If there is only one restaurant I have to recommend in Seattle, it would be this amazing sandwich shop. Always packed but very quick service at an amazing price. Most popular ones are the Caribbean roast or Chicken Breast.

Not my favorite restaurant by any means, but it's a great experience as you can choose the buffet option where they dump all the seafood on your table by the waterfront.

Check-in with the front cashier with photo ID to receive a club card and you will receive a $24.95 food voucher after 2 hours of play time (no minimum purchase as they do not track your spend). Make sure to check back in after 2 hours to receive the printed voucher. You can use that voucher for the buffet (menu and time is different daily) or you can order at the restaurant.
