    Shrimp fettuccine alfredo & steak & patatoes

    Great and fun atmosphere. We had a wonderful waitress/bartender cannot remember her name but I believe she was 75.. She was the sweetest great conversation. food was good. We had the steak and the shrimp fettuccine Alfredo. I enjoyed it when are the better meals we had in whidbey. But honestly, it was the waitress/bartender that made our night.

    Food was wonderful! We enjoyed the crab melt and the fish and chips! Chris was a great server! Very warm and welcoming. There are great views of the water too!

    Krakens Cove is a brand new bar/eatery on Pioneer Way in Oak Harbor. I really like the decor and the ambiance. There is a flat screen TV with external speakers flanking it on a wall with a small, raised stage in front of it. From what I understand it's for Karaoke, but I haven't seen it used for that. There are 10 tables for dining and a bar with 10 barstools. There is a smaller bar with 5 barstools that separate the under-21 area from the over-21 area. The food ranges from burgers to Entres. I apologize for not taking a photo of the menu, but from what I understand, it changes quite often. Today, I enjoyed dining on their S.A.R. Burger with coleslaw. The burger is Angus beef topped with fried calamari, cheddar cheese, swiss cheese, lettuce, onion, and tomato with an aioli sauce. I had a choice of fries, coleslaw, or for an extra fee, chowder. I chose to have the coleslaw. The burger was very juicy and tasty. The fried calamari gave the burger a nice, unique flavor with a hint of the ocean. I guess one could call it a surf and turf burger! Krakens Cove features 5 draft beers and one draft cider. There is also a nice selection of vodka, scotch, whiskey, tequila, and wine. (The photo of behind the bar is from one of their "soft openings" and does not have all the current selections depicted)

    Really good food and nice menu. Service was excellent. Fun Place at Krakens Cove. If we ever get back to the island we will stop here again. Keep up the good work.

    New Menu

    SO glad this place is back open! They have the best New England Clam Chowder on Whidbey Island. The new menus are awesome. I especially love the half crab melt sandwich/soup combo and bacon wrapped prawns Can't wait until they open for lunch more weekdays!

    First time eating here. We tried once before but it was an hour wait time to get in. The ambiance is pretty cool. Just sat ourselves in the warmest place we could find. The thermostat said 63 degrees F. It was pretty cold. The waitress was really nice but seemed a little unsure of herself. I ordered a meal based on the baked potato that came with it. My wife was going to have that so I ordered some fries on the side. My meal came before the app which was a cup of chowder. The chowder was actually pretty good. We had to wait quite awhile for our food then waited some more because we didn't have any forks or spoons. I was not impressed with the entre at all. The food was cold and kinda just plain. I ordered the steak "medium" and it came well past done. The crab was REALLY cold and didn't taste very fresh. I never did get my salad and the waitress forgot to tell us they didn't have baked potato's so my wife just sat and watched me eat. All in all. Not somewhere she would want to come back. I hoping it's just growing pains and the owners can make a few adjustments. Please update your menu so it's accurate. People need silverware to eat. Maybe have a few more options JIC you run out of potato's. Good luck!!!

They are incredible juicy with their special sauce, pickle, tomato and lettuce. The patties are NOT thin and NOT like a thin fast food burger. Even the brioche buns are a perfect pairing. Thick, juicy and an ultimate hangry killer! Honestly some of the best burgers we've had in a long while. And the prices are insanely reasonable. $12 for a big burger and fries. I couldn't even finish it all. Also these have this really awesome Burger Challenge for $50. If you can finish it all in 30min it's free with a free winner shirt. It's a 6 patty cheese burger, 3 grilled cheese, 12 pieces of bacon and pieces of brisket. But comparing our large burger to the description above, I think it would be a difficult challenge. The employees are very friendly, helpful and happy. This truck is definitely worth the drive. Located right by the main entrance of Deception Pass State Park. And they have wayyyyyy better prices than the burgers at Shrimp Shack. I can't wait to come back!!

My husband got the one that has an onion ring (kinda like a western burger, forgot the name) and I got the inferno. I'll start by saying the fries were perfectly cooked and I thought they had a good flavor to them. The burger was also good. I asked for the inferno sauce on the side, cause the burger already has jalapeño on it, and boy am I glad I did. The sauce was too hot for my liking. No biggie just kept it off, it tasted great without it and wasn't dry or anything. I will definitely go back another time.

Relax - this is a small place with a small staff and even smaller kitchen: If you're in a rush, or the impatient type, this ain't it. But if you like to sit a spell and chat with your people as you enjoy friendly, knowledgeable staff (you're likely to be served by the owners themselves), a craft cocktail, relish a lovely meal, then polish it off with one of Jane's amazing desserts (salted caramel brownie à la mode, anyone?), then we'll see you at The Rex, because we will definitely be back! We were a large group (10) on a busy night and Jane and crew handled us beautifully. Our table enjoyed steak salads, the pork tenderloin, the chicken linguine, cod risotto, clam chowder, a Reuben (huge!), and flank steak. Dessert was outstanding - choose from Lopez Island Creamery ice cream (huge scoops), or one of Jane's scratch-baked treats (pies, key lime bars, brownies, cookies, more). The salted caramel brownie à la mode melted in my mouth. It was excellent, you could taste each component - the fudgy brownie, the creamy caramel, the occasional crunch of salt = 10/10, no notes, don't miss it. Great vibe, loved seeing so many familiar faces coming and going, so happy to have The Rex Bistro in the valley.

Five months ago, on a Saturday or Sunday, my boyfriend and I had lunch at The Baked Cafe. The burgers were good, the buns were mediocre, and the fries were outstanding. The meal was over $40, without drinks. The owner was the only person working. After reading other reviews, we expected a wait, but over a half hour was excessive. There are only two booths, and we were lucky to get one. Because of this, you may end up taking your food to go or eating outside. I left a honest review after our experience, and the owner responded (more like reacted) quite unprofessionally. He mentioned Wednesdays; we were not there on a Wednesday. He mentioned that if we prefer "nutty" (it's Nutty's) or "five guy" (it's Five Guys), that he "felt sorry" for us. Well, I won't feel sorry for him when his business fails.
