Kinda off the trail. Seriously old school place. Shuffleboards and such. Seriously game. The food... I was definitely having the Capt platter. The clams were just small nuggets of frozen. The shrimps were a bit better, the cod and pan fried oysters stole the show. read more

The Old Edison - Capt platter! The pan friend oysters elevated the plate. - American Near Me - Edison, Washington

shuffleboard, cold beer, amazing chowder and oysters, with a small town old bar that time forgot vibe, what's not to love?!

I went for lunch on a Sunday in March at 12:30pm and I was the only one in the restaurant. Ambiance was casual with sports playing on multiple T.V's. Service was fast and friendly. I ordered a Bow Burger with a Clam Chowder for the side The price was $25.99 The burger was slightly undercooked to my liking since I ordered it well done but it came out with pink in the center. The bun was sourced from the BreadFarm down the street. The bun was very tough to chew though, which most likely means it was a day old or maybe longer. The soup was made in house and tasted good. Overall the meal was okay for a small town. read more

The Old Edison is probably one of the most iconic bars in Northwest Washington, if not the entire state. It's not quite a dive bar, but not the fanciest place ever. Their food isn't high end, but it's still delish. And if you're looking for a place to catch some live music on the weekends, but still get home by sunset, well this is the spot for you. My favorite time to come here is on a Sunday evening with my dude. We like to get there early, play a game or two of shuffleboard, enjoy one of their delish burgers and iconic onion rings, some beers, and then settle back to listen to what is almost always an amazing band. Bonus that the crowd usually gets up for some dancing, too! The service here is always amazingly friendly, and they have an impressive selection of local taps (as well as a full bar). Haven't been to the Old E? You should definitely add it to your bucket list! read more

Very cool atmosphere that fits this quaint town well. I really enjoyed sitting at the bar and being able to watch the chef work his magic. The bartender was very friendly and attentive and the prices for food and drinks were very reasonable. I didn't get a chance to eat the food here, but after watching the chef I'm definitely going to return so that I can enjoy the fruits of his labor! read more

We arrived in Edison after a ride down Chuckanut Rd. Edison is a tiny town founded in 1897 as a utopian socialist colony. The utopians are long gone, but today the area hosts a refreshing collection of artists, artisans, potters, bakers, and craftspeople. Honestly, the Old Edison wasn't our first pick-- everything else seemed to be closed. Then again, our server - Brittany - was top notch. read more

Dive Bar? Check. Locals? Check. Good food and drink? Check. I love this place - it's exactly what you want in a place like that. I will also die on this hill - they make THE BEST pickle fries of anywhere. Go ahead, try them. We got the Bow burger and the Captain's plate. While it seems a little spendy (doesn't everything these days?), I think you get what you pay for. The burger is stellar and local, and you can't go wrong with fried seafood. When I go back I probably won't double up on the fried (app + entree) again, but I'm glad I did. I'm definitely getting pickle fries though. read more

OK, the old Edison is a fantastic place. The food is fantastic, the service is top-notch, and the ambience is wonderful. Who wouldn't want to be in this area. The area is very much a local community; however, there is always something to do and it's a beautiful area. The prices are reasonable. Give it a try. read more

Love the food. Love the fact that they have music. Sadly the volume is so loud that it's deafening and unbearable. My ear hurt for two days after the first blast of loud music hurt it. Bummer. Bring earplugs or you risk some damage. Outstanding food! read more

We ordered 4 oyster shooters, a cup of clam chowder, and 1 Big E Cheeseburger with an extra patty cut in half for two. The burger came with fries. However, we were never brought the clam chowder and thus didn't pay for it. Therefore, our total was $27. The oysters were not as good or as big as the ones we got at Gentlemen Gene's Pub but we're still pretty good. The burger was very juicy and flavorful. The beef and cheese were local. Edison is a farming community with plenty of cows and a butcher shop is near the restaurant. So, this is probably some of the freshest meat you can get. The ambience was great and they even had 2 shuffleboards to play! This place would have been 5 stars but how can you give a perfect review when the host didn't bring all of the things that were ordered yet brought the bill for the missing item at the end of the meal. And, they weren't even busy as we were the last people in the restaurant when we left. We would have loved to have tried the chowder. But, we left it up to fate as to whether we would get to try it or not. As fate would have it our hostess didn't remember. Maybe your experience will be better. read more

Great service and wonderful food. The oyster dinner is the best I've had anywhere with an unbeatable price.

