This whole place is a mood, I like how it is decorated inside and the outside area is huge with a nice big fire pit (hello summer hangouts)! The stuffed mushrooms make a great appetizer (they have a kick) and the loaded tots make a great meal despite being an appetizer. The burgers are huge , tasty but will put you in a food coma. Service was good , food can came out quick and no eye rolling when asked to split the bill!

PLEASE READ: I only write big reviews when something really rips me out of my chair. Just like you and everyone else on Yelp; I am a massive food snob. Fun Fact: I am a really good cook, culinary school, the whole nine. I am a Chef, but don't hold a hot pan in a kitchen and run an executive menu, so really I am a cook. An accomplished cook, but I don't put the badge on myself, because I don't deserve it. But I know when a restaurant has a solid executive chef or executive cook who has put together a killer menu thru trial and error, and has the line popping with dishes to make a restaurant glow with an appetite. When I go out to eat, it's not that I can't make this type of food(a lot of times I can't) it's also that I want to be served on, and have a wonderful experience. Anyone who owns a restaurant will tell you that It's not just the food. It's the staff and the ambience, The interior, the cleanliness from the bathroom the menus,the smells from the kitchen,music, greeting at the door: The Whole Vibe. The Hollywood Tavern. I walk in and it has some really good Country/Folk music and the vibe was uplifting and cheerful. Immediately, I recognized the staff are a family... And they are a well oiled machine. Picking up for one another and everyone has each other's backs. Bad can be a cancer and can ruin your business by sending that vibe to the customers. Very, very important to have a killer work team. I order a John Daly, and yes it's hard to fuck up a Vodka, Ice Tea & Lemonade... But dam, Eriban the bartender did something to it, that made it magic. Now this place has my attention. Hailey, my server comes up to my girlfriend and I, and just has this extremely bright and loving soul, is very engaging and tells me while nothing on the menu is bad, I should try the stuffed mushrooms and Lamb burger. I let the universe put my order in Hailey's hands and MY GOD DID THE UNIVERSE ANSWER!!! These Stuffed mushrooms ‍ were LIGHTS OUT! She took the menu away so I didn't even see what was in them as I went into my meal blind, but the mystery of how they were prepared has me scratching my head. I do know that there is Parmesan on them. The Stuffed Mushrooms were 5 STARS Then the Lamb Burger. Hailey explained the texture to me(pro server attention-most servers forget this one- But Hailey didn't) as there are brussel sprouts thinly cut and fried with a dash of salt to give the burger a soft bun to crisp crackle and a killer char on the lamb. (Also, this restaurant has VERY HIGH QUALITY MEAT, It's very apparent compared to your other burger joint down the street) Lamb Burger: 5 STARS Here is the best part circling back around from what I said at the beginning with a restaurant being a vibe and the staff. Eriban and Benny are the bartenders. Two cultured men with big smiles and engaging energy, they are serious about their craft in spirits and even more serious about your happiness. The kind of bartenders where if you are the owners of the restaurant, and you fired them, your business will fail. Told them about my plans to go to Mexico and they explained how they have places down in Talum Quintana Roo and that I can stay there whenever I want. These guys speak perfect english, spanish and put a smile on my face with their conversation and world experiences as the country music plays in the background. Mind you, I just met these guys... But that's how badass and awesome they are! From Hailey recommending those dam stuffed mushrooms to the Lamb Burger with crispy thin slices of fried brussel sprout, to Eriban and Benny wiping down bottles and laughing with the bar while country music is playing in the background; THE HOLLYWOOD TAVERN delivered!!! 5 STAR REVIEW

Food was absolutely fantastic highly recommend visiting very clean great service and an absolutely fantastic price we ordered fish and chips and brussels sprouts, with bacon hands down fantastic very beautiful location definitely great atmosphere Mac was are server highly recommend

Always come here when wine tasting - great, elevated pub food. The fried pickles are my favorite. And always great service. This time from Mariah, who was awesome!

Sam was absolutely amazing. Handled our group of 30 amazingly. She slayed that. Also drinks were fire. But the service made it an 11/10. would recommend!!!

This was our first time here and they did NOT disappoint! Our waiter / server was the perfect touch and he made us feel so comfortable! His name was "Mack or Mac" and he was knowledgeable, genuine, friendly and made some very honest suggestions about the selections there. The chicken and waffle was their special that just started today and it was stuffed with ham and cheese, with the spicy chicken on top, alongside a Kale and lemony salad. I would have NEVER put those ingredients together, but kudos to the chef for being creative and not missing on that recipe. I ordered the other special to go "Braised Beef Grilled Cheese" for my daughter and I'm looking forward to coming back over time to try the entire menu! For appetizers, we had the fried pickles and they were delicious and they even seasoned/garnished the ranch dressing! There was also a buffalo dressing on the side and it was so good. In addition, we had the grilled sour dough and cheese dip and wowwwwww!!!!!! The sourdough collaboration with the cheese was a perfect pair! I like that the restaurant was not huge like Cheesecake Factory and also love that the portions were not out of control. It's nice to just enjoy a meal without the theatrics of the restaurant trying to turn as many tables as possible and make as much money as they can. It is very obvious that the owners goal is to provide good food, a great environment and an overall top tier experience. The BEST food I've had since living in Seattle has been in Woodinville (#1) and Ballard (#2). Me and my son talked about this place the whole ride home and may even come back tomorrow! Thank you Mack for welcoming us and showing us a great experience at Hollywood Tavern!

They have Poutine! They call it Loaded Tavern Fries. It's a pile of hand cut fries with quality crumbled cheese, bacon and a bold homemade gravy. Delicious! The Charred Brussel Sprouts were flavorful. The Hollywood Burger add bacon and caramelized onions is great nice and thick. Mabel's Cajun Chicken Sandwich was pretty good and huge. The Orval Belgian Ale was not good, it tasted like a cow pasture. The Stoup Red Ale was pretty good.

My bartender/server was wonderful. The cocktail he made me was delicious and he was very friendly. Price is a little high, but the patio is so cute and the firepit provides such a good vibe I will definitely come back. My only suggestion to the business is to make the bar area dog friendly. Everyone in Seattle has dogs and sitting outside is usually too rainy or cold.

Always amazing food. We are more than willing to drive from Federal Way to Woodinville for the brussels. Fast and friendly service. This tavern is small looking but can fit a lot of people. Chill vibes

The best part about Hollywood Tavern is definitely the vibes and atmosphere. I'd go here 10/10 times. The food may not knock my socks off, but it's still solid. What really makes this place stand out is the fantastic atmosphere, excellent service, and great drinks. These elements more than make up for any shortcomings (not many) in the food department. If you're looking for a place with a great ambiance to relax and enjoy a good meal and drinks, Hollywood Tavern is the spot. Highly recommended for the overall experience!
