All my Mexican food dreams were fulfilled & my tummy hurts (in a good way). It was so clean (it was truly inspiring, I need to go home & clean now after stepping into this joint) it was nice & quiet, not overstimulating but did a great job at setting the tone. 10/10 recommend & will be back.”

My wedge salad was delicious, my wife had the burger and it had too much of a charcoal grilled/ smoky flavor neither of us liked. I rarely find a burger I don’t like but I couldn’t even finish it. Still added 5 stars since everything else was tasty and could just be our personal tastes.

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.”

Sometimes I just want to be full after a meal, that can be found anywhere - but when I want to feel good, satisfied, and truly fulfilled with a dining experience, Admiralty is where I go. The drinks are on point, and never disappoint. The service is top notch; the likes of which is harder and harder to find nowadays. The atmosphere is warm and inviting.

“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.”

“Bread. Pudding. Muffin. I can’t believe how good it is! Some of the best atmosphere in town, always great beans. Place has been in our rotation for years, but the bread pudding muffin takes Adagio up a notch in my book. Pastries were average before, but we didn’t come for pastries. We came for beans snd vibes. A classic northwest coffee place from the golden age of coffee culture. A spiritual center of downtown Bellingham vibes that I hope lasts forever.

Now, they’ve always had great beans, but frankly the milk steaming and pouring execution had been getting a little weak for a while. But I think he was training an apprentice and showing em how it’s done, so it was amazing. We left our visit feeling like we should come once a week for that bread pudding muffin with coffees.”

Holly's Meat Pies 4073 Hannegan Road Ste 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!!”

“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.”

Bellingham Bar and Grill 1408 Cornwall Avenue, Bellingham Bar & Grill • $$

“I try to go to BBGs at least once a week for the last several months. I spend on average about $100 for food, a couple of drinks, pool and that includes another person. Drink prices can be on the high side but i find their prices tend to be less dynamic than the Royal for example (around the block). But the bar still banks on the dynamic price scheme several nights throughout the week - with prices increasing for some reason as the night progresses. Jim, Matt, Hailey to name a few awesome staff. NAM too.

If it were my bar, i'd probably upgrade a few of the tables. The place makes money and has minimal staff. Interactions between bartenders/servers therefore is limited, even if sitting down at a table or the bar. The food has been average compared to places like the Horseshoe (where they have several cooks and a larger kitchen). However the place can get kinda rowdy during holidays when college kids come out in groves. Otherwise it's a good time overall and i have had no problems with any folk who hang out there.

Reservations arent needed. Except one or two nights a week might fill up from walk-ins and League/pool tourny players. Tuesdays for tournaments. But the way around that is by playing within the tournament (if time allows, because if you are winning, it could take hours to play through)”

Red Barn Coffee 6073 Hannegan Rd, Bellingham Cafe • $

“Oh! My! Goodness! Their holiday menu is just pure perfection. The ladies here are always the nicest people, always putting a smile on my face. I wasn't a big coffee drinker until more recently, so I don't get all the coffee lingo, but these girls always get what I'm trying to say. Such an odd, little location but it works. Wish they were open later into the day just so I could drive out and grab a coffee after school.”

Lammergeier Studio 202 East Holly Street Ste 117, Bellingham Permanent Make-up Clinic • $$$

“I had my brows done here recently and I’m honestly blown away. As a redhead, I’ve always been cautious about trusting someone with brow color, but she understood exactly what would look natural with my hair and skin tone. The results are beautiful — soft, natural, and perfectly shaped. On top of that, the whole experience was professional, comfortable, and thoughtful from start to finish. You can tell she truly cares about her work and her clients. I’m so grateful I found her!”

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. Then tell 20 friends.”

It’s a very well decorated place too, I usually enjoy sitting and playing cards with friends/family while sipping my drink. It’s a nice little cafe with a very extensive delicious menu

Some of the drinks can be a little expensive
But those are Bellingham prices”

Faves on the menu: Matcha latte, dill pickle dip, burrata & chimichurri sandwich, tuna melt (on both GF and regular bread) & chopped salad! Will definitely be back!”

“Greek Town Food Truck in Bellingham is definitely worth checking out! I tried the slow-cooked 10-hour lamb gyro, and it was absolutely delicious. The lamb was incredibly flavorful and tender, and the whole gyro was easily one of the highlights of my visit.

Since it’s a food truck, the seating is outdoors, but they’re conveniently parked at a local brewery, which makes for a really fun and relaxed atmosphere.

If you’re in the Bellingham area and looking for some great Greek food, I highly recommend stopping by Greek Town and checking out their menu. I’ll definitely be back to try more!”
