“Came here for the first time today while I was waiting for my dad who was having a procedure. Not only was the food amazing but my server Joe aka my brother from another mother was amazing. He was above and beyond kind. Truly appreciated and unexpected. The service in general was great but Joe made my week! I will definitely be back🤗”
“Excellent Mexican food a must if you like Mexican food fast friendly service”
“Absolutely amazing! The food was hands down THE BEST My kids loved it wife and I loved it! Butter chicken was absolutely amazing, chicken biryani was amazing. 10/10 would return ANY TIME OF DAY”
“I have been here many times, through a few evolutions of three menu, and it hits every single time. 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. The only critique I could ever come up with would be that I want more items on the menu, only because I want to try every flavor they come up with. Keep doing what you’re doing Admiralty, and I’ll keep coming back!”

“I took my first bite and thought, " S**** I'm sharing. " yes, they're great for sharing, but you won't want to. 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.”
“My husband and I had Saltadena do our wedding cake this summer. The cake was absolutely delicious - there was NONE LEFT at the end of the night! And there was PLENTY made to go around, but I had friends telling me they had probably eaten three or four pieces! Nancy was great to work with and worked with our day-of coordinator to get the cake delivered to our outdoor wedding during the reception so that we didn't have to worry about the heat. Perfect cake!”

“First time here, came up from everett to visit family, stopped by on the way back down.
Fantasticly friendly service from Hailee (i hope i spelled that right, im so sorry) made some wonderful suggestions for their mimosa flights for the rest of my party, and the shockingly smooth Mustache drink for myself.
Ontop of that I asked if they had any birthday things for my girlfriend, and the whole crew in back got together and Collaborated, got some delicious and perfectly made chocolate muffins, vanilla ice-cream, whipped cream, and strawberries and even put on some candles and lit them.
This place is so wonderful, the food and drinks were delicious and perfection, and the service somehow amazingly broke past that.
And ontop of that, the cost for it was super economically friendly, no outrageous prices, my wallet did not leave crying.
And the aesthetic is so cute and cozy, small little sectional alcove complimenting the structural pillars, rather than an ugly support: genius.
And the lights provide this honey sweet warmth that really make it feel like home. Especially when the washington weather switched to its normal grey and cloudy, this place felt like a beacon in the drizzle.
If I could rate this place more stars, I would. 20/10.
My gf and I have now made this place a mandatory tradition to stop by on the way out of bellingham, just because of how wonderful it's been. Thank you, everyone is staff. I hope you have a wonderful day!!!!”
“The Ginger Boat has consistently been my preferred Asian restaurant for the past twelve years, and I am confident that even Ryan Stiles would endorse it. It offers the most delectable Drunken Noodle north of Seattle. The family exudes hard work, humility, and an unwavering commitment to preparing fresh and delectable meals, ensuring the utmost satisfaction of their customers. I have been a loyal patron for many years and intend to continue returning.”

“Great, family friendly brewery with fun community events and local food trucks outside available for patrons to enjoy. Their beer and seltzer are delicious (with loads of fun options on tap) and their staff are incredible. Stemma consistently makes their mark as one of the best breweries in BHAM and is one of our all time favorites, for sure!”
“JUXT is such a great spot in downtown. Always hosting fun events, conveniently located, phenomenal service, and their food/drinks are amazing. They've got a great list of craft cocktails and a delicious food menu, too. I especially love getting to enjoy a cocktail flight (either with a friend or solo) while hanging out before a show downtown. Menu Faves: House Fries, Poutine, Loaded Nachos, Falafel, JUXT Mac Cocktail Faves: Love Letter, Time Forgot, Eiffel 75, Bees Markel”

