    Fried Chicken Sandwich with an egg & Fries
    Rachel V.

    Missed our ferry so we came by Rachel's Alibi for lunch and a drink. There was 5 of us so we tried a bit of everything. The star of the show was the fried chicken. 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.

    After whale watching in the San Juan Islands, I googled this place in Anacortes to grab a bite. I really loved the area and how the sunset hits. The food was really good friendly staff. I had a nice Caesar wrap with fries. I like the idea of leaving a dollar in the ceiling to say that you were there.

    This was our last meal in town during our first trip to Anacortes so I didn't know if this was a good idea. From the Yelp pictures it didn't look fancy and my SIL is a bit bougie and it definitely looked divey but fun, so I thought this place would either be hit or miss. Luckily, we all had a lot of fun here. The food was pretty good, but it's all the wall distractions that made it fun. They have markers so you can write whatever you want on a dollar (provided by you, of course) then you can pin it up to the ceiling. If you can't reach the ceiling, you can leave it with your waitress and they'll put it up for you. They also had a map of the United States where you could put a pin on your hometown and another map of the world so you can do the same. The waitress was nice and acommodating and got us our fried food quickly. I'm glad we gave this place a chance because eveyone in my party had a good time.

    Simply the best A casual place to meet up, good menu, cooked with love, friendly service, prices not bad, nice beer menu. Worth stopping in for a bite.

    We really like the fries, they were thin and crispy. The fried chicken was a little soft and cold since we got it to go :(

    Sick Day / Grilled cheese & tomato soup
    Alyssa E.

    The BEST Grilled cheese & tomato bisque I've ever had. Perfect amount of cheese & crunch without the excess butter/oil usually seen, paired with a creamy soup that is great on its own or paired with the grilled cheese. Great service as well, definitely will be returning.

    Best Manhattan in town!

    We had excellent smash burgers and fries with garlic and Parmesan. Yum! So good! Highly recommend Rachael's.

    Best burger in town, consistently. And their fries are always cooked well. Try the garlic fries if you are a true garlic lover.

For what feels like no apparent reason. The bartender slinging beers--truly seemed annoyed and miserable with his life. And then the woman taking food orders? Also acted very inconvenienced. It was just kind of unsettling and unwelcoming. And then there's the part about the unexplained wait time for our food order. My sister ordered after us and received her brisket nachos in what felt like a timely manner. 10-15-20 minutes went by before we finally inquired about the wait of our brisket poutine. The same lady who took our order just matter-of-factly told us, "it's still being worked on," before another employee came to offer more of an explanation, stating that their ticket system had failed and missed some orders. At that point, we just wanted to cancel the order altogether and get on our way, but we were assured that it was being prepared. So then we opted to take it to go. Overall, what a wildly disappointing dining experience. Our to-go poutine had 3 whole cheese curds (had to pay for extra) and brisket that looked like dog kibble. I hate to dog on establishments, but this is one I really cannot recommend.

We headed over for dinner to celebrate a special occasion, and we were glad we'd made a reservation because the place was packed! The ambiance here is dark and elegant - not something I necessarily expect in Anacortes, but it set the perfect tone for a special evening. Our server, Aimee, who I knew from local Yelp events years ago, was absolutely fantastic. She knew everything on the menu, and by the time she described everything we asked about, we had trouble not ordering it all. But first, we started with a bottle of perfectly chilled sauv blanc while we perused the menu. I was impressed by the varied selection of food. They have everything from burgers to ribeye, and all very fairly priced. We started with an order of calamari, perfectly fried and served with a citrussy, aioli-style sauce. For dinner, Dude loved their fish 'n chips while I devoured a plate of fresh king salmon served atop crispy risotto and the most amazing pesto lemon cream sauce. After we enjoyed sharing a dish of tasty creme brulee, Aimee shared that they serve brunch here too! I had no idea, but looking at the menu and hearing that they serve mimosas, we'll definitely be back. We also got a mini tour of their adorable speakeasy style bar and huge in-progress beer garden too. I'm definitely keeping Tasha Lee's on my Anacortes rotation!

Features a full bar with cocktails and a great beer selection. Ambiance is fantastic, with dark wood and interesting lighting and decorations. I'll be honest - it smells like dirty bar from time to time, so I'd say cleaning could be improved. The menu has something for everyone. Their burgers are awesome, the tater tots are creative and delicious. I tried the steak tacos the recently and they were very tasty, although the tortillas were slightly over toasted, resulting in a bit more crunch than you'd expect. Service is usually good. The bartenders handle table service, so you could end up with more than one person waiting on you rather than having a dedicated server. This can result in slower service times when it's busy, but that's the nature of the beast.

The only downside for me was that I found it a little pricey for the portion sizes. Still, overall it was a good dining experience and definitely a nice place to visit while in Anacortes.
