The food was pretty good. The portions were large and featured a lot of options for any type of person, allowing a lot of leftovers for the family or for a trip. The flavors were a bit lacking, but that tends to be standard with American breakfast places. The service was fine and the place was busy, but it was low-level noise and a slower environment. I got one of the skillets and it came doused in gravy which I hate but it was not on the menu that it would come like that, and I'd never had one presented like that. Underneath that pile of gravy was a good skillet though. read more

It was a very warm and cozy environment. Seems like a bunch of regulars go there which is a good sign. Ordered the banana pie which was good-the crust was rock hard tho so that's my only feedback. Otherwise, a lovely diner that I'll be happy to visit again. read more

I have had disappointments with the restaurant in the past but I like to give second chances. This last visit was amazing, great service and the chicken fried steak was the best I ever had. Thank you for a great meal read more

The service was wonderful but the food ... yuck! Even the water tasted terrible . Then we moved on to the clam chowder soup which tasted like flour . We couldn't even eat it . Then we had what they called chicken fried steak . The steak was so thin it seemed as though it was nothing but batter and some fat in between . I've had a good burger there so thought that we would try it again . Bad idea ! I saw other reviews about how bad the clam chowder is and I can see they haven't done anything to change the recipe . It's too bad because we would like to see the Fairmont Diner succeed. It was a very disappointing $65 dinner! ​ read more

Small historical shop. Friendly waitresses but the food delivery is really slow. Seems like they only have one chef the day we visited. Looks like a local favorite place. Food is tasty. read more

This isn't our first visit to the Fairmount. We've popped in before during trips to salt creek campground or along the West Coast. This time we were on our way for an inaugural trip with our new little trailer. Hadn't had any breakfast in our eagerness to get out so we dropped in for a late one here. Had the Western Scramble special to share but also ordered the fries. Our dog loves fries as a road snack, but we are big fans too, dipped in tartar. While it seemed like the side of fries was expensive, it turned out to be a pretty large portion. We ate a bunch before tucking into our Scramble which was pretty tasty. The servers are super nice and constantly hopping. You can tell there are a lot of regulars that come in because a lot of them are greeted by name. As I said at the beginning, this was not our first visit and certainly won't be the last. Can't wait for the next road trip!! read more

I ordered some pancakes online while I was at work, I put a little note asking for extra syrup because I wouldn't be able to get any extra myself if there wasn't any. The staff went above and beyond! They gave me exactly what I asked for and more! They even wrote a little note too wishing me a good day:) 10/10 made my day! read more

Fairmount Restaurant - Ham, bacon and cheddar omelette with house potatoes - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Port Angeles, Washington

My son enjoyed his food, he got a burger and fries, it looked good. I believe he got the kids menu and it looked like adult sized meal. I believe he even got more fries than me and I ordered the fish and chips. But I was still satisfied with the portion sizes of mine. The only thing, which I did get the fish and chips deal which was significantly cheaper, I wanna say it was like $10 anyway the fish wasn't all that it didn't taste fresh, but it was decent, and better than a couple other places for fish and chips in the area. So I'd say I got what I paid for. It was pretty good, the workers were nice. It's a cute little place, I've passed it many times, but we finally stopped and it was decent. I would probably get something else next time, but overall, it was pretty good. read more

The wait staff is excellent. The food is overpriced slop dangerously gross..How many years they been open and there cooks still can't cook egg. Chef school 101 how to cook an egg.. Eggs at the Fairmount are either runny half raw, or burnt..All the years I've been going to this place they still haven't learned how to cook eggs correctly..if you go to this restaurant eat somewhere else first..Stick to coffee, water, soda pop. Don't eat the food...I'll try to include a picture of my plate. Food id never feed any dog I wanted to live and liked..Your taking , Your health and safety in jeopardy eatin there...Gross overpriced pig slop., read more

Best Burger's in Town ... Thursday Special ... Buy one burger get the other one half off! Tasty Variety's to choose from... Back in the day taste when burger's were served hot with French fries, absolutely delicious and filling! read more

why I won't be returning to your restaurant. On my last visit, I overheard your waitstaff, an older woman verbally tearing down a young woman who, ironically, was the only employee who ever made the place feel welcoming. She was the one bright spot in an otherwise disengaged team, and hearing her treated that way was uncomfortable and unprofessional. The rest of the staff come across as indifferent at best, and the dynamic felt more like jealousy and hostility than teamwork. It was unpleasant to witness, and it reflects poorly on the management culture. The food alone isn't strong enough to keep customers coming back, so the way staff treat each other matters. Based on what I saw, I won't be returning. read more

Good was great and a lot. Service was excellent . Easy to find on highway 101 right outside of town.

Great throwback to the classic diners. Burger and fries were excellent. Going to have to give one of their pie slices (HUGE) and milkshakes a try next time I'm there. read more

We were visiting town after not being able to eat here in 5 years, Service was still fantastic and food has always been great. It is the most welcoming and cute little diner to stop by if you are going out to the lake my family highly recommend giving them a shot. read more

I order breakfast here at least 3 Sundays every month. Been doing it for a few years now. Just recently my orders have been coming up missing items. Like eggs or bacon. This is real simple orders 3 or 4 thing and one is missing. Make sure to check your order. The food here isn't good enough to be ok with missing items. read more

Eating at this restaurant is like opening cans of food and ripping open bags of frozen foods. And then paying for somebody to do it. They do know how to fry eggs and do potatoes. But that's about it. read more

