First time here and I must say that ambiance of this place needs improving. Dining room was so dark, did not recall if there were any background music as our party were engaged in conversation. Calamari- no taste whatsoever, I don't think it was even seasoned. even the breading and dip didn't help. Had to ask for some salt. Fish/ Chips- Just like the calamari....not seasoned and overcooked. Asked for sweet potato fries which was $3.95 extra (over- priced for a substitution) Fried Oysters were delicious Wild caught Salmon- overcooked, lemon garlic sauce made up for it so we weren't eating a dry piece of fish. Rice Pilaf and the broccolini was great. Chowder was SUPER SALTY, so many potatoes I was trying to search for the clams. Spiked Peach Tea cocktail- my drink was so watered down. Tasted a hint of tea, some alcohol and and no trace of peach with a dried lemon slice on the rim. Over-priced for the quality of food. Won't be back, at least we tried it. Waitress was awesome! read more

We ate here on a Saturday evening recently. We chose to sit on the patio because of a shorter wait for a table and it is good we did. There was a band that started playing after we sat down and it would have been impossible to engage in a conversation. inside the restaurant The service from Cheyanne was attentive. We had the Salmon and a Ruben. Both were very good. They have a good selection of beer and wine. read more

Pretty decent place a little busy prices were a little stiff, but had pizza and a couple beers it worked

Great food very friendly staff Things to eat: Oyster shooters the house made cocktail sauce was excellent. Pretzel with house made beer cheese excellent Spicy burger (forgot name)- Firstly I'd like to say when a restaurant asks how you like your burger cooked, you know they take pride in their product. Second it was Terrific! Cooked to perfection with a nice kick to it. Browny- It was addicting very, smooth,cakey and rich. I felt like I was at home from the moment we walked in. We will definitely be back and plan to buy some extra cocktail sauce and beer cheese too take home read more

Probably one of the best restaurants on fidalgo island. Had the oyster and chips. Waffle fries were a little over cooked, and the fried oysters were cooked perfectly. Def Recommend. read more

Good food great service! Megan our waitress, was swamped with the Fathers Day crowd yet managed everyone quite well. Our group ordered everything from pizza - BBQ sandwich- fish tacos . The fish n chips were Alaskan white fish - perfect. Waffled potatos were great. Fun bar - great brews from the local brewery next door- the IPA was spot on- crisp, citrus pine but not too bitter. Nice way to end Dad's Day! read more

Took our family of four to dinner on a Monday night. I'm not sure if it's B team Monday's but the service was awful. Eventually ordered drinks, had to ask two servers for the beer I ordered which showed up warm. The food was below average at best. There were at least two menu items that are apparently not available anymore. Overall a terrible experience. We won't be returning and are bummed as we used to really enjoy Rockfish. read more

Sooo good! I had the ghost pepper fish tacos and the beer ice cream for dessert. So yummy, we will definitely be back!

What a shame! Awesome pizza but horrible service! Been there twice. Thought maybe it was a bad day. The service was no improvement on the second visit! The pizza is firewood cooked and absolutely delicious. The service is totally lacklustre. It's a shame! The food is excellent! The staff requires training. Service does, indeed , make a difference. Will not go back. Lots of other choices in Anacortes, Washington where the service is awesome. read more

Yep. Definitely a good place to hang out, grab a beer, and people watch on a sunny day in Anacortes. I was starving, and despite the several recommendations for another place, I was just not in the mood for a $20 burger (with no fries). That's when I spotted the sign, a block away on Commercial Ave, and I was down. Of course, as it is attached to a brewery, I couldn't NOT get beer - but which?! Thankfully, a flight of 6 4oz pours is only $7.75 (which, if you do the math, is cheaper than a regular pint!), and gives you a good tasting of four staples, plus two seasonals of your choices. The Pucker Up was by far my favorite - I'm a sucker for sour beer, though. I didn't want to pay $20 for it, but I still wanted a burger, and the selections all looked so good, I could barely decide. I decided to go with my standard - mushroom and Swiss with bacon. It took a bit to arrive, but it was done well (and well-done...eh), and the waffle fries were delicious and crispy. There's malt vinegar right on the table, and our server was pretty attentive without hovering. The only thing that I was slightly disappointed about is that I was unable to specify how the burger was cooked - I'm into flavor and juicy meat, not hockey pucks - though it wasn't dry and lacking, despite it being cooked through. I'm happy to try the other things on the menu, and perhaps go back for a pint of the sour, but really, I think you'd have a hard time going wrong with anything here. read more

