Food was overpriced and mediocre. Service was interesting, we waited a good 20 minutes standing in the lobby waiting to be acknowledged, someone who worked there was leaving and as they walked past us said someone would be with us shortly, same person came back at least 10 minutes later walked past us with no further acknowledgment. When someone finally came out of the Kitchen we were asked if we had reservations, the place had one table with customers otherwise no other patrons non of the tables had reserved signs and nobody came in while we were there. I find that pretentious. We said no..... she didn't respond in any way other than to grab 4 menus and walk us to our table. She walked into the kitchen which was directly across from our table and said in an irritated voice, "we have a 4 top walk in." We sit quite a while longer before anyone emerges. Finally the lady that seated us arrives to take our order. No sorry for the wait or any kind of acknowledgment just "Are you ready to order?" We ordered, it came out, was exactly what I thought it would be (my sister had heard it was fabulous and had her heart set on trying it is the only reason we stayed). Food that is trying to hard and fails. The only food we found worth the price was the cheesecake which was very creamy and out of this world. We will not be back.... The interior is clean and there are some divider screen type features between some of the tables. read more

The food was extraordinary, ambiance was warm and comfortable, servers were attentive. Great local food served creatively and with lovely presentation. I will definitely return! read more

Very nice restaurant in a beautiful setting. Food was very good and service was excellent. We had Salmon and Fried Chicken...both great choices. We want to return and try some of their smaller portions so we will be able to enjoy some of their tempting desserts. read more

So many good things! Bacon wrapped figs....yes, please! Tomato soup....wishing there was more! Everything was delicious and the service was attentive but not overwhelming. Thank you Piper! Our setting was a small 2 person table in the walkway between the kitchen and the bar, while I would not want to be seated there again, I would if it meant I got to eat that food again! read more

If you want the TLDR, it's worth the drive and the price tag. Just go and enjoy yourself. I had been dying to try Cob & Cork since they opened, and I was finally given the chance. It's a small industrial-designed place with greys, wood, and black accents. It's more modern minimalism with a bit of rustic charm. There is a full bar, and Lauren, our server, was by far one of the best I've had in this state. She is worth mentioning by name and definitely worth asking to sit in her section. She was knowledgeable, thoughtful, made good suggestions, and ensured our visit was truly an experience. We started with drinks, and the hibiscus margarita is incredibly tasty. Actually, ALL the drinks we had were inventive and delicious. One drink was made slightly wrong, and Lauren had the bar remake it. I would definitely order something off their specialty menu because you won't find another place in the area with such pretty presentation or combination of flavors. The food was enormous portions, delicious, and everything was perfect. The ahi tuna was perfectly cooked - seared on the outside with sesame seeds, and a magenta color in the middle. I had the jaeger schnitzel, which was pounded thin and super crispy (AND THAT BERRY COMPOTE!!!), and the mushroom topping on top was fabulous. While the ribs weren't smoked, and they were more crockpot/baked style, they were still fall off the bone. We did order dessert and as a special touch, she put candles on them "just because, just to celebrate." I didn't taste the chocolate dessert, but the strawberry rhubarb crumble was heavenly, especially with the glass of port to go with it (don't skimp, order it!). It was truly one of the nicest dinners I've been to in a long time. The food and drinks were good, but Lauren put it over the top for us. We will definitely be back and encourage our friends to try it - the more the merrier! read more

Such a cute little bar and restaurant with fantastic food. If you are doing Chuckanut Drive or visiting Bow in Skagit Valley, give this place a try, I loved the Street Corn. Nice attentive staff as well. read more

Wonderful welcome for our 12th anniversary. Service from the door staff, all through until we left was wonderful! Having options for half portions at brunch is great. Food was delicious and so were the mimosa flights!! We love Cob & Cork and will always return for more beautiful memories!! read more

We came here on a Sunday for brunch to meet a friend-our first time. Our drinks were made quickly, and it was good, a roobious lavender late (1 pump of syrup instead of 2), bloody mary, and coffee. To start, we got an order of biscuits that were warm, fresh, buttery, delicious, and for sure homemade. Our meals were fantastic, pulled pork hash and bennys. After arriving, i started reading the reviews on yelp and was puzzled about the low rating stars. We had a nice time, patrons got their food promptly, and seemed to enjoy their meal. read more

