We have eaten here before but both times the service is AMAZING! The food is so good! We always get a burger because their burgers are so good! The Caprese burger is my favorite! We had drinks tonight and the drinks were great! Our server tonight was so fun to work with! We will definitely be back. Thank you for the amazing food and service! read more

Blakeslee's Bar & Grill - The Caprese Burger! - Bars Near Me - Forks, Washington

They have very good burgers. Needed something to do and eat before we could check in to where we were staying and this was very close to it. So it fit perfectly into our schedule. Plus we got a good meal out of it as well. People were very friendly and knew the area well and where to find some of what we were looking for. read more

The food was fresh! Mozz sticks looked in house made and so did the wraps and burgers. and our server was friendly. Only comment is the bathroom is oddly close to the tables and nobody wants doo doo air next to their table but besides that it's great read more

Blakeslee's Bar & Grill - Chicken Caesar wrap and fries - Bars Near Me - Forks, Washington

We were asked to show our id's! Haven't had to do that for many years! After a certain time, they card everyone. Plenty of tables and booths throughout, with fun decorations. A bar area and two pool tables, plus tv's throughout the rooms. I ordered the Calamari fries off the appetizer section of the menu, plus a house salad. My husband ordered the nachos off the apps menu as well. My calamari came out quickly, but everything else took awhile. Not sure why, since two of the three items were considered appetizers. The calamari was very crispy on the outside and tender meat inside. Yum! The salad was pretty basic, although very small for $8. It did come with a half slice of grilled bread. The nachos were pretty standard as well. Service was friendly. read more

We went to blakeslee's for dinner. The is one of the only restaurants/ bars in forks. Upon entry, they were asking EVERYONE for ID, including people who looked like they're well over 45 (let alone 21). The inside is a bit dated but there is plenty of seating and a large bar in the back, with two pool tables. The food was just ok; caprese burger was dry but the fries were good. Note, all the apps on the menu are deep fried. Service was fine; the waitress was working hard to accommodate customers. Not sure I would eat here again, if other options were available in Forks. read more

I went here because I was told this is the closest place to a "bar" in town. It closed at 10pm the night I went and only stayed open until midnight on the weekends. It seemed like more of a restaurant than a bar but they did have 2 pool tables over in the corner. I needed something decent to take home to my air b&b so I ordered the oriental chicken salad and the fried shrimp meal. The shrimp was ok but I didn't want to eat much fried food on this trip and unfortunately there are very very few options in Forks. The salad was very lackluster for the price and the "chicken" was inedible. I sat the bar and talked briefly to a couple of the bartenders. They didn't seem interested at all in making conversation with guests. Two older guys sitting at the bar next to me made me uncomfortable so I left. I also got id'd 3 times since I walked in the door, which I'll be 40 in November, I know I look younger than I am but id'ing 3 times seems excessive. Basically this place is the latest hangout in town with bar food. Not a destination place to go to. read more

Blakeslee's Bar & Grill - Suppose to be chicken on my oriental salad. ??? - Bars Near Me - Forks, Washington

My husband and I stopped in for lunch on a Wednesday afternoon, and we were pleasantly surprised! I ordered the oriental chicken salad, and it was so good--the dressing was flavorful, and the greens were super fresh. We also shared the chicken wings, which were really tasty. The sauce on them was delicious. On top of the great food, the service was warm and friendly. Our server was so sweet and made us feel right at home. We're not local, but the next time we're in Forks, we'll definitely be coming back! read more

I recently visited Forks as a base to explore Olympic National Park and while the town is small and doesn't have much, they have Blakeslee's Bar & Grill and their awesome nachos! I was in Forks for two nights and ate at Blakeslee's both nights. Each time was great and was met with great service and personable bar tenders. I really enjoyed the atmosphere here as it had that small town feel and the restaurant served up some good eats. Both nights I had the nachos and the veggie wrap with fries. The fries were REALLY good and kept well as the first night I ordered the veggie wrap to go and ate it for lunch the next day. I also tried their roasted tomato and Gouda soup, which was also really good. If you're ever in Forks give this place a try! read more

