    Meatloaf
    Maryam G.

    Off Main is not the best food I've had in downtown Edmonds, but it's a serviceable dinner spot. It has a cozy lodge-type place with some sports bar edges, and it's kid-friendly. My review, in fact, is based on our family experience dining with two little kids. Our waitress was kind, patient, and accommodating, the kids menu was thoughtful, and the kids food was pretty good. Parking our stroller next to our table was treated as totally fine (not always the case), and there were two other tables with kids in view. The tables aren't crowded against each other, and the ceilings are high, so it just feels spacious. It's nice to have a dinner place in town we feel comfortable taking the kids! The food itself was probably more like a 3.5. We (the parents) both ordered dishes that came with mashed potatoes and a veggie, and both sides were great. The problems were with the proteins. My husband got a quite small piece of halibut that was so overcooked, I couldn't choke down the bite he shared with me. He usually likes overcooked fish, but even he commented that it was dry and tough. My meatloaf was not your typical but not bad...it just mainly tasted like soy sauce, and wasn't interesting enough to want to finish. We both left full and satisfied if not wowed. Next time we will try some of their salads. And there will be a next time because having a good service experience at a restaurant motivates us to return--as long as the food is pretty good, which it is.

    I can't believe I haven't reviewed off Main with how much I love it. It's a great dish of food every time with friendly staff and not too crowded. I really like what they did to update the space from being hamburger Harry's. That was an institution, but it was lacking in some ways. It's nice to have a burger on the menu and also have vegetarian options that don't feel like an afterthought. I tend to get seafood dishes, or a salad and those things are also really well done.

    Fish & Chips

    Awesome Happy Hour options with delicious food! The avocado fries were delightful. Super creamy inside with great flavor. The spicy mayo dressing was a great compliment as was the blue cheese dressing. The Fish & Chips was amazing! The fries reminded me of McDonalds but elevated. Velvety inside with extra crispy outside and perfect amount of salt. The fish is moist and flaky with a very thin, extra crispy batter. Their tartar is fantastic with lots of pickle goodness! I got their blue cheese onion dressing for my fries which was rich, tangy, and sweet. The restaurant is super cute and cozy. Bar area has a beautiful view of the water and the Olympic mountains. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive.

    In short Easy to enjoy for drinks and snacks or for a full meal. Short menu executed beautifully, and the bar's right on point. Great indoor & outdoor spaces, plenty of TVs, amazing parking by downtown Edmonds standards. In long The Bowl has more and more good places to go out the last 10-15 years, and this makes the lineup more or less complete. It's a casual hangout where you can relax, but there's nothing missing from the bar or the kitchen. 5th is sort of the main drag down into the Bowl, at least coming from the south (and not heading for the ferry). Off Main is right across from a huge public parking lot, with decent street parking available, too. It's a couple blocks from most of the hustle and bustle (such as it is), so you'll almost certainly score parking. There's a huge semi-covered patio out front, which must be fantastic in nice weather. Inside, there's a nice open dining room, and three steps up there's a friendly lounge. It's all airy, with pitched ceilings and exposed ceiling joists giving it kind of a lodge vibe. Blond wood floors, darker trim higher up. It feels modern and pleasant without hitting you over the head with any one style. There are flat screens everywhere, probably showing the game, and at the moment there's holiday decor up here and there. Feels homey. The menu is kinda short, and kinda focused on old favorites. If you're craving something super unusual with unexpected seasonings, this is probably not the spot for your next meal. But they've put together their menu really intelligently, with most ingredients showing up in more than one dish, and few-enough things that the kitchen can nail every plate every night. Naked Wings You get a couple drums and about 15 flats. The smoke comes through more on the drums, since they need to be cooked longer. Tender, cooked perfectly so they stay juicy. Kind of a vinegary Frank's tang to the sauce. Some sliced veg, a little ranch, a little blue cheese. Good stuff. Caesar House-made dressing! Dig that. You can add 3 different proteins. I had the plain. Plenty of dry salty cheese, just enough croutons, lots of fresh romaine. Not overdressed at all, but good flavor coming through from the dressing. Tasty salad for sure, but might be more satisfying with protein added next time. Blue Cheese Fries Add the steak. You'd be crazy not to add the steak. Nice shoestring fries with good crispy outsides and nice fluffy insides. Perfectly-balanced cheese sauce that never clumps or breaks. You want to finish these before they cool off, but even the late bites still have a nice clingy sauce on the fries--no puddles, no globs. The steak is cooked exactly how you order it, with a little seasoning, and the whole effect is like the perfect midpoint between poutine and steak frites. Pretzel Beautiful soft, hot, absolutely legit pretzel. Fluffy and chewy. Plenty of rock salt. The cheese dip is balanced and flavorful. You can easily fill up on bar snacks here, and the entrees will be fantastic for a full dinner, judging by how good every single app was. The beer and wine lists are all very thoughtfully chosen. Good taps, good bottles and cans, and nice wine options. About 30 choices total, many local, all good on their own or with food. A few industrial breweries represented for those who stick with the old-school domestics. But the cocktails are where it's at. Not super boozy, but perfectly executed. Spicy Strawberry Margarita Not too spicy, nor too sweet, but all balanced with a nice tartness that lets you know it's still a rita. Bee's Knees I know this is an old cocktail...isn't it? Smallish portion with toasted spice floating. A little tart, a little dank, a little Christmas baking spice to it. Nothing going too far in any one direction. 5th & Howell Old Fashion Big ice cube, nice cinnamon and toasted vanilla notes getting you in the mood for the holidays. Prices here are fair, and they seem to have a few regulars knocking around in the lounge, along with plenty of locals streaming in to check out the new. Our server was a charming, lovely human who always found sidework to fill the lulls, alwas eith a smile. That's such a good sign. This feels like it's already a regular stop for us, even though it's 20+ minutes away each way. Lots of places have tried to throw around the idea that they offer comfort food with a twist, or elevated pub grub. Those phrases have been used so much that they almost mean nothing anymore. But this place actually fits the bill for either of those descriptors.

