Possibly one of the best deli’s I’ve ever been to. My family lives in Anacortes so they knew the best place to go to. We were very hungry, so we out-of-towners ordered whole sandwiches. Most everyone ordered a half sandwich. We had half sandwiches left for the next day or a snack later on that day!! They are Huge and so delicious. We had shrimp sandwich’s with sourdough bread, avocado etc. Yum!!
Supremo super yum! Brownies rocked, Beyond homemade! Sandwiches, salads, desserts everything here is absolutely amazing. And everybody else knows about it too so you will have a bit of a line. It moves very fast but you need the time to decide what you will order. On the main street through Anacortes is where they’re located. I can only imagine how great breakfast is, you must go there it is fabulous! We will be back!

We were met by Gabriel, a very friendly down to earth dude. Very friendly and polite. I don’t remember the dark haired chick’s name, but her attitude could light up a room!
THE FOOD - Excellent! We had hash made with pastrami. The homemade hot sauces were divine and quality was awesome. I was wanting espresso, but the only coffee was drip. I reluctantly had some and OMG, it was great! I had several cups. The next norming, we stopped for coffee on our way out of town and it was given on the house.
Overall good karma and great food!

Some nicer foods like scotch egg, truffle fries, and French onion soup. I ate lunch there and they had some small plates along with larger dishes. As it is higher quality food and service you do pay more.
4. 5th Street Bistro

Reviewed By Joyce9732 - Anacortes, Washington
I recommended this restaurant to friends from Gig Harbor and California. From the cocktails that didn't arrive until the dinners, the water being poured by one of our guests, the cold "hot" entrees, to the hour wait before any food arrived at all, this was a total disaster.
We had made a reservation in the 5th Street Bistro for eight. Instead, we were seated in the main dining room, which was quite cold. We were sitting for almost 30 minutes before anything but the drink orders were taken. A large group was preparing to leave, one other table was occupied, although another table of two left before ordering. Perhaps they saw the writing on the wall!
After the orders finally arrived, approximately an hour and a quarter after our arrival, one of the party said she felt like she was eating warmed up pasta. Another remarked, at least yours is a little warm! French fries were undercooked, three salads arrived almost 15 minutes before the other five, three people never received water, until one of our guest poured for all of us, including the table next to us!
I went out to the lobby to ask for service twice, and finally we were assigned two wait staff. Later, a manager had the gall to ask if everything was all right!
The only thing they did to try to amend the situation was give us all complimentary desserts. Sadly, this did not remove the bad taste in all our mouths, and I would never go back!

Whether you want breakfast, lunch, dessert or just a coffee, you will be happy. Loads of choices of comfort food. As you first walk in, you smell the freshly baked goods.

I’ve gone to Adrift for years and always love it! My favorite are the tacos with pulled pork. Downtown Anacortes is pleasant to stroll around.
7. Greek Islands

Reviewed By skatecreekrd - Seattle, Washington
If you like Greek food or want to sample it this is a low to moderate cost option. Compared to a Greek restaurant in Greece it falls short. Might be ok for Americans but would probably not survive in Athens.The restaurant is small and stuffed with tables and can become crowded. It's located on the main street and gets traffic noise if it's warm outside and the door is kept open. Service is good and the menu varied. Two dinners and a glass of wine is $50. On my next visit to Anacortes we'll probably try another restaurant. This one just isn't the type you keep going back to.

We started with the Oysters and then each had an entree with some Washington State wine. I often have the seafood pasta. Kat, our server is always wonderful and shares our passion for wine! I will go back to this restaurant any time I am in town. The bar is fun and they have a cool outdoor space for nice days in spring and summer. It never fails to be consistently wonderful!
