    BREAKFAST
    I make my kids walk to a restaurant every Sunday. Get them out of the house. Well everytime I ask which restaurant you want to walk to today and they all yell the Chelan. Great breakfast, don't have to wait that long on a Sunday. Love the family setting. We walk from 49th Ave SW & SW Charlestown just to give you an idea of how far they are willing to walk for great food!

    Tasteless bartenders
    Walked in and no clean tables to sit at, and it took the talkative gossiping bartenders to notice that I needed a menu and a drink! One of them looked like she just woke up still wearing what she was partying in the night before, and never needed to re-apply make-up. The food was pretty darn good, and they can pour a drink. I just thought pants and a bra might be a requirement to work there. Guess I was wrong.

    Wow! Home cooked meals like Momma made
    Old fashioned food goodness. Nice wait staff. Family friendly atmosphere. Bar in the back of the resstaurant from another entrance if you need a drink. The staff is so pleasant and attentive I think I am back in the 50's. The breakfast is large and filling and so very tasty.

    Best Breakfast in West Seattle - for a diner that
    The wait staff are polite though some of the gals a bit cheeky - but that makes it so much more fun. Great place to take kids for breakfast. A diner and nothing more but the food is consistant and affordable. We love to have a weekend breakfast there. We visit with friends and neighbors there so it feels like home.

    decent breakfast and you can smoke in the bar
    The breakfast here is your standard american greasy breakfast which is a good change, dammit. I don't want bland home fries, I don't want fancy dry chicken sausage and 47 grain bread.... I want shredded browns, scrambled eggs and some pork sausage like normal people eat. You can eat and smoke in the bar, which has lots of seating. I am always amazed at how many people are in there drinking hard liqour on a late morning/early sunday afternoon. I only go there when I'm hung over and I think their bloody marys were too salty which is what stops them from getting more stars. The servers were nice and sometimes wear leather pants. I give them 4 stars because I once saw a roadcrew (maybe they were prisoners)come in on their lunch break and eat a lot of food and drink a lot of booze before they left. That's cool.

    Best Breakfast!
    The Chelan Cafe is a great restaurant, you will love everything. It is kid friendly and they make great Mickey Mouse pancakes! Lots of seating in two rooms and has a counter to eat at also. Service is very friendly, it is a warm and comfortable diner type atmosphere.
