16 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Oak Harbor

“Mai Thai is our go-to for Thai food. We chose it over Naung Mai in Oak Harbor initially because of the price difference, but the portions are bigger and there's more of your chosen meat/protein in the soups and entrees. That said- be aware you have to LIKE SPICE. Recently it has been difficult to get "spice 1", which should just be a hint. If you say "no spice", it's OK, but not Thai, right? But if there's a difference between 1 and 4, I can't tell. Our Pho soup tonight (spice 1) was burning our throats. The pad thai was OK at spice 1, but still quite a bit spicier than I would assume 1 would be. This is a new development for this restaurant, so it is probably a new chef. Just BE AWARE. Anyway, most people complain the food in the PNW is too bland, so you won't have that problem, at least! And as far as ordering, we use the online app. Add five mins to the time it says your pick up is ready. It is never ready. Door Dashers use this place constantly, and they clog the order process. There is indoor dining, but we have never used it, thanks to Covid protocols. Also- a final word on parking. The parking lot has been sectioned off from looping through the driver's ed school next door. Therefore the lot is super tough to turn and get out. You are better off parking along the strip by the salon to the left of the restaurant and walking up. Please be careful in this area of town at night.“

“A great warm place to strengthen relationships and honor loved ones with a meal to be remembered. Great service, Great food, Great time.“

“Whidbey coffee is great, the only place to get your coffee within a 50 mile radius of oak harbor.

However, recently when I went to whidbey coffee they had a trivia question, in which if you get the answer right, you would then get 50 cents off your drink.

The question was, “who was the first person to host SNL?”

A couple weeks before this I just watched a movie about the beginnings of Saturday Night Live, and knew the answer was George Carlin.

Out of the 3 possible answers they had listed, which included Steve Martin (who has hosted SNL 16 times), none of the possible answers were George Carlin.

I then said, well it’s not Steve Martin, which the barista said, are you sure, and I said yes.

Short story long, they had the right answer as Steve Martin, I said it wasn’t the right answer, they said look it up, I did, showed them it was George Carlin, and then they said well that’s the answer we got from the boss who made the question, and I did not get my 50 cents off.

I don’t care about 50 cents because it doesn’t matter, however, please, if you make a trivia question and then have a prize or reward for getting it right, make sure to have the right answer as an option. And also, if someone shows you that the answer you have is wrong, just take the 50 cents off and move on.

Great coffee though“

“Everything is awesome. Drag in, then fly out! I would live there.“

“It is not often that I go out of my way to write a google review or even think to write one- but I couldn't help but get over the outstanding customer service this team of baristas collectively provided every day I came in for the week I visited the area. A few times I was even served at my table and each time with the kindest smile or brief conversation. They go the extra mile for you and it shows.

P.S. Don't hesitate to try their banana chocolate chip loaf warmed or the garlic parmesan bagel toasted with cream cheese. YUM.“

“If you are in, near or going to Oak Harbor, WA and are a lover or even just a liker of bbq, Orlando’s Southern BBQ is very much worth the stop! These folks know how to BBQ ! First of all, they are so friendly and welcoming you can just feel the southern hospitality and how proud they are to serve their fabulous food! We each had the brisket and it was the very best we have EVER had! It literally melted in our mouths. The baked beans with their slight kick were A-mazing and the coleslaw was so incredibly fresh and moist. This place is quite large and they have a full bar with entertainment on the weekends. We give Orlando’s Southern BBQ in Oak Harbor WA a 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 rating hands down!!“

“My friend and I stopped here after spending time on Orcas Island. I was here visiting from Missouri and craving seafood. They accommodated my craving crab. Great service from a cute new employee who took great care of us. As well as the staff who took care of our meal. It was so good and we were so appreciative. I would whole heartedly recommend this place.“

“This Mexican restaurant is huge, large menu with a vegan option for every dish that they have. Vegan option includes jackfruit, beans, or impossible meat ($2/each item if ordering impossible). Highly recommend. Tried the wet burrito and enchilada and tacos rice and bean combo. Flavorful and delicious. They even have vegan cheese! AYCE cups and homemade salsas. Friendly staff. The staff is very familiar with vegan options.“

“Absolutely beautiful food.“

“Recently, Sunshine Drip accommodated a larger order for our group. Service was outstanding and flexible to our needs! Pasties delicious! Scones were moist, not hard and dry and just crumbled in your mouth!!! As one friend said, "Oooom hoom! Om nom, nom nom!!", and gave a thumbs up trying to avoid crumbs falling out of his mouth. :-)“

“This restaurant, the staff, the menu, and the owners are all cooler than an Eskimos backyard. The fresh ingredients, creativity and love for the culinary arts make for far superior dining experience. Oh, did I mention the bar upstairs with outdoor seating and a veil of the cove...“

“Wonderful homemade cookies, better than Mom's. So delicious and a great variety. order for family and friends long distance and have them delivered for the holidays.“

“Delicious food and a fun atmosphere.“

“The Captain Whidbey Inn is genuinely hygge!“

“I go to Port Angeles typically once a month. The last year, I have been making this trip on Tuesdays. I arrive at the ferry early and take a walk. That’s when I think, it would nice to have a coffee. Oh ya, Callens is right across the street. Unfortunately, they are closed on Tuesdays and don’t open till 9am the other days. I only bring this up because virtually every time, I see people walking up to find the only business capable of serving coffee at the ferry terminal closed. Obviously, I have no idea how much staffing they have and certainly they need a day off. I am only pointing out they have a captive audience here looking for coffee and possibly something to eat while they wait for the ferry. Thank you for the opportunity to express my thoughts as I would like to support this local business.“

“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.“
