On Friday, Eater opened up a comments thread and the tipline (and Facebook and Twitter) asking readers to name their favorite under the radar brunch spots in Seattle. The jury is still out on whether or not some of the suggestions are actually under the radar (Lola, Ma'ono), which is why you won't see those popular kids on this list. Speaking of, here now is the reader recommended in-alphabetical-order-map of 18 brunch destinations where the food is good, day drunkeness is welcome, and long lines are not. In addition, quotes supporting the nominations. If your favorite is missing, please feel free to add it to the comments. There's no such thing as too many brunch suggestions.

Is it Saturday yet?
