West Seattle restaurants: Heartland Café offers earlier breakfast

In the Admiral District, the Heartland Café is marking its first anniversary, and as owner Jay Wergin observed the demise of the Charlestown Street Café down the street, he decided to try to help fill a bit of the void:

With the latest news on the Charlestown Cafe closing its doors, we have come to realize that there will be a void to fill when it comes to good old fashioned American food. We have had many request to open our doors earlier as a result of the closure. Starting tomorrow, we will be open for breakfast Tue-Sun starting at 6:30 am. We serve breakfast until 4 pm. We are closed Mondays until 3 pm for cleaning and maintenance.

Previously, breakfast at the Heartland started at 8 am. They’re at 4210 SW Admiral Way.

Heartland’s corned beef hash is ridiculously yummy. (and enough for 2) Totally delish.

We REALLY wish the food and service was better. Tried them twice…once breakfast, once dinner. Maybe we should try them one-more-time. We love the concept but have been disappointed. Will take your good review Que and give them another shot. :)

i love Heartland/Benbow! Breakfast was so good when i went (the doughnuts are to die for!), and i’ve enjoyed the few dinners i’ve had there. They have an awesome happy hour too, the fried cheese curds are soooo yummy!

Whatever you’re doing with the tater tots, please keep doing it! I never thought anyone would beat Skylark’s, but I was wrong.

Sad to say your pancakes are dry and tasteless…tried them twice and no improvement. Please recheck your recipe.

I, too, have been disappointed in the Heartland. Tried them for breakfast more than once. WANTED to like them because they’re a block from my apartment. But, no egg beaters, which are pretty much standard everywhere else. At my age eating reasonably healthy matters! Offer Eggbeaters, Heartland.. and I’d be happy to eat breakfast there! A FEW healthier items wouldn’t hurt. :)

Sorry, comment time is over.
