Breakfast restaurant
Located in Mount Vernon, Washington, the Mt. Vernon Calico Cupboard Café & Bakery offers a cozy, country-style space serving a variety of baked goods, coffee, and seasonal entrees. The café is known for its homemade real food breakfasts and scrumptious bakery items. With a focus on local food and friendly staff, it's a popular spot despite being crowded at times. The menu features gluten-free options and seasonal specialties like the Locals Favorite Brussels Sprout Hash.
I just happened across this place when I was cruising around Mt Vernon. I am SO GLAD I stopped by. First, the decor is rustic and charming with plenty of seating indoors and outside. The first thing you see are the bakery cases with entirely too many things that are tempting. Pastries, pies and cakes that look too good to pass by. They offer both savory and sweet items and delicious coffee. This is a full service restaurant as well and the menu offers something for everyone. They offer both traditional menu items as well as more unusual fare but everything that was ordered was more than tasty and portions so generous you will need a box to take home. The restaurant was spotlessly clean and the service was top notch. I highly recommend the bakery for quick takeout and the cafe for a wonderful sit-down meal.

Great place to stop into after the tulips. Crazy busy even on a weekday, but our party of 7 still only had to wait around a half hour. My avocado got a little brown before it even got to me. Presentation could have been cleaned up, but the chicken was thick and juicy and pesto and foccacia amazing. All the food was delicious, bakery looks incredible and they do allow to go orders if you want to sit outside and eat your to go order.

I had an opportunity to eat at the Calico Cupboard today and jumped at it. When I walked inside I found a sign over a book that asked diners to sign in. Shortly after I signed in a hostess walked up and led me to a table that was under a skylight. The hostess handed a menu to me and took my drink order. I asked for an “Arnold Palmer” and was surprised when I took a sip and tasted peaches. It would seem that Peach tea was used. Shortly after, a server walked up to take my order. I selected the Pulled Pork Hash w/2 fried eggs on top. I asked for over-easy eggs, but got over-medium. Oh well, it was still delicious! For dessert I asked for a slice of Peanut Butter Pie to go. Overall I was very pleased with my decision to eat at Calico Cupboard. The staff was pleasant and professional. The food was plentiful and delicious.

This place is fantastic! The service is amazing, and the food is incredible. The restaurant is quite large, but it was quite crowded when we went for lunch. However, it was worth the wait. The coffee and tacos were especially very very good. Would definitely recommend.

This is a must stop café. It’s such a warm friendly environment with a view of what your food experience is gonna be like at the front counter displaying dozens of wonderful bakery items. They have an extensive coffee bar people seem to come in and grab their bakery items and coffee to go. This is our second visit here and it was absolutely wonderful. We stopped for breakfast on our way to the hospital for surgery on my knee. So I got mine to go, which is one of the pictures I uploaded. Something that stands out here more than other Breakfast restaurants is their side of fruit is not just some melon thrown together, but in an arrangement of citrus, pineapple, and apples. Very inviting and very pallet cleansing. The weight staff is friendly and very well trained. They take care of even the smallest of needs.

Recently we stayed in Mount Vernon. Of course we needed to eat breakfast. Found the Calico Cupboard online and based on reviews it seemed like a good spot.. Overall it was an enjoyable place to eat breakfast. First of our server was friendly and generous with the coffee. Our cups were never empty. The restaurant was busy and our server had a good sized area to cover. I noticed she was able to serve everyone efficiently and spent time chatting with everyone. Love this! The food was fine. Nothing amazing. Not the best breakfast I have ever had. I was not expecting that. Portions were generous and looked appealing when we were served. My wife mentioned her eggs were a bit too runny for her preference. My omelet was very good. The restaurant is loud. Personally I find it difficult to hear when my wife is talking in a loud restaurant. This may not be an issue for you. The decor is nice and I like the exposed brick walls. The bakery case looks great. We picked up a couple of items to go.

Italian restaurant
Nestled in the heart of Mount Vernon, Il Granaio Authentic Italian Restaurant is a charming trattoria housed in a historic grainery. The restaurant offers an enchanting atmosphere with classic Italian tunes playing in the background, setting the stage for savoring delectable housemade pastas and authentic Italian dishes. Chef Alberto Candivi, a native of Italy, ensures that guests are treated to an authentic culinary experience using the freshest ingredients available.
Il Granaio is a gem! From the warm ambiance to the incredible service, everything was top-notch. Tony B was an outstanding waiter—friendly, attentive, and made us feel so welcome. The Chicken Parmesan was absolutely amazing: perfectly breaded, smothered in rich marinara, and topped with golden, melted mozzarella. Served over home made pasta, it was comforting and full of flavor. We also loved the creamy gnocchi—pillowy and indulgent. If you’re craving authentic Italian, this place is a must. And if you get Tony B, you’re in great hands!

If you think all Italian restaurants are the same prepare to be amazed. Fresh made pasta each day. Sunset menu with an amazing selection. The portions are unbelievable. Treat yourself to spaghetti you want to eat combined with an unctuous sauce.. Cooked to perfection. Music playing in the background, worthy of any sidewalk in Rome. The staff is beyond compare, my lovely Reyna was so helpful and nothing short of incredible.

Went in for dinner and it was AMAZING. our server, Tony, took such great care of us. I thought I knew what I wanted but once I heard they had a steak special I got that. My wife got a salmon dish with a mustard fettuccine and both were delicious. We both had different desserts as well and both were also very tasty.

Tony was amazing, very punctual and friendly! We were never waiting on Tony. Food was amazing and great portion! Great little spot to come to for some dinner, definitely would come again next time we’re in town, and we’ll ask for Tony to serve us again! Drinks also amazing!

We LOVED the food, and the waitress (Katie) was sweet and accepting. We do not eat out often but from now on when we are in Mount Vernon we will plan on eating at Il Granaio. We were there just after lunch time and Katie helped me to select the Strozzapreti Calabrese My wife ordered the Filet Minon Sliders. (Who would go to the best Italian in the Pacific Northwest and ordered sliders?) So, I will just say, The dish I had (Strozzapreti Calabrese) was awesome! The pasta was fresh and cooked to the perfect texture, The Italian sausage had the perfect amount of spicy, complemented by a rich red sauce and red peppers and capers topped by shredded basil and parmesan. I am a big eater, and the portion was large enough that I had to take the remaining portion home. We ordered a side of marinera to dip the delicious garlic bread. Good? Great? Even better then Great? The marinara. Delicious, rich, fresh and perfectly spiced. We took the last of the side order home. So, If you are visiting Mount Vernon they are right next to the Amtrak Station or if you are visiting the Skagit County Courthouse/County Clerk etc. They are a short walk to the east.

COA Mexican Eatery & Tequileria MV is a lively and welcoming restaurant in Mount Vernon that offers a diverse selection of authentic Mexican dishes and flavorful margaritas. The colorful interior creates an inviting atmosphere for guests to enjoy traditional favorites such as pollo en mole, bacon prawns, and grilled veggie burritos. Situated conveniently near the 5 freeway, this gem has garnered praise for its exceptional service and generous portion sizes.
We had a fantastic experience here! The food was delicious, fresh, and beautifully presented — every dish exceeded our expectations. What really made the evening special, though, was our server, Adriana. She was warm, attentive, and incredibly professional throughout the entire meal. She made sure everything was perfect without ever being intrusive and offered great recommendations as well. Her friendly attitude and genuine care really elevated our visit. Highly recommend this place — and if you can, ask for Adriana, she’s wonderful!

A perfect little spot for delicious Mexican food! We stopped by after a walk with Diego and instantly loved the cozy, colorful vibe — it smelled like spices, grilled tortillas, and good decisions. We started with crispy tortilla chips and fresh guacamole — smooth, zesty, and just right. Honestly, I could’ve eaten a whole bowl of that guac by myself. I ordered enchiladas and they were packed with flavor — warm, comforting, perfectly sauced, and nicely portioned. To top it off, I had a glass of sangria — fruity, refreshing, and perfect for a summer afternoon. Friendly service, great atmosphere, and super tasty food. 📍If you’re in Burlington and craving Mexican — COA is totally worth a stop. ⭐ 10/10 – would definitely come back (especially for the guac and sangria combo!).

This place was impossibly good. I'm often let down somehow, just a little, when I visit restaurants that have high ratings above 4.5, but this place exceeded expectations. We ordered several things, but the beans were the best beans I've had in my life, full stop. Creamy and flavorful and perfectly cooked, not a split bean in sight. I didn't know beans could be this good, and I love beans and cook them often! I could come here and eat just those and some rice and leave happy, but in addition to the beans, the margarita was top notch, the chips were fresh and crisp, the pork and chorizo dish I ordered was tender and flavorful and not overly fatty or greasy, and the poblano cream sauce on my spouse's enchiladas was unreal - so, so, good, you could put it on a piece of cardboard and I would eat it. Besides great food, the restaurant was beautifully decorated, comfortable and clean, and the service was warm and friendly. It's been a while since we've been anywhere that impressed us from start to finish, but this place really did. It's too bad we don't live that close, but we will absolutely travel an hour just to eat here again. 10/10.

La Catrina Tacos & Tequila is a lively Mexican eatery that has been serving authentic cuisine since 2011. The menu features a wide range of appetizers and entrees, but the star of the show is their flavorful tacos, including options like caramel asada and chorizada with chorizo, steak, and pineapple. The compact space offers a well-stocked bar with tequila cocktails and provides friendly service. Customers recommend trying the taco recommendations from servers for an enjoyable dining experience.
We stopped in on a Saturday evening (early) and from the time we walked in the door until. we left we experienced friendly service, great food & drink. Good thing we stopped in early as the place was filling up fast by the time we were getting ready to leave. If you like Tequila you will enjoy the well stocked bar. My wife had an interesting cocktail that was on the menu as a special. For the life of me I cannot remember what it was called. I had the Burrito Al Pastor and my wife enjoyed a Chimichanga. Both were delicious. Mount Vernon you've got a great place to have some tasty Mexican food right in your town!

The actual restaurant is nice, but the food was UNPLEASANT!! We stopped by for a quick lunch, in total we ordered 15 tacos , took advantage of the taco Tuesday special, I dont know if its cause they are $2 or what, but the Chorizo tacos were swimming in grease, it wasnt strained , literally full of grease, I took a picture of the grease from ONE taco, our stomachs hurt while in the restaurant. The asada tacos too were a bit greasy but not as bad. Not a good first experience.

Stopped here after going to Deception Pass for the day. Really good, well prepared, homemade food. The mole sauce on my enchiladas was tangy and superb.

First visit to Tacos and Tequila. It was a beautiful day, so the front wall, which appears to be a garage door, was fully open, letting the fresh air in. Loved that! Music was playing, akin to a nightclub, but at a more reasonable volume. Our waitress was attentive, kind and helpful. The bartender was great at his job… and easy on the eyes! We got tacos and they were fantastic!!! Bought many more to take home. Chips and fresh pico were also delicious. Looking forward to going back again.

Rachawadee Thai Café is an absolute gem for anyone craving authentic Thai flavors in a cozy, no-frills setting. The star of our meal was hands down the Thai Red Curry—rich, creamy, and perfectly spiced with a depth of flavor that only a skilled Thai chef can deliver. The heat level was spot-on, giving just the right kick without overpowering the dish. Every bite was a balance of warmth, spice, and savory delight. Though the space is small with limited seating, it adds to the charm—intimate, homey, and clearly focused on delivering exceptional food. The cooks here are outstanding. You can tell each dish is made with care and traditional know-how. The service was okay overall, though one odd moment stood out—when we asked for extra spoons, the staff lady seemed hesitant, almost like we were requesting something extravagant. She kept recounting the spoons and took a moment to hand them over, which felt a bit awkward for such a small ask. Still, the food more than made up for it. This is one of those places where you go for the flavor, not the frills. Highly recommend if you’re in Seattle and love Thai food that delivers authenticity and soul in every bite.

