Take a gander at roasting and smoking whole roaster chickens at Sharp’s.

A creamy bowl of Sharp's clam chowder.

There’s clam chowder, and then there’s clam chowder.

I had a bowl of Sharp’s clam chowder, and it is wicked awesome tasty.

It’s totally packed with clams, not a bunch of filler like so many other places serve.

Glad to top the bowl with classic Westminster Oyster Crackers — they are the most.

Ribs and chickens slowly smoking in Sharp's roaster.

I stopped in to Sharp’s recently for lunch before flying out from Sea-Tac.

I had a great Signature Salad to keep things on the lighter side for travel, but I could not keep my eyes off those pork ribs smoking away ahead of the dinner hour (along with some rotating whole chickens above them).

The rising smoke and those slowly-cooking slabs of meaty goodness called to me.

I’ll be back to Sharp’s when I fly back to Seattle. I intend to dig in to some tasty ribs!

We’re natural-born romantics here at Von’s, so it was great to play a little part in something lovely recently.

A couple visiting Seattle from Colorado got engaged right here in Von’s.

It was so sweet — the then-boyfriend got down on one knee and proposed just like it’s supposed to be done.

We announced the successful event on the loudspeaker and everyone clapped and cheered for the couple.

The new groom-to-be told us he had been planning to pop the question the entire trip and he chose Von’s because it’s a Seattle classic.

We like his style!

We get a lot of bachelorette and bachelor parties in here — which are always fun — but this was truly a special treat for us.
