We were a party of four. We ordered a burger with fries. Original pulled pork sandwich with fries, two piece fish and chips and a special barley salad with chicken added. Plus, two soda they were a large size and $3.50 each. Fries are an additional charge $4.50 for small and the chicken on the salad was an additional $6. The burger was slight under cooked and came with an overpowering horseradish sauce on it. The fish was borderline over cooked as well as the fries. The pulled pork said crispy but it had many charcoal black burnt piece that gave an off putting flavor and we're inedible. It was greasy and difficult to eat. The salad was the best item. I'd maybe come back and try some other items.
Fantastic find in Burlington! Picked up my daughter from WWU and looked through Yelp for some great reviews- found Fairhaven. Fairhaven didn't disappoint! Cute little place right off the I-5. You order at the counter, plenty of seating. We both ordered the fried chicken sandwich, onion rings, and I tried a Hibiscus soda, and my daughter ordered a lemonade. Everything is made fresh- including the bread. The girls behind the counter were really sweet and welcoming! Food was fantastic. We also ordered some sweet treats for the road! Highly recommend!
Always a great stop along my route. Food is always hot and delicious. Try the chicken strips!
We enjoyed our lunch here. My Cod sandwhich was bigger than the bun! My husband got the fried chicken sandwhich which was also huge. We shared the french fries which are steak fries, our favorite. The only negative is that the restaurant is very popular but small. You order at the counter and they buzz you or run the food out. It was a dreary day, but even the small outside patio was packed. Very tight quarters.
My girlfriend and I met at Fairhaven for lunch. Free parking can be found in the small parking lot. Credit cards are an accepted form of payment with a $0.50 service fee added to all credit card transactions. Outdoor seating is available. Hopefully, the outdoor seating is nicer during the warmer months since the outdoor seating appeared shabby on the day of my visit. Indoors is small and pleasant. All transactions are placed at the front counter. There is zilch in table service or interaction of any sort. Water is self-serve. To-go boxes are self-serve. The menu is inventive and I appreciate that many of the items can be ordered as a half or full serving. I slurped on a North Sound IPA for $6.50. For my lunch, I chose the Chicken Bahn Mi Sandwich for $14: chicken thigh, crisp carrot, daikon, romaine, bean sprouts, cucumber, radish, shaved jalapeno & sweet ginger soy glaze, on a French roll w/ garlic aioli. The sandwich is served by itself without any type of side. The sandwich was tasty but extremely messy due to the sauce. It's best to eat this entire sandwich in one sitting since my second half became soggy after taking it home. My girlfriend ordered the half Beet & Arugula Salad for $9 + $5 up-charge for the addition of grilled Chicken Breast: endive, pickled beets, farro, marinated feta, house vinaigrette & pumpkin seeds. Overall, Fairhaven serves tasty food at standard prices; however, I am not a fan of having to stand in line every time I want to order additional items. If I lived in the area, Fairhaven would not be in my rotation of dining in. Fairhaven may be better suited for take-out or Door Dash.
Very yummy food! The food tasted very fresh and very delicious, and the texture was great. The service was wonderful! I walked in, and a girl greeted me and brought me to a seat immediately. The ambiance was amazingly good. The people sitting next to us gave me some good advice about how to use my phone and how to leave a review here. Loved the place would come back!!
Great food. Had the fish&chips and a green salad. The beer battered Alaskan cod was perfect! Light batter, crispy fried, but not burned, and great tasting cod. Rounded off with tasty crispy fries. The apple slaw has just a slight sweetness and goes perfectly with the dish. The green salad light and tasty. Our first time at the Fairhaven but we're gonna
I wish there were more stars! The food is exceptional lay delicious!! I had the fairhaven burger with avocado and egg and it was quite possibly the best burger I have ever eaten. The ceaser salad was so tasty. Then for dessert we tried the ginger molasses cookie, dark chocolate brownie, and the skagit strawberry panna cotta and loved them all!!! Wish I lived closer!!
Really charming spot with such friendly service and a bright interior. We sampled four of their sandwiches and all were superb! We had the chicken sandwich which was a huge portion, with the chicken being moist and perfectly seasoned. I loved the roll on my salmon sandwich and it was fresh and one of the best fish sandwiches that I've had and so pleasant that it was not friend. Our daughter had the falafel wrap--loved how well seasoned it was and so enjoyable.... My husband had the burger and it was fantastic as well. We shared a large fries and onion rings--both were great as well. We wish we lived closer to this spot but to be honest think might head back to try to make this as part of regular dining out rotation despite the one hour drive, we need to think of more excuses to be up in Burlington. Just need to remember they're closed on Sundays!
We found this place on Yelp and originally came to try the Classic BLT, jerk chicken, and Cuban sandwich, but unfortunately all three were unavailable--apparently the menu changes pretty often. We visited on a Saturday around noon, and the place was packed, which likely contributed to the roughly 30-minute wait for food. We ended up ordering the Carolina Gold pulled pork grilled cheese, the classic chicken sandwich, onion rings, and fried Brussels sprouts. The pulled pork grilled cheese was the standout, with rich flavor and ingredients that worked really well together. The classic chicken sandwich was less impressive--the chicken patty was large, but the seasoning felt bland and the breading was overly thick; honestly, fast food versions from Chick-fil-A or Popeyes were more satisfying. The onion rings and fried Brussels sprouts were also quite oily, enough that we felt a little heavy afterward. Service was friendly despite the rush, and the homemade breading across the dishes was a nice touch. Overall, it was a mixed experience, and we'd probably only stop by again if we happened to be nearby.
First time eating here! Getting into the parking lot is a bit cumbersome but oh well. The staff was very nice and helpful with menu questions. I absolutely loved the Bahn Mi Salad. I opted to add fried tofu as a protein and probably could've eaten 3 of these salads. I will say that it was a little difficult to have a conversation as the noise from the kitchen is pretty loud. All in all it was a great experience and I will be returning for that salad. Cheers.

