    It is a dinner. Could it be better? Perhaps, but my family has a long history with this going back 30 years. We loved it. Service was well above average, (one waitress and a pretty fair amount of customers). She was very friendly and popped over at the right time, all the time. Was it the best food ever? No. But the atmosphere made up for it. Clean, decor so outdated it was cool, (like I remembered it), clean, coffee and waters were kept full, clean, and our family of 5 loved the decor. Did I mention it was clean? They can have old decor, but if it is clean, so what! We will go again. A working mans dinner. The food was quite good, enough to fill 3 teenagers and two adults. We all enjoyed the decor with the easy to reach and clean aviation books. Our connection with Randy's was the fact that my dad worked at Associated Grocers and used to go to there to eat often. So it is a great memory, and I was not disappointed going back after many years. If you are a "foodie" or whatever, it is probably not for you. If you wear Carharts and or have a blue collar, it will please! Perhaps 4.5 stars?

    If you actually like hospital/jail quality food, this is the spot. Sure it's quirky, yeah is open all the time. That doesn't make up for the meals. Worst coffee. Worst chicken fried steak The condiment bar at the gas station offers better fare.

    What a cool diner! Open 24 hours and decorated to the nines with model airplanes and aircraft memorabilia. I don't know how long they've been around, but the building looks old (in a good way)! Service. Waitress was natural and a bit sassy, which I don't mind. I don't expect my customer service employees to be robots, I like when they are human. That being said, she was a bit flaky; brought me hot sauce and then took it away before I used it, forgot our chocolate milk and my bf's toast. No biggie, though. Food. Hashbrowns were great! Blueberry waffle. Ok, the blueberries were strange; didn't really have flavor and I wasn't sure if they were fresh or frozen and they weren't cooked into the waffle batter. I hate when they just throw em on top. :/ Syrup was yum and nicely heated up. I tried his bacon and it was good; not greasy, but flavorful. Chocolate milk was the stirred in kind, not the processed kind (yuck).

    Awesome food. Great atmosphere, funny staff! The French Toast was amazing along with biscuits and gravy and some to die for hash browns!

    What a great place to eat to go along with a trip to the Museum of Flight. I went there with my wife and kids. The restaurant is full of aircraft, military and historical memorabilia, the service is friendly and had a friendly chat with Rich who is a retired paratrooper. Will be glad to drop in the next visit to Seattle for another breakfast combo and a coffee.

    The absolute worst customer service experience that I've encountered. For starter's, upon entry of the restaurant the waitress aimlessly stared at my friend and I who had both never gone to this restaurant, so I asked the waitress if we are to see ourselves and she aggressively stormed towards the seating area stating to follow her, strike 1. Once she set us in the far back at the smallest table and walked away my friend and I looked at each other and agreed to move to a larger more comfortable table shortly after she came storming to the table she initially set us at telling us that we had better moved back to our table, so I asked why we couldn't sit at our new table and the waitress stated she was the only worker and did not have time to walk to our table or clean multiple tables and that the table was too big for two people anyway, strike 2. After going back to our initial table and getting our drink orders I asked for hot water and the waitress rolled her eyes at me stating that they would charge me for hot water, & I smiled and said ok so again she stormed off, strike 4. By this time I told the waitress that I understood she had a long day but she needed to be mindful that we were customers and that its very unprofessional to be rude, she didn't take that so well. Finally after 30 minutes of waiting for two chicken salads, there was hair in my food strike 5!!!! I'm over this place. NEVER AGAIN!!

    A diner in which you go back in time. We decided to try this place because our family loves to try new local breakfast diners. It's very nostalgic. However it's ripped seats, black with grease and dirt ceiling tiles and dust coming from the vents makes you scared for your life. The service is very good and fast however. The waffle, and biscuits tasted like baking soda and that is all. My kids barely touched their breakfast saying it was gross. This makes me sad because I have a soft spot for places like this but alas. We will frequent the place a few miles south from now on.

    BF and I were starving after leaving The Museum of Flight down the street, and wanted to give this place a try since we love diners. You can tell it's been there forever, and it seemed like a lot of the patrons were regulars. Interesting decor, which fits the flight theme in the area, but what really stood out were the pink and orange booths. I'm not sure I've ever seen that combination before, but it works there. I got a ham and cheese omelette, with a biscuit, and BF got a burger and chocolate shake. We were both happy with the food and great service from our waitress. This place may not be for everyone, but we enjoyed every minute!

    Stopped in for lunch while training at Group Health. It's a great quirky little place that I found while searching for something to eat in my break. Fast service friendly people worn there and I was even given a copy of the Constitution to take home. Really cute and definitely out of the 50s :)

    Great, chill diner. The service was excellent and it felt like I was in a Dennys as a kid, before I got all snobby about eating at Dennys.

  • Andy B.

    This is a run-down greasy spoon diner that opened up 30 years ago and probably hasn't been updated since in terms of decor (and menu). Even though ceiling tiles are missing and falling off and the booths are tattered and worn, the place is clean and has a lot of interesting and unique aviation-related memorabilia scattered throughout, which is worth a few points. The food is just ok, but expect your sides to be like frozen fries and canned peaches. Sandwiches are a safe bet. Prices are cheap and service was friendly and prompt and that's what makes it better than the Wings Cafe. Also, wi-fi. Food: 2 Service: 5 Ambiance: 3 Value: 4 TL;DR: Timewarp to the early 80s.

    The service is great but the food is alright. I ordered the country fried steak and it wasn't the best or the worst. The cabbage soup looked unappetizing but it was delicious, especially since I was having flu like symptoms. Come here to see awesome decorations and learn history about the place - the servers love telling stories. :)

    Greasy spoon with tons of aviation/military paraphernalia and knick knack on display. Service speedy. Pay at the counter on your way out. Had the fried chicken newly cooked. crispy skin with hot moist meat inside. came with soup or salad. kid had the spaghetti and meatballs which he wiped clean off his plate

    My 4 star rating is based on comparing this place to other diners. People who are leaving 2 or 3 star reviews just because it's an "old, run down diner" aren't grasping the concept of how that's exactly what this is. I wouldn't necessarily say it's run-down, but it certainly has a very vintage feel too it as soon as you pull into the parking lot. I came here on a whim with a teammate after finishing baseball practice nearby and searching for places to eat on his smart phone. I actually found the interior to be very calm. I'm 24 and most other customers were older folks, though I have a personal preference for a quiet, low-key place for brunch, so it worked out great. The airplane memorabilia and decorations inside are pretty neat. I ended up ordering a Belgian waffle, which was $5.55 (it's a little extra to have strawberries on top) and two sausage links, which were $1.20 a piece. Let's face it; this is diner food, so it's not going to be anything to write home about. You go in, satisfy your hunger, and continue on with your day, which is exactly what I did. I was a little bummed at spending $2.40 on sausage links that were VERY small and were brought to me on a plate of their own, which made the presentation even worse. They weren't hot, but tasted okay. I would recommend avoiding side items. The sandwiches, burgers, waffles, pancakes, and every main dish on menu was reasonably priced. If I go back for breakfast, next time I'll probably order two waffles without the strawberries and no side items. Just drinking water and accounting for tip, that would be a pretty decent, filling breakfast for about $11.00.

    It's a cool place for my daughter to see all the airplane stuff... food is meh. Like a Dennys type of thing. My daughter loved her spaghetti. My Belgian waffle was dry. Eggs and bacon were good. Coffee was horrible. Glad I had my own in my tumbler. After this, off to the Museum of Flight... again (being a member has it's perks,I guess). Not the first time here, won't be the last. Service was good. Old pops kind of guy. Friendly, attentive. Forget his name tho.

