Didn’t like the “baguette” they used for the French Dip. Was fresh but a good French Dip needs a softer bun to soak up that aus jus.
This place has the best wings! They grill them instead of deep frying them. Literally the best wings ever. All the other food is excellent as well. If you like wings , you have to try these.

We recently used Boundary Bay for catering at our wedding and are so happy we did!! All our guests raved about our appetizers and dinner entrees. For appetizers we had a savory dip spread and dates. Next up was salmon, marsala chicken and a vegan pasta primavera. Boundary Bay also offered a great variety of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. We especially enjoyed their oatmeal stout and Cedar Dust IPAs. Matt and his team were professional ninjas with communication, setup and takedown. So glad we went with our local favorite for our wedding!

Boundary Bay Brewing is a good spot, it has a variety of craft beers and tasty food. The outdoor area sometimes has live music, so check their schedule.

Food, service, and atmosphere are all 5 stars, but the beer is 4 stars, really good, but not great. The Reef Netter (Pale) is my favorite.

We visited 15 breweries on our Beercation. My mom who's a solid Miller Lite drinker said after her second sip of Boundary Lager, "this is my favorite beer". Then she had her Banh Mi Bowl... "this is the best food." She liked it so much that our last day in town three days later she requested this be a last stop for beer and food. I explained crowlers to her and asked if she wanted one, but she declined. We parked out front of the brewery @ a meter...after sticking my credit card in three times and getting an error we went to the brewery to ask for assistance... we know we're smarter than a meter! We asked hostess Brawnty which she just kept saying they have nothing to do w the meters. My mom asked if anyone could help us? Brawny directed us to bartender Madison who said she wasn't sure either but she could try to help, my mom & her went out to the meter. Surprise!! Bellingham... what?! You put your credit card in the meter so it doesn't even read the chip!! Meter hack... I guess. Brian was our friendly server and when we returned a few days later, he was our server again! I like the tap room, it's spacious and fun: read note the canoes and other things suspended near the ceiling. I was intrigued to try the beer as Boundary Bay was celebrating 29 years that week! My mom opted for the Boundary Lager, which she thoroughly enjoyed. I opted for small pours of the Scotch Ale and Forever Young Porter. For lunch she had the Banh Mi bowl. After discussing w Brian who recommended the Cubano I opted for Mama J's BBQ Pork. Ehhh... it was good....but underwhelming... nobody put the bbq sauce on it. It was juicy buy juicy pork w coleslaw wasn't what I was going for. The sides options were chips or baby red potatoes. Brian suggested the potatoes... I wouldn't do those again. I only had a few but they took up a lot of space in my belly so I took most of the sandwich home w me. I should have flagged Brian down but..... Passive Aggressive Midwesterner.... Clearly that didn't sway our decision to come back. My mom again got her Boundary Lager. I opted for the Oktoberfest and split the Banh Mi sandwich with my mom. I liked their use of kegs on the patio. Thanks Boundary Bay for delicious beers, ,meals and helpful staff.

I’ll start with the positive, the keg burger was fantastic and a top tier burger. It was the right amount of heat and toppings. We did have to wait 10 minutes to sit inside, although there seemed to be tables on the patio we could have sat at also it wasn’t that crowded at all. The food also took about 25 minutes to reach our table. Sitting at a drafty table, I think it was maybe an off day but a weekend lunch should have expected a bit better

Always a big fan of Boundary Bay but the atmosphere was centered around Oktoberfest and they didn't have a German band playing. Just a little room for improvement.

My mom is a SOLID Miller Lite drinker. She requested this beercation. Boundary Bay was her sixth brewery around town & she declared her beer the best she's had. We've ate @ several breweries as well. She also found the Banh Mi. her favorite meal. THANKS to Brian, Madison & Brronty for the great service! Especially Madison helping w the parking meter. Cheers!!

The service is always great and the food never disappoints! The vibe in Boundary Bay is always perfect. The bánh mì bowl is good (pretty spicy). The steamer clams were great.

I had salad and soup. My son had the burger and wifey had quesadillas I believe. They were all fantastic! I was shocked at how good the clam chowder soup was. BBB will be seeing us soon when we’re back in lovely Bellingham. A must go for all. Especially Canadians because that’s who we are. And the service was amazing as well as the atmosphere.

I was in Bellingham for business, on a Sunday, and stopped by Boundary Bay, on a recommendation, to get something to eat before heading home.
Parking was a little challenging due to my pickup. Luckily there were multiple options because I was visiting on Sunday afternoon.
After being seated, again a lot of seating choices, I studied my menu and found 6 sandwiches I wanted and had to choose one! This was probably my worst experience at Boundary Bay.
I spent an agonizing time figuring out my order, but eventually chose the Cubano sandwich on ciabatta with the roasted potatoes side.
I was NOT disappointed ?
The ciabatta was lightly toasted, adding a little crunch. The pork and ham with deliciously seasoned. The sandwich was just awesome!
The roasted potatoes the size of large grapes or olives and had their own seasoning. Unfortunately, I spent too long enjoying the ciabatta cubano and my potatoes were cold before I paid any attention to them. Even so, they were still tasty.
I chose to be seated at a table in the bar area and was watching a Seahawks Pre-season game until I lost interest to concentrate on my delicious sandwich.

Great Mac and cheese and I'm an expert! Also the German style pretzel is from Ralf's across the street and very legit. Took off one point because all the "add ons" are really expensive. If you want sour cream, guac, and meat on the nachos it adds on more than an additional $10. $5 for guac alone? Seems like the old menu included this for the $20 price but now it's $19 for vegetarian and over $30 to load it like nachos should exist.
One of the best salmon dinners I have had here in Bellingham.
We sat outside on the deck with beautiful flowers overhead, the sun streaming in and delicious food and wine. A gracious server completed the lovely lunch. I would really recommend Boundary Bay Brewery!