What. A. GEM!! I'm so disappointed that I've lived here in Skagit Valley for 7 years and NOBODY has told me about this place!! If you're looking for delicious and authentic Thai food, freshly cooked right in front of you, THIS is your place. There's only 8 seats and it's first come, first served, but if you're hungry for some of the best Thai you can find, it's worth the wait (if you have to wait). And to be honest, the atmosphere is great with such few seats. This will be my all time go-to for as long as I am in the valley. 10/10 if I could give it to them, but I can't so 5* will have to do.

If it's your first time tell them, their spice levels are not a joke. Be careful and you will love every bite! Great staff, talented chefs, we often get takeout and eat by the river and only occasionally eat in. Either option is fun. Staff handles food allergies well as the food is made fresh on site and they know their ingredients. I don't know where they get their basil and it's addictive. The freshness of the basil with their style of cooking is beyond 👌 😍

Nestled in the heart of historic downtown, Pacioni's Pizzeria is a delightful Italian eatery that specializes in Neapolitan-style pizzas and a range of traditional pasta and meat dishes. This charming spot has garnered attention for its award-winning pizza, including standout options like the Vegetariano—topped with roasted red bell peppers, sweet onions, toasted walnuts, and rosemary—and the zesty Lemon Chicken pizza featuring olive oil, chicken, garlic, spinach, lemon, and mozzarella.
Dined in on 6/25/25 and wow! We were very impressed with the food and service! We are from Alaska and my wife wanted Italian so we were walking in the area and decided to eat at this location, the place had about 6 tables with what looks to be one chef and one waitress and she was super friendly and very polite, keep the drinks filled and empty plates of the table, the chef was dishing out amazing food! We started with the bruschetta, which was great! Had great plate presentation and flavor was on point! My wife got the Sicilian Pene and was amazed on the flavors as well another great plate presentation. I had the Ruben panini and yes just as you would think it was great!!! Definitely top 5 Ruben sandwiches I have had and we will definitely be back again before we leave this state! We wanna say thank you so much to the chef or cook and the waitress for a lovely dining experience and you guys rocked it! Will highly recommend this place to all our friends and family in the area if they have not already tried it! Thank you again and you both deserve a raise!

I usually love this place, though have only been 5 or so times. Last night my partner and I got food to go, spaghetti and a calzone. I really do love the food here, I also understand resturaunt service because I have been in the industry myself. I understand mistakes do happen, but upon getting home and eating our food together, and sharing, we saw a meatball that was very under cooked and pink in the center. My calzone didn't have meat and was still warm so I felt comfortable eating that and sharing that instead because it was pretty big. Well this morning I have food poisioning to the degree of missing work, my partner has symptoms too. This has been very disappointing because this is a spot where my partner and I celebrate our anniversery. I know one of the cooks because we've seen him frequently and he wasn't present when I looked for him last night; maybe it was a new or different cook this one time.

My S.O. and myself were in the mood for some Italian inspired fare. We had been meaning to try this local spot for some time and finally made the move to stop in and try Pacioni's. Our food was as expected, nothing ground breaking. My S.O. remarked that the calzone's crust was good and she liked their marinara sauce. My turkey panini I felt could have been more sauce forward, I really didn't taste the pesto. The orzo pasta salad that came with the panini wasn't something we'll get again. Neither of us liked the flavor, it had a mild sweetness that was off putting to us. Remember taste is subjective, so maybe someone out there really likes it. That wasn't us though. Our service was impeccable, our waitress had great timing and was very accommodating to our visit. The atmosphere is exactly what you'd expect from an Italian place in its downtown location.

The overall experience was okay, when we first walked in one of the waitresses saw us and walked away so we had to wait for another waitress. First we thought she was a customer and then we realized she was a waitress too. The food... the taste can improve. The place was empty when we got there at 3pm but after 30 minutes it got busy so our waitress checked on us once after she brought the food.

What a great spot! My wife and I were finally able to come down and check out Pacioni's Pizzeria the other night and they did not disappoint.

Absolutely AMAZING hole in the wall style restaurant. Great food! Gigantic portions! Fresh squeezed OJ! Get the BISCUIT! Even if you don't eat it.. it will serve 3 people for breakfast the next day easy! (Reg size half & half for scale)

I'm going to be a little brutal because it's high-quality house made corned beef. I got the corned beef hash. The corned beef was in larger cubes and had an almost boiled texture and look. It also wasn't a hash it was corned beef with onions and green peppers. The coffee was great and kept coming.... That said, it still tasted good. Also, the eggs over med were perfect, and the rye toast was thick and delicious. The coffee was very good and the waitress was very attentive.

Went to Mr. T's for breakfast and it was fantastic! The food is hearty, delicious, and the portion sizes are huge—definitely a great value. I had the chicken fried steak sandwich with a side of gravy (for dipping) and french fries. The service was also quick and friendly, making for a perfect start to our day. Highly recommend this local gem!

Skagit Valley Food Co-op is a delightful place to shop for organic food in a friendly and relaxed yet efficient atmosphere. The industrious employees are always ready to help, and the store offers a variety of unique plants, rocks, crystals, kitchen accessories, and facial care products. It's known for reasonable prices on cleaner groceries compared to other stores.
I hadn’t been here in 15+ years, returning as an adult, I truly appreciate how fantastic it is! They carry anything and everything you could possibly want or need. Produce is vibrant, local, organic, reasonably priced - it was hard not to buy everything! Meat and deli department have great selections, like marinated meats, making dinner options easy. They have a great selection of ready-made meals (lasagna, soup, wild salmon, samosas, and salads). The bakery’s clearly a hit since by 1:00pm, many products had low-stock or were sold out, a sign of yummy treats! We shared a Raspberry Cream Cheese Turnover, it was decadent. Exploring the isles, everything’s fairly priced compared to alternate grocers, and many items had promotions. All staff we encountered were exceptionally friendly and welcoming! They have a super cute cafe, serving coffee, tea, sundaes and smoothies. Take a seat by the window to people watch, or enjoy additional seating upstairs.

We make it a point to stop here anytime we are in the area, which is usually on the way to camping or Whidbey Island ... this time (camping) we got some blueberries to put in our yogurt for breakfast while camping. They were delicious.. The garden, produce, wellness, and gift area (upstairs) are my favorites, but really the whole co-op is fantastic (it is much better than the Olympia Food Co-op, which is sad because that one is a lot closer). You don't need a membership to shop. There's usually parking available (though the lot can feel small when people drive and park wonky). The staff are usually pleasant and knowledgeable; the vibe is chill. See you next time we're in town Skagit Valley Food Coop!

It is always a pleasure to visit the co-op, there are my regular items I can depend on, and a few surprises too. I shop from all of the departments, and everything is excellent, meats, baked goods, produce. I try and go at times I am not in a rush so that I can grab a meal from the deli counter, fresh soups, sandwiches, and so much more. The items upstairs are perfect for gifts for anyone.

In town for a few days vacation but we came everyday; wish we had something similar in our hometown. Everything is fresh & there are events about sustainable farming. I was introduced to produce & fruits that I'd never seen/heard of before & the store just felt nourishing & sustaining. There's a deli area to get ready made meals & desserts too.

This is my new favorite co-op! So cozy/nice, you don’t have to walk by the cashiers (who at other locations don’t tend to like to greet people) to enter the store and shop. It’s a huge place and the produce section is top notch! Everything is organic there to my understanding and also their cafe area is amazing with many options. I’m a happy vegan here!

Wonderful community! ! Highly recommend. Well designed layout, easy to find items, friendly, helpful staff. Quality food and other products to choose from. I especially appreciate the deli and bakery, with their great go to food. The bulk section allows you to buy just what you need reducing wasted food, money and packaging. I especially appreciate the bulk spices, honey, syrup, coffee, and fresh ground nut butters. If bringing a container have it measured before so you don’t pay for its weight as well. The upstairs is a nice spot to pick out a gift for someone with local options. They take excellent care of their plants in the garden area as well. Lots of good at the coop.

We drive up from the Seattle area just to get the made-to-order sandwiches at the Mount Vernon Co-op - they’re that good. On the surface, it might seem like a simple sandwich, but everything is incredibly fresh and they offer sprouts! Sprouts just takes it to the next level. It’s the kind of sandwich that reminds you how satisfying real, fresh food can be. My only disappointment is that they never bought back the sourdough bread. It may seem small, but that bread made a great sandwich even better, and its absence is definitely felt. Still, the staff are friendly, the co-op has a welcoming, community-focused vibe, and the food is made with care. Even without the sourdough, it’s absolutely worth the trip from Seattle, and it remains one of our favorite road trips.

Thai House Restaurant offers a comfortable and cozy atmosphere where you can enjoy a wide variety of Thai noodle, rice dishes, curries, and specials. The food is exceptional, with the Yellow Curry being particularly impressive and the Pad Thai bursting with freshness. Their Boba tea is also highly recommended for its amazing taste. The friendly waitress ensures excellent service throughout your visit.
We had a fantastic experience at Thai House! We ordered the Golden Calamari, Red Curry, and the Crispy Halibut (which was the special of the day), and everything was absolutely delicious. The Red Curry had a rich, authentic flavor, and the Halibut was perfectly crispy on the outside and juicy inside — one of the standout dishes of the night. The Golden Calamari was a great starter, light, crispy, and full of flavor. We also appreciated that their menu had a dedicated vegetarian section with lots of great options — perfect for different dietary preferences. The ambience was a solid 10/10 — cozy, clean, and welcoming. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, and the service was quick without feeling rushed. Truly one of the best Thai restaurants I’ve tried. Highly recommend for anyone looking for delicious, authentic Thai food and a great overall experience!

We had a good dining experience at Thai House in Mt. Vernon. The food was absolutely delicious, and we want to give huge compliments to the chef for the flavorful dishes. We ordered Tom kha, pad kee mao with tofu, chicken satay, basil fried rice vegetarian. Do ask for their spicy sauce if you wanna go up a notch. Everything was served quick. Everything tasted fresh, and the presentation was lovely. The portions were good for the price. Clean space to eat for sure. The waitress was polite and attentive, though we felt a bit rushed towards the end as our plates were taken before we fully finished. It’s a small detail, but it did slightly affect the overall experience. Otherwise, we really enjoyed our meal here!

We weren’t planning to come here and we had planned to eat at Rachawadee Thai. The restaurant was about to close and offered only take out. Then we decided to try the Thai house restaurant , located on a beautiful , lit street full of boutique shops. We had amazing, spicy Thai food & it was a perfect fix after visiting the tulip fields. The service was excellent and the lady who waited on our table was very kind. We both had spicy noodles with tofu and egg

This restaurant is the worse Thai restaurant I’ve ever been. We order Tom yum noodle soup and massaman curry. First of all, curry doesn’t have any spices. Second, it’s not even Tom Yum. It doesn’t look or taste like Tom Yum. I grew up in Thai and I know how Tom Yum tastes like. It’s just chicken noodle soup. Even if you guys don’t know how to make Tom Yum, you can use ready made Tom yum paste. I thought that they put the wrong order, so I asked them “are you sure that’s the right order is that Tom yum soup? for 2 time. They said yes and they’re Thai people. I’m so surprised that they’re lie about it. I will never come to this restaurant. I don’t recommend if you want authentic Thai food. Street food in Bangkok is much better than this.

This was the first time trying the restaurant, and it was delicious. The service was fast, our server was very attentive, and the prices were reasonable. We had calamari for appetizer.

I drove up to Mt. Vernon from Olympia to spend a few days with my best friend! While out and about we stopped at Big Scoop and Oh My Gosh this just blew my mind! I am a major ice cream lover and Big Scoop is just the BEST! Beats out Ben & Jerry and Haagen-Dazs in my book! I had a big scoop of butter pecan in a waffle cone that will keep me dreaming about it for weeks and encourage another trip to Mt. Vernon really soon!! They also have yummy burgers and fries! The staff was super friendly and had smiles for days! Customer Service is on the very top of their agenda! Big Thanks to Gwen, Petra, Debbie, Lyshel, Allyssa and Clara the Owner/Manager who stopped at our table and chatted with us.

