The food is spot on and taste like one of your grand mothers recipes. Best burgers in town. Owesome customer service. I drive an hour just to eat at this restaurant. Support the local restaurants and give them a try. If a messy fat juicy burger that is exploding with flavor is your craving this is the place. Dont miss out!

Seriously the best burgers we’ve had in a long time! The pretzel buns put it over the top, beef cooked to perfection, staff was very friendly!

Very good food; not your average burger and fries. Masked server; minimal space outside, but fairly near the park. There was space inside, seating for two widely spaced. Take-out in small boxes; easy to carry without smashing.Chicken-burgers; hamburgers with unusual cheese/dressing combos. Fun place to try.

I enjoyed the atmosphere, service and food. They have pinball, pool, air hockey table and some other games for the kids (or adults) in the back. The service was nice and the food came quick. Wasnt so much impressed with the fried chicken, more of breaded, but all together its quite filling. The biscuit was on par. Moderate prices, not too spendy for the amount.

Thanks for 2 wonderful meals...we are trying to rotate around the restaurants that have been able to remain open during this Pandemic.. Chicken strips and fries a couple of weeks ago and tonight we had two cheeseburgers with the fixings and also Gorgonzola cheese crumbles and fries...Great service and great food...thank you!

Looked great, tasted ok. I got the prime rib dip, my wife got the yardbird, and kid got the chicken tenders. The fries were not hot and the dip had very little flavor, the yard bird sandwich was an awesome biscuit and good chicken (crunchy yet moist), but the gravy was bland and flavorless. The tenders had a bit of cajun flavor and were pretty good, and arrived very hot.They have some games in the back the highlights are a nice starwars pinball machine, pool table, and air hockey. The rest of the games are very old or non functioning.The decor was as youd expect, retro dive bar style, beer cap tables, and such.They appear to have a decent selection of beers, ciders and a full bar.They are kid friendly until 10pm which is awesome because my kid loves games like pool and air hockey.

Completely overpriced and not worth it. Oh, they offer an exorbitant fee to substitute salad instead of fries? No thanks - ever again! Steer clear of this place unless you love giving away your money for tiny portions. And if the manager/owner wants to reply to this review, dont try - my mind is already made up to never give you my business again and Im warning anyone else wholl listen. Hopefully your business isnt around on the other side of this pandemic - Anacortes will be much better off for it

Food was so so, how to chicken burger and the deep fried chicken was blackish and relatively light on flavor, I added about a quarter bottle of Tabasco sauce on it. Unfortunately the fries were not so great, pretty greasy and not much flavor to write home about. The drinks seemed to be reasonably priced, other menu items also seem to be relatively reasonably priced. Not sure if I would visit again though.

Hands down the best chicken burger ive had. The kimchee had hints of ginger with some spice, the cajun spice on the chicken with shredded lettuce and tomatoes. I forgot about covid19 for 30 minutes enjoying the sandwich and an ice cold Amber.

Our server had RBF and was super rude. The fries were super greasy! There was another customer who complained about the fries as well. My wings were gross. Clearly processed. The owner asked me what was wrong with my wings and I just didnt care to share with her why I didnt eat them. She said;well if you dont tell me I cant fix it. Another customer complained about mayo on his burger and she said, next time you need to order it without mayo. $5 for greasy fries and $9 for the frozen processed chicken. Save the hassle and go to calico cupboard. Poor service. Took 40 minutes to get our food and we were the first customers there.

Late night snacks definitely hit the spot! I had hot wings and chicken+waffles (both super good). I really appreciated the awesome, speedy service, and atmosphere (although I only stayed a few min to grab a to-go order). Maybe well come by again tomorrow night! I want to find out whether the dollar bills tacked to the ceiling are lost bets, Im intrigued...

Review №23

Its very pub like. If youre looking for that then this is a casual place to go with friends and have some cheap grub. There will be loud folks the bar as this seems to be a hangout spot. Big selection of drinks at the bar. Many types of hot sauce. The fries are good. 4 stars for being laid back, bathroom is spotless when Ive gone, and for the working hours for this area. Its open til midnight last I checked.

