Stopped here for breakfast before heading over to see the tulip festival in Skagit Valley. Saw several cars parked in front, so you know it's where the locals go! No doubt it was indeed! It was a full house! Plenty of bar seating, booths and tables inside, and I like the classic old school diner vibes!Welcomed with a smile, we placed our name down and waited less than 5 minutes (yay!). Skimmed through their menu with so many options to choose from. I went with their country fried steak, which was massive but so savory and delicious nonetheless! My husband ordered their biscuits and gravy and enjoyed it just as much! Coffee for the hubz, and a hot chocolate for me! We were ready to start the day! CHEERS and happy eating till next time... read more

Orders are "food a plenty" !! The food is SO GOOD !! The service is great too!! So glad they're open more days now... Curt & Kathy Larson, Stanwood read more

Unsure of how I felt about this experience. My husband enjoyed his meal overall, but I ordered the French toast and wasn't sure of how I felt. Service was good overall. Wasn't my favorite French toast ever, but would definitely give this place another chance. The only thing is due to its popularity, the wait times can be great. read more

In town, HAD to stop in for breakfast. Great as always, see you next time I'm in town! read more

Wow this place is delicious! Dunno if it's cause it's St. Patty Day weekend or what but it was an hour wait so we sat at the bar which was no wait. I ordered a burger and a sunrise mimosa and my husband got the California hash! Such good food! We think this is one of the best diners we been to on this side of town. It's a pretty small spot. Food tastes great and my burger was on point! They even have a bake potato soup that is so delish! Service was great and we left stuffed! Will definitely return! Loved it! read more

This is the bomb for a fantastic breakfast. Excellent customer service Hint, get there early otherwise you'll be waiting. read more

I highly recommend this diner. Came here with my fiance the other morning and even though it was busy they got us seated and our order taken quickly. The food was massive for the price and even after ordering only half of what the original menu item was it still was huge. The food tasted amazing! They also have a paper that you can read about the diner and how it originated. Absolutely amazing staff, food and atmosphere! We'll definitely be coming back. read more

I am maintaining my 5 star rating. Great food! Friendly service! Family oriented! It never disappoints! First time having a burger here. I had the Rodeo Burger. It was very good because it had a perfect ratio of all the ingredients that came together. I would order it again. The Stilly Diner doesn't compare to the others. They maintain their excellence with top notch food and a cup of coffee that's always topped off. It's no wonder they're always busy. read more

These folks know what they are doing! Great organization, nice, pleasant servers. Menu was extensive and food was great. We're coming back! What more can I say? read more

The food was fantastic and a reasonable price. The staff was friendly and fast. It's got plenty of seating and a very clean atmosphere.

One of the best breakfast spots we've ever been to. Quality food, great service, local place - always busy but has the ability to reserve your spot online. Portions are pretty big and if you order anything other than a standard breakfast (2 eggs, potatoes, meat & toast) you will likely have leftovers. The omelets are pretty big. And the cinnamon roll is ginormous and delicious! I've had some of their lunch items as well which were also good. Great spot! read more

Fish and chips were excellent. Loaded French fries were a great choice as well as the loaded baked potato soup. Very attentive wait staff. Went for late lunch read more

Great place. The Stilly Diner is a boilerplate on how restaurants should be run. The staff is very kind and efficient to the MAX!! Always very clean. The food is delicious and arrives in a timely manner...which is pretty impressive considering the size of the portions. The bill always arrives on time and is very reasonable. Highly recommended!! read more

It's definitely a hometown diner, which I love. Very clean, wait staff was friendly. I had the loaded potato soup which was good but not great. My friend had a salad which was huge! The atmosphere is bright and it feels relaxing. read more

Visiting from California and we were in the area and hungry. Quickly found this place on Yelp and trusted my fellow Yelpers reviews. There was a wait on a random Thursday morning but that just meant it's going to be good. 10minute wait, lots of good stuff on menu but we opted for breakfast. Portions were large and everything was delicious. Service was great as well! read more

Great food & service. "THE PILE" was delicious. Too big to even get through 1/4, though. Friend loved his tuna melt. Although he asked for them to add hot sauce to it and they forgot. Friend was not a fan of the Louisiana Hot Links. - it was more so just a red rubbery hot dog..not what he was expecting. His potato bacon soup was brutal. It was thicker than their gravy. read more

