We were on our continuing field trip to find the cutest port towns in Washington which took us to Port Gamble because (1) it's a super cute town and (2) it's home to the Olympic Outdoor Center (great for kayakers). We decided to try Whiskey and Waffles for lunch - which is a very nice looking restaurant with waffles next to the General Store and Cafe. Service was prompt and pleasant. We did not order any whiskey but did get the steak poutine and the smoked salmon waffle with poached eggs. Food service took a while (it was busy). The steak was ridiculously tender - very good. The goat cheese curds for the poutine were very good. The poutine dish was great! The salmon waffle was also very good - excellent smoked salmon on cream cheese on a waffle topped with eggs. The poached eggs were perfect. Both dishes were ones I would recommend. read more

My daughter, wife, and I stopped in for a late lunch on an August Saturday afternoon. A handful of tables were occupied, both inside and outside. We chose to sit inside because of dark clouds on the horizon. Turns out one of the owners sat us at a four-top. After a warm welcome and a little history on this new establishment, we settled in to review the menu. Of course, waffles are available all day, but other more pub-like options are available, including burgers, flatbread pizzas, and salads. My wife ordered a Belgian waffle and a drip coffee from their coffee bar. My daughter selected a pepperoni flatbread pizza. I chose a chicken Caesar salad. I was tempted by an IPA on tap but stuck with a glass of water. The inside dining area is pleasant. A gelato counter sits in the corner beside the coffee bar, along with a full-size bar. Nice views of the canal are available almost everywhere. There are a lot of hard surfaces, though, and sounds bounce off floors and walls, creating a noisier environment. Despite this, we could comfortably carry on our conversations. My wife's waffle arrived with fresh berries. She thought it tasted like a waffle ice cream cone but in a good way. I thought my daughter's pizza looked inviting and fresh. She enjoyed it but ended up taking half home. It would probably be a good dish to share. My salad came with warm sliced chicken breast and was yummy. It was a generous portion with crunchy croutons. I was the last to finish, but I cleaned my plate. Service was pleasant and attentive. I thought the prices were reasonable. We will certainly return to try some other dishes and perhaps an IPA. read more

I don't get to Port Gamble nearly enough despite driving by a million times for the last 30 years. I am now planning to stop off more, I really appreciate the easy free parking, its a good place to stretch your legs and lots of cute stores/food & drink to check out. Plus who doesn't enjoy looking out at the water on a summer day. The name of this restaurant did not really appeal to me, but I heard it was newer and the menu looked appetizing. It has a nice front deck patio for those good weather days, but lots of space inside as well for when it is not so nice. I did not peruse the whiskey or the waffles, but did notice they had a full bar. We had a couple alcoholic beverages off the menu and they were tasty. Lots of coffee options available too. I really appreciate the varied menu options, on this visit I was very happy with my couscous salad, I wish more places would offer this. I absolutely love chickpeas, artichokes and olives so this was perfect for me. My dining partners shared a flatbread and thought it was tasty. On my next visit I might try the veggie burger, thanks for offering beyond. I'd love if there was a veggie breakfast option one day. Prices seem comparable these days. Service was friendly. read more

We came for breakfast and it was pretty busy. We did not have a reservation but didn't wait long to be seated. I'd say if you have more than 4 people in your party that you should make a reservation. They have indoor and outdoor seating with a view of the water. The inside is open and bright with a full bar. There are specific times for breakfast and lunch/dinner menus. There were 3 people in my party and we did wait over 30min to get our food. I got the smoked salmon eggs Benedict and it was delicious. Very flavorful. I would get it again. I'd say it's worth the wait if you are prepared to wait. Staff were very friendly. They also had a large variety of gelato. I was hesitant to get any due to the bright colors they were. If I go back I'd try one that didn't have the added colors. Is it worth the drive?...yes read more

Whiskey And Waffles - Taken off the outside eating area - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Port Gamble, Washington

In a touristy area, I wasn't expecting the food to be as good as it was. This is not a taurus trap restaurant. The atmosphere is nice and open and the staff was very friendly. It was bright and vibrant with a great view of the water. All of the food tasted very fresh. I ordered the eggs Benedict special that came with country potatoes. The potatoes were fresh and didn't taste like they had been sitting under a warmer for a long time. It was phenomenal! They have a full bar. If you have a sweet tooth like me, they have a good variety of gelato. I'll have to visit that next time. read more

Underwhelmed. Generous 3 stars for good service and location/views. The menu is not that complicated and there is gelato (which can be purchased without dining). Everything took a lot of time to come out of the kitchen. The burger was ordered medium and came out well done (burned). The chicken and waffles is flavorful but very greasy. Waffle is undercooked. Salad was ok. Didn't have a cocktail. The water was wet. Again people are nice. read more

