The best mushroom Swiss burger I've ever eaten. And I've had quite a few. Small town diners are the best. Fast service too and super friendly wait staff read more

They have the diner feel of this restaurant down very well. It is a mom and pop place that just had a good feel to it. Portion sizes are huge and the food is good, not Michelin star worthy yet decent food for what and where it is. Have been here 5 to 6 times and each time is the same, consistent food and consistent service. The wait staff here is very good. read more

We love to stop at local diners. We were not disappointed. Burgers big and juicy. Philly steak sandwich excellent. Definitely recommend

Likely family run down home diner with hard working folks serving very good food in hardy servings. In this type of establishment, coffee is important to me. If it was fabulous, I would easily add another star. Plenty of parking and the friendliest folks. read more

The Smokestack Diner - Done very right: turkey bacon avocado with fries. Terrific - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Everson, Washington

We found this diner on Yelp and the reviews were legit. We decided to try crossing the border via Sumas instead of the usual Peace Arch crossing to see if it would be a shorter wait. Somehow it still took over an hour on a weekend morning. We were hungry and came here for a late breakfast or brunch on our way towards Bellingham. Everson is a small town and this diner is very popular. Parking is available in the lot. The diner was almost full house and we had to wait for the staff to clear the table. The menu was typical diner fares with specials on the board. I ordered the country fried steak and eggs with sourdough toast and it was so good! One of the better ones I had in ages. Best to have it when hot. I tend to be a slow eater and towards the end I was so full and the meat was also cool by then. Not as nice. So I didn't force myself to finish it. I tried a bit of the fried clams from my friend's po'boy sandwich. That was really nice too. Freshly fried and hot and crispy. The service was a bit slow as it was just so busy. We were not in a hurry so it didn't bother us much. I would return here to try other items if I am in this area again. Oh there is a discount if paying in cash. read more

A nice diner located right after the Sumas boarder. Yelper friend C and I came here for brunch. Their portion size are quite big. When we arrived, the place was pretty much a full house. There are not a lot of options if you want lean meat like Chicken. They do have some healthy options like veggies omelet etc. I ended up getting the fried clam Po Boy sandwich. I arrived 10:30 and lunch doesn't start until 11 am but the chef was nice to make an exemption. The Bo Boy was very delicious and everything was made fresh. Portion size was big. I had my meal side upgraded from fries to salad. The salad had almost everything from bacon, croutons, cheddar cheese, olives etc. I was thinking it would be a skimpy house side salad and I was wrong. The place is not fancy but they do have good food. C ordered the country fried steak and egg. She said it was delicious and she too could not finish it. Parking is free and there are plenty of parking spots in front of the restaurant. I do recommend trying if you have not been. read more

Food was delicious, service was friendly and efficient and the historic building added to the experience.

I met a friend for breakfast. I ordered my standard "test-a-diner" meal: Chicken fried steak. It was as well executed. I ordered a biscuit instead of toast and extra gravy. The gravy was good. Nice flavor and chunkiness. The waitress was very nice. I asked for cream for my coffee. The only quibble I had was that I had to ask for cream, but that's not worth a "star". The bench was texturally challenged with new loose vinyl. Overall, would recommend. read more

Food was very good; it's a faithful representation of a diner. Aside from that: Interior - sketchy Exterior - sketchy Bathrooms - super sketchy Service- adequate read more

Standard American fare for good price. Pumpkin pie was amazing, now trying the banana cream pie. Sat down with the family and ordered to go on second trip. Small town treasure! read more

What a fantastic place. I have never had a bad meal here. Service is fantastic and the food is not to be missed. From the Po boy to the French dip... I am thankful to have this place to eat at! The prices are good and relativity to the quality and quantity of food that you get. read more

My husband and I stopped in this hometown diner last Friday on our way to Canada for a weekend getaway, we won't ever stop here again. The food was ok, nothing to rave about. The waitress could be heard the entire visit bad mouthing the owners to other patrons, presuming locals. My husband stepped outside for a cigarette after eating an fell in a sinkhole in the parking lot, which he reported to the waitress, her comment wasn't favorable to the property owner. When driving back through town on Sunday my husband noticed the hole was bigger and no safety cones or barrier were placed around sinkhole, which is an extreme hazard. And the men and womens bathrooms were disgusting! Where's the Health Department, cause this building has seen better days. To end this review I'd like to add, it seems good help is hard to find. read more

Great meals, great staff, great owners. Great all around. Only thing I would say is that in my opinion, they need new booths. I find them to be so uncomfortable, that I always use stool at the counter. Otherwise great place to eat read more

Hash browns were good, crispy and done. Eggs were OK. I've had better ham. Sausage gravy wasn't up to par. But put them all together cowboy style (stacked) and I've never had a better meal! Well worth the drive to Everson. Yee Hahhhh! read more

Delicious burgers and desserts and friendly prices. We were too full to eat dessert at the restaurant, so each order3d a piece of cream pie to go. This is now our favorite pie source, even though we have to drive 30 minutes to get there. read more

We spotted this cute spot on our drive through from Canada and it was a breakfast win! You know you've ordered the right thing when the waitress makes an approving comment and my husband loved his Jalapeno omelette. My french toast was good, my daughter enjoyed her pancakes very much, the coffee was bottomless and wifi was free. Adorable family running the show, here. Enjoy! read more

Great Eggs' Benedict. Consistently get the eggs cooked to perfection. Fast, friendly service. Photos of early Everson are great. Also checkout the wall thickness and overhead joists, to accommodate the thousands of gallons of milk processed and stored there in the past. KAS, MD,PhD read more

