Patty Pan Grill

What started out as a good experience quickly turned painfully bad due to an unexpected event; but, due to the kindness and generosity of the owner, has turned around… again. I would recommend them and will return

We went to the one at the Ballard farmers market. We had to give them our order five times. They kept saying the wrong thing back to us. On top of that, they were rude and condescending. The veggie plate is not terribly great. We will no longer be giving them our money.

Can I give a 3.5 stars? I gave a 4 but felt that was a little too high.
Ate at their neighborhood kitchen in Shoreline. The food is good and very fresh. They list the ingredients and what farm they came from which I think is pretty cool. They have a «Humble Feast» every Monday night.
Buy your tickets online and in advance for $ 10 or you pay $ 12 at the door.

Enjoyed a quesadilla and tamale special at the stand at Jubilee Farms, which they are at during the weekends in October. We always enjoy the quesadilla with all the veggies and this year the tamale special with squash and caramelized onions was amazing. We love that they alway have several veggie options.

Just had their pork and beef tamales! Amazing, but can do without the grilled vegetables. The most spicy hot sauce they had isn’t anywhere hot enough for me, but my friend said it was too spicy for her, so know your limits. Don’t be scared away by the low reviews and go try them for yourself — nothing better than hot tamales on a cold, winter day!

I had the veggie quesadillas, and I can totally see how you wouldn’t like it if you didn’t like kale and beets, but if you do love those veggies, these are fabulous. The tortilla is packed with delicious grilled veggies that retain their flavor without any of the bitterness. If you like veggies and cheese… and tortillas, then give this a chance.

This review is for their Ballard Market location.
First, we love the Ballard market, lots of great products and people. I noticed Patty Pan’s sandwich board sign that offered «Hot Tamales». I thought I would give them a try. The young man that took my order looked either hypnotized or just awakened from a five year nap. Absolutely no personality or energy. I ordered a bean tamale and my partnered ordered grilled veggies. The veggies tasted horrendous, like someone took a leftover dinner salad and threw it on a grill. We tossed it. Regarding my tamale, (after I paid for it) a young woman handed me a little plate with two small tamales and told me they ran out of the adult size so she gave me two kids tamales. I thought it might have been nice if they asked me first so I might have selected something else. I went to the table where they keep their sauces and there was a woman next to me asking them to refill their hot sauce bottle. She was told in a rude manner that they were out and to try one of the others. She wasnt thrilled. I put some green salsa on my tamales. First, the baby tamales were partially cold and partially warm, very dry, crusty on the edges. Oh, and by the way, they had NO FLAVOR WHATSOEVER! I tried to put more salsa on the little buggers and all it did was make them wet and tasteless.

This is a review of the stand they run at farmer’s markets:
Nice people, but, I got so sick from my veggie quesadilla. So very, very sick. Also, it just wasn’t very good? Kale and beets with cheddar cheese isn’t exactly a great quesadilla.
Maybe other items aren’t so bad, and like I said, they are nice people. I hope that you have better luck, should you decide to eat there.

Havent been to the patty pan grill, but have had the patty pan at the area farmers market. Its amazing to watch them grill up all those vegetables. There always seems to be a line waiting. Recently had them at the broadway market, much enjoyed my vegan tamale. That is something you can’t find too many places and so delicious. I also love that food is half off for the unemployed, what a great socially concious thing to do. I hope people dont take too much advantage of it. I also got a free meal here for joining vegetarians of washington. Another great thing to do. All the other ones were buy 1 get 1 free, this one was totally free. I enjoy the salsa options they have as well. Its always nice to find something out of the ordinary. I did have to wait quite awhile for my vegan tamale, but they did tell me in advance and were super busy grilling up vegetables. Yum and seems like a healthy option.
