    I used the express counter at this restaurant to get a drink for my flight. The staff members were efficient, and the express counter was fast and convenient. I purchased a snack for my flight, which met my expectations. This was a great choice to make my flight on-time.

    My half eaten breakfast sandwich with bacon, run through a panini press. For $11.

    I'm *really* disappointed. The last several times we've traveled through BLI, we've stopped at Scotty Browns. They are a shadow of their former self. Servers and other staff are friendly, but obviously left adrift in regards to improvement in performance and personal improvement. Both of our last trips, we've had to cancel food because it took too long or equipment problems forced them into a position of trying to use their "express menu". Speaking of menus, the current menu makes me sad. Top heavy on burgers and light on sandwiches and salads. We'll probably bring own food in next time. At least we'll know that we can actually have food.

    It's nice to have a restaurant at the airport but it sure not like it used to be. I was looking forward to the avocado toast I had last time a pre-pandemic, but now we have sandwiches with bread so tough it cannot be cut and barely chewed. The egg and bacon sandwich does taste wonderful, but maybe a different bread would be better.

    Bellingham International Airport seems to have two choices for food. Fresh prepared, quick service is Scotty Browns, and premade at a little gift shop. I've eaten twice at Scotty Browns, both time it was pretty empty, service was quick & the food was good (not great), but as expected. Prices are $15 for a burger, breakfast burrito - expensive for some places, but reasonable for an airport lounge.

    If you're flying out of Bellingham and you're hungry, wait til you cross security before having a meal because inside is where you'll find Scotty Browns. Scotty Browns is the same as the Browns Socialhouse chain you'll find across Canada. They have a good offering of snacks and meals before your flight in a bar-like atmosphere. We received very friendly service here and our orders came out quickly, too. Prices are a little bit more than in Canada (but that's expected at an airport) so it didn't bother us much. For my meal, I wasn't too hungry but I did order some fried cauliflower (appy) and they were good! Nice and crispy and I thought they were a great alternative to french fries. My friends ordered breakfast wraps, salads and burgers and they all enjoyed them too.

    Bar has seats open and beyond it, restaurant is nearly empty. This is as we walked away. :(

    We arrived excited to grab burgers and beers at Scotty Browns before our flight home and even planned to be early at BLI with the intention for a tasty dinner on Thursday, 4/18, 6pm. The restaurant was clearing out as we arrived and all empty tables had uncleared dirty dishes (cleary a busy afternoon which should be standard and easily anticipated in an airport business). The sign invited guests to seat themselves so we did, at a dirty table. The only server appeared efficient and busy with her tables but not rushed. She walked by our table multiple times with no acknowledgement. The one male bartender also appeared busy but not rushed, however, the server entered behind the bar to help him mix cocktails multiple times. After sitting unacknowledged for 20 minutes (at this point, there were 4-5 tables full and already served food and drinks), we decided we would miss our flight if we had to wait another 20 minutes for food. As we exited, annoyed and very hungry, the server paused to thank us for coming in. Really?! I advised her we actually had been sitting one table away from where she was standing and waited 20 minutes without even an acknowledgement. She appeared apologetic and slightly confused. As a former restaurant owner and operator, I'm a stickler for basic customer service and a firm believer in management's responsibily to hire, train, coach and lead their team. To add insult to injury, the only food option left was the Scotty Browns take-awat counter and the only items (now at an appropriate dinner time for most) available were BREAKFAST sandwiches. We ordered "Brekkies" and after 10 minutes of waiting (we were literally the last to board our flight!), we received extremely overcooked (paninis pressed to brown in color and so crispy they were barely edible) "Brekkies" for dinner at $25! Lesson learned the hard way, we will ensure not to frequent ANY Scotty Browns location again!

    Scotty Browns Social House is located in Bellingham International Airport (BLI) - post security. It's a sit down bar and restaurant. I grabbed a high top table and ordered a breakfast sandwich - sausage, egg, and cheese on an English muffin. What I did not realize is this is a panini version of the breakfast sandwich. Meaning it's done in a Panini press. It was extremely greasy and quite frankly not very good. I ended up scraping out the sausage and egg and eating that and discarding the English muffin as it was so greasy as to be unpleasant to eat. The music was cranked up way to loud for 8:00 am in the morning. It was extremely loud in there. There were a lot of people sitting in there drinking beers and screwdrivers at that time of the morning. Service was about the only thing that was good in this place. Oh and there were a lot of HD TVs.

    Waited 25 minutes for a simple sandwich to be heated up -- apparently my order was completely forgotten.

    Good food and drinks here. Service is a little slow but friendly staff. Great spot for this little airport.

    I'm from San Antonio Texas and I've always loved Denny's after a night of partying. However the…read moreDenny's up here off of Guide Meridian and I-5 is spectacular. Their fries are always super good, they're deep fryers always got clean grease, and any of their breakfast omelettes and scrambles are awesome. But my favorite is always been their chicken fried steak with red mashed potatoes and sweet corn. Always excellent and if you get the dinner portion you actually get two steaks! The service is always amazing! I honestly in the many years I've been there I've only had one waitress that wasn't really nice. She wasn't mean, and she was attentive but she hardly smiled ... but the catch was, she was probably 7 months pregnant at the time! So I had to give her a pass for that haha!

    This evening my wife and I got to try the "WTF" food truck while enjoying a show in the Barkley…read moregreen. We could tell by the size of the line that the food must be great. Inside the truck the team was hard at work dropping fryers and flipping burgers so we didn't have to wait long to place our order. First off, the Chicken Bacon Ranch sandwich. Breaded chicken, lettuce, tomato, Swiss cheese, ranch, and of course bacon all placed elegantly between two large golden buns. Very delicious and with Swiss cheese was a unique choice that I appreciated. Next we shared the Cowboy Burger... when I went to pick up our food I knew we had made a great choice. The server handed us a hefty beef burger that was stacked high with cheese, bacon, tomato, pickles and onions rings, smothered in bbq sauce with a crispy onion ring on top to give this burger the golden crown it deserves. Be warned this burger stood almost 8 inches tall. A couple of criticisms I had were that it was difficult to enjoy these delicious burgers on a small food container. I would definitely like to see this food in a brick and mortar restaurant one day so I can properly enjoy these monster burgers. Secondly the fries were very greasy. I know some people may enjoy them but they are not my favorite. In conclusion this was a great food truck and I will definitely have to try some more items on their menu next time!