This place is real good. We threw them a curveball and showed up for breakfast with a large group. They handled it like champs even with only one cook and one server. Food came out quick, was super tasty and our server was LEGIT my fave. Super kind and hilarious. I give this place 10/10. Nice, crispy hash browns and perfect bacon! read more

The pancakes are just pancakes, but the French toast is something special! Upon entering, Smokestack Diner looks like it might be candidate for "Kitchen Nightmares". A little run down, not very well decorated, not super welcoming, and the staff "kind of" following pandemic protocol. The service is friendly and attentive without being annoying. Missing sides were quickly obtained and coffee cups frequently refilled. The kitchen, which is in view from main dining, is manned by two very hard-working masked gentlemen. They get presentable and delicious food prepared quickly. My pancakes were huge, but nothing extraordinary. The French toast was spectacular! Perfectly delicious with the perfect amount of cinnamon. If you're out and about, wanting to try something new, check out Smokestack. I'll definitely be back for French toast. read more

When we eat in Everson/Nooksack area this is our favorite...Love the service, love the food. (Smokestack special) my favorite and it's always as good as I expect it to be. Highly recommend***** read more

Everything is delicious, you can't go wrong! Along with great food, they have lots of yummy pies too.

I have lived in Everson for about 3 and a 1/2 years and I've eat there twice and both times it was average nothing special I do have to say that I've never eaten inside we always got take out so maybe if you sat down inside and tried the food and it was warmer more freshly made. The take out was just average. read more

Nice hometown American style cafe. Unique menu selection full of traditional favorites. I chose the Reuben Sandwich served on marbled toasted rye bread and lots of corn beef, sauerkraut, cheese etc. Delicious deep fried onion rings served on the side. Atmosphere depicted that this restaurant is a local family favorite. Very reasonably priced. They are well known locally for their great burgers. Service was as you would expect in a proud hometown establishment, warm, friendly and efficient read more

Their food is AWESOME!! It's just so dang good! The staff is always very nice and friendly. I eat here quite often and it never falls short of excellent. Order the Ramen- it's kind of a secret!! read more

This is a fantastic breakfast joint! The building is aged with nothing special about it, but the food is great! I have ordered almost everything off of the breakfast menu and I've explored a few of the lunch options. Nothing I've ordered has disappointed. Their hash brown sandwich is my go to "hangover food". I highly recommend eating here. read more

You have to look for this place on Main Street. Is is almost at the end of town in what looks like a disused office building. So nothing to look at but the food is amazing. Had sandwiches with onion rings. All freshly cooked, not greasy and plenty of it. Will come here the next time we are in the locale. read more

Came in for breakfast, we are new to the area and trying a lot of new places. Definitely a small town diner feel. The smell is musty, the carpet is plastered to the floor with what I can only imagine is decades of dirt, grease, and sweat. You can almost tell the carpet used to be blue if you look closely at the floor near the diner bar. Very small kitchen, there was only one waitress and one cook on duty when we arrived but before our order came out another chef and 2 waiters clocked on. Despite the small kitchen and singular chef, our food came out in a decent amount of time. We got basic breakfast meals, scrambled eggs with bacon, hashbrowns and toast for me; over-medium eggs, bacon, sausage link, hashbrown and English muffin for him. The bacon and sausage were great, but everything else was ridiculously bland. No seasoning whatsoever applied to eggs or hash. My toast was barely buttered, and very thin slices for sourdough. His eggs were cooked correctly, but again no seasoning at all. In fact the only flavor we actually tasted was the taste of what we both described as taco seasoning? And it was coming from the bottom of the food that was touching the plate or was on the pan. We wondered if maybe the cook was not cleaning the dishes properly between services and we got the residue from another customers order; the special of the day was breakfast tacos after all. I got an iced tea to drink, he got an Italian ice. Flavor was fine with both, but it was $3 for the Italian ice and it was what you would consider a small at the coffee shops and half filled with whip cream (which is an extra charge). All in all the bill came to $34 for a very bland and disappointing experience. The server was attentive and kind, but the place looks horrid and filthy, and there is no reason to not season the food or wash the pans between tables. We could have easily gone to the Birch Door in Bellingham for the price we paid and had a much better time. Lesson learned, we will not be back. read more

We love this diner. We tend to always think about going here before anywhere else. So far breakfast

Have only had the breakfast food here but it is great! Great home style bacon, great chicken fried steak with cream gravy, & great home fries. I do wish the pancakes were a less done but they were still delicious & huge. The place doesn't look like much but it was all very clean (which is what I care about). I loved it because it was just great home cooking & it was reasonably priced. We will definitely be returning! read more

Stopped in for Sunday breakfast. I had the eggs benedict and my friend had the French toast. The eggs benedict was good although the hollandaise sauce was obviously packaged and thick and gloppy. My friends French toast was supposed to be Texas toast and it wasn't and it had copious amounts of cinnamon that was off-putting. The wait staff was wonderful. The restaurant itself was clean however it needed maintenance like lights replaced and things like that. Would I go there again? Let me say I wouldn't not go there but it wouldn't be a destination for me. read more

We had breakfast this morning with a party of 14, 5 children and 9 adults. It was probably one of the nicest meals I've had out in a long time. The staff was so accommodating, we were all served our meals at the same time and the food was hot. Everything was tasty, and I would go back in a heartbeat. Thank you for making this such a great dining experience. read more

Great little diner, great staff, easy going and polite. A family owned and true family restaurant. Service is always excellent, even when they accidentally give you onion rings instead of fries (both equally excellent)! read more
