My daughter plays soccer some evenings in the area and we have 45mins to kill. I can only compliment the bar and beer selection. Service has always been outstanding and fast. We did have the chicken quesadilla last visit and no complaints. I look forward to some other food choices as they look great.

This place having such a low star rating is an absurdity. This place is incredible. The food is amazing, the people that work there are amazing, everything is great! Also they have a ton of awesome vegetarian options, so if you're vegetarian you definitely need to check this place out.

The Troublemaker sandwich is extremely good. It's very tasty and feeling. The Ambiance is laid back in casual. And the service it's fantastic.

Went for Happy hour last night with some friends. Cool spot and it was all decorated with ghosts and ghouls. I'm not talking about the patrons (smile) The drinks were on point. Loved my ice "cube" in my old fashion. I don't know where they are hiding the sommelier, but, he/she/they must be an elf on shelf. .The drink was tasty without being too sweet. Next time I'll try the chocolate version. I had nachos with salsa and tacos. The carne asada was good but I really like the pork. Seasoned to perfection with pickled onions on top. Wasn't too much spices or seasoning to give bad breath. Everything went out without a hitch. All roses here... staff very accommodating and friendly. Tip generously they work hard.. There were only 2 servers but they move like Geppetto in a workshop. Kudos to the management.

Delicious! I visited this morning after a tough workout and had some of the best breakfast I've had in a long time. My friend and I shared the Le Tigre burrito and ordered two alcoholic beverages. Everything was amazingly delicious. The burrito was perfectly cooked and seasoned with the right amount of flavors. It was also huge and more than enough for two people. The hashbrowns were perfectly cooked with the right amount of crisp. Even the coffee was delicious made. I highly recommend visiting Smarty Pants for breakfast as they definitely set themselves apart in the downtown Burien food game.

While visiting our son near Seattle in Burien. This place was awesome inside. I ordered biscuits and gravy with OM eggs. Absolutely delicious. Hubby had the Lopez eggs benedict. Great service and excellent food. Im stuffed for days. The gravy was soo good, biscuits cooked to perfection, hashbrpwns were crispy.

Came to Smarty Pants for happy hour for some snacks and drinks. We were seated immediately and got a spot on their patio with some nice shade but able to enjoy the Seattle summer air. We ordered a few local beers that were on tap as well as some cheese fries and chips to share. The fries were cooked wonderfully and the cheese sauces was delish. The chips were also great but could have used more salsa for how many chips there were. We also ordered the quesadilla which was surprisingly filling and a good deal for happy hour. The service and vibe were all very nice (whoever was on aux gets a 10/10) and we had an overall great time.