We had a hefeweizen (good) and a hard cider (quite good). We had a reuben with onion rings, and a soup & salad combo. The salad was pedestrian, nothing special at all. The chowder (an uncharge from regular soup) was tasty and interestingly herbed -- in short ok, but I wouldn't get it again. The onion rings were great -- the highlight of our visit. The reuben was ok, though I've had better. So the net on the food was "good beer, good onion rings, most of the food passable but nothing special". The atmosphere was of an old-fashioned bar & grill, the kind with TVs scattered about showing sports, several reasonably friendly bar tenders, and the look of a place that gets rowdy on a Friday night, and busy for trivia night. Then there's the matter of the invoice and what we were charged -- the amount due wasn't the same as the total of the items listed on the invoice. It was off by less than $1, but it's pretty strange, one wonders where the accumulated errors from multiple patrons ends up (we were charged $0.82 more than the sum of the items on the ticket - see the associated image). We know that Blakeslee's is well loved in Forks - I wish we could say we loved it, but a better description would be that we got a decent but unremarkable meal there on a rainy afternoon. And in the initial review, but cut after the listing name was modified: "BTW, by being listed as "BBG Blakeslee's Bar & Grill", rather than just "Blakeslee's Bar & Grill", this Yelp listing is hard to find with a search. Is this deliberate? Pretty odd - why have your initials then your name in a Yelp listing." read more

Not many options for bars with food in Forks so we tried this place. It's OK. - Fish and chips (breaded cod on the menu): not bad but bland. Fat curly fries are too fat, gimmicky; not a good substitute for regular-cut fries. Coleslaw is weak. - Service was slow; only one server working the tables. Bar service slow too. - Small town bar and grill ambiance. Not too loud. - Menu is fairly standard; vegetarian options limited. read more

Had to wait a long time to be served, ended up getting another server's attention. Ordered the "caprese" burger which was basically just a regular burger covered in balsamic dressing, not tasty at all, seemed to be no sun dried tomatoes or pesto. Was not asked how I would like it cooked, and it came extremely rare. Was also served the wrong soft drink. The fries were good! read more

GET THE WINGS Great drinks. Good owners. Food is the best in town!!!!!!!!! By far. Service may not come with an over the top smile- but the employees are good local people working hard to serve delicious food. For quick service walk in straight and order at the bar!!! Just get the wings!!! Great wings!!!!!!!! Best mozzarella sticks you'll ever have!!!!! Great fries!!! read more

This was my first time at Blakeslee's. It's a small town bar and grill with a divey atmosphere offering billiards and a full bar. The caprese burger is to DIE for! I was intrigued by this Italian-American fusion. The burger was juicy, the balsamic tomatoes were perfectly bright and citrusy. The staff were so kind, patient, and let us feel like we all belonged. Great spot to go kick back! As of August 2025, Blakeslee's is 21+ after 3 PM. read more

Came here on a whim bc we were starving the day we drove into Forks. Coincidentally, we stayed in the tiny house resort right across the street from this place. You had to show ID after 3 PM. The food was delicious, exactly what you'd expect from a diner. We had an assortment of appetizers, which included french fries and gravy, wings, salads, onion rings. All were delicious! We also ordered several of their burgers and a chicken sandwich. Be sure to get their fries because they cut them special and they were incredible. Good service, good location, pricing was decent, and overall we enjoyed the food. If you're staying in the tiny homes resort across the street, you'll be happy to know you could just walk across the street from there. Also, they have a huge good parking lot! read more

We were visiting Forks for a couple of days so we tried this little gem. Both my husband and I were impressed with both the food and the service. The next night when we were trying to figure out our options for dinner, I recommended that we return for a second night and the food was fantastic. Trying to remember the proper names of things. Night 1 I had a burger and fries, my husband had a balsamic onion burger Night 2 Artichoke dip Fish and Chips Ruben sandwich. read more

it's fine for what it is. my fiancé and i both got burgers. they were cooked nice, but wicked greasy. he got the elk burger, and he said it was amazing. we also got an order of 4 chicken wings- it was 13$! that's just crazy. the service was extremely slow, and the place is small. the food took a very very long time to come out. we are just passing through, so we won't be back. but if you do come here, be prepared to wait. read more

