Ivar’s calls the Pacific Northwest home

The Ivar’s dining experience offers 18 fast casual Seafood Bars and three full-service waterfront-view restaurants: Ivar's Acres of Clams, Ivar's Salmon House, and Ivar's Mukilteo Landing. Ivar's also operates stadium concessions in T-Mobile Park, Lumen Field, Cheney Stadium, and Husky Stadium. No matter which restaurant you choose, you’ll find the award-winning Ivar’s seafood you love.

Ivar Haglund | Flounder
Our Story
The Northwest dining legacy that is Ivar’s began in 1938 with one very entrepreneurial spirit, the late Ivar Haglund. His future in music and entertaining took a slight detour when his waterfront aquarium needed a vendor to feed its guests. Using his own classic Northwest seafood recipes, Ivar’s was born. This dining destination has since spawned many more restaurants to delight future generations.
