    This place was great. The food was delicious and the portions were very generous. I had a sausage infused waffle. They sliced up sausage links and put them in the batter. There was probably 2-3 pieces in every bite. My wife had the European french toast and the bread was close to 2 inches think at least. My son's omelette was massive and full of goodness. And the biscuits are massive.

    Good vibe. Good parking. Decent food. Prices a little high, but everything is going up a bit these days so it's understandable. Friendly staff. Clean.

    Went for breakfast and it was awesome. The house made cream cheese topping that went with our French toast was AMAZING. Place was busy but well worth the wait. Also the service was great. Thanks!

    This is one of the best breakfast places in all of Washington! Beautiful Diner, great service and the most beautiful selection of food! Massive orders of your favorites! The chicken fried steak, corn beef and the biscuits and gravy are top notch!!! **** You must get the Totem Cinnamon Roll, either there or to go but its a signature SLEEPER!*****

    I got a chance to see the kitchen on my way to the ladies room, and they were both impeccably clean. It's always great to see the kitchen before eating somewhere, and this might be the nicest I've seen. It's not easy keeping a restaurant kitchen clean. Food's awesome. Very fresh and prefecture seasoned. I had the springtime scramble with the Obrien potatoes. Service was also excellent. I'm very happy with the experience.

    So so good! The cornish cream made me tear up, the French toast was amazing, the bacon was some of the best! Rachel was the sweetest server and our coffee cups were never in danger of running dry. Classic diner ambiance, nice and clean, truly such a little gem! Unexpected in Everett, especially in that area. I was pleasantly surprised and already figuring out when I can go back!

    Haven't been to the Totem in 30+ years. Faces have changed but the food is still great. We had a fat juicy omelette and I had a Cuban sandwich as it was close to lunch time anyways. The Cuban also came with a huge pile of seasoned french fries. The long thick kind. To be honest the meals were so large we ended up taking half of my sandwich and a good portion of the fries home. Our waitress, an attractive younger woman. Very vibrant and really good at her job. She was working her tables like a bee working a flower patch. No one around us appeared to be waiting for anything. She was good, really good! $$$. Overall, AAA+++ We'll be back to try something different as the menu offered a wide array of breakfast and lunch selections.

    I forgot to take pictures of the inside and outside, but this place is nice and cozy. This restaurant has been around a long time, and they have pictures hung up to prove it. Atmosphere was nice and service was great as well. They have a front and back menu and their specials menu. My girl got the pancake with sausage and egg. I got the French Dip with pepper jack and mushrooms. Damn, the French Dip was massive, but loved the fact the filling was seasoned and the au ju was a thicker Dip but was really good. Also. The waffle fries were bomb. Overall, we would totally come back here and try more food, and I'll have more pics :)

    Portions are huge and price is reasonable compared to other breakfast joints! The service is friendly and I’m impressed how each time I go here when it’s busy (at the point of waiting ~20 mins to be seated) the food is always good. Highly recommend!

    My daughter and I decided to go here to have a birthday breakfast. It was our first time at Totem Family Dining. It was a Sunday morning at 11am and the place was packed! We gave our name to the receptionist and we were told it was a 30 minute wait. We ordered pancakes, bacon, cinnamon roll, hashbrowns, links, strawberry lemonade, chocolate milk and coffee. Everything was delicious! And the servings where huge, especially the cinnamon roll! Even though they were packed, the service was great!

    Great little place to enjoy a good warm breakfast on a cold Washington morning. Plan accordingly if you intend to go there as a group since this place tends to get busy and packed especially in the weekends. For me, it was well worth the wait. Also keep in mind that parking is limited on the main road but there is plenty of parking on the back side of the restaurant. They also offer carry-out if you want to go that route.

    It's a quaint mom and pop breakfast spot! Although, they are open for more than just breakfast. The service was good. It was fairly busy but our server, he was attentive. I can't remember his name. The food was delicious ! We felt some kind of way so yes we did have their bottomless coffee along with a strawberry milkshake (with chunks of strawberries in it) and a Chocolate Malt. Both absolutely delicious! The food was quite flavourful and fulfilling!! Eggs Benedict isn't the best for left overs but I still got to enjoy the next day (I eat like a bird so I always have left overs). My boyfriend, loved his corn Hash. His waa a huge serving so he had a little bit left over as well and he enjoyed it just as much the second time. Will definitely be coming back.

    5 Solid Stars. We enjoyed a late lunch complete with O’Brien potatoes, thick sliced bacon, seasoned fries, farm fresh eggs, Beef Dip & gravy all served with a smile. It was good food across board. The space is inviting, clean & “old school”. We will return!!

    Your classic American breakfast restaurant, probably built in the 50's and remodeled in the 80's - and that's exactly how it should stay! Places like this don't exist anymore. Walls are adorned with historical photographs and the restored neon sign out front serves up some weekly humor. Large portions and friendly service along with truly great tasting meals. You must experience this place- words and pictures are not enough.

