Iâm in Friday Harbor for the summer and this is the go-to spot for my coworkers and I. Phil has been welcoming from day 1 and the atmosphere in there is always chill. The beers are changed frequently so you never know what theyâre gonna have. You can rest assured, although, because the beers are always top quality. Even if youâre just here for a few days you gotta try this place out!

This spot have the typical comfort food located overlooking the harbor. A menu of a variety of fried foods from chicken to fish and onions rings and everything in between. Clam chowder was creamy and thick with potatoes and some clams. Prices are slightly high for the food quality and choice you are getting. Waitstaff helpful and polite. Atmosphere is an open-air setting viewing the harbor water. Good place for people watching. Not my first choice when getting off the ferry or sightseeing in town, views are great for a quick lunch!

Once I sat down, it took the waitress 15 minutes to notice me. They have 10 tables and were only half full at 3 in the afternoon. The couple next to me got their water, silverware, and meal before me and while I was eating the kitchen staff starting yelling at each other and NO ONE did anything about it. #nevertoreturn.

After eating seafood for several days straight, we entered Herbâs looking for a decent burger. The burgers were amazing!!! Mine was so juicy and full that I had to eat it with a fork! I asked for a special drink (chambord, vodka, sprite mix) and they did a great job with that, too!

This place has great calamari! We had that and fish tacos, more than enough for two people. Both were great. The atmosphere wasnât super good and the waitress was just okay. All in all a decent place to eat, just not spectacular.

First visit to the San Juan Islands, and we spent a day in Friday Harbor trying a couple of restaurants. This one is located In an impressive new building, and the atmosphere is a nice version of the industrial variety decor, with the brewing apparatus in a separate area from the restaurant but visible to diners. We enjoyed our beers and hamburgers here, Service was attentive and unobtrusive, and we enjoyed the whole thing. Seems to be quite a popular place and we'll be back.

I donât recall ever leaving a bad review, but the service at this restaurant was outrageously bad. A group of six of us had a birthday dinner celebration at this restaurant on a Friday night in August. Nice limited menu, outdoor seating, somewhat pricey to some extent with entrees in the $30 range but fine as this usually means a quality dining experience. Our reservation was at 7:30 but they seated us at 8. No big deal. Our waiter offered us some drinks and apps, and later took our dinner order. A good bit later, he returned and said a big group had come in and their order was before ours and this was the cause of delay. About 30 minutes later, he came back and said he forgot to turn in our dinner order. He came by about 10 minutes later to say that he was done for the evening, someone else was taking over, and he was going drinking in the adjoining bar. Nobody else really took over. We continued to patiently wait and about 30 minutes later our food finally arrived. At this point, the restaurant was closing down. No dessert or coffee was offered. We could not even find a waiter to get the check. When they did bring the check, it included a mandatory 20% tip. At this point, two and a half hours into the dinner, I felt the 20% tip was ridiculous and asked for the manager. I explained the 20% tip was quite high in that we had only recently received our dinner, our waiter quit on us to drink (10 feet away), and no other waiter took over. The manager came back, surly, took off a couple appetizers and the 20% tip, and cleared plates himself, albeit in a hostile manner. I paid cash and left a small tip, gave it to the manager at the bar. Then the manager came out and threw the change (not the bills) at us in the parking lot. Restaurant had good reviews, maybe it was a bad night, but extremely unprofessional behavior and poor service ruined the meal.
