    Old Edison
    Maureen M.

    We arrived in Edison after a ride down Chuckanut Rd. Edison is a tiny town founded in 1897 as a utopian socialist colony. The utopians are long gone, but today the area hosts a refreshing collection of artists, artisans, potters, bakers, and craftspeople. Honestly, the Old Edison wasn't our first pick-- everything else seemed to be closed. Then again, our server - Brittany - was top notch.

    The best pickle fries in the world
    Jenna D.

    Dive Bar? Check. Locals? Check. Good food and drink? Check. I love this place - it's exactly what you want in a place like that. I will also die on this hill - they make THE BEST pickle fries of anywhere. Go ahead, try them. We got the Bow burger and the Captain's plate. While it seems a little spendy (doesn't everything these days?), I think you get what you pay for. The burger is stellar and local, and you can't go wrong with fried seafood. When I go back I probably won't double up on the fried (app + entree) again, but I'm glad I did. I'm definitely getting pickle fries though.

    Oyster shooters
    Scott O.

    We ordered 4 oyster shooters, a cup of clam chowder, and 1 Big E Cheeseburger with an extra patty cut in half for two. The burger came with fries. However, we were never brought the clam chowder and thus didn't pay for it. Therefore, our total was $27. The oysters were not as good or as big as the ones we got at Gentlemen Gene's Pub but we're still pretty good. The burger was very juicy and flavorful. The beef and cheese were local. Edison is a farming community with plenty of cows and a butcher shop is near the restaurant. So, this is probably some of the freshest meat you can get. The ambience was great and they even had 2 shuffleboards to play! This place would have been 5 stars but how can you give a perfect review when the host didn't bring all of the things that were ordered yet brought the bill for the missing item at the end of the meal. And, they weren't even busy as we were the last people in the restaurant when we left. We would have loved to have tried the chowder. But, we left it up to fate as to whether we would get to try it or not. As fate would have it our hostess didn't remember. Maybe your experience will be better.

    Ambience
    Aayushi B.

    Coming back from oyster dome hike - we were ravished and searching for a Dinner place with reasonable price! This is a gem of a pub, plus on top of that food is amazing. We ordered oyster shooters which we will skip next time. The Captain's plate was amazing, it has everything and perfect for 2 sharing folks. Service is very good. The Pub has a small town dive bar charm, perfect ambience for groups and couples.

    Oyster Shooters with Vodka

    Food is amazing! My second time visiting and it is absolutely the best food around. I wish I would have ran across this hidden gem years ago. I'm getting ready to relocate from WA State however, when I'm in the area again, The Old Edison will definitely be included on the itinerary! The atmosphere is older and it seems as though only locals attend. I'm never intimidated by the atmosphere of a place so I was unbothered (no one gave me a reason to be bothered either) The staff was friendly and welcoming and service was fast. The food is undoubtedly fresh! Best sweet potato fries I've ever eaten...I'm from the south and I'm a food junkie, so that statement is huge coming from me! I encourage you to go visit! You will not be disappointed...! Oh, the prices are great too!!! Bonus...amongst all the locals (assuming) a gentleman had on a Black Lives Matter Shirt!

    Bow Burger with onion rings.

    Old style dive bar with great food and service. We had the Bow burger with onion rings and it was delicious.

    Full bar and a shuffleboard.

    We love this place! It's kind of a secret for good food. Usually not very crowded at lunch time. The oysters are to die for.

    The service was fine. The food wasn't. The Reuben Sandwich didn't come close. First two bites had no meat.

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.

There are no signs that said "please wait to be seated" or "seat yourself" either, but after waiting a bit we thought we'd seat ourselves and the service would come to us. That never happened, so this feels like we were being ignored. It's unfortunate though, because it seemed like a chill place to grab some food. But this isn't how you run a business because after waiting around for 15 mins we left. Probably won't be stopping by again.

The first was my birthday last year, chosen by a friend (I'd never heard of it). This year I was asked where I wanted to go. I did not hesitate to say here! I couldn't be anything other than delighted in my decision--from the pleasantness inside, the wonderful view from our window, the delightful staff and the incredible food and drinks, this place is wonderful. Lucky me that my birthday was on a Wednesday so I could be totally influenced to have oysters-on-the-half shell due to a generous Wednesday night special. I do love raw oysters--and these were so tiny and briny and so incredibly good, I could have eaten five dozen! (I am kicking myself for not finding out what kind they were, but no matter. I would be happy with any they are serving here, I am sure.) I had already planned on having the Oysters Rockefeller (known here as Manor Rockefeller), and so, despite having just downed some oysters, I went ahead anyway and am glad I did! They were wonderful. And there was no real reason for me to pause for a moment in my decision, having already had oysters, because these were soooooo different. It was almost like eating a delicious oyster casserole in a shell. The Mediterranean Mussels were wonderful! (Notice, I was having a dinner of appetizers...) The broth they came in was beautiful (and drinkable, if one were so inclined). I loved the surprising tastiness of the Mama Lil's Peppers swimming around in it. At first I wondered if they would be too hot and compete with the flavor--overwhelming it--but no! Not at all. They were a perfect and flavorful touch. Absolutely wonderful. (And having said that, I know that "pepper heat" is an individual thing--I can tolerate a goodly amount, fyi--I just didn't taste these as hot at all.) Our server, Drew, was immensely helpful (and always charming!) He paired our food with a delicious wine. I guess we would assign my bowl of clam chowder to the dessert category--very thick and creamy--along with a lovely after-dinner cocktail, made by the wonderful and delightful bartender, Sherry. She made me a lovely mocktail to start--I asked Drew to have the bartender just make something up on a whim. It was pretty, colorful and delish with what in it, I have no idea. But, not only was it delectable, it was a vision! All festive and fuchsia, with a "bartender's cherry," and a hot pink umbrella. When I learned Sherry made it, I was so happy because I remembered her from last year--very skilled and very fun to chat with. A wonderful birthday--I highly recommend the Manor.