    Really cool atmosphere with lots of WWII memorabilia. The place needs some work and a thorough cleaning, I was a little scared of how the kitchen might look since the dining room appears to be in need of a serious scrubbing to say the least. We ate breakfast there and it was so bad that we couldn't even eat it. It was the equivalent of a cheap microwavable meal. NOT WORTH $10! Everything was prepackaged, bland and not fit for human consumption. I feel really bad for the waitress. She was the only person working the floor and she was running! I will not be returning nor do I want anyone else to eat there ever! I hope the owner reads this and makes some changes, this place was so good years ago and now it's worse than Denny's.

    Really great diner with awesome atmosphere and fantastic service. This restaurant is probably the closest one to the Air Museum, so the theme is really fitting of aviation. Props and historical paraphernalia from aviation era going back to at least WWII. We went in for a late lunch and I had a burger and shake that was just great and my girlfriend ordered breakfast that was also delicious. Waitress was really sweet and very fast. We would return anytime we find ourselves visiting in this area.

    First time here, probably won't be back. Basic run of the mill diner. Lots of cool things to look at while you wait. The food is not that great, but it was close to work and we were short on time.

    How I heard of this place: Another suggestion from the January 2010 issue of Seattle Magazine, where Randy's was selected as best dinner-plate sized pancake on a budget. Type of cuisine: Typical American diner fare. Ambiance: It feels just like walking into a Denny's - still set in the 1970s. A rather heavy-set man sat in front, signing copies of the book he authored about airplanes. A short, stalky middle-aged (or older) woman greeted us as we waited to be seated. Her and her heavily sprayed hair have probably been at Randy's since it's inception. The crowd - at about 10:30 a.m. - consisted mostly of the senior crowd, which made me wonder if they have a first Thursday of the month special or senior hours. The place was packed! What I ordered: I went for option #4 - two eggs cooked over easy and hash browns with a side of buttered English muffins ($4.50). My dining companion ordered the #1 which came not only with two eggs (sunny side up) and hash browns, but four breakfast sausages as well (her choice after being offered either sausage or bacon) and a side of buttered rye toast ($6.50). Seeing as how the dinner-plate sized buttermilk pancakes complete with maple syrup were the reason for our venturing out to Tukwila, we also ordered one of those for a whopping $2.44. What I loved: The fact that everything tasted exactly as I would have imagined! It's diner food after all. Very much like it may have tasted if I made the meal myself at home...without all of the work and the dirty dishes. I can't say the pancakes would draw me back, but while there, they sure were a hit with which to top off the meal. Why I loved it: You got exactly what you'd expect and paid for at Randy's. Nothing dazzling. Nothing pretentious. Just good ol' fashioned diner food. Cost: $2-$7 for breakfast meals

    A classic diner. Very outdated in the best way. Breakfast was simple and classic, reasonably priced and expertly prepared. Very friendly service (I had a three year old with me).

  • Dominick O.

    Absolutely excellent food! I am a breakfast snob and have sent back countless eggs... these eggs came out PERFECT here. The sausage, the hashbrowns, everything you want for breakfast! Come to Randy's. Seriously the best breakfast I've had in the greater seattle area and I've lived in seattle for 21 years!

  • Tom F.

    Liked it a lot! Great hashed browns, perfect eggs, great coffee....could eat breakfast here everyday. I am from out of town but noticed/liked how the gentleman I am sure must be the owner addressed the majority of customers by name with a friendly welcome.

  • Kayla A.

    The atmosphere was inviting , our family thought the atmosphere would've been like the food good looking and have great taste. Problems: -1st hair found on utensils -2nd hair found right under my toast -PORTIONS ARE NOT EQUAL TO PRICE ( tiny steak, two small eggs,with a long skinny hash brown $14:00 plus tax) -They are very cheap on jelly for toast aka 1 jelly packet for all 4 pieces of toast! We kept asking for jelly like 4 packets but the waitress only gave us 2 after repeating and repeating!!! So after the worst experience for our first breakfast of 2015 I guess we didn't spend our money wisely and the first day of the year then we expected! I recommend not coming here on a empty stomach cause after a couple bites you will loose your appetite when you see your suprise!!

    What a treat. Good breakfast food(I got the number 1) served by a friendly waitress. Prices are fair. If you are military or law enforcement, you'll see plenty of unit patches on their wall. Much vintage airplane stuff too.

    food was good, kitchen looks clean, looks like they own professional chefs.. the restaurant itself so outdated, it needs major renovation, they have such great unique collectable items , it was fun to see while you'r waiting for your meal. fair service considered at that time the restaurant was so busy due to "air fair" event. rest room was terible it needs renovation defineedly soon. next time I'll skip rest room.

    I used to stop by often for the corned beef hash and eggs to study since it was on the way between my job in Seatac and school in Auburn, and my apartment in Seattle. Whenever I was hungry and too lazy to cook at home, I could count on Randy's to be the only decent restaurant to be open on the way to or from work or school anytime since it's a 24hour diner. The first night I stopped by the waiter was Ray. He looked at me with suspicion, like I was weird for coming in to eat in the middle of the night; so with that mindset, he exuded an aura of wary uneasiness, which only made me uncomfortable. Thankfully, he was nowhere to be seen the second time I was craving corned beef hash and eggs, as he was replaced by Linda (I think that was her name) on the graveyard shift. She breathed life to what was a lifeless, creepy experience with Ray with her wit, humor, and friendliness. I would give the review 4-5 stars because of the dining experience with Linda, but Ray brought it down a notch.

    This is an old school jem! I'm pretty sure the neon colored Formica is original. You want dinner fare you got it. Kids love this place and they have large servings of traditional dinner food. Staff is really friendly and if there is anything you ever wanted to learn about airplanes... you will learn it here.

  • Shawna M.

    I will never come back here! The waitress named Kim was extremely rude. She did not tend her tables. No manners. I don't know if she hates her job or life, but I am a loyal paying customer. I expect to be treated as such. I work in customer service and I would never treat a customer in such an unprofessional disrespectful manner! My boys love the museum of flight! I would normally give 5 stars, but after the way my boys and I were treated I can't even give 1. Sadly we will be eating elsewhere.

  • Katie D.

    The people are friendly, but a big huge hair in the the eggs was just not nice. The employees seem like they've all been there quite a while, and they are pretty personable and reasonable, for the lost part. It's too bad they didn't comp the dish that had the hair in it, because my friend couldn't keep eating after that. We did go twice, and honestly, the service is better than the food, which is average American diner fare.

  • Kirbi T.

    I absolutely love this place. While we were living on Beacon Hill it was our regular spot. Good diner food with great kitschy decor. I'm pretty sure most of the waitresses have been there forever. They are my favorite type of waitresses in that they bring our food out, check on us once or twice, and don't hover. Nothing is more annoying than a waiter who won't leave you alone long enough to enjoy your meal. If you're down at the Museum of Flight this is the perfect place to stop in for lunch.

  • Kristine P.

    Love this airport diner. Super kitschy and retro inside. The airplane stuff is cool for us av-geeks. Breakfast is good, cheap and hot. The servers are all really nice.

  • Jaime E.

    The food was pretty good. I got the corn beef hash which was pretty good. The wait wasn't too long for the food. They had model air planes all around the place which was really cool along with a lot of war memorabilia. The waiter was really nice and felt like a nice mom and pop shop.

  • Mindy E.

    The wife and I were hungry & looking for something close to the flight museum, Randy's fit the bill. We were greeted at the door by the owner & sat at a table right away. The staff are super friendly and the kitchen staff definitely has the right stuff. I'd give it 5 stars if the seats weren't being held together with duck tape. The food was great, though, so we'd definitely come back if we're ever in the area again. Definitely worth a visit if for nothing else than the unique charm this cafe has to offer.

    This is the only real American diner I've been to in the Seattle area. It is located a few blocks south of the museum of flight down by Boeing. Was a little unsure of the place but was extremely glad I stopped by. The interior has planes hanging from the ceiling, old war photos and memorabilia. It has a long classic diner bar and very friendly staff. I ordered the British burger which is a burger with bacon and fries. It was simple with great flavor just as expected. The prices are great when you compare it it all of the places on Capital Hill that try and come off as a old diner. Definitely worth the stop.