Nice restaurant in Bow WA that has a cozy modern decor. Food is very good but I wish they would offer a few dinner specials to give a bit of variety to the somewhat small dinner menu. Desserts and cocktails are always wonderful. The brunch is extra yummy. I highly recommend this local gem for a great dining experience. read more

Caeser salad, tomato soup, oysters, mushroom flatbread, and crabcakes were our order. All great, if Not Slightly small portions. The level farmhouse beer from Burlington was awesome. Complex for IPA. The rhubarb crumble with housemade ice cream was to die for. read more

Great food, drinks, ambiance and service! Have been there a few times and great everytime!

Huge disappointment. Was really looking forward to this place, based upon the great things we heard about it. But they were out of entrees by 6:30 p.m., the food was meh - virtually no crab in the lukewarm crab mac and cheese - and the service was indifferent, at best. Dessert menus were passed out, but no one followed up to ask if we actually wanted dessert. A real F Troop performance. Beware. read more

What a great find! Very cozy place with great food and friendly service. Definitely worth the beautiful drive to the Bow / Edison area.

The food was excellent and so was our service! Lauren is so professional and knows so much about the food and perfect wine pairings, she made our evening! We could not have asked for a better evening! But it was the great service by Lauren that made it that way! Thank you! read more

My husband and I have lived in Skagit for 7 years. We've tried a lot of restaurants and either have been disappointed or our impression was 'that was alright.' Cob + Cork checked all the boxes from start to finish. Great service, nice atmosphere, clean, more great service, and fantastic food! The food was incredible! My only regret is that we hadn't tried this restaurant sooner. We will definitely be going back. read more

My friend and I were looking for a new place to go for brunch last weekend, and we ran across Cob & Cork on Yelp and knew we had to try it. It's a little off the beaten path, which adds to its charm, but soon enough we arrived and were seated quickly. We started with two bloody mary's, which were huge (we barely finished them) and had that classic, semi-spicy, briney taste that makes a brunch feel like, well, brunch. My friend ordered the farmer's breakfast and I had the brioche bennie. Both were visually gorgeous and my bennie was fantastic. The brioche added a subtle sweetness that was contrasted with the creamy hollandaise sauce and zesty arugula. There was also a hefty order of bacon, and some of the best hash browns I've ever had. My friend enjoyed her farmer's breakfast as well. The service was phenomenal, friendly but not intrusive, and the atmosphere was intimate and bright. It looked like it would be a fun place to come back to on a date. Also, I'm dying to sit in the wicker "pod" chair in the bar and sip a glass of bubbly. Life goals! Apparently this place has been here for a year! I had no idea, but I loved it and will definitely be back again. read more

Finally we're able to make it to Cobb and Cork. Had tried a few times but weather and a case of Covid got in our way! Happy this place was as awesome as we were anticipating! Highly recommend getting a reservation. You can do it online or call during business hours. They have great signature cocktails,beers on tap, wine and a full bar. We started out with The Brie and some Oysters. The Brie had a nice honey taste, with walnuts and strawberry served with it. Very delicious. Small sweet oysters served with a house made cocktail sauce. All was very tasty. Everyone loved their entrees, I had the schnitzel. Served with brown gravy, delicious roasted vegetables, and tasty glazed brussel sprouts. My meal was delicious!!! The service is awesome. This would be a great date night place! Go check em out! read more

The atmosphere is nice. We were celebrating a birthday, they'd added a couple of notecards on the table with "Happy Birthday." The Caesar salad was soggy and not flavorful. The clams were smaller than a dine and over steamed; making them super dry and rubber. The clam broth super salty and lacking flavor. The breaded pork loin was paper thin and dry, it was more oanko than meat. The steak kebab was the only entree enjoyed. Most of us left hungry. Super disappointed. :(. read more

This is my favorite place by far! Exceptional service, outstanding food, and drinks! The staff were very professional and very nice! read more

