Having been here many times over the years, I can testify to the high and consistent quality of the food and delightful service. We just recently came for a smash burger and the very delicious spicy Southern fried chicken sandwich and their stand-out fries. A couple of old-fashioneds went with this perfectly. The drinks were perfectly strong. We used to come for their burger night and get a chick-pea burger that was so savory and tasty. I didn't see it on a recent visit, but perhaps it will rotate in. Also among our historic favorites: BLT: my child's favorite one of all time A delicious tomato-based Italian beef soup with a thick slice of artisan bread It feels casual but special and is a great place to relax on the Island. read more

Cafe Hitchcock - Fried chicken sandwich and fries. Delightful. - New American Near Me - Bainbridge Island, Washington

The cutest little place with a delicious burger! My husband had the chicken sandwich and said it was his favorite chicken sandwich to date. The prices are mildly painful, but to be expected. Great service, very cozy - we sat near the back and watched the kitchen operate with absolute grace! My kids had the grilled cheese and loved it as well. read more

Updating my review of Cafe Hitchcock as the last time I was here I did not try the food. WHAT WAS I THINKING? Really impressed by what Cafe Hitchcock has built here. This place is awesome! The ambiance is cozy but still booming and the staff always handles it like pros. I had a PHENOMENAL espresso martini that was so damn smooth and exactly what my day needed! ;) The star of the show? THE KING CRAB EGGS BENEDICT Oh my GAWD. Where has this bit of heaven been all my life? The eggs perfectly poached little pillows, rich hollandaise, and huge pieces of king crab that make this dish a GAME CHANGER IMO. I'm eccentric I know but trust me. Try it. Safe to say my update was long overdue, as Cafe Hitchcock has officially earned its permanent spot for me when visiting Bainbridge! 5 stars! read more

This place seems to use good ingredients and they have a good menu. But everything we had there for dinner the other day was way over salted. Hard to make up for that. It was also very cold in there that night. The big door to the sidewalk was open. They said they'd close it but never did. Service was pretty distant and changed waiters halfway through our meal. The biggest problem though was that we waited over 45 minutes to get our food. This was in a half full restaurant. They really weren't very busy. There was never an acknowledgment of how long we'd been sitting there waiting. read more

The Hitchcobb salad was very good- lardons and house made dressing! The husband had their pastrami, and also loved it! Excellent service, too! read more

I was hopeful we'd get some decent food however hamburger came out pretty raw and we waited almost 30 min. Unfortunately the fries didn't make up for it. The bar sitting and bartender seemed like a lively time, however our server was not that courteous and if anything seemed like she didn't want to be there. Wish we would have walked past. read more

Came here for a hot latte on a chilly day and it hit the spot. Barista was friendly. Definitely want to come back to try out the grilled cheese and tomato soup! read more

The food is too pricy. I had fish and chips and got 2 pieces of fish for $23 and one of the pieces was raw. The food didn't taste that great either. The diet soda was watery and they served it twice but they probably needed to check the syrup coming out of the soda machine. read more

Can't believe the rating here isn't higher. We loved everything we got. The burger and fried were perfect. The Tony soprano sandwich was yummy. Jones soda on tap is cool. It looks small from the outside but they have a bunch of tables. Cute place in downtown. No complaints whatsoever. read more

The house made aioli has absolutely no flavor at all. Taste like straight up mayo from the jar. The fries are VERY limp and soft and moist. Not crispy at all. My friend asked for crispy bacon and it was no crispy at all. Our server brought other people water who sat down after us but not us. The bbq bacon burger was yummy. The root beer didn't have a lot of flavor and was not very carbonated. Will not come back. Also the ambiance was awful. Very loud and echoey in the back and cramped and stuffy read more

They have a pretty good menu, I just felt that some things were lacking in consistency or flavor. The pastrami sandwich was a little dry and not hot all the way through. Chicken sandwich special had a good concept but the sauce was oily and overwhelming. You can sit outside which is nice and the staff were very friendly. If you're on the island, it's not a bad place to stop! read more

The service was slow and the food was not cooked!! I had the fish and chips and the batter was not completely cooked and the fish was red inside and not cooked. My friend had the Fried Chicken sandwich and the outside was black and charred and the chicken was not cooked through. The French fries were greasy and black colored. Most unappetizing food I've ever seen. I had to give my fish and chips back to the waitress and fortunately they didn't charge me for it. My friend ate the few pieces of chicken on the side that were cooked. Seemed like a place to drink and served bar food. Or the cook doesn't know how to deep fry and the grease was dirty. Plus they charged $24.00 for the fish and chips. read more

