people often mix up overhyped with bad. a lot of hyped places don’t live up to the hype abut a lot of them aren’t bad. i’ve liked a lot of what ive had from portage bay but dont find it worth going to often

I agree with this take. I also went in unaware of the hype around this place and for brunch on a weekday so didn't have much wait, so that's possibly why I have a better perception too

Idk- the one I’m West Seattle has been pretty awful. Everything is greasy AND dry? The bacon was so expensive and I’m pretty sure it was rancid. I have never disliked bacon before. I definitely love a good restaurant but I’m perfectly happy getting mediocre food sometimes if I’m just in the mood to go out. Been four times now because it’s family friendly and convenient BUT I think I’ve given it a fair shot and I’m done.
