“Went there today with friends for breakfast...ordered the classic eggs benedict, was one of the best eggs Benny's I've ever had!! The atmosphere was amazing..got a table right away, no wait. Our server was the best! So friendly and attentive. I'll definitely be going back!!“

“I know this is a shameless plug, but I just finished eating a beef meat pie from Holly's, and I have to write this: I just found Holly's Meat Pies and had my first pie from them. I can't say enough about how delicious my pasty was!!!! Thank YOU! 🙏🏻 The crust is absolute perfection – not too dry, not oily. Perfectly cooked. The pie stayed hot even though I drove home. Wow! I got the beef, and the filling was perfect. The balance of the spices, herbs, the quality of the meat, the vegetables and the onion was superior and absolutely perfectly balanced. This lady has skills!! The taste is wonderful. Holly gave me samples of Ty's Barbecue Sauce and Pasty Sauce !!! Yummmmm! I tested the barbecue sauce because I couldn't resist – I'll be back for at least one bottle and it won't last long. And the pasty sauce was fantastic. I'm buying a bottle. I had never heard of putting any kind of sauce on my pasty, but I'll put this on it! The thing about the pasty is it's so good without the sauce, but it's great with the sauce, too. I alternated bites lol. 😆 Since the pasty is neither dry nor greasy, it stands on its own so perfectly that I couldn't imagine putting the sauce on it – until I tried! It kicks the flavor up a notch. I bought a frozen Chicken pie for later, and I "liberated" several menus - this is going to become a habit!!!! Can't wait to try the Vegan pie (🥧 mushrooms!!), and the lamb pie and the entire menu! Feels like I found a culinary goldmine that's right up my alley. I feel so lucky that this is in Bellingham, and that I don't live too far from it because I will be a frequent visitor. And they are so friendly- great, wholesome, quick, affordable food!! What's not to love?! 💕 I also want to say hello to Holly and to Andrea who I met today and who were so friendly & knowledgeable. Smart women getting it done!! ✅ They answered every question I had. If you haven't tried this place, you've got to go and try it. This is the ultimate easy portable health food! Great with soup 🥣, salad 🥗 and Bordeaux!! My belly is happy 😊! What a therapeutic experience!!“

“My wife hosted my 40th birthday there, for 18 people and they did amazing. Great service, wonderful drinks, delicious food. Will certainly be going back, thank you for being apart of making my birthday extra special.“

“Just incredible, honestly. The food, the service, the overall vibe, it's the whole package. Excellent food (We had the pesto gouda chicken and bacon balsamic Brussel sprouts). Very pleasant, attentive staff. Such a great experience, we will be back!“

“Great food, great staff, great atmosphere. This is one of my favorite spots for brunch or dinner. A true gem away from downtown for food and a date“

“Back of house knows what they are doing. When they make a special, it’s always good. However, Irish nachos used to be made with sliced potatoes. Now, it’s made with tater tots. Cheesecake used to be made in-house, basque style. Now, it’s store-bought.“

“My wife and I had a fabulous experience last Friday. We've been to many restaurants in our 30+ years of world travel and Carnal is with the best of them. Our server Renee and all the staff were pitch perfect.“

“The staff is great but they need to change up the menu! It used to change seasonally but it’s been the same stuff year round since before Covid.“

“This place is lowkey a silent sleeper because I feel like more people should know about how awesome Greene's is! Breakfast, lunch, dinner; they're all an option! Great pizza and delicious breakfast/brunch options! Love that they're in the part of town that's nestled right between south/central Bellingham (aka the Sunnyland Neighborhood), and everything on their menu is a hit. Menu Faves: Biscuts & Gravy, Breakfast Burrito, Sunnyland Scramble, Chicken & Waffles, Huevos Rancheros“

“If you enjoy delicious food 9 restaurant delivers perfection! You will not be disappointed with the exceptional service, quality and brilliance served here! I highly recommend this restaurant!! I would like to send 9 restaurant my gratitude and appreciation, for hiring incredible chefs! Outstanding!!!“

“I recently visited Bellingham Bar and Grill during their happy hour, which runs from 4:00 PM to 6:30 PM, Monday through Saturday. The happy hour steak and shrimp were absolutely delicious, and the house Cabernet complemented the meal perfectly. The happy hour prices are incredible, offering great value for such high-quality food and drinks. The atmosphere is welcoming, and the staff is attentive and friendly. I will definitely be back to enjoy more of their offerings!“

“We had a lovely evening. Amazing cocktails. Attentive and knowledgable staff. The bartender even gave us some tips for making cocktails at home. Beautifully made black cod. Best fries ever! Great burger. Dessert to die for. Copper River salmon cooked to perfection. We'll be back, many times.“

“Brandywine Kitchen nails it—local, fresh, and full of soul. The sandwiches? Phenomenal. The fries? Crispy golden miracles. The house sauces? Next level. You can taste the care in every bite.

Whether you’re grabbing a hearty lunch or settling in for a casual dinner, this spot delivers comfort food with craft-level execution. Bonus points for the warm, welcoming vibe and a menu that honors seasonal ingredients without being pretentious.

This place makes Bellingham proud. Go hungry, leave smiling.“

“I was expecting lame diner food, as we were only here cause it's the oldest restaurant.
But the food was great. Even the tots have effort in them with some herbs and something else in there. I got the chicken fried chicken with a side biscuit and it was banging. Flavorful moist chicken breast with a crispy crust.
Queso is passable, but I grew up in Texas so I am pretty biased.“

“Best fish and chips I've ever had! Perfect beautiful views ! Highly recommended!“

“Always good for a preflight cocktail“

“Very good drink’s & food was delicious and the service was great. I o my wish we could move table together to be able to sit closer together 🤷🏻‍♀️“

“Great location for a restaurant serving American food; we had the halibut and ahi tacos, steak, and chips queso;
Tacos were good but overall serving size was small; fries were good but not crispy enough
Friendly staff and good views of the docks“