Excellent service, very good food. Worth stopping by for lunch or dinner, and they serve breakfast!!! Their donut burgers are only available on weekends, unless you bring your own!Portion sizes are generous, and if your an herbivore, their salads looked very tasty.

Review №25

The transition from food truck to brick and mortar is a success! The restaurant delivers on the Vagabond charm. Its got a cozy, welcoming, just like home feeling/vibe. Theres a pool table, arcade games, coloring books, and board games - things to engage friends and family. A full bar for adult beverages and a simplistic menu that delivers tasty food for a fair price. I had the yardbird (pictured) with fries and it was very good.My only negative is the parking situation, which is unfortunately unavoidable for this location. If youre visiting, theres 4 normal parking spots and one handicap; Street parking and a short walk is to be expected. The hours are also a little odd but that may become more regular as business continues to grow, regardless its worth the trip.

Review №37

The perfect dive if you’re after a quick burger and brew. The fries are actually not too greasy and anyone who says they are should put their prissy hand down around a pint of beer and start chugging because no great story ever started with a salad. Only place in town that I know of that sells beer to go! Though they should tighten the lid a little harder because the under seal popped on me and I was forced to chug my beer.(when I got home of course);) not complaining though. Will return.

I’m usually pretty generous with ratings, but this was just overall not a great experience for us. We were looking for a cheap local place to eat, and we saw a menu posted online at around $7 per meal. This must have been for the food truck- we realized that once we got there. Not their fault though, just disappointing that most meals were a few dollars more in the restaurant. Although the waiter was very nice, we barely saw him and we were sitting at the bar. We were not at all impressed with the chicken and waffles- just very bland. We felt the same way about the fries. I asked for a to go drink and didn’t realize you pay $1.50 less for the $3 drink if you return the jar. We weren’t informed of that until I asked. I told him never mind, I didn’t want to take it to go. I really wasn’t crazy about paying $3 for a drink that didn’t even get refilled when it had been sitting empty for the last 15 minutes, and a jar I didn’t want. He acknowledged and (nicely) said “it’s only like an extra dollar or so.” I said I didn’t want it to go, again. The check didn’t break down what we paid for, but we added it up later and we were still charged the extra $1.50. No, it’s not a lot of money, but the principle of it is really what was frustrating and the slow service and not so great food just added to it.The rating does take into account a very tasty burger for one of our party, the friendliness of the waiter when we saw him, and a pretty great atmosphere with an arcade in the back. Wouldn’t go back again though.

Review №46

We went in without any expectations and Vagabond is my new favorite place in Anacortes. I assumed we would be treated to a whole bunch of fried foods bought from a wholesaler, but everything looked and tasted like it was made fresh. Nobody was unhappy with any part of their food. My only complaint is that the service was a bit slow at times.

11/5/19 - okay a year or so I wrote a review- it was not favorable.However I heard good things about the food so I told my sweetie I wanted to try it again.I had the blue cheese salad, Deep fried ribs and garlic fries, my sweetie had the chicken burger. Then we had the brownie with ice cream for dessert.Yummy, yummy, yummy, yummy, YUMMY!The ribs were juicy the BQ sauce was delicious as well as the blue cheese salad an garlic fries tasted fresh cut my sweetie loved his chicken burger.The service was good, the waitress had encouraged me to try the ribs and glad she did.We will return and since they serve food late that’s great! I think they might be the only place in Anacortes that serves late.Also they have a pool table and air hockey table, pinball games in the back great for kids of all agesIt a clean welcoming place.11/20/19 - came by again with my girlfriend it was amazing, the Chili cheese fries we’re a new thing I tried and they were amazing.

We seated ourselves at the bar, and began looking at the beer selection, and just taking a look around since this was our first time. A very nice young lady took our drink orders, there is a good variety of Spirits, beer and wine. We ordered our food, which took a little longer than expected, but I realized the kitchen was filling orders for pick up as well, so understandable. We both enjoyed our dinner. Overall the staff was friendly, food delicious, and the prices are excellent! The vibe in the restaurant was very upbeat and lively. We will definitely go back. Thanks for a great experience.

