8 Best restaurant in Friday Harbor, Washington (WA) 2024

Absolutely delicious seafood spot! Creative cocktails, great service and a beautiful location overlooking the harbor. I especially loved the clams in a mild curry sauce. So good! We also enjoyed the fish tacos and crab melt sandwich. Delicious! ~Nicole

Great food but weird service, or lack there of! We didn't see any signs or directions so just grabbed a couple seats at the bar facing the street. Amazing view!! We sat for awhile and hubby finally went up to the bar to ask about menus and drinks. The guy said sure, here's some menu's, are you going to pay or open a tab! That was it!! We perused the menu, placed our order and sat back down. Pretty quickly somebody was yelling our name!! They delivered the food and drinks, each time yelling out our name as if for the first time!! Between drinks, soup, tacos, oysters and a Polish dog, that was 6 times!! The food was amazing, all of it!! The smoked salmon chowder was thick and rich with just the right amount of salmon and clams. The fish and shrimp tacos both were grilled and nicely spicy, not over powering. The polish dog is huge! Now, those oysters though, they were phenomenal!! Grilled to perfection and the caper broth they add is genius! I definitely highly recommend Friday's, especially for the chowder and oysters, and will come back for sure! ~Cindy

Deliciously exquisite and superb vegan and gluten-free cuisine served in a quaint historic building right in downtown Friday Harbor! The menu is diverse and creative with devine flavors. They have lovely indoor dining and two charming outdoor patios to choose from. This is definitely our first choice as a local. Our personal favorite dishes? Their Sweet Potato Tacos and both the Szechwan Sizzle and Thai Noodle Bowls. SO! DAMN! GOOD! They get busy because they are so good, even on Monday nights, so going early is suggested. They have a huge wine selection as well, but the amazing food is what draws the crowds. Excellent staff. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! ~N

Definitely a great vibe, I'd stop here to have some drinks. However, I was not Impressed by the food. We ordered the Au Jus burger and a built a burger. His was overdone and not seasoned in the slightest. Mine was cooked perfectly but still unseasoned. No sides come with burgers/sandwiches and have to be ordered separately. ~Erica

Amazing spicy fried rice. We ordered 2 initially and it came out so good that we ordered 2 more. We’re staying in San Juan for 3 days. I guess we’ll be eating here only for the rest of the trip. ~Ayush

Highly recommend sitting outside if possible just because the back garden is so lovely. Good pizza, crunchy crust with a soft bite. We also got a brownie for dessert and wasn't disappointed. A little pricey, but most things on the island are, and the food and service were great. Vegetarian options: They have vegetarian options Dietary restrictions: They have gluten free options ~Chelsea

Loved everything we ate here! The veggie lasagna was amazing, but the pasta from hell stole our hearts. It’s on the spicy side, but the unsual taste of turmeric in an Italian dish drew me mouth after mouth to the pasta. The pasta from hell actually felt like it was from heaven ✨ The service was excellent as well! The best restaurant in all of San Juan islands. ~Haritha

Unless you really really hungry and everything else is closed, I would not recommend going.. I made the mistake of ordering before I looked at the reviews. Eggroll was extremely greasy, & I mean oil running on the side of your mouth greasy! The" Mongolian beef" uncooked very chewy too. For 22$. The rice was the only thing I could eat that was okay at best. I watched The lady with Bob cut change the tip of an alcohol bottle with her bare hands into another without washing her hands.. & she came from the kitchen in the back.. I'm pretty sure you supposed to wash your hands, wearing a mask is no miracle to germs if you half a$$ing. No thanks ✋ ~Lashawna