“The avocado toast is so flavored thematically if that means totally amazing; more is totally amazing too. 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.”
“Westside makes a surprisingly good pizza! It's way better quality than the standard (boring) chain pizza and on par with more expensive gourmet options. We've ordered here several times and the food has always been 100% correct, on time, and fresh. Definitely recommended!”
“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.”
“We rented the upstairs this year for our company holiday party. Sydney helped us put together the menu and hosted with another couple awesome bartenders and servers, and they were totally accommodating to our group for the whole evening. It didn’t break the bank, the food and drinks were EXCELLENT, the room was beautifully decorated, and we had SUCH A GOOD TIME. Thanks to the whole Bantam crew for an awesome, enjoyable evening!”
“It's insane how good this place is and their "Second Breakfast" menu is to DIE FOR. Their food stands out amongst other restaurants' brunch/breakfast menu with their items like the savory Shakshuka and thick-cut french toast and I've never been somewhere else in town that does giant cut-fries that are flavored; such a fun experience! Menu Faves: Street Frites (Salt & Vinegar Flavor), Pretzel & Beer Cheese, French Toast w/ Berries & Cream, Farmers Cheese Pancakes, Shakshuka & Postmodern Breakfast Burrito (Bonus point for their delicious Bloody Mary Cocktail)”
“We happened to stop by on a night when there was a film event going on, so our party of two was put on a waitlist behind fifteen (15!) parties. Not to worry, though, our host assured us it would go quickly. And it did!
The bar organization was impressive, the drinks were heavenly, the staff was kind, and the food was good.
Great service from the host with great tattoos and the bartender with cool snake(?) spine earrings (:
Additionally, they asked about allergies at the top, and made sure to note them on our ticket so no cross-contamination could occur. They had vegetarian and vegan options, and all the food was DELICIOUS. The pork and scallion wantons were total show-stoppers. The fried tofu was prepared perfectly. The crab fried rice could’ve used a bit more crunch, but the flavor was lovely.
Couldn’t have asked for anything more on a spontaneous date night out!”

“This McDonalds has an amazing morning crew. Every time I decide to get breakfast I have a kind drive thru attendant. I know McDonald’s is supposed to have the most formulaic impossible to make taste different food, but we all know some locations find a way to make things weird. This location always makes the food the way you crave it to be. I’ve been going here for a few months at this point and if I try a different location I always miss Samish Way. I hope the team gets a bonus or pizza party or whatever corporate can do. They work hard and make my day better.”
“Pure Bliss made me a cake on short notice for my daughter’s 18th birthday 🩷 It was beautiful and delicious! Thank you again 🩷”
“Great atmosphere, friendly staff, very popular. but don't order a pizza! worst I ever had. should have taken more note of all the great reviews - not one about a great pizza. To be fair all the pasta dishes looked exceptional.”

“l love this place and the people!! So wonderfully kind and generous to the community! They have generously donated sugar cookies to Royal Family Kids Christmas Party the last 2 years and I am so grateful and appreciate them so much! Check them out, they have a great breakfast menu too!”
“Their food is delicious. They have some traditional bbq items that are a staple for all bbq joints, but also have some unique sandwiches. Their buns are to-die-for, baked with rosemary. I could eat them all day. We brought a large group of about 20 for my husbands 30th birthday. No one had ever been. Everyone left happy. Thank you Big Stick BBQ!”

“Warm atmosphere and service. Great drinks, average prices for the area. Lots of seating with tables and a couch area. I meet friends here, and come here alone to get work done regularly. Love it. It's also open later than a lot of other coffee shops, which is really nice”

“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!!”

“Just incredible, honestly. The food, the service, the overall vibe, it's the whole package. Excellent food (We had the pesto gouda chicken and bacon balsamic Brussel sprouts). Very pleasant, attentive staff. Such a great experience, we will be back!”
“I give it a 3 out of 5. The food was wonderful. We got the pepperoni pizza, garlic knots and clam pasta dish. The place was very clean. the ONLY reason I cannot give this a place a 5 out of 5 is because the lady who was making looks like marscpone cheese at the front counter kept licking her fingers while making it ( I counted like 6 times in a 30 min wait time for food) then when they put the lid on the container they took thier finger and wiped off the excess and put it right in thier mouth and put it away. like i said the food was great ,but the whole time I got a whole show and it kinda ruined it for me especially since I drove over a hour to come to this place”