We stopped in yesterday for a late lunch and we're so glad we did! Tip: many businesses and eateries in Winslow are closed on Monday; not Cafe Hitchcock. Service was warm, friendly and quick. The food is unique even if the item has a non unique name. We ordered non unique Ham and Cheese Sandwich and Pastrami with an Irish coffee to take the chill from outdoors off. The sandwiches were amazing my pastrami was on real Jewish rye piled high with lean tasty pastrami just enough sauerkraut to add zing and not soak the rye bread. A pickle or two and some fancy fantastic sauce. I have never had better or even as good. Jeanie raved about her ham and cheese on focaccia. Both sandwiches come with delicious potato chips we assume made in-house. Ambience is noisy cafe with lots of locals chatting! What a perfect setting for a perfect cafe meal. read more

Omg. Don't ever order the grilled cheese sandwich. They have no grill. The bread had to be sent back because it wasn't toasted at all. I guess they have one of those roller ovens. 1 piece of cheese, not grilled bread...22.00 but it had 2 pieces of bacon. Rip off!. I did have the pastrami sandwich which was good but the homemade Rye bread was too thick for the sandwich. People got served that sat down after us. Just not a great experience. read more

Ordered the Cuban and the soup and salad as well as a latte. The Cuban was good but definitely different than your traditional Cuban bread. The soup was a Chile style soup. Good but had a lot of clove flavor. A little much for me The salad was a nice size for soup and salad and tasted great. The latte was really tasty. All in all, a good restaurant and the service was great. read more

Fish and chips were very breaded with not much fish and quite greasy. And fries were soggy. Two guests. Same order. Same experience. I'm

Service was decent. They were definitely busy when we got there so some leeway can be given based on the crowd but towards the end of the meal the lunch rush was thinning and the service was still slower. The food was good. Arrive early if you want any chance at the specials because they sell out early. Overall the quality and taste were great and it's a fun spot to go for lunch and a drink in downtown Bainbridge with a fun environment. read more

We decided to end our night at a nearby bar-- just so happened that we happened upon Cafe Hitchcock on a drag night. STOKED seeing local queens, I've heard amazing things about how diverse the Seattle drag scene is. Also, the drinks here are fire~~~ We walked in on a Saturday evening and somehow found a table for our group of 4. Pretty lively + great music. Vibe is divey. Pleasantly surprised by the table service-- bartender took our order minutes after us settling in. WINSLOW'S WAY: Ok this is juice. Love it. I could drink this all day-- the most refreshing, minty, fruity cocktail ever. We got to catch Hannah Mia Joint St. James and Clara Voyance performing a few numbers. The girls killlllled it. Love to support queer-friendly biz. Will have to be back for their brunch and actual food sometime! read more

This place was awesome!! Great service great food . Fish and chips were on point!!! Real potatoes for French fries if your from California you know. The fish were the star for me big pieces of fish with a crunchy bite. The burgers were phenomenal!!! read more

We were wondering why there was no line. Waited 10 minutes to be sat in the dining part, no one came over. Staff seem overwhelmed and not given the tools they need for good service. Our drinks were taken by the people that came after us and when the ladies realized it, they hurried and made us two undrinkable beverages. No apologies, seems like it may happen often. So many better options just a stones throw away. read more

Oh shit. This was absolutely amazing. Went here with my siblings and got phenomenal service. The fries were absolutely amazing. The burgers were so juicy, seasoned SO well, and had all of us saying damn. So ya hit this place up because damn. read more

This restaurant is one of my favorites on Bainbridge Island. However, they need to raise the prices and not surprise the customer with a a check that included an add on "service fee" after the meal. They've done their servers a disservice and after a wonderful meal, have left us with a bad taste in our mouths. Shameful practice! If more money is needed to provide good food and service, then charge that money up front on the menu! read more

Took a little trip to Bainbridge Island with my daughter, and after a day of walking and shopping, and seeing the sights we found this little gem. Cozy, inviting, and the perfect spot to end the day. The service was attentive without being intrusive. The food was delicious. I had the tomato soup and the smash burger OKC style (onions shmooshed onto patty). My daughter had the crispy chicken sandwich, Nashville style. All came out properly cooked, on time, and hot. It was delicious. The rest of the menu looked good. One drawback is the menu has no dessert. That said I recommend this spot to cap off a nice day on the island read more

Customer service absolutely terrible and they charge 25% automatically so you get what you get.....which is no water, no napkins, a long wait, cold food, and your order wrong. Will never recommend or go again. read more

Absolutely loved this cozy spot on Bainbridge Island! The tomato soup was rich and comforting, perfect for the partly cloudy day. The café salad was fresh and crisp with tomato soup, a great light option. In addition, we had the Chi-Town sandwich--house-roasted beef with melted provolone, giardiniera, and aioli. Our waitress was spot on, on explaining flavors and textures, and you could taste the quality in every bite. Highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area! Not depicted - the Bloody Mary - pretty good! I give it a solid 8.5/10 (wasn't a fan of the pickled cauliflower, but overall the mix and presentation was great!) Pro tip: your waiter/waitress has the ability to take your coffee order for the cafe attached. read more

