Simply prepared food that is absolutely delicious! They smoke their own salmon. Informal atmosphere, with attentive staff.

Overheard a conversation that salmon house is privately owned, so it makes it easier for them to source more local salmon! There's really slim pickings in the area - and was so glad we ate here instead. Blackened salmon was delicious, the baked potato was simple but good. Skip the wings - they were underwhelming and don't come with carrots or celery! read more

I highly recommend this place if you like salmon and are in the area. This spot was close by and had better reviews than the restaurant where we are staying. We're traveling with 3 kids 6 and under. So, we got carry out. Food was ready within 30 minutes. The fried mushrooms were very large and delicious. I had the salmon with dill sauce and my husband had the blackened pepper jelly salmon. Both with broccoli and rice. The salmon filets were large sized. They were cooked well and very flavorful. The rice was pretty good. The broccoli was a very small serving and was bland, but okay. They do have a simple kids menu. read more

Incredible views and good food. I had their blackened salmon and it was perfectly cooked. Their turtle molten bundt cake with ice cream and their fruit of the forest pie were delicious as well. read more

Best meal we've ever had in our visits to the Lake Quinalt area. I'm not a professional fish biologist (although I've always wanted to play one on TV), but I know a perfectly blackened salmon steak when I see one. Upon closer examination I made 100% sure it was juicy on the inside. My wife's baked salmon was perfectly cooked as well. Seasonal broccoli could have used some seasoning or caramelized onions or something. Special dessert of blueberry house-made cheesecake was awesome: the compote wasn't overly sweet so it ended a fine meal overlooking the lake. Wines by the glass were inexpensive ($10) but also limited to house selections of Chardonnay (a bit watery), Pinot Gris (crisp and appley), and the Riesling (didn't try). A wider white wine selection (and maybe flights?) would be an improvement since salmon is the name of the game here. Great service and seating is oriented to try to give as many customers as possible a view of Lake Quinalt even if you're not seated by a window (we weren't). Full bar too. read more

You MUST order salmon at the Salmon House! And maybe their spaghetti too :) We drove past this lovely restaurant overlooking a lake on our way to a waterfall. We didn't have signal, but I imagine if you're one of the residents at the nearby inn, you have wifi access. We came around 4pm, and there was no wait. Our waiter was super friendly and recommended based on our preferences. I don't think you can go wrong with any of the choices. Prices are on the higher side, but this is definitely a more rural area and it was hard for us to find a place to eat. By the time we were done eating at around 6pm, there was a LINE out the door... and this was a weekday too! A pretty popular spot, don't miss it as you tour the beautiful state.

Scenic restaurant along the shore of a lake. Food here was delicious and reasonably priced. We had the blackened salmon and jelly salmon (blackened but with a sweet and spicy sauce). Both were delicious but I preferred the jelly salmon. read more

Wonderfully delicious salmon in the Olympic National Park area. Located on Lake Quinault, the restaurant has beautiful views of the lake, trees, and the beautiful nature of the area. The restaurant specializes in Salmon, which is the most popular PNW fish. And it delivers. Try the chipotle crust salmon. Perfect blend of sweet/spicy. The fish was fresh, perfectly cooked and tender. Service was also friendly and attentive. The blackened salmon is another hit. read more

Chairs are uncomfortable and from the 80's. Salmon is good. Ran out of clam chowder, potatoes and smoked salmon on a slow Saturday night on Memorial Day weekend. If you bring your own wine, they charge you a $15 cork fee. Because if you buy wine across the street at the station and add $15 then you have their normal price for wine. Between 630 and 8 o'clock, the sun is right in your eyes. Blinding. Otherwise, there's no other food around really. At least not a restaurant. One beer is a dollar more than a six pack 30 feet across the street. read more

The place is adorable, super clean and has the best view of Lake Quinault!!! Absolutely outstanding gorgeous views! The food is awesome! I had the blackened salmon with pepper jam and my husband had the thyme salmon. Both were absolutely perfectly cooked and the blackened salmon was also perfectly prepared, which is not easy! The staff was amazing! This was middle of winter at Lake Quinault/Olympic National Park, there was one server for a full restaurant, and he was super kind, funny and clearly was proud of the food he was serving. The Salmon House also has a full bar. Highly recommend it! Will definitely come back! read more

The Salmon House is located in Quinault right on the shores of Lake Quinault. This is a great place to enjoy dinner with a view. Salmon House is open in the evenings and serves a variety of seafood, steaks, chicken, pasta and salads. They also specialize in salmon (obviously). I had been in Washington all week hiking and sightseeing at both Olympic and Mount Rainier National Parks and was looking forward to a nice sit-down meal on the final night of my trip. I ordered the Tempura Prawns with some rice and vegetables. The service was nice and my overall experience was great. Afterwards, I was able to step outside and catch the sunset over Lake Quinault. Coming here was a relaxing way to end my trip. read more

