The Hardware Store Restaurant

I came in a few minutes after they opened and I was greeted with smiles! My server, Lillian, was very nice and the fish & chips were probably some of the best I've ever had (super crunchy and the slaw is yummy!). Will definitely be visiting here again when I pop back over to the island next time.

Went there for my 60th birthday brunch. It was perfect - great food and awesome service. It was hard to decide what to order!

A shout out to our waiter; Christopher who we think did an excellent job serving us.

I had the clam chowder. It was delicious: The right amount of potatoes, the clams were tender, great flavor. I ordered the bowl instead of the cup and thought for the bowl size that the bowl was rather small.

My girlfriend had the Buddha Bowl. After eating, we found out they serve organic food purchased from island farmers when they can. I really like that. The Buddha Bowl was really good.

I knocked my overall stars down a notch because of the bathroom experience. My girlfriend went into the women's bathroom and since there were no towels to dry her hands after washing, she had to go into another bathroom to get towels.

I went into the men's bathroom. There was no hook in the stall to hang my jacket and the waste can for used paper towels was overflowing with a lot of used paper towels on the floor.

I might suggest management institute a system of a rotation of 1 employee each day being assigned to check the bathrooms every few hours to make sure they are clean and fully supplied.

The Hardware Store is fine. The food can be good, but the portions are conservative and the prices are high. My children love the French toast. Today my poached eggs were hard and our requested “side of bacon” was a singular slice for $4. The service is friendly, if inattentive.

We were at the end of a busy breakfast. Service was slow but the food was good. Recommend the clam chowder

Not bad. The fish and chips were expensive but fine... a little dry, but good. My server was friendly and helpful, but the place was pretty understaffed, so it was quite slow. I wanted to try the Key Lime pie, but after waiting around for a good while, I gave up and paid at the bar and left.

Food was ok, but was a bit disappointed after reading the reviews. The other restaurants nearby are nicer.

Was okay. I got the buttermilk chicken salad. Food fusion gave a nice taste of it all. But the taste of chicken on its own wasn’t great. Also overpriced for the tastes offered. But it was a good meal

Friendly service and the food is decent but kinda expensive. The main menu is kinda boring as well. However the place is well kept and clean. I'd revisit this establishment for sure and when I do I hope the menu is more exciting and unique.

I wish I could rate the service separately from the food. The service was outstanding, as usual.

This place used to be quite special. They had GF fish & chips, GF fried chicken and GF mac & cheese, among other GF options, which were all outstanding. Those of us that don’t have to eat GF also loved the menu offerings. It was all just really delish! We live out of state and make a point to come here every time we’re in the Seattle/Tacoma area, which is typically 2-3x per year. We brought our family this time.

The menu is very different from times past. Very little for those of us who must eat GF to choose from, even less for those who eat vegan. There were 6 of us, between the cost of the ferry ride and the meal, it was a $456 lesson that we won’t be repeating. (dessert, no alcohol, no other beverages except water for everyone at the table, just to give you an idea of the per person cost)

Unsure how this place has only 4.3 stars ⭐️, food was exceptional and fresh, great job to the staff.
