    A big projector screen. They showed a movie on it for a themed movie night recently!

    Love, love LOVE this bar! Karaoke nights are so fun (we'll see you Saturday night) and the food is great. Atmosphere gets pretty rowdy, in case you're not into that. The mozzarella sticks and chicken strips are fried to perfection. If you stop in make sure to try their signature cocktail, a Katt's Meow‍

    The juiciest Skagit Burger

    I've visited Katts multiple times and each experience has been wonderful. The lady runs this place by herself. She is the captain of the ship. Her bar is about excellent food, solid drink and people. It's a true place for real, raw, community. Katt is a special human. She's one of the good ones who has been through it, and cares. Her passion for making a great product or selling nothing at all is so refreshing. This hamburger she made for me yesterday was a testament of how she does things. No way in heck would she ever place a pre-made beef patty in front of anyone. My burger was so juicy, tasty, dripping and fresh. Absolutely one of the best burgers I've ever had in the Skagit Valley. I highly recommend going and checking out this cute little spot. You will be welcomed like family and fed the same, with love.

    Amazing Nachos!

    Always wonderful service with a smile which is pretty amazing considering it's often a one woman show. Cooking, serving with a smile. I have always had excellent food at each visit! If I could leave 10 stars, I would! Awesome burgers, the best Reubens, and tried a salad before they stop and switch to Fall soup. Salad was amazing too! Every thing I have tried has been good! Katts Way Poutine, Nachos, Sweet Chick of Mine, and not pictured, her wings.

    It's me! Mariooooo!

    Food is wonderful and service always with a smile! Weird Vegan breakfast request? No problem! She offers alternative protein options like Soy Chorizo and Plant Based cheese. Drinks are always tasty! Love Katt! Love the place! Must stop in for yourself. Support local

    Fish tacos special

    Skagit County's best dive bar! I started coming here for karaoke nights on Thursday and it's become my go-to hangout. Casual, friendly, welcoming, inclusive and fun atmosphere with great drink specials and stepped-up bar food done surprisingly well. If you wanna drink in a place that feels like you're surrounded by friends even if you just met, this is the place for you! The owner has managed several restaurants in her previous life and it shows. Try anything with the house-made pork verde sauce or any of the burgers, which are piled high with fresh toppings. They frequently have great food specials as well.

    It's more of a dive bar than a place to eat. Bar food, plywood karaoke stand. Concrete floor a rather dated painting in the wall. Quite a few unused tables just crammed in the corner. I really don't get it. The space has potential but seems the owner really doesn't care. We had the chili dog. It was placed together about as well as the inside of the establishment. Buns were old but so smothered in the concoction called chili you could have poured it in a glass and drink it, the bun that is. The inside looks like an old timer bar full of smoke back in the day. This is not a place for food, I really imagine it sitting around until someone has the nerve to eat it. Nope, a stop for a drink no food and I don't enjoy karaoke.

Relax - this is a small place with a small staff and even smaller kitchen: If you're in a rush, or the impatient type, this ain't it. But if you like to sit a spell and chat with your people as you enjoy friendly, knowledgeable staff (you're likely to be served by the owners themselves), a craft cocktail, relish a lovely meal, then polish it off with one of Jane's amazing desserts (salted caramel brownie à la mode, anyone?), then we'll see you at The Rex, because we will definitely be back! We were a large group (10) on a busy night and Jane and crew handled us beautifully. Our table enjoyed steak salads, the pork tenderloin, the chicken linguine, cod risotto, clam chowder, a Reuben (huge!), and flank steak. Dessert was outstanding - choose from Lopez Island Creamery ice cream (huge scoops), or one of Jane's scratch-baked treats (pies, key lime bars, brownies, cookies, more). The salted caramel brownie à la mode melted in my mouth. It was excellent, you could taste each component - the fudgy brownie, the creamy caramel, the occasional crunch of salt = 10/10, no notes, don't miss it. Great vibe, loved seeing so many familiar faces coming and going, so happy to have The Rex Bistro in the valley.

The patio faces one of the main streets so there was lots of good people watching. I ordered a beer flight and was very satisfied with all four of my selections: Prickly Pear Kolsch - it was creamy and easy to drink, bursting with prickly pear flavor; just the right amount of tart and sweet. Lightly Buzzed Honey Lavender Blonde - my favorite of the flight; it was very hoppy but light and refreshing and well balanced by intense lavender flavor and a smooth honey finish. Get it! You won't regret it. High Five Hefe - lighter/less hazy and more hoppy than most hefes it made for a unique and complimentary beer on my flight. Pommeroys Citra Pale Ale - a perfect West Coast IPA. To eat, my pup got the Lucky Dog hamburger (which the chef pre-cut) and loved it! He chowed down in less than a minute. And I got the Mac & Cheese Burger (sub a veggie patty) with the Garlic Fries. It was a very indulgent meal to say the least. The burger was loaded with so much Mac & Cheese that I couldn't even put the top bun on it and pick it up. lol I had to knife and fork the whole thing which was totally worth it. The Mac is a classic home style recipe (think Stouffers but better). Their fries are shoestring and super crispy and salty. And they loaded those up with an amazing garlic aioli and Parmesan. I got a side of their house-made curry aioli and was obsessed with it. Every fry that didn't have sauce or parm got a dip in that deliciousness and I added it to quite a few of the burger bites too. All in all, a great brewpub that I look forward to returning to in the future!