Coming back from oyster dome hike - we were ravished and searching for a Dinner place with reasonable price! This is a gem of a pub, plus on top of that food is amazing. We ordered oyster shooters which we will skip next time. The Captain's plate was amazing, it has everything and perfect for 2 sharing folks. Service is very good. The Pub has a small town dive bar charm, perfect ambience for groups and couples. read more

Food is amazing! My second time visiting and it is absolutely the best food around. I wish I would have ran across this hidden gem years ago. I'm getting ready to relocate from WA State however, when I'm in the area again, The Old Edison will definitely be included on the itinerary! The atmosphere is older and it seems as though only locals attend. I'm never intimidated by the atmosphere of a place so I was unbothered (no one gave me a reason to be bothered either) The staff was friendly and welcoming and service was fast. The food is undoubtedly fresh! Best sweet potato fries I've ever eaten...I'm from the south and I'm a food junkie, so that statement is huge coming from me! I encourage you to go visit! You will not be disappointed...! Oh, the prices are great too!!! Bonus...amongst all the locals (assuming) a gentleman had on a Black Lives Matter Shirt! read more

Rude waitress and cook. Order sst in window till I got up and took our food. Both copped an attitude. No tip no stars!!! Burger still raw

Take out here. I had the fried oyster dinner with onion rings. It was barely edible - the oil needs to be changed. I threw more than half the meal away. read more

We have previously been to family gatherings and events here with our daughter who is under 3. Tonight we went to the Edison to have dinner as a family (considering we have previously) and a girl who worked there yelled at us in front of everyone that we needed to leave because of our daughter and handled the situation extremely rudely and unprofessionally. read more

This is my first dining review ever, but it had to be done. We stopped into this little place on a whim and were delighted with the service and food! The server was helpful and friendly, and the food was fabulous! One of us had the oyster burger and loved every bite. I had the French Dip with onion rings and couldn't finish! Also, we've been to the place where Irish Coffee was invented, and the Irish Coffee at the Old Edison was better. Will defiantly make this a place to go to whenever we are up in the area. read more

Very pleased today with my hot cocktail. Husband had a beer. Amber and Liam are keepers. Made us feel welcomed and both were working so hard! Noticed how attentive they were to all customers. It was our first time at this bar, too. The food is delicious. We had ribs and clam strips. See you soon! read more

They work non-stop and out our amazing food. Love coming here and highly recommend. They also have an outdoor patio but haven't been out there. read more

A fun bar with good bar food and live music. Beer, mixed drinks, dancing shuffleboard and more.

Excellent dive bar. Clientele ranges from bikers to senior citizens and all between. Edison is a very small town. Very small. With that in mind, free parking can be found in the limited parking lot or on the sides of the narrow streets. Discover is an accepted form of payment. Indoors, one will find a full bar, mismatched tables and chairs, unique wall-hangings, a stage area for live music, a well-maintained shuffleboard and mounted TV's. Free Wi-Wi is available. A large outdoor seating area is located in the back. Edison offers a nice selection of local craft beer as well as the standard domestic beer. If you like spirits, Edison has a nice variety of infused vodka and tequilas. Food items are a more upscale than the standard dive bar offerings. My wife and I each slurped on a Manny's for $4.75 each. We shared a cup of Clam Chowder (Friday's only) for $4.50. I enjoyed the chowder, my wife didn't care for it. We also shared the Big E Cheeseburger for $11:50: cheese, tomato, lettuce, tomato, onion and pickles. We chose the wedge cut fries (Jo Jo's) for $1 up-charge. We both devoured this tasty burger and every last fry. Delicious. Our server was friendly, welcoming and efficient. My wife and I enjoyed playing on the shuffleboard on our way out. Overall, Edison in laid-back, unpretentious and down right chill. read more

