“ It's a all in one food stop, surf and turf! Great staff and ideal especially waiting on your ferry. Tried their Alaskan halibut 6/10, but the Oyster grilled was delicious ... big juicy fatty oysters ”
“ Like others before me, I love this place, no frills, you find your table, order at bar and servers will bring to your table. The food is good, location is excellent overlooking the Friday harbor. And best of all they are dog friendly! We’ve been coming here for years and the service and food remain reason to return! ”
“ I love this spot! Absolutely gorgeous views, especially if you sit up stairs. Great energy from the staff every time I go. Food is delicious and the bar is always great. It’s also close to a lot of shopping and lovely ice cream shop across the street. Definitely recommend stopping here for lunch or dinner when you hop off the ferry! ”
“ A great place to eat. Especially if you're waiting for the ferry. We sat on the upper deck on a beautiful day and had the BEST clam chowder I've ever eaten. ”
“ Yummy food and drinks and a beautiful view while you’re eating! The bartender Nick was super friendly and we really enjoyed our lunch! ”
“ This place had the best meal of our 2 night trip. The cod tacos and fish and chips were delicious! They also had some good drinks and the best view on the upper deck to watch the float planes land, boats drive by and the ferry. If you need a spot to wait for the ferry, this is a great spot! I will definitely make sure I stop here on all future trips to Friday Harbor! There is also a cute shop and I bought some cute jewelry and pins. ”
“ Great place for a quick lunch by the water. The fish and chips and calamari were really good. I like how each dish came with tartar sauce and the food tasted fresh. The Alaskan fish was juicy inside and had a nice citrus crispy outside ”
“ We were promptly greatly with a friendly welcome and directed to sit any where and told how to place orders. The menu had various options and daily specials based on the catch of the day. Our food was portioned generously with outstanding flavor—it was served quickly. The decor is of rustic fishing town appeal with lots of seating for harbor views. We never fully rely on rating scores and always read the reviews and talk to locals for recommendations. Everyone we spoke to said this is where the locals go. It was casual and priced right. We choose this restaurant several times over others and would highly recommend! ”
