The Islander Bar & Grill

The thing about this island is that, it Has a very low population. It means, places to go to eat is likely limited. It is. What I see on Yelp as far as hours are not always true. Most places are open early evening- -for dinner time.It is remotely quiet and just has its own style of living which, I respect.What I'm trying to say is that , if you plan to stay for a couple of nights? Bring yourselves some healthy filling snacks that will keep you upright until you get some cooked meals that will be available. I know I did since I read about this island.Hub and I realized this was the go-to for locals and have a fair amount of foods. I ordered the quick fried chicken and it was okay. It came with slices of carrots and celery. It was light but satisfying.Service is pretty quick and our server was pleasant. I like that. Hub had the prime rib dip and it came with well seasoned fries. We both enjoyed our late lunch and will probably have a nice drive later again in the afternoon.It's a nice friendly bar I thought.You can't go wrong with apps and some cold beer right here.

Delicious fresh food, reasonable prices, nice presentation, friendly waitstaff. Highly recommend! We had their famous prime rib, locally caught seared salmon and salmon sliders. Everything was very good. We look forward to future visits here each time we come to Lopez.

We were staying here across the street at the campground. Went in for dinner had a party of three we ordered appetizers nachos, calamari, and clams. The nachos seem to have been sitting in the window for quite some time asked for extra salsa and we actually got none. The calamari was OK. The clams was maybe 15 One inch clams (maybe) might have been more like 12. Four entrées we had oysters and their Gorgonzola ribeye that didn't have Gorgonzola. I think the rats that were running around the deck got the best service may be the best food. But when you're limited to one restaurant you don't have many choices. The view is awesome. So after that incredible meal we got off the boat and stopped in for lunch, One of us had a Tillamook cheddar burger which was very good. I had a club sandwich a 2 inch piece of bacon. I would give the club sandwich a three out of 10. And the third person in our party had one of those plant burgers and a cup of chowder and he did say the chowder was very good.

As the only place on Lopez Island that is consistently open- not bad! If you're looking for some pricey dive bar food, this is your spot. Everything I have ever eaten at the Islander is good but doesn't wow me to pieces-- but its Open and none of the restaurants on Lopez ever are- so what are you gonna do?!

Great shared items and kids loved their burgers!Due to the pandemic, they have a limited menu which I have posted here. We came in by boat for Father's Day and decided to dine in on their balcony. We ordered the pan fried oysters, blue cheese bay shrimp salad and chicken strips! Everything was fantastic...we loved it so much we ended up eating there again the next day and the boys loved there burgers and the adults shared fried chicken wings and crispy onion rings and bay shrimp cocktail. So good! We will definitely be back next time!

Cute, and homey restaurant. Great ocean views no matter where you're sitting (we were also sat next to the fireplace, which was awesome on a cold, overcast day ). Service was good. I had the fish tacos, which were good. The pico de gallo was a little lacking, but not terrible.

Service was super slow and restaurant wasn't very busy. We sat here for over 2 hrs, they forgot a few of our drinks and my entree (we had a party of 6). They delivered my entree after everyone else was finished and charged me for my side salad? It was a weird experience. Paid $50 not to even eat with the rest of my party and they add gratuity. Very disappointed, wouldn't recommend.

Honestly I would rate my recent visit 4.5 out of 5 stars if possible! It was better than expected, plus a gorgeous view on a beautiful day is hard to beat. I stopped in around 6 on a Sunday, needing something savory after a long, peaceful day in the sun before heading back to the Seattle area. There were not many restaurant options to choose from, but I was more than satisfied with my meal. There appeared to be two sections of the restaurant, the standard indoor dining area, plus the bar section, which I believe has live music sometimes, fun! Oh and there's a deck with lovely views of course. (Make a res in the summer if you can.) There were a handful of tables/bar spots occupied when I arrived, however I was able to snag a small table near the windows. They have a full bar, but I went with a simple glass of rose (~$8.5). It was rose weather after all! There aren't many plant-based options although I was grateful for the Beyond Cheese Burger (~$15.95). The burger comes with a meatless Beyond patty, swiss cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, and house-made burger sauce, with fries of course! The menu states the burger is served on multi-grain bread, however mine arrived on a normal bun, which I was perfectly fine with. I omitted the cheese and onion, and the burger was still super flavorful. It quite honestly hit the spot! Love the sauce and the crisp shredded lettuce was a nice contrast to the "meaty" patty and soft bun. I could have swapped in mustard and ketchup to make this actually plant-based but the burger sauce was too yum. The amount of fries was quite generous, although they could have been hotter. That's my only minor complaint. I downed them all though, not a problem.The waiter was very friendly and efficient. I had to catch a ferry and was able to enjoy my meal in a timely manner. Don't get me wrong, I love to linger over dinner but this trip was brief. Maybe next time.I'd be happy to dine here again! Would recommend for a casual bite solo, with friends or family.

Pretty ok decent food . Awesome view and location . Had the salmon Caesar it was good .I'll certainly go back . It helped that we didn't bring our "big city -service -and quick -response expectations ". It's an island, it must be really hard to find help in these restaurants These folks are doing their level best .

Run away from this place as fast as you can!The food, service and everything about it stinks... like it smells like straight up ass in there. GrossI ordered the fish n chips which was supposed to be the "best" thing on the menu. It was disgusting!The fries and fish were mushy. When the plate came and I bit into my food I laughed so loud Canada could hear me. The service was poor. The waiter did not know what he was doing.... There was only 4 tables in the whole restaurant and he seemed super stressed out.I asked for a coke and he ignored me. I asked for a coke again 10 minutes later.... Miraculously, a female server shows up out of the blue to ask what I wanted. A coke. Disgruntled by my request she gets the coke... a simple coke with ice but now with attitude. No tip, walked out after paying and this place is beyond pathetic.
