4.6 Superb167 Reviews

“Went here for my birthday with the family and it didn’t disappoint. We tried the Saganaki (fried cheese flamed at our table) for appetizer. And we decided to go with the Greek Platter for 2. This was a 3 course meal that was more than enough for me and wife and needed a box to bring home leftovers. The first course was one spanakopita and one tiropita. Both were tasty. Followed up with 2 small Greek salads paired with the house dressing that brought a nice balance and didn’t over power the salad. The main course was a HUGE platter of two dolmades, moussaka, Greek ribs and rice pilaf. These dolmades were delicious, the moussaka was seasoned, tasted amazing and held up well. And the Greek ribs was a first try for me. The meat was covered with a dry rub that is beyond flavorful and the meat was so tender. This was all served over rice pilaf that was moist Ended with night with a Greek special dessert. Coming to this restaurant for the first time we were well pleased. Will be back again for sure. Our waitress was attentive and helped us understand the menu. If you are looking for a place that puts love into their cooking. Look no further than Five Columns.”

They're so good you gobble it down while at the same time savoring the crispness of the waffle, the just-right topping amount and how everything works together for the perfect bite! The Canadian Quesadilla and the pumpkin syrup build-your-own....shut. up. I can't recommend them strongly enough. Nate is the best host, too. Stop by.. You'll be very glad you did.

Vermicelli bowls and all options for Banh Mis are a fave for our crew, and their milk teas are TO DIE for. Also a shoutout to the Thai Iced Tea, which is delish.

This town is up the line of the Washington Bay; I assume it was made by a glacier melting as it was pushed in. In the Spring now there is more melting water current in the unfrozen air. This shop is a really nice place to get food and drinks that provide and charge. It's also got really classy honey drinks that could help pilots and sailors. The name is initiative in weather.”

Sauce is seasoned well, fontina cheese really adds something and the pecorino is just enough where you can taste it but it's not overpowering.

El Capitan's 1201 Cornwall Ave #101, Bellingham Hot Dogs • $

“🏴‍☠️ Zeya187’s Epic Raid on El Capitan’s 🏴‍☠️

When the moon crests Bellingham Bay and the townsfolk drift to slumber, that’s when the true marauders prowl. And for nigh on 15 years, this hungry pirate’s compass has pointed to one dock only — El Capitan’s.

Last night, me crew and I braved the brine and the bar brawls of Railroad Ave — storming through the mist like specters hungry for plunder. Our bounty? Polish sausages fatter than a cutlass handle, pretzels bigger than a ship’s wheel, cider cold as the North Sea, and local brew to drown a kraken.

I swear on the briny deep — ye haven’t lived until ye stand in that nautical den, teeth sunk deep in a pepper-smoked sausage dripping with secret sauces and grilled onions sweeter than a siren’s song. Each bite hits like cannon fire — smoky, rich, layered with that Cap’n Marc magic. This ain’t no landlubber dog stand — this is a vessel for flavor that’s braved two decades of storms and stayed afloat as the town’s tastiest legend.

The pretzels? Golden and pillowy, salt crystals catching the lantern light like buried treasure. We tore ‘em apart like ravenous buccaneers — dunkin’ ‘em in cheese and mustard while laughing off the drizzlin’ rain outside.

And oh, the cider and brew! A pint o’ local grog in one hand, sausage in the other — we toasted to old pirates, new legends, and the smell of the sea on our coats. Every sip soaked up the day’s toil and spat it back out with a grin.

El Capitan’s ain’t just food — it’s a damn adventure. The walls drip with maps, pirate lamps glow over stories traded by drifters, townies, and long-timers like me. Here, every bite’s a memory forged in grease, beer foam, and community grit.

So here’s me truth: ye can keep yer chain dogs, yer stale dive bars — El Capitan’s is where the real sea dogs gather. Marc and crew run the galley like a well-oiled galleon, feeding souls and bellies alike.

Fifteen years strong and the legend grows. I’ll be back, I’ll always be back — ‘cause when Zeya187 and crew sail in hungry, there’s no better harbor than this brine-soaked, bratwurst-sizzlin’, grog-pourin’ pirate den.

🦜 5/5 Skulls & Crossbones — Raise yer pint, bite yer brat, and let the good times roll!
See ye on the next raid, El Capitan’s — long may ye sail! ⚓️”

“Black Sheep has easily become an iconic "Bellingham" restaurant with how much of a staple they are to so many.

