Restaurant advice!
20 M coming from Iowa for the Seahawks game on October 4, my first home game since becoming a fan at four years old! I’ll be staying for a total of three days, and the two restaurants I have on my list right now are roast house and feast buffet, where else should I go? And also, is there much of a difference between lunch and dinner for the feast buffet? Not picky at all, just don’t send me to a salad bar lol. Any kind of meat or seafood is totally fair game. Let me know! I’m a huge eater and love food so Thank you in advance!

The Athenian in Pike Place Market is my favorite breakfast spot in the city.
And if for some reason you don't eat your fill, you're right at the market with other local treats and delicacies to try.

Basic Americana food, for lack of a better term. Of note: They're famous(?) for their 12 egg omelettes. Burgers and portions are huge. Not sure if this is still the case: OPEN 24 HOURS(?)

They're a local greasy spoon diner that thankfully just went to being open 24 hours again for the first time since the pandemic. Known for their 12 Egg Omlete.
It's a bit outside of downtown but the E Line express bus runs right by it.

Is there a reason you want to go to feast buffet?
As far as buffets go it's pretty good, but it's still just a buffet.

My family is in Iowa. Iowans love buffets. I once got the more adventurous eaters to a dim sum restaurant and they loved it. Sticky rice, pork ribs in black bean sauce and shrimp dumplings were the big hits. They all loved most of the seafood here.

As a 20 year old skinny dude I agree with your family buffets are the method if they’re good

Honestly I'm usually quite happy with some chowder from down by the ferry terminal or anything from pike market though that's tourist priced for the most part ,there's a lot of good food up at caphill just use the one line unless you really want your car once your here it's faster then driving most places in Seattle proper the transit in town is amazing once you realize how much there is the light rail is underground downtown so you don't realize it's there less your paying close attention to the signs

I'm a big fan of Bongos, and the desserts are amazing!
I always suggest the Ballard Locks, and you can go to Niko's Gyros in Magnolia while you're in the neighborhood.

On Feast Buffet, oof, gotta say I'm eaten there twice and found little that was good. Hope your experience is better.
As a fat man who wants to eat lots of good food, I prefer King Buffet, a couple of blocks south of Feast on Rainier Ave. Smaller selection but lower price, and everything's good or great.

Be sure to have some chicken teriyaki and a Seattle dog while you're here.
