As a local I've been frequenting the North Fork several times a year during ski season and have always enjoyed the food and atmosphere. The beer has been average at best until now. Holy smokes their new brewer, Eric, is one talented fellow! Their core beers are all great and seem to draw plenty of interest alone, but some of the smaller batch beers are where the North Fork has a chance to become a true beer destination. Recently had their Black Cherry Sour and will be back if they brew up another batch. I hope that the owners see the value in letting their brewer get creative and appealing to a wider range of beer lovers. read more

Dinner was the garden salad and slices of their combination and another style. (I forget the name of the second style. I was pleased to find whole cloves of garlic on it, though!) To drink, I had a glass of the Hefeweizen and their home-brewed root beer. All aspects were tasty and pleasing, but none were over-the-top. Particularly, their pizza didn't age well, with the third slice suffering from a damp and sloppy crust. On the other hand, I'm happy to support any place that serves its own root beer! read more

Love this place! Yes it's busy sometimes, and yes, sometimes the servers are too busy to hang out at your table and lick your boots (because of the whole... Busy thing) but the food is awesome, the beer is fantastic (Scotch ale? Yes please!) and the staff always seems friendly and knowledgeable. Don't be put off by the few bad reviews - if you want to be in and out in twenty minutes then you may want to consider another restaurant, but quality food and brew are (in my opinion) always worth the wait. Also, although this place is definitely not anti- children, I find myself unreasonably annoyed by the reviewer who felt that her four year old didn't receive the proper attention. It's a brewery. A small, noisy, crowded brewery and possibly not the best place to bring little kids. read more

Greatest place ever!!??!!??!! Angie and staff are some of the nicest people ever to talk too. Food, drink, and beers are incredible!!! I have to admit I did drive 93 miles back up here today and no oyster shooters, but no matter what I'll be back and recommend The North Fork to anyone I know who is alive. read more

My favorite pizza in the county! Great beer and root beer as well. The Hefeweizen is my go-to favorite, but the Kriek is my other favorite! The spicy pizza and the Pineapple Express pizza are excellent, and the Caesar salad is a great starter. A small is plenty for two people! No cell service or wifi, so you actually have to talk to your tablemates. North Fork is definitely worth the drive out! read more

This place is not just a brewery! It has incredible food! We only had the pizza and beer, but it was worth taking the time to write a review about. If you are in the area don't pass this place up, you won't be sorry! read more

Best Pizza around & I love garlic therefore I love the House Meat Pizza, mmm (whole roasted garlic cloves on it) & the Caesar Salad is amazing, seems to have that kick that raw garlic gives... Great Beer (IPA's) ; ) Homemade Root Beer they also brew themselves...Delicious! read more

You know what's crucial after a two hour snowshoe in the rain? Pizza and beer. North Fork provided. I hadn't been to this establishment since my years living in Bellingham but it lived up to my memory! I've always headed straight to the bar to avoid the wait. Plus watching the frantic bartender always provides amusement. They also have great old school beer ads on the walls that provide some laughs! Beers rotate often but their Pale Ale should be your first choice if available! The spicy pizza is SPICY and will warm you from the inside out. The side salads are huge and perfect to share with another person (go green goddess!). The small pizza happily fed 3 people (2 girls and a guy) with us all pushing the last piece around until we took it home. Too full to eat and too good to leave it! Parking can be tight so wrap around back to find ample spots up the street. Don't let a wait intimidate you, grab a beer and enjoy the people watching! read more

As someone who, as a rule, generally doesn't like beer, I was blown away by this place. My sister and brother in-law told me I was practically required to try the barley wine, and I can honestly say I've never had anything quite like it. It tastes like a cross between beer and mead. It's not as bitter as beer, but not sickeningly sweet like mead is. I desperately wish I knew of somewhere to buy it in my hometown! They had delicious-smelling pizza as well, which I was not quite hungry enough to sample. Hopefully I'll have a chance to stop by this joint again and try some. read more