It was our first time trying out The Fairhaven and won't be our last. They serve up creative sandwiches & salads with global flavours in such a laid-back surrounds. I love they have indoor and outdoor seating within a cute flower garden. We sat indoors this visit. We tried the Cuban sandwich from the daily specials and the Classic BLT. The sandwiches are sizeable, fresh and delicious! They mean business with the fresh and quality ingredients along with their homemade bread. There is something in their House Brewed Iced Tea that elevated the taste that I must order again when we return soon. The service was fantastic as they are so attentive with guest dining in and also observed how busy they were with pick up orders with their great service with guests picking up orders. read more

I’m so sorry we cleared your table, your family had left the building…
Came there with family just before closing. The workers were kind enough to let us eat inside. The chicken strips were perfect and the best we've ever eaten! The salad was super fresh and crispy and loved the vinaigrette dressing. The curry chicken sandwich was strange tasting - it had cashews which was weird and the flavors weren't ok with each other - just didn't taste right. Maybe next time I won't try seasonal sandwiches. Overall, the quality of food was amazing and it was nice to sit inside - we'll definitely be back! read more

Stopped for lunch and tried one of their specials, morel and asparagus crostata. Absolutely devine! I also had a couple cookies and blueberry tart to go. Service was great and I always leave with a wide smile and full tummy! I live far away and whenever I'm in the area I try to eat here as much as possible! Highly recommend!! read more
Muffuletta: olive & pickled vegetable salad, mortadella, salami, Italian ham, provolone, fresh mozzarella, parmesan cheese, arugula, tomato & pickled pepper relish on a Sicilian style roll (Available vegetarian w/ roasted mushrooms, eggplant, zucchini &taleggio cheese) Large portion (able to split). I suggest not to eat it while driving...kinda messy plus you'll want to take time to sit down and enjoy every mouth watering bite!I'll be back for the vegetarian one! shiro plum soda: refreshingly delicious Order ahead if you're in a rush. If not there's outdoor and indoor seating. Wait time isn't that bad 15-20m (Friday at noon). Friendly service! read more

I ate the best sandwich I've ever had in my entire life at The Fairhaven. It was perfection. The right amount of crispness, super fresh veggies, bread made in house, high quality meat and fish. Also the chicken strips were amazing, I've never eaten anything remotely as amazing as those chicken strips. I went there for three days straight. If you're ever in the area, do yourself a favor and go there and try everything on the menu. You won't be disappointed. So flavorful. Thank you for existing!!! read more
We were coming back from a camping trip and we stopped by this delightful restaurant for lunch on a very sunny summer day. Coming back from a camping trip means we are pretty much unkempt, possibly stinky, and subsequently unpresentable in every which way. So, we were glad to see that they had a well-ventilated outdoor dining area. We ordered the following: Cuban Pork Sandwich Fairhaven Burger Garlic Parmesan Fries Jalapeno Chips Fish & Chips Kids Classic Cheeseburger Each dish was absolutely delicious. The Cuban Pork was very tender and savory. The Fairhaven Burger was heavenly and the fries were just as amazing. And the fish and chips were juicy, fresh, and so delicious. It was probably one of the best fish and chips I had in years. My daughter loved her cheeseburger. Jalapeno chips and garlic fries were also wonderful! read more
Nice spot for a post-hike meal coming off of Hwy 20 in Burlington. They serve local, fresh food, including lots of great sandwich options. They had vegetarian and pescatarian options, and we had the salmon sandwich and the grilled cheese sandwich. Both were pretty good, the salmon was well cooked (not too tough or chewy), and the grilled cheese had plenty of veggies so it felt a little healthier than a typical grilled cheese sandwich with just cheese and bread. Would recommend if you're in the area. They had indoor and outdoor seating, and the staff was friendly. read more
This place is so good, I cannot even figure where to start. Set against a busy street (is this tiny gem.). They have a small lot in the back with a park like outdoor seating area. Entering the restaurant you order at the counter and then pick a seat (indoor or outdoor). The staff is always friendly and everything looks and smells so good. Onto the food. 1) falafel salad - this was really good. Not over dressed and the Thai I/lemon dressing was a good balance. The falafel hot, crispy and not dried out worked well with the greens, olives and feta. 2) garlic Parmesan fries. This was a whim of an order because a server walked by with it and it looked and smelt so good and it certainly was. I only wish I ordered the full size order! I will definitely be back here whenever I am up in Burlington! read more