“Caught a chair at Mt. Baker with Micah and a few others from Café Blue, and after chatting with them I had to come try the coffee. So glad I did, the cappuccino was absolutely amazing. The chairlift banter was just as good. Such a great group of people and a cozy atmosphere at the café. I’ll definitely be back to try the food and would highly recommend stopping by if you’re in the area.”
“We lived, year around, 17 + years in Southern Arizona and know the great quality Mexican restaurant cuisine very well, especially from the best in the city of South Tucson. In Whatcom County, I added the New Mexico Tamale Company as the very best place to buy tamales when you don’t have the time nor skills to make your own. It’s. est to pre-order, about 2 weeks ahead, for your order to be filled. Suggestion: When placing your order, request them to add more Santa Fe mild chile puree to the selected meat or chicken product or they might be on the dry side when re-heated (steamed). Excellent service. Good quality. Their tamales are well balanced between the filling and the masa. The secret to evaluating good tamales from bad ones is whether the company mixes an adequate amount of red chile puree to the masa when mixing, to enhance the full flavor profile. The New Mexico Tamale Company does it right! Theirs are very close to the way we used to make our beef tamales at home (we usually made 12 dozen every November, for the freezer. RATING: 4.9 stars out of 5.0 stars. Give them a try, you will return for more, again and again. Would they survive in South Tucson? Absolutely !”
“The crew at Robeks are always fun, upbeat and friendly - even for the pre-workday morning crowd. They're one of my go-tos for a morning kickstart or a weekend lunch while running around doing home showings #realestatelife. Slightly addicted to the Peanut Power Plus, but it's fine 😂”

“Makeworth has made its mark on Bellingham as a fun communal space and coffee shop in town. They have a great menu of tasty breakfast items and roast their coffee beans amazingly. All their drinks are a great start to your day and they're a great space to connect with others or have some focus time for yourself! Menu Faves: - Food: Cheddar & Egg Sandwich, Avocado Toast, Chocolate Croissant - Drinks: Mocha, Macchiato, Honey Lavender Latte, Honey Chai”
“This was our first time here, and we're both mad as to not trying it out earlier!!! Food, service, fantastic friendly manager, atmosphere...all amazing! We were seated right away, never felt ignored, and had a window seat with a view of the harbor. Highly recommend - we WILL be back! I had the fish and chips - so so good! The fish batter was so crispy!! And the steak fries were great and crisp! My husband got the Big Bad Boy burger (3 patties)...he's a burger guy for sure...he was super impressed!!”
“D'Annas is AMAZING! Incredible Italian with a menu full of classic dishes that are sure to please everyone. Everything tastes like that perfect "made-from-scratch" taste that you love in Italian cooking and their pasta is DELISH! Plus, their desserts are SO GOOD and make for a great ending to your meal. A definite stop to make next time you're downtown. Menu Faves: Bruschetta, Puttanesca, Spaghetti Marinara, Chicken Parmesan, Gnocchi, Tiramisu, Cappuccino Cream Chocolate Mousse”

