This is an awesome cafe with genuine soul, good food, french fries made from actual potatoes, way great malts and reasonable prices. No, the wait staff aren't going to break an ankle or slip a disk to take your order -- that's why there are all those cool books at every table. Kick back, relax and you'll get better service. Act like some spoiled Californian and/or an overprivileged Microsoftie and you're likely to be perceived as an evil alien...and rightly so. If you're looking for mediocre, overpriced food, canned ambiance and brisk service, wait in line at any Chili's or Olive Garden. It was a free country last time I checked. You want cookie-cutter service? Go elsewhere. Twede's is the yardstick against which all of restaurant reality is measured.
Pros: Honest, good food, good value for $
Cons: Might attract people who are better off in Bellevue
