We stopped here for lunch on our way back to California from Canada. I saw online that a large portion of the menu was available gluten-free and wanted to try it.
We walked in at 12:09 (it opens at noon) and there were already four tables seated and two groups in line at the counter ahead of us. I took that as a good sign!
The restaurant itself was very cute - open, spacious and inviting with lots of art on the walls. We ordered and sat at a table in the front by the window. About ten minutes later my husband went to wash his hands, and when he came back he said it was weird, no one was in the kitchen cooking but our food hadn’t come out yet. Finally after waiting 30 minutes, he went up to the counter to ask. The family that ordered just ahead of us hasn’t gotten their food either. I guess the kitchen printer broke and the kitchen never got our orders.
They apologized and offered to either return our money or make our food quickly. The family had two young kids and got their money back (they looked so disappointed). We waited for our food and I’m so glad we did. It was DELICIOUS. The portions were large and everything tasted fresh. I had the cauliflower tacos with a side salad and my husband had chimichurri steak tacos with fries. He always asks for his fries extra crispy and they almost never come out that way but Brandywine got it exactly right.
The person who took our order was very apologetic, brought us complimentary dipping sauces for the fries and offered us a free dessert if we wanted one. He agreed that the mistake shouldn’t have happened (which it shouldn’t - someone should have noticed the two tables sitting there with no food and no tickets in the kitchen).
Unfortunately their desserts are prepackaged and none were gluten-free, which seemed odd to me when their website proudly claims their focus on GF food. (Not that we needed the sugar.)
I would definitely recommend the food and it’s such a great space. Just check in if your food isn’t out quickly!

I ate one of the burgers yesterday and me and my friend got gnarly food poisoning. This has been the worst day of my life, I had to sleep on the bathroom floor last night clinging to life.

A great spot for gluten free in Bellingham! I’ve always wanted to try fish and chips but they’re never gluten free. These are naturally gluten free and were DELICIOUS! Crispy and very tasty and even reheated well. (I dug into them so fast I didn’t get photos until after) The soup was also very yummy. There’s a laid back atmosphere and the team was super friendly and helpful.

Truly one of the best places in Bellingham. I always order the Apple Jalapeño Chicken sandwich with the fries and side of basil aioli. It is the comfort food of dreams, with just the right amount of flavor. The chicken is always perfect, and the spicy Jalapeños add the right amount of heat. I hope this never leaves the menu. The French fries are also very tasty. I highly recommend this restaurant!

Brandywine Kitchen in Bellingham is a very nice quaint place to grab a bite to eat. I went on a Friday early afternoon and I was immediately excited about the quiet atmosphere so I could unwind after my hour drive to Bellingham. The only other patrons were two small families that didn't talk loudly. A handwritten sign instructs you to go to the counter at the back of the longish restaurant to order. Ring a small bell there if nobody is at the counter as the people working the kitchen also work every other part of the place. The menu is written on a big overhead board at the counter area. The menu is diverse between vegetarian and non vegetarian selections. I had a Philly Cheesesteak that was quite tasty and came with properly cooked fries which I doused with hot sauce to make them spicy. My wife ordered the Fish and Chips remarking favorably on the freshness of the fish and the quality of the breading and cook. We only drank water, but they do have a small bar with some fresh beers on tap. Table service was good. All the employees were helpful and answered all our questions. The guy we dealt with was extremely nice. There is a small outdoor seating area out front. Overall, I truly enjoyed the food and the atmosphere.

I ordered the Rocket BLT. It was terrible. Bacon was good, but bread was soggy with some other strange ingredients. The salad was a lot of nothing. The wine was cheap but largely gut-rot.
Really great spot, place was clean and food was great, out fairly quick. I got the Korean fried chicken sandwich and it was great, really moist and crispy and great flavor. Really good gluten free options, gluten free burger bun was good.

Tons of gluten-free options, plus house-made baked bread every morning for gluten eaters. Try the triple b burger, with the hand-cut fries, you won't regret it!

Lots of great gluten free options! I have celiac and i have never had a reaction from here! Their frier is all gluten free and they will change gloves if requested.