Classic diner-style meals with generous portions and a fun, nostalgic vibe. The food is generally good and hits the spot, though it can be hit-or-miss depending on what you order. Service is friendly but sometimes slow during busy hours. Overall, it's an okay spot for a casual meal, just not consistent enough to stand out. read more

Terrific sandwiches and burgers, in my opinion the best fish and chips in town, I just love the beer dipped batter, (or is it tempura?...) My one and only complaint is the Stilly's country gravy, it's just terrible! Too thick, tastes like flour and if there's any sausage in it you could hardly tell. We will never order Stilly's country gravy again! The other food and the great service makes up for it so we won't miss the gravy. read more

Came here with a friend and ordered the Bacon, tomato and avocado Benedict. It was delicious. I also like that I can sub the hashbrowns for fruit to keep it lower in carbs since I follow a low carb diet. I found my new eggs Benedict spot. The coffee was great too. The waitress was polite and friendly. Definitely recommend and will definitely be back. read more

Forgot to take a pic, but I just had the best gluten free/dairy free pancakes! I also subbed the eggs for strawberries on top. It was sooo good! My hubby (who can eat everything) had the buffalo chicken burger. He said it was great! read more

We were just passing through when we got the recommendation to get breakfast. We were not disappointed. There was a bit of a line but we sat at the bar and had great service and an amazing breakfast! read more

From my family to yours... YOU ROCKED IT! Wow!! My family of four met for a holiday brunch today. I made a reservation before hand, so the wait was less than five minutes to be seated. The food came out quickly and it did not disappoint! Huge portions too (plenty of yummy leftovers for a lazy Sunday!) The staff was on point, happy faces and super courteous! We all loved the decor, plus this restaurant was CLEAN! For being a "greasy spoon" diner, there was no grease and dust pile up! I went home and fell into a fat puppy food coma and woke up three hours later. It was a good day with a stellar breakfast! Thank You Stilly Diner Staff! Keep up the great work!! read more

Finally got a chance to experience breakfast! without a 30+ min wait. Wow!!! Great food, Great waitresses and wonderful atmosphere ! read more

Driving from North Cascades we were hungry and it was well after lunch. Checking Yelp, the Stilly Diner sounded promising and was still open for an hour. I admit I was a bit shocked to find a line still waiting to get in. We decided it was worth the wait, fifth group in line, it took only about 20 minutes for tables to turn over. We decided to split a chicken, bacon, ranch wrap with fries and I had a cup of coffee. The coffee is roasted and ground locally and was delicious. The wrap was good. My wife didn't like all the chopped tomatoes, I wasn't thrilled with the overload of cold shredded cheddar cheese. Lightly grilling the tortilla would help melt the cheese and keep the chicken and bacon warmer as a balance to the vegetables and dressing. Still, I'm sure we would try it again if we had the chance. It was very good even with those caveats. Having the kitchen split the meal added $2, but presentation and the minimization of a fight over the delicious French fries made it very tolerable. The food is well worth a stop, and the serving staff are personable and professional. Those two things alway make a winning stop. read more

The food tasted amazing, and the service was beyond great! Even for being busy, they were walking by every 5 minutes and making sure we got plenty of refills! It was a retro style, mom and pop cafe, with a cozy ambiance to the place. I'd recommend this to anyone looking for a great new breakfast spot. I can't wait to become a regular here :) :) read more

As always, the food is great, as is the service. Highly recommended!! They have the BEST hash browns tooo!!

I stopped here for breakfast around 10 AM on a Thursday on the way to North Cascades National Park, and was surprised by how full the spot was -- clearly lots of regular locals and families. My friend and I shared MATT'S LOADED HASHBROWN PLATE ($16.99; hashbrowns with ham, bacon, sausage, onions, mushrooms, and cheddar -- omitted the green peppers), and a side of two eggs ($3.95). They also do half portions for a few dollars less, but splitting a regular plate is obviously better value, and was plenty for breakfast. This was pure comfort food, and made for a satisfying diner meal. The hashbrowns were nice and crispy, the meats and cheddar added great flavor, and the poached eggs mixed in well. The plate came with the choice of bread or a pancake, and the white bread we chose came nicely toasted and buttered. Overall, nothing particularly mind-blowing, but solid diner fare with a wealth of choices, a busy small-town atmosphere, and very reasonable prices given the portions. read more

One of the best breakfast locations in northern snohomish county. This place gets busy on the weekends which is just a sign of how good it is. Love their Eggs Benedict, Country Fried Steak, Omelets, and Hash-browns. The ambiance is pretty simple but they have made a decent attempt to decorate with diner type stuff. read more

