    I would give this place zero stars if I could. Overpriced Sysco packaged food. Not a good way to end a great trip to Orcas. Stay Away!

Orders are taken at the counter, and an employee brings food and beverages to the table. Service was timely and super friendly. My boyfriend found that he had a lot in common with our server, who shared the same birthday and who has also traveled a great deal. My boyfriend ordered and enjoyed the pulled pork migas. The chipotle flavor was a bit too strong for me. I ordered the H-scramble. The feta that was on it was superb; it resembled goat cheese. The country potatoes that accompanied both of our meals were good. My toast was on the cold side, as was my boyfriend's coffee. I chose raspberry jam with my toast, which was a great choice. In terms of ambiance, the brick walls were lovely, the place runs cool in a chilly morning, there was plenty of seating and tables weren't jammed together, and the restrooms were clean. The men's restroom had dine issues with their toilets.

We're happy we dined here while we staying on Orcas Island! This is truly a watering hole. The restaurant gets busy with hungry visiting and local diners. They're family friendly and dog friendly! There's a couple spots on their property--one being their fish market and deli the other being the place to order food! Seating is first come first serve at their communal tables and all outdoors. The workers work hard and do their best juggling lots of hungry customers. Everyone who helped us was kind and sweet! They have a variety of foods to please all tastebuds. Along with seafood they have BBQ, kid friendly options, and specials. For dinner I had the Spicy Halibut Sandwich but grilled instead of fried. The fish was delicious and everything was fresh and filling. My family enjoyed their chowder and oysters. We also shared a Strawberry Rhubarb Pie which was a slice of heaven--sweet, tangy, and divine! I can see why this is a popular place! If you find yourself on Orcas Island, Buck Bay Shellfish Farm is a must visit! Great seafood and a great ambiance. They have their own gravel lot you can park at and it's easy to find off EJ Young Road since it's a popular spot!

We literally saw it on the road, found a parking place, and stopped. I'm so glad we did. The smoked Halibut chowder was on the top 5 soup/chowder experiences I've had anywhere. The Sablefish with fingerling potatoes was excellent and the oysters were fresh and delicious. The service was attentive and professional, and the views of the bay were amazing. (We were fortunate to have had a bright sunny May day) Don't hesitate to give it a go if you love scrumptious, fresh seafood with beautiful coastal views.

The oysters were absolutely delicious, and easily some of the best we've had. We also tried dessert, and it tasted homemade, so yummy and the perfect way to finish the meal. The service was just as great as the food. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming, and they helped us decide what to order, which made the experience even better. It never felt rushed, and the staff really made us feel taken care of. The views here are outstanding. We were lucky enough to sit by the window, which made the whole meal feel extra special. The inside of the restaurant is very cozy, with a fireplace that gives it such a warm and relaxing atmosphere. They also have limited outdoor seating during the warmer months, which I can imagine would be amazing with the view. Great food, beautiful scenery, and such a comfortable vibe. We will definitely be coming back again.

    Being treated to Chuckanut Manor is starting to be a tradition for me. This is my second time to…read morethis wonderful place. The first was my birthday last year, chosen by a friend (I'd never heard of it). This year I was asked where I wanted to go. I did not hesitate to say here! I couldn't be anything other than delighted in my decision--from the pleasantness inside, the wonderful view from our window, the delightful staff and the incredible food and drinks, this place is wonderful. Lucky me that my birthday was on a Wednesday so I could be totally influenced to have oysters-on-the-half shell due to a generous Wednesday night special. I do love raw oysters--and these were so tiny and briny and so incredibly good, I could have eaten five dozen! (I am kicking myself for not finding out what kind they were, but no matter. I would be happy with any they are serving here, I am sure.) I had already planned on having the Oysters Rockefeller (known here as Manor Rockefeller), and so, despite having just downed some oysters, I went ahead anyway and am glad I did! They were wonderful. And there was no real reason for me to pause for a moment in my decision, having already had oysters, because these were soooooo different. It was almost like eating a delicious oyster casserole in a shell. The Mediterranean Mussels were wonderful! (Notice, I was having a dinner of appetizers...) The broth they came in was beautiful (and drinkable, if one were so inclined). I loved the surprising tastiness of the Mama Lil's Peppers swimming around in it. At first I wondered if they would be too hot and compete with the flavor--overwhelming it--but no! Not at all. They were a perfect and flavorful touch. Absolutely wonderful. (And having said that, I know that "pepper heat" is an individual thing--I can tolerate a goodly amount, fyi--I just didn't taste these as hot at all.) Our server, Drew, was immensely helpful (and always charming!) He paired our food with a delicious wine. I guess we would assign my bowl of clam chowder to the dessert category--very thick and creamy--along with a lovely after-dinner cocktail, made by the wonderful and delightful bartender, Sherry. She made me a lovely mocktail to start--I asked Drew to have the bartender just make something up on a whim. It was pretty, colorful and delish with what in it, I have no idea. But, not only was it delectable, it was a vision! All festive and fuchsia, with a "bartender's cherry," and a hot pink umbrella. When I learned Sherry made it, I was so happy because I remembered her from last year--very skilled and very fun to chat with. A wonderful birthday--I highly recommend the Manor.

    The food we tried today tasted good and hit the spot!…read more I ordered the Alaskan Halibut Fish & Chips that came with a side of toasted cumin coleslaw. It was delicious, but for the smaller portions of fish, I felt it was a bit overpriced compared to other fish and chips I've had for cheaper and with larger portions of fish. My friend ordered the Ground Chuck Cheeseburger with Bacon and Fries. It was juicy and a filling choice. The main draw of this restaurant is definitely the amazing views that almost everyone reviewing this restaurant mentions. Plus, the fact that there really aren't a lot of restaurants to choose from in this area. I think the next time I dine here I would try to time it during their Happy Hour or Brunch, which they claim is "the best".

Unfortunately, our experience ended before we ever made it to a table. When we arrived, the hostess was on the phone. We waited patiently, but there was no acknowledgment of our presence--not even a simple "I'll be right with you." Once she finished her call, we asked for a table for four. Rather than greeting us or explaining the wait in a courteous manner, she simply shook her head and informed us there would be a 40-45 minute wait. The issue was not the wait time; it was the complete lack of hospitality. Had we been greeted warmly and treated like valued guests, we likely would have waited. Instead, we were left with the clear impression that our business was neither wanted nor appreciated. We chose to leave immediately and spent $200+ at another restaurant where we felt welcomed. While I understand that busy restaurants often have long waits, there is no excuse for poor customer service and basic discourtesy. Based on this experience, I will not return, nor would I recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting the area.
