50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Ferndale

“Amazing atmosphere for all occasions! We loved working with Tomas and his staff to plan an event here. The staff are wonderful to work with, not to mention DownTime Taps has an amazing selection of appetizers and drinks! Very highly recommend!“

“This was our first time going to Battle's kitchen. 10/10 for service , 10/10 for communication, 10/10 for food. There was a bit of a wait but as other reviews and us being understanding people we didnt care. They accommodated my request for our toddlers food plate to swap fish for small order of chicken strips. Our friend and my significant other got the cajun seafood basket and they said "They will definitely go into a food coma after eatting their entire order." my toddler loved everything and devored everything, I ate everything as well. We had all ordered the southern sweet tea also a 10/10 not too sweet not too bitter, just right. All in all safe to say We recommend this awesome establishment! Im so glad we discovered this place and definitely worth the 45 minute drive. We will definitely be back to try more of what their menu has to offer.“

“There is something for everyone at FrinGe!“

“Steak was delicious .. waitress was friendly“

“Kowloon Inn is truly a gem. What I value most in a restaurant is simple: great food, fast service, and fair prices—and they deliver on all three.

The server was friendly and genuine, which made the whole experience even better. The food was excellent—easily one of the best spots for this style of Chinese food. To put it in perspective, I’d say it outshines China Palace in Bellingham, and Panda Express would be a distant third.

The staff is quick and responsive, even when it gets busy (which is understandable given they’re short-staffed at times). But with 30 years in business, they clearly know how to make a mean chow mein.

If you go, I highly recommend their number combinations—they’re filling, tasty, and come out fast. Quick, yummy, and consistently satisfying—Kowloon Inn is second to none“

“Betty and I, had a spectacular exsperience last night , with a impropt, visit to The Leader Block..little date night, we Where The only couple in the place and got spoiled ,by Ree and Roberto. Our meal was outstanding . I give them 6 out of 5 stars“

“Carne Asada Tacos!!! Best I've ever had, like ever, ever!!!😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋“

“It's insane how good this place is and their "Second Breakfast" menu is to DIE FOR. Their food stands out amongst other restaurants' brunch/breakfast menu with their items like the savory Shakshuka and thick-cut french toast and I've never been somewhere else in town that does giant cut-fries that are flavored; such a fun experience! Menu Faves: Street Frites (Salt & Vinegar Flavor), Pretzel & Beer Cheese, French Toast w/ Berries & Cream, Farmers Cheese Pancakes, Shakshuka & Postmodern Breakfast Burrito (Bonus point for their delicious Bloody Mary Cocktail)“

“Delicious Dumplings, Oleg! Tried the Onion Dill and the Sundried Tomato 🍅 Very generous portions. Added on bacon 🥓, because why not? Can't wait to come back and try another flavor!“

“The Astoria sandwich was the first I tried today. It is delicious!!!“

“When we pulled up to the restaurant, we were greeted with a sign on the door asking customers to be nice to the staff. I was perplexed. During our visit there, all of the staff were exceptionally kind, helpful and attentive. I don’t know why they had to post that sign and it makes me sad that we’ve gotten to a place in this world where people have to remind others to be kind. The food was delicious and the service wonderful!“

“Best neighborhood bar around!! Tony has the secret sauce in good beer, good food truck(s), & amazing events for the community always giving back to various local charities. Did I mention live music with local music & Seahawks Sundays!“

“The best burger in Whatcom County by far! I can’t wait to go back and try all the things🤤“

“I give it a 3 out of 5. The food was wonderful. We got the pepperoni pizza, garlic knots and clam pasta dish. The place was very clean. the ONLY reason I cannot give this a place a 5 out of 5 is because the lady who was making looks like marscpone cheese at the front counter kept licking her fingers while making it ( I counted like 6 times in a 30 min wait time for food) then when they put the lid on the container they took thier finger and wiped off the excess and put it right in thier mouth and put it away. like i said the food was great ,but the whole time I got a whole show and it kinda ruined it for me especially since I drove over a hour to come to this place“

“Great, family friendly brewery with fun community events and local food trucks outside available for patrons to enjoy. Their beer and seltzer are delicious (with loads of fun options on tap) and their staff are incredible. Stemma consistently makes their mark as one of the best breweries in BHAM and is one of our all time favorites, for sure!“

“I just tried the pan fried chicken dumplings at Hello Huntersville festival and they were EXCELLENT…possibly the best I’ve had.“

“There i was, an inkling to rob upon my heart, when suddenly my eyes gaze upon a pink-haired employee. The legends were true. A Warrior of great might, deterring my criminal heart, Rustin gazes upon me, as if she knew. She nodded as if to accept my change of heart. In Rustin we trustin“

“Found this coffee served in a restaurant while visiting my son recently in Washington (they served the “Velvet Elvis” dark roast). I drove to Bellingham the next day to buy some and now have it shipped directly to me in Massachusetts! Absolutely perfect coffee. I am a serious but simple coffee drinker; I drink it black so I am pretty picky and this one is one of, if not the best I’ve ever had!“

“Absolutely amazing little find in Bellingham...delicious coffee and superfood lattes served up by the nicest barista in the most beautiful, serene setting. My favorite place to come hang out or work! 💕“

“Our Pug Rescue- Evergreen Pug Rescue recently held an event here and it was a 10/10 experience. Loved the selection of beer and cider to choose from. The staff was extremely friendly and Shannon who called out the bingo numbers was hilarious. Loved that our pug Gloria got to run around and meet all the other dogs and people.“

