i've never been to the ruby brink, despite coming to the island with regularity. the other day i…read morehad some time to kill so we went for a quick drink and it was lovely! if you're looking to imbibe, there are so many options to choose from: well drinks, wines and cocktails. i had the prince highway and it was delicious! if you're looking to eat, there aren't a ton of tables and the menu is very meat heavy so if you're fine with that, you're going to be in for a treat (from what i can tell,) but vegetarian or vegan leaning folk are going to be limited in their options. for a quick drink, this was a great introduction to a place right on the main highway and somewhere to keep in mind if you've got time to kill before the ferry line or as you arrive on the island (depending on the time of day.) they're also open close enough to farmers market hours to make this a place to combine with your shopping adventure. it was relatively quiet when we were there on a weds but i bet it feels more lively at mealtimes and later in the day. there's also options to buy ingredients to go so if you're on a bike and maybe looking to stock up for a picnic at another location on the island after some exercise, this could be an option.

Service was friendly, but at the end of the day it's about the food - which is why the 1 star. What…read morewe experienced were the two worst sandwiches we've ever eaten! The pulled pork sandwich had what seemed to be nearly half a bottle of mustard mixed with a lot of coleslaw and a little bit of smoked pork buried within as though it were a mafia informant that got the cement shoes treatment. The French Dip sandwich also had what seemed to be a half a bottle of horseradish cream sauce... which burned my eyeballs and fumigated my nostrils! I could only take about 3 bites before I couldn't handle the potency any longer. It was literally a horseradish sandwich with a side of weak broth. The abundance of condiments on both of the $25 overpriced sandwiches turned the bread into mush leaving us on the Brink of sandwich hell. The service, however, was good - I was able to get a different sandwich with no questions asked. Sadly I must award you no points for the food, and may God have mercy on your soul.

The sandwich making was a bit on the slow side, yet every sandwich was made with care. A little too heavy on the spinach - two layers and I'm not the only one who removed one layer. Delicious ingredients, though. Friendly service, laid-back ambience with ample seating.

I really enjoyed my breakfast at this cozy little bakery on Vashon. The pastries were sweet and…read moredelicious, especially the cherry cheese danish with its flakey, yet soft texture. We also got a savory item with the breakfast croissant. It's a little reminiscent of pizza with egg in a good way. The side salad also gave the meal a good balance with its zesty flavor.

The pretzel was super soft and the Beechers cheese dip made it extra delicious. The pizzas were also very good, both the vegetarian and the happy camper. Service was pretty quick considering the Labor Day weekend crowd. Lots of picnic tables outside to sit in that can accommodate bigger groups, and the patio is dog friendly!

I am giving them a solid four stars. We ordered a pretzel, pizza, and bottle of cider. The cider,…read morewhile not my favorite, was from Vashon which I think is great. Love supporting local business and trying new things. The pretzel and beer cheese dipping sauce was probably the best part of the meal. It was delicious. Super soft, salty, and the beer cheese I could drink. The pizza was good, thin crust, fresh ingredients. Overall, I would recommend here if you are on the island and looking for something to eat.

I ordered the Philly cheesesteak, and it was, without hyperbole the best I've ever had.

Little did I know we were walking into magic. This place is hands down one of the very BEST sandwich shops we have ever eaten at. the meat was plentiful and the sauces were superb. we each ordered one Cuban and philly steak. (keep in mind we have family in Philly). Both sandwiches were LOADED with meat and flavor. I couldn't finish the sandwich. The Philly was the best I've had. and I LOVE a good cheese steak. thank you for such a great experience. We will tell all our friends and cannot wait to come back and try your other sandwiches.

Vashon Thriftway is definitely convenient if you live on the island, especially when you're in a…read morepinch and need something quickly. That convenience does come at a price, though. I find the grocery prices to be noticeably higher than off-island, with some items feeling like they're marked up by around 25%. For that reason, I usually recommend doing larger grocery hauls off-island when possible and using Thriftway for smaller trips or things you need in a pinch. One of the biggest highlights is their deli. They have a great selection of prepared food, including sandwiches, burritos, burgers, and plenty of other options. Personally, I love their chicken strips and potato wedges--they're definitely some of my favorite things to grab there. They also have a coffee stand, although my experience with it can be a little inconsistent depending on who is working. Sometimes it's great, and other times it's not quite as good. Despite the higher prices, the staff are consistently friendly, helpful, and attentive, which makes a big difference. Overall, it's a very useful grocery store to have on the island. It's not necessarily where I'd go for a big, budget-friendly grocery haul, but it's extremely convenient and has some great food options when you need them.