In the state of Washington the salmon is of abundance for our dinner. With about 6 options of salmon dishes for a group of 8 we chose blackened salmon, dill salmon and baked salmon. All were delicious but it seems like Dill salmon was the most moist. We also ordered spaghetti and some cheesy bread for the kiddos. They ran out of clam chowder for the night. This restaurant does take reservations where our waters were already waiting on the table for us. If you're early enough you can enjoy the view of Lake Quinalt. The restaurant had a couple rooms where we sat in the first room closest to the entrance. The 2nd partition had a bar, a music jukebox and an all blue seats and seemed a bit darker. Bathrooms each have 2 stalls. The service was excellent as the waitress provided extra napkins as well. Her fave was the Dill salmon too. They also provide WiFi but it's definitely slow. Would come back again. read more

Probably the best restaurant in the area. In a more populous area it might not be popular, but the remoteness of lake quinault limits the options to a few slim pickings, and the salmon house has reasonably good food and friendly staff. Lara was an excellent server, and we enjoyed the view of the evening sun on the lake during our meal. That being said, the salmon and New York strip weren't the best I've had, but still tasty. Would visit again if staying in the area. read more

Hands down , the BEST restaurant near Lake Quinault! ( in Olympus National Park in Washington) Luckily,we just happened to pass their parked van that advertised their establishment near our Lodge. Kinda wish we had discovered this restaurant sooner. Definitely would have eaten here again during our visit. Great view of Lake Quinault in their dining room. There is a small bar too! ( 6-8 seats) Hostess and waitress were both friendly. Our server came by numerous times to check if we were ok and needed anything . Obviously, their specialty is salmon. They have numerous ways they can prepare it : baked, broiled, dill , blackened, blackened with pepper jelly. I got the blackened with pepper jelly which had Cajun seasoning and sweet jelly. It was soooo delicious. My daughter got the dill salmon which was topped with a dill/ mayo sauce that she really enjoyed. They have other food choices , but why order anything else since there they do salmon so well. All entrees come with one side ( baked potato, mashed potatoes or rice pilaf ) and vegetable of the day. We got broccoli today . We ate every last bit of our salmon meal . It was very enjoyable and I strongly recommend this restaurant , especially if you like salmon! read more

I got there far closer to closing than I'd like but was pleased they still seated me graciously. My server was fantastic and recommended both the beers and salmon I ended up getting. 20/10 recommendations all around. You could not ask for a better view of the magnificent sunset over the lake and mountains. My server checked in often and kept me sated. I realized it was well past the closing time when I was finished eating and apologized to many responses of "no worries". Everyone here was focused on making this the great experience it was. read more

My wife and I ate at the Salmon House last week. So good, we had dinner there 2 nights in a row! The food, service and view were stellar. The Merriman Falls mushrooms made us come back. These were without a doubt the best deep fried mushrooms we have ever eaten. The incredibly crunchy batter was perfect and they were not oily at all. The salmon dinners we ate were top notch and fresh. Also recommend the deep fried cod with the same coating as on the mushrooms. Best restaurant meal we have had in years. read more

Absolutely loved this spot. The view was so pretty and they quickly sat out group of 15. The sweet server did an amazing job and was super friendly and patient with all of our kids. We had old fashions to drink and we each got different salmon and everyone thought their own salmon was the best. I got the dill salmon and it was "dill-licious" our kids ate all of their fried shrimp and the smoked salmon appetizer was so good! Woukd highly recommend it and you can walk to the largest spruce tree in the world from here. We would definitely eat here again! So good and so fun! read more

Salmon is a PNW tradition and dinner at the Lk Quinault Salmon House is excellent. Rustic surroundings and great service make this a restaurant not to miss. Fresh salmon cooked to perfection and several popular choices like tempura prawns, vegetarian fettuccini and steaks provide great choices. Try the peppered jelly blackened salmon, you will thank me for the recommendation. read more

What a great place overlooking Lake Quinault. Staff was friendly, accommodating and efficient. Portions were large and menu was great. We each had salmon and it was cooked to perfection. Would recommend this place. read more

Broiled salmon was perfect. Not dry. Pie for dessert , tender crust, nice mix of fruit. Would return.

We've been coming to the Salmon House nearly every year for our 32 married years. The food is always delicious and the staff amazing (although yesterday we had more attention from the other servers and the bus staff than our waitress, who spent most of her time behind the bar visiting with her friends). Always a wonderful dining experience, but I miss their chicken dishes, there are none now other than chicken strips on the kids menu. read more

Fabulous dinner! Best salmon we've ever had! We had the blackened salmon with pepper jelly. Nice atmosphere; nothing fancy but great service! read more

We had a wonderful dinner on our last night in Quinault. It got busy after we were seated, shortly after 530pm. The server, who seemed to effortlessly work the entire dining room, was nothing short of pleasant and amazing. She used to work at the Lodge we were staying at and was so friendly and helpful. She made our dinner experience so memorable and enjoyable- hate to say it but we were regretting that we didn't eat there on our first night in Quinault. We had all the appetizers except the scallops- mushrooms (must order!!), salmon/crackers (delicious), the cheese bread (whoa!), and the wings. All were tasty! For dinner, there were four of us and we ordered the pepper jelly salmon (cooked to perfection), the steak (a lot of food and so flavorful!), and the tempura shrimp (a hit!). We also got two desserts- the forest pie (or something with all fruit) and the butter cake- both a la mode; can't tell you how much we raved about the meal. Prices were fair- the meal with tip came up to about $300 but it was well worth the splurge for our last night. You'll pay this at the Lodge and won't get half of what I mentioned. If ever we visit Lake Quinault again, I can assure you we will choose to dine here. Thanks for a wonderful meal, great service, and good times read more