Dennys is a unique place in that the food is hit or miss and that's between menu items versus who is cooking. It's 24/7 which is great however that does draw a lot of crazy characters. I have really enjoyed the employees there, and met some great people. If you want a cheap meal the value menu can't be beat... especially since at 3am nobody is open. They have wifi if I recall. There are no customer available outlets, but there's a bathroom that's always clean and available when necessary. I have gotten the value burger and fries, the value slam (basic breakfast) and I got the club sandwich with fries this last time. The value menu items are enough food for me so I shouldn't wander; however, I got the club. It was enormous. So much meat in it. I had a hard time squashing it down to fit in my mouth. I didn't finish a half and only 1/3 the fries. (Fries are always hot crispy and good) I took the other half to go but it barely fit in the container. I had to press down to get it to snap closed. Very good IMHO. Thank you to the staff for your patience and good service. BTW sometimes I go in to use the bathroom or just sit warm up and get some water and they don't complain, but they do know I'm a courteous customer. I'm sure they'd be like that to anyone if they are behaving and courteous.

Every time I try to enjoy Dennys, it always goes wrong. The waitress was very disrespectful. There were no pickles on my son's burger. My hash browns were so cold, they were inedible. I am going to stop giving this Dennys second chances. Service and food are terrible. And yes, we left a penny as a symbol of how we were treated. Do not recommend this Dennys to anyone.

The decor and furnishings could use a facelift but cleanliness was not an issue. The waitress was very nice and went above and beyond to accommodate our menu alterations despite it being 5:00am and the restaurant being understaffed. Food was wonderful with the exception of the T-bone steak which we requested be rare and medium rare… a near impossible request to fulfill because the steaks were no more than 1/3” thick. But the flavor was good.

Cheryl Hernandez at the Mount Vernon, WA is an absolutely treasure! Our tire popped and we took the exit immediately and parked in front of Dennys. We sat in the parking lot (family of 4 with two young kids) for a bit when Cheryl came out to check on us. She introduced herself and let us know we were the manager and said we were welcome to come in and warm up. My dad came to grab my husband and kiddos and I sat there enjoying a coffee until the tow truck driver came hours later. I felt welcome and cared for. Cheryl came over several times to check on me and even popped outside with me when the tow truck driver arrived. She has a great personality and true customer service attitude! Keep up the great work Cheryl! (Just a note that the other waiter worked that night was kind as well.)

It was absolutely awesome how they are set up like an old school drive up burger joint. The food was delicious. My husband got the double bacon master, he said it was perfect and almost to much. I got the chicken strips, they were juicy and perfectly seasoned. The fries were salty and crispy ate these with the boom boom and burger sauce went great together. My son got the mushroom burger and he said it was fire 🔥. Also got a couple of milkshakes, they were creamy and delicious 😋.

This was like a broke down Sonic. We ordered our food from our phone by scanning the QR code on the menu. It should just be a drive through but it did take 30 minutes for our food to come out which was kind of a long time we thought. I would recommend it for you to eat once to try it. The shakes were tasty.

First time here, and it's a drive in. You can order off a qr code or wait for a car hop. The menu isn't overly complex, which is appreciated. Easy to read and understand. We got our order taken within 5 minutes of parking. Waitress was nice, and repeated the order to ensure accuracy. We got the burger melt and a grilled cheese, with fries, a coke, and house made lemonade. Food took about 6 minutes to come out, and it was served very hot! Very appreciated! The burger was a big portion, loaded up with the free toppings, and was so delicious. Patties were properly seasoned, and the bun was super soft. My only issue was that the buns got soggy rather quickly. My wife loved the simple execution of the grilled cheese. The fries were much like McDonald's but tasted more genuine/natural. Tartar sauce was okay, it tasted rather garlicy? The house lemonade was super yummy. Tart, sweet, lemony.. Definitely not too much sugar. Total cost after tip was $38. Compared to five guys, I'd say everything is better except maybe the fries. And this is cheaper for sure, so totally would prefer burgermaster over five guys! Will be back!

I’d driven past Burgermaster for years and finally decided to stop in. The service was excellent, our server was friendly, and the food came out quickly. The toppings were fresh, and the milkshake was delicious, made with real strawberries. Unfortunately, the burger itself was underwhelming. It lacked seasoning and had almost no browning, which left it tasting flat despite the fresh toppings. The milkshake, while tasty, came with a straw that collapsed and split almost immediately, making it difficult to enjoy. I truly wish I could give this place a higher rating. The staff is great, the atmosphere is inviting, and it has so much potential. A few simple changes: season the burgers generously with salt, ensure a proper sear for flavor and texture, and provide sturdy milkshake straws. These tweaks could take Burgermaster from just another average burger spot to something truly special.

The food was terrible . The burger was flat dry and flavorless. Also if you care about yourself , don’t get the crab melt. It was terrible. I almost threw up when I took the first bite , the smell of the sandwich was unbearable, and the taste was salty and bitter and just terrible ugh. Thankfully I got a refund for the crab melt . The fries were good tho and the milkshake was one of the best I’ve ever had!
Tehzeeb A — Google review
The only reason the food is rated 4 is because the fries were a little oily and undercooked so many were not crispy and the flavor was not as developed as it could have been. We did scarf them down so there were still great, just not 5/5. The burgers were cooked well and delicious. They do have vegetarian options too. We got a Baconmaster and Mini Baconmaster but they didn't come with bacon and the Baconmaster had raw onion instead of grilled. They were great with the other custom things, even with the gluten free bun. Also, they amended everything; I ate mine because I didn't mind but my partner went back and they gave him 6 pieces of bacon. My partner said that they were very kind about it!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Moreno’s Family Mexican Restaurant is a must-visit. Come for the food, stay for the heart. And if you’re lucky, meet Larry — the soul behind the flavor. 🌟 A Flavor Explosion & Heartfelt Hospitality at Moreno’s! 🌟 I just had my first visit to Moreno’s Family Mexican Restaurant, and it was nothing short of phenomenal. I ordered the steak quesadilla, and WOW — it was next-level delicious. The steak was incredibly tender, packed with bold, mouthwatering flavor, and cooked to perfection. Honestly, it was the best steak quesadilla I’ve ever had — and I’ve had plenty. The texture, the seasoning, the balance — everything was spot on. The chips and guacamole were also fantastic — fresh, crisp, and full of flavor. But what truly made this experience unforgettable was the genuine hospitality. As I was leaving, a kind man asked how my day was. We started chatting, and he was so authentic and caring, genuinely interested in how I felt about the food and my experience. Turns out, his name is Larry, and he’s the chef behind the magic. I told him how impressed I was with the quesadilla, and he shared that they use ribeye steak, carefully portioned by weight to ensure every guest gets the same high-quality experience. No guesswork, no uneven servings — just consistency and excellence in every dish. Larry’s passion for food and people was inspiring. It reminded me that a truly great restaurant isn’t just about the food — it’s about the people who care, who take pride in what they serve, and who make you feel valued. This wasn’t just a meal — it was an experience. And it’s the reason I’ll absolutely be coming back.

Birthday dinner gone sour! I don’t usually post reviews, but felt like I had to. Celebrated a late birthday dinner, don’t think we’ll be going back here. Overpriced margaritas, prices are not on the menu and owner said on another review the reviewer and server could have had “better communication” I think better communication is putting prices on your menu and maybe training your staff better to not blindside people. Take some accountability. Prices have gone up everywhere, but looking at competition in the valley you can get way more bang for you buck anywhere else. The chimichanga and enchiladas were so tiny and there’s not anything special about the taste when looking at competition. I’m okay paying high prices if the value is there, but it wasn’t; duct tape holding things together, bug in my drink, and for being a family run business in the valley it sure seems they are just out to make a quick buck. My advice don’t waste your time or money go to COA or downtown MV. Their only saving grace is our server was pretty nice! I hope they make some changes because this could be a pretty cool spot.

The waitress was fine. Food was good. Expect to pay $20 per person. I deducted a star for the bad taste left in my mouth for the ‘no cash adjustment’ charge of close to $5. In this day and age of insta-pay/Apple Pay/credit cards, to be charged for it out of the blue really bothered my sensibilities.

We stopped in for breakfast because we needed something substantial but didn't want a greasy spoon. This place did not disappoint. We got the crepes and the Santa Fe scramble. Both were excellent. I am a bit of a salsa connaisseur, and their homemade salsa was amazing. The coffee was smooth and didn't require much sugar. Overall it was a yummy meal.

I love this lil diner. It's quiet, staff is great at reading their customers and giving you exactly the amount of service you want. Food is great. Atmosphere is that is a small family dinner that knows their regulars by name. They also have a drive thru!

Ordered the Eggs with chorizo and had onions added. The onions weren't even fully cooked and cut into large chunks where the layers didn't even separate, chorizo didnt even taste like chorizo. The gluten-free toast which wasn't fully toasted and had no butter and it was the bread heel. I also ordered a side of hash browns and that was completely absent! Also ordered the a drink called Roy Rogers which wasn't even made correctly so no surprise there. Family wanted me to try the place out to see if it's a great place to take the grandparents for lunch but that's not happening now. Must have been an off day for whoever was working the kitchen or something but I'm definitely not impressed. Poorly made food, missing food, and poorly made drink. Do better.

Family owned business, nice people. I was able to relax and plug in my laptop with nobody rushing me out the door. Older crowd. The food was great and portions were generous. I loved how they mixed in plenty of vegetables in their breakfast hash. Tasty mimosas! It's not a luxury place but it's low key and home-like. Not bad for what you pay for, considering the current economy in the region. I'll be back.

Overall, it was a very good experience. This area of town, near the hospital and professional buildings, brings in people like me, a retirement age. The building is a very old fast food. Perhaps Taco Bell type arrangement. The fixtures inside remind me of a older Mexican food restaurant, being thick, wood booths, etc. The wall is lined with pictures of senior citizens that I assumed they’re on a regular basis. Don’t go there for the atmosphere. The food was average. I had a scramble plate that was way overdone and my wife had a traditional Benedict. The eggs for the Benedict were cooked perfectly but there was a lot of hollandaise sauce and it was a little on the sweet side. Then there was the Service. There’s one waitress she was fantastic. She was friendly to absolutely everybody coming in the door sitting at the table. She was apologetic if things took more than a couple of minutes to serve you drinks and food. He was en suite and that alone would bring me back to this restaurant.

The food was very average. The seafood platter was greasy, the fried clams were extremely overcooked & dry. My omelet was good but had zero flavor. It was definitely not a place I will return to eat.

Have driven by this place for a long time and can't believe we chose Mother's Day for our first visit but so glad we did. We actually found a booth and discovered thei have a more extensive menu than we expected. We'd simply done a search for "pancakes near me" and came up with the usual players as knew they'd have long waits. As neither my aunt nor I had been here, we decided to check it out. Everything is made fresh so don't expect super fast service but it wasn't overly long, either. The wait staff were all really nice, the food had huge portions, reasonable prices, and very tasty. The only complaint was the super dry, hard bacon - pass! Not enough to dock a full star, IMHO. #7 & 16: Pancakes w/low-cal Aunt Jemima syrup and butter, hash browns, and chorizo scramble were all winners. Can't wait to try other menu items in the future.

Adorable fish market and more. They serve lunch from 10:30-4:30pm Mon-Sat and from 11-3pm on Sun. Highly recommend the Dungeness Crab Sandwich on a toasted buttered roll filled with crab meat tossed in a light mayo and lemon juice dressing. Served with lettuce, tomato, and a side of potato salad. Delicious! Lots of other yummy items on the menu as well. Browse the many other items in the store including local chocolates, jams, honey, marinades, hot sauces, soup mixes, and smoked fresh, frozen, and canned fish. Very helpful staff will pack your items with ice to keep them cold on the road. Conveniently located off I-5, a stop at this local family-owned fish market is worth it.

