The Best Dive Bar & Diner in Seattle

Jen B

Last night we got into town rather late and not many places were still serving food…that’s where Mecca Cafe comes to the rescue. It’s definitely not fancy, but it’s a great place for late night food and drinks. I had their DeWitt breakfast and my SO ordered their Chicken Fried Steak breakfast (which he raved about ... and has finally agreed this can be one of our stops when we’re on the west side of the state). I think they have some of the best scrambled eggs, which is really the reason I chose to go to this establishment. Read More

We ate here at the recommendation from staff at our hotel when in Seattle last week and had breakfast for lunch that day. The classic French toast was wonderful! My friend had a breakfast platter and it had so much food she couldn’t finish it. We came back the next day and shared a Monte Cristo that was one of the ... best I’ve ever eaten. Great food, great atmosphere, friendly staff and good prices. I’d love to come back someday. Read More

Great diner! Had an eggs Benedict which was fabulous. Worth the upset stomach lol (not their fault I got belly issues). Hash browns super tasty. The staff was so nice. Had such fun diner vibes. They have a happy hour breakfast and afternoon and late night I wanna go back for. I wanna try lunch - a diner turkey club ... with fries is one of my favorite meals, gotta go back!! Pricier than the diners from when I grew up in Jersey but that's city life and 2024 prices for ya haha Read More

I was so looking forward to dining here and I’m glad I have. I had lunch the first day I was here and breakfast the next morning. The corn beef hash is extraordinary. Services fairly friendly, depending on who your server is and the atmosphere is awesome. For lunch, I had the hot beef sandwich which not many people ... serve anymore. The mashed potatoes are homemade and so is the gravy. If you’re in Seattle check this out. Read More

Woohoo, Russ!! If you're looking for a fantastic spot in Seattle, look no further than Mecca Bar! My recent visit was made extraordinary thanks to our bartender, Russ. From the moment we sat down, his quirky service and infectious Philadelphia smile set the tone for an unforgettable evening for some heavy drinkers ... visiting from Texas! Russ was not only entertaining but also incredibly knowledgeable about the surrounding area. He offered excellent recommendations for local attractions, which made our trip even more enjoyable. It's rare to find someone who combines great personality with top-notch service! The pricing at Mecca Bar is among the best in Seattle, making it affordable without compromising quality. The food was exceptional, and I recommend the turkey club, fish and chips, or Reuben sandwich. Overall, if you're in Seattle in Queen Anne, a visit to Mecca Bar is a must! And make sure to say hi to Russ—his enthusiasm and expertise will surely make your experience memorable. You won't be disappointed! His Mystery Shot was the best. Read More

Convenient walkable location, lovely and nostalgic, friendly waitstaff. Big breakfast menu with lots of choices, including veggie sausage. What’s not to love?

My wife and I had a great breakfast here, she had the French Toast, I had the Mercer Mess which is hash browns, onion. Peppers, mushrooms jalapeno, tomatoes, bacon, sausage and cheddar cheese with 2 eggs of any style. Both were delicious. The atmosphere was eclectic and fun and the staff was friendly. A great ... experience, we will be back. Read More

Another referral from our hotel and we were not disappointed. I had the 'mess' with no fungus (mushrooms) or tomatoes, the Mrs had the 2 egg combo breakfast, and we got a side order of french toast. Service was great, PLENTY OF FOOD, price was okay (it's Seattle, not middle America). The only issue was that we wanted ... 'crispy' bacon. But, with the thickness of the bacon, we got 2 orders of cooked bacon, not really crispy. That's no reason not to eat this great food. Read More