Why not three stars? Cilantro lime ranch with no trace of cilantro nor lime. Roasted corn? Maybe they roasted it in the can. Local food? I don't know. Brewer's salad had no grape tomatoes mentioned in the description. The place is nice. The food is good but way over priced; unless of course they honor the menu descriptions. It was mildly disappointing, but I admit, when I am critiquing, it's pretty critical. For the price I expected more. I got the feeling from the waitress that it was a usual roll of the dice for customer satisfaction. She was confident in the beer. It's hard to tell if they want to be a fish and chips kinda place or a serious purveyor of serious cuisine. It's not serious. The pizza crust is just too thick for a wood fired oven. [EDIT] I figured it out! It's under cooked pretzel dough pizza crust.....it's more like a chewy pretzel than a crust. 15$ for a personal sized pizza with enough dough for a large pizza. Bummer. By fresh Mozz. I wonder if they meant freshly grated? These guys need to up their game if they want to be taken seriously. I'm sorry but I wouldn't recommend coming here except for the beer. The sunrise IPA is good for sure, but didn't strike me as extraordinary. Darn it, I bet I spent 30$ for a less then stellar experience . read more

Friendly staff, good food! I got the marg pizza and my husband got fish and chips , both enjoyed our dinner !

We were in Anancortes delivering a load for a ship out to sea. We had a couple of days to kill waiting for the containers to come back to shore. Since we only had a couple of days we went from restaurant to restaurant ordering one thing on the menu and sharing. It's a great way to try all of the local eateries. We went to 6 places each day. I had the Brownies at the Rock Fish, and let me just say it's big enough for four people....Good thing I have 3 other people living in my head. I killed that Brownie A la Mode. My husband had the beer samplers which took him over the top because he had 3 beers at other restaurants. Good thing the Cap Sante Inn was within stumbling distance. They brew their own beer here....I don't drink but I wished they would come up with their own rootbeer. Anyhoo the service was so great. I didn't have bad service anywhere in this town. This place is a must go to place....ask about the history of the place...so interesting. My husband loved the beer although he can't remember that he loved it. Thanks for the fun memories. read more

Had really good food here. Pizza from their oven was awesome and great fish sandwich and clam chowder.

My husband and I visit breweries on a routine basis and unfortunately, although our servers were AMAZING, this is not somewhere we will not be returning to. The beer was decent but the food was tragic. The fries were dry and likely frozen from a bag and the fish tacos were mediocre. But my pizza was the worst pizza I've had. I was starving and tried to powered through 2 pieces but couldn't stomach to eat it. The crust was bland, the ingredients we're obviously from a can, nothing was fresh, and it was absolutely SMOTHERED in gorgonzola. It reminded me of something I would have been served in elementary School in a cafeteria. read more

Anacortes Brewery is the only game in town in Anacortes (though I suspect that will change as more homebrewers hit the professional scene as has been happening in Bellingham and around the Skagit Valley); but for now they are serving up decent pints and good pub-quality food from this spacious little corner spot on Commercial Ave. Be sure to check out their daily specials (we went on Thursday, when you can get a pint and a 1-topping pizza for just $9.99), or show up at 3 p.m. for their good happy hour deals. There's family seating in the "Rockfish Grill" portion of the restaurant, or if you're with the over-21 crowd just find a spot at their nice wooden bar. They also serve cocktails, wine, and cider in addition to their large selection of beer taps. read more

This was a nice little stop we made waiting for the ferry. We split a burger ("they won't split it but here's an extra plate" I guess it is a kitchen without knives) and it was very tasty. The beer was cold and the bartender was congenial . The service was quick. the place is bright and friendly. read more

We went to two different Yelp recommended restaurants that were full before we landed here. I'm super glad the other two places were full. Immediately the vibe of this place was perfect for us. Laidback, warm, just perfect for our night away from kids. The flatbread appetizer was really delicious - my favorite part being the kalamata olives. The fish and chips were SO good. Crispy and well-seasoned waffle fries, with a crispy crunchy batter on flaky fish. My husband ordered pizza and wasn't super impressed. He was expecting wood fired pizza but it looked a little anemic for that. Otherwise, a great experience! read more

