20 Best American Restaurants near Orcas

“We enjoyed our 40th wedding anniversary here. Can’t say enough about the staff and the food. They were so welcoming to our Terrier Charlie T. And talk about convenience...“

“Great breakfast- good service- good coffee- clean-“

“We ate at Ursa Minor for the third time last night. This lovely place never disappoints — from the ambience to the service to the uniquely innovative and delicious local dishes. Every. Single. Bite. Just so satisfying. We love the intimacy of the room and the service is perfect. There were four of us and we shared several items. The pacing was ideal. We had the BarnOwl bread with fermented yeast butter, cold fried chicken, cod fritters, black cod, roasted squash, duck confit, and gnocchi. It was a perfect evening. Ended with the panna cotta.“

“their meals were well portioned and very flavorful. love that they partner with the bakery down the road and serve their bread for toast. the atmosphere was nice, but if you get seated next to the patio door, expect to be blasted with cold air the entire meal.“

“See the photos for review.“

“Great spicy Mac and cheese!“

“I am having a love affair with the burgers AND crunchy hot tator tots at this amazingly cute and charming Drive In spot in town run by the friendliest most welcoming locals! 🍔“

“Such amazing food and amazing people at an amazing establishment! The Roast Beef and Rocket and the Victory Garden sandwiches are my favorite things to get, but you can’t go wrong with anything they have to offer! 😋“

“Small town friendliness together with fine dining charm! Food and atmosphere was excellent! Drinks delicate and delicious. I have dined everywhere on the island and can honestly say Blue Heron is hands down our new favorite!💙“

“In a lot of towns you pass local pubs like this and think, meh, it's a tavern, let's look for something else. But towns need their taverns, and Eastsound is lucky to have The Lower! There is an obvious pride in ownership going on here. Clean, comfy and warm interior, supremely friendly and welcoming staff, a really wide selection of beers and wines that ain't common in most pubs, and filled with a great local energy - you can tell that this is a regular gathering place for the community. We were there on an Open Mic Tuesday, which added to the charm and fun. Outstanding burgers (the only food we tried on this visit) and reasonable prices. Just enjoy it.“

“Great happening place in quite island!!“

“This was my first time visiting Orcas Island, we decided to pop in here and try it out due to them having GF options! I was pleasantly surprised at their GF options. It was so good, we came back the next night and ate on the patio!“

“Food was great service was wonderful thanks for putting in the extra effort it's a game day and ferries are hours behind and they nailed it“

“I don’t give 5 stars lightly, but the Haven absolutely deserves it! What a gem of a restaurant nestled in Lopez Village. Quality and flavor of food rivals most anything you can find in the big city. The service staff really works as a well-oiled machine, with non-stop — yet unobtrusive — attention to detail. Then the bar serves some of the most creative and delicious drinks imaginable. When you find yourself on Lopez, make every effort to stop by and enjoy!“

“This review is for the restaurant. The food is amazing. The vegetables, apples, and pears are all grown on the property. The freshness and flavor shine through. We had the Mad Hatter Chicken and Scallops. Highly recommend.“

“The French Toast I dreamt about all night. Then at breakfast my dream was totally fulfilled. I'm a happy camper with the Galley Rich Seubert“

“Long-time (~25 years) favorite San Juan Islands destination. Kathy and crew are great hosts. Amenities equal to, or greater than any other, and at an affordable price.“

“Great breakfast and mimosa. I especially loved the tater tots in lieu of hashbrowbs.“