Surprisingly good lunch for such a "cute touristy" looking place. Had the Pepperoni Flatbread and the Caesar salad, and both were quite good. My wife was very happy with her Salmon Waffle as well. Service was quite good; very friendly, and the outdoor seating is great if you have a dog as well. Definitely more than what you'd expect, and worth a visit. read more

Great location and live the fact that it has outside seating and umbrellas. Also ample seating inside. Both features are wonderful-view outside is very nice with picturesque water. Wait staff is wonderful and friendly. Great local beer from Rainy Daze and our friend had a whiskey which he enjoyed. The drawbacks would be the waffles. They were good but not great. The banana topping ran down the middle of the waffle but was not served with syrup. We had to ask and it did arrive and was hot, the same held true for the waffle with strawberry compote, our friends ordered the waffle fries and fish which they said was better. Mixed reviews from our crew/ read more

Great food, love the atmosphere, great selection of beer on tap, go, you won't be disappointed. Also, nice ice cream parlor for those just wanting an ice cream. Looking forward to our return. Service was friendly and perfect- great suggestions. read more

Great experience today after the Anne of Green Gables matinee at PGT. The place was hopping, but the crew was friendly and on point! The food and drinks were great. Gelato was wonderful, too. Noisy, but fun and festive. Really nice. Thank you! read more

Wow! What a great find for breakfast! Went on a Sunday morning. Was a bit full, but able to find a table. Got waters right away, but had a wait to order. An extra server would have been helpful, as the others were busy running around. Placed orders and food came out pretty quickly. The eggs Benedict were great! Plenty of sauce and the eggs perfectly runny! The smoked salmon Benedict was delicious. Tons of smoked salmon. And the homestyle potatoes were nice and crispy. Strawberry waffle came with a very strawberry-y compote. And good biscuits and gravy. Nice and airy inside, with plenty of outdoor seating for summer. This is a great find with great food! Can't wait to try lunch! read more

Stopped in for breakfast on a weekend trip. What a little gem! Coffee was amazing and my strawberry waffles were fresh and crispy. My friend has the breakfast sando and commented on how fresh the eggs tasted. Clean, charming atmosphere, sweet and friendly employees! Fresh, amazing food and clean bathrooms! read more

We love visiting the cute small town of Port Gamble and have been to this spot when it was different restaurants throughout the years. Whiskey and Waffles has done a beautiful job turning the space into a bright and welcoming space to enjoy a meal. Our server was friendly and attentive. We enjoyed waffles (Belgium, Banana Pecan) , a side of bacon, and American Breakfast as well as a cup of coffee. The place had the most inviting smell of waffles. We enjoyed everything, the bacon being the only item that was not anything special. We are definitely tempted to go back to enjoy their flatbread pizzas and gelato. read more

Chicken & Whiskey has a cute atmosphere with a great view, and the staff was friendly and attentive. Overall, the service was a positive part of the experience. I visited for breakfast and found the food a bit underwhelming. The eggs were quite greasy, and the hash browns were just okay. On the positive side, the biscuit was good, and the fruit was fresh. Not a bad experience overall, but the food didn't quite live up to the setting and service. read more

Food was great. My wife liked her kale salad. I had eggs Benedict. They were okay. My grandson loved his strawberry waffles. It was very busy so service was a bit slow. Servers were attentive and prompt. read more

We love driving through this Port Gamble neighborhood on our way to the peninsula. On our last trip, we were pleasantly surprised to discover that the cafe next to the General Store had re-opened! The outdoor patio area has an amazing view, and is also dog-friendly. (The staff is also very dog-friendly!) I had the smoked salmon waffle, which was great. The waffle was not dry, had a great savory flavor, and the dill sauce was top-notch. (My wife said it had a bit too much dill for her taste, but I really loved it.) We've added this to our "Always Stop Here and Eat" list. The view, the service, the food -- all created an enjoyable and relaxing experience. Looking forward to our next trip there! read more

Husband and I both ordered the chicken and waffles. The chicken was crispy but really greasy. It was a piece of boneless chicken thigh, no bone on chicken. The waffles were the most disappointing piece. With waffles in the name of the restaurant, we were hoping for amazing waffles. Unfortunately, they were soft and chewy, not crispy on the outside and soft inside. Service was good and super attentive and the inside was very cute and inviting. read more

Ordered chicken and waffles and a side of country potatoes. Beautiful presentation and good service but the flavor profile was uninspiring, boardering on bland. Love locally and happy we tried it but in no rush to come back. Maybe for a cocktail. read more

First time here and was not disappointed! The food was incredible. The interior and exterior look amazing. The remodel was done very well. Service was top notch! I had the American breakfast. Boy was it good. Bacon was delicious the homemade biscuit was soooo perfection, eggs cooked right , hash browns were crispy. Yum. My grandson had the strawberry waffle and I couldn't help but take bites. Sooo good. Also, I didn't know it was open so late and they do dinner service which is great because it has a lovely bar!! I'm looking forward to coming back and trying it out. read more

My fiancé and I had a great time visiting this restaurant when we were in the area. The food was delicious and creative. Wish I had the chance to order a cocktail because the bar was beautiful, but will just have to visit again! read more

A lil wait, but worth it! Delicious food n perfect quantity. Great customer service! A do over for sure!