Excellent food (Land & Sea options), including excellent ahi, steamed clams, oysters on the half shell, and steak, as well as other bistro type meals. The service was friendly, helpful and truly excellent. The ambiance is cozy, comfortable and nice casual. Great for date night, girls night out, or a nice family gathering. We will definitely be back! read more

Wonderful ambiance- casual yet structured. You'l feel comfortable no matter if you're in dressy attire or jeans. The service is warm and wonderful-knowledgeable wait staff adjusts to demeanor of the table. The food. Oh the food. And drink- the bartender is a showman in shaking that martini! Back to the food- My group consisted of myself and three friends from the Midwest. During the 9 day visit I took them to a variety of places that served seafood as that was their expressed interest. Our evening at Cob & Cork was the grand finale as they were leaving the next day. all agreed that this was, by far, the best experience. Raw Oysters on ice to share- They enjoyed Salmon, Prawns and Ahi. I had the Jaeger Schnitzel and loved it. (After all, I live here and I'd had enough seafood during their visit!) we ordered 2 desserts and all 4 of us shared. Have I already stated that they voted this place superior to all others experienced during this trip? That includes notable selections from Seattle-Skagit Valley and Victoria. Thank you-it was a such a memorable evening. We smiled all the way to my place. read more

My husband and I went here for my birthday brunch and were so impressed with everything from the lattes to the Dungeness Crab Benedict and Tres Leches French toast. Very generous servings and reasonable prices, but more important to us - high quality ingredients (the crab was so fresh) and the chef obviously knows what he's doing - there was such a refined balance of ingredients. The French toast wasn't too sweet and the hollandaise wasn't too heavy. Even though it was decadent, the ingredients and cooking was so clean and classy that we felt great afterwards! Can't believe our luck that such a high quality establishment for both dinner and Sunday brunch is so close by to us and in the lovely setting of Skagit Valley. read more

Cob & Cork - Tres leches French toast with berries, maple syrup and cream - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Bow, Washington

My wife and I took our daughter this past weekend to celebrate her birthday. We decided to go for a dinner service because we had been there for a breakfast/brunch service and were super impressed with the quality of the food and wanted to see what they go do for dinner. We arrive early and were seated right away. Our daughter appreciated the happy birthday card. Ordered drinks which were delivered, and while tasty, one showed up that definitely was not one that was ordered, but the bartender insisted was correct. (Gin drinks don't come with salted rims on the glass) Moving on to food: Appetizer and salads were on point and delicious. Main courses: Daughter's course (Crabcakes) everything cold. My course (6 oz Angus Tenderloin) everything cold. Wifes course (Fried Jidori Chicken), served directly from the fryer and hot, but sides cold. It's obvious the kitchen did not have times right to ensure everything was served hot. Additionally, requested a glass of red wine that took so long to be delivered, I was already done with my meal when it finally showed up. At no time did the server swing by to ask how our meal was going, but she did focus her attention on locals seated at nearby tables. We were very disappointed with the quality of the food that was served to us on this special occasion. My daughter remembered us hyping up this place up after our experience with the brunch service and was excited to try it for dinner but in the end, we were all disappointed and unimpressed. read more

This place is excellent. The Ahi Tuna is served so you get a perfect bite each time & the Firebread is amazing.

We gave Cob & Cork another try for dinner last night. To sum it up, we both finished our meal, looked at each other, and said, "meh." We had the Ahi - just okay. The salmon rice bowl, again just ok and the salmon definitely did not taste fresh. We've had better rice bowls at a brewery in Bellingham. We also had roasted brussel sprouts - again just ok. I make better ones at home. My husband had two pricey cocktails and he said both were just average. The best thing about C&C is the atmosphere. I really don't think we'll be back. read more

We've been here three times in the past 4 years. Service is always good as is the atmosphere and location. We've also enjoyed the cocktails. Our only gripe is that the food looks good but is usually meh. Both of our meals had very little flavor. I noticed a similar critique in other reviews. We'll probably give them another try but I hope they make some adjustments to their food. I can pay about the same price for dinner just up the road at the Oyster Bar which has always had amazing food. read more