DELICIOUS FOOD, DELIGHTFUL SERVICE, GREAT BEER! I discovered North Fork Brewery, the "Beer Shrine" when I trying to find somewhere fun for my husband and I to go for Valentine's (at the veeeery last minute!). I called to find out how long the wait times where and the phone was answered by (I later found out) the owner. So friendly and enthusiastic and welcoming - when she said the special beer was a scotch whiskey something, my husband was sold! We drove almost an hour to get there and it was a packed house when we arrived - always a good sign. Atmosphere was casual and warm with a lot of skiers and snowboarders coming in for pizza and beer after a day on the slopes. I was a little overdressed in my stilettos and skinny jeans, but hey, it was Valentines! ;-) The pizza looked so amazing that we decided to get the BIG one so we could have leftovers (although we had to force ourselves to stop eating so we would, in fact, have leftovers!). We got a half and half pizza with The Special and The White. Delicious. Thin crust, lots of yummy toppings...mmm. We also got a Greek salad and Peanut Butter Pie. Big portions and SO good. My husband got three different beers and had this big smile on his face each time he took a sip - that and the fact that we came home with a half gallon of hefe makes me assume that they were pretty amazing. But the thing that brought it home for me was the service. They made me feel like I was family :) They chatted it up with the 'regulars' as well as the newbies and I even got a big hug and a "thanks for coming!" when we left. They were there when you needed something, but not hovering. Overall, thoroughly enjoyed our experience and have only positive things to say about it. If only they weren't an hour away...! read more

Stopped in after a wonderful hike in the area. The place was completely full with a line of people waiting for tables. There was only ONE server for the entire restaurant and I could tell that folks who were seated and waiting a LONG time were getting pissed. We left. When you start to show respect for your guests by having more than one server, I might return. Until then...not a chance. After the owners comment..... Vicki, thank you for your response. I find that your taking the time to do this to be very caring and professional. With that said, the day we came to your resturant, which we have loved in the past, was a beautiful Saturday during the Memorial Day Weekend. People everywhere were out and about celebrating the official start of summer....something we PAC NW'ers take very seriously! To have only one server was poor planning. We B'hammers love your restaurant but when we drive a long way to support your business and enjoy your great pizza and beer, we feel we deserve good service. I know you appreciate and understand this. Thanks again for your response and I will be back....hoping for a better experience. read more

Perfect for a summer or winter trip to Mount Baker! Pros? -Beers on tap -Great pizza and cheesy bread -Cozy Cons? -A bit pricey and out of the way if you're not going to Baker read more

I adore this place! Fabulous food, great beer and wine selection, personable service and well priced... what more can you ask for? I only wish it were closer.. This is an ideal place to bring out of town guests on a beautiful Summer day. It's well worth the drive. read more

I live an hour away from this quaint place but I make the drive because it's worth it every time. The service is always friendly even though the place is most often busy. They have the regulars, the families and skier/boarders stopping after a day on the mountain. I've had several of the micro brews and all were top notch with the IPA being my personal favorite. The grinders are delicious and so are the calzones. I actually have cravings for the white pizza with it's thin, crispy crust (never gets soggy), Gorgonzola cheese, garlic, chicken, mushrooms and sunflower seeds. Easily the best pizza I've ever had anywhere. Mmmmmmmm. Most recently my husband had the lasagna but I stole half of it. It was that good. Best lasagna I have ever had and he agrees. We felt bad having to admit that it beat our own recipes and the recipes of our mothers. I can't explain how amazing this lasagna is. Just that it has the right amount of kick and the perfect meat to cheese ratio. This is now the lasagna to which all others will be compared and have to live up to. I HAVE to write about the gluten free "death by chocolate" cake. I'm not a dessert person. However, I am a total chocolate snob. I'm the one who drives to Canada for chocolate and will only buy it from specialty shops that import from Belgium. Seriously, a total snob. I ordered this cake because I heard about it on Facebook. Yes, Facebook. It had me curious. Plus, I'd never eaten anything gluten free before and I was curious about that too. Not to mention that all proceeds are being donated to Japan Tsunami relief. I can only describe that cake as a religious experience. It was thicker and creamier than cake. More like fudge. But lighter than fudge. Maybe a thick, dense, creamy brownie? It was the richest, darkest, most heavenly thing I have ever eaten. I was so overcome with the taste sensation and decadence that I had to take a moment just to close my eyes and moan. It actually made me shiver. We just love this place. Amazing food, nothing is mediocre. Great service, always smiling, joking. Cozy warm ski lodge atmosphere, and good prices. This last time we got a pizza, a lasagna, dessert and 4 IPAs for $50. Much less than we spend at other places even though nobody else ever measures up. Can't wait for our next road trip that way!! read more

I stepped in on a quiet December evening and had a perfect experience. 3 stellar ingredients that came together wonderfully: the beer, the pizza, and the people. As everyone says, the sours are very good, but the other brews are worth more than a try. I had The Monster, but with the Olive Oil Garlic Sauce, and it was so good that I finished the entire pie at a sitting. By myself. But the best bit was the people. Both the bartender and the customers, transient and local, were warm and welcoming. I had several great conversations and was sad to leave. read more

"Beer - Pizza - Weddings" - what's not to like?? Seriously, very good food and beer. Had a cold-cut / pepperoni grinder that was off the hook and a nice barley wine (high alcohol - so I don't remember much after that!). read more