This is a mandatory stop every time we need to be on the mainland! Fish sandwich for lunch, always so fresh and delicious… and then we take home octopus ceviche, some ahi poke, and whatever the wonderful staff tells us is tasty today! Everything is fresh, the store is spotless and absolutely everything on the lunch menu is amazingly good!

Ever had a place with food so good you tear up a little bit? That's this place for me. It was an expensive treat for myself but it was the best salmon sandwhich I have EVER had, making it worth the price. The workers were super nice. Everything looked super yummy. I will be back for another. Highly recommend. Go treat yourself to some good seafood here.

Arby's is a beloved fast-food chain that has carved out a niche for itself with its signature roast beef sandwiches, alongside an array of hot and cold sandwich options, crispy fries, and delightful shakes. Since opening its doors in Boardman, Ohio in 1964, Arby’s has been dedicated to what they call "Meatcraft," which reflects their commitment to transforming quality cuts of meat into mouthwatering handcrafted sandwiches. This dedication influences every aspect of their menu and service.
I have been sick for the last 2weeks and haven’t been able to eat much, but I was craving some Arby’s , so I asked my mom to pick me up some since I haven’t been able to eat much I have to bend to little cravings I have or my body won’t accept the food. She was going to pick up the food in drive thru, she got the drink and took off ( it’s been a long day for her) and she forgot the actual food. She’s about home and was like I forgot to grab the food in a text. I call them and explained the situation to them they offered to remake the sandwich (which I declined but appreciated), they remade the curly fries and were nice to her. I appreciate that a lot. I’ve worked fast food when I was in my teens for 2 years, and have seen some of the customer service from other places, I just want to say I appreciate the kindness and that they really did help. They didn’t give attitude and were actually helpful. I appreciate the team!

Our 3rd bad experience in a row dining in. The restaurant is clean besides the Arby's sauce/ketchup containers. The ketchup was more red water than ketchup and they didn't care at all when told them about the problem. So no ketchup on that visit. Also the restrooms are absolutely horrible smelling everytime we've visited. Just got the new pulled pork sandwich and the 1 tablespoon of meat was 100% refrigerator cold. My wife's sandwich had the top bun broken in half, and the bottom bun was twice as thick as usual. All this after yet again about a 20min wait to get our food with nobody in the drive through and only 1 other party of 3 waiting and pissed to get their food to go. The mgr/drive-through order person was sitting out in dinning area for the second visit in a row being extremely loud. This time, 5 other people who seemed to be off-duty employees were with her coming in to get what looked to be free food. The door to the kitchen opened and SLAMMED SHUT over 30 times easily, for our 30 minutes dinner visit. That also happens every visit because the door is obviously broken and nobody cares enough to fix it, or at least pull it closed gently. This place needs an undercover boss!

UPDATE..carry out July 22, 2025 Ordered a BLT. Stale and hard bread. Potatoe cakes tasted like it was cooked in OLD grease/oil. I would call that no longer trustworthy to eat there. If you want $30+ plus dollars for something to eat at least make it worth a dollar okay. I had not been back to Arbys in over ten years. And last month I gave it a near perfect score.... We won't be going back. Dined in on June 23, 2025 @ 4pm The food is absolutely great, was hot, fresh and well made. The presentation of our sandwiches were super well made! The store was super clean! The young lady at the counter was super nice and very knowledgeable. And very clean and presentable! The manager was super nice! I don't know anyone there anymore, but I plan on getting to know them and will be visiting often! All of the "other" fast food places have totally turned us off with poor food quality, and bad presentation of food.

I don't generally leave negative reviews, but burgers falling out of packages, overcooked and greasy fries, staff getting berated by a shift manager who was completely unprofessional, and a dining room with week old food under tables while the staff all sat around complaining and doing nothing (while alarms were going off in the kitchen for 5+ minutes) is too much for me not to share feedback. I love Arby's, but this place is awful. Best of luck, but we won't be back.

Food is sub-par, not hot, does not look or taste like roast beef. Floors are sticky, condiments were empty. Bathroom were dirty with no paper towels.

Great service. Simple decor with a quiet atmosphere. I had the shrimp spring rolls (5 stars), the pork banh mi (5 stars), and the House Special Combo Pho (4 stars). The pho broth was a little oily for my taste and could have been hotter in temp; steaming hot rather than being closer to lukewarm.

If you are looking for authentic Vietnamese food look no further. My boyfriend and I found this place since on google, he was craving some Pho and I saw that they had Pork/grilled shrimp vermicelli.

Also the bubble tea with rainbow jelly never fails.

This was seriously the best Pho I’ve had in the area. It’s so delicious that you can tell that they genuinely care about the food they serve. I got the brisket pho and the brisket was delicious & quality, but my favorite was the flavor of the broth! I’m not much of a noodle person so if you love noodles, be sure to order extra!

Salad dressing tasted like just mayonnaise with little to no seasoning. Very disappointing. I opened my box to my pork teriyaki and was met with a foul colored and smelling meat…took one bite and one bite of the old smelling rice and had to spit it out. I could not even eat one bite. I am a huge fan of teriyaki and this is NOT that. I’m really surprised by all the good reviews because this tasted so bad I had to leave a review to warn people! Complete waste of 16$.

It was solid! Service was nice, food was out quick ( we got two entrees, it we left roughly 10 minutes after we ordered), and it was pretty tasty! I got the shrimp and pork combo meal, and it was a lot of food for how much I paid. The only gripe I've got is that the shrimp was a little bland and a little overcooked. Other than that, the rest of the meal was very yummy! Would definitely recommend!

It's never been the best location but what teriyaki place has a good location lol I used to love eating here before work with my buddy when I was 19 (now 27) it quickly became our favorite teriyaki place mainly because they had really good teriyaki sauce. So good In fact I would use it on my salad too lol. But I went there recently and the food was awful. Chicken was tough and chewy and the teriyaki sauce was more like teriyaki jello and left a bad aftertaste in my mouth. I had just talked this place up to my grandmother and invited her to come with me. I regret that decision, she wouldn't eat any of it after the first few bites. I hope this place can eventually go back to having the great taste it used to. Until then Imma have to go to another place.

I was disappointed. Food is not up to the correct recipes for Asian cooking. No flavor but sriracha sauce over everything. Crab ragoon wrapped in something like pasta dough then deep fried, just weird. Rice dried out. Frozen dinner tastes better. And cheaper. Must say though salad was ok. It's not worth your money. I should have got a pizza or burgers. Dang it. I'm just so disappointed.

DO NOT EAT HERE RAW CHICKEN!!! This was my go to spot in Mt. Vernon/Burlington. Was served the chicken in these photos today. Charred on the outside but pink in the middle. Thankfully I think I only ate a few pieces before noticing. Not all of it was like this. How would they not notice this when cooking, cutting, and serving the food? Do they not temp check the meat? Will update if I get sick. I’ll be lucky not to. In the meantime I would avoid eating here at all costs.

I have been here a few times but rarely go since I don't live close. Last night, we decided to give it a try again. We spend almost $60 for just the 2 of us, so I don't think we will be returning anytime soon. We spend like another $20 at other places and are able to get my kids something as well. My bf ordered Mongolian beef and thought it was going to look like it does in the picture they have (lots of onion and chili pepper). Unfortunately, it didn't look like he had hoped. It was missing more pepper. The soy sauce given with the meal was not very good either (seemed watered down). I ordered chicken terriyaki and a side of egg rolls. My chicken tasted a little flavorless, so I didn't even finish my meal, and it actually tasted a little better reheated in the microwave the next day unless it was just my hunger. The egg rolls were good except for 1 of them was really greasy that I couldn't even finish it. The salad dressing was very bland that I couldn't even enjoy the salad, which is usually my favorite part.

Had Gen Tos, and Mongolian beef. It was the most salty trash I've ever had. Gen tos tasted like burnt Teriyaki sauce w/too much salt. Mongolian beef tasted like the base was the Teriyaki sacue , and the after taste was Salty as hell. If the cook took as much care as the cashier did, the food would no have sucked as bad. I personally think the cashier should do the cooking, because she cares about her job. She would make sure that it is right. To the cook my stomach hurts after 2 bites of each dish. U can't cook.

They walked past our ready order for about 15 minutes before finally handing it to us. We watched at least 10 people in the drive through get theirs before we finally got handed our order. Mine was 90% sauces 10% burger and was barely edible due to the sauces overflowing.

seriously worst fast food experience i’ve ever had in total we waited a whole hour and a half for our food which is insane to think we finally got to the window to pay and got sent to the parking lot we waited another 30 minutes before deciding we were gonna go in and ask for our food and finally we got what we thought was our food we checked the bags and saw that it wasn’t our order we told them and what i believe was the manager started yelling at one of the employees for getting it wrong then the manager started walking around saying “omg omg omg omg omg” repeatedly while placing her hand on her head i wish i was joking, again we waited for our food finally this guy gave us our food shoutout to him cus he seems the only one running the place and doing his job right. overall if your gonna come here just don’t go through the drive thru unless you wanna get stuck and wait an hour for some mid burgers.

This review is for Burger King in Mount Vernon, WA. We went through the drive up window and had a coupon for 2 original chicken sandwiches and 2 medium fries for $7.99. We also purchased 8 mozarella sticks and requested a couple of sauces. We were on our way to a event and had to meet with some friends to sign them in. Unfortunately I was trusting and didn't check the bag of food until we arrived. Only received ONE sandwich and no sauces or napkins. I called 5 times and got hung up on. On the 6th call the manager answered and couldn't understand why I was upset. We were hungry and there was only one sandwich and couldn't go back and get it. I figured the gal that gave us the food ate it . She acted like she really didn't want to give it to us and asked us if we had paid. The guy we paid was standing right next to her. I went back the next day and demanded a full refund which the manager did do. It didn't help us the night before because we were both really hungry and there was no food where we went. I think the manager should get better employees and train them. I think she was lazy and not very smart. Also thought she could get away with stealing our sandwich. If go there you might want to take inventory before pulling away.

The whoppers were great, but waited at least 25-30 minutes in the drive thru. Took them quite awhile to finally ask me to order, and almost as long to receive it. Several of the employees, including the manager, appeared overwhelmed and tired. (A major factor of this is because some areas of Mt Vernon and Burlington are rapidly becoming repressed and some businesses are either closing, or are already bankrupt.) A few of them seemed to be doing each each other's position instead of holding to the tried-and-true chain of command; ie, sticking to your own job and not doing someone else's. I'm certain that the employees and manager are well meaning and kind though. They just need to firmly establish and stick to their respective job positions.

If I could give A0I would. I am not exaggerating, we actually timed it. We sat in the drive through for thirty two minutes. My husband refused to let me get mad at a big drive through person. Because that would be the only person I could yell at, but wait pulled up, so I kept my mouth shut. I tried to call them while I was in my car. No one answered. When they finally brought us our food, it was cold. And no I am not kidding. It was cold. My husband wouldn't take me back there because you didn't trust me, lol, I really wouldn't do anything but I yell out. It was so ridiculous, I ..I ... I literally cannot believe it. Yes I stuttered when I said "I". So frustrating, oh, and to boot, it was $42 I ate a couple bites of the sandwich and had to throw it away because it was disgusting and I ate half the fries before they were too cold to eat. (on the way home) not a happy Burger King camper :((

The only real complaint I have is the ice cream/milk shake machine is always been cleaned or turned off, sometimes by 8pm. The last time I went it was still on even though it was just after 9pm but the milk shakes were more like thick chocolate milk and ther is only 1 size of shake but they gave me two different sized shake and when I said I paid for 2 large and 1 is obviously not a large they told me we don't sell large there only 1 size, I so I said ok. But those aren't the same size? So why are you Arguing with me over this? They did make it the larger size but that one was even warmer then the first one. This was just the last time I was there and never had any other issue like that before.

