In my opinion, they have the best burger in town at any price. And it's cheaper than many pub burgers you'll find. I think the house made bun makes all the difference. Everything else I've tried is also great. Other than bringing you the food after ordering at the counter, there is no service. No complaints about that. read more

We were visiting family in the area and stopped here for dinner on a Friday evening at 6:15. The restaurant wasn't very busy, a few tables open. They are set up with a quick service counter order style. The gentleman at the counter was friendly. They offer a few beers, I chose a scotch ale which was tasty. The fish and chips and fries are gluten free which is great as we had two celiacs in our party. The fish was decent but the fries were soggy and swimming in oil. read more

I ordered the steak carne asada tacos this evening, and they must have run out of steak in the kitchen because one of my two tacos was made with burger meat-- it was quite obvious that someone had broken up a pre-made patty and cooked it in place of the strip steak. Some transparency would have been nice, because I would have chosen to swap out the tacos with another similarly priced item had I known. It was a fine meal, and I dumped the burger out onto the fries and ate them together with some ketchup, but it was not what I was expecting when I ordered steak tacos. You can't just switch out steak with ground beef and expect the customer to not notice. read more

Walk up ordering with a good selection! The food was good, I really enjoyed the fish tacos and love to see gluten free options! Fries are my favorite and these were very good, perfectly crispy. L said the burger wasn't mind-blowing but tasted good! Service was fine and the vibe was walk-up to order, sit down to eat, not a hang out kind of place. read more

We happened to be in Bellingham, so saw some good reviews of this place. It did not disappoint! Really good GF fish and chips, done in a dedicated GF fryer, with a side roulade sauce that was a wonderful accompaniment! The fish were crispy breaded sticks from top quality cod, possibly sourced a 1/4 mile away in the harbour! Staff were very aware of GF needs, and the menu was clearly marked. Great to have a tasty meal with the confidence that you will be safe! read more

Brandywine has become a solid favorite when I'm visiting Bham and looking for a quick, tasty dinner (with a beer of course). They always have good sandwiches on the menu, along with a decent tap list so I can enjoy a cold beer, too. The atmosphere is super casual, with ordering being done at their walk-up counter and self-seating. They can definitely get busy, especially on weekends or when a special event is in town, so plan accordingly. I also recently got to check out their upstairs area, which can be rented out for meetings or parties - great to know this option is available in a town which never seems to have enough meeting spaces. read more

The menu has a great selection, salads, tacos, burger. Hand cut fries, house made soup. Very casual place to meet up and enjoy a meal. The Triple T burger with beets very tasty! The red lentils soup flavorful. Prices prices were the going rate for eating out these days. Quality and pride definitely part of the creating and producing the food. read more

Grood service and food. It's a busy spot so food takes a bit longer. Order at the counter and buss your own tables. Great chimichurri steak tacos, fish tacos looked good too. Bahn Mi bowl was good but a bit dry. Although the restaurant was full of people it was not overly noisy, which is a surprise for a wide open space with all hard surfaces. We'd come here again, especially convenient walking distance to Mount Baker Theatre. read more

How I heard of this place: On a visit to Bellingham back in December of 2018, my sister and her family invited us to enjoy a meal together at Brandywine Kitchen, one of their favorite, family friendly (everyone can find something to enjoy) establishments in town. Type of cuisine: "In 2002, Azizi Tookas and Chris Sunde began with the idea to incorporate cuisine and local farming into one. Brandywine Kitchen is the culmination of their passion for food and sustainable agriculture. Brandywine first began as an heirloom tomato farm and has grown its niche to include a diversity of produce. In 2008 Brandywine Gardens expanded into the prepared food business as Brandywine Kitchen. The result of this process is that Brandywine Kitchen can offer sustainable food that is locally based, delicious, and affordable. From seed to plate... From seed to plate is a motto that encompasses both our history as food producers and our belief that understanding and supporting local food systems, leads to a superior product. In addition to growing a small amount of heirloom tomatoes for the restaurant, we source local produce and other local products, allowing us to use the freshest ingredients possible, make personal relationships with local producers, and keep money circulating within the Bellingham community." Ambiance: A cool setting with exposed brick walls, rustic appeal in a large, spacious room where diners are invited to sit at large tables (also available outside). What I ordered: The Brandywine Burger, Fish & Chips, and a creamy Broccoli Soup beside an order of Mac & Cheese. What I loved: The crisp-ness of the fish, the excellet fries, the juicy and flavorful burger and the creaminess of the soup alongside a hearty bowl of mac & cheese. Why I loved it: Their concept is truly worth if not to mention the delicious food and easy-going atmosphere. Cost: Average ($10.50 - $13.50 per sandwich/burger or meal). read more