Lovely restaurant on the lake. Friendly staff & very knowledgeable server. Our group ordered the salmon prepared three different ways and each person loved their Salmon. I ordered it baked with creamy dill sauce and it was so moist and delicious! Thank you Salmon House cooks & servers for a wonderful dinner! read more

Everything was delectable! Homemade smoked salmon appetizer is excellent. Tempura mushrooms were yummy. Salmon entree was perfectly cooked. The Bundt cake dessert was incredible, Service was excellent as well. read more

When we ordered our salmon meal, the server said he didn't know what species of salmon they were serving. Only that it came from British Columbia I am a professional fish biologist. During my meal, I closely examined the flesh and skin. 100% sure this was farmed Atlantic salmon. BC produces lots of alantic salmon in pens - outlawed in Washington State. The fish was very well cooked and tasty. Disappointed they choose to hide the true origion of the fish read more

Atmosphere: Cute little lodge by the lake, great view. Seats were not super comfy. Food: They're called Salmon House so I had to get their Salmon. Got the Blackened one and it was really delicious. I got it with Rice and veggies. Everything was really on point. Partner got the Steak and that was surprisingly delicious as well. I would definitely come back here for the Salmon. Service: this is why I had to take down a star. Service was sooooooooooo slow. I think they forgot we sat down because it took them 15 mins. to come check in with us and take our order. Then after that, I could never find anyone to ask for something. Finally found someone to ask for the check and just gave them my credit card right away because I didn't know when they'd come back again. So, to combat this, I would recommend knowing what you want to order when you come in, order right away when you sit down, and then pay when you're halfway through eating. Way more efficient. read more

Thank goodness we finally found a good restaurant in the Lake Quinault area! We got the salmon, of course. I tried the blackened salmon. It was perfectly cooked. The skin was crispy and delicious, and the meat was very moist. The spices were delicious without being overpowering. We got the Fruit of the Forest pie for dessert. A mixture of berries and nice crust, I would order this again. read more

My wife and I ate dinner here twice while staying down the road at the Lake Quinault Lodge. Our meals were delicious (and less costly than the lodge) and service was great. They have a full bar, but limited wine list. You can also bring your own wine for a $15 corkage fee. They serve salmon seven different ways; we tried three: broiled, blackened, and with a dill cream sauce. The salmon was moist and perfectly cooked. With it comes your choice of potatoes (baked or French fried) or rice pilaf and a veggie (broccoli the days we were there). All the salmon meals were in the $28 range. They also have steaks and burgers etc. The restaurant is situated right on the banks of Lake Quinault, so it's a great place to relax and enjoy a sunset and/or natural beauty. Service was friendly and attentive. Recommended highly. read more

Seriously good food here. The dill salmon was some of the best salmon we've ever had. We also got an Alfredo pasta, but in the end we regretted not simply getting two salmon dishes, because that was clearly the strong point here. The drinks were also great. It's definitely pricey, but I think that comes with the territory here. Would definitely recommend! read more

I enjoyed the dining experience. Our server Annie recommeded a local beer which I liked. The salmon with Pepper Jelly etc was really delish. Chef does a great job on the salmon. read more

Salmon House Restauraunt - Jelly salmon and baked salmon - Seafood Near Me - Quinault, Washington

Attached to a resort, it operates as a separate restaurant, and the parking lot is designated restaurant only. Top-level lakeside location but not fancy decor. The menu concentrates on about six types of baked or broiled salmon with and without toppings. There's also other basic dishes for people who don't want salmon, but this is a place for people who want salmon. I got the baked salmon with dill. The salmon was very well cooked, tender and fully-cooked all the way through, a big slab and not the tiny slice one often gets. But by the same token it wasn't the most exquisite fish; what was exquisite was how they cooked it. But then they dumped a huge layer of dill sauce over it, after it was cooked. I had to scrape most of it off, and would have been better off with plain. Clam chowder really good. Views over the lake excellent. Service a little balky - it's not a problem if it takes 5 minutes to bring the soup, but it is a bit odd if they'd promised it right away. read more

Food: 4 Ambiance/view: 5 Service: 2 We were staying at the property next door earlier this month and this place was recommended. Several varieties of salmon and I chose the dill salmon and the 2 guys in my party got the pepper jelly salmon. Everyone was very happy with their choices. Cooked perfectly and great temp. View of the lake was nice and if we are ever back in the area will definitely utilize the deck to sit outside and enjoy it. Server was friendly and had a positive attitude. Service was super slow. I saw her running all over into the other areas so I'm assuming short staffed. We were seated near the bar and a mention upon being seated would've been nice. I typically see a decline in service when a table doesn't order alcohol but all tables seemed to be waiting for service. There was maybe a bar back or server in training that tried to help but she didn't seem to know anything and alerted our server we needed assistance. read more
