Bramling Cross - Seattle

Bramling Cross is a local restaurant in Ballard that has a mix of food, with an emphasis on sandwiches. They have a decent sized menu and prices are decent but portions are pretty big. Their drinks are poured very well, their staff is friendly and they have a good amount of seating inside and outside. There is very little parking around here, so be prepared to walk, and they do close earlier in the night so make sure to arrive in the early evening. Their wagyu meatball sandwich is amazing!

Restaurant week strikes again. Fried chicken collared greens banging burgers pickled fries fabulous desserts and on point apps.

Updated: still an awesome place for gatherings with friends or family. My previous review was posted 2 years ago and still one of the best places to grab a bite with friends and family. I got the double jeopardy burger special and it was fantastic. Bring your appetite. I didn't order any appetizers this time. But I was really full. 2 years ago: Amazing Ethan Stowell restaurant. You must have the Osso Bucco and the Dynamite chicken. Absolutely amazing and a generous portion. The fried chicken is a whole chicken so it is great for sharing. The rest of the menu does not disappoint. The other starters I have had are all very good. My favorite was the crab dip and the chicken liver patte. I have visited this restaurant several times and my experience was great every time. Great restaurant for a date or large groups. Nice selection of beer and wine. Ask your server for recommendations. They are very knowledgeable. Bring your appetite!!

Bramling Cross is an upbeat and festive gastropub. The definition of a gastropub is 'a pub that specializes in serving high-quality food. ' Well, that 's exactly what you can expect here. We have had a number of wonderful meals and drinks at this Ballard hot spot. Just the other night we had a great holiday meal that included cod and a rib eye steak. And, to top it off, we had the bartender 's recommendation, 'Merry Mischief, ' a light scotch drink with just the right balance of sweetness. Bravo! The atmosphere is upbeat. The service is exceptional.

Bottom line up front: Another great Ethan Stowell restaurant that combines the best of many worlds from homemade pasta to bar food snacks to southern fried chicken. Great restaurant and great menu. Good selection of cocktails and beer. Big space, but limited seating that can fill up quite quickly during happy hours and weekends. The food is diverse. You can snack on bar food from pretzels, wings, and fries, etc. You can have a nice piece of grilled coho or chicken. You can sample Ethan Stowell's homemade pappardelle. The options are endless which makes this place great. The most impressive option, however, is the dynamite chicken. This stuff was money. I 100% recommend getting this with the biscuit it's served with. I also got it spicy and got a side of honey to dip in. The combo was incredible. Plenty of options for anyone you choose to bring here. Would definitely recommend this place!