Goods Local Brews 2620 Northwest Ave, Bellingham Brewpubs • $

“Tucked into the lively Columbia District, Goods Local Brews shines as a neighborhood taproom dedicated to celebrating local craft beverages, and it nails that mission. All‑local pours...their rotating lineup highlights Whatcom‑area breweries and cideries, with wine available, which is perfect for groups with mixed preferences.

Taproom meets farmers market: I love the warm, relaxed setting, complete with plants, seasonal produce & fruit + fresh flowers right on-site .

Food truck scene: There is a taco truck and a dumpling truck onsite.  Check their website for the most recent food truck schedule.

Goods Local Brews isn’t just a place to drink—it’s a community hub.The staff's knowledge and warmth, combined with rotating local selections and delicious casual bites, make it a top-tier experience in Bellingham.

🐾 Perk for those of you with furbabies - the outside area is dog friendly

Only Cons:

↪️ Seating can fill up during peak hours

↪️ Rotating taps mean you might miss a particular favorite

Highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy authentic Bellingham flavors in a laid-back, welcoming setting.”

“It's awesome that they have a separate plant based pizza tab. The pies are great and some with very interesting flavors that really work well. Crust is thin and crisp with little chew. One of us loved it and the other missed the chewiness. All in all, a lovely place run by super friendly people and with yummy vegan options.”

Holly's Meat Pies 4073 Hannegan Rd suite j, Bellingham American • $

“I know this is a shameless plug, but I just finished eating a beef meat pie from Holly's, and I have to write this: I just found Holly's Meat Pies and had my first pie from them. I can't say enough about how delicious my pasty was!!!! Thank YOU! 🙏🏻 The crust is absolute perfection – not too dry, not oily. Perfectly cooked. The pie stayed hot even though I drove home. Wow! I got the beef, and the filling was perfect. The balance of the spices, herbs, the quality of the meat, the vegetables and the onion was superior and absolutely perfectly balanced. This lady has skills!! The taste is wonderful. Holly gave me samples of Ty's Barbecue Sauce and Pasty Sauce !!! Yummmmm! I tested the barbecue sauce because I couldn't resist – I'll be back for at least one bottle and it won't last long. And the pasty sauce was fantastic. I'm buying a bottle. I had never heard of putting any kind of sauce on my pasty, but I'll put this on it! The thing about the pasty is it's so good without the sauce, but it's great with the sauce, too. I alternated bites lol. 😆 Since the pasty is neither dry nor greasy, it stands on its own so perfectly that I couldn't imagine putting the sauce on it – until I tried! It kicks the flavor up a notch. I bought a frozen Chicken pie for later, and I "liberated" several menus - this is going to become a habit!!!! Can't wait to try the Vegan pie (🥧 mushrooms!!), and the lamb pie and the entire menu! Feels like I found a culinary goldmine that's right up my alley. I feel so lucky that this is in Bellingham, and that I don't live too far from it because I will be a frequent visitor. And they are so friendly- great, wholesome, quick, affordable food!! What's not to love?! 💕 I also want to say hello to Holly and to Andrea who I met today and who were so friendly & knowledgeable. Smart women getting it done!! ✅ They answered every question I had. If you haven't tried this place, you've got to go and try it. This is the ultimate easy portable health food! Great with soup 🥣, salad 🥗 and Bordeaux!! My belly is happy 😊! What a therapeutic experience!!”

“Estelle has the look: a dim, French-kissed jazz bar where the lights are low, the cocktails whisper Paris, and the promise of a perfect night hangs in the air. When the kitchen hits, it’s sublime—the kind of meal that makes you swear you’ve found the best table in Whatcom County.

But consistency kills the romance. One visit it’s magic; the next the bread’s dry, the meat soggy, the service indifferent. At the prices they charge, that roulette gets old fast.

Go when you’re feeling lucky and want a little Parisian smoke with your gamble. Just know the house doesn’t always win—and neither will you.”

“I can't give this place 5 stars since I feel like the food quality without being bad or low change a little bit and it's not the same as it was a few years ago. The prices went up just like every single restaurant or bar and the portions are decent but the quality of the ( burger meat at least) was not the same anymore making it pretty similar to the decent burgers anywhere else but nothing outstanding (and they were) Ice cream it was surprisingly creamy and delicious and without being very expensive I rather explore other restaurants for burgers.”