What a delightful stop! An elegant venue with a creative menu. We wanted to try so many things. We started with grapefruit elderberry mimosas. Then vanilla lattes. We tried the corn chowder - thick and steaming! Would have been even more perfect with a little bacon. We also had the garlic confit with toast points. Really delicious. Hubbs had their hamburger and they cooked it to perfection - and the buns were toasted. Served with LTOP and homemade catsup and garlic aoli. Yum! I ordered one of their daily specials - the pulled pork Benedict. Very tasty! Excellent service team - thank you Eric for the recommendations and great service. read more

Ample portion of shrimp(9) , not prawns as stated on the menu. Mostly tasteless. Seemed to have been boiled and then merely introduced to the grill without seasoning.

Likely will not return nor recommend. read more

We have dined here twice this week, dinner and Sunday brunch and both meals were exceptional. Living close to Bellingham I have eaten at the all the top restaurants there, many times and this place is as good or better than any of them. There is depth in the menu and drinks, coffee is excellent, ingredients fresh and well presented, dishes show flair and an understanding of how ingredients work together. The chefs really know their stuff. This place is 5 stars. I couldn't fault it read more

First i would like to note the service has always been fantastic, punctual, attentive, and respectful. Bartender always knows how to crack a joke and he can mix a mean drink. I've dined in a few times with large groups so i manage to snag bites of many items, some items are decent some dishes I am surprised made it out of the kitchen. French toast, schnitzel, stromboli are all fine dishes but the corn tortilla soup was bland and flavorless, cold eggs and hashbrowns, the burger soggy, and the size of the tenderloin underwhelming for the price you're paying. My main complaint though is when my partners jidori fried chicken came out raw. About 2mm of cooked meat and then the rest was raw chicken, it makes me question if they temp their meat. The server handled it appropriately though, he comped our wine bottle and got us new chicken but i still expect a higher standard from the kitchen. i don't think this restaurant can call itself farm to table. its false advertisement. Some of their items are from local farms but a lot of their big items are from corporations. Over some causal talk with the staff i found out the shrimp, pork, and angus tenderloin are all from the chef store. Low quality and cheap. Farm supply nearly stops in the winter and its just from bulk stores. I wouldn't recommend this restaurant. There are much more interesting local finds. read more

It's a cozy atmosphere and I love Bow. The service was good and attentive. The cocktails were pretty good and unique as well. The real problem was the food. It was not worth the price. We got the fries with sauce appetizer and it was only okay. The St. Louis style ribs were not great. I can appreciate inflation and cost of goods and labor but not for the quality of food and flavors. I don't think I'll be going back, unfortunately. I really wanted to like this place. read more

Food was mediocre to fair, nothing special? Service made up for the so/so food This place has been a lot of different restaurants thru the years? read more

Great service. The menu is diverse enough. The place is cozy and romantic. We had the baguette with olive oil, clam chowder, a side of crab cake and the schnitzel. Everything tasted good but not great. The restaurant is a bit pricy considering that it is in the middle of nowhere. read more

Everything was really good, until i ordered the Bacon+egger burger. This is a $17 "burger", which is described as followed: BURGERS Fried egg, Hempler's Bacon, cheddar +avocado. add a 1/4 lb. smash beef patty +$9. So... me thinking "Its called a burger" assumed that this had a hamburger patty, and the $9 on top of the $17 was to add a second patty. So I didn't request that(that would bring it up to $26 which is quite a bit for a burger lol) Everyone's food came out, it all looked very good(and it was as far as everyone could tell) But when i noticed my burger had no burger I thought for sure there was a mistake. I asked the waiter, Hey I think my patty is missing. He said "Oh... Yeah I was just informed of that too". Look, if your going to call it a burger, it should *contain burger*. I understand prices go up, but $17 for bun, bacon, egg and cheese is silly. At $17 it should at least have a wee patty. Not expecting some quarter pound monster, but a patty at least. Its not a burger without a patty. Its just a sandwich. The menu is IMO misleading on this entree. -A very disappointed customer. read more
