List 14 Budget-Friendly Restaurants Near You in Anacortes, Washington (Part 2)

Devan Mitchell My wife and I are in town on an impromptu date night; this was our first time at Frida’s. Best pollo mole I’ve ever had and Antonio is a fantastic host. Crème brûlée cheesecake to finish it off? 10/10

Holly Stopped by on my way back to the San Juan’s after a particularly rowdy Seattle night (TL;DR — was /very/ hungover) and wasn’t sure what to expect. My friend and I each ordered a Bloody Mary & a smash burger with poutine. There was an assortment of hot sauces for the Bloody Mary & the burgers were modifiable — already a win. Everything came out super quickly. The biggest win was the fact that they were also just REALLY good. I’m revived and this will absolutely be a routine stop when I come and go from the islands.

Vanessa Tucker-Douglas Honestly its so unimposing when you first drive up. You will not be disappointed. Its beautiful inside and its kid and dog friendly. The food was fantastic and so was the service. We cant wait to go back!!!

Paul Ryan ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Consistently great, genuinely family-run. I’ve been coming to Real Tequila in Anacortes for years and love that it’s truly family operated—you see the same friendly faces every visit, and sometimes the kids pitching in midday, refilling waters and helping clear plates. The manager always stops by to say hello and make sure we have everything we need, and the servers are attentive without hovering. The food is delicious and consistent, with portions that feel just right. As a local, it’s my go-to Mexican spot because I always know what to expect: warm service, a welcoming atmosphere, and reliably tasty plates. Thanks to the whole team for always making us feel seen and taken care of.

Darcy Bellusci We booked Seas the Day to serve oysters at our daughters wedding. It could not have been a better experience! The oysters were delicious and the crew was charming! Left over oysters were packaged up so we could take them home and eat them the next day. The booking could not have been easier - they were very responsive and flexible. I highly recommend them.

Spacey Vegas Great great great food and the staff is amazing. The lady is always super nice to me and EXTREMELY friendly. The food is fresh and taste like quality. The sushi chef is nice also and the rolls are always very good and the crunch rolls have a great sauce on them. I tried a new dish today the bimboo (Korean dish I did not spell it correctly) but this dish was amazing snd super good. I will be having it again. The food is always quality and control and also soft regulations.

Jessica McFadden Awesome spot to get a drink and he food was amazing. Best clam chowder in the area. Had 6 people in our group and not one complaint. They also have a pool table. Bartender took excellent care of us even though it was busy.

Jarek Halat Great coffee and plenty of quiet seating in the back room for work or small gatherings. Moka Joe has pastries, bulk coffee and packaged coffee for sale.

PatLisa Rausch Ordered ahead online as we were driving to the ferry and it was ready a couple minutes early. Piping hot and so good! Breakfast pizza especially unique and tasty. Ciabatta was better than I expected (btw, country eggs are with green pepper, yum!). Latte was just so so but hot. So glad we stopped and love supporting a local business! I would definitely come back again

Claire WithLove Plant based, gluten free, local, mostly organic, good for the planet. A great place to come to feed and nourish your body. A huge variety of smoothies and juices with natural sweetners like banana/fruit, honey, or dates instead of sugar or high fructose corn syrup. I got the tofu sandwich with came with plenty of fresh veggies like lettuce, roasted peppers, cucumber, onions, Sprouts, hummus on a toasted sourdough bread with rippled potato chips. I got the 16 oz Golden Milk smoothie as well. It was plenty for dinner and I didnt feel weighed down afterwards but lighter and more peppy. I got my food to go, but there were some Bistro tables inside and childrens artwork on the walls.

Susan Lienesch Theres something very welcoming about this place that keeps me coming back. The waitstaff are awesome, the food is excellent, and they let me have my order the way I like it. I get the same things, ground beef chimichangas or the taco salad, and the food temp and seasoning is just spot on, with affordable prices. Highly recommend.

Cheryl B. Decent food and service. Ate here for breakfast and dinner. Breakfast was typical fare but their sausage gravy and biscuits were quite good. We spit a fish and chips dinner and our server brought out our 2 plates which actually were like 2 separate meals, the cook was definitely very nice for doing that.

Allison Isakson My hubby and I decided to check this bar out after reading about it in the newspaper. We went on a sunny, Summer Wednesday and they were busy! Its a cute, little, indoor spot with a Southern feel inside, located right off commercial Ave. The service was amazing, they were always on top of it. There was a wide variety of cocktails to choose from. I tried several, and all were made to perfection-- tasty and strong, made from quality spirits, fresh ingredients, that pop with flavor, paired with unique garnishes and glassware, transporting you to New Orleans without the travel. The shrimp and grits was the best Ive had since I lived in the South. Shrimp not overcooked, perfect flavor balance and portion size. Surprisingly good in general but especially for our cute little Anacortes town. Only downside I could see for some, is that this bar and restaurant is for ages 21 and up only. That also means it can be a little on the loud side. Not a problem to me because they played great, fitting music and maintained a very nice atmosphere. As convenient as family restaurants are, its a treat having a place just for "grownups". ♡ Cant wait to return and try more things!

Jen Boss First time visiting this location. Phoned order in and was told it would be ready in 15 minutes! Wow! We ordered chicken fried rice, fried won tons, egg rolls, chicken chow mein, broccoli with chicken, and fried jumbo prawns. Everything was ready when we arrived! And the food was absolutely delicious! The portion size was ample. We were able to make two meals from it which was amazing even warmed the second day. The service was outstanding. Price was very reasonable. It may have been our first visit but our first of many visits. Convenient location. Parking was easy but we are in midst of Covid and dining in the establishment is not a current option. I would highly recommend this restaurant.