Speeding past for years, this lil roadside circular-shaped blue diner is worth a stop! Full wait service diner. They have both indoor and outdoor seating for summer days. Inside the diner section is cute old school booths and a counter seating the other seating is larger tables for groups. The menu is extensive breakfast options and lunch dinner burgers and lots of fried seafood options. The halibut fish and steak fries are on point! Loved the light mayo/vinegar style homemade slaw as well as the excellent homemade tarter sause, with lil pickles and perfectly done. They have s beer cooler now where you can choose from a variety of bottled beers to go with your lunch. We definitely will be back for the oyster combo platters and fish that is done perfectly, not greasy, fish is still moist under that crunch, yum! read more

We stopped at this place on our way to lake crescent. We ordered a bacon cheeseburger with a side of steak fries and grilled chicken sandwich with side salad. The burger was cooked fine and my wife loved her chicken sandwich. The chicken was juicy and the lettuce and tomatoes on both our dishes were very fresh. I personally hate steak fries but this place served good ones. They were crispy and not too thick. The ambience is just like any other diner and I loved it. Not pretentious at all. However, the silverware could be much much cleaner. read more

This place is fantastic. The staff are very friendly and the food is outstanding. Pricing is fair - and portions are perfect. Highly recommend this diner. read more

I had the clam chowder. It was a weird tannish brown color. It wasn't white or cream color. Not sure if any cream was in it. Tasted like a very thin mashed potatoes married potato soup with a few pieces of clam thrown in. The garlic bread was OK. Nothing special. Spent 15+ on food I couldn't eat. read more

Only 3 stars because it's not that great, but it's cheap and the service is fairly quick. Place is not quite clean, but not filthy. The wait staff was polite, but inexperienced...had to repeat requests for water, coffee condiments. The decor is drab and tired. But, cheap and edible food is always better than any fast food chain. read more

Great service but the worst Ruben we have ever had. Soggy bread, hardly any sauerkraut and tough, grissy meat. We could not even taste any thousand Island dressing. Hopefully the other food is better. read more

We visited Fairmount during a vacation to Port Angeles and were thrilled with the food and service. It felt like a trip back in time to an old school diner. It was full of locals and made us feel part of the community for an hour. The food was quality comfort food and the service was great. Good value for the money. read more

This place has been around for years. That's where we decided to go and so glad we did. The Crabhouse in Port Angeles should come by and take lessons. Our breakfast was delicious and our server was excellent. There was so much food on our plates that we couldn't eat it all. I guess there isn't much to say because I have nothing to complain about. It's one of those perfect meals that we were so happy to have. read more

On the way to Sol Duc springs passed by here and a fair amount of cars I figured that this might be a good place to stop on my way back to Seattle I did and grabbed a seat and went with the chicken fried steak and mashed potatoes Soup came with and clam chowder on offer so that was my pick there. Soup was great flavor and actually a lot of clams. Maybe a bit on the thick side and really filled me up. The chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes and a tasty cream gravy and also a side of mixed steam veggies Tons of food and all most excellent. Way more than I could eat so a to go box for another meal Waitress was super nice and asked if I wanted water and brought with full cup of ice like I desire Fairmont proved to be a great stop if traveling US 101 on the Olympic Park circuit I will stop again if in area Jim at Maplelag in Minnesota read more

Pretty average diner food. Not bad, not great, but it gets at the job done. We've been a few times and it's consistently solid.

This was absolutely fantastic food. The service was prompt and friendly . The establishment was clean and the price was fair. This is one of the best restaurants in Port Angeles. read more

K so summer is officially here and you wanna take a drive to the ocean and stop at the best little diner ever. Let me help you out. Go to Sequim WA and stay on the 101 out to Crescent Bay to see the Ocean and then stop at the Fairmont Restaurant for an extra delicious Breakfast lunch or dinner. This place has Awesome Food and it has the feel of the old school diner. I snapped a few pictures of the perfect ice cold Lemonade. Had the best crispy on the outside yummy on the inside waffle with strawberries and whip cream. The prices aren't bad. It makes you feel like your on Vacation. The service is as good as the food. Kind attentive waitress Kylie let us sit at the table outside with our lil pup. I won't be able to do a beach run without stopping here next time. Loved it. read more

Perfect quintessential small town diner. The food and service are excellent, and it's a cozy, friendly local vibe. You can tell this place is a lot of peoples' regular spot in the area for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I particularly recommend the huevos rancheros and the pumpkin pancakes. read more

Absolutely terrible service. The waitress abandoned us after seating until another couple were seated. She asked them if they wanted water, hey what about us? She finally took our order but forgot to bring a drink. Then got an order wrong. Of course this is only our experience, others may be better. I would overlook it if the food was good, but it was mediocre at best. I will not be back. read more

Food is good and plentiful, the service is great. The clam chowder was great. Sandwiches are of a good size and very tasty.

No lie - we almost didn't come here because we saw that it had a 3.6 star review, but BOY is that inaccurate. I stopped here with a group of pals post backpacking and this establishment gave us exactly what we wanted....lots of food covered in gravy and friendly,fast service. The cute diner ambiance was also a plus. If you're near Port Angeles and want a delicious meal I highly recommend this joint! read more

I love love love this place everyone is always so sweet and the food is sooooo good absolutely amazing and perfect every time

Typical diner. No frills. Average breakfast. Can't really go wrong. The toast and sausage were surprisingly tasty.

The customer service fantastic! Friendly staff who were very attentive and joyful. This appears to be a popular place as there were plenty of cars in the parking lot and customers at most tables. Our experience with the food was basic. The food was bland and most everything seemed to taste similar. read more