Not mad just disappointed, I went to Burger King to celebrate a very big event with close family as soon as I walked in I was stoked cause the whole reason I went was for the "How to Train Your Dragon" meal (Cashier with the face tattoos was a very nice man give that boy a raise!) Anyways as I was saying I asked for the meal hoping the burger bun would be a different color and even get a dragon hat, until I was HEARTBROKEN by the news of "We dont have the hats anymore." I dropped to my knees when I heard the news. But I kept my head up high as I wouldn't let that ruin my meal I unwrap my whopper with excitement as I unravel the wrapper mouth watering about the thought of red 40 I turn to my brother and say " A REGULAR BURGER!?!" He laughs at my face not knowing I was holding back tears... I would never go back to that burger king.

Not sure why this location is always SO slow. Do not go in the drive through. You will get stuck. We went to the drive through recently after not visiting for a long time and we're immediately reminded of the slow service. We were stuck in the drive through for 20 minutes and hadn't even made it to the order speaker yet. Finally people behind us reversed out so we reversed out. We went inside because we had a mobile order anyway and we waiting 10 minutes inside. Others inside were also angry due to the long wait.

Anna Marie's Bakery is one of our favorites! My husband brought me a pastry from her shop when we first started dating so it was only fitting she make our wedding cake. Beautiful, simple, and scrumptious is what we asked for and she delivered (literally! she delivered the cake to our venue! and decorated it!) Time and time again, Anna Marie's pastries are wonderful, and our wedding cake was just lovely. Full of flavor, this allergy-friendly cake was moist and delicious. I think my husband and I ate the rest of the layer in less then a week! We love Anna Marie's and stop by every time we go up north. Definitely recommend!

Superb experience. What an amazing gem I found. I Was at the tire shop next door. I walked over because I got hungry. I walked in and it was sooooo warm and inviting. It has this really awesome family room vibe. Super family friendly, they even have family board games. This is a must try. Quiet, clean, spacious, and delicious. I tried a ham and cheese croissant. It was delicious.

Absolutely DELICIOUS! Keep her in business!!! Worth every penny! I ordered 2 dozen cupcakes for our doctor’s Birthday. I asked that they appear classy & “not like they came from a grocery store with airbrushing.” THEY WERE PERFECT to look at and so incredibly delicious. The frosting was so good. I bake & I have no idea what she uses in the frosting to make it so good! The cake was tasty, moist and spongey. I wanted to eat them all. Everyone enjoyed them. Especially our doctor who has a refined palate. I will order again from here for the next event.

I ordered a cake and cookies for my daughters Birthday, first the lady calls me the day before the party and says she can not do the custom cookies, I was nice about it and she gave me a refund but that’s very unprofessional as I gave her a month in advance to make. Then we get the cake the day of the party and the details and colors of the cake was not what I asked for. All of my guest complained about how dry and densest the cake was. I went back and asked for a refund because what I paid for was not worth 200.00. I will never eat or order anything from here.

First off of you're coming here expect a little bit of a wait, they have great food and people know it. Table seating is limited, but it's a nice little dining area.

We were here from out of town so dining in at the small counter was our best option and it worked out fine. Counter service was friendly and helpful. We ordered an XL Sahara, an XL half-Northwest Territory half-Tiki Tiki with BBQ Chicken, and a personal size Hawaiian Passion. The Tiki Tiki and Sahara were stand out favorites but all were good!

We ordered 20 or so pizzas that all came accurately and on time! They have so many great options to accommodate for dairy free, gluten free, and vegetarians individuals--as well as fun unique topping options for all pizzas. I didn't branch out too much, stuck with pepperoni, 4 Cheese Decadence, Hawaiian Passion, Herbivore, and BBQ Chicken. All were a hit! Even their dairy free cheese is good! I really appreciate how easy the ordering process as well as smooth delivery. Thank you for going the extra mile.

Martini Brunch is a trendy spot in Mount Vernon, perfect for adults looking to enjoy a fabulous food and cocktail adventure. The honeycomb toast is a must-try, featuring thick-cut grilled toast topped with honey butter and flaky salt. Visitors recommend arriving early to avoid the crowds and enjoying the attentive service from cheerful staff. The crab mac and crab eggs benedict are also highly praised dishes on the menu.
Such a cute and amazing little restaurant to stop by! We were excited to try this place seeing it online and it did not disappoint! Place was packed but we were lucky to grab a seat right when we walked in, our server Brandon was very informative on the menu and recommended some delicious plates! Today they had the egg drop soup and was blown away by the flavors in a tiny cup! We are from Alaska so we don’t get a lot of artisanal food like this and it was well worth the month long wait! We are here for a few days and will definitely swing back on they for one last amazing brunch! If you’re in Mount Vernon Washington highly recommend having a Lunch here or even breakfast! Speedy and the most delicious Eggs Benedict around! So much to say how great the food is you’ll have to just swing on thru and try it for yourself! Thanks Brandon for a lovely meal and great recommendations!!! See you again soon! As well the radio station this morning was very delightful!

Martini Brunch has come a long way since it first opened, and it’s now one of my regular spots for dates and gathering with friends. As someone with a culinary background, I’d rate the food as a solid high medium—delicious, but not gourmet, which I don’t think they’re aiming for exactly. The atmosphere is unique, and even the plates and utensils add to the fun vibe. I’ve seen complaints about inattentive service, and I’ve experienced it myself. I don’t believe it’s intentional; rather, it feels like the staff just get busy and in their own heads. If you need something, they’re typically responsive if you kindly approach the counter. Yes, there’s a small-town, familiar vibe here, and that comes with some “Skagit Valley” quirks. People may joke around and feel more open with familiar faces, which can read as cliquey. Running a restaurant is no small feat, and not everyone in the industry is a customer service pro. Overall, they’re doing well with what they’re working toward. If you’re willing to enjoy yourself, confidently speak up if you need something, and not take things too personally, this is a great spot to relax + have a good meal!

I love this place. They make great drinks. The food is consistently tasty. The service is lovely and the staff is clearly empowered to not put up with any Karenish behaviors (although I'm sure they'd handle it with grace). They're kid-free, which is a blessing for many of us, and a safe space for LGBTQIA+folks (thank you)! My faves are the roasted cauliflower app, the Eggs Benedict (with Prosciutto is magical), the Honeycomb toast, and every drink I've had there (my first cocktail there had Barbie shoes on it and I was immediately nostalgic). Be prepared because the menu changes regularly. They also close for one month (mid-August through m8d-September) every year (so don't worry, they'll be open again soon). Is it perfect? Nope. Very few places are. But what a fun place to spend a weekend morning. Highly recommend.

Fan-double-tastic! Went as a family group of 6 and was delighted by the entire experience! Expect a wait (well worth it) since they don’t take reservations. If it’s nice weather, there’s some shaded tables if you don’t want to walk around the area. The staff are authentically friendly, helpful & stoked to be there. I love that it’s 21+, it’s got a fun vibe, eclectic retro mis-matched plates, mugs, glasses add to the fun vibe. The food is executed with much thought, care and seasoning is spot on! There are unusual pairings that work incredibly well! The cocktails are so fun and all the same price. It’s a welcoming spot and my new favorite place!!! Can’t wait to go back!!!

Everything about this place was great. The food was excellent, service was fast and friendly. Definitely one of the spendier options in MV but I'd say they back it up. We ordered the avocado eggs Benedict and the calabrese stallion. Every component was perfectly executed! The restaurant itself is cute, and it was packed pretty much the whole time we were there on a Sunday 10:30-noon. We did have about a 30 minute wait but we just walked around until they texted us. They have an extensive list of breakfast cocktails, too! All in all, a great addition to MV restaurant scene!

Ordered a BYOB (build your own burger) medium done. At first the buns came pretty charred, so I asked for a new warmed one. They were good with replacing it. Price is reasonable.

This place was amazing. Haven't eaten here since it became an Irish pub, but I think they have really good Irish food here. We got corned beef and cabbage, Guinness beef stew and bangers & mash. All of it was really good, but I particularly love how they made the mash potatoes. The food here doesn't disappoint. I also really love the atmosphere and the decor in the place... Really well done! For some constructive criticism, I felt like there needs to be another bartender on hand.

So my S.O. called this place as we were walking into the restaurant before we even ate there. Suggesting that it was on the level of an Outback. You'll be able to tell from the photos that our foot sat under the warmers for far to long. The steaks were poorly seasoned and because it sat for too long the doneness was overcooked. The brussel sprouts had no flavor and the sauce was just pool of oil at the bottom of the bowl. Similar for the waffle fries, all the blue cheese was at the bottom of the bowl. Service was sporadic and had many forgotten items that were requested more than once. If you're in the area and are looking for a steak house, skip this one.

05/03/2025: The two of us arrived around 5p on a Saturday. It was pretty quiet and only a small number of people in the dining room. Nice because it was so quiet. We ordered calamari, Ribeye and pork chop for dinner and a couple of cocktails. Cocktails were okay, tasty enough. Can't complain about the food overall, everything really good. Calamari was lightly battered and fried. Ribeye was a really decent size and cooked exactly how it was ordered (medium rare). Pork chop was a bit overdone however still a good dish. Service was friendly and attentive. Building is reminiscent of Stuart Anderson's Black Angus. Think tall ceilings, lots of wood, high backed booths. Very nice.

This is going to be long because I want to give you a good idea of what you're walking into before you overpay for something you can get somewhere else for the same price or less. The reality of this place is that it serves overpriced, mid tier steak, to old people who seem to enjoy a quiet, dimly lit, dining experience. My introduction to Max Dale's was the smell of cigarettes immediately as I walked in. It wasn't the best start but I came for the steak not the smell. As I waited for my order, I watched a couple in their 70s across from me who were just getting their food. The husband ordered the Prime Rib but was really struggling to get through it. He was becoming upset. The extremely old, dull, steak knives they supply you with were not doing him any favors. It got so bad he requested a new steak! He got his new Prime Rib and although he admitted to the server that it was more tender than the previous one, he was still unhappy with its quality. He blamed the cut of the meat and the supplier. Luckily, I was not ordering the Prime Rib...or so I thought. I was ordering the Filet Mignon, the most expensive steak on the menu. When my steak arrived, it looked great, no complaints about the presentation. It was also cooked the way that I requested. When I started cutting into it though, it was a bit less tender than I'd come to expect from a Filet. But my biggest issue was the taste, it didn't have flavor, the best way I can describe the taste is that it tasted like beef. Which I don't think is acceptable for a $50 steak. I will say that the sides that I had were good. No complaints about the salad, mashed potatoes, and veggies. This was my first time at Max Dale's since I wanted some local steak without having to drive 20-30 minutes. I probably won't be going back so I can't speak on the other entrees.

I love the space. Food can be hit or miss. I had spare ribs this time. I was a little sad about the steak the last two times. I do enjoy the sides. Broccoli 🥦 was great... not why I went there.

Food was bland. Overpriced for quality and portions. Cocktails meh. Dessert again nothing memorable. Service was great. They have a good staff. I just wish chefs would put their own touch on dishes served. Ordered the prime rib and chicken marsala . Both lacking any perceptible flavor and uniqueness. The sides that accompany them were sad too. I counted 3 small asparagus spears on my plate and a sad small helping of mashed potatoes. I have a greater expectation for a meal that exceeds $100.00.

My family has been coming here since they started back in 70's. Our family has now been coming to this restaurant for 5 generations for business lunches and dinners, to celebrate life events, and date nights. Paul and Danny are like family friends to us. Their hospitality is unmatched. When we make reservations or walk-ins, Paul and Danny make time to come to our table no matter the occasion is always special. This place will and always be a family favorite for more generations to come within our family. Cant say anything bad about the staff and how this place creates a following. Cheers to Max Dales and what this place does for the Skagit Valley.

