I've never understood the appeal of the Lynnwood Grill. The atmosphere can be "fun" if you like the bar scene, but more often that not it's too loud, too smokey, and too busy. The food is average at best, and nothing really stands out for this place. We thought that might change when they moved to their brand new location in the spring of 2011. But alas...

My friends and I waited a terribly long time to find out our names were misplaced on the "list". When asked to speak with management, we were told that "there was confusion" and "as you can see, we're very busy." When an online customer comment card was completed, management responded with a "don't come back" email, which was quite rude:

"We don't control when people come or how many come. We also don't kick you out of your seat while you are celebrating a birthday after you have been here for an hour and are finished eating. All of these things I am confident are beyond your comprehension. That is why I must tell you that our establishment is not the place for you."

Nevermind the blatant disregard for an error that was made when we checked with the hostess about a longer-than-expected wait.

"The wait is the wait. Asking a hostess how much longer it will be doesn't make it happen any faster, it just slows her down from doing her job, which is to get you seated as quickly as possible. Can you imagine how much it would slow her down if every one of the parties on the list asked how much longer it would be."

Apparently it is unjustified to expect good service, or to have a mistake corrected, or to simply *gasp* expect an apology.

"We will never meet your high expectations. We do make thousands of people happy every week. We fed close to 1000 people last night. And we are happy about that. "

So, if you want to be treated like an animal, one of thousands on any given night, and served mediocre food cooked in mass quantities like any buffet line or cruise ship, then by all means - you've found your place.

However, if you don't enjoy being treated like a number instead of a paying customer, or even a human being, let me know. There are a handful of decent, hardworking restauranteurs nearby who'd rather treat customers with respect and lose a buck or two than feed "by the thousands" from a trough. Feel free to ask where and I'll gladly point you in the right direction.

The food is very mediocre and the service is AWFUL. I'd rather go to Blinco's.

The food is pretty good, mostly standard bar fare with the addition of decent pizza. If the service was at least as good as the food I'd give it 4 stars but every time we go it takes forever to get our food and there's always at least one thing missing (pet peeve - might not happen if they wrote down your order). Last weekend we went and ordered a club sandwich and a personal pizza. It took 30 minutes to get our food and when I asked for parmesan it took another 5 minutes to get that. It really ruins the experience. If you're going there to hang with friends and have a burger and a few beers then it's a great place. If you're trying to stop for a quick lunch you probably want to find someplace else.

Great little place to stop at for quick lunch or dinner. The food is always very good. Seating is a little small but still a comfortable feeling. Great place in the evening for a few drinks with friends.

Lynnwood Grill is a great local bar that serves up bar-food classics, as well as some healthy items. The pickle chips are a must-try, and the salads are full of fresh veggies. Relaxed atmosphere and friendly staff make dinner and/or drinks a treat.

We ate there for the first time yesterday ... had a burger and fries and OMG it was the best!!! Didn't expect food to be so good but it was! This will definitely be one of our new hot spots. Thankx.

I agree. I like their salads and their drink specials. Watch for the $1 Wild Turkey shots on Thanksgiving...
