Great food, the best service in Whatcom and a local gem. Live music nights are phenomenal! Why leave the Valley when "The Diner" is close, delicious and our favorite place to hang with our community. read more

I absolutely love this place. Great service, great food, great selection. They do it all right. Any day I come here I am happy. Good job you guys!!! Personally recommended: any burger (they are all good) chicken fried steak (it's fantastic) Crispy chicken sandwich (very good) .. and throw a double margarita on there if u r going all out - good drinks read more

Short version: Worst service ever and a waste of $50. Can't even review the food because after more than an hour, and after asking twice about our order status, we refused to eat tepid burgers or wait another 60 minutes for them to be remade. Longer version: Stopped in on our way home from Artist Point for a late lunch. Ordered at the front counter and planned to eat on the patio with our dog. We got a buzzer and waited. After 30 minutes of waiting, I went inside and asked the bartender if someone could tell me the status of our order. He said the kitchen was backed up. Didn't offer to check further or ask anyone else. After another 15 minutes, I went back in and flagged down a server. He checked with the counter and it turns out our order had just been sitting there in takeout boxes for nearly 25 minutes. By this point, it was barely warm and the cheese was clearly congealed and cold, but the server claimed it was "just put up there." And the ticket showed it had been sitting there for 25 minutes. No one buzzed our order buzzer. No one checked to see why food was just sitting there. And the server only offered to remake the food as an afterthought, when I opened the boxes to look at the food. By this point we were starving and past the point of willing to wait. So we tossed the food and left. It was a waste of $50 and an afternoon that, up to this point, had been great. I'm willing to wait for food made from scratch. But not for an hour, not when I see employees in well marked Acme Diner shirts leaving the kitchen every few minutes to walk across the parking lot or across the street (which could explain why the kitchen was "backed up"), and not when it seems like the staff can't talk to each other to make sure customers are taken care of. read more

Took a gorgeous mid morning drive to eat here and see the scenery, I am so glad we did. The Eggs Benedict was truly amazing and the BLT my son had was so full he took the other half home for later. We will be back soon - lovely atmosphere and staff! read more

We went to our friend's cabin in Glacier and we always passed this Diner on the way up. We never thought to stop here for all the times we have driven by. What made us stop is that my girlfriends and I are always looking for good pie places to try. Acme came up as one of the pie places that was highly recommended. On our way home from Glacier, we decided to stop here for a late lunch. The staff was so nice and friendly when we walked in. We checked out the pies and boy did they have a nice selection of pies! We wanted to have some pie after lunch but we were stuffed. The diner was very clean and we loved the old diner feel of the place. They had booths, tables, and a bar. It felt like a diner from my parent's generation. I really loved the design and ambiance of the place. It just felt really comforting. My friend ordered the BLT, and I ordered the club sandwich. We asked for our bacon extra crispy and it was like they knew exactly what we wanted. It was the perfect crispiness and they were big thick cuts of bacon! The lettuce and tomatoes in our sandwiches could not be any fresher and my club had a really nice helping of sliced turkey and ham. No skimping on ingredients here! Our sandwiches were made perfectly and the portions are nice and big! We were stuffed! If only we had room for dessert!!! We really wanted to try the pie but we just couldn't do it. I have to say this one is a gem of a diner in Acme. If you ever pass through Acme or are nearby, I highly recommend it! We will definitely be back for that PIE! read more

Awesome burgers! Great outdoor pet friendly patio!! Live music makes the whole summer experience great!!

Very cute 50's style diner. Our waitress was a real sweetheart. We tried the cornbeef hash which was awesome. The gravy was ok. I would recommend getting the kind with sausage chunks in it. I guess they serve it with and without. The biscuits def need gravy :) May return to try the lunch menu. The prices were a bit high but most places are these days. read more

Absolutely everything we've ordered there has been mouthwatering. From the Prime Rib, Fish & Chips, Cheeseburgers, Chicken Fried Steak etc has not disappointed. Keeps bringing us back every week or two !! The sweet potato waffle fries are the best I've EVER had. The tartar sauce ? Hands down my favorite. Coleslaw ? Yep that too. We order side salads no matter what we get for an entree because we crave them !! The pies !! Boy oh boy the pies...... So many flavorful varieties to choose from when the case is full. Best pie you'll ever eat !! The waitress is very friendly, funny and knows her business. She hustles and never skips a beat. Great job girl !! The decor and atmosphere is fun retro old diner, laid back, family friendly or date night friendly. Great outdoor space with a small town atmosphere. You gotta come and try it for yourself !! read more