Poirier's on the River is a delightful dining destination that offers a unique twist on New American cuisine in a cozy, family-friendly tavern setting. With its inviting cherry-wood bar and warm ambiance, it’s perfect for both casual meals and special occasions. The menu features an array of dishes, including standout options like alligator bites, seafood pasta, and Cajun specialties such as crawfish etouffee. Diners rave about the generous portion sizes—many leave with leftovers!
Really a very space with good food and a very attentive staff. It's a little crazy getting to the place in your car and parking was a little tricky but we plan on going back whenever we are in the area. There is this pretty cool niche space with a fireplace that looks like a great spot to just chill, have a beverage and casual conversation. The evening we were there they had live music which consumed the spot I'm talking about but it was also a good use of the space Unisex restrooms are the only option and I found them to be very clean and well appointed. One final good note is they actually had Woodford Reserve Double Oak Bourbon when I asked for my favorite drink....an Old Fashion. I have to admit it was not the best OF I've had and almost off enough that I almost sent it back but heck. Waste not want not, right!

Very cool restaurant! Amazing Cajun food! Nice service, cool building. The Shrimp dip and Hush Puppies were my favorite! The Catfish, Fish and Chips, Alligator bites, Crawfish Etouffee and the Seafood Pasta were all very good! The only thing we weren't a big fan of was the seafood Gumbo, it was very watery/thin. We will definitely take the drive and go back!

The waitresses were really friendly and were attentive. The service was super slow but the Cajun shrimp dip was so good! Jambalaya was missing a lot of flavor in my opinion.

Higher end dining, price wise. The atmosphere is wonderful. Service was a bit slow. We had the alligator bites for an appetizer, my husband tried the special that was a chicken and mushroom dish. He said it was delicious. I had a seafood pasta dish that was wonderful as well. The pasta are huge, I ended up with most of it as take away. They do HSBC an outside courtyard with access is from outside only. They do have some gluten free options as well. Parking is on a one way street.

If you're in the Mount Vernon area and have a craving for an all-you-can-eat experience, look no further than Royal Star Buffet. This delightful eatery boasts an extensive menu featuring over 150 items, including beloved Chinese-American classics, a Mongolian grill station, and even sushi! Guests rave about the freshness of the food and the variety available. Whether you’re a fan of seafood or vegetarian dishes, there’s something for everyone here.
This place is amazing for the following. 1. great value for what you can get nowadays. 2. flavourful food comparable to many Chinese restaurants. 3. many options like seafood, meat and vegetables and dessert! while it is true that the ambience is not similar to a romantic dinning restaurant, those comments saying that the place is super dirty without any evidence are not fair. A true review should be objective with backup evidence.

This day I was in the mood for a buffet. Not to gorge on but for the variety of foods. There were all the standard dishes that you usually find at a Asian buffet. Worthy of mention are the BBQ pork ribs. Also the spicy chicken and egg foo young . Everything was delicious. Service was top notch as well. The place was clean and well organized. Price was about $20.00 included tip. If you are craving All you can eat Asian buffet I do recommend this one.

Great place for price, variety, and friendly service. Quite a few options of turf and surf. They even have a personal grilling chef. The price is reasonable, and nowadays it is quite hard to find buffets of this type.

Quite impressed with the variety of choices this buffet has! You can find everything including seafood, meat, veggies, fruits, desserts, sushi, soup, salads. They even had a stirfry bar where you select your ingredients and a chef stir fried it right in front of you. The price is very affordable as well (only $10.99 for lunch and $18.99 for dinner, or $6.99 for a box of takeout). The service was also very good, each section of tables had a waiter who is very attentive in clearing your used dishes and refilling your drinks. Left feeling very full, only wish I had a larger stomach so I could've tried more dishes.

Very kind service, and attentive too (only one other party dining in so good service was expected). Nice and hot tea and our drinks were consistently topped up. The egg rolls are vegetarian and the red sauce that came with it was great! The pork wonton soup was spectacular. The orange chicken was rather bland; it could have used more sauce and more orange flavor. The chicken itself was lightly battered and crispy, which was good. The vegetables fried rice had a great amount of greens and eggs.. Super yummy!

So, my wife ordered house special ho fun, almond chicken, one cup of steamed rice, and extra almond chicken gravy. For delivery, to surprise me after work with my favorite chicken dish after work. The amount of "extra" sauce was less than what is normally given for an order if you sit down with no extra asked for. The kick in the pants, was she tipped 10 bucks on top of their price. Joke is on this company, I am going to dispute the charges with the bank. Incomplete order, no pay no tip.

Went here on a lark...and craving some Mexican food. The outside was well maintained and beautifully painted...looked inviting! Same care on the inside, a real treat with all the painted chairs, etc. We were warmly greeted by our waitress, who helped make this visit. The chips were warm, crispy and not oily. The salsa was outstanding with a myriad of flavors. Our meals were not only wonderfully delicious, we had plenty for a second meal at home. Kudos to the chef. This is a place we will go to again...as they have an expansive menu. Made many points with the wife.

We were highly encouraged by the positive feedback and decided to order through DoorDash for a cozy night in. We requested flautas, nachos, and a chile relleno. However, what we received was flavorless, greasy, and lacking any kind of presentation. Although we enjoy indulging in a steamy plate of cheesy goodness, considering the price paid, it would have been nice to see some vegetables or garnish included.
Another good find for us displaced Texans searching for good Tex-Mex food. This is not Tex-Mex, but it’s a really good facsimile there of. It is hard not to have the cheese enchiladas with their bread sauce. I’m going to try to convince them to make a chili con carne sometime, but not until I get to know them better. Other items on the menu are very good as well. The service is great , some of them are from the family that runs the restaurant. I would not try to put the food into some region of Mexico. I’m sure it is from family recipes and formulated for the current market where it is located. There is nothing spicy about any of this food hint hint ask for jalapeños or bring your own habanero powder. Chips and salsa are pretty good. Mr. Martinez, the real brains behind Mariano‘s restaurants, always taught me to try enchiladas beans and rice. If this is no good, leave the restaurant. I stand by that and standby this restaurant being really good. I hope my neighbors on Whidbey Island see this posting as many of them are from Texas and I’m sure I have a hankering for good Mexican food. Give it a try.

This was a great find heading from the island back to the Seattle area. I've passed by so many times and can now say it is worth the stop! The chips are made in house with house made tortillas and you can tell, they are so good. The salsa has great chili flavor and the seasoning on the steak fajitas was other worldly. The special was fantastic, and so well priced. Service was fast and our server was Michelle was wonderful, we will definitely be back for more of that steak and friendly staff!!

I went here for the first time yesterday with my husband and toddler son. We are not local (we live on the Kitsap Peninsula) but we enjoyed our visit here. They are very kid friendly and had affordable kids options. We weren’t given a kids menu but were happy to find out that there was one to order off of for our son. I had the shrimp diablo and my husband ate the dish that had lots of crab. Mine was great and spicy and my husband seemed to like his too. I think the food is reasonably affordable for WA state and had big portions. They offer free chips and good salsa too. It’s not a “fancy” Mexican restaurant but I think that’s for the best! Casual family style Mexican restaurants tend to have better food in my experience.

Okay I took my man for his first time to IHop because he wanted some good old fashioned pancakes . Good thing he ordered something other than just pancakes because when he started to eat his cakes they split apart completely. We know that happens when the batter isn’t made right or it’s old batter. Whether it was this or that we were surly disappointed in the cakes at the International House of Pancakes. There’s other things I could complain on but the cakes is the main thing why I’m posting this review …

Very busy today. Line to be seated about 10 minutes. 10 am on a Friday. Got seated, server kept walking past us, 3 times more carrying dishes for the kitchen, receipts for customers, credit card machine. I put my menu on the table, server says in passing I'll be right with you. Server then checks out other persons, clears dishes from a table, finally comes to us, can I start you with something to drink, I tell server we also know what we want to order. This way we didn't have to wait longer to place our order later. Half of our meal came out, waiting on pancakes. Pancakes were overcooked, brown and separated when cut. Not very enjoyable!

This was the worst experience at an IHOP. I have been a server for 20 years, and I understand the struggles of being alone on the Floor. The staff are nott set up for success. We waited for 30 minutes for water. I can see the poor girl was by her self. That was the last time I saw her. 2 more servers came on and the disappeared. After 40 minutes we finally got our order in, I asked for water and tobacco and she had to go to kitchen to get it? Weird. Why are these thing at easy access? No one came back we had to hunt down to go box. No apologies to us or acknowledgment. Won't go back

New favorite! We were warmly greeted upon entry, told we could sit wherever we like and there’s a water station. It was very clean and very well lit due to the natural lighting. Our server was the most attentive and considerate person. She gave us space but also made sure to see how we liked our first bites and that we had enough water and offered to package our leftovers at the end. We only kept leftovers so we had enough food for the next day too because it was so good we wanted to “keep the party going”. I highly recommend the mango lemonade and the vegetable and mango curry. It was very easy to eat vegan here. I highly recommend coming here!

TLDR: finally a Taste of India that is legitimately a taste of India. We came here for dinner on the way to the Cascades - I had my reservations about how good it would be because of how picky I am about India food. Safe to say, this place really does do a fantastic job. We ordered the paneer tikka masala, Baingan bharta, paratha and the coffee ice cream. Everything was fabulous. The baingan bharta was actually smoked and you could taste it - 💯 The coffee ice cream was really the highlight for me though (so much so that we came back the next day on our way back from the cascades, lol). It’s homemade and uses South Indian style coffee (with chicory!) I’m very pleased with my experience here. I will say, we ordered a spice level 4 and I think it overwhelmed the other flavors. I would recommend sticking with a level 3.

Great indian place! We had Lamb Biriyani and some other lamb curry with coconut in it. Both tasted great. They ask you beforehand your intended spice level, and they know their spices. We took the maximum spice level and it was really spicy! Loved this! I personally preferred the curry more than the biriyani. We also had the Pakora Platter, that was quite average. But the Saffron Ice cream we had as dessert was really good! The place was quite nice overall, as well as the food. Recommended if you want to experience good spicy indian food.

A well known local Japanese restaurant hidden in this classic cottage. We have two lunches on two consecutive days, because we found out that the owner is moving back to her home country, and will change to new management after Christmas, and we have so many things we want to try. On the first day, we chose a bento box lunch and a sashimi set. Their qualities are good, teriyaki chicken is tender, and veggie tempura are fresh with light coating. We tried shabu shabu on the next day, customer need to pre order it one day before. They just use the very simple Kumbo broth to bring out the natural favour of ribeye and other ingredients, the portion is good for sharing, All other dishes are nice and yummy. Many old customers come and farewell the owner, who is busy training up new owner's team, I hope the new management can keep up their standards.

We LOVED this place. The food was excellent, service very good. My wife and I both had the Salmon Bento with California roll and Edamame which proved to be a tortuously and temptingly huge amount of food, but we gave it our best effort. 🙏🏽❤️ One suggestion: add Japanese background music

As soon as you open the door,you can enjoy the aroma of authentic Japanese food that we missed since leaving Hawaii 4 years ago. Portions are very generous and the taste is the best we’ve found in the Northwest. Sadly no to go orders, but they’re willing to pack up your leftovers

Our go-to place for some good ramen in Skagit county. I have tried their Cha Shu Pork Ramen and Cha Shu Miso Ramen - they both have rich flavor! Chicken karaage is my son's favorite. Will definitely be back!

