We had lunch here while waiting for the ferry and really enjoyed the nice little patio and good food. Service was prompt and friendly and they had gf designations on their menu which made my life easy. I had the house salad and the apricots on top were delish. The husband of mine had a pizza which he said was the indulgence he was craving. Our friend had the curry soup of the day, fried cheese curds and a cider tasting. Everything was good. They had some cute stuff in their shop inside and I secured myself a perfect fox hat. Next time we come back to San Juan we'll definitely stop in again. read more

Solid experience. The most happening place in town! Busy on a Tuesday evening. Plenty of seating inside and out. Garage doors open so a very open air feel to it. No reservations necessary. Well staffed. Soup of the day was potato, bacon and jalapeño and wow! It' was amazing! Pizza with prosciutto and arugula was good. Crust is super, super thin. The prosciutto was in really large pieces and the arugula was light but overall good. read more

Such a great brewery! They have tons of seating by and an inviting ambience. We got the cheese curds with marinara sauce and the chicken banh mi pizza. For our beer, we got the San Juan pilsner and the black boar porter. The beer was great and they have a ton of options here. I especially loved the chicken banh mi pizza. I had never seen such a combo as toppings on a pizza, but it strangely worked. One of the most innovative pizzas I have ever had for sure! Overall, a fun brewery to visit during your trip to Friday harbor. read more

It was ok. It wasn't particularly busy but the service was really lacking. Our server was not real friendly and took a lot of time in between offering drink refills. The real disappointment was the clam choweder. It was pretty gross. It was thin and had an odd taste to it. There were hardly any clams. Their prices are pretty high for their portion sizes as well. The place has a cool open concept and has a good vibe but they need some work. I think I would pass next time. read more

Great brewery experience with nice bartenders. Crowded so we sat at the bar. The beer was excellent. The NA beer was not as is often the case but Ive had many very worthy NA beers lately. Hopefully they step it up there. Shared the pub pretzels which were great. Shared a larger fish and chips meal which was also quite good. Love the location and vibe. read more

My fiancé and I visited San Juan Island Brewing for dinner on our nights in Friday Harbor. Service was friendly and our food came pretty quickly. We did go to dinner before the rush though. We shared the Pig War Pizza and the Fish and Chips. The pizza was good but a little too salty for me. I wasn't a huge fan of the crust but others would be since it is a sourdough crust. The breading on the fish and chips was kind of bland. The fries were standard. I did not eat the coleslaw. Overall, it was a good spot for dinner. read more

San Juan Island Brewing was quite solid given the lack of food options open past 7 on the island. After waiting about 20 minutes to get seated, we ordered pizza and a couple of dishes to share. Pig war pizza: I thought this was good but my friends said it was too salty. Maybe it was a tad salty but I think that's how all pork pizza is going to taste normally. 4.5/5 Fried chicken sandwich: I didn't really like this as much, I liked the sauce and it had a nice kick to it but the chicken was a tad dry and flavorless. 3.5/5 Philly cheesesteak: I enjoyed this, the steak and the melted cheese mixed together nicely with the bread to create a delicious experience. It is a bit expensive for a Philly cheesesteak though for its size and it's not anything super special. 4/5 Fries were also pretty good but they didn't come out hot. The food took a bit of time to come out but that is somewhat understandable since they were quite busy on a weekend night. I enjoyed the ambience, it definitely felt like a brewery and gave pub vibes but with solid food. 4.1/5 read more

Sunday evening, most places were closed. We were seated promptly. The space is very nice. High ceilings, barn/saloon ambiance is cool. We ordered pizzas and Philly cheese steak sandwich. Pizzas were really delicious but the dough is really thin and wouldn't hold up to eat by hand, any of the pizzas. So we used fork and knife. read more

Take into account that we went on the fourth of july... The place was packed inside and out as they hosted a beer garden and live music outside. It was a fun party vibe for all ages. We did wait a long time to get a table, but were finally seated and had fairly good service. Cider was good and food was good. We had the barn mi pizza and the farmer's market pizza along with mac and cheese bites and the poke read more

We stopped by San Juan Brewery while on the Friday Harbor Island. It was a Sunday, we were seated right away and were approached by a server promptly. We ordered our beers first then our food. Dogs were allowed outside on the patio, they even had a grass area right next to the tables for pet convenience. Children were present, so family friendly. Inside the noise level with typical brewery with tvs. They had beers fridges for to go beers. We enjoyed our beer, food, and our time. read more

