There's always a place for an old school diner and Lynden is that place and Fairway Cafe is…read moredefinitely old school. The restaurant was impeccably clean and nicely decorated although a bit dated. Service was fast and friendly although my request for ranch dressing for my fries somehow got translated to tartar sauce... I wasn't upset though because I also like tartar sauce on my fries. The food was fine, a Clubhouse sandwich and a Rueben. The Rueben could have used more corned beef and less sauerkraut in my opinion. Both had huge piles of fries. I think instead of so many fries they could give the plate a nice crunchy pickle. The Clubhouse was very large but again the meat portions were lacking. No real complaints, only a couple suggestions. I think we'll be back. There are more items on the menu that we want to try.

The menus is large with sandwiches, soup, fish & chips, salads and great looking burgers. We stopped in between lunch and dinner so it was quiet and we were seated right away. This place had the largest breaded shrimp I think I've seen anywhere. They were very good. Had a BLT and a toasted turkey melt that was so good. It's a go to stop anytime we are in Lynden. Good food, great staff.

Well, as much as hate giving bad reviews, this evenings meal at Rustlers was a big disappointment…read more Granted we did eat later than we generally do but that shouldn't affect the quality of the food. The Waite staff is fine and friendly, no issues there. The problem is the meal. The salads were fresh and really good. I ordered the teriyaki steak and my wife got the short ribs. Both of us got loaded potatoes and the veggies. Veggies were hot but like mush. I'm guessing Birds Eye frozen from a bag. No bueno. The loaded potatoes were lukewarm. The terryaki state was okay since you can hide flavors with the sauce. My wife's plate only varied with her choice of ribs that were done but dry. Overall it was quite underwhelming. I've been here many times (breakfast mostly) and before when it was Dutch mothers. Hate to say it, but it was poorly executed and a dismal experience. Sorry, rustlers, ya need to improve.

Note that they do serve tater tots after 4, but you have to specify when you're ordering, otherwise it's just kettle cooked chips (which were also good). There's a self-serve fountain drink station, and a separate tap for water, as well as a fridge of bottled drinks. The staff was friendly and there's plenty of seating, including an upstairs seating area. I loved looking around the adjoining bookstore before deciding on my food. The tables and seats were rustic, in a comforting old fashioned way.

A local favorite, a little bit off the beaten path, but worse looking for it. Very friendly and timely service, really good food, and a great menu that everybody will find something on that they like. If you're vegan, that last comment may be inaccurate ;-). You gotta try the milkshakes, this reminds me of what I was used to growing up at some of the great family restaurants in the 1970s. Outstanding! The interior of the restaurant is decorated with an eclectic Western theme and your eyes will never get tired of looking for all the details. Our granddaughter loved it! And so did the grandparents and my dad. We'll be back.

It turned out as we expected, but we optimistically hoped for more…read more I had the prime rib, which I had been craving. It was okay, but not something I'd order again. The horse radish was pretty generic and didn't have any "punch" to it. The Caesar salad lettuce was a bit wilted and too much dressing. The loaded baked potato was okay. My son enjoyed his clam chowder. The pot pie was rather small for $20! It was not enjoyed. Unfortunately, a frozen Marie Calendars is better. Two people ordered this and didn't eat them all. Salad bar is pretty underwhelming. The star here is the peanut butter chocolate shake! Yum! Service was attentive and friendly. Parking: Quite a few spots that go all the way around the building, but was a bit full on a Friday night.

We visited around 5:00 PM, and the restaurant wasn't very busy. It took a few minutes to be seated,…read morewhich wasn't a big issue, but the service problems started right after. After being seated, our waitress greeted us briefly and then disappeared. It took about 20 minutes to place our order because she never came back to the table. She didn't appear busy or overwhelmed--most of the time, she seemed to be in the kitchen. When she eventually returned, she brought our drinks and, later, our plates, but the plates were dirty and still had food on them. She set them down and walked away without noticing or addressing them. Once our food arrived, it was actually good, which was the one positive part of the experience. However, she never checked on us--not once--to see if we needed anything. At the end of the meal, she brought the card machine so we could pay and then walked away again without returning. We also asked for a to-go box, which never came. We eventually had to go to the bar and ask another staff member for one ourselves before leaving. Overall, the food was fine, but the service was consistently inattentive and frustrating from start to finish. Given that the restaurant wasn't busy, this was disappointing, and I hope they improve their level of service.

We arrived 10 minutes early and the hostess said we wouldn't get acknowledged til the exact time of our reservation but we would be seated..I looked around and there was only 3 other tables..not busy at all it was a weird encounter right out the gate, which made us nervous about the rest of our experience. We sat awkwardly in the quiet a restaurant for the 10 whole minutes. Then our server created us he was bubbly and knowledgeable honestly the 3 stars are more for him doing a great job. The food was OK the burger my husband really liked it was giant, my seabass was a little under cooked, but I was able to get the garlic herb butter on it instaid of the mandarin sauce which I was thankful about. All in all it was OK nothing to rave about and I still think about the hostess awkwardness upon arrival

I had ordered cinnamon rolls from here before and they were amazing. I also purchased a couple hot…read morechocolate packets for stocking stuffer and they were good. Today I stopped in and got a breakfast (Farmers) hand pie, an Irish cream coffee, and a white chocolate raspberry scone. I'm so disappointed. The handpie was not even half filled, the very nice young lady nuked it in the microwave to an inch of its life. It was dry, hard as a rock and the small amount of filling was not worth the price. I only ate half as the crust was too hard to bite into. So then still hungry I tried the scone. Even worse. A glutinous blob of no flavor. The size and texture of a hockey puck. I realized too late the the bottom was also burnt. I threw it away. The coffee was ok, but way overly sweet. I wish so bad I could give good stars but I spent $23 and all I got was a mildly ok coffee.
