Boardwalk

Boardwalk offers a welcoming pause in the midst of Redmond’s busy Microsoft campus, yet its appeal extends far beyond the tech crowd. From the moment you step inside, there’s a relaxed, unhurried rhythm that invites you to settle in and savor the moment. The space balances casual comfort with a touch of thoughtful design, creating an atmosphere where lively conversations and quiet corners coexist harmoniously.

The bar’s selection hints at the care behind each pour, featuring rotating local brews that pair effortlessly with the thoughtfully curated menu. Here, familiar American flavors show off subtle twists—a refreshing iced tea alongside a juicy smash burger or the satisfying warmth of cheesy waffle fries that invite you to linger just a little longer. Seasonal changes keep the culinary offerings fresh and engaging, reflecting a kitchen that enjoys playing with textures and tastes without ever overwhelming the approachable vibe.

Whether arriving for a casual meal with family or an after-work gathering with colleagues, Boardwalk’s friendly, attentive staff contribute to a sense of ease and welcome. Little details, like complimentary saltwater taffy at the exit, add a touch of warmth and surprise that makes the experience feel personal rather than just transactional. The balance between accommodating vegan options and hearty classic fare demonstrates an inclusive spirit, ensuring that every visitor finds something to savor.

In its blend of thoughtful menu choices, approachable atmosphere, and subtle nods to community, Boardwalk feels less like a place to check off and more like a local find worth returning to—whether you’re here for a seasonal favorite or simply a space to enjoy good company over a well-crafted drink.
