Five Columns Greek Restaurant

Food here is incredible!

Great Greek food! Very friendly staff and they're also a family run business. So, of course I was happy to support a local small business! My only disappointment was no moussaka.

Way too expensive nothing to write home about. I won't go there again

A fabulous Greek restaurant with authentic cuisine. Very family friendly. All staff was so nice. We were greeted by what seems like the family that owns the restaurant and they were so warm and welcoming. The food was delicious and tasted like passed down recipes with Great Grandmas secret ingredient in every dish. Will be back!

I have always appreciated this restaurant, although my visits have been infrequent. I returned last week and, despite my concerns about the elevated prices, I found the food to be an excellent value. The $26 vegetarian plate is pricier than its meat counterpart, yet the generous portions of potatoes, spanakopita, and the substantial salad that accompanies the meal justify the cost.

The primary drawback is the restaurant's outdated appearance, which desperately requires renovation. Many aspects, including the bathroom facilities, seating, and tables, are of poor quality and lack proper maintenance. However, given the current struggles of Bellingham's restaurant industry, it seems unlikely that they will have the resources for improvements. I am thankful that Five Columns remains in operation, especially since my favorite Greek restaurant, Mykonos, faced significant challenges and ultimately closed. I sincerely hope for the continued success of Five Columns.

A recommendation I would propose is to implement a Student Special for individuals possessing a student ID, whether from high school or college. This initiative could feature smaller portion sizes accompanied by lower prices, thereby attracting more patrons who may hesitate due to concerns about value for money. Additionally, this approach could appeal to a demographic that requires more affordable dining options, potentially leading to an increase in overall customer attendance. A student menu or a value menu or a similar concept could effectively serve this purpose.

Great staff !
Great food !

Had the BEST made in house Fetachini Alfredo tonight! Welcoming hostess & server. I'll definitely be visiting this place again. Atmosphere was relaxing.

Reasonably good food, good size portions. Friendly servers. The chicken souvlaki had a great char broiled taste to it.

Super flavorful food, delightful attentive table service, comfortable relaxed seating with a flair of elegance. Never been disappointed and keep returning for good reason!

5 stars for 5 collums. Best Greek food in Washington. Amazing service to go along with it!

I don’t want to give a review because I would love to keep this place a hidden gem but the owners and workers deserve all the praise. They are beyond friendly and patient but the food is amazing. The owners are usually there and will be happy to tell you more about the menu.

One of our, if not our favorite spot! No matter what you get, it's always delectable!