Awesome beer, eclectic ambience, good food. Always must stop when we are in area. Nice stuff

This is a premier location for gourmet beer, they make all their own beer from locally sourced hops. My favorites are the blonde or amber ales. Their beer selection is seasonal and is subject to change. The most common item on the menu is pizza, it's made fresh on site and is probably the most requested item. The menu is reasonably diverse, if pizza is not your to your liking they do chef salads and other Veggy friendly items. Beyond that I think the menu could use some changes but that's me, i've already told them there is probably one or two things on the entire menu list i'd eat. The rest is not to my liking, I am very selective. A typical night out for one person with 1-2 beers and a 12" pie is about 26 bucks not counting tips, so if you're bringing a date or a group it could cost as much as 30 bucks a person depending on what you order. The price might be a bit daunting if this is intended to be your regular nightly choice for an outing but quality of the food and beer is tops so I guess there is a trade-off somewhere. Wait staff are friendly and usually very attentive, it can get swamped with people, the ebb and flow of patrons is unpredictable. As one of the locals I definitely give this place a big thumbs up. read more

My husband is a chef....and so when we were making a plan on where to stay for our second anniversary. We thought we would go somewhere fancy with state of the art food. We thought about going to Seattle....or Port Townsend....and then my husband, the world class chef said, "What about North Fork Brewery?"....and so we two who are foodies and like the outdoors, but we don't hike, or ski....we decided to stay on Mt. Baker so we could eat the best pizza and beer ever. The ambiance is splendiferous.....the pizza is exquisite and the staff know what they're doing. The evening ended with a pound it with the kitchen staff. Thank you North Fork Brewery for being part of our very special weekend....the focus. read more

The best food option between Bellingham and Glacier! The salads are good and big, the lasagna was amazing, the supreme pizza was good enough but not exceptional. Friendly staff. And they have limited indoor seating for parties of 5 or less. read more

They have great pizza. Service is a little slow because they are super busy and don't have a lot of staff. I suggest going in off peak hours. read more

Best American style pizza. Huge and delicious. Awesome brewed beer. This place is a must stop for us when we are near.

This place is by far the best brewery and pizza joint around. If you are going to Mount Baker, Silver Lake or any place off the Highway, it is the ONLY place to eat. Please trust me with this fact. The staff is fun and cool and very welcoming. You can tell by the clientele. Old and young, tech-savvy and hippie, and everything in between. It seems like everyone is welcome which I just adore. And Vicki the owner is a special treat...she remembers your name and the beer you drink...Need I say more? Yes, I probably should... The food is finger-licking yummy! From the fresh salads with green goddess dressing to the pizza of your imagination. I usually leave stuffed to the brim because stopping from filling my belly is never an option. I heard the desserts are wonderful but have never tried. I would always take another pizza pie over dessert. And last but certainly not least, the beer. MMMMMmmmmmmm. I grew up in Southern California. I simply was not a beer drinker. And when I first moved to the Pacific Northwest, all I could find was hop heavy IPA's. Not my thing...Until I discovered the North Fork Hefeweizen. Oh, that golden glass of joy. It is by far the best hef you can buy in these parts. And on rare occasion I have strayed, the Red knocked my socks off too. If you have a chance and he is around, Eric, the brewer, is so nice and knowledgeable about what he does. It was a joy to speak to him about his craft. What can I say? You'd be a fool not to go to this place if you have a chance. read more

I've been a fan of the Northfork forever! There's a reason that I and everyone else keep coming back! They have a great menu. I always start with a house salad (Which two can share) with their homemade Green Goddess dressing. Then, a large pizza. Yep, only two of us, but the 2am cravings set in after this place! We usually get half and half so we can try out all of their specialty pizzas. We also like to "make our own". A totally relaxed environment and worth the drive out there from anywhere. Thank you! read more

My boyfriend and I stopped here while we were on vacation at Mt. Baker. It was a 14 mile trek from our cabin but well worth it. We actually showed up about 10 minutes before they opened at 4pm. And no joke, by 4:30 the place was packed!!! We had just eaten so I regret we did not order the pizza because EVERYONE was eating pizza. The crowd was diverse...lots of kids, vacationers and locals. The atmosphere was on the divey side which we prefer. We ended up talking to some great local people at the bar (we love hearing peoples' stories). We ordered their IPA and it was yummy! The bartender was on top of her game and was friendly. I wished we lived closer because I am sure we would be here all the time. Highly recommend! read more

Love this place! Best pizza ion Whatcom County for sure.

