“My boyfriend and I went here for my birthday dinner and their meat platter of pork belly, pulled pork, and brisket was DELICIOUS. The meat was cooked so well that we felt like it didn’t need any sauces, it already had such great flavor and texture. We got a side of their pickled jalapeño and they seem to be made in house and had such a great crunch and flavor. They also paired really well with the pulled pork and pit scrap chili.The service and atmosphere was laid back and kind and I really liked their chicken wall in the dine-in area.”

“First time trying this place out. We were expecting a gastropub style but were pleasantly surprised as it was much more upscale and very nice inside. The service was good, and the food was unique and tasty. They have an excellent selection of ciders, and a lot of the food is locally sourced. We had the 6th Anniversary dinner for two. They give you a good selection to choose from and we had more than enough to eat. The portions were large, and the food was fresh and hot. It's definitely worth trying, thus place out if you haven't.Parking: Parking is either street, or there is a lot around the back of the building next to the post office.”

The miso soup was hot, and the tea was very tasty. We had the calamari - very fresh and cooked perfectly. I love it when the calamari comes out with the tentacles. Soo tasty! We also had three rolls, the Spider Roll, Wild Thing, and the Super Tempura roll. All were very fresh and tasty. The fresh fish was melt in your mouth.

At the time it was the only nonsmoking bar in town and that was a great draw. I remember the opening night quite well - before opening time there was a line up the stairs and within minutes the place was jam-packed until closing.The original owner was kind of a jerk (not just because I was fired!). I guess it's on the 3rd owner now. This was the first time I've been back since my inglorious departure about 30 years ago. This visit - 30 years later, my buddies and I had a great time over great brew and and grub (I had the elk burger). The server was great during our about 5 hours there. I would likely go back in fewer than 30 more years when I make my way back to Bham!”

I wish the non-date ingredients were increased a bit so we could taste them more but overall very flavorful. Excellent quality and decent prices. The drinks were fantastic as well. I had a Dark Matter (10/10) and my partner had a nonalcoholic negroni (9/10). Very dynamic, both a good blend of bitter and sweet without being too sweet.

Upon sitting down, we were offered complimentary chips and salsa. The chips and salsa were very delicious. You can taste that it is home made. The carne asada came with tortillas, rice and bean but I opted to have more rice instead. Overall, the food was good. Not a lot of places offer Lengua Tortas. Prices are quite reasonable.

“Great hidden wood-fired pizza place in the pocket of Fairhaven a few steps from Fairhaven Village Inn hotel and down the hill from the Village Bookstore.Cute sit down fast casual restaurant, relatively small place with around 15-20 tables with an additional semi covered seating area outside. If you have a party larger than 5, I suggest calling to see if there is an inside option available.We ordered the Matterhorn pizza 12” and full Kale Caesar Salad which was plenty of food for us (2 adults).The Matterhorn is a must get with cheesy béchamel, Gruyere, thin potatoes, caramelized onions, and slightly sausage on a smoky, crispy yet chewy crust. Definitely one of the best pizzas we’ve had ever and wish this place was closer to our home.The homemade lemonades are delicious, slightly more tart than sweet which we love and I personally liked the rosemary option to give the lemonade an herbal flare.The Kale Caesar has my favorite cheese, grana padano, an anchovy base Caesar dressing, and a couple of lemon slices. I’m a big fan of anchovy to give a little salty flavor to the dressing especially when paired with the acidity of the lemons. The salad is well balanced and light to complement the pizza.Our server was super sweet and excited that we tried her favorite menu items.Overall amazing dining experience. Next time we are in Fairhaven, we will definitely stop by!”

Waffles are also made with milk and eggs.Dietary restrictions: Some drinks cannot be made without milk and the waffles are made with milk and eggsParking: Strip mall parking so usually there is a space nearbyKid-friendliness: Place is very kid friendly, cute lemon and K-pop theme (k-pop theme is music and tv behind counter, lemon is everywhere else)Wheelchair accessibility: Store is on the ground level with no stairs so no issue with steps.

“Probably the best burgers in town IMO. Fries are great and service is good.I always leave some sort of constructive feedback on all reviews so here it is:The visibility of the tap list on the wall is extremely low. It is black lettering on a dark green wall in low lighting.This makes it difficult for those with vision impairments including the elderly and color blind individuals to read.To be more accessible and inclusive of these people groups, I would recommend painting the letters white and/or mounting a spotlight to increase visibility.”

Also the blackened cod was perfectly cooked, tender and flavorful, served with a great tasting basmati almond parsley rice and broccolini.

The only reason the service is 3 stars is because it is just the owners and sometimes orders can be a bit slow, but they are an incredibly kind older couple and it has been just the two of them for years.”

“Swung by this joint for the first time during our Christmas break getaway with the wife and kiddos. Went for the BLT and wife got the chipotle black bean burger. Gotta say, we were both pretty impressed with the grub! Our kids both got fish and chips - it was so tasty that I had to snag a few fries for myself. Our server Alexander was super friendly and great with the kiddos. He let us know that Cyrus was the mastermind behind our burgers and he knocked it out of the park! Definitely bookmarking this spot for our next trip to Bellingham.”

“Honestly really good food considering it's at an airport (super small one at that) and it's the only restaurant in here. Arrived at BLI and had to kill a couple hours before friends arrived (driving to Canada). Super friendly wait staff, and although the food is pricey, fairly tasty! The cauliflower appetizer was nice and crispy, seasoned well with a nice dipping sauce. We were recommended any of the chicken dishes, so we got the chicken salad and chicken sandwich. Salad was actually the favorite of everything! Only downside is the price, with an appetizer, two entrees, and two beers running close to $100 with tip. But if I'm ever flying through BLI again, will make a pit stop here!”

“Decent little Mexican place in Fairhaven. We had a nice waiter who was from Honduras. He said he was learning English and did very well. We had to ask the kitchen to turn down the blaring music because it clashed with the softer ambient music playing in the dining room. There was was a little window above our heads that opened fr the kitchen. They turned it off immediately after we asked though so that was nice. The food is pretty standard Mexican fare. All 4 of us got a 2 item combo that came with beans & rice and a little lettuce salad, sour cream and guacamole. It was nice not to be charged for the latter 2 toppings. They had no problem with me getting 2 types of enchiladas-green with chicken and red with veggies. Others in our party got tacos & burritos. We all went away full & our Mexican cravings satiated for awhile.”