Delicious. Wide variety of hot sauces to spice up an already tasty hamburger or chicken sandwich. Loved the local bar feel that was still family friendly until 10 pm. Service was excellent and attentive

Je
Review №55

Everything about my experience was lackluster at best. Everything from the chicken to the fries were overcooked. In fact the fries were more like potato jerky. The bun on my chicken sandwich was completely raw inside (I was able to wad it up into a ball of dough) and the lettuce was wilted and chewy. My fiancees burger was flavorless and utterly disappointing. The service was spoty and disinterested. Will not not be returning.

Review №56

First time eating there...very good homemade soup with sriracha sour cream on top that added that extra oomph, yum + homemade bisket with ham and swiss which was also good...by friend had a great club sandwich, panini style the bread was homemade biscuit dough....it looked like a waffle...he said it was great...I will definitely go there again

Review №57

Great food, but I kind of miss the food truck.... But I will say the fried chicken sandwich (yard bird) is the best Ive had anywhere, ever. Its in my top 10 all time favorite meals and thats saying something. I just wish the restaurant was on the same quality the truck was, the last few times its kind of had a burnt oil taste to it ya know? Tough to explain. Will be back though, I co spider my self a semi regular and would recommend to friends.

Review №58

Was directed here from another restaurant in town that was closing just as we got there. The food was great and the service was better.Get the biscuit starter...a couple for the table. Skip the whiscuit, its OK but not as good as the biscuit. The frozen are great. The sweat tea wasnt very sweet but still dang good. We enjoyed the chicken sandwich, Arizona burger and chicken fingers. They were all good. The pretzel bun on the sandwiches was killer. Go eat there and enjoy.

This place is great! A must visit when you stop in Anacortes. We sat at the bar, the service is outstanding. The lemonade, arnie Palmer, cheeseburger with the pretzel bun were really good. And their fries are absolutely delicious. Oh! And the fried chicken biscuit dish was scrumptious as well. The arcade game selections were fun to play while waiting for our food which was fairly quick and efficient. Price point was very reasonable given the quality and portions of all of the dishes that they serve. We will for sure be back the next time we come up to Anacortes.

We went for lunch and enjoyed it so much we came back after work for more. Lunch we had a the burger special and French dip. Yum! The bun on the burger was a pretzel bun, it went perfect with the gorganzola and sauteeted onion burger. The French dip was heavy with perfectly sliced beef. I chose Swiss to top. The roll it was kinda didnt just dissolve when dipped in the aujus. We had ceasar salad for our side. It had shaved parmesan cheese. So good. I brought a box home with half the French dip and half my salad. The four teenagers at home were not happy that there was not more.After work we went back and shared an appetizer if baby back ribs. I chose Franks hot sauce and blue cheese. I was so happy this was not a first date cause they were so good I sucked every bit of goodness off the bone.For drinks, I had a Bellieni, it was Champagne, with peach whiskey and oj. Quite nice. We also got a shot of the peach whiskey to sip. It was good. I would up dumping it in my Belleini, which made it really good. My husband had beer. . He drank it, I assume it was good.We will definitely come back.

Great food, great people, great atmosphere what more could you ask for. They have attentive staff that know the menu well. Great place to bring kids since they have a full game room in the back with air hockey, pool table, pin ball, and other arcade games. Clean and comfortable seating with tables, booths, and L shaped bar. If you have never been here youre missing out.

Review №75

Awesome place to grab a beer and an appetizer and kill some time or have dinner. Their fried chicken sandwich and sweet tea is reminiscent of the south. Basic food done well is hard to come by but this place nails it. Maple BBQ sauce is the go to. Good beers on tap and a friendly staff round out what’s already a great little spot.

Review №76

Im recently indifferent about this place.So the people who work here are cool, awesome to say the least.The food however has become hit or miss.I dont remember when the fries changed and got so greasy but they are more often than perfectly crispy. I believe that I survived the burger being less than cooked through because of the beer. Alcohol battles undercooked meats very well, fyi. I took a dive and consumed it because it took a while to get my food already. Understanding that hand prepared food takes time... Im not sure how theyd fix this, not being a restaurant owner myself it must be difficult.My friends and I feel that the atmosphere and people are totally Vagabond signature worthy of the food truck that they came from. Its just the food quality isnt as good as the truck produced. That probably sounds odd but the truck was one of the best things in town to look forward to.
