Acme Diner

Wow! I'm startled by how healthy and delicious this lunch is. So much more than I was expecting from the "quick pit stop for lunch on my way somewhere else" experience. And the valley is spectacularly beautiful

This spot was on my way back from a strenuous hike up north. It is definitely out of the way for any near by large town, that's for sure. If it is on your route, and you're craving a good size burger, then make sure to stop here.When you walk in, you see a retro diner bar and that's where I sat. There was plenty of booth seating as well if you want something more comfy. I arrived on an early Friday afternoon so it wasn't too busy.The service was great although the food took a little while and there was really no one there. I think they forgot to put my order. As soon as I got it, it was worth the wait. Amazing in every bite. Juicy and tasty. I would stop here again if I'm ever in town.

I am a diner fan in general so when I was looking for a spot to eat a late breakfast or early lunch on our drive from Edison to Mt Baker and saw the rave reviews for this place, I was pumped! Comments about this area being a restaurant desert is accurate and one review saying this diner is worth a drive out of the way sold me on this place out of a few other options! Luckily this was exactly on our way. This diner is so cute and clean, the staff was so nice, and the food was delicious! They even let me add cheese and onions to my hashbrowns! I would return if ever in the area again!

This is a must do. The food is homemade from scratch.Our group of 4 all had their acme cheeseburger. Legit awesome. A salted caramel shake (I know it seems expensive but there's SO MUCH)!Raspberry pie If you're ever driving through Acme stop by

Lots of seating, large selection, friendly staff. Was worth the drive from Anacortes and a place to visit after hiking at Mt Baker.

Here's the thing about Acme diner- it's located in a restaurant desert and unless you are a local you have to be really dedicated to diner food to drive all the way out to this secluded valley to have a burger. The drive is beautiful though and the food is definitely worth the extra mileage on your car.We had the Acme burger and a chicken taco salad. The burger was thick and handmade with two huge rashers of bacon and a chunk of real cheddar melted over the juicy patty, a delicious departure from fastfood.My taco salad was a bowl full of yumminess. Fresh greens topped with grilled chicken, shredded cheddar, black olives, grape tomatoes, crisp jalapeños and tortilla chips. It comes with salsa and sour cream but I added thousand island dressing because I'm weird that way.Now on to the real reason for driving a little bit out of our way- the homemade pie! Tonight's selection was Banana cream, Coconut cream, Strawberry cream, Strawberry-rhubarb, Dutch raspberry, Blackberry and All American Apple. (I might have missed a pie but you get my point, they have a lot of pie. Unfortunately no Lemon Meringue which makes me more tempted to come back because that's my favorite) Both our pie choices were excellent and definitely better than any store bought pie, in fact they rivaled mom's pies- almost...Service was fast and friendly. It's a family joint and everyone seemed to know everyone else, it was a good feeling. Go the extra mile or two and visit Acme Diner you won't regret it.

Came to Acme on our way to Mt. Baker. It was a long long long drive to even get to Acme from where we were coming from. We came here on a recommendation from a family member that had been here before. Love the inside of this place!! It gave like a western/70's vibe? It also had a bar section in the back area. Our waitress was great and gave us information about their menu. A lot of the their ingredients are local. I decided to get the veggie omelet and LOVED IT! I forgot what everyone else got but I do remember these HUGE blue berry pancakes that my bf and his mom got. Dannnng if I could have those everyday it be very dangerous for my health lol They were fluffy and crispy and the blueberries were sweet! amazing food here honestly. I definitely reccomend coming here if you are In the area on your way to mt baker or just on your way north lol

So glad we made the drive from birch bay. Amazing food, our waitress was fantastic. Very clean establishment Will come back soon with friends

Friendly service; hot, generous servings; the diner experience at its finest!I had the corned beef hash and eggs, my husband had one of the skillets. He got a homemade biscuit with his food which stole the show!I didn't get to have any of the biscuit because I'm gluten-free, but they do offer gluten free toast.They'll even turn the gluten free bread into French toast if you like, but I didn't ask about whether the batter would be free from cross-contamination. The pies looked lovely but alas, not gluten free either. The place was clean and well kept, and the photography on the walls was beautiful interspersed with the usual diner decor.Overall a lovely experience worth taking a leisurely drive for.

The 50s style diner decor is fun. The food has always been good for me when I've gone here and the staff is friendly and kind. The desert case is always full, breakfasts are tasty and a full bar to top it off makes this a great little place to stop.
