Oddfellows Cafe and Bar is a restaurant in Seattle's Capitol Hill neighborhood, in the United States.[1]
The American/New American restaurant serves breakfast, lunch and dinner; the menu has included biscuits, French toast,[2] pastries, paninis, salads and soups.[3] The Oddball sandwich has marinara meatballs, provolone, Parmesan, and roasted chicken. Fodor's says, "Service is sometimes a bit lacking, but the huge communal-style seating, Capitol Hill–hipster-chic vibe, cold brews, and festive music make this a fun place to watch the day go by or spend an evening out."[2]
The restaurant also serves coffee during the day and cocktails and wine at night.[4] Conde Naste Traveler has described the interior as "airy" and "white-washed".[5]
History
Owner Linda Derschang opened the restaurant in 2008.[3][6] Oddfellows has participated in Seattle Restaurant Week.[7] During the COVID-19 pandemic, Oddfellows built a street patio.[8][9] Bella Pham, Benjamin Hubbard, and Stacy Milrany painted murals on plywood on the restaurant's exterior during the pandemic.[10][11][12]
Little Oddfellows, located within the adjacent Elliott Bay Book Company, has been described as the restaurant's "sister cafe".[13]
Reception
Leonardo David Raymundo included the restaurant in Eater Seattle's 2017 overview of "Low-Stakes First Date Spots in Seattle". He wrote, "With big, open windows facing the east and a collection of vintage antiques littered about like a 1930s garage sale, Linda Derschang’s Oddfellows is a contemporary homage to the past. All the egg dishes here are legit, but the signature classic is baked eggs with ham and cheese."[14] Emma Banks included Oddfellows in Thrillist's 2022 list of "The Best Patios for Eating and Drinking Outside in Seattle".[9]