We visited for Father's Day brunch and had a wonderful experience. The waitress steered me toward the chicken and waffles with hot honey, and it absolutely lived up to the recommendation. delicious, indulgent, and packed with flavor. My husband ordered the veggie burger with a Caesar salad and really enjoyed it. The Bloody Mary was equally impressive, garnished with olives and asparagus and full of flavor. Beautiful atmosphere, dog-friendly deck, and incredibly friendly service. We got lucky with an outdoor table, but reservations seem like a good idea. Looking forward to returning. read more

How could Port Gamble get any cuter? With the addition of W&W of course! Went paddle boarding in the bay and then sat on the patio for a snack. Excellent whiskey sour with fresh citrus and the most amazing smoked salmon waffle I've ever tried. What an amazing addition to the area! read more

Finally-biscuits and gravy on the menu. Or should I say "biscuit". Came with hashbrowns which were perfectly crisp. The sausage in the gravy is very plain, but good. The biscuits are better than your gramma's. Add a cup of coffee and two eggs on top and I paid over $30 (plus tip) for my breakfast. If you are on vacation, stop in. Service is superb, I was served within 10 minutes (maybe three other parties present). The views are great, as is the history of the town. The gelato is a must. But if you want a quick and inexpensive breakfast, skip this one. If they are to survive the winter (i.e. relying on local dollars) they will need to start catering to the locals, who have a several less costly options, though not in Port Gamble proper. The owner was asking all the customers for feedback, this was mine. read more

We started breakfast with classic eggs Benedict (a great chef-litmus-test) and the Hollndaise sauce is authentic and great. Ambiance is great , staff is friendly, the view magnificent and we just don't want to leave now. The owner came to check on us and gave us fascinating rundown on the history of this beautiful old building that's been authentically renovated. Definitely on the list of "must go to" spots. read more

$50 coffee!!! We waited well over an hour for a meal that never arrived. Was charges $50 for a cup of coffee! Never going back here - discussed with whole affair. This was the worst service we ever experienced. Never got any food, so no idea if meal here would have been any good. When we left, the wait staff claimed the meal was ready, however, that was of no help to us as they didn't bother to serve the meal. Be aware that dinning here may be a all day operation, This restaurant makes no effort to accommodate time constraints. I CAN NOT RECOMMEND THIS RESTAURANT. read more

We ate breakfast here on 8/6/26 and the food was great, staff were friendly and helpful. One of the owners, Mike, checked in with us at our table to make sure we were pleased with our meal. Nice restaurant near the water. read more

Excellent waffles in a great, picturesque setting with a friendly staff. Nice selection of menu and bar items. Now my favorite breakfast restaurant in the area. read more

We have been to Whiskey and Waffles twice and both times the service and food was excellent. I ordered the eggs benedict with hollandaise sauce and it was delicious, and we also ordered a waffle for the table that everyone split, also delicious. The newly remodeled space in really nice, and walking around the historic mill town of Port Gamble after breakfast was a wonderful finish to the morning. read more

Food was delicious! Services was great! It made for an enjoyable date night. We will be back

what a disappointment. waffles were average at best and overpriced very noisy. environment even though it was half empty. mediocre coffee way overpriced. probably won't go back. too bad. it's a great location. staff was very nice. read more

I went opening weekend with my parents and immediately knew this was not what this area needed. Very disappointing to see such a gimmicky and poorly executed vision take up prime space in a small area. Waffles are mediocre and over priced. Concept is scattered and confusing. Setting is uncomfortable and loud. Patronize the Port Gamble General Store for lunch next door instead. read more

We have been there twice now and are going again tomorrow with some out of town guests. The setting is so picturesque and the food is quite tasty and the servers and owners are super nice. What a great addition to Port Gamble. Highly recommend!!! read more

Stopped for breakfast on vacation. The wait staff was very attentive. The waffles have the nicest texture and the flavor is great. The sausage was wonderful. Eggs were cooked to perfection for someone who is very picky about their eggs. We had a nice chat with one of the owners as well. Definitely worth a visit. read more

The service was great and honored a couple of requests. Food was good and the American Breakfast was superb. Modern atmosphere and connected to the general store. They also have gelato you can get an up front and head out to picnic tables around Port Gamble. read more

Whiskey & Waffles had them both and they were GREAT! The ambiance is beautiful and the service is amazing! Highly recommend this restaurant

Service was friendly and attentive. View is amazing. Stick to the waffles maybe... I got 'clam' chowder, that was more carrot based than expected and not so notable on clams. I also got a ceaser salad. It was really big but didn't have enough dressing and croutons... I didn't have coffee but it looks like they are extraordinarily well equipped. read more
