OK, I just read this review, and since I work less than a block away I had to run over to Nook and give them a try. Let me start by saying that I am from Texas and am VERY picky about my brisket and my biscuits. I am very pleased with my lunch (I got the beef brisket biscuit, and being picky - got the meat on the side of the biscuit.) The brisket is a little sweeter than I am accustomed to (from the Mexican coke) but it is tender and delicious, the biscuit is divine although I think they could add a bit more salt to the biscuit dough. I am pretty sure this is the first absolutely positive feedback I've given to anyplace in Seattle. Did I mention I'm very picky about my food?

Thanks for your very kind comments about the Nook. I lot of thought and effort went into this project and the positive feedback is much appreciated by Alex and Aki. Alex was too modest to mention that he is a graduate of the American Culinary Institute. Food is his profession as well as their mutual passion.

The restrooms, which are shared with the adjoining restaurant, are in sad condition for reasons beyond the reasonable control of Alex and Aki, e.g. you can only do so much with a bucket and mop. Please focus on their food for the time being and be assured that they also wish the space had nice, new restrooms (hint, hint, Mr. Landlord).

Southern style biscuits? Yay!!!

A helpful addition to the article would have been:

"Follow Nook on Twitter @nook206
or Like their Facebook page: Nook206"

Can't wait to try them.

Your article is just one big over bolstered advertisement....

This place is lame. Went to try it out and they were out of biscuits, out of hoagie rolls, and out of sandwich fixins before 12:30 on a weekday. FAIL. You can make biscuits and freeze them before baking - they come out exactly the same. These folks need to hire someone who knows how to run a business to whip this place into shape.

It's not on Capitol Hill, and we like it that way.

Alex grew up down the street from me in Atlanta. He's a great guy from a terrific family. No surprise at all that he's found such success at a very original place. If you met his multi-talented family, you'd understand where the creativity comes from - but the ability with food, it seems, is all his own. I've been hearing about his awesome creations for some time now. Damn this gigantic continent! If ever I have the occasion to get my butt to Seattle I will certainly stop by and gorge myself on some biscuits.