“Loved the selection of beers BUT they need to do a better job of checking expiration dates. We bought a Brett Porter from Belgium. We got it home and went to drink it… tasted a little off so checked the best before date… November 23, 2025. We bought it on July 30th 2026. Everything else has been great.“

“I just wanted to give a huge shoutout to MB for handing out free pizzas today! It’s awesome they gave back to the community during hard times. 🫶 The staff were so kind, the vibe was super welcoming, and it was just really cool to see a local spot give back to the community like that. You can tell they genuinely care! If anyone’s looking for a place with great energy, good people, and yummy food — this is the one!“

“Good beer Good enviroment I have a great time here“

“I'm from San Antonio Texas and I can assure you this is the real deal. Their Cabeza tacos, and tamales are the closest to San Antonio I can find. Their prices are reasonable, the service is extremely nice and friendly. And since I have a broken leg, I love the fact that I can call ahead and just drive through with no issues. The only drive-thru Mexican restaurant that I can think of in Bellingham -besides Taco Hell.“

“Aslan Depot is one of THE SPOTS in Downtown Bellingham! It's got a cozy lounge feel and a great menu of drink/food options! Consistently great happy hour/menu specials, awesome community events like weekly Jazz Nights, live jazz to Mario Kart and DJ sets out in their courtyard.

Also massive shoutout to their caesar salad, because it comes PILED HIGHHHHH with finely grated parmesan cheese (which is my new favorite way to eat a caesar).

Our Faves to Order: buffalo chicken wings, lemon pepper chicken wings, house salad, caesar salad, fries, ANY of their pizza options.“

“We love Bellewood! My husband and I bring all our visitors to the distillery for tasters and always leave with a bottle. The workers are so kind and helpful, and the owner is always there to greet us. He’s even poured some of our tasters for us!“

“Recently attended and helped plan a small wake for my friend’s father. My friend and I spoke with Garrett at the bar two days before the wake to let them know we’d be coming and he put us in touch with the owner Molly.
Both were beyond helpful, happy to assist and Molly followed up with me the day of the wake to ensure everything we would need was taken care of.
The night of the wake was great. Austin was the bartender working that night, knew we were coming and kept food and drinks moving throughout the evening. There was an Irish band playing traditional tunes and it made the atmosphere perfect.
The attention to detail in this bar is fantastic. If you’re looking for a cookie cutter Irish bar, this ain’t it. If you want an experience that closely mirrors a true Irish bar, you’ve found it.
Molly is an amazing bar owner, her staff is impeccable and the whisky choices are excellent!
Thank you Molly!“

“Nice, i love this place. Peaceful“

“Greek Town Food Truck in Bellingham is definitely worth checking out! I tried the slow-cooked 10-hour lamb gyro, and it was absolutely delicious. The lamb was incredibly flavorful and tender, and the whole gyro was easily one of the highlights of my visit.

Since it’s a food truck, the seating is outdoors, but they’re conveniently parked at a local brewery, which makes for a really fun and relaxed atmosphere.

If you’re in the Bellingham area and looking for some great Greek food, I highly recommend stopping by Greek Town and checking out their menu. I’ll definitely be back to try more!“

“Best Italian food in the Valley !! Alberto’s smile and service make the drive from Camano worth it“

“Muddy Waters is my favorite espresso stand in Whatcom County, hands down.

I've been ordering from Muddy Waters for a long time now and honestly can't believe it's taken me this long to write a review. Every single person I've encountered there has been so friendly, and I really love their values as a local business.

I always order the same thing (decaf latte with coconut milk, since I have dietary stuff going on), and it is consistently my favorite latte around. They use Cafe Darte coffee, and it's just good, quality coffee every time. I've never once gotten a bad drink from them, and at this point I've ordered more times than I can count.

Every once in a while I'll treat myself to their sausage breakfast wrap with a side of salsa, and it hits the spot every time. I love how they cook it. I honestly haven't branched out much beyond my usual order, but that's a testament to how happy I am with what I already get. Maybe I'll try the breakfast sandwich one of these days.

The service is fast too. Even when there are four or five cars ahead of me, I don't feel like I'm waiting long at all.
One thing to know: the parking lot is small and shared with the neighboring business building, so it can get a little tight when the espresso stand has a line. It's just part of the experience there, and regulars know to expect it. Not a complaint, just something to be aware of if it's your first visit.

If you're local, do yourself a favor and stop by. Great coffee, sweet people, and it's nice to support a business right in the neighborhood.“

“just didn't like the two beers I tried. Aftertaste was rude. skunky“

“Best place for sunny evening beer in Bellingham unless you are an introvert“

“Good beer Good enviroment I have a great time here“

“Excellent eats, coffee, atmosphere and employees... Can't recommend enough...“

“One of the best cider houses I've been to. They serve a diverse menu of ciders, like Elderberry cider, rose cider, pineapple habenero to name a few. Most are available in 6 packs to go. Great atmosphere and friendly staff. Always a stop when I'm in Bellingham. They have a small snack menu and plenty of swag!“

“I had a delicious thin-crust potato and sausage pizza, great hit with the balsamic vinegarette sauce (lunch special). Family shared the Chicago-style pepperoni, adding sausage, they liked it, not loved it, for the cost and preferred a softed bottom. NA drink selection was plentiful and my NA cocktail was flavorful and rich (44). Overall great place for a lunch deal and meal and lovely service.“
