    Good ol coffee
    Jenn A.

    Lookin for a cozy, classic, local, and friendly diner? Al's is the place. No complaints. This is your classic local diner. Food was very quick, and staff was there to always fill your cup of coffee and attend to any need. Prices were reasonable and they had all the classic breakfast options available. Eggs Benny was very good. I wish I ordered a half plate, as my stomach always fools me. I was stuffed after eating only half the plate -- even though I wanted to eat more. We also tried the breakfast sandwich which was good. I liked how they had the option for sourdough bread (my favorite). Coffee was comforting as you would expect from a diner like this. Nothing fancy here, but it will definitely be a go-to place for me if I'm in the mood for a classic breakfast.

    This little diner tucked in downtown Ferndale could not be anymore cute. Basic breakfasts and lunches prepared to perfection. Easy parking. Staff is perfect. You will want to throw money at them. This morning I had eggs, bacon, hash browns and a biscuit with butter and jam. It was just a perfect start to my days adventures. I will be back with friends! The photo is of a previous visit when I chose the French toast combo.

    Northwater - Five meat pizza, very good

    In town for the night, we were looking for a place to watch the game and Northwater had solid…read morereviews, so we decided to give it a try. Our server was outstanding. They happily put the game on when we asked and were very attentive throughout our visit, which made a great first impression. I ordered the burger with bacon and blue cheese and requested no condiments. I think there may have been some confusion in the kitchen, as the garnishes were left off as well, but our server promptly brought them out when asked. Unfortunately, the burger itself was overcooked and lacked flavor. The ciabatta roll was only partially toasted, and overall the dish fell a bit flat. The fries, however, were excellent hot, crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and absolutely delicious. I don't usually like coated fries, but these were a home run. My dining partner ordered the BLT and said the sandwich was great overall. We also shared the mozzarella sticks appetizer. They were a bit different from traditional mozzarella sticks, thicker cheese with a heavier breading. While they were good, I felt the order should have included six instead of four. Overall, even though we were one of only two tables in the restaurant, we had a great lunch, thanks largely to the excellent service.

    So sorry to say I love this wonderful restaurant at the Bellingham airport so much. It has been so…read morevery quaint and wonderful every single time I have stayed at the Holiday inn at the Bellingham airport in the last 4 yrs Now I have recognized I have been so very oblivious not share the amazing staff and incredible chefs they have here that are not fully utilized by us... the customer. I am so very sorry to you all. (the Staff) I am not a social media person to rave. I am heart felt when I say I want you to flourish. You are an incredible place of business and I never want you to fall short. So now I have recognized that I need to stop here at NorthWater restaurant to eat even when I fly in or am just in town. This is an incredible restaurant with or without, not having to do with the hotel or airport, which are both awesome... I want the area to know to stop here without a doubt in their mind. Relax and enjoy. Ms Abel