“Super cool spot, old school pho, aromatic and delicious, filling, priced in line with Bellingham, I’m not too into Pho but my family is, they say this is the spot! Diner vibe, much more hole in the wall than fine dining, chill vibe, I’ll go back for the Brisket pho!”
“This brewery is AWESOME! They host loads of community events, make delicious food/beers, and are an all-around awesome local business that's joined this town. They're easily one of the best restaurants meets breweries in town, and have made a name for themselves as a fan fave in BHAM. Menu Faves: House Margarita, Paloma, Bean Dip & Chips, Frijoles Con Queso Tacos, Carnitas Tacos, Chorizo Tacos, ALL of the Tamales, and any beer off their taplist! (Also, love that they give the option of having a tajin rim for your margarita!)”
“Pepperoni and margarita pizzas were super delicious. The mozzarella and Pepperoni are great quality, the crust is crispy and holds up well. The red sauce is well balanced and flavorfull, exactly what I was craving. Great selection on tap, something for every taste. Had a lot of fun building a 6 pack to go, love getting to try new brews and ciders without committing to a whole pack of a new beer. Service was kind and quick!”
“Loooooove these guys!! The women running the show are so nice and prompt! I get the Vegan Burrito, chips and salsa, and my favorite Jarritos flavor Tamarind to cool the heat that inevitably results from my scarfing my food.!!🤭☺️🤩 Definitely my go to for a quick an yummy dinner. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“There i was, an inkling to rob upon my heart, when suddenly my eyes gaze upon a pink-haired employee. The legends were true. A Warrior of great might, deterring my criminal heart, Rustin gazes upon me, as if she knew. She nodded as if to accept my change of heart. In Rustin we trustin”
“Was very hesitant to order from this place for a while, that was my biggest regret in life. After one bite, I knew I’m hooked! I’ll be back tomorrow for sure! Loved the tikka masala pizza! They also have some Coca-Cola products from India too! Definitely worth a try! Also, side note, quite impressed with how clean the restaurant was too! No dust or grime anywhere!”
“Went here with my husband, got their goat cheese salad and him a sandwich and drink. Coffee was good, food was hearty but the real standout was the service. It was a cold day and I was out by the fire pit, when one of the proprietors offered to grab me some gloves and clothing because I looked cold. Can't speak on the bike repair side, but when I was ordering there was sounded like a animated (in a good way) and in depth conversation in that part of the store and it seems like they'll have your bike covered for whatever it needs.”
“Two words: Crunchwraps & cocktails. This bar is awesome. Great atmosphere, efficient and friendly staff, and a menu full of some pretty unique and well blended cocktails. Also love that they have a small menu of snacks/crunchwraps to enjoy, and that there are vegan/vegetarian-friendly options! Menu Faves: - Food: Classic Crunchwrap, Vegan Crunchwrap, Dip Trio with queso, guac & pice de gallo and tortilla chips. - Drinks: Tiki Thai Iced Tea, Rotating Cocktail Slushie, Desert Rose, Le Tigre Be sure to support L&L Libations; you'll enjoy!”
“I just wanted to give a huge shoutout to MB for handing out free pizzas today! It’s awesome they gave back to the community during hard times. 🫶 The staff were so kind, the vibe was super welcoming, and it was just really cool to see a local spot give back to the community like that. You can tell they genuinely care! If anyone’s looking for a place with great energy, good people, and yummy food — this is the one!”
“THIS PLACE DESERVES SO MANY MORE FIVE STAR REVIEWS. Just moved back to town after being away since 2018, used to come here all the time. Made sure to make this one of my first stops after moving back. I sat down at my table and kind of expected the owner to recognize me, he did, but not only did he recognize me. HE REMEMBERED MY ORDER! I haven't been in his restaurant in at least seven years.... The quality and cost are already amazing but stuff like that is why this place has stuck around. The husband and wife are always there hands on doing the cooking and bussing and working hard making amazing food and they deserve all the success in the world. I'm happy to see them thriving and busy and excited to be a regular again.”
“meant to post earlier but I do food delivery with my husband in the evenings and we had an order to pick up here a week or so ago and we met Molly who was super kind and lovely. the pizza is amazing! all the best to your family, we will be back soon for more pizza ❤️”
“I give high marks for Lilias. Welcoming atmosphere. Great food. LOVE their salsa. Everything was delicious.”

