“This post is from Pacific Northwest Foodies. Doc’s Marina Grill ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I’ve been on the quest for a great Crab Louie salad for a few years. Sadly, this classic crab salad is hard to find even in states like Washington. I suspect it has to do with most people not wanting to pay a lot of money for a salad, but if you’ve ever had a great one, you know this one is worth it. After doing a lot of research, I made a point to try the one at Doc’s Marina Grill on Bainbridge Island, Washington. There’s also a location in Port Townsend, Washington. For starters, I ordered a cup of Doc’s House Made Clam Chowder ($8) - famous because it’s “oh-so-good!” It needed a sprinkle of salt, but it was very good. For my entrée, I ordered Doc’s Dungeness Crab Louie ($38) - mixed greens topped with tender crab, seasonal vegetables, heirloom tomatoes and Doc’s house-made Louie dressing. I was impressed! I would rate Doc’s Crab Louie a 4/5. It was beautifully presented, had a generous portion of crab, and the house made Louie dressing was excellent! I would give this salad a perfect rating if they removed the red onion, and added a few black olives and asparagus spears. Even so, I was very happy with my salad and would rank it among one the best Crab Louie’s I’ve ever had. It is certainly the best I’ve had in Washington state. In addition to serving great food, I really enjoyed the ambience of Doc’s, and the service was excellent! I look forward to visiting again and try and some new menu items. *The upstairs level and bathrooms are wheelchair accessible. * There is an opening above the urinal that is a giant periscope. It provides a panoramic view of Eagle Harbor. It was designed by Lee Scott, a Carnegie Mellon graduate student. If you don’t use a urinal, but are interested in seeing the periscope, staff will clear the room so you can check it out too. I didn’t know about this until after my visit. Next time, I will be sure to check it out. 😊 Highly Recommended!!!“

“The food was great and the team working was amazing the best service ever.“

“We've ordered pizza from here 3 or 4 times so far, and it's spot on every time! Probably some of the most flavorful pizza we've had in Seattle, with fresh quality toppings and baked perfectly. Will absolutely be ordering from here again.“

“Such a fun and comfortable hang out! We really like their trivia nights and the pet friendly atmosphere. The drink lines tend to back up on trivia nights due to the time based rush to get a drink before the game starts, but in between games it's a cinch.“

“It was a packed house and we showed up for brunch for my birthday with some friends. They were gracious enough to give us the back private room. Customer service was amazing and the food was so yummy. Can’t wait to go back.“

“Fun vibe and quirky unique decore. Friendly barkeepers. Separate pinball room with a good selection of machines and reasonable pwr play prices. Good food and some gluten free options for those who roll that way. Worth a stop in when you're in this neighborhood. Or a trip if you're seeking a decent meal, a fun decor, and a side of pinball.“

“Alice makes a wicked Paloma!! Go find out yourself!“

“service was very extremely welcoming and prompt. My first time here and I was craving Chinese food - I Ordered takeout which was promptly delivered hot in compostable and biodegradable takeout containers. No chopsticks or napkins offered. I ordered the egg rolls and prawn dumplings. I thought my appetizers lacked flavor; I couldn’t taste any prawns or the pork. I was so sad, but I would go back and try something else one more time….“

“We love it here! We drive from Port Angeles a few times a year just to eat here. We went in yesterday (11-13-25) on our way home from Kent after a really hard day. The server, Kenny and the food were exactly what we needed. My husband loves the whiskey selection and my best friend loves the old fashion. We always give it 5 stars 🌟.“

“Went for the first time last night. This is a great spot and the interior is well decorated though you may not notice it at first glance. DJs were killing it and the owner was super nice and friendly (and a cutie). Extra entertainment in the mezzanine. Good time, highly recommend.“

“A relaxing laid back atmosphere with so many flavors to choose from. I had a few cocktails, oysters for the first time, and sardines, too. Everything was delectable and Sharon and Dakin are lovely bartenders with great people skills.

I went there for a date and had a wonderful time enjoying new foods, drinks, and flavors. They even had a Malort cocktail!

Highly recommend if you like more intimate locations and being directly at the bar.

I cannot say enough good things about this place. Probably one of my favorites since relocating to Seattle.“

“Large cocktail list including rotating barrel aged cocktails. Large whiskey list including a large list of reserve bottles and barrel aged whiskey. Reasonably priced pours for the more common bottles. Nice hip cocktail bar vibe, pretty cool bar.“

“What a treasure of a spot! So glad we checked this out. The atmosphere and tunes are so well curated. I'm fussy, and asked for a custom cocktail and they did not disappoint. Can't wait to return with some buds. If you like unique bars with thoughtful decor and cohesive design this is the place.“