    (5)

  • P K.

    This place has not changed in the 31 years I have came here. Not the carpet, booths or menu options. A very good greasy spoon that offers daily specials. Try the British burger. Owner is there every day and once he sees you are a return customer he will interact. Not bad and good location.

  • Peter S.

    I've driven by this place many times over the years and always thought it would be a bad, greasy spoon. I was wrong. Three of us had breakfast here recently and we were all pleasantly surprised with the quality of food, the service, and the overall cleanliness. The food was a tad greasy but much less than expected, and (more importantly) it actually tasted better than expected. The service was good, and the interior is dated but updated with a substantial aviation theme. Updated review. I was here again recently and surprised/disappointed by the slide of melted cheese over the omelet. Really?...

    My in laws are members at the museum of flight, so we stop in frequently with my 2 1/2 year old son who, just loves this place! We have always had a really pleasant time here. Today was hell!! I can not believe people like our waitress Kim are even allowed a job!!! She was so rude for absolutely no reason at all. Our waiter to start out with was Ray who is always nice. After he took our order and brought our food out, He let us know he was leaving and, Kim would be our waitress. He told us if we needed anything she would be the one to ask. After about 10 minutes into our meal my sons apple juice and my sisters sprite were empty. SHE NEVER CAME OVER TO CHECK ON US OR INTRODUCE HERSELF!! Usually when a new sever takes over for another one they at least come over and introduce themselves!! Not her!! And she was not busy at all she had a total of 3 tables including mine. It wasn't big tables either it was one guy at a table, then another had two guys. Trust me she wasn't busy!!! Finally after having empty drinks for 20 minutes. I noticed she was refilling another customers drink who she had been catering to the whole time! I simply said hey can we get a refill? I was trying to be nice being as she was already walking back to refill his drink! Heaven forbid if she got some exercise and had to make two trips to fill my sisters and sons too!! The old hag looked right at me and just walked away. I watched her refill the other mans drink and come back to drop it off for him. While she flirted with him! Probably hoping and praying that somebody would give her attention!! She then walked over to the other side of the restaurant to let another waitress know we needed refills. Robin I believe was her name who was not pleasant either. Filled our drinks after my sisters BLT and fries were gone. What's the point in having the refill now when her meal is gone? So the rude lady Kim aka old hag who clearly hates her life, and job comes over and pushes my phone off the receipt, that Ray had left for us once he dropped off our food. Without saying a word and picks it up. Robin comes back over probably another 10 minutes later with our drinks and a new receipt!! AGAIN SHE SAYS NOTHING ALSO!!! I said very nicely was there a problem. She says with an attitude "NO THE APPLE JUICE REFILLS ARE NOT FREE SO I HAD TO CHARGE YOU." I've never been charged for a refill of apple juice here before. But I understand it's juice so maybe the rules changed. Had I know it was gonna take a total of 25 minutes for the apple juice I wouldn't have even order another one. So after I help my son finish eating he always gets a pancake and needs help cutting, and eating it. I finally started eating my food. I had used the only napkin I was given for my son. Everyone knows syrup is messy!! I was scared to even ask for a napkin or for a refill of my water. Apparently it's to much to ask for the old hag to do her job..... After she walked past us probably another 20 times without saying a world or checking to see how we were doing. I finally asked if she'd like us to pay up front. "Like I said I've been in before, just sometimes the sever takes care of it sometimes they ask you to pay up front" without even looking at us she says either or. About a minute later I start walking up front to pay I see her with her back turned talking crap about me to Ray as he's leaving?!? I really have no idea what I did to this crazy lady but she's obviously jealous of my sister and I because she's so old and bitter with life!!! I pay and let the nice owner lady know that her staff is VERY RUDE!!! I see Kim rolling her eyes as I'm talking to the owner. I guess she's old, bitter and immature!! Not somebody I'd want representing my company!! She just apologizes and so does Ray!! Ray tells me that there was some confusion when I ask for a refill of apple juice and sprite? What's confusing about asking for a refill? I have no idea! I guess for Kim it's rocket science! I sadly will probably never be coming back here! I love the food and it's my sons absolute favorite place to go to eat! But I just can't get past how incredibly rude Kim and the other lady robin were!! Also my mother in law had stopped in a few months prior to today by herself and called to tell me about, a rude waitress! When I talked to her today I asked what that lady had looked like? She described an old, over weigh, messy, run down not well put together women who fits Kim's description perfectly!! So she must be intimidated by pretty women!! Good luck to whoever comes in here and has her as a waitress! I'm really sad I won't ever be stopping in again. At least while she still has a job here!! I would give this place 5 stars for the food and the other experiences I've had but, if this review was solely based off Kim it would be negative 5 stars!!! And if I had Kim the first time I came in I would have never gone back in a million years!! Really sucks to my son just loves airplanes!

    Awesome decor. Great tasting Breakfast. Looses a star for only allowing one free refill on fountain drinks in very small cups.

    A Seattle classic... Must have been what Denny's was like before a giant corporation bought it out. Pros: - Food Selection...Randy's serves an assortment of diner food, from the traditional American breakfast items to classic all-American Bacon Cheeseburgers. - Menu Customization...At Randy's, customizing your order from the menu is no problem at all. - Pricing... Very Reasonable. As cheap or cheaper than a Denny's for better food. - Wait Staff Consistency / hospitality... Not only does Randy's utilize the service with a smile motto, the staff has been nearly consistent for years, something rarely found in today's cheaper end diner food restaurants. If you're looking for a place where you can actually get to know your waitress, and have her take your order for the next 15 years, this is it! - Great tasting food... The food is on par with or better than most Denny's Restaurants. Randy's has Denny's style food without the corporate feel. Cons: - Old Fashioned Decor... Depending on your taste/style, some people will turn up their nose at Randy's old fashioned decor... 1970's style booths and tables, along with carpet that probably hasn't been updated since 1984. For some though, including myself, this is not a real con, but rather adds a charming independent feel to the place. This is only a detriment to Randy's, simply because many people won't give it a shot based on looks alone. The saying, "You can't judge a book by it's cover," applies to Randy's.

    For a late nigh diner this place is perfect. I love the decor and the throwback feel. I've always had great service here and the options are endless. It's a great stop for a little nostalgia and some breakfast or burgers.

  • Jon M.

    The old man likes planes so I figured I would suggest this place for lunch since it was nearby. Very cool little diner. Breakfast served all day. Standard diner fare. The wait staff are very kind and it seems like the kind of place with a ton of regulars who are known by name (Noooooorm!). As soon as you walk in, it's just wall to wall aviation. Model planes on the ceilings, aviation books and encyclopedias at the booths, military memorabilia and insignia everywhere, and a groovy 1970s psychedelic decor to boot!

  • Amanda D.

    Being at Randy's reminds me of visiting my grandparents when I was kid. There's old stuff everywhere, everything is vaguely seventies colored, and no matter what time it is it smells like coffee and faintly of that perfume everyone's grandma wears. I guess that might sound unpleasant to some but it's really not. The pink and orange booths are pretty rad and there's old books about airplanes in all of them. There's usually some regulars posted up at the diner counter. It's a nice mellow place to get a good cheap breakfast. Or lunch, but breakfast seems to be their real jam. Anything breakfast is a sure bet in my book, but especially the chicken fried steak or waffles. As far as lunch/dinner goes I've had the French dip and the Malibu burger and they were both okay but nothing to write home about. The servers are all pleasant and that old school kind of nice. Overall not a bad place if you want some diner food. Certainly beats Denny's down the road.

    Exceptional food and friendly service; ask for Ray and you will be well served. Their coffee is tasty, and quite smooth. I had not expected that from diner coffee. I had a three-egg scramble, english muffins, coffee, and pie a la mode

    1st time here. Was driving to Seattle and saw the sign on Marginal by Museum of Flight. 24 hour real diner, not franchised. Older experienced wait staff, super friendly. The cooks are older guys that remind me Mel from Alice's Diner. Straight forward good food. Old school diner. Food is good, what you woukd expect with no surprises. I would recommend coming here.