“Bar Cicotti is an exquisite comfortable place with a beautiful patio both on the front and in the back in the amazing Light Catcher arboretum. The staff is incredibly friendly, professional, and welcoming, the food and drink is fabulous.”
“Black Sheep has easily become an iconic "Bellingham" restaurant with how much of a staple they are to so many. Love that it's 21+ and that they not only have a mega-awesome (and delish) cocktail menu, but additionally has food that's so good people constantly talk about it. Additionally fun to enjoy their breakfast menu when you swing by earlier in the day, and constantly just enjoy the atmosphere and service by staff. Faves Off the Menu: - Tacos: Carne Asada, Carnitas, Fried Chicken, Baja Fish, Pork Belly, Mushroom + Kale - Snacks: Chips + Guac, Queso Fundido, Salsa Trio, Queso Nachos - Breakfast: Potato & Black Bean Taco, Breakfast Burrito - Drinks: House Grapefruit/Raspberry-Lime/Blueberry-Lemon Soda (non-alcoholic), Dude-A-Rite (any flavor), House Paloma If you haven't yet checked out Black Sheep, consider it next on your list!”
“The duck curry is absolutely fantastic! I’ve only eaten at this establishment a few times but have been impressed with everything I have ever ordered! Best Thai in Whatcom County hands down!”
“Celebrated our 6 year anniversary with some Fiamma Pizza and it did not disappoint. The food was incredible, but the reason for this review is because the staff deserves all the praise! Lily was so so great! Friendly, attentive, and kind. I appreciate her helping us celebrate!”
“The desserts here are NEXT level. My sister and I discovered this place while up from Seattle to visit our dad in the hospital. The mango Passionfruit panna cotta is ahhh-mazing. We called in an order for 10 more a few weeks later and made a special trip up to get them. Friendly and helpful staff too. All around this is a wonderful dessert place.”
“Absolutely some of the best pizza I’ve ever had. The gluten free pizza that my wife ordered had the best gluten free crust she has ever had. Amazing flavors and amazing crust. Top notch all around!”
“Lovely little place. The manager is SUUUPER nice. I don't drink so she made me a Moctail. It was amazing.”
“This place is DELICIOUS! So many great appetizers, sushi rolls and of course, the ramen! Plus, they have great service and really take the time to take care of each patron in the restaurant. Will definitely be back sometime soon to enjoy more! Our Faves off the Menu: 🍣 California Rolls with Tuna, Salmon, Albacore & Hamachi Nigiri 🍣 Vegetable Rolls 🍜 Hokkai Ramen 🍜 Vegetable Ramen 🍜 Donkatsu Chicken”