$30 + tip for two sodas, fish and chips (happy hour "special" for $12!) and kids chicken fingers. Service: they took my order at the counter and delivered my food to my table. That's it. Had to bus my own table after giving them a 20% tip. Food: Fish was rubbery and the fries were meh. No ice in the ice machine. Ambiance: interior was ok but could definitely be improved. Won't. Be. Back. read more

Stopped in here for lunch on our way to Canada and I am so glad we did. The restaurant had a wonderful atmosphere and just felt relaxing. It was clean and the set up to grab napkins and silverware as well as to bus your plates was very well done. I ordered the Brandywine hamburger and my husband had a Philly cheesesteak. The burger was absolutely delicious. The burger was juicy and well cooked, the sauce and toppings were in the right proportions, and the bun was toasty and so delicious. I spent the dollar to get the basil aioli for my fries and it was so very worth the cost. The fries were well cooked, crispy, not greasy, and salted perfectly. My husband's cheesesteak was well made with the cheese bubbly after being in the broiler for a bit so it just started to brown a little. He said it was very good. I wish we lived closer so we could go back more often, but happy to have enjoyed our meal there! read more

This was one of our go-to spots 8 years ago. Came in today hoping nothing changed, but disappointed. Got the brandywine burger and it looked the same minus regular raw red onions verses pickled ones like they use to have. Then the flavor of the meat was even more disappointing. It took me a minute to figure out what was off with it and then I realized the meat taste reheated. To me beef has a distinct flavor when it's been cooked and later reheated. Anyways yeah disappointing. The fries were still great though. read more

No service at all ! We went to Brandywine kitchen today and the staff totally ignored me my husband and son while we waited at the cash register for good 5 min without being addressed at all ! No " we'll be right with you or give us a minute " nothing ! They were not busy at all they only had the tables outside with customers but inside was empty just the 3 of us waiting . We finally left . read more

Food is great! Gluten free options, even fish and chips!! Black owned business! Support local business!

We ate here on a Sunday at noon- it wasnt busy at all which I thought was strange considering how pleasant the restaurant and staff was. Had the BLT which was great and a cup of Indian lentil soup. Both were very fresh and tasty. I would eat here again when in Bellingham. Convenient parking ramp across the street! read more

We have been coming here for years. The happy hour menu is excellent and the space is low key and relaxed. Wonderful food as well. We've had the burger, happy hour fish & chips, happy hour Mac & Cheese. The happy hour drink price for either a draft beer or glass of wine is $5, which is excellent. read more

Very nice space with tall ceilings and windows, light and airy atmosphere. The lack of table service takes it down a notch. Food is solidly in the "OK, I guess" camp. It would be a great place to eat and drink and hang out with friends on a rainy day. Dropped from three stars to two, as I got sick from the rancid salad oil that I ate. read more

I've been wanting to try this place for the longest time and finally went there for dinner before THE HU concert. I ordered the "Rocket" BLT and was disappointed. The bread was fantastic, the bacon meh, the maple-tomato relish was barely existent, maybe a quarter of a teaspoon smidge, the avocado was even more sparse and I found no aioli whatsoever. My husband had the Chimichurri Steak Tacos and he reported that they had no flavor. Suffice to say, we won't be going back. The 2 stars are for the delightful ambiance and decor. read more

We had a wonderful lunch at Brandywine Kitchen! You order at a counter and the food is brought out. We found a table outside which was great. I ordered the fish and chips and was super happy with that decision. The fries were wonderful and plentiful! I think when order it again, I would order the kids portion with 2 fish strips vs 3 for the adult order. I loved the food and service. I would highly recommend this spot! read more

Nice spot. The food was very tasty seemed fresh. Would have liked the fish tacos to be warmer, but a minor detail in otherwise delicious food. read more

The wait can be long but the food is great. Great panko crusted fish and chips. (Gluten free) highly recommend.

Came to an Irish bar called Uisce which was cool and asked the lady for Fish and Chips recommendations since I was with my British companion checking out Bellingham. The lady at the bar recommended this place (Brandywine) that was next door as they would deliver to our table... The Brit said the chips were "absolute rubbish, as the oil they used either had not been changed in a while or they just straight over cooked them. It's such a simple part of the dish and I am shocked that this is what America is serving as our traditional cuisine"... The lady behind the bar went next door to ask why such bad looking chips as she was generating them business and apparently the response "That is just how they look"... read more

Their fry process is the entire reason to go here. It's a long process, but it really pays off in the quality. Just don't forget to order some basil aioli! Glad they aren't using a panini press for the Apple chicken anymore. It's much better they way it is currently served. read more

Brandywine is a bit pricey... but I keep coming back anyways. Their portions are not large for the price. BUT they are always delicious and we can finish our meals without needing to take home left overs. My go to is always the French dip with the indian lentil soup. The soup doesnt really compliment this sandwich, but it's delicious so who cares. The french dip has perfectly tender meat and the au jus is AMAZING. It's also topped with a glorious amount of cheese... yum. Place fills up quickly during dinner rush but plenty of seats upstairs. Or come during lunch when it isnt so busy. Order at the counter. Bus your own tables. read more

