Lime Kiln Cafe

Still on our cruise through the San Juan Islands. Todays port of call: Roche Harbor. At Lime Kiln a cafe I ordered the cheeseburger. Oh bay this is one of the better burgers I've had. And it takes a lot for me to compliment a burger. Juicy, slight char, Swiss cheese top and a broche bun that did not take over the meal. I'm not sure about the rest of their food but the burgers are worth it.

I saw a long line and the smells were phenomenal! You have to save a seat or snag a table outside and walk inside to order your meal and drink. Atmosphere inside was spacious and lovely ! So much room . There is also a back patio that has a mini quad and two large benches out there . Order : the chicken sandwich with coleslaw and a Carmel macchiato. Chicken was crispy and cooked to perfection! The slaw reminded me of home in the south ! Coffee was pulled and poured correctly and tasted great . Views are amazing !! Service was decent . Fast and quick service very minimal . Tables all cleaned and bathrooms are 100% clean and the showers looked great . This is definitely a great place to be .

It's open for breakfast and lunch. Both meals are great. I love the chicken sandwich! The employees are always really nice and I appreciate all that they do. They even have Starbucks drinks.I don't like that they close half of the restaurant 1-2 hrs before closing so they can clean up early. I also don't like that they will wait to start lunch orders past the lunch start time. That's just not right. I prefer lunch food over breakfast. I realize that they're making more money on breakfast items but if it's your posted lunch time then take the lunch orders.Here's a funny one. The trashcans are only on 1 side of the restaurant (where they have the least tables) so most people have to walk through the restaurant in order to toss their trash then walk back through the way they just came from if they want to exit out to the dock. Just put another trashcan on the other side of the restaurant. It's an obvious issue. I bet it's so they don't have to empty another can.

Pay attention to where you park some spots are reserved some are 30 minute and some are 2 hour. Everyone was friendly and helpful even though they were busy. We got our food pretty fast it was all correct and very good. The gorgonzola chicken salad, chicken was perfect and it had the perfect amount of everything for every bite to be yummy. The Cubano was very flavorful and they have great buns. Kids cheeseburger was good just a regular burger however the buns make it a bit better.After you eat there is a few things to wander around and look at, made a nice trip.

I heard this place had great donuts so I stopped in and got donuts. They were, in fact, good donuts. Good, solid cake donuts with good frosting. Simple as that! Next time, I'll probably try the food too :)It's right on the water so the views are superb. Well worth a visit.

The service and staff are top-notch and so nice.The food was delicious and we ate outside, the view was amazing!We will definitely be back.

Good food, steep prices. It's clean and the service was friendly and efficient. Lunch for 3 people was $45. One of us had ice tea, otherwise we drank water. My point? Even in the off season, it's expensive here. Still the views were good and the food was tasty.The 12 oz soup was filling and had a smoky tincture to it. I love split pea soup and this soup was really well prepared: creamy and perfectly seasoned (most restaurants add too much salt).The turkey sandwich with small chowder was also delicious.The dining room was a bit messy with debris on the floor and chairs pushed away from the tables. Next time I'd just eat on the boat, but a friend was disembarking so going out to lunch was a social decision. Im glad we tried this place but the prices will likely keep me away in the future.

Really great breakfast and lunch options. We drove over from Friday Harbor pretty often because we enjoyed the food so much. I loved the avocado toast in the morning and the chicken tacos or crispy almond chicken salad at lunch. Their breakfast biscuits with strawberry jam were also heavenly. Wish I knew what brand of jam that was, it was the best! Coffee is great here too (they serve Starbucks, one of the few places on the island that does). The doughnuts were yummy too. :)

Cookie cutter place, Truman show atmosphere, but still did an okay cuban sandwich. Great place for birthday parties for 8 year olds.

Yummy everything was perfect . Fast nice people clean. Very pretty view . It's really nice to walk by boats too.