    I liked it a lot. We came at 3 in the afternoon so it was slow paced but they have friendly service and good home style food. Mashed potatoes are awesome and burgers were good. Atmosphere, I felt a little claustrophobic due to the tons of mini planes in every corner of the store. The booth seats were like ripped to shreds and the bathroom is really old. I liked the food a lot and the rest of my party enjoyed their burgers. Pies arent freshly made, but it was good, but didnt like that it fell apart and didnt look appealing as it was presented to us We had really good service as well.

    This was my first time to try it and what can I say? For memorabilia, history, friendly staff, and old fashioned decor - Randy's easily gets 5 stars. For food - overall 3 stars. I don't want to rate 4 stars because I assume (hope) that most people would rate restaurants by the food more than anything else. I was with my parents for lunch. My dad just ordered a pancake, my mom ordered an open-faced, hot roast beef sandwich (which came with mashed potatoes and gravy and a cup of soup - my mom chose clam chowder) , and I ordered the Dandy Bomber (3 egg) omelette which came with hashbrowns and toast. We all ordered coffee. My dad's pancake took up about the whole plate. My mom had a generous portion of mashed potatoes with a decent pile of roast beef on top and a normal size cup of soup. My omelette had "diced ham, sausage, onions and peppers topped with bacon and American cheese". I ordered it without peppers. Even still, given that description, I sort of expected it to be bursting at the seams. That was definitely not the case. I suppose it was actually more a case of "you get what you pay for" and for $7.95 you don't get an omelette bursting at the seams with fillings. It was topped with 1 slice of bacon and 1 strip of American cheese. It was primarily comprised of the 3 eggs, and the ham and sausage inside were minimal and almost had a boiled appearance. They didn't appear like they had been frying on the griddle. The onions were a little on the raw side. The bacon was pretty perfectly cooked. The hashbrowns were beautiful and delicious but it was quite a small serving. The "toast" I chose was an English muffin and it was perfectly toasted with a light buttering. I didn't sample my dad's pancake but I did take a couple bites of my mom's food. The clam chowder was good. Creamy, thick, and mild. The mashed potatoes seemed smooth (I only took 1 bite) and the bite of roast beef I tried was tender. However, it was all smothered with a brown gravy that was salty and tasted like something made from a packaged mix. If I had chose her meal myself, I imagine I would have gotten tired of the overwhelming taste of the gravy. The coffee was good, but be warned that they only have sugar and Sweet & Low at the table. My mom is a diabetic and usually uses Splenda but even asking the waitress, they had none. They said it had been stolen. Also, a cup or two in, my dad had a very bitter cup, but speculated that it was just from the bottom of the pot (my parents both had decaf). The waitress we had was very nice, but we needed an extra minute to order as we had never been there before. She initially came very quick but then we had to wait quite a good while until she came back again. Nothing really notably good or bad happened with the service, otherwise, although our cups did go empty for a bit. In their defense though, I don't know how many waitresses they had working and the place was pretty full. The overall ambience of the place is very old fashioned. The cashier herself added to it. There is airline memorabilia everywhere, which is not surprising as they are down the road from Boeing. The booths are in those awful oranges and reds and have duct tape on parts, but I don't go to a restaurant for the carpet or booth upholstery so I didn't care. The 4 - seater tables I thought were neat in that they are sort of shaped like an airplane wing, they aren't a perfect rectangle. Overall, I would recommend anyone to visit here at least once, even just for the history and memorabilia. I have eaten better food, but I have also eaten worse. It at least tasted more home made than food at Denny's or IHOP. The airline memorabilia is gimmicky, but still worth a see. Kids would probably get a kick out of it. If nothing else, you know they are doing something right because they have been there for years and yes, as another reviewer said, they are actually open 24/7.

    Good food, great service same today as 30+ years ago! I love this place... It is open 24/7, reasonable prices, right near museum (its kinda a musuem in the making all by itself!) Model airplanes hanging around. Hash browns fresh, cooked crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside! Eggs made by professionals ~ over easy is OVER EASY minus snot! Pancakes light and fluffy. Nothing else is needed!!

    The best American diner in the city, without a doubt! Certainly the decor is stuck in the 60's and the waitresses are OEM when the restaurant was built, but the service is perfect. So is the food! When we last went there for brunch, I was very pleasantly surprised to see real turkey breast (not pressed/formed) for the open-faced sandwich, there was real hollandaise sauce for the eggs benedict and the hash browns were hand-cut. I certainly can't find that that at most diners and even some "fancier" restaurants. And the milk shake was delicious. Yes, the food is simple and basic but the quality is top notch. If you happen to be visiting the Museum of Flight, be sure to visit this little time machine instead of the overpriced cafeteria in the museum.

    This place is a greasy spoon, and exactly what you not only expect, but secretly really want. It's open 24 hours, has great breakfast food, and is VERY down to earth. No frills, just great execution. It's also better price-wise than the great majority of restaurants in Seattle. The decor is 70's Denny's or Dunkin Donuts. (You know, that neon pink and orange.) It's got dark wood, and is festooned with airplane stuff. (Being so close to Boeing, it makes perfect sense.) All in all, one of my favorite places for breakfast.

  • Leonard P.

    Oh, Randy's. How I love you. Let's get this out of the way from the jump: Randy's does not have great food. Randy's has perfectly acceptable diner food. It is not bad, but it is not for foodies; it is straight-up classic diner food. But you don't go here for the steak and eggs, you go here for the amazing jet plane decor, the 1970s ambience, the waitresses from the relish tray era, the old coots (God, please, let me be one of them someday) nattering to each other, the hot cup of Farmer Brothers coffee, and the feeling of being in the kind of joint that served America a cuppa before trendiness and corporatization took over dining. I might not eat at Randy's every day, but I'd live there if I could.

  • Sarah F.

    I thought this place would just be another greasy spoon, and I was partially right. It's greasy, but not more so than other greasy places, and it's better than average. I've been here a few times while I was in the area now (another good thing about it, since there aren't many (real) food places nearby). The perks? -All the cool aviation memorabilia, model planes, and books to enjoy. -The food is fast, cheap, and tasty. -If you're in the area they're open 24-7 for everything. -When the service isn't friendly, it's at least fast. The negatives? -Well, it's still just an average food place in an awesome museum-esque place.

    Seriously??? Where are these great reviews coming from? They must be garnering the nostalgia crowd; I can't believe that we ate at the same place as many of the Yelpers that gave it 4 STARS....and 4 $$$$ on Google...whaaaaaaat? One $ is more like it. We were on an extended road trip with friends and had just enjoyed the Museum of Air and Space down the road. In keeping with our plan to only go to independent restaurants, I thought that this place sounded fun. WRONG!!! Several reviews mentioned the longevity of the servers--just our luck that our waitress had only been on the job for a few days. Everyone has to start somewhere, but I feel that it is inexcusable to be clueless about the menu. She couldn't answer the most basic questions. That would have been ok too if she had made an effort to ask someone more knowledgeable and passed it on to us, but instead, she said she was a "creature of habit" and only had tried one of the menu items herself! Two of us had the hamburger & fries...absolutely pitiful. Preformed beef patties, browned only along the edges, pale in the middle. Small bun for a small burger. Frozen fries. Yuk--didn't eat it after the first bite. Worse was what they called the Monte Cristo; really? Two pieces of french toast made into a sandwich does not a Monte Cristo make. UGH. Absolutely disgusting, and inedible. The fourth member of our party had a tuna sandwich--how do you mess that up? Trust me, they did. The iced tea was the best part of the meal. So disappointing. Tons of aviation memorabilia, yes there was. Also bright orange duck tape on the dull orange booths. The place is very dingy. Denny's would be many steps up compared to this. I understand how aviation buffs & oldtimers (I am 63, but I was just grossed out) would like this place. But if you are going for a decent meal, this is NOT the place to go. This was hands down the worst place we ate on our entire trip.