5 Stars Acme Diner in Acme, Washington What a find! My friend and I took a scenic drive up Highway 9 in Washington and ended up at the Acme Diner and wow, are we glad we did! This place is an absolute gem. The diner itself feels like a step back in time, with a fun 1950s vibe mixed with a cozy, hometown "Northern Exposure" kind of atmosphere. There's a bar area and a surprisingly extensive menu with everything from hearty breakfast options to sandwiches and full dinner plates like prime rib and turkey with stuffing. I had the Reuben sandwich with potato salad, and it was phenomenal. The corned beef was tender, packed with flavor, and there was plenty of it. Their homemade potato salad was just as good; fresh and creamy. My friend had the chicken wings (not battered), and they were perfectly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. They even make their own ranch dressing from scratch! But the real star of the show? The pie. I cannot say enough about the pie. I got a slice of blackberry cheesecake pie and raspberry cheesecake pie to go (because I was already stuffed from lunch), and honestly, I'm still dreaming about it. It's not your typical dense cheesecake; it's fluffy, creamy, and heavenly. The crust is a traditional flaky pie crust (not graham cracker) and was perfectly crispy. The fresh berries on top just burst with flavor. I would drive all the way back just for the pie alone. It's that mind-blowingly good. The staff also made the experience even better. They are warm, welcoming, genuinely excited about their diner, and proud (rightfully so!) that most items are homemade. They made us feel like part of the family. Acme Diner is a true hidden treasure in a tiny town, and 1000% worth the drive. If you love good food, friendly people, and PIE (seriously, do not miss the pie), you absolutely need to check this place out. Go! you will not be disappointed! read more

Felt bad that we showed up FIVE MINUTES before closing. Hated that when I worked in the restaurant business. But the friendly staff reassured us everything was copacetic. Ordered the Chicken Burger, Sweet Potato Waffle Fries, and Apple Pie. After hiking all day at Mt. Baker it was glorious! I'm not sure if it was made with angel tears but it the pie was almost as good as my mother's. The sandwich was generous, the fries were crunchy and hot. If I could have stayed the night I would, just to eat there me again. But now it'll be on our stop every time we get up there. Thank you! =s= P.S. Even on my way out the cool smiles at me. Like who does that to the person who delayed you closing? read more

I don't want to write a nice review because everyone will come to our favorite spot. LOL It's nice inside despite looking like it might be run down on the outside--it's not. This is a nice place to get good food, a great smile and excellent service whether you are a local or just passing through. read more

I showed up just as they were bringing out a whole new batch of hot freshly baked pies. They are made locally by a grandmother so they are extra special. The dutch apple was impressive and the blueberry pie was the best I've ever enjoyed! read more

Acme Diner - Pie! - Diners Near Me - Acme, Washington

This spot was on my way back from a strenuous hike up north. It is definitely out of the way for any near by large town, that's for sure. If it is on your route, and you're craving a good size burger, then make sure to stop here. When you walk in, you see a retro diner bar and that's where I sat. There was plenty of booth seating as well if you want something more comfy. I arrived on an early Friday afternoon so it wasn't too busy. The service was great although the food took a little while and there was really no one there. I think they forgot to put my order. As soon as I got it, it was worth the wait. Amazing in every bite. Juicy and tasty. I would stop here again if I'm ever in town. read more

Came to Acme on our way to Mt. Baker. It was a long long long drive to even get to Acme from where we were coming from. We came here on a recommendation from a family member that had been here before. Love the inside of this place!! It gave like a western/70's vibe? It also had a bar section in the back area. Our waitress was great and gave us information about their menu. A lot of the their ingredients are local. I decided to get the veggie omelet and LOVED IT! I forgot what everyone else got but I do remember these HUGE blue berry pancakes that my bf and his mom got. Dannnng if I could have those everyday it be very dangerous for my health lol They were fluffy and crispy and the blueberries were sweet! amazing food here honestly. I definitely reccomend coming here if you are In the area on your way to mt baker or just on your way north lol read more

