Serving family sized portions at
family friendly prices, Totem Family Diner has been satisfying hungry tummies
since 1953. The totem pole signage out
front is a familiar symbol to locals and a welcoming figure to vacationers. As Snohomish County cities continue to
modernize, Totem Diner ensures guests are treated to an original, old-style
Everett flavor.
Guests will enjoy the large
catalog of menu items. There is something
for any age group and every taste. For
my first visit here, I ordered the pulled pork sandwich. It was an excellent, well-balanced meal, served
with fries and a pickle. I switched it
up the second visit, by ordering a breakfast item for lunch.
For round two, I ordered a special
menu item called “Bacon Explosion”. It
included eggs, hash browns, and a bacon wrapped sausage with bacon chunks wheel
at 5 inches in diameter. The meat is
prepared one day in advance and stuck in the freezer overnight for
freshness. When ordered, one might be
overwhelmed by the salty punch this thing brings. It was the salt content that was a
distraction because its was filling and might cause slight acid reflux. It wasn’t at all bad, the eggs and hash browns
were an excellent combination that complimented the smoky-smooth meat.
Totem Family Diner does show
appreciation towards the military community by offering a military
discount. This is a very smart and
excellent way to gain loyal customers.
Like most businesses, they don’t advertise their military discount
program, so military personnel and veterans will have to inquire. I wish other small businesses in military
communities were more keen to this approach.