    I love Randy's. My dad works at Boeing so he's taken me here over the years. The atmosphere is so great. All the waitresses are older, sweet ladies, and the seats are so retro. There is tons of airplane themed objects hanging around on the cielings. Their breakfast is great and the prices are awesome. I would come here everyday if I could.

  • Clayton J.

    The best way I can describe this place is sad happy. It's good to have something in the vicinity of such a robust industrial work area, but it's also sad that the food isn't better. I had breakfast here once and it was really so-so. This time I returned for the BLT and I have to say that when you order a BLT, you expect bacon and these guys did not deliver. I didn't actually open the sandwich, but I looked hard and didn't see more than about 3 strips of thin bacon. To their credit, the sandwich was about $6.50, but I would have happily paid $9 for a sandwich that I could have actually tasted something that reminded me of bacon. I won't say stay away, but feel very conformable in telling you that you won't be adding this place too you favorites list. Good in a pinch, but pray you don't end up in a pinch.

  • Karen D.

    I don't know what dragged me in. Hunger? Maybe. The fact that they are "Always Open"? Must be. Especially if you're in the area and there's no other glowing signs that welcomes you at odd hours of the night. We showed up to an empty restaurant, the waitress was gracious and welcomed us with a smile, even at 1AM. Bonus points. She seats us, and I happened to notice all these... trinkets, model airplanes, books with the covers hanging off due to overuse/old age, which was all about airplanes, EVERYTHING airplanes, even in the menu, things were named after airplanes. Well, DUH. It is in fact right across from Boeing and up the street from the flight museum. The decor is very VERY dated, with orange duct tape over the orange vinyl seating. It's interesting..... I give them credit for trying to camoflauge the flaws but... it's very hard to miss. Asides all that, I wanted food. Kinda. It was hard to pick. Maybe I was tired. Maybe I was distracted by the decor. I don't know. So I settled for the French Dip with Turkey and french fries with tap water to wash it down. It showed up on the plate, nothing fancy, not very impressing. My companion had a patty melt, which looked alright. All in all, I probably won't be coming back for the food, maybe just to stare at the stuff on the wall and ceilings, BUT I'll give a star to the nice waitress and another star to the life size cardboard image of a 1960s flight attendant that I said goodbye to on my way out.

    This is a good restaurant close to the facilities of a large aircraft manufacturer, and next to the Museum of Flight. I went here for lunch with a colleague from work. I had the Malibu Chicken sandwich, which featured a breaded chicken fillet, slice of ham, cheese, lettuce and tomatoes on a sesame seed roll. It was very tasty. My colleague enjoyed his club sandwich. The waitress did an excellent job and kept my cup of Diet Coke filled up.Prices are reasonable. As the employee of a large aircraft manufacturer, I enjoyed viewing the memorabilia throughout the establishment. I will return there for another meal and to gain a better look of the interior.

  • Chad O.

    Classic independent greasy spoon diner decorated in airplane models and memorabilia. Not terrible, but the food was not that special. Standard fare done on par or slightly below. We were a large group of 10, so that might slowed our service and overwhelmed the kitchen. However, we called ahead and the place was half empty. If you need breakfast in their neighborhood, nothing wrong with it. If you're an airplane buff, check it out at least once. Otherwise, no need to waste your time.

  • Lisa B.

    The food is OK, as far as greasy spoon standards go, and the servings sizes are OK, as far as greasy spoons standards go. The service is OK, as far as greasy spoon standards go. See what I am saying: this is a greasy spoon establishment. It will be in your best interest to keep that mind when going to this place. Don't expect a remarkable dining experience. That won't happen. Don't expect a meal that you are willing to travel through Seattle's industrial area to get to. That won't happen. Don't expect an updated, classy look to the booths or walls that is pleasing to the eyes. That won't happen, either. However, if you are in the area for some reason, and need a bite to eat and you don't have a particularly sensitive GI system, this place is...OK.

    Linda, the graveyard waitress is awesome!!! Great food: ALWAYS! Great service: ALWAYS! Returning: DEFINITELY!!! My family has been going here since I was little! My husband and I usually go here late at night and can both order a full meal with beverages... We've never paid more than $20 total, and that's including at least a $5 tip!

    Vomit! I can't believe there are people who eat here a second time! I came here for breakfast. The building looks like it used to be a Denny's except dirtier. You could see the cigarette smoke residue on the walls and I could smell it from the ancient carpets. They have a food additive warning sign on the wall at the entrance and I don't think I've ever seen that before. The food was absolutely grotesque! I had two bites and it tasted worse than anything I had to eat when I was in the military. Beyond that, the waitress was worse than Roseanne! We were obviously bothering her by needing her to do her job (you know, like take our order). She had a terrible attitude problem and probably came to Randy's after being fired from any number of truck stops for making truckers cry. Although I don't know, I'd probably have an attitude, too, if I had to work there. This is the worst restaurant I've ever been to and I have been to all 50 states, so that's quite a distinction. Overall: Homeless people wouldn't eat this garbage! Yelp should have a link "Click to notify the local health department." Bet they'd get a lot of hits for Randy's.

    We stopped here after a morning adventure at the flight museum. It definitely has a divey feel & offers your standard diner-type food, but it caters to the Boeing/flight museum crowd with all the airplane models, pictures & flight-related tchotckes throughout. They have a small kids menu which is great, service was swift & the servings generous. Most likely a place we'll stop again on future visits to the flight museum.

    This place is flippin awesome!! First time in today, and though it might need a little bit of a spiffing up, the awesome 60s decor mixed with the neat airplane models really make this place a treat. And it gets better- cuz the wait staff was super nice, attentive and my food was out like lightning! To top it off- the food is also quite tasty, and very affordable. Also, they're vegetarian friendly and open 24/7.... can't figure out whats not to love!

    I love Randys. I've sat at their old booths with my dad countless times over the years, and pestered Lucia and the rest of the servers. I've ended up there after late nights at the bar, and sat for hours with a cup of coffee and good company. I'm a nut for Chicken Fried Steak, and Randy's has the best! Sure the decor is old, a little dusty, and dated, but I wouldn't have it any other way. Randy's is a bona fide piece of Seattle history, and it has one hell of a legacy. The Blue Angels are regulars, and, for all the crime buffs, the Green River Killer used to have lunch there. I mean, how awesome is that?! (Pardon me, I'm a horror fan. To me, this is awesome, but don't let it sway you from visiting.) They don't need a gimmick like a 12 egg omlette, or a bloody mary bar to drag customers in. Granted, a lot of them have been coming here for decades, but it's still fascinating to sit and talk with the crusty old regulars, and listen to their stories. The servers and owners of Randy's are like family to me now. I'll keep going there, and probably even drag my kids there (when I have them, of course.) Randy's is very kids friendly, from what I've seen, and as long as they're well-behaved, they might score a free stuffed animal or toy! I got them a couple times as a kid, and even now, Lucia still tries to give me one.

  • Bill N.

    Don't go there for the food- just for the retro ambience. It is funky. This time I ate lunch alone at the pink and orange counter with the built in chairs (not stools). I had a buffalo burger and fries which was edible but nothing special at all. The pre-formed meet patty was so thin that I couldn't taste the difference between buffalo and beef. I have had better burgers at teriyaki places. The best part is the stuff everywhere. Planes hanging from the ceiling, glass cases filled with old stuff. Old Boeing guys and pilots make up the steady regulars. The guy next to me wanted cottage cheese instead of fries. Kind of weird but they gave it to him. This would be a great place to take my nephews but I don't think I need to go there to get a good meal.

  • Charles J.