A cute little brew pub that should be visited when in Anacortes. A group of 9 of us stopped here for lunch yesterday after walking the Anacortes Arts Festival. Free parking can be found on the street.Discover is an accepted form of payment. Tabs were split with ease. We stopped in later in the afternoon so we were seated promptly. The wait was 45+ minutes when we inquired earlier in the day. My wife and I each ordered pints of their amber for $5 each. Due to the festival, brew was only being served in plastic cups which I do not like. Nor was the brew very cold. For our lunch we shared the Beer Battered Fish Sandwich for $9.99: Alaskan white fish dipped in pilsner beer batter and quick fried. Served on a bun with red pepper remoulade, wild greens, tomato, pickle and onion. Served with waffle fries. The sandwich was delicious. The fries not so much. They were luke warm and under seasoned. Ketchup bottles should be located on the tables rather than being served as a side condiment. Everybody had to keep requesting more ketchup. Since I have dined here is the past and enjoyed it, I'm giving a solid 3 stars. My suggestion would be to increase the support team on known busy days so that top notch customer care can still be provided instead of having the staff running around haggard all day. Looking forward to better customer care next time Rockfish. read more

Took a long time to take our order, which they got wrong. Also felt was at the forgotten table as water refills were to the point of having to get their attention each time. Generally soft drinks are brought out before the food but had to remind them about it when the food was brought out. read more

We were extremely underwhelmed by the menu. We expected nice dining with lots of seafood options but we found ourselves in a dungy bar with restrooms that were dirty and literally falling apart. We got the Ciopinno and Etouffee. Ciopinno was bland and fishy. The tomato sauce tasted like it came from a can and overpowered the delicate flavors of the clams and muscles. The Alaskan white fish and shrimp were very dry. A bowl was placed upside down over the dish, with the rim of the bowl sitting tomato sauce. I was unable to remove it without creating a mess. The Etouffee was a brown pasty color, with a heap of flavorless yellow rice in the middle. I was unable to taste any of the seafood due to the pungency. The women's restroom was dirty and not maintained. Tiles were literally crumbling and falling out of the walls. It appeared as though the trash had not been removed for several days as paper towels were overflowing onto the floor. The laminate-particleboard doors were disintegrating due to moisture from lack of ventilation. Overall, the customer service is okay but the food and atmosphere is low quality and not worth $25 per plate. read more

We had a dinner with the kids here. Adults where happy with the fried fish and excellent oyster shooters. Kids pizza not so great. Good beer though read more

Let me just clarify that I have only been here twice. I am not impressed by the food here at all. Both times I ate here it was just okay. Fish & chips were mediocre. I had a salad the second time and it was just okay too. However I do like the music here and it is a great place to sit and relax & hear some good blues so I gave it 3 stars. It is funky and has a pub atmosphere. There's plenty of parking & it is downtown. read more

Long wait for food that was just not good. Went on a Saturday night, a band was going to play. An hour wait for a table, no problem. Went down the street and got a couple cocktails and an appetizer thank goodness because when we finally got our table for dinner it was last call for food at almost 2 hours later. Drinks were just fine and the atmosphere was good. Wait staff was friendly but my dinner was just gross. I set it aside. Got the crab Mac and cheese and it was like pure green onion in some kind of cheese dip with almost no noodles? Last time we ate here my husband got sick afterward so we will not be eating the food here again but I would come for drinks and live music. Plenty of great restaurants in town, they need to figure out what good food is. Although I did have ribs last time and they were decent. read more

I love the down to earth atmosphere and supper yummy food. I almost always get the fish and chips... my kid always gets pizza and my hubby changed it up every time... yum!!! read more

Sampled about every beer on the board I would say about half of them were decent. The food was average but the service was great if nothing else. read more

The food is amazing and the live music is excellent. Wonderful atmosphere and the service was awesome. I had the beer battered fish and chips which was super delish. The batter was light and the fish was cooked perfectly. Others in my group ordered Etouffee, and pizza. We were all so happy with our food. What a treat! Definitely will go back again next time we go to Anacortes! read more

Bad food, equally bad service. Stopped in for a late lunch today since we were in town. Waited to be seated even tho there were only two other tables full, waitress was busy texting at the bar. Owner possibly came over and sat us after hearing her tell us to "hold on". After 5 min a waiter came over, Russell (?), and hurriedly took our orders. Asked what was good and he told is several things, got the impression he hadn't really eaten anything on the menu. Asked three times for straws for it water before finally getting some. Waited 25 minutes for a burger and fish tacos. Both were cold upon arrival, burger order was wrong. More people showed up, however less than half the tables were full but with 3 staff plus an owner there was no reason food should have been cold. Didn't check on us one time. Rushed the lady at the table next to us once he dropped off her check, went back twice to check on "paperwork". Hope she didn't leave a tip, he didn't check on them once after dropping their food either. Next time I won't let hunger get the best of me, I'll remember to yelp first. read more