Was in Edison and decided to go to the Mariposa for lunch. Closed. By accident we fell into the "Old Edison" bar. A real CLASSIC old bar in downtown Edison. We were in there early but felt more than welcome to find a place to sit. Our server was friendly and very attentive. Brought us water without asking. We sat outside in their "courtyard". We both love oysters and went with the Oyster Burger. OMG. Perfectly cooked. Stout and juicy oysters. Lightly breaded. Served ala' plenty on a freshly warmed bun. Accompanied by homemade tartar sauce, fresh lettuce, a tomato and a slice of lemon. More oysters than you could shake a stick at. Pure heaven. Plenty of local beers on tap to choose from as well. I imagine this place gets quite "rollicking" on a Friday and Saturday night. Cheers! read more

Second time getting food poisoning from here, great place, good food, they need to check on their refrigeration

I was just there with my bro and had a dynamite meal. My burger was perfectly cooked, toasted bun, and fresh veggies in top. The O rings were perfect, and his clam strips took me way back to memories of HoJos as a kid. Great atmosphere. Not a lot of Seattle-ites. Just wonderful. read more

Disclaimer: I am not being paid or compensated to write or share this review by anyone in any way shape or form Summary: Good People and Good Food Review: It was almost closing time with 10 minutes left and we called them and they ready accommodated us. We ordered Fish and Chips along with Garlic Bread, Sweet Potato Fries, Drinks and more. The Service was VERY warm and the food was piping hot as it should be. Despite the fact that they were 5 minutes away from closing, they STILL sat us down (we were VERY hungry) and fed us with love and care and for that we are SO GRATEFUL !! read more

Excellent food! We got ours to go because we're not comfortable eating inside much yet. One Big E burger cooked perfectly, and one delicious pulled pork sandwich. If I lived around here I would eat here often. read more

Dive bar with delicious foods. The lamb served here is reputed to be wonderful but my friend and I chose the pulled pork. This sandwich did not disappoint. This local meat is slow roasted with a smoke flavor aimed to please. The homemade coleslaw is tasty and fresh. We each paid extra to have our pulled pork served on a BreadFarm roll ($2.00). I ordered a fresh homemade creamy artichoke soup. It was incredible. I am dreaming of it and may make the trek back Thursday to get more! My friend got a side of slaw (slaw comes on the sandwich too. She received over 2 cups worth of creamy, flavorful slaw. We went up on a Tuesday. The restaurant was packed! This place is located in the cute little sleeper town of Bow. Make sure you walk down the street to the BreadFarm and ask for a punch card. Beers and alcohol served at this tavern! After lunch head over to the Padilla Bay estuary! read more

It has been a long time since I've been here, but memory served me right and this was a nice place for dinner. Our waitress was super energetic and friendly. We had drinks to start with an app of onion rings- the portion was huge and they were really tasty!! I was also appreciative of how quickly the order came out. They have quite a list of local beers and cider on tap. I had the passion fruit cider- balanced, fruity, tart and a hint of sweetness. For me, dinner was the "Big E" salad with chicken and house balsamic dressing. It came with Breadfarm garlic bread. It is always a bonus when a local business supports another local business! My family all had seafood dishes and loved them. I did sample a fry and wished I had some, too... I'll have to get something with their French fries next time! read more

Wow! I love this little old saloon in "downtown" Edison. I went with four people and we each had something different. I had the beef stew and a cheeseburger. The stew was completely out-of-this-world-delicious and the cheeseburger was great, too. The Old Edison has a large selection of beers - any local, and fresh home-made food. If you're in the area, definitely stop in for a drink and some grub. Large outdoor patio, live music, large bar, large dining room, shuffle board tables, great decor. read more

We have been to the Edison many times and usually have had the bow burger. The food and beer selection have always been outstanding. Last visit we had the lamb wrap and it was exceptional. Today the bow burger was definitely not the same. The beef was of poor quality and not cooked well at all. I'm disappointed. Not sure I'll order the bow burger again, which is supposed to be their premier burger. read more