This is a really cool, spacious brewery setup over on San Juan Island. It has a great local pub energy, making it an easy place to want to gather, grab a drink, and hang out with a group. The food was a bit of a mixed bag. The pizza was definitely not good, honestly, pretty much everything about it fell short. On the plus side, the beet salad was good, and the chicken wings were tasty as well. The overall ambiance here is super fun and lively. However... the service left a lot to be desired because the kitchen was incredibly SLOW. We were dining with kids, and it took a massive 50 minutes just to get our children their food off the kids' menu. Not even our main meals, just the kids' items! Needless to say, by the time the food finally arrived, our kids were completely starving. Management, please make it a point to ensure that when parents order off the kids' menu, those items are prioritized and brought out much earlier so the little ones can eat... While the space itself is great for a drink, the massive kitchen delays make it tough for a family dinner. I'd say it's fine to check out for a beer and some wings, but if you have young kids with you, be prepared for a long wait. read more

We had a lovely dinner here, our best meal on the island. I had the caprese sandwich with chicken. The sandwich was super yummy, the chicken well cooked. The fries were hot and crispy. The staff was all attentive and made sure we didn't need anything while we were there. They were quick with the bill and we were paid and out of there super fast. I highly recommend getting there for a meal. I can't recommend it enough. read more

My husband ordered a beer, I had a soft drink and we each ordered a pizza. Drinks and food were served in a reasonable time. We never saw our server again. No offer for 2nd round of drinks or dessert. We finally went to the host to get our check. The pizza was soggy. We needed a fork to eat the center of each slice. We had been there a few nights before for drinks and a pretzel and the service was great. read more

Our waitress was super great, very friendly and gave us good recommendations on beers based on our preferences. I got their Yachter's Daughter and it was light and fresh. For food, we got their Dinner Island Proscuitto and it was loaded with prosciutto. I would have liked more fresh basil (maybe even fresh ones) on top. Their Cesar salad was well dressed and had loads of cheese. It was kind of busy, but they had plenty of seats and service was quick. read more

First meal on San Juan Island! I didn't order an entree, just two appetizers for lunch. I loved my calamari and hummus plate. The cabbage salad under the calamari was so refreshing. The calamari was crunchy and savory, and it was good both with and without the dipping sauce. The hummus plate was very light yet flavorful and actually filled me up well. The garlic on top was the highlight of the dish. My partner said his black bean burger was just mid, but the fries were good. The only thing I need to complain about is that it took us about 30 minutes to get our food, and I was borderline starving. The staff were friendly too. read more

Service was unfortunately inattentive and not engaging surprisingly on an early monday evening, Cesar salad dressing was quite thin and flavorless.

A decent spot for a bite, lots of ciders and beer - learned the hard way this is NOT the same as San Juan Seltzers which was disappointing (not their fault, obvi). Chose this restaurant since it was one of few American fare still open later in the day and close to the ferry terminal. Service was friendly, we were at a high top table covered by the bartender who had a nearly full bar top. We were forgotten about for a bit but nothing walking up to the bar to order for our table of 6 didnt solve. Food was as to be expected, chicken tenders were on the smaller side and slightly lackluster in flavor. We left with full bellies and empty plates, so I would definitely give other dishes a try. MASSIVE kudos though for them whipping up a CBJ burger when I realized I missed ordering as our food came out. read more

First meal in the San Juan Islands and it was a great one! My family and I spent the afternoon exploring the island and were looking forward to kicking back, having a bite, and a drink. San Juan Island Brewing called to us as it's conveniently near town and dog-friendly. We arrived on a gorgeous Sunday evening. We sat outside due to having our pup and luckily there was no wait! There are several long communal tables, some with umbrellas and some not. We sat under an umbrella but it didn't cover all of the sun. Inside is very spacious with nice viewing areas and plenty of tables for all party sizes. The vibe all around was laid-back and pleasant. The service by our waitress was wonderful. She provided great recommendations and things came out swiftly. My family and I all ordered our dishes but we did share the Pub Pretzel. I had the Wild Salmon Sandwich as my main. The pretzel was phenomenal--so freaking soft, right salt ratio, and lovely mustard dip. My salmon sandwich was heavenly. I love salmon and in Washington, you just have to get it. The salmon was buttery and rich, the peppers provided a little kick, and the sandwich was very filling! My family enjoyed their meals and we all took our fair share to go. I highly recommend coming to San Juan Island Brewing for good food and a drink if you're visiting Friday Harbor. I wouldn't mind coming back! The restaurant is off A Street and easy to find as it's a big building, there's also a giant parking lot out front. read more

