Top 15 Budget-Friendly Restaurants Near You in Bellingham, WA

Nicole p Loved this place so much we went back two nights in a row. First night had the sourdough, meatballs, Cesar salad with white anchovies, and the salcitta pizza. Was all delicious. Second night had the marinated beets, arancini, cacio e Pepe, and bolognese. Again incredible. They also had delicious NA IPA, fully satisfied beer craving. Everything was so good I forgot to take a picture till the final dishes came. Staff were also great and kitchen was cooking efficiently!

Brian Gleason Everything I love about a grilled cheese. Perfectly cheesey without being too much and the giant crispy edges take it to another level. Located next to a brewery, there is plenty seating and beer available. Friendly staff at both made this a perfect spot to grab a bite.

D. Anthony If you love Thai food and want to experience the kind of dishes Thai-Chinese people truly enjoy — beyond the typical Thai plates you can find anywhere in America — this restaurant is a must-visit. The flavors are bold, deeply authentic Thai, thoughtfully adjusted to suit local taste buds without losing their essence. The atmosphere feels like being drawn into an art gallery and a cinema infused with Thai and Chinese influences. I especially love the Peking duck, dim sum, and the beef salad — absolutely delicious. If you’re visiting this city, you shouldn’t miss this place, because it almost feels like you haven’t really been to Bellingham if you don’t stop by here.

Lo Sherwin Always great service. Usually busy on weekends. One of my fav places to go for some greasy diner food.

David Shepherdson We go there often. Nice view, not noisy, friendly staff. Outside seating in the summer. Not cheap but reliable and good value. Good happy hour prices. Love the ahi tacos, salads and burgers. Serving sizes might seem small to some. Perfect for us. Went there for brunch yesterday and had one of the best classic French toasts ever!

Brittany Franklin Fuentes Such a delicious breakfast! The potatoes were crispy and seasoned, the eggs perfect. Even the avocado was prime. Coffee on point. Highly recommend. The California skillet was what we ordered , halfway through thought it was so good we should write a review, so the photo is basically an action shot.

Casey Bromet This is my wife’s favorite local restaurant. Today we went here for our 12th anniversary dinner. I had the Hollywood Burger, she had the Tiki Tuna Poke Bowl, and the California Crunch Roll as an appetizer. Everything was excellent. Service was fantastic. We had Kayla as our server. She was very kind, very helpful. Brought us everything we needed quickly. Didn’t check in too often, just the right amount.

Colby Fowler Went for the wifes birthday and was very impressed. The service was great. Attentive and upbeat. The food came quickly and was very delicious. Flavorful and palette pleasing. They definitely aim for quality. I will definitely be returning and recommend you check them out if youre looking for an upscale bite or maybe some raw oysters.

Lis Gimenez I’ve found the best fries I’ve ever had here! The milkshakes are delicious, the staff is friendly, and the portions are just right.

Terra Incognita The best Neapolitan pizza cooked in a PizzaMaster PM402ED-DW Dual Chamber Double Width Electric Countertop Pizza Oven at a Target Temperature of 630 Fahrenheit with the Top Heat Intensity set to 9 and Bottom Heat Intensity set to 4.

Alana Sheeren We stopped here for lunch on our way back to California from Canada. I saw online that a large portion of the menu was available gluten-free and wanted to try it. We walked in at 12:09 (it opens at noon) and there were already four tables seated and two groups in line at the counter ahead of us. I took that as a good sign! The restaurant itself was very cute - open, spacious and inviting with lots of art on the walls. We ordered and sat at a table in the front by the window. About ten minutes later my husband went to wash his hands, and when he came back he said it was weird, no one was in the kitchen cooking but our food hadn’t come out yet. Finally after waiting 30 minutes, he went up to the counter to ask. The family that ordered just ahead of us hasn’t gotten their food either. I guess the kitchen printer broke and the kitchen never got our orders. They apologized and offered to either return our money or make our food quickly. The family had two young kids and got their money back (they looked so disappointed). We waited for our food and I’m so glad we did. It was DELICIOUS. The portions were large and everything tasted fresh. I had the cauliflower tacos with a side salad and my husband had chimichurri steak tacos with fries. He always asks for his fries extra crispy and they almost never come out that way but Brandywine got it exactly right. The person who took our order was very apologetic, brought us complimentary dipping sauces for the fries and offered us a free dessert if we wanted one. He agreed that the mistake shouldn’t have happened (which it shouldn’t - someone should have noticed the two tables sitting there with no food and no tickets in the kitchen). Unfortunately their desserts are prepackaged and none were gluten-free, which seemed odd to me when their website proudly claims their focus on GF food. (Not that we needed the sugar.) I would definitely recommend the food and it’s such a great space. Just check in if your food isn’t out quickly!

Jackson Eaton Food was absolutely delicious and the amount of craft cocktails they have on their menu is amazing. So many options and all of them sound good. Plates are great for sharing and enjoying a nice night out with your partner and friends. Would recommend this place to anyone who wants good asian fusion food and a yummy drink. (The ginger scallion prawns are to die for!)

S King This was my first visit to Lombardis and the experience exceeded all expectations. The menu is quite varied and there is something to please everyone. Each person in our party ordered different entrees and all raved about their meals. The food was fresh, hot and flavorful with generous portions. The staff was friendly, welcoming and very professional. They provided exceptional service. The decor is very pleasant with plenty of seating indoors and outside with a lovely view of the marina. Lombardis is a perfect place for a romantic evening or special occasion or just to enjoy drinks or a meal with family or friends. I highly recommend Lombardis.

Heidi Koshman Not gonna lie this shocked me. We got in late on a Friday night, about 8pm and after checking in we wanted food but didn’t want to drive anymore. The restaurant while busy had a good selection of food. The service was good and fast with all the dishes we ordered. The outside seating area was nice to get some air and cool off but wasn’t freezing. Even if you don’t stay here you should try the restaurant out.

Renita Orellana My partner and I came to Sliced because another nearby place was too busy and Im SO GLAD we did! The atmosphere at Sliced is fun and friendly. I got the BBQ pulled pork sandwich was delicious and is now my favorite Ive had. My partner got a calzone, which was also really good. The desert was delicious, too, and presented lovely. All the staff was helpful, nice, and professional. Ill definitely be coming again!
