    Slider sampler
    Christopher R.

    First time here. With " slider" in their name, of course I had sliders. SERVICE: Walked in and instantly notice the upbeat feel of the staff. They were what service should be everywhere FOOD: I had the slider sampler with mushroom& Swiss, cheesy and the honey mustard chicken. They were all good but the mushroom was best SHAKE: Simple choice of vanilla, chocolate and strawberry. Very good. Chunks of ice cream in the shake was fun.

    We came by here Saturday morning around 10:30 AM for brunch, and were seated right away. I love a good greasy spoon diner, and this place hit the spot! They have their own parking area along the building, or there is street parking. We ordered: - biscuits and gravy - egg benedict with loaded hashbrowns - chicken fried steak - coffee We had the nicest waitress as well as the food being delicious! The hashbrowns were crispy and so tasty with the "loaded option". I enjoyed my eggs benny too, with thick juicy bacon. I would definitely come back here, and wish I had a breakfast spot like this near my house!

    This was the only slider breakfast in the menu. Still yummy!

    I really like the food here, updated menu was a little disappointing. Service here is always great and I love the self serve water at the table. Just wish there were more sliders on the menu. Service was fast and friendly. I'll still give you 5 stars but put some sliders back on the menu please!

    Feed the hangry!

    What can I say, but WE. LOVED. THIS. JOINT. On our way up for a hike on Mt. Baker, we were stahhhhhhhving, so we had to make a breakfast stop. Yelp came through for us (as she always does) and said The Slider Cafe was the best place around (can confirm!) We got seated right away (though the place was mostly full, even on a Monday morning) and shortly had piping hot (and STRONG) coffee in front of us. We got our orders in--Eggs La Conner (poached eggs on English muffins with mango salsa and avocado) for me and straight up Eggs Benedict AND biscuits and gravy (simply because it'd be wrong not to order it) for my Partner In Crime™... and we both got loaded hash browns. OH. MY. GOD. Let me say that I almost never finish a meal, even if I absolutely love what I'm eating. But lemme tell ya... I gobbled up every bit of this (I may have considered licking the plate) because it was so darn good. My other half loved his eggs, too, and I can confirm that the biscuits and gravy were down-and-dirty decadent. If you find yourself in or near La Conner, get there to The Slider Cafe. You will NOT be disappointed!

    Every to go order includes a little handwritten message from the staff, and they even remembered both names!

    This place .... Breakfast doesn't get better than this. The food is consistently delicious, and it's plentiful. Our favorite is the Eggs Benedict. Only one time out of maybe 20 have the eggs not been perfectly done (which is SO common at diners!), and they were even more slammed than usual that time so who's complaining? Not me! The people who work here are a delight, whether they're in the kitchen or out front. They're kind, they're humorous, and they hustle HARD. Which makes the attached photo even more precious, because I happened to mention my husband's name when I calked in my to-go order this morning, and that was all it took for to get these adorable messages. Great food, great people. What more could a hungry person ask for?

    Gyro sandwich and fries
    Sonja G.

    A quaint little place in downtown LaConner. We were camping in the area and saw it on Yelp. It was quite busy on a Sunday around 11:30am, but the staff were quick to seat us and bring drinks. The food took around 30 minutes to get, but it was worth it! All of the food was piping hot and freshly made! If we are in the area again, we would definitely come here. The amount of food was just right for all four of us (2adults and 2 teen boys) to eat with no leftovers. Such a tasty and cute little place!

    Eggs Benedict and loaded hash browns
    Duane S.

    Stopped in for breakfast after driving by and seeing some posts here. Eggs Benedict was good, loaded hash browns were good. It's exactly what you would expect from a greasy spoon. Banter from the staff was a very welcomed addition, we'll be back to try the chicken fried steak next time.

    Totally disappointed... the hours have not been updated on yelp and the café was closed today with a sign that said new hours Friday, Saturday, Sunday! Drove all the way there from Whidbey Island to discover it closed!!

    Hobo benny
    Thomas Z.