Mexican restaurant
The Tepic Mexican Restaurant in Mount Vernon is an enchanting and well-decorated establishment. The service provided is commendable, however, the highlight of this place is undoubtedly the food; it is substantial in portion size and incredibly delectable. One particular dish that stands out is the Macho Burrito, which leaves diners so satisfied that they may skip their next meal altogether.
Tepic was very welcoming and we didn’t wait long on a Friday night to get seated. Staff was very friendly and gave us a show with our food. I ordered the special margarita: Blood orange margarita. By far in my my top 5 of best tasting margaritas I’ve experienced. The food was delicious and hot .. obviously. We loved the 3 meat fajitas with veggies .

I asked what the most popular burrito is and the waitress told me the Macho Burrito. I got it with Carne Asada. I found out why it is popular. Not only is it big but it was very good. I couldn't eat the whole thing.

Vegetarians be warned, the options here are absolutely bland, bland, bland. I received a tortilla filled with plain unseasoned white rice, beans, and a few green bell peppers and onions. Not even the veggies had a hint of any seasoning. The burrito was smothered in a weird tomato-y sauce that tasted like it was from a can and left an awful aftertaste. They don’t add any cheese at all. I told the server it was completely unseasoned and bland and he shrugged and said, “Yes, that’s because it’s vegetarian.” My response was, “So I don’t get food that tastes good?” By far the worst vegetarian dish I’ve had the displeasure of eating in a Mexican restaurant.

The bar and grill, Big Lake Bar & Grill, offers excellent food at affordable prices. Their specials are particularly enjoyable, and while you may find a better burger elsewhere, it won't be as budget-friendly. It's important to set your expectations accordingly. The onion rings surpass the quality of the fries. This establishment is now open for dine-in service and serves classic diner fare that never disappoints. You can comfortably maintain distance from others while enjoying your meal with friends.
The food here is really good! The burger I had was more than enough to fill me up. There's plenty of parking, and space to have a good meal and conversation with friends. This place is biker friendly, as it has motorcycle parking directly out front. This is an amazing place to stop while out on a day-long ride. If you are feeling adventurous, try the Vegemite on some toast. There's a jar on every table. The owner of the establishment is from down under, and the decor reflects that.

This bar and grill is to die for. My husband and I have probably had every burger on their menu after a round of golf at Overlook. Their potato salad is home made and so tasty. All veggies on the burgers are cut for each burger. And there is nothing skimpy on the these burgers. Each one comes with a knife right in the middle, they are that big!! The fish and chips are fresh and HUGE!! Coleslaw is hand made fresh. Worth every penny. And Annie is the best waitress and one busy girl. Thank you Annie 😊 And they have 2 old rusty cars out front and one has bushes growing inside. So cool.

A cute "hole in the wall" kind of place. I always saw it busy when driving by and we wanted a fun place to have a dinner after work. Food was very good, so were the drinks and atmosphere. Service seemed a bit slow but the servers were very nice and friendly and we were not in a hurry so it didn't really bother me. I had the panko fish and chips, a very generous portion, and the seasonal drink "Christmas tree" I think, perfectly sweet and fruity.

Good Food and People at the drive thru BBQ place. Was expensive, spent $70+ for 5 meaty ribs, 1-1/2 lbs of brisket and beans. It's BBQ and respectfully they can charge what they want. I get it... This was a onetime vacation purchase for a local family reunion. Probably would look elsewhere next time for more affordable options, that would give my family more food for our buck.

We got the pulled pork sandwich and the Trailboss which comes with 2 ribs and 1/4 chicken, your choosing of dark or white meat. Comes with a side of your choosing so we got the potato salad and mac & cheese. We opt for the spicy bbq and happy we did.

I can’t fully express how impressed I am with Kelley’s — not just their food, but their team, too. I wanted to spoil a company partner of ours and didn’t really know how I should order. They asked me questions, offered the perfect solution and really cared to know it was the right one. Food was incredible (brisket, pulled pork, chicken, slaw, potato salad and corn bread were so good. But, those beans — hot diggity). In all of my excitement, I forgot to snag my receipt (much to our bookkeeper’s dismay). The next day, I called (during lunch rush, I realized) and sheepishly asked if there was any way to get a copy of it. “Not a problem at all”, they said, “we know how important that is!” Not even 5 minutes later, I got a call saying they found it and were going to text it me. If these little things matter to them, just think how much love they put into their food (spoiler: you can taste it). Thank you, Kelley’s — can’t wait to come back soon!

If you have never eaten here GO NOW!! This place is AMAZING! The ladies working here were the nicest, kindest people and were completely dedicated to making sure we had nothing less than a phenomenal dining experience. My coworker and I had driven past this place many times but never stopped, and now I'm kicking myself! We both had the brisket French dip w/au jous sandwich special and not only was the brisket tender and melt-in-your-mouth good, but the creamy horseradish and BBQ sauce that came with it were top shelf full of flavor. Also, my search for good mac & cheese in WA has officially ended: theirs is hearty and creamy without being overdone or over-worked and had just the right amount of seasoning. We were also offered a sample of the cowboy beans and I can tell you for a fact these were the best damn baked beans I've ever had, and I grew up just outside of Boston! I treated us to their oatmeal butterscotch cookies and... Oh my Gawd! Delicious! They must have someone's grandma imprisoned in the basement! The food is made with large amounts of love, the service is exceptional, and we will make it point to stop here EVERY time we come through here from now on. Google should allow 6 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I decided to visit Dragon Inn Restaurant for some Chinese food and was pleasantly surprised by the interior design. Despite the shady entrance, the restaurant had an unexpected touch of Christianity with bible verses and Christian music playing. The food was excellent, especially the egg rolls and shrimp fried rice. The server, John, provided fast service and ensured that I had a great dining experience. I highly recommend this place for its top-tier food and will definitely be returning in the future.
Very good option for skagit county. It was pretty big portions and the customer service was top tier. Food was very reasonable and the egg drop soup was very good. Almond chicken was dry but ok. Garlic shrimp noodles was really good.

A lovely hidden gem next to a bowling alley. Service was attentive, professional and just the right blend of taking care of the table while giving space for us to enjoy. Almond fried chicken and Mongolian beef definitely worth presence at the table. Both soups were prepared well, traditional, balanced and served in cups that keep them hot. Also, v nice touch to begin our lunch with complimentary hot tea service, served just after being seated on a cold, rainy day. Would love to return for dinner when the full menu is offered, but certainly happy with the lunch specials. The prices are more than fair considering the portions, and we took a ton of food home. So fun to find a spot like this... Simple yet delicious and definitely memorable enough to come back again. Thanks for the great meal 🙏

Meat good. Need manly portions depends on the client, especially in this compition/service. environment. Add a item for promotion at a almost wholesale value price. Once you cater to the client specifically then you're able to establish a good unit of sale. The intention is toward the customer so therefore what you put back into your environment you feed into yourself.

This is a good restaurant with good food. It also tastes very good. The service is quick, although it sometimes 'slows down' a bit. Menu is not to big, but is diverse enough for everyone to find something of their liking. If you stay in the Best Western next door, you even get a 15% discount on the bill. Just remember that the entrance is 'in the back' of the building, next to the Best Western. On the front side is something else, although it does show a sigh of the Bistro on the roof.

I have eaten here multiple times, and was able to be an stagiaire with the Chef, George. I have seen him work specials, I've seen him make many items from scratch with ingredients that would be difficult to work with, for some of those dishes. I can say the kitchen is clean and I've also had the pleasure to watch him work the pans on heat. He knows what he's doing. A person Like that is literally only limited by the amount of creative control he's allowed to have. In small towns like this, chefs of that esteem are hard to come by, and he doesn't dissapoint. This evening I had a coconut curry seafood dish and it was better than most Thai dishes. I miss being in the industry when I watch people like him work, and when I get to talk to them for hours on end about food. Cheers, this place has great potential, and I could only hope that management has and will have the amount of passion for food that the chef does. Eat here.

!WOW! Worth it! Stop halfway on my trip between my doctor and Everett and my home up in concrete. This is an amazing place. My doctor actually said that I needed to eat pho today with lots of vegetables so that it helped in my healing of the damage from a car accident that I was in. I was in a lot of pain so I thought this would be great to get an opportunity to stretch my legs and so I look for something good in this area and this is right off the freeway. Easy to get to. Amy your service is amazing. The food is top bar I love pho and this is excellent beef broth. then I ordered extra vegetables and they also have a topping bar where I got some basil but just a caution. You only need a little bit of it cuz this is really high quality spicy basil and it's not something you eat straight but it's excellent in the soup. I also added some jalapeno peppers but the spice already had enough flavor and kick to it and I just can't stop eating. The beef slices were on the large size and on one of them I couldn't bite into it cuz it was kind of grisly and they immediately replaced it with several slices of smaller pieces and I'm good to go. This is a really customer service oriented place and if you come here you will be delighted. I'm also ordering the yakisobe to go for my husband and I bet they'll wok stuff is just really good. I can hear it sizzling as the stir fry it up fresh for me. Next time I'll try the bubble tea. They have a actual bubble tea bar off to the side. Kinda nice to see all the choices that are available.

My first time here and it was fairly busy the wait staff was super nice and polite I was sat right away. I already knew I was was having Pho tai as its my favorite. I had a large and was very satisfied with the portion size as its only a dollar more for a large. The flavor of the soup was close but a bit on the sweet side I still enjoyed it very much . The noodle texture was perfect and I mean I'm picky about this!! So big compliments there. If I had to complain about anything is the sprouts and basil were in water and that wasn't the issue its that the water seemed cloudy a lil dirty if you will, but I still got what I needed and didn't get sick lol ! But again that was my only complaint . I WILL definitely be back as this is the best Pho I've had in the area. And I live in Oak harbor and work in Anacortes so I'm talking about a big area lol !

My only complaint is that I’m so used to wooden chopsticks that their nice ones did not grip well in my hands! I had one helluva time eating my Pho! I ordered the steak Pho (well done) and it was really good! My grandson had the grilled chicken Pho which was even better! The 7 of us were all very happy with our food (all got Pho except my hubby who got beef teriyaki) Egg rolls were also tasty! Large portions, enough for yummy leftovers, so really you are getting 2 meals out of your order. Despite it being incredibly busy (always a good sign) the service and food were fantastic!

Then it felt like we were charged whatever she felt like charging. my friend was charged $20 then when we walked away she stuffed what should have been his change in the tip jar. I will be back, I just hope it was an off day. Old review: The food is amazing. Showed up with a group of 6 after a long day. We all ordered multiple rounds of food and could not stop eating. I had the menudo and two tacos. The adobada is delightful. The beer is all cold and served with a chili lime mix on the rim. I will be getting the mole next time.

So I stopped here because we needed motor oil. The last time I was there, it was a small grocery market. Now it sure seems to be just a restaurant... But my daughter was hungry, so we ordered food. The cost of the food is what got me. What in the world? The gordita was $7!!!!! Go to sabores or to the World Market before here! I tried most of the meats? Carne asada, lengua, pollo, tripa ec. Also I confirmed their rice and beans were made fresh daily. He guaranteed yes it was. Review...Beans were ok...rice...no flavor. Wait staff underwhelming, to say the least. Again, drive a few miles down and u got the best of the best Mon-Sun.

I was heading to Martha's Beach and found this place. It has a Mexican Grocery store. Awesome Lady and informative about the area. I got a Carne Asada Torta. It was awesome. Even better at Martha's Beach.

First time here and I didn’t find the taco and burrito overly exciting. But the Menudo with foot was to die for. It was that good. A bowl full of tender beef tripes and top with (just as tender) pig foot. The soup was not only very tasty but very filling too. Will definitely be ordering it again. The tacos and burrito, not so much. Will definitely be back to try some of their other dishes.

Pretty dang good tacos for a gas station!! The tacos were fantastic and reminded me of mexico. They had a strawberries and cream dessert in the fridge that was super tasty and I'm craving it again now.

I live in Stanwood and come here at least 1-2 per week. I get the carnitas tacos, and love the avocado sauce on the side, I love this place.