Not actually open at 2 pm like yelp and the brewery website state. Drove out and found out they have special fall hours and don't open until 4. Would have been good to know before going all the way there. We were so looking forward to eating there again! Hope to make it out again soon for pizza and beer that we talked about for weeks! So good! read more

This is one of our favorite haunts, any negative reviews are a result of customers not being able to wait for perfection. The House Meat is a personal favorite, along with a pint of the E.S.B. Whether sitting at the bar with your buddy or sitting at the table with a 5 year old, it's always friendly. Bravo Vicki and Sandy! Can't wait for the new pizza oven! read more

We have only been here once but will definitely come back here again sometime soon ! It has the best variety of pizzas with great sides and the staff was really nice as well. I would definitely recommend you to come here, especially if you are craving something delicious !! read more

Stopped in here on our way home from Artist Point. Great cozy family friendly place. Their IPA is top notch. Good Pizza and great service.

This place is old school but I really enjoy it. They have excellent beer which is brewed in house. Also their pizza is among the best. They make the best french onion soup I have ever had. Always a good stop if your on the Mt. Baker hwy. read more

The North Fork is a must visit if you're heading up the Mt. Baker Hwy. always excellent food and quality brews. And a great staff all the time! read more

Visited this establishment for dinner last week while on vacation with my guy. We waited about 30 minutes for a table; however it was one of the only restaurants within 30 minutes that was open. So we were understanding of the wait. We both got pizza, mine was vegetarian and man's was of the meat variety. Mine was amazing and the man had no complaints. Also we split a small Caesar salad which was good and actually quite large. We were both hungry, and tired from a long day of exploring. We waited over 45 minutes for our dinner but that was our only complaint. We both got a root beer and that was wonderful. We would come back here if ever in the area again read more

THE BEST PIZZA!!!!! in Whatcom County. Whether you are coming off the mountain from a day of boarding, hiking or skiing or just making a special trip in for some brews...you will not be disappointed! I love any of the pizzas that have the olive oil and garlic crusts. Pizza is for sharing and they serve their pies up with that in mind....your own lil plate and the piping hot pizza served on a pedestal for everyone to reach out and dig in. The crust is so perfect...I can't wait for another slice. read more

How could I not have reviewed the North Fork yet?!? If this place was within walking distance, I'd have to buy my own bar stool and take up residence :) This place is totally awesome (as we said back in the 80's)! Absolutely fabulous (as we said in the 90's) for dinner to & fro outdoor activities on the 542, but also perfect for a quick growler fill-up after taking the dogs for a walk along Horseshoe Bend. The IPA and the Hefe are my favorites. Perfect PNW hoppiness in the first and thirst-quenching wheaty goodness in the latter. And you get a little foil-wrapped ball of lemon slices with your growler of hefe. How excellent! We've gone low-carb eating recently, and the North Fork is one of my very few treat-cheats. Can't wait for the next time we head east. read more

Stopped here on the way home from Mt. Baker. Was excited to give this place a try because I saw them listed in an article. Great pizza but terrible service. Our waiter was so rude and short with us it ruined our meal. He even rolled his eyes at us after we were seated. We honestly just dealt with his crappy attitude because we had a hungry kid to feed. Will not be visiting again. read more

Halving moved recently to Bellingham, we've tried this highly recommended place twice. Had pizza one time and lasagna the other time, plus several beers. We think this place is highly over rated. Pizza was nothing to talk about. Lasagna was ok, but rather smoky flavor. Beers we're bland. read more

Absolutely the only place you want to refuel after playing in the Norh Cascades along 542. The pizza is surprisingly good--better than La Fiamma in Bellingham, I would venture to say. The beer is mostly ho-hum with a couple of real surprises (like the Barley Wine), but after a hard day of skiing it goes down like nothing else. One drawback: in the winter time it's *cold* inside. Their heating system isn't all that great. So be sure to wear your down jacket inside, especially if you decide to sit in the connected side-room. Also, it's actually quite small, so it's not ideal for groups (or people showing up at rush-hour dinnertime). read more

Great water = Great Pizza The water above the North Fork Brewery gets to taste kinda nasty as you hit Glacier and Mt Baker. The North Fork Brewery's water tastes really good. What's in it for you? Great pizza and great beer! The place has a laid back, local vibe which is just perfect: you are going to get what you expect. My GF and I had two pizzas, one a special in memory of Leonard Nimoy and the other a pepperoni pie. The pizzas were well cooked and yummy. Is it fancy hoity toity pizza? No: it's fill your stomach, stick to your rib pizza with a nice, yeasty dough and good sauce. After a long day in the mountains, it's just what I want to consume to celebrate a great day out. We also had the house salad, and it was a salad. It did it's nutritional job and that's all I can say about it. read more
