Reviews
Their menu is what brought us here. They have multiple options for breakfast sides, and that's what got me excited. I ordered the Mediterranean eggs with their steel cut oatmeal, plus toast. I enjoyed it. My man ordered scrambled eggs with pancakes. His pancakes were nice and chewy, but he loved the sausage links they served. They serve big mugs of coffee, which felt cozy to sip from. Service was fine after we were seated. They have an awkward entrance up the stairs (not the ramp doorway) and a bar at the front, but no one working in the front to greet guests so we stood there for a good while before the young lady noticed us standing there. We grabbed breakfast on a Monday morning at around 9:45 a.m., and no one paid attention to us waiting by their sign that said "wait to be seated." Cute retro diner themed restaurant.
A place that serves a home cooked breakfast all day is a place for me. This is my second visit to the diner on the corner. The inside is clean and relaxing servers are wonderful. We did have to wait to place our order, no harm we were not in a rush. Breakfast at 4 pm on Sunday was a total hit. A party of 3 2 breakfast orders 1 burger Coffee 2 Italian sodas =. It was a high bill. The servings are large. As I said this is my 2nd time - third and fourth will follow.
My wife and I ate here for the first time today. I proclaim the meal I had as the best breakfast I've ever had in a restaurant or diner. Ever. The place is decorated in a '50s style with the usual touches and augmented by a great selection of late '50s R&R over the sound system. There's an espresso bar in the front opposite the entrance. The place was about half full when we walked in so we were quickly greeted and shown to our table by the friendly host. Our server was even friendlier as she gave us our menus. I chose the Build Your Own (4-egg) omelet and constructed it from bacon, Swiss cheese, mushrooms and tomatoes. I chose red potatoes and sourdough toast as my sides. Coffee was brought to me inside of a cup the size of a, well, let's just say I've seen smaller tureens. Anyway--the food. The thick delicious omelet covered half the plate and was FILLED with long sections of perfectly cooked bacon, sliced button mushrooms, diced tomatoes. Now I'd expected grated Swiss cheese. Oh no, my friends, there was something like 2-3 long slices of Swiss cheese extending across the entire omelet. I've never seen such an abundance of ingredients inside an omelet. The red potatoes were served diced and grilled and filled the other half of my plate. My wife ordered the Green Light Garden Scramble which was which was a two-egg scramble with veggies (including spinach and zucchini) and cheddar, served with cut up fruit (pineapple, cantaloupe and honeydew) which she proclaimed delicious and, along with her toast, almost too filling. She gave me a taste--which I liked--but I had my own deelish egg monster to carve through and enjoy. Great staff, wonderful food with HUGE portions. We'll definitely be returning to order from the Lunch menu. The Green Light Diner is an emerald gem of a place in Poulsbo.
The Green Light Diner in Poulsbo, Washington is a 1950s style diner. Originally this restaurant was MorMor Bistro & Bar, known for their PNW cuisine from 2003 - 2013. Signature dishes included Swedish Meatballs, Fish & Chips, and Garlic Parmesan Fries. I often visited for their Fish & Chips, which is one of my favorite versions of that dish, and upgrade to their Garlic Parmesan Fries. Fortunately, all those signature items remain on their diner menu. I'm not keen on 1950s style diner, themed restaurants, or interiors, but the food is much better than you will find in any real diner. These pictures are from a lunch visit, where I ordered their Reuben sandwich with a cup of their award-winning Clam Chowder. Both were excellent! If you're in Poulsbo and looking for a great casual dining experience, put The Green Light Diner at the top of your list. Serving Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner. They also have a great Kid's menu, which includes Bowl o' P'sketty.
I love this diner! I try to go whenever I have some extra time for lunch in Poulsbo. They're remodeling, so I'm looking forward to seeing it when it's done. I wish I could go here more often