“Single Hill is here!! Yakima is laid back fantastic but you can't always get there...!
SH makes so many IPAs, and now often outstanding ones! This will be a must stop for fresh hop season Sep-Oct every year! So looking forward to it this year. Hey Seattle, SH gave the fresh hop master class in 2023. They were 2nd to Holy Mtn ONLY in 2024. Expect big things every year from them (｡•̀ᴗ-)و ̑̑✧“

“Great German beers, friendly service, nice place to chill in West Seattle.“

“Great addition to the community here in Poulsbo. I’ve used the Sip for group get-togethers and taken the kids so they can pour their own root beer!“

“Had a wonderful experience at details wine bar in poulsbo! I'm not too experienced in different wines but the Waitress/Hostess offered some wonderful suggestions. One was a Riesling on the sweet side (in picture) and I loved it! 10/10 I would definitely come back 🥰“

“Sevilla｜Special Milk Coffee This is a rare special coffee that is not sweet. There are some chocolate chips at the bottom. Overall, it has a mellow cocoa flavor with some orange fragrance.“

“I’ve never been super into vegetarian or vegan food options but this restaurant makes me rethink my approach. They have a creative menu and high quality food. Everything I try ends up being my new favorite.“

“Live Jazz in a secret location.“

“Looking for a breakfast place for Sunday-after-church. Never thought to stop here as we’re not golfers. . . What a find! Nice and quiet, you can watch the golfers on the driving range, and good food. Great service and reasonable prices. Hubby had the Sampler breakfast and I had the Hash Brown Stack. Best hash browns I’ve had. Only complaints? The coffee isn’t strong enough for me, and the food plate had a big chip on it. Otherwise, top notch. We’ll be back. ❤️“

“If you haven’t been to The Bridge for dinner or happy hour yet, you are missing out! I just had an incredible meal that was a total chef’s kiss.
​I ordered the Carne Asada steak tacos, and they were perfect—served with a side of fresh guacamole that hit the spot. Now, I know what you’re thinking: fries with tacos? Trust me on this one. Their fries are perfectly crispy and, surprisingly, they go with tacos pretty Great.
​Whether you’re looking for a solid dinner spot or a great happy hour vibe in West Seattle, this is the place to be. Highly recommended! 🌮🍟✨“

“We went to Tracyton Public House for the first time last night and immediately felt welcomed. When the man at the door was checking IDs, we mentioned we’d never been in and he gave us his food recommendations. We took him up on that and ordered the wings! They are SO insanely good (and HUGE!!). Each sauce we got was remarkable. So much flavor. The bartender was very nice and friendly and welcoming. The whole vibe of the place was really cool. Can’t wait to go back!“

“The atmosphere at Dog Yard Bar was so much fun. The staff was knowledgeable and friendly. I can't wait to visit again!“

“existing. *facebook wants more chars, so here they are...“

“the best dive bar in Bremerton.“

“My absolutely favorite bar in West Seattle. Amazing atmosphere but please hire nicer people as bartenders, people who actually have customer service skills. Often get one bartender who is very rude and unpersonable, seems to hate her job. 💔“

“Visited with some friends, ordered garlic burger medium with a little pink however it didn’t have any pink. Still was a good burger. Friends ordered fish and chips and they were a little bit overdone but they said it was still good.“

“Great hangout in West Seattle“

“Wonderful bartenders, fun community, lots of things to do! 10/10“

“what a great time at the Manchester Pub. Hope to be back there soon .🎶🎵♥️“

“The most comfortable and welcoming establishment in the Junction of West Seattle. Friendly service, great selection, and a quintessential watering hole. Come for a quick pint or bring a crowd for a game - Poggie’s will deliver the classics with ease and no nonsense. Do yourself a favor and drink like a local at Poggie’s. You won’t regret it!🍻“

“real friendly and relaxed“

“Great food and service! Lots of TVs for football season.“

“Fried. Pickles. Not the silly little quarter sized fellas, but real deal dill spears with the barest hint of a spicy kick. I’ll be back for the pickles.“

“I stopped by Lock & Keel the other night and had one of those small but meaningful experiences that remind you why some bars just get it right. I ordered a Diet Coke, but for some reason, my credit card wouldn’t work in their system. Before I could even start fumbling for cash or awkwardly apologizing, the bartender—this super sweet girl with black hair and a nose ring—just smiled and said, “Don’t worry about it, it’s on me.”

It wasn’t about the free drink; it was about the vibe. She was friendly, calm, and made what could’ve been an embarrassing moment feel like nothing at all. You don’t always get that kind of kindness in busy bars, and it stood out.

Lock & Keel isn’t just a place to grab a drink—it’s a spot where the staff genuinely seem to care about making people feel welcome. Shoutout to the bartender with the nose ring and black hair—thank you for the Diet Coke and the good energy.

This place deserves all five stars. Cheers!“

“Amazing food, great service.“

“You can drink and then if you’re having a “Bad Hair Day” you can get a haircut!“
