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

Andrew Macintyre Driven past this place so many times we decided to try it out. It is a simple burger and fries menu but did not disappoint. Everything is fresh and hot. Shakes were nice and thick with plenty of flavor. The added malt just adds to the richness. Simple and delicious. Maybe the chilli cheese fries are a little on the pricey side but it is an indulgence so should not complain. Also if you like trains then you can watch that train go round for a while as you eat. So nice place to eat in as well and plenty of seating as well.

Shawn McKenna Dined in on 6/25/25 and wow! We were very impressed with the food and service! We are from Alaska and my wife wanted Italian so we were walking in the area and decided to eat at this location, the place had about 6 tables with what looks to be one chef and one waitress and she was super friendly and very polite, keep the drinks filled and empty plates of the table, the chef was dishing out amazing food! We started with the bruschetta, which was great! Had great plate presentation and flavor was on point! My wife got the Sicilian Pene and was amazed on the flavors as well another great plate presentation. I had the Ruben panini and yes just as you would think it was great!!! Definitely top 5 Ruben sandwiches I have had and we will definitely be back again before we leave this state! We wanna say thank you so much to the chef or cook and the waitress for a lovely dining experience and you guys rocked it! Will highly recommend this place to all our friends and family in the area if they have not already tried it! Thank you again and you both deserve a raise!

Garrett Kennedy I got the Cuervo Gold Fajitas. Half a pound of shrimp and another pound of vegetables. I normally eat a couple tacos but I couldnt stop. I ate all the shrimp and half of the rest of everything. I NEVER eat that much. It was one of their premier menu items. I posted photos and a video. It had avocado slices, guacamole, sour creme, broccoli, cauliflower, mushrooms, and celery I think. It comes out sizzling and fragrent.

Josh Howard Usually I wait about a month or so after a restaurant opens to come in and give them an honest try. But I was excited to try their food so I didnt wait! Let me start by saying everything was delicious. The food was perfectly prepared. Presentation was beautiful and the drinks were spot on perfectly crafted and delicious in flavor! I like the vibe of the restaurant its like High-End professional meats casual. They have booths or tables and a private dining area. I could see this place being great for business meetings or casual dining. The food is reasonably priced as are the appetizers. I definitely recommend giving them a try. I highly enjoyed my experience!

Tejas Mande Excellent Thai food. We order Mongo and yellow (vegan/veg) curry. It was rich in flavors. Quick service, recommended.

Jordana Love the ambiance. Cozy but vibrant, busy but not loud. The food was good. Lots of burgers and sandwishes on the menu. Had the cheeseburger and fries..the patty was moist but not greasy. Decent portion for what you pay. The ceasar salad was also great. As it was a microbrewery, we tried the blonde lager and we definitely recommend it. Crips, light, refreshing. Perfect for a sunny afternoon. Will definitely come back again if we are in the area.

Happily Content If you like battered and fried fish GO TO GENES. Fiancé and I were in search of a some hot fish and chips and a cold beer after three days of no power at home. This place popped up on Google so we figured why not. Genes exceeded our expectations. Started off with some oyster shooters which were delicious, I figured maybe were a little bias because we LOVE oysters. My fiancé got the fish & chips, subbed with curly fries and I got the Shrimp Basket subbed with onion rings. Im not sure what they put in the breading or how they seasoned those shrimp, but they were ADDICTING. Such a nice crunch without being overcooked. I looked at my fiancé and told him "Im gonna be thinking about these shrimp for the next week". Fish and chips had a nice crunch while also staying nicely cooked and soft on the inside. Both the curly fries and onion rings were absolutely delicious as well. My bloody mary was perfect and the macnjacks was served ice cold. We will absolutely be returning. Im craving it already and we were just there last night.

Cole Our to-go order tasted fresh and was boxed hot! The walnut shrimp had a great crunch and sweet sauce. The orange chicken looked odd because of its pale color (see pics). We usually see orange chicken with a dark brown or orange glaze, so the light appearance surprised us. The flavor was good though, and the chicken stayed crispy. The lumpia was super delicious and a highlight of the meal. The veggie lomein noodles were cooked well and the portion sizes were perfect. First time here, and would come again.

Kim Beyer Food was delicious! The wait was pretty long, but thats to be expected at lunch time on fathers day. I loved the decor (sadly they dont sell any of their vintage lunch boxes) I would absolutely go again!

Andre Lee PNW Mocha and Banana bread Banana bread was nice of course, but I just want to talk about the PNW Mocha: For the first time in my life, I had a taste of how people enjoy finer things in life. I cant and dont drink because I am allergic to alcohol (sick before drink) so I never understood how people enjoy their drinks. That was...until I had a slip of PNW Mocha: white chocolate, raspberry and vanilla - this is what "Fine", as in "Finer things in life" - tasted like. I might be a bit overdramatic, but after my first PNW Mocha, I always get myself a cup of water...a chaser if you will. The taste is just too good to simply be gulped away.

Tricia Vix First time trying this place. We drove up from Seattle to see the tulips and found this place. The server was so sweet and kept apologizing for us having to wait a little bit. We were in no rush and appreciated her communication. So often servers don’t acknowledge this. Food was great too. Bathrooms a little disarray but I assumed due to being short staffed. I’m a bathroom snob anywhere I go.

Shahriar Saadat, PhD I stopped by Wingz & Thingz and had one of the best hot wings I’ve ever tasted! The flavor was amazing and perfectly spicy. The owner was incredibly friendly and welcoming—he truly cares about his customers and even gave me extra food to try. Great food, great service, great atmosphere. I’ll definitely be coming back again. Highly recommended!

Angela Paul I love this lil diner. Its quiet, staff is great at reading their customers and giving you exactly the amount of service you want. Food is great. Atmosphere is that is a small family dinner that knows their regulars by name. They also have a drive thru!
