5 Spot

I have been coming to the 5 Spot for decades, and it was always my favorite brunch in Seattle. So I was very sad when it closed. And even after it re-opened under new ownership, the food was severely disappointing. The menu was similar to the old place, but it was just lacking in something. However, I’m happy to say I gave it another try and I had a totally different experience. The food was much closer to what I remember, especially the crispy hash brown and spicy bloodies. If you have been staying away because you had a bad experience after it re-opened, give it another try. If you are lucky you will get Nikki as your server. She is the best for sure!

For over 20years, 5 Spot has been my go-to diner. Love the seasonal changes to menu and the theme changes that always enhance the atmosphere. The Benedicts are always a solid choice and exactly how they should be. The consistency makes this a reliable, local staple that never disappoints! Cheers 5 Spot! ✨

There was no wait for a table of 4 during lunch hours on a Saturday. The service was extremely friendly and the food came out quick. TLDR: I loved the sides of spicy red jacket potatoes and sourdough toast the most. I'm excited to come back again and would definitely recommend to my friends! Here is everything I tried: California Benedict ($19) - English muffin topped with avocado, bacon, sliced tomato, spinach, hollandaise sauce, and fresh herbs. Served with hashbrowns or spicy red jacket potatoes AND toast. The potatoes were well seasoned and not too mushy or crispy. The sourdough toast was surprisingly good with the salted butter. Chicken Fried Steak & Eggs ($19) - Chicken fried steak with country sausage gravy. Served with two eggs, hashbrowns or spicy red jacket potatoes, AND biscuits or toast. Breakfast Burrito ($16) - Three eggs, spicy red jacket potatoes, bell peppers, onions, pepper jack cheese, your choice of bacon, ham, sausage, veggie sausage, chorizo. Topped with salsa verde and sour cream. Generous portion. Doesn't come with any sides sadly. Huevos Rancheros ($16) - Two corn tortillas loaded with black bean chili beef, two sunny side eggs, and spicy red jacket potatoes. Topped with salsa verde and sour cream, cheddar, and pepper jack cheese. This is for those that love saucey foods. Doesn't come with any sides sadly. French Toast ($14) - Got this to-go and it came out hot and quick! It was topped with strawberries + blueberries and came with a side of syrup. Generous portion for the price.