My boyfriend and I had arrived at the Hoh Rain Forest at 9 and hiked until just past lunchtime. It was a long drive back to our hotel in Port Angeles so we decided to take a chance and stop for lunch in Forks. There aren't many options and when we pulled up here, I wasn't quite sure what to expect. At around 2:30 on a Wednesday afternoon there were a fair number of tables seated. Our server was lovely-very warm and friendly and kept the refills coming. I got the veggie wrap (all fresh chopped veggies with pesto mayo. It came with large seasoned curly fries which were really good. I was super hungry from a day of hiking and that lunch really hit the spot. The interior was clean and had the bar area in the back, tables for dining up front. It doesn't look like much from the outside but it was definitely a good lunch and seemed to be quite popular. read more

We stopped by with our party when there were clearly tables available for us, but the staff flat-out refused to seat us. Instead of offering a reasonable explanation, they gave us attitude and insisted we should have made a reservation--a flimsy excuse that felt more like an attempt to push us out than anything else. What made it worse was that we were willing to wait, yet they never suggested how long it might take or made any effort to accommodate us. they simply didn't want us there. In a city where most restaurants are fairly similar in quality (mediocre), there's no reason to settle for a place that treats guests this way. I'd recommend considering other options before risking an experience like this--especially if you're not one of "them" read more

This place gets five stars for being the only restaurant in Forks that will serve food on Friday and Saturdays at or after 9pm. Pacific pizza turned us away at 845 despite claiming they are open until 10. The food. Its standard comfort food. Nothing special. Our medium burgers will absolutely cooked to well done status, and our cheesy pretzel bites were very interesting but surprisingly good. The customers. This is another reason why the five stars. Most are intoxicated, some are a little weird, but man they got heart. My new wife and I were just married on first beach and we needed a place to eat. We came in wedding dress, suit and all, and the people that congratulated us, had some memorable advice, compliments and one kind gentlemen bought our table a round. Would come here again just hoping to see the same customers and buy them drinks in return for truly making our special night even more special. read more

Visit this restaurant if you appreciate snarky servers and if you're ready to wait for a ridiculous amount of time for your food. We recently came here for dinner (with an online reservation that is clearly a joke.). We were seated immediately but wait several minutes for drinks, then waited over an hour for our food items. Our server was ridiculously condescending when asked about the timing for our order, then ghosted our table to fill in for the bartender before we had our food. Other staff brought our food order to the table. One of our meals (a salad) arrived ten minutes after all of the other food. Our server only came back to check if we needed anything 10 minutes after we were done. We were charged extra for items that were never received, and also charged a mandatory fee for tip....which I would've omitted completely. Seriously, the food tasted pretty good, but the server (Riyan) was, by far, the worst we have ever had. No apologies for the wait...no excuses. This was one of the worst dining experiences I have ever encountered. read more

Small town food, small town friendly!! We had lunch there, really delicious burger (Lil Joe) w the works, split with crazy good curlicue fries like we've never seen. Returned the next day for lunch again after hiking, big Caesar shrimp salad w nice sized shrimp, not those little puny bay things. But Kayla (owner) and Kelly (waiter) were hysterical! So fun and so friendly, even when the place was packed. Don't know why people whining about time to get food, we only had two swigs of our drinks before HOT food on our table. And great selection of draft beers. Don't judge a book by its cover in this instance! read more

Great burgers and the server was really nice, full of advice for our trip down the PCH. Highly recommend!

Food was really great, better than expected. Got the burger. Service was wonderful, our server was very sweet. Very positive experience would come back. read more

Our server was upbeat and friendly. The kitchen was backed up. He kept circling back to check on us and was often entertaining. We were a group of 6. The restaurant allowed for conversation without shouting. A variety of ales and ciders were enjoyed. I had the best Reuben sandwich I have had. It came with in house chips. I enjoyed both and had enough to enjoy another meal later. All in all it was a great experience. Clean restrooms conveniently located. The restaurant was carding everyone. Since I haven't been carded for decades that was sort of a kick. read more

Great atmosphere and good food. The French dip sandwich was tasty. We enjoyed our meal here!

