Dad's Diner

First time here and OMG.. its a must do!! Food was amazing, staff was awesome and you can definitely tell that everything’s made from scratch. HUGE portions and yummy mimosas :)

This local restaurant has its own characteristics: custom made spicy sauces, daddy pictures from customers on walls, friendly staff, delicious food...

A fantastic local place if you're looking for a good size, hearty meal that will fill you up. Also excellent quality and flavorful options! My husband and I enjoyed the breakfast hash's!! The waiter was attentive, kind and the slight mistake with our meal was taken care of. You can see why this is place is full to overflowing! If we come back through this area we will stop!

Best Burger in Washington! And then there's the Breakfast... totally awesome. But you can't come here because then it will be harder for me to get in.

The quality of food was amazing. Crowded because it is popular and small for its popularity. The menu was chalkboard only so you take a picture to study your choices.

This food is delicious! Everything is made from scratch, cooked perfectly. The meat is tender, the potatoes are crisp on the outside and soft inside. The service is fast. This is the type of restaurant that you want to try something new each time you come. YUM!!

Great spot, great food, great root beer and a friendly staff. Has 50's diner feel with a modern touch

Holey Moley, huge pancake. For reference, my fork only covers the radius, like A second hand on a clock--wow! Great food, great service. Bacon was medium thick--good stuff.

Food was excellent, can't say enough. I had the bar-b-Cuban. Very good. My son had some biscuits and gravy. The gravy was the best I ever had.

Good food made fresh. My husband had the house made hash, said it was really good. I had "Dad's Plate ", which included 2 eggs, choice of meat and choice of bread or biscuit. The service was a little slow, it was at least 15 minutes before our order was even taken. It took awhile for our food to arrive. But I do understand everything is made from scratch. A little spendy at $45.00 for two, for breakfast. I did have a mimosa. All a decent meal.

The vibe was awesome..The food amazing..Everything's from scratch..p.s. no menu's, look at the chalkboard on the right!

Absolutely 👍 great place! Good Healthy options are available. Totally recommend!

stop in here every couple of years for breakfast while visiting family in the area. always have a great meal here. our friendly waiter was very knowledgeable about the food and area. definitely made meal enjoyable. definitely will be back. maybe next time for lunch. the hash with pork belly was AWESOME.

Best breakfast in town. Reben best ever. All time favorate.

One of the best meals I've had. Great food, great people every time. A very enjoyable place to go and eat. Smoke and cook all their own meats which is hard to find in this state. One restaurant I will never get tired of. Will return again and again and again.

Loved the late breakfast we had here at dad's! We cannot wait to come back and try the rest of their house made meats and sauces ! 😍 I had the house hash and added their pulled pork to the mix. I've been craving it ever since.

The fried rice is actually pretty good. The pork belly was very tender and tasty. The sauce made the fried rice a bit too sweet (but I’m sensitive to sweet stuff). The asparagus is the rice is delicious.

Was not impressed at all. Let's start with the good, what little there was. The service was great, the staff was very kind and friendly. Onto the bad, the food. First off the coffee, it tasted like tap water with a little bit of coffee grounds stirred in and they called it coffee. I ordered the dad's plate, was very disappointed with pretty much every aspect of it. The bread arrived cold, I ordered the eggs medium and they were overcooked. The bacon was flavorless and soggy. The potato/hash browns were good though, crispy and flavorful. Absolutely not worth $15overall would not recommend the place far too crowded and expensive for the experience.

Quirky ambience. Kind of fun looking at all the "dad" photos on the walls. Limited menu posted daily on a chalkboard. Food was good but not great. We were there for breakfast. Service was very good.

Super busy but we were lucky !!!! Good service, sizable portions and super tasty food!!! I need to try to reproduce the biscuits :) love the theme of the restaurant as well :) all local Dads pictures hang on the wall - stop in and eat well!

Hands down the best breakfast in Anacortes. Name says Diner, reality is excellent upscale food. We went for breakfast. I ordered the French toast. We were there when it was very busy on a Saturday morning. There was a long line at the door and service was a little slow. I recommend this place for breakfast.

8/31/19 - Wow! Came in for breakfast again but was swaded towards lunch this time, I had the philly and Wow excellent, my sweet love had the French toast excellent as well. Glad we live in Anacortes.7/1/19 - Excellent again this time we tried the biscuit & gravy and oh my so, so delicious, I even went back and got more gravy since I had an extra biscuit I didn't eat. Yummy, great service as well.If you live in Anacortes or are visiting this diner is a must.Alway so good. This is the best place for me and my sweetie to share breakfast.We tend to split the hash and a pancake.We also enjoy the BQ stand they have as well further south off Commercial St.The menu when you go in is off to your right on a chalkboard, you may have to look over someone, people are use to it.Good coffee, good food, welcoming environment. A great place to eat and bring visitors.

Had many friends tell me I should try Dad's. Ordered the BBQ Pulled Pork with Memphis style sauce and it was amazing. My wife ordered the same but with the Carolina sauce. The BBQ Pulled Pork sandwich was outstanding. Service was amazing and I will definitely be going again. Tried the Jojo that came with the sandwich in both the Carolina and Memphis sauce and was amazing. Next time I go I'm going to see if I can get both styles.

Reminds me of breakfast on the farm when I was younger. All fresh homemade ingredients. Awesome vibe. Best place to fill the belly for the day.

Great experience! Had lunch with a friend there today. I had the Texas philly & it was delicious & the service was amazing!👍

You can expect excellent service and high quality food at Dad's. I had a very good tasting and unique salad, homage to a special local. I would recommend that they add at least one more vegetarian and vegan options, other than salad. For the area, it's kind of expected.

Wonderful staff. Very educated on celiac and the kitchen stops cooking everything else when cooking the GF food to help avoid cross contamination. Hamburgers and buns are delicious! Their breakfast potatoes are a great delicious alternative to French fries and their homemade mayonnaise is GF as well. Highly recommend for GF yummy food!

I’ve been on a quest to find the best burger in Washington, and I feel as though my quest ends here.The burger was big and tasted amazing, juicy, cooked to perfection. I’m sad I live so far away, cause I’d be here every day otherwise.Also, the staff made us feel like we were having lunch at dad’s house, and I loved that. Check this place out!

We had a pretty long wait to get a table. Which to me is a sign that the food is good. We were greeted by our server immediately after getting settled in. The food was delicious and the portion size was big! Definitely recommend stopping in.

The service was good, but our food was not even ok, nearly burnt potatoes, the sausage side is really a hamburger patty, overpriced for the quality of food. The worse part was having to wait for an hour to be disappointed ☹️.

It can get somewhat crowded but if you're simply looking for great food, this is the place! Very customizable and everything tasted home cooked and very fresh. Loved it!!

The food is absolutely amazing and the owner is extremely passionate about the quality of his food I highly recommended this establishment.

Great food and great staff. Don't let the meat-heavy menu fool you, either. They will turn out a beautiful veggie hash for you on request!