    Maybe the breakfast is good, but the lunch was not. Got the deluxe burger with cheddar and a Reuben. The hand cut fries were so soggy and greasy I couldn't eat them. The waffle fries were good. The burger had soggy lettuce and the tomatoes were essentially dissolved somehow. There was way too much cheese on the burger and you couldn't taste anything but cheese. The Reuben wasn't good. Fatty thick cut meat, no flavor to it at all really. We hardly ate any of it. 2 lunch entrees and 2 sodas cost $52 after tip. I don't know how their reviews are so good.

    Finally made it in, and it was 100% worth it. Usually I am never near this place before they close. But today was my lucky day. From the start I was greeted with a smile when I walked in and the friendly service never stopped..my waitress was everything I could hope for. Stopped by just the right amount of times, asked about sauces and brought them before my food arrived, and most importantly kept my drinks full. I ordered an omelet that was loaded with sausage and covered in blue cheese with potatoes Obrien. It was delicious. The potatoes were an little big and had to be taken in a couple bites but they had beautiful crunch to them. I will definitely be returning here.

    Came for breakfast on a Tuesday morning. You know a place is good when it's almost a full house on a weekday! Menu has something for everyone. All types of savory and sweet breakfasts with a lunch option as well! Our cinnamon roll was the size of a large brick! Glad we ordered one to share.

    If you're looking for an old school diner that is backed up with a reputation in the Puget sound area, this is your place. The portions are huge, the food is comfort food all the way down the pipe, and it's an enjoyable experience for everyone involved. Great food, great service, and a great feel... What more can you ask for?

    Another perfect local find on random road trip. Small, family diner; only 30 minute wait. Menu is massive consodering they close at 3 And the plates are equally mammoth. We had Uncle Tony's Summertime Omelet, which is a little on the sweet side; especially considering we also got... golden waffle with blackberry and the TOTEM CORNISH CREAM! Get this. Do it! Also, this is place is SO CLEAN despite a busy holiday weekend. And friendly. Great people...just cannot recommend enough

    We had lunch. My burger and fries were big! The burger could have had a little more seasoning but all round great. My partner had a Ruben sandwich which looked great.

  • 4/5 Jeff A. 11 months ago on Google
    Loved this place. The food held up, the portions leave a normal size person leftovers, and the the service was genuine, kind, & speedy. We both endulged in scrambles and we both left happy and satisfied. This place is a long time local darling, not being local I don’t share the nostalgia, but def pick up on the vibe that the regulars do and see why. My only gripe is feeling rushed, this place isn’t huge and is busy on the after church hours, they clearly wanna get everyone in however, that’s not my problem. I’d suggest getting up early and just beating the rush as they open at 7am , if you’re like me and want to sit a relax.

  • 5/5 Shondra J. 1 year ago on Google
    Fantastic homestyle cooking. It is a popular restaurant that serves breakfast and lunch. We had a bit of a wait to be seated, but we were prepared to wait, so it wasn't a big deal. It was definitely worth the wait! The waitstaff was friendly and attentive. The menu had a variety of options that made it difficult to pick. The scramble was hearty and filled with flavor. The biscuits and gravy were fantastic. The pancakes had a great flavor too. Highly recommend this restaurant.

    Ordered: Eggs benedict with hash browns Leavenworth scramble with hash browns 2 coffees Total cost: $52.54 Dress code: Casual Review: From the cozy log cabin atmosphere to the retro dining booths, this neighborhood restaurant oozes charm. The service is incredibly friendly without being suffocating. Coffee mugs and water glasses are rarely empty due to their attentive team and you never feel pressured to leave even when it's busy. Then, there's the food itself. The scramble we ordered was made with 4-eggs and gave us the choice of hash browns or O'Brien potatoes and your choice of toast with freezer jam. The eggs benedict was flawless. We have come several times and have never been disappointed. This is morning brunch done right. Large portions, consistent quality, huge selection for even the pickiest of eaters and a rotating selection of seasonal specialties (which often highlight their smoked meats). A word to the wise, this place is popular. If you can, try to come early on the weekends to avoid crowds. We went on a Sunday at 8:30 and waited less than 10 minutes to be seated. TLDR: I LOVE Totem Family Dining and would recommend this spot to anyone looking for an amazing brunch.

    This is one of the best restaurant in all of Snohomish County. It is a must if you are ever in Everett. The breakfast is legendary, but the lunch and dinner offerings are just as delicious. Best bacon in the country.

    Remarkable! This is one of my favorite places to dine. The food is delicious and very consistent. The staff is super friendly and fun. I always come and go with a smile. Thanks for the great bacon Totem! 😊

  • 5/5 Daniel C. 1 year ago on Google
    Always a key breakfast stop for the wife and I when we are in town. Service has always been and continues to be very pleasant, food is good, and the portions are more than enough to fill you up. And no shortage of options on the menu to fit any mood.

  • 4/5 Wesley Q. 9 months ago on Google
    Great classic diner. Generous portions. Friendly staff. It is very busy so watch the clock. They do seem to turn tables quickly so the wait isn't going to be long.

  • 5/5 Bagumbo T. 2 years ago on Google
    The food was delicious and it was a enjoyable experience. Recommend the Waffle as well as the Onion Rings! Both had generous portions.

  • 5/5 Anju C. 2 years ago on Google
