Rusty Pelican Cafe Woodinville

Hilariously long wait for brunch and they won't do a wait list with text messages or anything. They literally write it down on a piece of paper and come out and yell - way too many times, some people they kept holding tables for had obviously left and they kept holding others up for an hour instead.

The food is good, though nothing particularly stood out as spectacular here and the bread was sorta meh. Their menu is quite diverse and offers many options. I liked their drink and Milkshake options, but I wish they had a better dessert menu.

We ordered the eggs Benedict, lemon pancakes and chunky monkey pancakes too. All were great, but the lemon pancakes were to die for.

Our waitress and all the the wait staff were incredible. Friendly, professional, quick and good at their jobs. Some of the best customer service I've seen lately.

The biscuits and gravy were absolutely ordinary, exactly what I wanted from B&G at 1.5 times the price. Benny was the same. The potatoes that accompanied the food were completely un-seasoned…how about some sour cream, chives, salsa, salt or butter even? Tabasco and ketchup don’t belong at an establishment with linens and mimosas. Adequate diner food dressed up to fetch a premium.

There's really no better place to meet friends for brunch than Rusty Pelican Cafe & Kitchen.
You feel like home with all the beautiful smiles from the team along with the great smell for the food. I really like to run all my business lunches at Woodinvelle branch however the other 2 branches also super good and beautiful.
I always order Garden Skillet 😍

The environment here feels amazing. There are many touches of high class dining while being accessible. The restaurant feels light and airy.

The food was also very good. The corned beef hash was made with hash brown potatoes and nice size chunks of corned beef. The fresh fruit was well picked and the muffin was filling with a delicious jelly and butter.

The bacon was also a win all the way around. Some of the best that I have tasted.