I stopped by here as it was one of the few eateries open when I got here around 7 am. This place opens at 6 am which is great if you are passing through. Located in Arlington's downtown strip, there are plenty of street parking in the early hours. There is also a lot right across it. The diner is quite big with two sections and you can sit anywhere you like. It was busy when I was there, about 3/4 full. I guess this place saw many travelers passing through as well as the locals. Though I could not imagine bringing their families here so early at 6+ am for breakfast. I had coffee which was badly needed since I was already on the road from 5 am. Good thing it was refillable. I liked how the server asked if I wanted flavored cream when I requested for cream. I was more sleepy than hungry then so I just had a small order of the biscuit and gravy. It came with half biscuit, gravy, an egg, 2 sausage link or bacon, and choice of country potatoes or hashbrowns. The biscuit itself was not as good as the one at Lake Stevens, but it was still nice. The gravy was yummy. Overeasy egg was cooked well. The sausage links were skinny and hash browns nicely crisped. This portion is good if you are not a big eater. I struggled to finish it. Service was friendly and good here. This could be my go to place to break for coffee and breakfast in future when I am heading down to Seattle in future. Lots of other items in the menu which looked good too. Highly recommended! read more

We met some friends there that were traveling from out of state. I took advantage of their waiting list option and it worked out perfectly!! The food was wonderful and I had plenty of leftovers. I had the choice of meat omelette with the breakfast potatoes and a pancake for my side. My husband also had an omelette and just raved about the toast!! I was shocked he ordered it but he loved it!! It was a busy Friday late morning but our server was great and our food came in a timely manner. Can't wait to go back! read more

Fantastic food, service, great friendly small town atmosphere and will go back! My kids really enjoyed it as well and I had the most delish salad while they enjoyed fish n chips, cheeseburger etc... definitely not just "diner" type food, they do a wonderful job read more

Been here twice now, first time was an online order and second time we sat down at a table. This place stays BUSY. I placed an order online around 9:45am for the California hashbrown plate (10/10) and one biscuit and gravy plate (9/10 should've ordered more) and paid for it. Took about 15/20 minutes to get there and our food was ready! Like I said, BUSY. We walked up to the register, grabbed our food from the friendly staff, and walked out easy peasy. The food was HOT, DELICIOUS, and made me FERAL for more. I would absolutely recommend online ordering from here :) If you want to sit down, get there EARLIER or put your name on the list and walk around! We showed up around 9/9:30am as a party of 2 and waited about 30 mins. Not bad at all, we were like 6th on the list. There is a waiting area outside but they'll call your phone number when they're ready for you. The service was so quick we had our food within 10 minutes of sitting down! We ordered Eggs Benedict Florentine (9/10 I love spinach but they put a whole bag lol) and the perfect plate combo (9/10). Just like last time the food was hot, delicious, and made us feral for more. I would recommend this place online and inside! A winner!! read more

Old fashioned diner with excellent food and old school vibe. I will gladly eat there again.

Tried this diner for the first time today! Very attentive staff and a great menu. Place is old but quaint & clean. A lot of repeat customers. I chose the cheese omelette that came with a big pile of delicious hash browns that I selected ( other choices available) and a good sized fluffy pancake. Wife had the Belgium waffle that came with 2 delicious sausage links and two eggs. The food came promptly and hot & fresh. The OJ tasted fresh squeezed and coffee was good & bottomless. Prices very reasonable for the size We will be back. Worth the drive from Lake Stevens for a great breakfast! read more

Ordered a patty melt and it was dry (absolutely no sauce)and the burger patty was a cheep pressed patty. Hardly any onions on it. Paid extra for onion rings and only got maybe 6. Will stay with the bluebird cafe it is the best! read more

Great baked potato soup and biscuits! My mom loved the turkey pesto sandwich. Service was quick and friendly.

Came here for brunch on a Sunday. The wait was an hour long. They have gluten free pancakes and gluten free bread which is nice, because a lot of places don't offer that. My husband asked the server if the hash browns are gluten free (sometimes frozen hash browns come with a coating to keep from sticking-that coating usually contains gluten) and he said "should be". I didn't like that. He should have doubled check to make sure we didn't get sick. I avoided them just to be safe. Portions were fair, food was decent. I loved the bacon. It was thick and done great not too crispy. I'm never in the area, but if I am I'll keep this in mind due to the GF bread and pancake options. Also, idk what GF bread they use but it was one of the better ones I've had! read more
