22 Best American Restaurants near La Conner

“Run, do not walk to Nell Thorn Restaurant & Pub restaurant in La Conner. From the second that you walk inside the front doors, you know…that you are not in Kansas anymore! The surroundings were warm, and very inviting, and I loved the fact that every single member of the staff that approached the table, introduced themselves by name. The view is so unbelievable. Looking out of the windows, and seeing the moon reflected off of the water in La Conner was simply put: Magic. I wasn’t necessarily going to have a cocktail, but when I looked at their list, I absolutely had to order their Manhattan, which was exemplary and used only the best ingredients. Their menu is very reasonably priced for the unbelievable culinary experience that they provide. I was having a hard time deciding on what to choose from the menu, and the chicken was recommended to me. I don’t normally eat chicken in a restaurant. But after reading the ingredients which included confit chicken, wild mushrooms, and a marsala sauce, I decided to change my mind. Finding out I was gluten intolerant they even suggested substituting the pasta, which was on the menu, with their fried polenta. It was magnificent! Every bite was crispy, and every portion of the plate had a different phenomenal flavor that just exploded in your mouth. The owner recommended a beautiful red wine which was the perfect accompaniment for our dinner. And don’t get me started on the desert that was smothered in a rum caramel sauce. I have not been able to stop thinking about my dining experience at Nell Thorn and I give it five stars… Two thumbs up and a whole hearted recommendation. Bravo Nell Thorn🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Bobbi“

“Definitely a more small town vibe here so we waited a bit for a menu and drinks but I expected that walking in blind to a new place however Julie the bartender is a incredible addition to this establishment. Right off the bat shes was kind, funny and accommodating - She served me and my sister and I got the sample while she got the fish and chips. I wish I could bring some of the fish and chips home - they might actually be the best in town but we were just passing through La Conner.

We initially just were looking for a place with pull tabs and this was a pleasant surprise to come down to from Anacortes.

Cant wait to pass through again“

“I have never been to your town, and it did not disappoint. I loved the businesses that made up the town. The food at your establishment was amazing and came out super fast. I ordered the guacamole which is always hit or miss for me because sometimes it’s spicy (don’t like spicy food) and other times it is not. It was prepared perfectly and I even tried the salsa, and let me be clear here, I am NOT a salsa person. However, it was delicious, and I will be back here again. Thanks for the fast service and good food“

“5th Street Bistro at the The Majestic Inn and Spa has been a favorite of mine for quite some time. Lauren and Caesha are top notch servers who value not only your business but your kindness. Check them out some time and enjoy the great food and atmosphere.“

“A'town is our favorite restaurant in Anacortes for a date night! The food is always amazing and I love that the ingredients are locally sourced and seasonal. Everything I've had there has been amazing and the service is always wonderful! Highly recommend“

“Food was priced reasonably. The server was fantastic and helpful. The 5 dishes we got were very tasty. Clam chowder could of been thicker with more clams and would have been nice to have oyster crackers. The hot turkey dinner was a little weird. The turkey was deep fried I think but the plate size was huge. Western burger's bacon was perfect. Their bacon is very thick and largely portioned.“

“What an amazing experience! The food was fantastic and the service was amazing. My husband and I had the Dungeness Crab Au Gratin and Dungeness Crab Cakes, along with a mouth-watering Rhubarb Crisp! We Highly Recommend!!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Everything was great as far as food and service, the important stuff. You could use more TVs to face different directions to the tables and a few napkins on the tables..“

“Love this place! The atmosphere is unique and inviting, the food is divine, the entertainment is always groovy, and the staff is lovely. It’s a must stop, if you are in the area take the ferry to Guemes for this experience. 💗“

“I absolutely love this place. if only I could win sometime that'd be great 😆 🤣“

“Had breakfast that was delivered very fast w/ friendly service! Fluffiest omelette i’ve ever had! Highly recommend“

“The price was was too high for some original burgers and fries. They even charge for dipping sauce which they even forgot with our orders when it was brought out. Kids meals wasn’t that great either. But I guess since the pandemic and their business was loosing money, had to spike the prices for their lost money. Used to be decent price before the Covid stuff. We wouldn’t of mind paying that much if the food was cooked and made better. Lesson learned, not coming back.“

“Good menu/food, service, reasonable prices and clean. Under new management...great changes already and more coming!“

“Stopped here on our way back to Missouri. I grew up just down the road from this place and this was my first time eating here ( I'm embarrassed to say). we had the fish and chips and shrimp basket, both were amazing! I have eaten A LOT of fish and chips in my life and this was hands down the best. I love the shaded outdoor dining area, it was clean and comfortable. The staff here, is super friendly. If there is a line DO NOT let it deter you from stopping. It is work the wait. I even got 5lbs of shrimp to take back to MO.“

“Very slow service. Very average but cold food. We won’t be going back“