“As an Englishman in Bellingham, I appreciate having this place as it's like a British pub. Sadly, no prawn cocktail crisps but the lack thereof is balanced by the upside of no fist fights or Farage.”
“We love this restaurant. Authentic food made fresh by Korean chef. Highly recommend ! Enjoy”
“Amazing food and experience plus fast and attentive, absolutely a win win. I got the shrimp scampi and it is not your typical. Extremely flavorful and amazing presentation.”
“Great dining experience, you felt like you were in France. Salmon and a steak frites were outstanding along with the ricotta toast and little gem salad. The bisou cocktail was nummy. Can't wait to go back.”
“Olive Garden is always a reliable choice. The food was fresh, comforting, and flavorful, and the service was great—friendly, attentive, and quick. Portions are generous and worth the price. The atmosphere is nice and cozy, though it can get a bit busy at times. Overall, a solid experience and I’d definitely go back.”
“This is one of our favorite restaurants in Bellingham. The food is always delicious and there are so many great choices on their menu. Friendly staff and reasonable prices! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Hands down the best Thai food around the Bellingham area!!! I’ve been going to Maikham for a couple of years now and have never had anything but an amazing experience. The taste is incredible and their staff is awesome. Usanee, the head chef is very nice and personally makes sure you’re taken care of. I highly recommend!!!”
“I ordered a 16oz oat milk London Fog and it was delicious . It had a good sweetness level, good oat milk flavor and texture, and tea strength was flavorful and smooth. The wait was about 10 mins as there was only 1 tea maker and 1 order ahead of me but I’d say it was worth waiting.
They also have a lovely selection of loose teas / herbs.
I’d absolutely recommend to a friend.”
“Great atmosphere. Had pizza and beer and was so good! Love that they have such a variety on tap!”
“The Empty Bowls benefit was a huge success, thanks to the wonderful restaurants and bakeries who donated soup and bread. African Peanut soup and the Split Pea soup were crowd pleasers! Everyone enjoyed live music, picking out a local artist hand-made/thrown bowl, and eating delicious soup and bread. Thank you Colophon for supporting the essential work of @bellinghamfoodbank and @opportunity_council project Maple Alley Inn to fight hunger in our community.”
“Great food, great staff, great atmosphere. This is one of my favorite spots for brunch or dinner. A true gem away from downtown for food and a date”
“Great staff! Atmosphere is very cozy and friendly. Food is from the restaurant next door ( Brandywine). Would have warranted 5, but they are always out of the cauliflower bites!”
“My husband and mother-in-law and I went here for their jazz brunch. The music was great and the atmosphere was very fun. It was t very busy which was nice. The staff were all really friendly and great. The staff was really nice about accommodating for my dietary restriction too.”
“Everything I have ordered here has been amazing. My favorites are the eggplant pakora and all of the chicken and lamb dishes. The vindaloo is especially good. The vegetarian dishes are fantastic as well. I am a big fan of the saag paneer and their other spinach dishes. The bar is good with a decent selection of beer and drinks. The best part are the people, they are so friendly and happy to help you through the menu if you're new to Indian food. BEST INDIAN FOOD IN BELLINGHAM.”
“What can I say? We went in for lunch expecting a typical pizza joint....were we ever mistaken. We ordered several appetizers to try as much as we could for lunch. Everything was elevated just that right amount. Calling this Sliced is doing the restaurant an injustice. We will definitely be back. Salads, brushetta, kids pasta, risotto, and meatball sliders were simply delicious. Looking forward to date night with my wife.”
“The staff is great but they need to change up the menu! It used to change seasonally but it’s been the same stuff year round since before Covid.”
“Consistently been to Naan & Brew the last few years and would hands down mark them as one of the best places for Indian food in BHAM! Quality is consistently high with a variety of delicious options (including some great vegetarian/gluten-free dishes) and we always have great service when we come here! Menu Faves: Garlic naan, veggie samosas, chicken samosas, veggie pakoras, paneer pakoras, butter chicken, chicken tikka, lamb palak, channa masala & coconut chicken curry. Definitely a must-try here in town!”
“Sai was amazing to work with even on a busy holiday night when they were slammed as one of the only restaurants open on town. Beautiful full color menu. Amazing range of options that everyone in our large multigenerational family can find something they like. Personal touch and kindness. Allgery accomodation was easy and no issues happened. Great response to any mistake or correction (one item missed an add on and they fixed it immediately). Clean and beautiful decor. Easy parking. We will go back for take out and next time try dining in :) hopefully the have no fragrances in the bathrooms.”
“We family of 4 visited here for breakfast. Nice and friendly staffs, food was ok too! Nice atmosphere for quiet time with family. May be it can get crowded in the evening, due to the family room and pool table.”
