New American Restaurants near Vashon, WA

“We Love Ruby Brink! Burger night—say no more…! The beef dip sandwich on the lunch menu is another favorite. We love eating here for so many reasons though. This isn’t a “high staff turnover” type restaurant where you’ll be greeted by stressed out workers plastered with fake smiles fighting over tables like you might be used you. This is a grown-up establishment with grown-up food and grown-up and experienced, competent and empowered staff and I appreciate how this dynamic expressed itself in terms of guest experience. When I say that the food is grown-up I mean that it is carefully selected and prepared from scratch and this means it does not taste like what other restaurants are doing, which often is buying bags of frozen soup and sauces from the chef supply store to keep costs down and to keep everything tasting exactly the same, every time. You will taste different things here and that might surprise you. Ready yourself for that and enjoy!“

“Last night (a Saturday evening) was our first dinner at the Hardware Store Restaurant on Vashon Island, and it absolutely exceeded every expectation!

We ordered the steak tartare special and the farmers market lasagne, and both were incredible. Every bite was fresh, beautifully prepared, and full of flavor. You can really tell they put thought and care into both their seasonal specials and their ingredients.

What truly made the evening unforgettable, though, was our server, Christopher. Without question, he provided the best service I’ve experienced in all my years living in the Pacific Northwest. He was warm, genuinely welcoming, attentive without ever being intrusive, and made us feel like valued guests from the moment we sat down until we left. Hospitality like his is rare, and it made an already wonderful meal even more memorable.

We’ll happily be making the ferry ride back just to enjoy another fantastic dinner—and, hopefully, another evening with Christopher taking care of us. I’m already looking forward to bringing my mom so she can experience this wonderful restaurant for herself. Thank you for such a memorable evening!“

“I discovered this place today. It is, hands down, some of theeee best food I have eaten in Washington state. It is a spectacular blend of flavors and seasonings with 5 star presentation. My 4 year old obliterated the duck 🦆 sammich!“

“Fabulous venue for a Wedding ❤️“

“Best chicken fried steak in Washington!!“

“I’ve been coming here for a while and every single time, I’m treated with the same respect and friendliness that I look for in a business. Dani and Patti are two of my favorites, and they make me feel so at home when I’m here. The good food is just a plus, honestly.“

“Everything I’ve had here is so good! Feature items are always thoughtful and delicious. A regular menu go to is the twice baked potato, which is always so good. This weekend she featured a crab roll, which is one of the best I’ve ever had service is friendly and personal, and the environment is very cozy and welcoming.“

“Great breakfast and cinnamon rolls.“

“Greeter was rude. Like it was a trouble for him to get up from folding napkins to seat me at a table instead of going to the bar like he suggested. Actual server was nice. Food was good but overpriced($32 for a chicken burger and fries, no drink) and the 20% automatic tipping is a huge turnoff. This tipping culture is too much, tipping should be optional. Atmosphere of cars is cool.“

“Hands down best Nachos period. Find another joint that has better nachos and we can have a challenge. The whole menu is on point. Can't miss, with this PNW BBQ“

“Always great food we go there often for date night😋🤫“

“Absolutely delicious!!! I had halibut with peach sauce, wild rice and arugula. Out of this world. I'm going back. Barry Doll had the duck. He loved it, but it's going off the menu. The menu rotates so you have to go often. We had the goat cheese appetizer. Perfection. The cheesecake with lemon for dessert. This is a great place to check out. We will be going back more often. Executive chef, Mike, has turned this place around. Such attentive staff that were working hard to help us enjoy our evening. Outdoor seating. Waterfront view. Must try...“

“A fantastic place to eat amazing food. The owner was so personable and friendly. This is definitely a place that we will come back to.“

“Great food, service and vibe! Will definitely be back“

“Love this place. Been going here for years.“

“love this place! Great food and drinks!“

“Great food and fast service! The waitress was wonderful! I had the grilled salmon. it was amazing!“

“Perfect burgers & cocktails“

“We decided to grab some burgers while catching the World Cup, and it turned out to be such a great experience. The food was delicious, and the service was quick and efficient, making sure we got a great seat right away. The atmosphere was amazing — everyone was having a good time, which made the whole experience even better. The drinks were definitely something different, but surprisingly enjoyable.“

“Great views of Seattle and a fun course to play“

“Delicious! Little drafty and close quarters. Loud party in the in closed porch and the bartender was uber busy. With that being said, he was excited about the food, friendly, and delightful to deal with. Once the food came, I was blown away by the flavor. Fried brussel sprouts were so good my coworkers and I were laughingly fighting over who got to finish them. Everyone loved their meals. I had the Lamb Ragu (no cheese and it didn't suffer for the lack of it) and it was so good I'm afraid I'm going to be chasing to find a red sauce that good again. Can't say much about the drinks since I only had a perfectly traditional hot toddy but I would definitely try more. Absolutely recommend this and apparently it's side by restaurant 909. I might recommend calling ahead for a reservation there. Even on a Tuesday night this place had a well deserved full house.“

“Great dining. Excellent staff taking care of details. Food was delish !“

“We had a date night here and were absolutely impressed. The Beecher’s grilled cheese and butternut squash soup was a stand out. Both of our pasta entrees were phenomenal as well. The star of the show, though, was our dessert, which was a deconstructed PB&J. I don’t think I’ve ever had something that had such a wide variety of complementary textures. It was amazing and flavorful.“

“Great food and beer/cider list“

“Excellent dinner beautiful presented and cooked to perfection. We will be returning very soon.“

“I always go to the smoke shop next door and I figured I'd stop in here and grab something to eat. I was not disappointed in the least bit. One of the best milkshakes that I've had in all of the Seattle area. I ordered the fish and chips and it was absolutely fire. Was served my food in under 5 minutes. Delicious, fast and worth the money. I would much rather eat here than at Dick's burgers to be honest.“

“Always my favorite bar. Love Juliet!“

“This is the best new spot in town. Highly recommend. Their dishes are served as you asked, hot, fresh, and incredibly unique. Their reception is out of this world. I will definitely come back for an amazing time. No doubt. Try this new spot out and you will never regret the experience.“

“Solid lox sandwich, but not sure if it's $18 good. Maybe that's just the way of the world at this point. I'm originally from the Northeast (upper right) where good bagels are ubiquitous. I do have to say that these bagels are very good. Pricey, but good. The guy working the window seemed like he might be serving a community service sentence, or perhaps he was just hung over. But I was there for the product, not the service, so I won't ding them for the aloofness. (The person working the donut window next door was lovely and politely pointed me in the right direction, since the bagel window isn't as obvious.) Would I go back? Maybe. But at this price, these bagels seem more like a high end treat than a regular occurrence. Check it out for yourself. I didn't think you'll be disappointed.“

“Recently came here for breakfast with my mom. Great service and a cozy atmosphere. We were seated quickly and didn’t have to wait long for the food to be served. We ordered pancakes and an omelette to share. Absolutely love the berry bar feature that came with the pancake order. The house made whipped cream was delicious and we enjoyed all the fresh fruit options. The pancakes themselves left something to be desired, very thick and dry but that could just be personal preference. The omelette was decent enough and we enjoyed our overall experience.“
