3 Fantastic WA Restaurants Worth the Visit (and the Wait)

Washington is full of amazing restaurants and cafes. Living here is like living in a foodie’s dream. We have some of the best international and American dishes you could ask for. A fantastic Washington restaurant that we think is worth the trip (and the wait) is Maltby’s Cafe.

WHAT IS MALTBY’S CAFE AND WHERE IS IT LOCATED?

If you love gigantic slices of toast, gigantic omelettes and pancakes, mouth-watering drinks, and the best brunch this side of the West Cascade Mountains, then Maltby’s Cafe is the place to visit. The Maltby Cafe is at 8809 Matlby Rdnext to the Maltby Pizza & Pasta restaurant in Snohomish, Wash.

IS MALTBY’S WORTH THE WAIT AND THE LONG LINES?

My first hike to Maltby’s was on a girls trip. We rented an Airbnb in Woodinville and stayed overnight on a Saturday. Came on Sunday morning, our friend driving told us we were all going to have brunch at Maltby’s Cafe. I had never heard of this restaurant before. When we arrived we were a group of 7. My friends asked me if I would put our name on the waiting list for a table. When I jumped out of the car and walked to the front door of the Maltby, there was a long line of people coming out of the front door. The crowd was super friendly to me as I walked past the crowd in the restaurant. The server was fun, kind and inviting. He told me it would be a 30 minute wait for a table. I went back to my friends and relayed the information, expecting them to say, “Let’s just go somewhere else!” However, they decided to stay in line.

“Maltby’s is worth the wait!” exclaimed my friend.

Me cynical, I mumbled under my breath, “We’ll see!”

I’m here to tell you I was eating my words (pun intended). Maltby’s Cafe was tastier than my wildest dreams.

WHAT WE RECOMMEND YOU EAT AT MALTBY’S CAFE

Take a look at the menu and see if anything jumps out at you. I ordered the Monterrey Omelet Scramble, with extra hot sauce. I was impressed when the salsa was already over my eggs without me even having to ask. It was as if they had read my mind! It came with a slice of Maltby toast which is the size of a toast I would expect to come from TEXAS, it was so big. I also added a side of Montana Fried Potatoes. A couple of my friends brought home a cinnamon bun from Maltby. It’s about the size of a man’s head.

WHAT OTHER RESTAURANTS WE RECOMMEND YOU TRY FOR A MEMORABLE BRUNCH IN WASHINGTON?

If you want the ultimate Washington (west side of the state) experience, you have to try 13 Corners in Vancouver (or any of their locations, really) just for the ambiance and the touristy nature of it all. Or go all out with one Sunday Drag Queen Brunch at Unicorn Seattle!