My friend and I were road-tripping through Olympic National Park and we were starving and wanted a good burger. I found this place on Yelp and we decided to check it out. It was really crowded but we got seated within 30 minutes. Even though they were super busy, the server was great at getting our needs met. Honestly, I'm not sure if it was because I was so hungry, but it was seriously one really good burger!! I customized mine and asked for jalapeño poppers and a change of cheese, but it was extremely satisfying. If I lived in the area, this would for sure be a go-to place on a regular basis. If you're stopping through forks, this is a must stop for good food! Next time I'm in the area, I will be stopping by! read more

Blakeslee's Bar & Grill - Customized burger with jalapeño poppers, grilled mushrooms, bacon, and pepper jack cheese. - Bars Near Me - Forks, Washington

Really the only sports bar in forks. Ordered a chicken Caesar wrap which apparently means something completely different here. It was Crispy chicken, lettuce, tomato's, and Caesar dressing. Not great. Got a side of the chowder which was honestly the worst chowder I have ever had. For being so close to the coast and not being a picky eater I had two bites and it was a wrap. Tasted like bland hot heavy cream. No seasoning or flavor whatsoever, I gave up after adding salt and hot sauce. Service was good and so were the drinks. Don't get your hopes up for food, go for regular bar food. read more

The food was beyond disappointing The "famous" burger was beyond over cooked and they did not even put the "special" sauce on it. French fries were cold and the bottles of condiments at the table were empty. We had to steal from other tables because our server was running around everywhere Never got a refill on water and when one person asked for a straw the server brought an unwrapped straw and put it in the glass. Very gross. Your unwashed hands on the straw now in the water. And where was that straw sitting unwrapped ? Place has potential but needs so much work !! read more

This is one of the places open till late night in the area. We didn't realize it's a bar/pub and they don't allow kids inside (good thing). So the person at the gate advised us to order and can pickup to go. The portions are enormous, the food taste really good. They had huge parking outside and inside they had pool tables and great bar setting. It seems like a fun place. read more

Amazing friend chicken burger. Mill creek burger was also extremely good. One of the only few places which is open if you are coming back into townn late after a hike. Also had solid pesceterian options with fried cod and shrimp (the fish isnt beer battered and everything is friend in vegetable oils) The staff was also super super nice. We went a little late close to the closing time, but they were still kind enough to accommodate us. read more

For what they are, a roadside bar and grill, and where they are located, in rural Forks, this place does a great job of providing a pleasant dining experience. NOTE: this place is 21+ only and they did check for IDs and turn away youngsters. We picked this restaurant out of all the recommendations for Forks and I think the recommendations shine true. I got a veggie burger and my fiancé got an elk burger (his first time having elk!). The veggie burger was PHENOMENAL! It was homemade with black beans and corn (my favorite style!). It was so pleasant to see quality ingredients in a rural restaurant. And I have the mention their fries. SOOO GOOOD. I think the best way to describe them is crispy and thick potato curls. It's like a better steak fry. Unfortunately we had a little mix up at the beginning and our table got lost between the two servers, but they comp'ed our drinks and were so kind and concerned with the mix up. Either way, the food was worth the wait, and we were able to watch the ice hockey and baseball games on the TVs. If we really wanted to we could have played some pool as well. read more

The restaurant's website states that it's open to families until 10 pm. Once you arrive, they tell you babies are not permitted after 3 pm.

SERVICE:5 FOOD QUALITY:4 DRINK QUALITY:N/A ORDER TIME:5 AESTHETICS:3 NOISE LEVEL:4 MENU SELECTION:5 OVERALL EXPERIENCE: 4.33 Stayed in town for the evening after hiking in Olympic national park all day. This happened to be the only restaurant that stays open late night. So we decided to take a chance. We were greeted with a smile and a table. The service was superb. Aesthetically it wasn't anything special, and just a pub style decor. This place is clearly a popular spot to have drinks in the evening due to amount of intoxicated people talking overly loud. Was nice to see people enjoying life during a pandemic leaving most in a state of depression. I wound up ordering the Asian chicken salad, and cheese fries. Both were very good. Not the type of restaurant that prides itself in quality and presentation, but it tasted amazing non the less. Even though I only had water, it did appear that they had a pretty good beer selection. Overall this place was exactly what we needed after a long day of hiking in the rain. A clean, warm, and casual restaurant with smiling faces and everyone having fun. read more
