Voting Home / Steelhead Diner
Nominated for: BEST Greasy Spoon
Perhaps unknowingly, we've been heading toward the Steelhead Diner for years. Each job we've held and experience we've had has strengthened us in complementary ways and brought us toward finally collaborating with each other. This is our family business that we want to share with you. We met when we both worked at a restaurant called Bacall's in Adelaide, Australia. We're both avid long distance runners and love to eat (a good, and necessary, combination). We live downtown and love being part of city life. We're concerned about our planet and support groups that practice sustainability and good-for-the-earth activities—fisheries; local growers, bread makers, cheese makers; organic and natural beef producers, etc. Our diner is a place of no pretensions where locals hang out, chat with others, watch the kitchen fun and have a great meal. It's the perfect place to bring out-of-town visitors. They'll get a real Seattle experience—great local food in the historic Pike Place Market setting with a view of the Market, Elliott Bay and the Olympic mountains.

this isn't a greasy spoon by any means...I don't know any greasy spoon that serves Grilled Washington Troll King Salmon with fennel and a blood orange sauce. or pan roasted brussel sprouts. or Theo chocolate pecan pie. Get it together evening magazine. This food is in another class than the rest of the other places listed

Best Greasy Spoon is such an insult to this restaurant. Why do they keep getting put in this category? The food is AMAZING and there is nothing greasy about it.

This is one of my favorite restaurants in Seattle. I have no idea why it keeps getting nominated as best 'greasy spoon', when it is not a greasy-spoon-cheap-eats-diner! It isn’t a place to get ‘cheap eats’ either! It should be nominated in the ‘New American’ category or ‘Fine Dining’! The food is amazing and worth every penny!
