3.5. We had time to kill before our ferry boarding so we picked this diner for lunch. Menu by QR…read morescanner is pretty extensive. It's one of those diners frequented by locals and visitors. The town of Anacortes has a population 17K+ the inside of the diner is full of world globes like the kind you see in grammar school. The owner collects them. There's one bathroom which is a good size but you have to wait in line and look at all the posters of performers and shows that's come to the area. I ordered the Dad's smash burger. Hubby thought his fried chicken burger was moist. My smashed beef patty was good as well as the bun. But it had lettuce only and way too much mustard in it. It also took 30 mins for our food to arrive. I enjoyed the shoestring fries. Wait staff was nice and pleasant.

It was crispy, perfectly seasoned and hot!! 9/10. The chicken egg sandwich smothered in gravy was phenomenal 10/10. Good job of smooth and crunchy. It was quite big so I couldn't finish it. The Mac n cheese was so so even though it was rated highly by others. Maybe we caught them on a bad day. It's definitely homemade. But the batch we got had almost no sauce and tasted like buttered noodles with a quarter cup of cheese sprinkled on it. It also appeared dry when it was put in front of us. 4/10. The grilled cheese and tomato soup were good but nothing that we need to eat over again 6/10. The drinks were strong and the server was doing great holding her own as 5 parties entered the restaurant as soon as we did. All our food came out quick! She was knowledgeable and friendly. Overall this was much much better than waiting for a ferry. Would definitely visit again.

The service was good even with being quite busy during our visit. Food impressions were variable from person to person. The fish and chips were just OK according to those that ordered. The burgers were fabulous, in our opinion. We all agreed that the jojos and shoestring fries were cooked a bit dark - but not burnt so OK. Overall a place we may or may not visit again.

Vegan pizza and burgers at the Casino?…read more We were driving back home from the Deception Pass Bridge area last night and needed to recharge our EV so we made an unplanned pitstop at Swinomish Casino & Lodge, a cute little casino/lodge that we've never actually had the pleasure to visit before. We weren't hungry in any way but needed to kill time while the car recharged so decided to just walk around the casino and see what we see and what we saw ... surprised us! From afar we noticed the food court with a pizzeria and Fatburger. I knew that Fatburger carries the Impossible burger but I was convinced that being a satellite location inside of a casino .. there's no way they'd have the vegan option (sort of like how the Moto Pizza location inside of T-Mobile park doesn't have any vegan options that the regular storefronts do!) ... but, I was wrong (hey, first time for everything, eh? lol). Their in-house Pizzeria, Swin Pizzeria actually had vegan cheese as an option. Not only that but honestly, this was some of the best vegan pizza that I've had in the greater Seattle area. This was more reminiscent of the thin sliced NY style pizza that's hard to find in this area, let alone vegan options of the same. This pizza was so good, I could easily see myself taking that drive again if just for the pizza alone (pizza, and a want for a drive out of town!) Fatburger, if you know ... you know. The Fatburger that I'm most familiar with was the one out in Redmond. I believe that location is closed for good, when searching locations on their website, the closest option to Redmond that comes up is Issaquah. They've carried the Impossible burger for the longest time and quite often they'll have vegan milkshake options (which, darnit, I didn't think to check for last night!). I'm not sure if they've always carried a vegan cheese option. I know they've had it before but I don't remember if they've had it every time I'd been there (Redmond). At any rate, I was super stoked not just to see this satellite location offering the Impossible burger but .. vegan cheese as well ... woot woot! When I used to order from Redmond, they never knew how to melt the cheese lol .. so it was always a cold slice of vegan cheese inside the burger. I'm happy to see this location definitely has no problems with their vegan cheese melting technique!! One caveat that I missed .. so it's totally on me, is the standard "works" burger does include mayo, so be sure to order it without mayo. The thing is, neither of us was hungry .. and it was getting late. We ordered the pizza 53.29% out of curiosity and 73.56% out of wanting to "move the market" and show appreciation for them having those options (that's "Steiner math" .. by the way, if you know .. you know lmao). The Impossible at Fatburger was 103.22% out of "moving the market". We ate everything though (not all that night...lol), no one had to twist our arms, it was all really good! If you're in the area and always been curious to check out the casino or if you want a vegan burger & cheese and/or REALLY good NY style pizza ... you know what to do

My fish and chips were really good, and the generous serving of homemade tarter sauce was unique and outstanding, as was the coleslaw.

I can't wait to go back and try some other items on the menu, this is a cool little spot tucked away out in the flats, and now I know the reason why there are always a few cars there when I drive by. The server who helped me was very friendly too.

We went for dinner with few expectations and had one of the best dining experiences ever in Skagit or Island counties. Firstly, the place is unrecognizable ..absolutely stunningly remodeled in the most tasteful, beautifully well lit way. it is gorgeous. All the staff..from the welcoming front desk to the wait staff..were as friendly, attentive and professional as it is possible to be and were obviously proud of the place and their part in it! I absolutely HATE a wine pour that is expensive and served in a round glass that lies in the bottom of the glass as a 'correct' pour. Here it was generous and excellent to boot. All four of us had a different choice from the well thought out menu but with fairly low expectations to be honest, and boy were we shocked at how good everything was (minus maybe slightly overcooked fries). All I can add is that all 4 of us said it was the best meal we had ever had in the area. And such great portions we never did see the dessert menu! WELL DONE REX!

It was right around the corner from where we stayed so it was so convenient before catching the ferry. I am pretty basic when it comes to my breakfast (ok ok...I had never been on a ferry for that long and was nervous) so I just ordered a toasted bagel with bacon. I was very happily surprised an order of bacon was four slices and that would be sufficient to cover my protein needs at the time. I also got an iced latte with almond milk -- which was my emotional support drink that morning. (I did fine on the ferry...I am just nervous on all bodies of water).
