Hit it Here Cafe in Seattle

This place had very good hamburgers and cheeseburgers for $9 and the fries were also very tasty

My family and I got to our fair share of Mariner games and know that a meal at the HIHC is literally just a few bucks more than the fast food al la carte offerings around the stadium. I went the other night vs. St. Louis.  My friend and I entered around 6:45.  We didnt get our food until about the middle of the 2nd.  It wasn't good and it was cool. The place wasnt busy (people don go to see the Ms anymore... that's an entirely different--chronic--disappointment), so I can't say they were backed up.  My guess / hope is they had new chefs and it was training day and/or several chefs called in sick. They redid all our orders and it wasn't much warmer and was just as bad.  The fries were soft, burgers dry, and pasta sauces watered down.   In fairness our meals were comped, but I don't think we will return.

Last time I looked, Safeco Field was in Seattle, maybe not as well known as Portland for gastronomic delights, but still no slouch when it comes to diversity in food preferences. It has been awhile since we've eaten at the Hit It Here, and we were super disappointed in the menu choices. I'm sure the menu would be a hit in the heartland; not so much here. Seattle is justly famous for its fresh, wild-caught salmon. Sorry, not a bite here. Ok, how about pub style fish and chips? Nope, came up empty there. I had to settle on the Chicken BBQ flatbread; due to dietary restrictions, crostini was the only item on the menu my wife could eat. Nope, not a chicken breast or potato in sight. I had one small request - no bacon on the flatbread. Even though we were one of the first seated, took longer for us to get our meals than the table next to us. Ok, so one bite, and it's like BACO...