I had been meaning to try this place for a while and I am so glad I finally did. Started off with a cup of Clam Chowder...Good Chowder, not the best I have ever had but a solid cup of Chowder nonetheless...Then I had the Oyster Dinner...sadly they don't do Fresh Cut Fries and I almost took a star away because of this but I subbed a Salad and not only were the Greens super fresh but the Ranch Dressing was Home-made and fantastic...The Cole Slaw was also Home-made super fresh and like seriously delicious...The Oysters were fried to absolute perfection...superb...sublime...on the side was an excellent Home-made Cocktail Sauce...I'm not a Tartar Sauce fan but judging from everything else I'd wager it was great! Had a Pint of Guinness with the meal which I feel for some reason pairs wonderfully with Oysters...It was a professionally poured Pint with just a fingers thickness of foam on top... In this life it is rare to be served a Perfect Meal...but this in all honesty was a 100% Perfect Meal...Hats off to them... Highly, highly, highly Recommended read more

Great old hole in the wall with good food. I had oysters and they were terrific : well seasoned and pan fried perfectly. My friend had a great sandwich and the onion rings were a solid option. Shuffleboard and a full bar. Stop there on your way through! read more

Love the drinks food & live music every Sunday 5:30/to 9:30! Sometimes they have bands on Saturday nights in Bow/Edison

I went in on the Sunday before Memorial Day after spending time walking the beach at Bay View State Park. The town of Edison was fairly busy but I easily found parking directly in front of The Old Edison. They were busy, but still friendly staff that stay on top of serving customers. Wonderful selection of infused vodka, tequila and rum. I chose a orange infused vodka for my Lemon Drop. So good, so very good. For my meal the oyster dinner. OMG, the oysters are to die for. So very fresh, so well prepared, so damn good. Quite possibly my favorite restaurant in Skagit county. The offer an extensive menu so if oysters aren't your thing, there are plenty of other options. Staff cleaned every table after customer left. Bathroom was clean, albeit small. There's a large area outside at the back of The Old Edison if you want to eat outside. read more

We were greeted. Saw the chef eating so we knew the food is going to be good! Day two correction: I apologize in advance this is a before and after review, so read to the end. Captains plate: Server Liz: ***** Adorable, knowledgeable, funny! Captains plate*** Captains Plate**** Big E Cheeseburger***** Pepper x 2 Soup **** Hot Chips: ***** The main issue with one of the captains plate was the oyster cakes were "weird" and fries came out on the cold side. So 1/2 the blame goes to the receiver for not speaking up and getting them redone. Cod was spot on delicious. Hot chips are beyond delicious! I had messed up the roof of my mouth earlier this week and a raw roof did not stop me! It was goood! Soup was good. Too full to finish it! Burger was cooked right-Yay! Bun lasted to the last bite then the leftover fell apart! Good job! Yes we would come back-but we live too far away! Day 2 correction: Nope not after diarrhea x 2. The day after: Sorry to have to add this but my Mom and husband both ate the Captain's plate last night and have had diarrhea all night. It hasn't stopped yet. Had to change the rating from 4 stars to 2: One star for Liz who should still get 5 stars. And 1 star for my 4 star burger. I am not sick. I ate the burger, soup and hot chips with ketchup. They ate the Captains plate, soup, and ranch dressing with their share of the hot chips. Good luck! On my way to get some pepto! read more

The food was good, I had chicken Swiss burger with a side salad. The service was verrrry slow and poor. We waited approximately 10 minutes for the waitress to take our drink orders. We had to get up and get our own menu. The waitress was friendly, but took forever to wait on us, didn't check on us after bringing our food, didn't offer to get us another beverage, and forgot to split our bill as she offered. So if you come be prepared to wait and get your own menu, and to assert yourself for service! If the place were busy, I'd feel differently. There was ONE other table sitting inside when we arrived, two people at the bar, and one group outside. So not super busy. read more

Great atmosphere and friendly service but the food could be better. I had the oyster dinner and husband had the steak salad. Oyster dinner included 7 pan fried oysters (fresh from Blau Oyster down the road), fries and a side salad for $~15. Oysters are extra small, a little bigger than a quarter and wasn't all that impressive. However, their house-infused spirits are pretty darn tasty!! Next time, I would definitely stop by for a drink again but I'll definitely walk on over to Longhorn and grab some food there instead. read more