“Cozy quaint place, definately the tastiest pizza I've had since getting here to Bellingham. There are a couple of fun arcade games. A new one with hundreds I think of games within it, like Galaga, Pac Man, Donkey Kong and the like. Analog games on the shelves too, I Love that.”
“Went to Whole Foods on a Friday night to pick up some fresh desserts as well as some milk and fresh fruit for the morning. Also went back in the morning to get everything we needed which was a latte, breakfast sandwich, croissants and from the buffet some bacon and scrambled eggs. Hit the spot, it was delicious.”
“Wanida has the best Thai food and service. Also- the W Express option for catering is AMAZING! We had catering for 40 people this past week and everyone was delighted by the quality of food. Thankful for you all!”
“Blue Fin offers the most beautifully prepared always fresh and delicious Japanese food. I have traveled to many countries including Japan and have never tasted better. The owners and staff are pleasant and helpful also. I really never order sushi etc. anyplace else.”
“The Cesar salad is incredible, their dressing is perfect! Asparagus was perfectly cooked, yellow potatoes were creamy... I did not care for my steak. It had an excellent char, however the menu said it is seasoned with an in-house blend but I could not taste anything, it wasnt even salted or peppered. It was cooked to my preference but was still very tough and I had a large piece of gristle that just didn't scream quality to me. I was quite disappointed about that but the wonderful service made up for it.”
“My wife and I made a Valentines Day trip to Bellingham. We had our dinner at Keenan's the food was excellent and the service was excellent also. They made it a memorable experience.”
“Delicious Food and Cocktails: Tried an Espresso Martini, Arancini Balls and the Chocolate Royale for dessert 🍨”
“Hungry for fresh and filling gluten free Thai food? Busara is the place you are looking for. They offer a dedicated gluten free and vegetarian menu with tremendous offerings. The Pad Thai chicken was exceptional with glorious tastes and ample portions. The Thai iced tea had a lovely deep woodsy taste to it, by far one of the best I have had. Try the restaurant-made coconut and Thai tea ice cream to round out your meal with a memorable and refreshing dessert.
Superb offerings! Great service, friendly and allergy friendly knowledgeable servers. The only complaint I have would be a recommendation to update the carpeting to further enhance the warm and welcoming environment.”
“Very good drink’s & food was delicious and the service was great. I o my wish we could move table together to be able to sit closer together 🤷🏻♀️”
“Wonderful place with wonderful people. Great environment & best restaurant in Bellingham”
“Went for lunch in a Saturday. They were fairly busy and appeared a little short handed so there was a bit of a wait. However, our server was amazing, kind, efficient, not stressed and she did a fantastic job. The tacos were delicious. We were so impressed with our entire experience.”
“We wanted to grab a bite after our movie and it seems like everyone else in the theatre had the same idea. The service was so quick, the drinks were perfect, and the waitress was so helpful (thank you for recommending that Chicken Bruschetta pizza).
They even offered to stay open later so we could wait for our Uber.
I'm not the type to write reviews.... but this place truly deserves it. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a great spot to unwind after a movie.”
“Mount Bakery never fails to disappoint with their delish pastries (especially the croissants) and baller breakfast items. Definitely a BHAM staple and love that they have locations in both the Downtown and Fairhaven parts of town. Definitely recommend this local spot!”
“I had a great experience at Jalapeños! The food was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The tacos were well seasoned, the ingredients tasted high quality, and the portions were generous without feeling heavy. You can really tell they focus on authentic flavors rather than just fast Tex-Mex style dishes.
The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, making it a perfect spot for a casual lunch or relaxed dinner downtown. Staff were friendly, attentive, and made sure everything came out quickly.
If you’re looking for a satisfying Mexican meal with bold flavors and a comfortable vibe, Jalapeños is definitely worth a visit. I’ll be coming back to try more of the menu!”
“The best Thai food I’ve ever had! Their curries are the best! Consistently delicious and flavorful, my family loves their food.”
“Loved the food and Tuesdays are so kid friendly amazing environment.”
“This is a chain pizza restaurant. What makes me most happy is that there are two girls wearing glasses here. They are friendly, gentle and kind. I like their service very much!”
“Best fish and chips I've ever had! Perfect beautiful views ! Highly recommended!”
“I love this place!! So many wins, though not everything is perfect. My favorites are the chicken on a stick, the muscles and clams. The cheese filled mushrooms. The sushi is good. Lots of fruit in the desert section. The staff is fast and kind. Avoid the "carve it yourself" steak cause it gets cold. Love the egg drop soup. Interior is beautiful and clean. They always play floaty soothing music. I recommend it to everyone!!”