Great place in Bellingham for some amazing hand crafted and delicious food and drinks. We enjoyed it so much we went back two days in a row. Great food: had the salmon cakes with a excellent salad, roasted eggplant sandwich with fries and a basil aioli and our daughter had a burger - also looked excellent. They have a relaxed atmosphere and nice outdoor patio seating which we enjoyed. Give it a shot as I think it's well worth it. read more

Looking for a disappointing lunch? Well folks, your in for a treat with this place.. From the outside it looks like a cute little home style eatery. Once you walk in, well.. it starts to show its generic fake side.. This is yet another walk up and order place with a basic menu. Prices are high, $22 for fish and chips plus a sparkling water.. Gotta show your vaccination card, which is par for the course these days.. So, my lunch.. before I could read my second Facebook news article it was in front of me. Oh wait, so I ordered a sparkling water, Pellegrino large bottle. No glass, cup, or trough was offered... Guess I'm drinking it 40oz style.. Now to the plate. 11 or possibly 12 hand cut fries, surely not cooked today was the base of this pile. There were three pieces of fish, shaped like frozen fish-sticks that were obviously hand battered in a factory. With the taste and texture of a Macdonald's MacFish patty.. Side of tarter sauce that had the essence of what you find in the back of a fridge when cleaning it out... Oh, and some coleslaw.. dry and tasteless. Thanks for motivating me to write this review. Biggest waste of $22 with tip I've had in Bellingham lately. read more

Yum yum yum! This place offers a great selection of sandwiches, burgers, and entrees for lunch. It is located off of Commercial Street. Parking is much easier than other downtown locations since they have a covered parking garage across the restaurant. The top floor of the parking garage offers a great panoramic view of downtown Bellingham. I ordered a Banh Mi sandwich for $14. While it is a bit pricey, the food tasted wonderful. You also get a choice of soup or salad along with the main dish. My colleague ordered a crispy chicken sandwich special. That looked delicious as well. read more

Went there yesterday for takeout. The girl was quite curt when I was ordering and didn't mention that the block would be completely shut down for some event (which like okay they're probably busy and she doesn't have to do that, sure) but when we finally got the food, got home, opened the boxes up...they served my burger, chopped up, on a baguette. Like a chopped meat sandwich. I wish they would've said they were out of buns because it was awful and I honestly don't think I'll be going back because of the service/taste which is sad because the Triple B was my "treat myself" meal and I always really liked Brandywine. read more

It's a bummer you closed more than a half hour early Friday night. Your website states you close at 8pm. Maybe adjust the hours if you want to be out at 8pm instead of yelling at a couple and child walking in looking forward to some good food that "We're closed!" at 7:25. Quite disappointing. read more

This was by far the worst food we've had in Bellingham. The fish tacos had zero flavor. The fish was breaded but had no seasoning or salt. The salsa was colorful but had no punch or interest. The tortillas tasted manufactured and store bought. The tofu bang mi similarly lacked all presence and had some weird sweet sauce on it that resembled applesauce. The pickled cabbage reflected only vinegar but nothing else. There were no jalapeños on the bang mi either. The side salad was fresh but lacked personality and flavor. The fries were ok. The space was cool but needs an upgrade on the tables. And I shouldn't have to bus my own table. The service at the ordering counter was good. read more

I was disappointed in what I got for how much I paid. I ordered the French dip ($17) and chose a salad as my side. I have gotten this before but a while ago and it was good that time. There was not much roast beef on my sandwich (which seemed small for the price), and it came with a tiny bowl of au jus, probably about ¼ cup. The side salad was a handful of mixed greens with a large mound of pickled beets and another large mound of pickled radishes which I did not enjoy. As we were with a group, an 18% gratuity was automatically added to our individual bills. This normally wouldn't bother me, but when I'm bussing my own dishes and I order at the counter, why do I need to leave an 18% tip for someone to walk my food out? This was for a group luncheon so I didn't have a say in the location, but if we have to go there again I simply won't order anything; definitely not worth it to me. read more

I always remembered loving the fries here, they never seem to disappoint! Self service, but nice staff and nice seating to have conversation.

If you're looking for a healthy, sustainable filing meal, this is your place. Went here with an empty stomach after a hike, and grabbed some sandwiches to go. COVID friendly, nice staff, and cute interior. Although the prices put me off guard, I really enjoyed the apple jalapeño chicken sandwich! The lentil soup was filling and hearty, great to keep you warm during the winter. They have quality ingredients and locally source their produce which is a bonus. The best way to enjoy their food is to take it over to teddy bear cove and watch the sunset. Adds to the Bellingham experience in my opinion:-) read more
