Channel Marker Pub & Grill

A chill place with a solid selection of games. Service is a little spotty being on and off, generally friendly but feels a bit unattentive. I was clowned on for ordering the Beef Stroganoff but it was fine. Maybe they use hamburger helper to make it, but it tastes fine, especially if you're just hungry at the end of the day. Price is fair too, but again, maybe low quality ingredients. I will take some blame for my choice of food, so I can't just rag on them. Plus, you come here for cheaper drinks too, not the food.Beef Stroganoff - no mushrooms off the bat, so that's noticeable. Egg noodles are firm but not terrible. Looks a bit unappetizing but tastes fine. Definitely had better but who else orders Beef Stroganoff? Garlic bread was very good though! Wish I had more of that. No pictures exist here so I got y'all.

A friend of mine suggested this place and so we headed on over after I got out of work. The place was packed when we walked in. When we walked in, there was no hostess stand - it's a first come first serve situation. I asked a waitress if we should just sit anywhere, and she said yes. We had to sit at a table that hadn't been cleared yet. No worries - they were busy. After we saw a (different) waitress in this section greet and get drinks for some people that walked in after us (2 other tables actually) we started to realize we would not be getting helped by her.So, we noticed a spot opened up at the bar. We asked the first waitress if we could sit there and she said of course! She let us know Morgan (bartender) would be helping us.Morgan is a busy woman. We watched her multitask at another level!! Not only was she able to check on orders in the kitchen, cash people out, get pull tabs, and remember our orders, but she did it all while pouring drinks at the same time. She also apologized if she felt something was taking too long.Once we ordered - everything came out fast. The steak was cooked exactly as ordered (sorry I didn't get a pic!) and the chicken gizzards and Caesar salads were pretty good as well.If you're looking for a solid bar and grill with some reasonable prices - and you're not afraid of a little divey atmosphere - then this is a win.If you're lucky, Morgan will be your bartender. We tipped her well - I hope she lets that waitress that ignored us know that ;)

Typical pub with lots of space. The crowed ranged from senior citizens, who were all congregated to one side of the bar, to younger people on the other side. The night I came, there were no bouncers. Maybe they show up just for the weekends? I could tell that this place gets packed when there's a game. I came here for a work function so I couldn't get too crazy. I had a glass of red wine (don't order wine in a pub) lol. Then followed with some Guinness. For food, I got the onion rings and fried chicken wings with their special spicy sauce. I didn't see the big deal about the sauce. It was just ok to me. I'm never in this part of Edmonds, so I doubt I would come back. If invited by friends then I wouldn't mind.

Friday night, not overly packed. The staff was friendly and service was decent despite the silly forgetfulness. The food was surprisingly tasty and above my expectations for a bar. We were able to get a table at the dart area and there were cool people playing next to us. The environment felt safe and relaxing. Plenty of fun things to do including darts, pool, pinball, golden tee video game. First time in and we really enjoyed ourselves. We will be back!

Not sure why there isn't more 5 stars for here.The service was quick and friendly. Full bar and lots of choices for beer.Inside has lots of space between the tables and has pool tables. Lots of choices in the tv.Nachos were crisp, plenty of cheese and fresh jalapeños (vs the mushy pickled ones). Guac and salsa were very flavorful.The chili burger was so good! Plenty of great chili, cheese and onions.Will come back again.

I have been here a few times over the pandemic and have really enjoyed it. Parking has only been difficult once (but things are more open now). Although they had a nice tent set up in their outdoor patio for winter I am glad to be back inside. Food has always been good. They have fantastic side salads and I love their seafood. I recently came in for their two for one steak and although it was overcooked for me (I like it medium rare) it still had good flavor. Drinks are average. Overall will definitely be back!

Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey hey goodbye...If you find yourself humming this tune you'll feel like I did at the Channel Marker. Large, loud and packed on Tuesday trivia night our foursome took the only vacant seats at the pull tab bar. I'm feeling lucky. It took 30 minutes to share one menu and receive a ginger beer. 20 minutes later I had the soft taco special served to me @$6.95No surprises here. Lettuce, cheese, tomato and chicken rolled and centered on a checkered paper. Fresh and bland. You can add bottled hot sauce. Trivia is fun. Na na na na, goodbye.

We've been coming here for over a year mostly because we love the fried chicken wings and it's quiet enough to be able to talk.A couple weeks ago we came on a Thursday night. Much to our surprise it was karaoke night. What a horrible evening! Loud, people singing off key and mostly just yelling in the microphone. We swore we would never come back. Found out there are new owners and they do karaoke on Thursday and Sunday nights. Do we guessed we can come on the other nights. So here we are in a Friday night. Replay of the Mariner's game was on. No loud "singing". This is the way it should be, at least in our book. By the way, I had the mushroom burger without the bun, cheddar instead of Swiss, side salad with Ranch. I also had Riesling glass of wine. Husband had a regular cheese burger, also with a salad. Glad to be able to order keto meal in a bar!

I've been coming here for years. They've always had some great food specials, always friendly staff, and a fun place to go. I would have always given it a 4 or 5 star rating. I have always enjoyed and recommended The Channel Marker.However, the last couple times I've showed up in the last 3 weeks haven't been so good. In fact, last night we waited almost 15 minutes to get served and then 50 minutes to get our food. Everything we got was cold.......even the baked potato. My wife said she doesn't want to come back. The staff was apologetic, but it turns out that there is new ownership in the last few weeks and half the staff has quit. That's not a good sign and I only hope they can figure out what's wrong before it buries them. It's always been a wonderful place to go, but I will have to give it 2 stars since the ownership change. Good luck........pick it up.........

Been a very regular diner at this place since 2008 in both locations. Went with 3 friends last week and was sorely disappointed. Only four tables full in dining room and our orders were not taken for over 20 min. Then our orders took 25 min to come. Fish and chips were greasy and seemed like they had been under a heat lamp for a long time. Jojos were not crisp at all and much smaller than in past.French dip was filled with very dry meat and was lukewarm..in the past these meals were always good quality. I guess i should have noticed that there was not a single employee there that i was familiar with. What a shame to see such a dependable restaurant sink low. I might try it one more time to see if this was a fluke. I fear new ownership has ruined one of Edmonds' most dependable casual eateries.
