Sunset Alehouse - Issaquah

After reading a few reviews, we stopped in to check out Sunset Alehouse for ourselves. Our status included the polenta and cheese covered tots. I enjoyed both. The polenta was nice and crispy. The tots were also crispy with lots of gooey cheese and bacon. We devoured both. For my entree, I had half of the peanut butter burger and the grinder. The grinder had the classic saltiness you'd expect and the bread was nice and firm as to not fall apart. The peanut butter burger was one of the better burgers of this type of variant I've had. The meat party was flavorful and supple. The peanut butter was pervasive in every bite which made the burger really stand out. The regular fries and sweet potato fries were good, but nothing special. My daughter had the chicken fried steak. I took a bite and didn't like it think it was good. That dish seemed like a big miss to me. Another member of our party had the grilled salmon, but didn't enjoy it since it was too salty. The server graciously took it off of our bill. If you like sportsbars bar food, I recommend giving Sunset Alehouse a try. The food and service are very good.

We got the polenta fritters and the Works Tots. They were both wonderful. For our meals my husband and I shared the Grinder and the Haystack Burger. Both of them were great!!!! I would definitely order both of them again. My oldest got the salmon, but we forgot to say no salt so she couldn 't eat it. (They took it off the bill even though it was our fault!!! . My youngest got the chicken fried steak. It was middle of the road, definitely not something to write home about. But they loved the poached eggs. Overall we had a great meal and my husband and I will definitely go back. The service was excellent. Our waiter was very polite.

The food here was amazing! I ordered a TBLAT and my friend ordered the roast beef for lunch and both were delicious! I especially loved their onion rings. Our server was also really sweet and went above and beyond to make sure we were happy with our meals. Our drinks were almost finished when I accidentally knocked them over and she offered to give us partial refills with no extra charge! I thought that was incredibly nice of her, she definitely didn’t have to do that but it made our experience that much more pleasant. We will definitely be coming back when we’re in the area again!

I went here for a weeknight double date initially the ladies were expecting something closer to fine dining but once the food and cocktails came they were happy. Everything was delicious and the ambience is pretty lively too. Though not a romantic place it is certainly a good place to hang out with friends.

Favorite Issaquah restaurant by far. I have yet to try something I do not like. Some favorites are the cheesesteak, Grilled Chinook Salmon, and a side of beer cheese for meals with fries. The food is very rich, so you'll likely have leftovers. Service has always been great too. It's definitely more pub style, so if you are looking for a quiet, intimate place this probably is not a good choice, but if it's good food you are after (albeit maybe not the most healthy), check it out!