The waiter was great. Super nice in his cool Starry Night shirt This probably our 10th time here and maybe I should have reviewed earlier because we had some good breakfasts and lunches. This visit we went for dinner and it was not good. At all. We each ordered dinner with a side salad. About half the lettuce was black, gross and old. Even the croutons tasted of rancid oil. My balsamic dressing had zero taste of balsamic vinegar My hamburger steak was fine. Tasty beef. My wife ordered turkey dinner - the turkey was just an odd pile of dry scraps. Wife was still hungry so we ordered a piece of blackberry pie each. Pie was all sugar no berries with a thin crumble top. A person who knows pies would not call it a good pie, It saddens me to write this. I hope it was just the chef was off. I'm not sure if we want to go back for dinner read more

Friendly service; hot, generous servings; the diner experience at its finest! I had the corned beef hash and eggs, my husband had one of the skillets. He got a homemade biscuit with his food which stole the show! I didn't get to have any of the biscuit because I'm gluten-free, but they do offer gluten free toast. They'll even turn the gluten free bread into French toast if you like, but I didn't ask about whether the batter would be free from cross-contamination. The pies looked lovely but alas, not gluten free either. The place was clean and well kept, and the photography on the walls was beautiful interspersed with the usual diner decor. Overall a lovely experience worth taking a leisurely drive for. read more

Acme Diner - Turkey dinner - Diners Near Me - Acme, Washington

Overall, it would definitely warrant a second visit if we ever go to that remote corner of the world again. It had the charm of a50's diner including the furniture. My daughter and I were greeted immediately upon entering. The waitress (Rebecca I think) was friendly throughout our visit. My daughter had what she always gets when it's on the menu, Corner Beef Reuben. It was simple for, done well. I had the Philly Cheese steak. The beef was a good quality beef with plenty of cheese and onions. The only reason they got a 4-Star was some of her was cold but just a few pieces on the outside. Fries were good. read more

First off, this a diner and it's beautiful. You're in Acme so there are old western movie posters on the walls as well as a juke box in the corner and a local guy named Bob at the counter. Then along comes Katy the server and she just oozes awe shucks charm. Bob gives a running commentary on the diner as well as local goings on. And then the food. As it was 8:30 AM we decided on the number 1 special of the day which was 2 eggs, meat, hash browns, and toast. $12 folks. It was worth $24 but we only paid $12. Get on your horse, or Prius, or Ford pick up and get on out to the Acme Diner. It's worth it. read more

As we always say, it the "People" that make a difference for any business! Acme Diner make you feel right at home from the first moment you step in! We were warmly greeted by Kimberly our gracious server who also is the owner of this very homey and lovely diner! ( Apparently, Kim took over the business in Jan 2020! ). Menu is your regular homestyle entrees, Soups / Salads, Burgers, Breakfasts, Homestyle Meals and of course their Homemade Pies and famous Acme Ice Cream!! We came here after reading some great reviews from Yelp and also their intro at the hotel we were staying at. My Turkey dinner was done perfectly! With all the fixings and of course a very tasty and rich gravy makes the whole dish stands out! I particularly like their pan fried mixed vegetables so fresh and tasty! The Cobb Salad as you can see is filled to the brim with Grilled Chicken / Bacon, the vegetables are as fresh as can be!! And with that big heap of Blue Cheese how can it go wrong! Overall, this is a great stop over place for you to enjoy both good food and great hospitality! Thanks again Kim! We really enjoyed our meal and hope to come back very soon to try out other goodies! read more

I am a diner fan in general so when I was looking for a spot to eat a late breakfast or early lunch on our drive from Edison to Mt Baker and saw the rave reviews for this place, I was pumped! Comments about this area being a restaurant desert is accurate and one review saying this diner is worth a drive out of the way sold me on this place out of a few other options! Luckily this was exactly on our way. This diner is so cute and clean, the staff was so nice, and the food was delicious! They even let me add cheese and onions to my hashbrowns! I would return if ever in the area again! read more

