Route 522 Taproom The 522

Very nice place for lunch. Good bar and selection of beer taps. The owner is very nice and friendly. The food is delicious and the portion sizes are very good. They had sports on the TV and the music was at a good level. Would recommend this place for a good meal and a beer.

We arrive around 6 p.m. and were pleasantly surprised it wasn't overcrowded. The food was great, and the beer cold. We tried the Mac & Cheese, Napoleon salad and bacon-wrapped dates . There was ample parking. The service was quick and friendly. I'd go back. ...

522 Taproom. That’s all you need to know on January 1, 2024. 522 Taproom. What makes this establishment exceptional and one of a kind? The owners work there! Imagine that! The chef, his wife, his adult kids - they got skin in the game. They care. It shows everywhere. I’m so tired of being served but mostly forgotten. A chef and owner visiting your table? Asking questions? Having a conversation? It doesn’t get any better. Unless his life partner is your server! New Year’s Eve we went for a 8 mile walk and wanted something special before an evening party. The tomahawk with lobster and veggies. Out of this world. Then the chef came by to check on us. Found us very happy. Explained the difference between this massive steak and others. And we asked more questions. To a chef! The vibe here is so different. Tables spread out. People saying hello to the family. Everybody feeling very special, engaged, and well-served. Remember the days when owners cared about their business and their customers? I worked as a server for Bellagio with Chef Genaro opening day and he literally asked his servers and his guests how their meal was. Then he opened a 5-star restaurant in LA because he brought that level of intimacy with his guests. And 522 Taproom is the same. Totally differentiated. Totally excellent meal, service and atmosphere. Happy New Year, to all and to the wonderful family of 522 Taproom.

The moment I walked in, I had a good feeling about this place. The welcoming atmosphere anddelicious smells were just a preamble for what I will say was in the top 2 burgers I have ever had in my life! A unique take on modifying the standard American burger goes a long way. The other items on their menu also looks absolutely scrumptious. I'll be back and I'll be bringing my friends with me.

The location is a bit out there but totally worth it! Seems like a family run place, they are lovely! Great beer and cider collection, never disappoints! We ordered chef's salad and burger, both were great! Definitely going back and suggest a visit!

Hidden gem in Woodinville! Wonderful owners, great service and food. We ate lunch here midweek and it was not very busy. The Crab Sandwich was fantastic and the Prime Rib dip was very good too. We will definitely be coming back to eat here.

The restaurant was almost empty when I visited the restaurant at 4PM on weekday. It was a perfect timing for me to be able to take several pictures inside the restaurant so I can share with my googlers. Route 522 taproom opened a couple months ago. As it's very new, they tried a cool technology - providing a tablet to allow customers to browse and order a drink menu and to sign up a founder's club membership and so on. I ordered a half size of Nachos. It was only 6 but the portion and the quality of nachos was outstanding. I have no doubt that it was the best nachos I've ever had in my entire life. They applied two different sauces along with good enough melted cheese and toppings. It was a perfect harmony overall. Although I didn't order a beer because of the time I visited the restaurant (too early to drink), I will definitely come back soon to get another nachos with their beers.

Really a great family owned amd operated establishment. These types of places are typically a favorite as I do like to support locally. The food was really amazing amd absolutely huuuge portions. We have enough leftovers for two days. The place was literally packed to the brim and even with only 4 employees including the owner, his lovely wife and daughter and another young man, they were able to serve around 200 2 to 3 coarse dinners in a matter of about 3.5 hrs. Mardini was the ONLY cook in the kitchen hes like super human or something, im blown away. Mardini, the owner and his wife and their daughter, came out and greeted us and customers and our kids really thought that was cool. They even offered for us to come back and have the kids help make a dessert in the kitchen. It is for these reasons I highly recommend visiting. This family is pretty amazing, the food was amazing
