Awesome to see this place grow over the years. Such a solid option for eating downtown.

Great spot. Ordering/pick up needs to be simplified.

I love El Capitan’s! The atmosphere is amazing and great food! They even have a taproom! If you come to Bellingham you should definitely come get bratwurst or hot dog here.

El Capitan's is my favorite spot in Bellingham! The captain always takes great care of us here, my favorite spot to come with friends. I get my dog Seattle style, and live the pirate life!

I usually come here for the soft serve. I still have to make my way down the menu. I love talking to the owner and staff. Everyone is always so kind and friendly!
This used to be one of my favorite places to eat, before they moved. Sadly, the change has not been for the best.
First off, the ordering is strange. You order at a window outside, then walk around the corner and go inside to pick up your order. The go inside door is not visible from the ordering window, and it is all very non-intuative. Today the window was closed for washing, so even figuring out how to order was a challenge. Service was adequate, though they asked for a tip for boiling two dogs and dropping them on buns. The (Polish) dogs themselves were... off. I can't pinpoint what it was, and it might have been in the buns, but they jist tasted strange and unappealing. It was one of those food experiences where you wonder if you will regret it later.
El Cap's is a newer Bellingham tradition, and I hope I just caught them on a bad day.
Parking: Metered like all of downtown, and challenging to get a spot.

Just a supercool place for a dog, and maybe something more.

The owner was managing the store and things seemed a little chaotic. He was nice and told us it would be a little while for our order and offered to buy us a beer. When my hot dog came out, the onions and vegan cheese I ordered weren’t on it. He politely apologized, added the onions and couldn’t find the cheese; which was fine. I added condiments from the self serve station and took my dog to go. When I bit into it, the dog was hard and inedible. I am guessing it was over cooked. I also noticed the bun was very soft and realized I had not verified if it was vegan.

Top notch glizzies. Gluten free to boot.
Best glizzies ever guzzled, personally.

Showed up for the Sea Shanty sing along. Had a meatball sand and a couple drinks. It was a blast.