    After reading a review in a national aviotion magazine, we decided we had to check it out. Randy's was once a Denny's in the 60s (and still has the original 1960-era Denny's stained-glass separators between the booths, as well as the sign, which now reads "Randy's".) There is airplane memorabilia on every wall, large airplane models hanging from the ceiling, and vintage airplane stickers on the lampshades. If you are an aviation buff (and who isn't?), Randy's is a Must. Especially if you are visiting the Museum of Flight, which is about 2 blocks to the north. The food is really good, too. The Clam Chowder alone (served Fridays and Saturdays) is worth coming back for. (Much better than Ivar's or Anthony's -- and several Flight Levels above Moe's Clam Chowder in Oregon!) However, get there on Friday if you want to try the chowder.

    Randy's is one of those places you go to late at night, when you just want a greasy spoon or don't feel like herding with all the drunks after last call at the Taco Bell drive-thru. I think the food is great. It doesn't try to be anything it isn't, which is diner food. The decor is definitely dated and dingy but for me, this just adds to the atmosphere and reminds me of the smoke-filled diner I used to go to with my Grandmother. The booths are small and old, and the upholstery is cracking. But if you want good, cheap, 24-hour food, Randy's is great. The service is as good as a toss of the coin. I've had very sweet, friendly attentive waitresses and I've had rude, crotchety, old waitresses. So, I deal with it because at 2:00am if I want Randy's, then I'm going to have it!

  • Evil W.

    Wow - like my childhood had an accident with a 50's diner. If you are into airplanes and model airplanes, you cannot fault this place - it is a glorified model shop in terms of the collection of model airplanes, magazines, and associated art and aircraft related decor. Unfortunately, it also is a restaurant - an older restaurant, in need of some cleaning, with a (in my experience) less than pleasant wait staff and medeocre food. I really want some people who care a lot about history and airplanes to raid this place, spend a little $$$, clean it up, give it a nice dusting, maybe organize the models a bit - a little TLC is all that this place needs to get it another star. Given the paucity of food alternatives in this area (yeah, I know, South Park is only across the bridge), this place should stand out. It's looking run down and forgotten, a bit like the heros who flew the planes that the restaurant sports. But like those heros, it's only lack of appreciation and caring that is allowing Randy's to appear so tired and run down. If you're going to the Museum, or just taking a long lunch from Boeing, please give this place an hour, and suggest that they give the old girl a little more attention - she's looking haggard and she deserves better.

    Randy's would be a great place to eat if you were going to the Museum Flight, which is only a stone's throw away. Or, if you're feeling lazy, just skip the museum altogether. There's enough aeronautic memorabilia to give you the gist. I was psyched to go here, because I'd heard great things about the food and the hilarious waitstaff, and in no way was I disappointed. When I asked the waitress how many pancakes would be a good number (because you just start by order one for like $1.99 and can add extras on at a discounted price), and my sister interjected "Two!" The waitress literally laughed in her face. Still, I boldly ordered two blueberry pancakes (only $0.55 extra for the fruit!) and quickly learned that only a true Seattle Lumberjack Woman could finish that many. Coupled with bacon, eggs, and I-don't-know-how-many coffee refills, I definitely wasn't a member of the Clean Plate Club, but at $6.00 total for all of that food, I didn't feel too guilty about it. Seriously, I paid for Sissy's meal too and it came to a whopping $15, including tip. I'm going to add this place to my "One More Reason to Move to South Seattle" list.

    People say that sometime in the early 60s, at the height of the Cold War, Boeing Field was selected as the site for a secret government project. From our vantage point, its mission, to develop a device that could freeze time, appears ridiculous and doomed to fail, like training agents to read Russian thoughts, or teaching soldiers to lift tanks with their minds. But the stories goes that they built an elaborate bunker deep underground, just south of the field. To cover the constant flow of people and matériel, an all-night diner was constructed on top of it (a Denny's no less.) They say that midnight planes began to arrive, touching down only long enough to disgorge pale strangers, who would blink under the lights on the tarmac, until faceless men would usher them into waiting sedans. And in the diner, if anyone heard the hum of buried machinery over the clatter of the plates and chatter of the friendly wait-staff, there's no record of it. Of course, there came a day when saner heads prevailed. A day when red phones rang and teletypes hummed with news to be shredded while read: the project never existed. Doors were welded shut. Elevators shafts were filled with concrete. And one by one, the midnight planes returned to bear their pale cargo away again - with the faceless men catching the last flight out. And life went on. The all-night diner eventually changed hands. The iconic hexagonal sign was changed to read "Randy's." The vaulted ceiling became a sky where squadrons of model planes swooped and dove. WiFi was even added. But no one noticed the biggest change: nothing really changed. The dark paneling and magenta and orange vinyl booths persisted. The classic menu, even the people remained. Timeless. And today, if anyone hears the hum of buried machinery over the clatter of the plates and chatter of the friendly wait-staff, there's no record of it.

    How can any place be better than a flight-themed pink and orange boothed restaurant serving really excellent breakfast food. I honestly have no idea what people eat there if it's not breakfast, but anything that may not be breakfast will not get the same endorsement. The experience of eating there regularly is one of my most cherished memories from my life in Seattle. It is the kind of place that defines Seattle and completely delivers on the promise of what it is supposed to be. I cannot imagine finding a better place to enjoy breakfast than in the dim glow of pink and orange vinyl during a rainy/gray March day in the Emerald city.

    After reading the reviews I wanted to try this place, always looking for good breakfeast places. The omlette I had was just average, definately nothing to write home about. The service was okay. The place is kind of nostalgic but doubt I will be back anytime soon.

  • Julia C.

    Randy's is always open and always awful. I am convinced it garners more stars simply because people are in awe of the florescent pink and orange booths. I say this because the food, the service, even the coffee is horrendous. I do not know how a person can screw up a club sandwich and Folgers, but Randy's did the impossible and for that I will offer them one star.

  • Amara D.

    I woke up late one morning and thought I really want some place that merges pies, model airplanes, and 1960s decor next thing I know I am at Randy's. Close to Boeing and hidden in one of those places you might never find unless you were looking, Randy's serves classic diner fair at much more reasonable prices, than Dennys or IHop... aside from the juice which was too expensive ($2.90 ???!!!). But the coffee keeps on coming and this is not a place where you are going to use splenda... seriously there were no splenda packets. In fact after adding a number of real sugar packets to my third cup of coffee I turned my eyes to the case of pies. Really think about that, a case of pies. The waitress was nice, even starting up a conversation while refilling my coffee and not even thinking about scoffing her nose at the two oddly dressed 20-somethings that had wandered into her place of employment. But most of all Randy's is something else. Like a blast from the past with none of the faux retro that always kills a good historic vibe, Randy's is officially one of my favorite low impact eateries in the Seattle area, but avoid buying the juice.

    One Saturday morning my husband and I were gearing up to run an errand in South Park, then head to IKEA. We were both hungry and thinking of a place we could have breakfast. My knowledge of this area is pretty much none, but my husband works close so he suggested Randy's. As many others have mentioned, it's like a time warp stepping into this place! The seats are vinyl and a lovely shade of hot pink and orange. I really liked the stool seats at the bar, very unique! In addition to this, the entire restaurant is decked out in Boeing/airplane memorabilia. They actually have a pretty big menu but I decided to order the Number 2, which was a scrambled egg with diced ham and hash browns and toast. The hubby got an omelet. The food was good, pretty standard diner fare. When all was said and done our bill was $17 for 2 breakfasts and 2 cups of coffee, that's A-OK by me! Our waitress was a peach as well. I'd totally come back here for breakfast again, or to try one of their sandwiches (which I hear are pretty good).

    Ok this place is the best American diner in the city. Others would get a higher review but the service, people and environment soar above the rest (heh).

    Oh Randy's. I love you. This 24-hour dive is frequented by truckers, pilots and tourists. And crusty locals who probably eat there everyday. And me. The waitresses are the most fantastic, funny, cigarette voiced, sassy ol' gals you'll ever come across. They're witty and get the job done. The decor is bright pink and orange booths, and airplane paraphernalia. The food? The best greasy spoon you're gonna find. I love their breakfasts (try the #9!), and their burgers are tasty.

  • T.J. S.