    Ordered chicken fried steak, oatmeal, hobo Benny, and french toast. We took the food 5 minutes away to a park to eat and it was already cold when we got there (except for the oatmeal). However still tasted good. Chicken fried steak I feel would have been really good if hot. Kids liked hobo Benny and french toast. Slightly above average restaurant

There is some street parking, but we ended up parking in a public parking lot north of the cafe. The place is cute and charming, and it's decorated with art that is for sale. The menu on the wall was just for drinks, and their food menu was laminated nearby for us to peruse. We had a nice chat with JJ (who I think is the co-owner), and he was very bubbly and nice. It was fun to witness his kindness to other customers and neighbors as they came in. This place seems very involved with the community. There are a few tables both outside and inside. The TV behind us was playing Pandora for radio music. Nearby, they had some free chocolate-covered coffee beans and your own water and silverware station. I got an Arnold Palmer, and boy, was it tart! I got my own sugar to try to sweeten it up. I also ate the Ricky Ricardo panini, and it wasn't my favorite. The aioli wasn't flavorful enough for me to notice, or maybe it was missing, and the pickles were too thick. I didn't love the flavor profile on this sandwich, and it was pretty hot (in temperature) to eat, so I had to let it cool down a bit. Connor loved his smoked salmon toast! There were a ton of capers, so lots of salt there. The herbed cream cheese was the star of the show, with the flavorful toast being a close second. He really appreciated it. I think I'd be happy to come back and try a different sandwich.

We nabbed a 50's retro dinette table complete with a disco mirror ball creamer table decor. My younger niece loved the mirror ball! I had steak salad, with blue cheese crumbles, crunchy romaine lettuce, fresh tomatoes and cucumbers topped with a creamy balsamic dressing. It came with toasted cheese bread on the side. Five stars! My older niece loves Reuben sandwiches so she had that with a side salad instead of fries. She said it was 5 stars. My younger niece had a grilled cheese with fries. She's a light eater but loved it. We carried half her meal home for later. Outstanding service, top quality food, and a fun atmosphere made it a special day after our visit to see the tulips. We highly recommend it. We were in and out in an hour but not rushed at all. Check out the Retro Diner! Their burgers and also breakfasts are outstanding too, as we eat there regularly. If you love milkshakes theirs are off the charts incredible. We were too full to get one after kettle corn and fudge before lunch while we strolled thru tulip fields. Also the outside is decorated with huge inflatable tulips so it's a great instagram selfie stop!

    How I really wanted to like this place but was massively disappointed and feeling honestly scammed…read moreout of my money: This is a tourist trap and not a beloved local restaurant like I thought it would be. The cafe was very busy when we arrived and had to wait about 20 minutes for an open table out on the deck. Due to how busy it was, I had high hopes that the food was good. Unfortunately it felt more catered to the one and done tourist - take their money with over priced mediocre food that certainly did not command either aesthetics or taste. What we ordered: 1. Fried calamari $18: this was the smallest portion on an appetizer plate with three calamari rings and a handful of what appeared to be minuscule tentacle pieces heavily battered to give the dish the appearance of "more". Bland and oily - nothing really outstanding here. 2. Captain's Platter $28: this was the most expensive item on the menu. I ordered it hoping that at least quantity wise it would be satisfying. It came with one fried piece of cod, one fried piece of halibut, four fried shrimp and fries. I have never eaten more bland fries in my life. They weren't even crunchy but soggy with oil as they laid under the fried fish, which likely was hurriedly plated on the fries without letting the oil drip off. The fish was overcooked for sure - the cod was so small that I was honestly offended. The shrimp - undercooked. 3. Strawberry lemonade $5: standard, on the sour side. The only pleasant thing I have to say is that the hostess and waitress were very sweet. They were definitely understaffed and I felt badly for them so I tipped well. But I would not go back and do not recommend - unless you like to waste your vacation money on this tourist trap.

Affordable lunch burger and a beer? Yup. Fancy date night romantic dinner with craft cocktails? Heck yeah. Combining a casual, marine-themed ambiance with quaint La Conner vibes, and adding in some truly delish food and drink, there are few places in the area I'd rather eat. My favorite here is their bouillabaisse, with big pieces of fish, half a fresh Dungeness crab, sausage, and all the goodness cooked in their house-made broth. All I can say is: try it. Their raw oysters are also a favorite, but I can't say I've ever had a bad dish here. One time I swung out and tried their pork chop, which was truly sent from heaven. Their wine list contains several affordable options - on one visit our group enjoyed two bottles of an exquisite rose. And if gin is in your repertoire, don't miss the Empress Aviation which is not only pretty to look at, but quite tasty as well. Their happy hour features incredible drink and appy discounts, including half price bottles of wine. And I'd be remiss not to mention their friendly, lovely service. We always feel special when we visit. What's not to love about The Fork? I'm officially hungry now!