Nestled in the heart of downtown Mount Vernon, Pyung Chang Korean BBQ is a delightful culinary destination that stands out as the city's sole Korean restaurant. This charming eatery invites you to embark on a flavorful journey with its diverse menu, where dishes like the renowned seafood pancake take center stage and leave diners craving more. The ambiance is relaxed and welcoming, making it an ideal spot for both first-time visitors and seasoned KBBQ enthusiasts alike.
First time trying this place. We drove up from Seattle to see the tulips and found this place. The server was so sweet and kept apologizing for us having to wait a little bit. We were in no rush and appreciated her communication. So often servers don’t acknowledge this. Food was great too. Bathrooms a little disarray but I assumed due to being short staffed. I’m a bathroom snob anywhere I go.

One of my top favorite places for Korean BBQ! The staff is always friendly and eager to help/see if we need anything else. I love the music and the vibes are great. The food is spectacular, from the BBQ to the katsu, everything is just soooo good! We recently tried a new menu item, the cheese corn, which was cheesy and sweet, would get again!

Been coming for years but has gotten worse and worse. First it took 45 minutes to finally see our food. The chap jae is sugary, the sauce has been made more starchy I suppose to save money. The spicy beef tofu soup we barely saw any tofu and the bulgoki soup is even worse the soup has nothing but the soup. Worst of all, they gave us frozen short ribs bbq and put on a huge fire on the grill. So the short ribs got severely burned while it’s still raw! Would not visit again. Something bad must have happened here. This place used to be so good

My favorite Korean joint! This place is great! Atmosphere is chill, service is exceptional. Probably too much food for two of us, but enjoyed every bite of it. Seafood pancake is a must! Food was amazing!

Exceptional food. I didn’t catch my servers name but she had black and blond hair, and was instrumental in making the dining experience as smooth as I’ve ever had! She made sure I was happy with my meal and was even nice to engage in conversation with. Possibly the best server I’ve ever had, as well as the best dining experience too. The chef killed it! Will be coming back. 11/10

What should have been an enjoyable lunch out turned into an exercise in patience and poor communication. After placing our order, we settled in for what we assumed would be a reasonable wait. Forty-five minutes later, our food finally began to arrive, our dishes trickled out in 5 min intervals. While the food itself was adequate when it eventually reached our table, the experience was undermined by a complete lack of coordination. The final insult came when we were informed after our extended wait that the kitchen had run out of several items. This revelation felt particularly irkesome given that a simple heads-up when we ordered could have saved everyone time and frustration. A brief “Just so you know the kitchen is behind” would have demonstrated basic consideration for customers’ time and expectations. Good restaurants understand that dining is about more than just food. It’s about service, timing, and communication. While I wouldn’t call this the worst meal we’ve ever had, it’s certainly not one we’ll be rushing to repeat.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

This was by far the worst service I have ever had at a restaurant. I've eaten here multiple times and I used to love it, however this visit was terrible. One of our waitresses was fantastic and it was only her third day there, the other was awful. We had to ask multiple times for utensils even after being served our food and it took her close to 30 minutes to give us anything to eat with, and she still forgot a set of utensils for one of our party. She forgot half of our order and we had to ask she bring it to us and it took her another twenty minutes to bring it out. When we ordered drinks she forgot and then proceeded to tell us they were out of what we had ordered after waiting for twenty minutes. We were not waited on at all by her unless we specifically got up and asked for it. When I walked to the front to ask for utensils yet again the man at the counter proceeded to make fun of me as soon as I walked away. Our waitress as well as the man were clearly stoned and were not doing there jobs at all. They also shut the lights off on us when we were in the middle of our meal. Our waitress forgot our waters as well and we never received any water the entire time we were there. The only saving grace to this visit was the brand new waitress who was taking care of us as well as the few other guests, essentially she was running the whole show. Would not recommend, there are plenty of other better Korean BBQ places that are worth your time and money.

It’s never a good feeling when the only decent waitress in the restaurant tells you it’s her third day after you compliment how well she’s doing. Let me start by saying this, the new waitress was WONDERFUL. The second star is only for her. She was attending our table better than the waitress who was supposed to be serving us, along with most of the tables there, if not all. The one who was SUPPOSED to serve us, as well as the other man working, both appeared too stoned to even remember our order after being told it three times. We waited 30 minutes for dining utensils, they forgot our grilled items multiple times, and the new waitress ended up being the one to finally bring us what we needed, despite us not being in her section. This was supposed to be a fun mother’s day outing, however it ended up being extremely frustrating and disappointing. Would not recommend unless you have high frustration tolerance. This place used to be fun and unique, now it’s simply a let down. To the new waitress whose name slips my mind, you did wonderfully, I hope you are appreciated for your efforts!

Draft Pic's Pub-Grub & Pizza is a local establishment that pleasantly surprises visitors with its high-quality food. This pub offers a variety of options, including the delicious grinder club sandwich and fresh, flavorful salads that received compliments from everyone at the table. The hot sandwiches are perfectly toasted and highly satisfying. What sets this place apart is the exceptional staff, who previously worked at Conway Pub and have greatly improved the overall experience at Draft Pic's.
Best place to play pool in Mount Vernon with tournaments on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. The girls behind the bar are always running and providing excellent service. . The burgers and sandwiches are good. I like the artichoke dip appetizer. Karaoke with MonT on Saturday nights is fun. This place gets so busy even on the weekdays. One of my favorite establishments, I've been coming here since they had the bar in the main pool room. It's nice that they dedicated a space for the lounge and a separate room for the pool tables. Draft Pic's is a Mount Vernon staple establishment, gathering place, pool hall, and otherwise great place to meet up with friends for drinks, games, karaoke, etc.

Sooo one of my gfs and I decided to head to a bar for Martini after we just had a full day at the Tulalip festival and eating oysters. I don't live in the area so it's always a treat visiting. First time at this bar and I thought I looked fun. We were just in time for Happy Hour. I loved the waitress/bartender who helped us. Super friendly and it was cool my friend could bring her dog to sit outside (only) with us while we had our drinks. I decided on an Asian Pear martini and we ordered the artichoke dip. The dip was pretty good. I could've did without the cream cheese in it but the garlic bread that came with it was delicious. My drink was so good! I love the vibe here. I definitely will be back again whenever I'm in the area!

What a fantastic experience! A cloudy spring day catching up with an old friend. So we decided to sip some tequila. The prices are exceptional. What would cost $100 in Seattle was $40 here. And they have really good tequilas. And the bartender is exceptional. Lindsey checked her stock, made some suggestions, and off we went for a 4 hour conversation in a very chill atmosphere. They also have many big screens and it seemed a different channel on each which was cool. Some places have 10 monitors all playing the Mariners. Not here - UW women’s softball, Kentucky derby, F1, golf, and the mariners. They also have pool tables, pull tabs, and other arcade type games. Saturday night karaoke, a pool tournament, and so much more. So if you’re passing by or staying for awhile be sure to spend some time in Draft Pics!

Had a burger and fries, both great. But I went for a European soccer game (UEFA women's). The bartender took the time to find it and it ended up on 3 screens and she put it on the PA. Exactly what I was looking for (not 3 screens, but it was a great game). I prefer a artisanal beer, but I did not ask about bottled, because they had pFriem and Bodhizafa IPAs on tap. Both perfect while I watched an afternoon match. I'll be back. Lunch menu is a pretty good deal. Patron said the pizza was worth trying. Both the owner and the bartender very friendly. perfect neighborhood sports bar, with decent (8?) range of taps.

Good food and atmosphere with tv's in every corner. She assumed to much. Left without taking my beer order the first time. We were not done with dinner and our tan was on the table. When she came back, the other couple ordered something and she left. I was still hungry. And when she came back, it was cash or card. I was done. With a note saying why she didn't get a tip.

This place is Awesome! Great Old School vibe, bar games, music, amazing food and unbeatable prices. The staff is amazing. This is definitely a must visit, especially; f you are hungry late... Yes they serve food til 1am at least. Have a wonderful time every time we come here. New favorite watering hole! Chris & Dave Approved!!!

It's okay. Fish and Chips were alright, pass on the cheesesteak. The atmosphere is clean, service is okay, being a sports bar, I thought there would be more televisions to make it more comfortable from each table angle. Ample beer selection. The price point overall is on the upper end for the experience.

Gentlemen Gene's Pub is a charming spot in Mount Vernon, WA, perfect for those looking to enjoy a hearty meal in a welcoming atmosphere. This pub offers an array of delicious options, including burgers and breakfast items, but it’s the clam chowder that truly steals the show—rich and packed with flavor. Patrons have shared heartwarming experiences here, highlighting the attentive service from staff like Rosie who go above and beyond to make guests feel special.
Ordered dinner on DoorDash from Gentleman Gene’s, and it was terrific. Ordered the steak, with a side, and cup of soup. I was very happy with the clam chowder, it was flavorful and had lots of clams. The steak was ordered medium/rare, and it came perfectly cooked. The baked potato was still hot and came with all the fixings. I will definitely be visiting them in the future.

We were passing through after a Norwegian Cruise and heading to Vancouver, Canada to check it out. Then, back to Missouri . Thought we'd Try something off the beaten path & different. Started out Great, but the Waitress didn't get our Order in Right or it was the kitchen, she said. Regardless, We waited for over 30 minutes. Then, after Apologizing, we thought it would get better, but it didn't. Never got refills, took Forever to get a box, and we finally went up to her to pay the bill. Thought it would be a Nice place, but the food wasn't that good, the food was OK, and the Service was Bad! Don't Recommend...

Coworkers and I were looking for a place to eat some steaks but everything was closed so we came here instead. It was fine. Could tell the vibe changed as soon as we walked in because of the Melanin, turned out fine though. Most of my coworkers got the Ribeye which was...eh. Not the best but not the worst. Best thing hands DOWN was the Clam Chowder...THAT was delicious. Waitress was cool too after she was able to handle 5 different tables.

Nice local pub with good food! The service here is quick and very friendly. I like the casual neighborhood atmosphere. I think the prices are also very fair and a good value for what you get. I really enjoyed the chili! The French fries are also pretty great. Fries are often pretty mediocre or standard at most restaurants but these were so good I actually finished them.
Kristen O — Google review
We had a great time. The service was great. We were seated and had drinks within minutes of our arrival. Food was served quickly. We had fish and chips. The fish was cooked nicely, and the fries were cooked great. My only complaint would be that the decor seems a little dated. But still a very nice-looking place. We will return the next time we are in the area. Thank you.

This is not a review for food; the food tonight was fine - when it finally came out an hour and a half after we sat down. This review is for the absolutely unforgivable lack of communication and horrendous lack of service. We came as a group of 6, four adults and 2 children under 5. Place wasn't slammed, but it was dinner time - I get it. We sat down, ordered drinks and food, and waited. For 1.5 hours. Our server came over once in the middle and apologized once for the delay. What we eventually found out, was there was only one person in the kitchen, and a large group of about 10 had just ordered before we sat down. My objection here is the lack of communication from the staff. If we had been told after sitting down that it would most likely be an hour or more wait, we would have been able to make a decision if we were willing to wait. With 2 hungry kids, waiting at a table for 1.5 hours is not a great time. I understand, and sympathize, with being short staffed. Honest communication with your customers will keep them coming back, even if they choose to pass for a night. Now, we won't ever be back. I would highly caution anyone choosing to dine here, ask where you are in line before ordering food.

A huge shout out to Rosie at Gentleman Gene's! My father in law, my husband and myself went in for lunch after leaving the funeral home for business with my mother in law's passing. My father in law brought a photo and put it in front of the empty seat at the table. We each ordered a drink with lunch, and Rosie gestured to the photo and asked "what will the lady be having, on the house?" (Whiskey 7-up). She made an effort to engage with my fil at every passing by our table. Where did you meet? How long were you married? What did you enjoy doing together? While our lunches were very good, Rosie will never be forgotten to us, she made a hard day bearable and was kind beyond measure. ​