    The head-shed (senior managers) decided it would be a good idea for a morale building breakfast get together at Randy's this morning. Best idea ever! (yeah, right....) The short and the sweet for Randy's is that it's no dandy. It does have the Randy's Dandy breakfast on the menu. I laughed when one of my co-workers ordered it up! The comedy continued with no fruit being available but still displayed on the menu. My buddy ordered cantaloupe and was told they had none. Matter of fact the waitress said the only fruit they had was a can of peaches they had in the back. I'm dyin' at this point. The coffee served had a lot to do with it. We're in Seattle after all and crappy coffee must die at the state line!! Trying to get creamer was funny too! I adopted my prison routine and started rasping my prison coffee cup against the invisible cell bars humming "Sweet Chariot" I ordered 2 slices of french toast and 2 slices bacon that arrived with the "thunk" sound that a prison plate would make. Coffee (still black) and a comp cup of water. I ate hurriedly and with shifty eyes trying to anticipate where the next prison shanking would take place. LOL...well it wasn't that extreme but I did feel out of sorts. Looking around the interior at some point during the meal was interesting and took my mind off the pain (senior managers). The coolest thing was all the hanging model aircraft from different eras and the memorabilia. The surroundings were charming if you're still living in the mid-70's. The interior clearly hasn't been updated with holes rubbed bare into the carpet and some of the vinyl covering on the booths band-aided with duct tape. So what could Randy's be good for? Hmmmm?? Ah, yes! It's perfect when you're totally loaded and need to get a bite to eat in the wee hours of the morning. If you are sober than you are simply looking at shortening your life span by making this regular fare.

    Randy's, you have a piece of my heart for being open on New Years day and offering a full menu and not making two hungry ladies wait for a decent breakfast. Admittedly, it was not the best breakfast I've ever eaten, but the hot pink and orange retro decor coupled with the airplane memorabilia soothed the savage hungry beast that I can often be when I'm looking for some eggs, bacon and hashbrowns.

    DON'T TAKE YOUR KIDS EVER!! I had to give it a star to review...I wish I could have given NO star, but I'll go ahead and say the star was for the nice server and thats it. Scene: Husband, myself, two year old boy and 5 month old baby girl enter the Flashback to the 70's Sambo's. My son is a very friendly boy who says hi and LOVES airplanes. The decor of Randy's is airplanes everywhere. The Blue Angels are right next door at this time and my son can't get enough. So he makes the loud Blue Angles noise. There might have been about 4 other people in the Restaurant all at the average age of 70. My son was making the noise and the owner, a bitter old broad said, "be quiet!" to my son. So we tried to get him to be quieter. Do you have a 2 year old? Good luck. So she comes BACK to us and says, "can you keep him quiet?" I said I was trying and that we would go ahead and take our food to go since we didn't feel welcome. The server was nice as punch, but the bitter old owner was RUDE. My husband kept his cool and took my son out to the car. I was putting our daughter back into her car seat and then the owner and their scary cook started yelling at us!! "go to Sherries, etc." I was appalled at this behavior. I kept my manners, but then told them to keep their food I would pay for the drinks only because we had those. She was still trying to charge me for the food. I let her know I was NOT going to pay for it. She had the nerve to ask, " What do you expect me to do with it?" I told her to put it in her cooks mouth as it seemed big enough to fit. We've never been asked to leave anywhere (and we choose to leave, we did not get asked to go). My husband made a comment in regards to us running their biz off, so then the ol' owner said, You ran my 80 year old customer out! LOL...so you mean ol' Joe who maybe buys a cup of coffee and sits for 5 hours is going to keep your place afloat?? And don't let the photos fool you, the ceiling is so dingy I'm amazed that it passes health codes, and don't dare go to the lady's bathroom!!

    This place is not too shabby....its kind of in a deserted spot...south of boeing field..so i get the idea, that only locals or boeing workers know of it.... Just a little diner..remind me of the show "alice" and mels diner...the staff shoots from the hip...no nosense, but still friendly.... i came in here at 4.30 in the morning on a saturday morning...and got the eggs and bacon....with a side of people watching.....food was solid, and the people watching even better.... If this place was closer to the city...greenwood, cap hill, ne seattle, ect...they would be packed i think...a classic throwback to old seattle... i like it...i i will be back

    When I was growing up in Maine the only 24 hour joint within an hours drive was a Dennys and I have fond memory of coffee and pancakes there at 2am, when there's nothing else to do but drink coffee and stay up all night. Randy's is a short drive from Georgetown and provides the same sort of dive restaurant bosom to to snuggle up to in the middle of the night. To love Randy's you have mostly have to prefer the dive, which I do. But it's got so much character to go with it, which is what makes a great dive great. All those model airplanes and other flight memorabilia makes you feel like you're in your grandfather's den and he's telling you stories from the good ol' days. This one time, my grandfather flew to Canada to see his cousin and since it was before widespread telephone use he had circle to over her house, cut the engine, and yell out the window of the plane to her to tell her to meet him at the airport. True story!

    I stumbled in here all alone one day when my car broke down and I had no cell phone on hand. There was a big sign outside that said TELEPHONE. I wandered in and asked where the pay phone was located. "oh we pulled that out awhile ago" said a seemingly pleasant manager/waitress. So I asked very nicely if I could use the phone at the front counter. I explained my problem and said I would be just a minute. The woman looked at me and hesitated for SEVERAL embarrassing moments and slowly said "well, I'm not so sure" . I was mortified. The few diners in the room were all watching and I felt like a big lump of shiite. I offered to buy something and she again hesitated and thankfully, then a kindly man offered me the use of his cell phone. I got in touch with my party and had to wait about 45 minutes. It was a cold, rainy day and I was sure they would kick me out so I immediately sat down and ordered some tea. It was fine for diner fare. I am appalled that anyone would treat a stranded person in need so shabbily. A big F*&% YOU to Randy's!

    Open 24 hours. Period. Waitress was great handling our large group. She took our picture twice - once with our camera and once with her own camera. Yeah...her own camera.

    Been back a few more times. The waitresses are great. Really friendly, but to the point and love giving a little attitude. The food won't blow your mind, but it certainly isn't bad and the atmosphere is just too good to pass up.

    Randy's.... I usually find myself coming to Randy's between 3 and 6 am. They are one of the few 24 hour dinner type places left in the Seattle area. Randy's get 5 stars because it is a piece of Americana and I truly enjoy the quirky experience of dining here. The food is nothing to write home about. I generally stick to the bacon and egg dishes since those are pretty hard to screw up. If you complain about the food at Denny's, don't like greasy spoons, and are an all around picky person don't go to Randy's. If eating greasy food at 3am surrounded by model airplanes hanging from the ceiling sounds good to you then come to Randy's. Some other things to note: 1. There is a map in the corner of the dinning area that take up the entire wall and tracked someone's around-world flight. 2. They sell ad space on their coffee mugs. 3. They have lots of aviation related books a trade rags to read. 4. I have always found the staff to be very friendly and tolerant. 5. They have a coffee bar, Denny's style. This is usually where I sit if I am there to read for a while. 6. This place looks like it used to be a Denny's judging by the decor and the shape of the sign outside.

    It's 24 hours and not a Denny's or Shari's. The food is standard diner food. There are pretty awesome model airplanes everywhere. If you need late-night food and are anywhere near by, it's the best option.

  • Barbara M.

    It's the diner-est place around! DH and I both woke up super early and super hungry and decided to venture out to Randy's. The visual picture is everything you've imagined after reading the other reviews: a mash up of 60s era Denny's and airplane museum. It's a little shabby, but clean. Our host was also our server (too early for the wait staff I guess) and also an ex-service member, judging from the tattoo. Breakfast was good solid diner fare. My chicken fried steak was tender on the inside and crispy on the outside. Husband said his corned beef hash was great, and his orange juice tasted fresh squeezed. My only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that the coffee is very diner-ish also. That might fly elsewhere, but I expect better in Seattle.

  • John E.

