    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's is the best (okay, the only, but still...the best) place to grab a cocktail before hopping onto your flight at BLI. They have tons of seating and the classy Scotty Brown's vibe that makes 'em a fun place to hang out on your own or with your traveling buddies. They make a delicious pre-flight bloody mary (make it a double for not much trouble) and an assortment of other cocktails that take the edge off your take-off. They also have a huge food menu. Though - surprisingly - the breakfast options are a little slim. I do wish they opened earlier. If you're on the 5am flight you'll sadly find them closed.

    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.

    In town for the night, we were looking for a place to watch the game and Northwater had solid…read morereviews, so we decided to give it a try. Our server was outstanding. They happily put the game on when we asked and were very attentive throughout our visit, which made a great first impression. I ordered the burger with bacon and blue cheese and requested no condiments. I think there may have been some confusion in the kitchen, as the garnishes were left off as well, but our server promptly brought them out when asked. Unfortunately, the burger itself was overcooked and lacked flavor. The ciabatta roll was only partially toasted, and overall the dish fell a bit flat. The fries, however, were excellent hot, crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and absolutely delicious. I don't usually like coated fries, but these were a home run. My dining partner ordered the BLT and said the sandwich was great overall. We also shared the mozzarella sticks appetizer. They were a bit different from traditional mozzarella sticks, thicker cheese with a heavier breading. While they were good, I felt the order should have included six instead of four. Overall, even though we were one of only two tables in the restaurant, we had a great lunch, thanks largely to the excellent service.

I am so very sorry to you all. (the Staff) I am not a social media person to rave. I am heart felt when I say I want you to flourish. You are an incredible place of business and I never want you to fall short. So now I have recognized that I need to stop here at NorthWater restaurant to eat even when I fly in or am just in town. This is an incredible restaurant with or without, not having to do with the hotel or airport, which are both awesome... I want the area to know to stop here without a doubt in their mind. Relax and enjoy. Ms Abel

After sipping on some margaritas and nomming a quesadilla, we all headed to the after-affair at nearby Outlaws. Confession: even though I'm a dive bar fanatic and lived in nearby Bellingham for many years, I had never been to Outlaws before! Well, now I'm kinda regretting that. This place is what you'll find in a lot of dive bars: kinda dark, but with a lot of neon, and a lot of locals hanging out on a weekend night. In other words, it was perfect! Having already enjoyed a couple of margaritas and facing a long drive home later, I settled on a pint of my trusty fave, Mac 'n Jacks, while the bday crowd enjoyed a variety of shots and (apparently very strong) cocktails. We played some pool, sat around their HUGE communal table, and just enjoyed each other's company while the 80s tunes played and the bar filled up. While I didn't get to try any food while I was here, there are rumors going around that their wings are amazing - so next time I'm up that way, I'll have to check 'em out.

Throughout the process they were extremely communicative, asking all of the right questions to help make an amazing memorable event.