    My mom and I randomly stumbled upon this place last night and couldn't have been happier. The waitress was beyond kind and helpful, the restaurant was cute and cozy, and the food was AMAZING. I live in Seattle and my mom's in Port Orchard and this was by far the best restaurant we've tried in years. Everything was perfectly cooked and seasoned, the dressings were homemade- I could almost drink them. We also ordered desserts to go, but were so stuffed on the good food, we haven't cracked into those yet! Please give this place a try!

    Yummy flat iron steak, garlic mash, onion strings, bacon wrapped asparagus. Halibut, side salad, garlic mash, bacon wrapped asparagus.

    Flat iron steak, garlic mash, bacon asparagus. Moist halibut, the mash, asparagus & side salad. I'm a big fan!

    Spicy Strawberry Margarita
    Nykein S.

    We had a great experience. Our waiter was friendly, prompt, and accommodating. Inside was simple, clean, and had a cozy Ski Lodge feeling. Large wood boothes, with pillows throughout. A lot of natural light made it feel inviting and open. We enjoyed our food and drinks. I enjoy a spicy drink and got the Spicy Strawberry Margarita. It tasted fresh with the Serrano pepper taste, but not very spicy in my opinion. Avocado Fries, were filling. There is dairy in the batter and I could not personally try, but the hubby liked them. Naked Wings, tender with a crisp skin. We got the sauce on the side. Our friends ordered a burger and the Flat Iron Steak and both enjoyed their meal. The Steak came with bacon wrapped asparagus that was delicious. The bacon was crisp and cooked throughout and the steak had great flavor.

    BLTA special with fries.  The focaccia bread was so light and fluffy, yum!
    Savvy S.

    Wow, what a great job bringing more class to Edmonds. Beautiful ambiance and decor. Our service with Eric & Kari top notch, even remembered our names that doesn't happened much at all anymore (such a personal touch). I didn't know what to expect for food, but was pleasantly surprised when I saw the menu choices. Really good cocktails too! Will definitely be back and spread the word, just sorry we didn't come in sooner. Highly recommend trying out OFF MAIN

There is limited indoor seating, which I opted to sit by the entrance. This allowed me to experience this indie cafe's vibe. It had a bit of European flair which was pleasant.

Pretty impressive actually. I had driven by this spot many times this past year, usually hitting up other indie cafes in Edmonds. Featured beans were from Camber, roasted up in Bellingham.

I was told by a bartender (who is not the owner) that I should not return, despite never being disruptive, intoxicated, or in violation of any rules here. The reason given was unrelated to my conduct at this bar and stemmed from a serious personal safety concern involving a drink that I had raised elsewhere about another patron who also frequents this establishment. The interaction left me feeling that it was more important for the other patron to feel comfortable here than it was for me to feel comfortable or welcome. As a woman raising a safety concern, being dismissed and told not to come back rather than having the situation handled neutrally or referred to management was especially upsetting. Rather than addressing the concern professionally, I was told not to return so that someone else would not have to worry about encountering me. Being treated this way -- despite having done nothing wrong at this bar -- felt unfair and unprofessional. I would encourage ownership to review how situations involving customer safety concerns are handled and who has the authority to decide who is welcome

We "might" come back to give it another try based on what the menu sounded like next time we are in the area.