    24 hours! It's a converted Denny's from the early 70's and has not changed one bit. The sign is a bit damaged, so from the north it seems like a closed restaurant once named Ranay's. But lo and behold, there's a waitress in there who's been on shift since 1973. So it must be open. It's just south of the Museum of Flight. The place feeds the Boeing crews... the fat ones. They've got big models of planes dangling overhead. They have and old staff riddled with ADD. It's like a time warp - where's my Elvis shades? And they play KIXI 880 am, so it's Dionne Warwick belting out "Promises, Promises" on two consecutive visits. At 4am, that sticks in your head real bad.

    (4)

  • John M.

    Yep. It is a converted old Denny's, but it still has some of its old charm from the '50's. And there sure is an old Aircraft industry decor to the place. Models of many aircraft hang from the ceiling, and pictures from the many years that the Navy Blue Angels have eaten there during their stay in Seattle for Seafair are lined up on the wall. Vintage waitress' like "Ol' Number 7" will give a little sass and an occasional joke along with quick efficient service. The menu is traditional American fare (right out of the '50s), but the food is fresh and good. The bacon is crisp and not too greasy, and the pancakes are the size of dinner plates and cooked to perfection. They are open 24 hours a day which makes Randy's popular with the police officers from the local jurisdictions and a great place to get pie and coffee in the middle of the night.

  • Rob J.

    Randy's is housed in a former Denny's. Diner food. The only place I can find that still fries chicken the old fashioned way. And have a slice of pie for dessert! Your kids will be open mouthed at all the model planes hanging from the ceiling! Considering it's is down the street from the Museum of flight and the Boeing COmpany, this makes it a natural! So spend the day at the museum and walk sown the street- you will not be sorry. It aint fancy but the food and the service is good.

    Well, my boyfriend and I had a pretty disappointing experience here a few days ago. We came in after I got off work (I work overnights and get off between 8-9 am), and we both ordered dinner items. To me, it wasn't weird because I had been up all night, but the waitress acted like it was a big deal. She seemed pretty ruffled about us ordering dinner at 10:30 am. The waitress didn't try to make any kind of conversation with us (there were hardly any people in there) and she was quite short with us all together. My boyfriend said his burger (Randy's B-52 burger with buffalo meat) and chocolate malt shake were good. I was stupid and got veal parmigiana, when I know better at places like this. I probably should've gotten breakfast. Anyway it was really bland and the spaghetti it came with was cold and rubbery. The garlic bread was good though. We wanted dessert but the waitress plopped our check down when she delivered our food and never once came back to check on us, refill water (they had been empty since before she brought our food), or ask if we wanted dessert. We haven't had crappy service like this in a LONG time- we are excellent tippers and the places we frequent know that!

    Randy's has been my weekend breakfast spot for nearly ten years. The decor, the time warp, the staff and the aviation themed decor and pink and orange 1960's booths...They all kick ass. Simple food that does the trick.

    A serious time warp trip. I am so down with the orange and pink decor, especially the wagon wheels. We went on New Year's Eve a few years ago and I've been meaning to review this place ever since. We showed up after 12am and our waitress was hilarious, bitching about the cook staff and hanging out with us cracking jokes. I had the grilled cheese sandwich and fries (probably the most processed cheese ever) but it was absolutely perfect. Great place to take friends who can handle it.

    There are many things I love about Randy's, beyond it's ever so slightly dirty name. I love that not only does it have model airplanes hanging from the grimy smoke stained ceiling, but it has a list of all the donors...whom I like to imagine are many of the retirees gracing the booths throughout the day. I love its garish orange and hot pink vinyl booths, a color combination seen all too rarely while eating. And I love the fact that I never, ever, not once had to wait to get a table on a weekend. Oh...and that the waitress can make my uncle blush. Definitely a bonus. Everything you could want from a greasy spoon.

    I was headed to the Museum of Flight with my little nephew and niece and stopped here for lunch ahead of time. It was absolutely perfect. The waitress was extremely nice and helpful with the kids, the food was just what I would expect at a Diner, the airplanes hanging from the ceiling and walls were entrancing for the kids. There is a touch of real history, not just camp, that makes this place extra special. And the old Denny's decor is really something to behold.

    Ya know when that song comes on the radio, the one you hadn't heard in years? It instantly strikes a memory and takes you back to a specific time or place. As soon as I sat down in the back of Randy's, the smell reminded me of when I use to do water damage clean up and mold remediation. My wife, 2 year old son and my 16 yr old nephew and I were headed to the Museum next door and wanted to grab a bite. Yes the model airplanes hangin from the ceiling are cool. the 30 year old duct taped vinyl booths are more appealing than the old leather skinned ladys with mouths like truckers (these are the employees). We got our grub then the shouting and four letter words started flying. Our waitress was flyin off the handle because her co - worker didn't make coffee... She made a huge seen over it. Later she felt she had to explain her life story to us, the more she talked the faster the "Tip meter" went to ZERO. Not professional, ok food, my OJ didn't taste right. overall crap experience.... Save yourself the hassle, eat a frozen hot pocket from the gas station down the road and have diarrhea... its a better experience and your 2 yr old wont repeat what he heard.

    WARNING- you must go to this place with a sense of humor! It is kind of a dive and the waitresses are salty and sassy. I think it used to be a Denny's about 30 years ago. It is an experience in of itself. The food is your average diner fare: greasy spoon. I recommend getting the breakfast dishes such as the hash or get the British Burger for lunch. They have crinkly fries!

    I wish I could have rated this restaurant higher. I loved the atmosphere. Model airplanes are hung everywhere and the restaurant attracts locals who appreciate them. Service is freindly and the food is good. Be aware that the kitchen can get overwhelmed and you will wait for your order but there is enough going on that you may not notice or care. There is one issue that the owner needs to address. It is clear that there has been minimal reinvestment in this restaurant. Duct tape to repair vinyl just doesn't cut it. I love the idea of keeping the decor in a time warp but you can do that and still make the place seem clean and in repair. I'm glad I went, especially since I was going to visit the Museum of Flight right after. Good but hardly worth the lable "Best".

    This place is such an experience. There are definitely better breakfasts in town food wise, but there is nothing like this place. It is right next to Boeing, so there's all these random model airplanes hanging from the ceiling. The booths are old 1960s-70s. The cushions are neon pink and orange. Everything is done in dark wood. There's these trippy psychedelic asterisk looking things everywhere. Then there's Karen. Karen is 70 if she's a day and I bet she's been waiting tables there for 30 years. She has this fantastic bouffant hair, long fingernails, and a feisty attitude. We don't come in often but she always remembers us (probably since we often tip her 100%) She's nice to us but only tolerates the other customers, and only if they're nice. One time we came in right before I was headed out of town to go do some ornithological research. We told her this and her response was "Birds? Like these?" and extended both her middle fingers. Awesome.

    I love a good dive! Randy's is hands-down my favorite diner in the city and also my favorite 24-hour joint. It's also where I like to take friends from out of town. I swear the sign IS an old Denny's sign, and one side of it is broken so it reads "Ranay's". The inside is a psychedelic nightmare of orange and fuschia starbursts, with matching frosted glass windows separating the booths. But the best part is the aeronautical theme. Elaborate, painstakingly handcrafted models of various aircraft hang from the ceiling, including a war helicopter and a really gorgeous stained wood bi-plane. A waitress told me that most of them were made by customers and donated to Randy's! They really are works of art. The Jet-City theme continues with yellowed posters of local fliers, and even the menu features Microsoft Word clip-art of airplanes and a "B-52 Burger" (which is as delicious as it sounds!). The place is a favorite of local law enforcement, who can be found dining there in large groups at four in the morning. Don't even try to sit at the huge booth all the way in the back, as it's reserved for them. My favorite server there actually has a nametag that reads "Old Number 7", after the Jack Daniels label; she cracks dirty jokes (I mean OBSCENE) and doesn't take any lip from anybody. I love Randy's; it's vintage working-class Seattle, with decent diner food for dirt cheap.
