Reviews for Ivar's Fish Bar in Seattle, WA
Solid for fried food. We ordered halibut with fries. It was dry but edible. The fried clams were my favorite. The chowder... with the bread bowl was thin and the bread cold, but the taste of them together was decent . The shrimp cocktail was nothing toget excited about. Definitely order the Cajun baby snacker. It’s juicy and not too spicy. We also ordered three soft drinksand one bottled water. Our total was about $70 and seating was picnic bench tables in a tent. I would definitely come hereagain. Read more
Excellent dinner. Ivar's has many varieties of seafood and chips. They offer cod, salmon, clams, prawns and oysters. They also... offer New England style clam chowder which is cream based. For the non seafoolivers they offer a chicken strip backet and achicken sandwich. If it's not raining, take your food to the outdoor tables on the waterfront with a view of downtown Seattleand the iconic Space Needle. Read more
Great location with outdoors seating and great deals for happy hour! We stopped buy for late dinner and it happened to be happy... hour. There are good discounts on popular items like fish and chips crispy calamari, beef tips and a lot more. So we ended upordering too much food! The fish and chips was good as expected, the calamari was crispy and the dipping sauces good as well. Ihad the ram-ble on the barge which was good, but not my favorite. We enjoyed our time there, it was a nice day and we could seethe boats on the water, the food and service were great and the happy hour menu ????. Read more
Best place on Lake Union in Seattle for an outdoor Lunch for about $20. Their Fish Bar at the North Lake Union location appears... to serve slightly larger portions of salmon than outlying outlets by the same name. Watch boats sailing from lake Washingtonto Lake Union as you dine on Fish n Chips. The Smoked Salmon Chowder is especially good. On the day of our visit, we spottedthe Seattle Fire Boat "Chief Seattle" passing by. Kenmore Air Float planes can be seen in the distance. They cut a take offpath on the Lake to alert boaters of intended take departure. Free guest parking across the street. Property also offers a 100feet boat dock and free tie up while dining at restuarant. Pick up your order, then access the dining dock by walking aroundthe Salmon House Restaurant entrance and continue about 10 feet past totem poles to the outside ramp leading to dock where thereare tables and chairs. Crank up umbrellas offer shade. If you prefer a historic spirit inspiring setting, dine inside SalmonHouse for Lunch or Dinner. The Bar offers a large Happy Hour Menu which rates a separate review.

Ivars is so good! I haven’t been to this location in years! I love their traditional history exhibits. Of Washington State... tribes. Such beautiful carvings, photos and, canoes! Right on the water for awesome views. Parking was strange but worth thehassle. Clam chowder is a must! We ordered the chinook surf and Turf everything tasted great! My pics don’t do this placejustice please visit if you can. Restaurant is old so we were a little to hot but otherwise awesome place. Read more
I went here a few times a year when I was little. Now that I am back here and settling in on a permanent basis I HAD to visit... one of my favorite restaurants from my childhood. The place has not really changed much since the 1980s. If you want a placethat is as solid as a rock, never changing to relive your childhood, or give your children memories similar to your own thisplace is PERFECT! I ordered one of the most expensive items on the menu, the seafood platter, just to give myself the broadestspectrum of old tastes and flavors to bring back as many memories as possible and that platter was about $25. So prices are nottoo bad. Even the views from the restaurant windows have remained pretty much the same! GREAT place to go if your feelingnostalgic, or want memories to share with family. Service is excellent. You can show up in jeans and a tshirt or formal attireand still fit right in Read more

Local favorite(I’ve been coming here for special occasions as far back as I can remember) with an amazing seafood buffet for... Sunday brunch. Not sure if the brunch is available post Covid. We had appetizer sampler, King salmon, sourdough bowl with clamchowder, halibut and chips. The King salmon was well worth it. Read more
