses showed up a little later. The food was ok. Had the country fried steak with a biscuit and a cup of coffee. Nothing special or amazing about the food. Eggs cooked the way I wanted. Hash browns were crisp.

So I stumbled across this cafe because I was getting my car done at Les Schwab, and I tell you I've been back ever since food is priced well and the portions are freaking awesome. The jam is absolutely delicious (even tho I only usually like grape) the cook is awesome she definitely understand the assignment every time flawless and the host/waitress has the best personality always cheerful and giggly and pays attention to customers. Just a great place wonderful environment.

Not as warm and cozy as the now closed Burien location but still decent fare. Prices are still decent too especially in this semi post pandemic economy. Our server was great. Quick service and very friendly and sweet. Very efficient for how busy they were on this holiday Monday. Standard American grub.

This rating is specifically for one single waitress. I went in to order at the counter as I wanted take out. I've done this many times in the last couple of months without issue. She walked past no less than 5 times without any acknowledgment didn't even look my way. After about 4 minutes she rudely asked if I was there for pick up. Told her no I need to order and she walked away, came back and seemed irritated that I needed a menu. Gave me the menu walked away and about 15 minutes later I walked out because she didn't come back to get my order. She's the only Caucasian waitress there. Everybody else has been great. Good is also great, just that one server.
