Elger Bay Cafe

Been taken over by new folks, and it is pretty good. Ordered a burger, fries, and a shake. The shake was hand dipped using real ice cream. The burger was tasty and the service friendly and efficient. Certainly be going back.

Don't the people who live here need to eat?Took an afternoon trip on the motorcycle, drove through Stanwood mid-afternoon, and hungry, figuring I'd find a restaurant on Camano. You know, a clam and mussel shack on the water, like the 50 such places on Whidbey. I was wrong! The people here don't eat, as near as I can tell, and they're just plain old not set up for tourists. Get near the waterfront, and you're faced with signs saying "Private! Keep Out! We're talkin' to you, Bill! Nothing for you here!".So a few miles in, I told myself I'd just eat at the first place I found. Hello, Elger Bay Cafe! A bacon cheeseburger and a cup of clam chowder, and I was happy. Ok, so the cheeseburger was a little overcooked, and the clam chowder was more Campbell's than local. Still, that's pretty much exactly what I expected seeing the place from the main road, and to be honest I would've been shocked if it'd been any different. Perfectly good diner grub. I really don't know about the negative reviews, but if I lived here, maybe I'd go stir crazy for a proper restaurant, too.

The staff is nice,the food is good, they have to best icecream ive ever had and having the coffee shop and the store right there is great!!!Its such a hassle to round up everyone to drive down to IGA but the store is just right there i love it

This place is really hit and miss. Sometimes really good, sometimes just eh

Tried the Philly Cheesesteak Omelette for breakfast and YUM. We've been here twice and each time everything was good including the coffee.

Worst clam chowder we have ever had. Brown and so thick it had the consistency of glue with very little clam taste. Would not ever eat here or recommend it. Especially after paying $47 for.

The BLTS are very good and so are the onion rings! We love this spot and the food always comes out great!

Fabulous sandwiches! This is a cute place and I was glad to see that in the before times they were a board game hang out. This was the perfect spot to stop for a picnic to take down to the beach.

This cafe was replaced by a deli shop a few years ago and the food isn't remarkable. We went and tried it as they offer a breakfast, but it's pretty reminiscent of what you might expect to find at a generic hotel that offers a warm meal.

I like it, I like the atmosphere, it beats driving behind someone going 20 miles per hour to Stanwood. However, I'm from Chicago, and Washington State doesn't know what good food is, so im prejudice. So I starve or go get an overcooked cheeseburger and fries. Hint hint...