Outdoor seating is available on a tented area. Server was very friendly. Food was served promptly. Portions were large. I love their Original IPA. The coconut prawns were delicious. The rockfish Florentine was drowned by the heavy cream sauce, but the broccoli side was prepared perfectly as were the potatoes. read more

The was out first dine out experience since covid and it was lovely. Our server was awesome. The place is very clean and everyone was wearing masks. We had one of their wood fired pizzas and the crust was perfection. Very nice place for a casual meal that consists of good food and excellent service. We just moved to Anacortes and will definitely go again. read more

OK so I didn't eat there so my ratings are just for the beer, staff and ambiance. Stop in there if you have a thirst....perhaps some of the best brews on the west coast :-) read more

AWESOME place to eat outside with kids on a nice summer night! The food was excellent and the kids had a blast playing cornhole (bartender has the bean bags) and tag in the "Rock Garden". The pizzas we ordered were wonderful. AMAZING crust! The sweet potato waffle fries were fantastic as well! I ordered the ghost pepper fish tacos because I like spicy food. I probably wouldn't order them again because the flavor was almost just like hot wings. The oyster shooters are a little too big to "shoot" down in one slurp, but were DELICIOUS. read more

Always good food and friendly service. I love to order the beer flight and let the bartender choose. She never goes wrong!

My son had the Waffle fries were over cooked and Fried oysters were undercooked overall the oysters still weren't bad, I had the fish and chips the two piece was good breading was a little bit thick of clam chowder was delicious the cheese and pretzel that was good I must try. read more

Had a late lunch/early dinner at the Rockfish Grill on Sunday and it was so tasty! We were in Anacortes for an event earlier in the day and wanted to get a meal before we headed home, this establishment was recommended to us by several locals and we were so glad we ate there. We were a party of 6 and 2 of the party were afraid because of the name of the restaurant that they only served seafood but thankfully the Rockfish Grill has something to offer for all different tastes. From delicious steaks to pot pies, bbq pork sandwiches and lucky for me grilled salmon everyone enjoyed their meal. Our server was friendly and helpful and although the restaurant was busy she never skipped a beat with us. She had terrific menu suggestions, was quick with beverage refills and patient with all our different questions. I also highly recommend the berry cobbler for dessert, it was delicious. The atmosphere is fun and although the seating area is quite large it felt cozy and relaxing. We will definitely be back! read more

Rockfish Grill Anacortes, Washington Ordered: Happy Hour Menu BBQ Pork Sliders. $3 Nachos $4 Hot Wings $6 Great deals on the Happy Hour Menu ! Note the pork slider is one small slider for $3 which was fine with me because I only ordered it to take the pork off the bread and add it to my nachos. The salsa was very flavorful! The wings were good not to hot there were about six. This restaurant & bar has a very cool, trendy vibe. It seems out of place in Anacortes because this town screams country style living and this place is much more up to date. I wish I had tried this place earlier when I first arrived. I highly recommend this restaurant and "I'll be back" !! (said in my best T2 accent) read more

Wow! So awesome I can't say anything bad.. service was fast and friendly. The best oysters ever and loved the waffle fries! Four of us enjoyed oysters, fish tacos, bbq burgers, rock fish Florentine, and calamari appetizer! All wonderful. read more

man, did this place deliver!! Etoufee was superb. Kids menu was insane with portion size. Salmon incredibly fresh. Wait staff so great. And the beer sampler: $9 for six beers. Are you kidding me? read more

Chose this place because of the variety of food options their menu offered. I wanted pizza and hubby wanted seafood. I ordered French fries, but instead I got hashtag French fries, which were a great and fun starter for me. My husband started off with an oyster martini that he says was amazing. For our main dish I ordered the margarita pizza and added pepperoni. I'm not a big fan of crust, but this one was good and flaky. I didn't get our server's name but she was great. Definitely a must for for visitors. P.S. they are not really called hashtag fries. :) read more

The Rockfish Grill rocks for delicious food and tasty brews. Their burgers come in many yummy variations, with sweet potato crinkle cut fries (or regular fries) on the side. The Jumbo Shrimp dinner is also fantastic. I have also enjoyed their fish tacos. They have a wide array of local brews to accompany your meal. The service is great as well! Give Rockfish a visit; you won't be disappointed. read more