Our server was Rainey, she was awesome, very attentive, and came to our table right away to take our order. The atmosphere at Temperate Habits is very nice, there is outside seating but we sat inside due to the bright evening sun. Our meals took quite a while to arrive, I think we were at the tail end of the dinner rush and my guess is they have a small kitchen. My classic cheeseburger was about the most generic, predictable, and utterly boring burger I could imagine, and for $17 I would certainly not return for that or the mundane shoestring fries. The burger patty, bun, and fries were all non creative and the there was nothing even the slightest bit unique about my burger, in fact I swear it is the exact same burger that the Skagit River Brewery serves just around the corner. The surprise entree was the Crab and Lobster Tots, now whoever thought that would be good? The plate looked very strange to say the least but I have to say.... this dish was really good! So you'd think if they could create that total mayhem of a dish that they could get far more creative with the burgers and least have a house burger sauce or a higher quality bun for $17, something? I might return to Temperate Habits to have a drink with friends and share some tots, because they give you a large enough portion for four people, but I would certainly look elsewhere for a good burger. 5 stars for atmosphere and service, 1 star for the burger, 4 stars for the tots.

    Well we will start off with the only real issue is the stupid parking and the one way signal. Well…read morehubby ordered the beautiful clubhouse sandwich with chili and I the fish and chips. Now you all know that I am one very picky eater I will be able to identify the best thing or the worst in a bite or two. It is 1:30 on a Thursday afternoon. I had heard they had good fish chips. So I already knew what I was going to be ordering. Hubby was going to order the same thing except a spied clubhouse sandwich, which is really hard to find these days and we just ordered a clubhouse sandwich with chili and we would split the both meals mine and his. Well let me tell you I was kind of regretted offering to split my fish and chips after the first bite. But I quickly snatched a half of his sandwich as he was chowing down on the lovely brisket chili. I knew it had to be extra extraordinary as he didn't even offer the smallest of bites to his wife. He just kept going on about how amazing that chili was. I never did get a bite. I didn't even ask I suppose in hindsight I should've because he informed me three different times. I would come here just for this chili. Now I suppose you all know by now my hubby will eat just about anything. He will rarely ever say something is bad. Hearing him say something is spectacular is just shocking . He informed me that that was the best chili he has eaten outside of New Mexico. I look at him and inform him that the fries are really very good. He looks at me with utter shock like I said the sea is pink with kangaroos swimming in it. He doesn't understand the words coming out of my mouth because I never say them I'm not a FRY girl. In fact I rarely even order fries, but it's fish and chips after all, you gotta do it. Mind you I'm about to take my first bite of this very nice very light very very, very beautiful piece of deep fried fish. I have my lime and squeeze it onto my first fish then dip a lovely piece of fish into the well bodied tartar sauce, and Nirvana absolute pure Nirvana. I am beyond aesthetic that this fish is within a mile of my doctors office. I am thrilled beyond words that it is not oily. It's not greasy. It is not overcooked. It is just perfection. I know that word coming out of my mouth is uncommon. I get that I'm gonna stand behind that fish until I'm dead. It was that good! Let's talk about that sandwich shall we this is Hand cut ham smoked turkey is beautiful the garlic mayo is amazing. The bacon is a little too crisp for me, but the toast is toasted correctly a little too much mayo on center toast but other than that the lettuce has not wilted by some miracle, and it is falling apart halfway through, but you can't expect anything more. Everything that was supposed to be dry was dry. Everything that was supposed to be moist was moist everything it was supposed to be crisp was crisp . There's three pieces of toast trying to hold that whole puppy together. It was an exceptional sandwich, and I finished a half of it, which I never eat that much food in one sitting so Hubby had a piece of fish. We took a piece of fish home. I had a piece of fish he ate the terrific bowl of chili and we both finished our sandwiches. Was it worth the $60? Hell yes all day long will I make it a monthly habit probably not but when I need fish and chips, I don't have to agonize any longer where I can find such Nirvana . Service by the way was great. Our waitress was absolutely friendly and sweet. She was the only one there she was taking way more tables and tending the bar too. Personally she had no business taken care of that many tables and the bar too but she handled it all beautifully and she gave us some advice. We talked about me being a FOOD snot /snob and she gave us a couple of names of restaurants if we were going to be visiting other areas of the PNW. I had admitted that I had not found any edible fish and chips in the Stanwood Camano area. Kristin thank you so very much for everything. We will be bringing our out of town guests to enjoy the great service and outstanding food soon! But next time I will have to just make sure that I get some of that chili for myself since clearly the hubby won't share his. Charming atmosphere and bathroom had both soap and paper towels! Table was clean. Tv was set for fifa and was not too loud at the time of day. The food arrived quickly and everything that was supposed to be hot was hot and everything that was supposed to be cold was cold and there's plenty of napkins and silverware. We didn't have to ask for anything. So it is an easy 5 star food service and atmosphere.

    We waited forever for service, for food, for the check. The waiter said she was the only one on…read morestaff for the whole restaurant. The food was not very creative or very large or very good for the very high prices they are charging.