“The Souvlaki meal with pork, chicken or beef on a skewer seasoned, along with the rice that is the best rice I have tasted and the Greek salad that comes with it with the excellent dressing happens to be the best restaurant meal I have ever had. I have been coming here for the last 30 years to order that meal only when I am in town and it has always been consistently prepared the same way. I recommend that meal to anyone.”
“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.”
“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!”
“I took my first bite and thought, " S**** I'm sharing. " yes, they're great for sharing, but you won't want to. 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.”

“Their food is delicious. They have some traditional bbq items that are a staple for all bbq joints, but also have some unique sandwiches. Their buns are to-die-for, baked with rosemary. I could eat them all day. We brought a large group of about 20 for my husbands 30th birthday. No one had ever been. Everyone left happy. Thank you Big Stick BBQ!”
“Ive eaten here 8 times in the past month or 2, ive made it a weekly thing now.
I normally order on doordash but today i went in person, staff was nice and the place looked clean.
The food is consistently good, i normally get bacon burgers and chicken pastas.
This is the only place that makes chicken exciting for me, its perfectly made.
the pic is the bourbon street chicken and sausage pasta ive been getting every week lately”
“A hidden gem. They used to have a buffet, which I didn't like, but now everything is ordered fresh off the menu. The dish my wife ordered was too spicy for her, and the waiter insisted on replacing it with mild buttered chicken at no extra cost. The buttered chicken was excellent. If you like Indian food, give it a try.”
“We lived, year around, 17 + years in Southern Arizona and know the great quality Mexican restaurant cuisine very well, especially from the best in the city of South Tucson. In Whatcom County, I added the New Mexico Tamale Company as the very best place to buy tamales when you don’t have the time nor skills to make your own. It’s. est to pre-order, about 2 weeks ahead, for your order to be filled. Suggestion: When placing your order, request them to add more Santa Fe mild chile puree to the selected meat or chicken product or they might be on the dry side when re-heated (steamed). Excellent service. Good quality. Their tamales are well balanced between the filling and the masa. The secret to evaluating good tamales from bad ones is whether the company mixes an adequate amount of red chile puree to the masa when mixing, to enhance the full flavor profile. The New Mexico Tamale Company does it right! Theirs are very close to the way we used to make our beef tamales at home (we usually made 12 dozen every November, for the freezer. RATING: 4.9 stars out of 5.0 stars. Give them a try, you will return for more, again and again. Would they survive in South Tucson? Absolutely !”
“Can't speak highly enough about this place and the people that run it. We had them cater our wedding and everything was absolutely fantastic. They were timely and the food was hot and delicious. They were also so incredibly friendly and helpful. We could not be happier. Everyone at the wedding complimented on how good the food and service was. I would highly recommend them for catering or even just for a great meal!”

“Share tea… it’s one of the best boba shops in Bellingham if not the best (my opinion) very friendly staff and I’ve never had a bad experience here. The owners are very hardworking people and kind. Whenever I’m in there the workers always are happy to be there.
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”
“Bryson Filipino is a wonderful addition to our restaurant community in Bellingham! He catered our son's wedding last summer and everyone raved about the food. in fact the 1st people were wanting seconds before the last folks got through the line! Bry odd going a great job keeping his restaurant open during these challenging times! I hope people continue to support him!”
“I've never been to this place, but decided to give it a try because of the rating. Every single dish of food was DELICIOUS, and the favorite at the table was the birria, hands-down! The server was very kind, the largest tables seat 4 but she connected tables for us to seat 5, and the food timing was great while we munched on chips and salsa. Will definitely return to try more dishes! :)”
“This cafe is one of my favorites in town and I have taken multiple friends/family here! They have fun rotating seasonal drinks, a clean and visually appealing interior, dog-friendly outdoor patio space with water bowls available to borrow, and out-of-this-world scratch made biscuits. I love that I can use a punch card for biscuits and drinks too! Their roasted coffee is delicious, I especially love the birch latte. For food my partner loves the pimento biscuit sandwich, and I'm partial to the biscuit with high quality raspberry jam and butter. The indoor space is small, and it can get busy on a weekend! The huge windows are very inviting and it's great people watching from inside.”
“LakeLine is awesome! Great atmosphere, super cozy and lots of great food and drink items on the menu. Everything we tried was delicious and the dill pickle dip, while creamier than we thought it was going to be, was a fun and super tasty dip. Also love that it's the neighborhood cafe for Silver Beach residents! 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!”
“The desserts here are NEXT level. My sister and I discovered this place while up from Seattle to visit our dad in the hospital. The mango Passionfruit panna cotta is ahhh-mazing. We called in an order for 10 more a few weeks later and made a special trip up to get them. Friendly and helpful staff too. All around this is a wonderful dessert place.”
“Wow the service and food and coffee are unbelievable! The woman working the coffee stand was so kind, helpful, warm, and was ripping through orders! Their selection for breakfast was also really good and on the cheaper side of what most coffee stands are charging now. The coffee is excellent as well!”
“This is a quaint little place, well its not very little sense they have multiple floors. I stumbled upon this place while waiting for someone and I am glad I did. When I walked in I was overwhelmed by lots of different kinds of yarn. After I walked around a tiny bit I decided to check out their little coffee shop menu and proceeded to order a turkey sandwich. The lady behind the counter was super sweet and she let me try all three of their different kinds of mustard. As she was making my sandwich we were talking and she was telling me how they are a nut free business and that everything they have is locally sourced. The sandwich was really good and so was the coffee I ordered at a decent price as well. So if your looking for yarn and live in bellingham this is your place! Go give them a look.”
“Awesome service, great food, fantastic cocktails, and a substantive wine list. Strongly recommend!”