Service was crazy slow. They were not that busy either mid afternoon. We went with counter service and it took like 40 mins for a burger and fries. I asked for them to wipe off the table and even though she said she would, it wasn't done. We had clearly asked for our burger to be split and included ketchup, neither was done, although we were supplied with a knife and ketchup when we asked. Food was good, for $22 it ought to be. Plus they include a "non-gratuity service charge" of $1.50 on top. Plus asked for 18-22% tip before we got bad service and bussed our own dishes to the over flowing bin. We bring our boat over here and eat out often, can't say we'll go out of our way to come back there. read more

The spot gets really busy, so make sure to allocate time for that. I went on a Monday but the Island constantly operates on a busy summer schedule, so it was still pretty crowded. I had gotten the garden bowl and because there were so many people, expect a bit of a wait for your food. My take on café Hitchcock is that everything is very solidly executed but not mind blowing. My garden bowl was fresh and very filling. Everything was pretty balanced with the pickles, and then the grains and the fresh vegetables. I actually ended up having to offer some of the food to my friend because I just couldn't finish it all but everything felt very healthy and nutritious. The ambiance really leans into the whole island café vibe and I would recommend this place for anyone looking for a simple things done well. read more

I love the music and the general ambience....but the service and the food are just not there. My $15 glass of wine was a very short pour. My smash burger was not hot when I was served, and the staff was more interested in their friends than serving us. I keep coming back and trying this spot but it just doesn't quite get there. Maybe I'll go back in another 6 months.....Uhg read more

I met a friend for lunch and it was not very busy. I ordered the fried chicken sandwich, which I've had before and was delicious. It looked great but when I cut it in half it was raw in the middle. It took a while for the server to come back. When I asked for it to be cooked more, he said, "well it is a chicken thigh". In my opinion, even a thigh should be fully cooked. He brought me a new sandwich and the chicken was burned. So, I guess their cooks are not skilled enough to cook a chicken thigh all the way through without burning it on the outside. read more

Chicken noodle soup was bomb! Exactly what I needed that day when I just wanted something light but delicious. It was so flavorful-robust and peppery and it had plenty of chicken and noodles. The salad was a great complement to the soup. My companion had a breakfast sandwich which he enjoyed. While there was a long wait for tables because of the ferry, we were able to sit at the bar for quicker seating. Nathan was a great host-gave great service and recommendations. read more

Came here for drinks while waiting for the ferry and got a great outdoor table on a slow weeknight evening. Our server was quite possibly very new - was unable to answer questions about drinks, left us alone for long periods of time while we were waiting for answers and waiting to order, etc. I was a curious customer and was hoping they might be able to modify something off the cocktail menu for me, or make something custom, given that the menu was creative and interesting, but it ended up being a strictly by the menu kind of place - like, very strict - and I didn't love the menu options though my dining partner found something right away. And so we waited for quite some time. Ultimately we ended up chatting with the bartender, who made some great recommendations. He was awesome and our drinks were excellent with great flavor; they do all their own infusions and it shows. Highly recommend the cocktails if something on the menu appeals to you. read more

Suuuper meaty burger and sandwich menu right now with just a sad sack, expensive grilled cheese for the vegetarians. The grilled cheese has a nice flavorful pesto, but a small amount of cheese that seems to only be present on the very outer edges, and no good crispy-ness at all. I know that Hitchcock can cook a great vegetable but they seem to have an incredibly strong meat focus at the expense of everything else. Even the biggest meat eaters might have family or friends that might want something veggie. It would be nice to have one sandwich option that isn't depressing. read more

Best food on the island. We got the pastrami sandwich and the tony soprano (or something like that) which is pictured. Amazing! read more

I'm a fan of the Hitchcock group and have been to the Seattle Café Hitchcock location, so it was nice to see there was one on Bainbridge Island when I visited. However, I am disappointed that the burger is no longer available, as I read that it was one of the best in the Seattle area from a local blogger. But, that's okay. At least there were other goodies. Plus, I wasn't looking for a meal since I visited right after lunch and just wanted a drink to pick-me-up. I had planned on ordering a coffee until I saw that they served on tap the Junbug Honeybrew Kombucha. I had to give that a try. Just note that on a Saturday afternoon, the place was busy. Most indoor tables were taken; however, there is outdoor seating. The strawberry kombucha was solid. I'm a fan of kombucha, and liked that Junbug Honeybrew is locally made and is a concoction of Brendan McGill's, so would not disappoint. Which it did not. For anyone who likes kombucha, it's worth trying. Or heck, if you haven't been to a Cafe Hitchcock, visit for delicious sandwiches, salads and small plates that are made fresh. I dig it. read more
