The Great American Diner & Bar

There is nothing great about this place! And definitely nothing American here.. We were family of 4 dinning breakfast, order 4 dishes (a 1 each) plus coffee. I ordered a Waffel (they did say it's only 1 and comes with fruits) and when I received it this is what i got in fruits - 1 whole strawberry cut into 6 pieces and 11 tiny berries.. Not even a compot! When I asked the server about this she said that's how it comes and we need to order extra fruits! (I had already paid $12.99 for that stupid dish). Same story with Grilled Veggies dish we ordered. Hardly any veggies in that! They did served Chicken Wrap and kids menu fine as said on the menu. But we felt ripped off with other 2 dishes! Never coming here again for breakfast! There are 4 other places within 12-15 min of walking distance

This is a family-oriented restaurant serving diner-style American food. There is a bar to the left as you enter, so it's isolated from the restaurant. For families with small children, that's a good thing. Its big draw is the location. It's central to everything in downtown Issaquah. We've eaten here before watching plays at the Village Theater and attending a history presentation at the Train Depot Museum. The Issaquah Troll is a 10-15 minute walk away. Free parking lots are scattered in the area behind the restaurant, and there's a back door leading to them. This property does not pretend to be a Michelin-starred gourmet dining experience. The food is simple, attractive, and tasty, with reasonable prices.

There are good reviews of this place. My meal was abysmal. I ordered Eggs Benedict, but asked if they'll could be poached medium because I don't like them super runny. My waitress says that's how they're already done and assured me they would be fine. NO JOKE my eggs came out barely soft poached and 75% raw. Absolutely nowhere near medium. Hashbrowns were swimming in oil. Mimosa was good, so walked out with one positive experience.

First time here after meaning to visit for a long time. Small, good atmosphere, great service. The chili was tasty, tho would be even better with a thin layer of raw onions on top, and maybe some more heat. The chicken fried steak did not meet expectations - overdone and gravy lacked flavor. The cheeseburger was very good, but the patty also overcooked. Real OJ, but best to get your coffee elsewhere. We'll be back to try some more of that menu!

First visit, close to a location we were leaving. It’s typical diner food. Huge menu selections from all day breakfast to lunch to dinner. The food was mediocre. Not terrible. The salmon on my Cobb was weird. The salad was fresh. The Reuben was good, the ham scramble food. Affordable. Drinks whether hot tea, or soda was the same price. The people were very friendly and nice and service was great. Atmosphere was fine. The owner I believe was very friendly and attentive. Didn’t like the music playing on some sort of stereo or boom box. It was too loud.