Here's the thing about Acme diner- it's located in a restaurant desert and unless you are a local you have to be really dedicated to diner food to drive all the way out to this secluded valley to have a burger. The drive is beautiful though and the food is definitely worth the extra mileage on your car. We had the Acme burger and a chicken taco salad. The burger was thick and handmade with two huge rashers of bacon and a chunk of real cheddar melted over the juicy patty, a delicious departure from fastfood. My taco salad was a bowl full of yumminess. Fresh greens topped with grilled chicken, shredded cheddar, black olives, grape tomatoes, crisp jalapeños and tortilla chips. It comes with salsa and sour cream but I added thousand island dressing because I'm weird that way. Now on to the real reason for driving a little bit out of our way- the homemade pie! Tonight's selection was Banana cream, Coconut cream, Strawberry cream, Strawberry-rhubarb, Dutch raspberry, Blackberry and All American Apple. (I might have missed a pie but you get my point, they have a lot of pie. Unfortunately no Lemon Meringue which makes me more tempted to come back because that's my favorite) Both our pie choices were excellent and definitely better than any store bought pie, in fact they rivaled mom's pies- almost... Service was fast and friendly. It's a family joint and everyone seemed to know everyone else, it was a good feeling. Go the extra mile or two and visit Acme Diner you won't regret it. read more

Acme Diner is a wonderful refuge, warm, relaxing, supportive, with delicious food. Madelon and I love it.

Oh, my gosh! What a great find. Everything was great including drinks, but the highly recommended Chicken Caesar Sandwich was beyond amazing. Menu says, chicken breast, bacon, swiss cheese, lettuce and tomato on grilled parmesan-crusted sourdough bread. While the inside was terrific, it was that grilled parmesan-crusted outside that made me crazy with joy! Very cute, cute very-diner-looking place. Got to meet the wonderful owner, Kim, who made our drinks (and possibly more!), and our fabulous server, Shannon, could not have been more wonderful! Goin' back! read more

Lots of seating, large selection, friendly staff. Was worth the drive from Anacortes and a place to visit after hiking at Mt Baker.

Cody and I were driving home after a night of camping at Silver Lake Park in Maple Falls (yes I camp in December in WA lol), and were looking for a brunch spot on our way home. Well there was nothing in Maple Falls, but we came across this place after driving for not too long. We are so glad we stumbled upon this place! It was a PERFECT brunch spot. We walked in and were told to pick a spot. The place was pretty busy, but it was a Sunday morning. We chose a 2 seater and were quickly given menus and offered coffee. We ordered: - chicken fried steak with scrambled eggs, hashbrowns, and toast - Corned beef hash, hashbrowns, over easy eggs, and sourdough toast I know it's just toast but they have nice thick toast that's delicious! Friendly service, great food, small town feel. I really recommend this place! read more

Hello! I just wanted to let you all know how much we enjoyed our meal tonight (03/18/2023). We have been coming to this restaurant on and off for years and through many changes in ownership and I have to say, this was the BEST meal we have ever had here!!!!! My husband had the rib eye with baked potato and I had the grilled chicken meal with mashed potato and veggies. Everything was cooked to perfection! The staff was just as amazing as the food and we will definitely recommend this to our friends and relatives. read more

Very good fish and chips. Also good chicken fried steak. But the pies and ice cream are really something special. Definitely recommend!

Ownership is down home nice. What you'd hope for from a name like Acme Diner. Yet I'm writing for the special I ate tonight. BBQ meatloaf with mashed & gravy. Not only was it perfect for a dreary fall NW night... it was the best meatloaf Ev-Ver! Now this was the nightly special so you if you miss it, you can't go wrong with most everything "that feels like home" on the menu. Great food from the little diner that could - yum! read more

Heading to Seattle and made the detour to hit the Acme Diner which I had bookmarked after reading Andrea H's review...it was worth the detour. The room has counter seating, tables and booths...I always prefer booths. And it has a 50's style retro interior with posters on the wall from that era. They have a large menu and large portion sizes. I ordered the regular stack of blueberry pancakes and realized I should have ordered the short stack when the plate was brought out as the three pancakes were quite large. Another in our group ordered the omelette and it was massive. The coffee was okay and bottomless....great that the staff kept stopping by to check on our coffees (though I do like a stronger cup of coffee). All the staff were friendly and attentive...they made you feel welcome. They also make in house pies and cinnamon buns that looked amazing but we had no room for either...perhaps on a return trip. It was a very positive food experience and happy to recommend the Acme Diner...a short detour off I-5...and worth it. read more