Friendly staff, quick service, and delicious food summed up our memorable experience. This was the first restaurant we tried when we arrived on the island and ended up being one of our favorites. The menu's drink to food pairing recommendations helped us save time on deciding what to order. I opted for the burger was well-balanced between the juicy patty, savory bacon jam, mild cheese, and fresh arugula. I highly recommend it! The interior has a relaxed atmosphere boasting plenty of TVs playing live sports. We dined on the outdoor patio which was a perfect way to enjoy our grub and brew. read more

Great place! For a bar, not too loud, good music and plenty of room. I'm sure Summers are much busier. They do have outdoor seating too. Service was fast and friendly. So many beers to choose from of course. I had the Lane 4 which was very nice, not heavy with great flavor. Brad had the Island Fir which is a double red IPA. He liked it, too bitter for me. We ordered the Pig War Pizza, it was amazing. I loved the chewy crust and the tangy tomato sauce. Plenty of sausage, pepperoni and prosciutto. It is a bit salty with all the pork, just drink more beer. We enjoyed the food and ambiance! read more

I was surprised that the prices here are actually fairly reasonable, since a lot of places on the islands end up with a pretty substantial "island surcharge". This is especially surprising given that it's within walking distance of the ferry terminal. The food and drinks are pretty normal brewery/pub fare. In addition to the main restaurant inside, they have a full service patio in front and then another outdoor seating area that seemed to serve a more limited selection of food. read more

First stop to refuel upon arrival in Friday Harbor. The restaurant was really busy but they were able to set up a table and get us seated quite quickly. The brewery is very rustic with open beams and high ceilings. Lots of tables with glass doors that open out onto a large front deck. The food was amazing and the blackberry cider was a great addition. Would definitely recommend! read more

Dropped in for lunch after a long morning driving around the island. Great location and beautiful facility. Hailey greeted, seated us and took care of us for the next hour. She was super pleasant and attentive. I ordered a flight of beers, all very good, and my wife ordered a glass of rose. We ordered the special potato leek soup, the special corned beef with beer braised cabbage on rye and the prosciutto and arugula pizza. All very good. Had to get a box for the pizza and sandwich because there was just too much. Glad we swung by this place. read more

Anna our server is charming and hard working. My family was so happy with her.

San Juan Island Brewing - Fried chicken sandwich - Breweries Near Me - Friday Harbor, Washington

Well - we tried to go to SJIB again. We come to San Juan Island every year and obviously have amnesia because it's never worked out. I will say this - we will never try again. Horrible service from the bartender. We sat down and asked about the beer. I wanted something light but he swayed me away from it towards their "award winning" Pilsner. I took 2 sips of it and didn't like it. He never asked me what I thought BTW ... so I had to sort of call him over. Anyway - I politely told him that I didn't like the draft beer and asked if I could switch it out for what I originally wanted. He said "ok but I'm not giving it to you for free. You will have to pay for both". I will say - I'm in my 50s and this has NEVER happened. I was stunned. I finally got my wits about me, canceled our food order and asked for the bill for the beer. $9 for a draft beer that I didn't like. Unbelievable. read more

We were really hoping to enjoy this brewery, but unfortunately, it just didn't deliver. The hummus platter came with doughy, undercooked bread that was covered in flour and made a mess more than anything. The chicken tender app wasn't any better--low-quality chicken and barely any sauce to go with it. Bar service was lackluster, and to top it off, we overheard staff openly talking trash about each other behind the bar--not exactly the vibe you want while trying to enjoy a drink. The space itself is fine and might work if you're desperate for food on a Sunday night and most places are closed, but overall, not very impressive. Probably wouldn't return. read more

Great atmosphere with friendly bartenders and a great beer selection. Beers are nice and smooth. I got the chicken blue burger and my chicken was pretty dry but it probably was a one off. I would go back for sure read more

Good food. The pilsner was geat and service was quick and friendly. Niceatmosphere and good patio space.

We enjoyed friendly and attentive service in a wonderful environment. The food was absolutely delicious, we absolutely adored the pizza. The fact that the gluten-free didn't taste like gluten-free is over the top. Our Italian sausage pizza was one of the best pizzas ever. read more
