Miners Landing

Came by here during winter and construction. I was happy there was some food spots open up top b/​c we really didn’t want to do the seafood places that day. The burger spot was okay. The boys had double burgers. My teen said it made his top 5 burger list. Hmmmm It sure looked good. The chicken sandwich my daughter had looked awesome but she devoured it. I had a corn dog. It wasn’t great. It was a corndog. But they were generous with the fries. No refills on drinks. Overall it was ok. There was a fish/​chips place and pizza place open as well. The views are great. Right beside the Great Wheel if you have friends going up and you want to just watch.
There are shops here but we didn’t have time to walk through it all. We look forward to the future with no construction to come back and check it all out.

Well this is where all the restaurants or food are located. There is a carousel inside. Other than that, I have nothing to say about this place.
I don’t recommend going inside to use the washroom. Its a long wait and are usually not that clean.

I came here for the fist time with my family. The food was good very delicious. We ate right next to the great wheel. The only problem is they only have two bathrooms. The one in the fist floor had a long line almost to the outside doors. We went to the one on the second floor. There was a line there but not as big as the fist floor. A man came into the women’s bathroom. I am not kidding he walked in and got in line like he belonged there. It was so creepy we got out of there.

Miners Landing is a vintage waterfront original. There is always something to do here: including a carousel, many restaurants and the recently added Ferris wheel (observation pod) you can’t be bored!
The three stars come down to the following:
Cleanliness
Poor care for the building
Massive construction (which is not the businesses fault, but causes a lot of stress to the patrons)

This place brings a certain nostalgia when I visited recently. It kind of reminds me of an indoor carnival.
It seems like a neat place to spend the afternoon but it was so chaotic in here! I felt like no matter where I was, there was a stampede of people trying to get up and down the stairs, to stores, to the eats found inside, and not to mention the long and slow moving line to the ladies bathroom.
This place is worth checking out. It’s friendly for all ages but I’d you have a baby I recommend you leave the stroller because it was crowded! There are several shops and several places to eat as well. The kiddos and adults alike can enjoy a ride on the carousel (conveniently inside the building). Enjoy the ambiance! You’ll truly feel like you’re in the big top. It’s a circus in here!

Something about coming here on a weeknight makes it a little creepy. There weren’t big crowds and all stores look like they were closed. The restaurants looked old and unwelcoming. Hopefully, we just came on a bad night. I’m sure this spot can be a lot better on the weekends or during a nice day.

Located just below the ferris wheel on the head of a pier, Miners Landing is a scenic pick just in the heart of touristst interest. There is both inside and outside seating available, but outside on the patio is the much better choice if weather permits.
The inside is rather dark and with it’s maritime wooden flaire gives you a somewhat cosy feeling, which is actually not the one you are looking for at an spot on the waterfront with superb views outside. These views however are there, too, but only behind the limited window front and behind all the outside gear on the patio. This is the place — on the patio — where you should be. Even though the views are obstructed with a glass barrier that will reduce the wind chill, you still have the much nicer scenery and broader.
The menu offers the typical variety of seafood classics, some salads and meats and a quite extensive drink menu with a lo of vines and local beers.
We just stayed for a beer and a cup of clam chowder. The beer — a local Hefeweizen — was really nice, the clam chowder good average. Basically it was the food quality level you would expect in such a place: ok, without any reason to complain, but also nothing special, one would long for.
Three stars from my point of view for an average effort in a neat location. I would have preferred not to have the glass around me with an open, unobstructed view on the sound and the landscape.

So long for a little while, Miners Landing and the rest of the tourist trap collective! Been here so many times and never connected this arcade with a name! The video games are already cleared out for the big renovation of the seawall. I will especially miss the boules from the Alaska Sourdough Company and the carousel. It was jammed wall to wall people this last Saturday. Can imagine only more of the same today.

Probably one of the best stand alone arcades in the Seattle area! The machines for the most part are old school with some pinball machines. There is also a mix of newer machines like the shooting games and dancing games that allow you to win tickets. But like other arcades you of course pay for way more than what the stuff there is worth. I like the overall setting there is a gift shop and merry go round in the arcade! This is truly an awesome place and I hope that it stays open for more years to come! The overall setting is very fisherman and Seattle like with the floors being made out of authentic wood. The Ferris Wheel of Seattle is just right outside the building and there are docks on the side that allow you to stand around and take pictures. I really like this place and I hope to take my kids here someday!

Pier 57 is home to Miners Landing, which is the building that houses all of the businesses. It’s the same pier with the Ferris wheel.
ATMOSPHERE:
The building is reminiscent of an old millhouse/​wild west building/​log cabin. The exterior is decorated with colorful signs which stirs your curiosity and forces you to go in and look around. The interior continues with the same theme with wood from floor to ceiling, old photos and faux animal head mounts.
It houses several restaurants including The Crab Pot where we ate lunch, a small mix of shops and an arcade with carousel at the end.
As far as parking, I saw some street parking and some pay lots across the way.

Love this little place, theres a cute little arcade with a merry go round, and its so fun too! Great place to visit and stop by if you have kids or are on a date! Right next to the new ferris wheel, so play some games and have fun riding the ferris wheel here especially on a beautiful sunny day! Fair priced for fair food too! $ 2.50 for a carousel ride and adults are free with a child under 42 inches
