    Great new spot in the Skagit Valley. My burger was delicious and the perfect size - The Bitty Burger. Good, cold drinks and wonderful service. Newly opened in March 2026. Hand cut fries!! So good. Worth the stop!! Fun bar, big tv for sports and such. Will have live, outdoor music starting April 3.

    On our day trip to LaConnor, we stopped in at The Rex to see what they're offering. We learned that the new owners, Karl & Jane, just opened a few days ago. This place is being revamped into a dessert bar. They are currently offering cold beverages, gelato and Lopez Island ice cream, along with sandwiches, fresh pies and other baked goods. We got some ice cream and of course, had to try the homemade chocolate chip cookie. It was a nice treat! I'm liking what we're seeing so far and will check them out again in a few months to see how they are progressing. It's a cute place with friendly owners! There is ample patio seating.

    Huge double scoop!

    Such an adorable ice cream dessert shop, love the. We ordered ice cream and . As you can see from the picture, the ice cream scoops are huge! I think they are revamping the storefront next-door into a restaurant possible bar. I would definitely come back when visiting family again.

    We stopped in for dinner after a day of riding and checking out the daffodil fields in La Conner, the food was excellent and the staff were wonderful A+ service, the charcuterie board was awesome as was the roast beef dip and the smashed burger, chatted with the owner for a bit very nice guy makes you feel very welcome, we highly recommend this place to everyone.

    We decided to come here as a quick lunch stop. The owner and the young woman running the place are both very nice and the food/dessert portions are well worth the price. ~$45 for two large sandwiches, chips, and drinks (included 20% tip). They also had beautiful home-made desserts. The outdoor seating was absolutely beautiful as well! Well worth the drive and price!

    What a gem! The space is beautiful & cozy and everyone is so friendly! We had lattes, key lime pie, blueberry crumble cheesecake & sandwiches - everything was absolutely delicious! Only here for the weekend and can't wait to come back!

    Appetizer Burger!!!
    Kelley G.

    by @iwanttobewhatieat Obviously I must have a thing for biker friendly bars because I'm obsessed with @the_rex_bar_and_grill The food was AWESOME and the service was outstanding. Went with the appetizer burger and look, Monzarella sticks and onion rings are meant to be on cheeseburgers. I didnt know this my entire life. Now I know and it will never be the same. Ruined for all other burgers. The hubs went with the Kevin Funk Burger, and again so so goooood!! Eggs make burgers epic. This is such a cool spot with fantastic service, home made baked goods and relaxing outdoor space that is dog friendly. Now you know, off you go. #skagiteats #pnweats #foodblog #foodie #foodiesofinstagram #eathere #bestfood #bestfoodfeed #foodblogger #eatingfortheinsta #foodstagram #foodlover #foodgram #foodinsta #foodaddict #washingtonrestaurants #washingtoneats #pnwfood #skagitvalley #skagitfood #skagitfoodies #foodporn #borntoeat #yummy #nomnom #deliciousfood #deliciousness

    Beef Taco from the Taco Tuesday menu
    Louie F.

    I have driven by the Rex and Taco Tuesday sign lured my famished soul in on a Tuesday! It appears, it is a specialty/convenient store, a bar, and a cafe. Interesting mix and layout. They have local microbrews on tap so I ordered a beer and a beef taco, which for 7 dollars, seemed expensive. Until it came out! It was a soft taco that requires two hands and a few napkins, or a fork to eat. I almost ordered two but I am glad I only ordered one because it was filling. The taco sauce included is what I'd call an old school taco sauce to go with an old school American taco. I would not say it was the best old school soft taco I've had, but it was good. Overall, the feel of the place was great and friendly and someplace I plan to stop at again!

There…read moreare patio seats looking over the water and we heard there are frequent otter sightings here (though we didn't see one). They have a great, inexpensive and unpretentious wine list with plenty by the glass. We split a glass of rose and it was lovely! The food was just okay. They bragged about having large portions but our $18 cheese plate was a small snack for sure. It also said it came with fruit and chocolate and they only brought out the cheese, crackers, and nuts. Not sure if they were out, we didn't have enough time to talk to our server to figure this out. The servers were all in a huge hurry and missed a lot. I know they were busy and don't completely blame them, but it was definitely amiss. They asked if we wanted more wine and we said no, so they cleared our food quickly even though we were still eating. They also put a reserved sign on our table while we were still there (we only stayed maybe 25-30 min) and told us that someone else wanted our table. It was kind of rude and we felt super rushed by the servers. We really felt like we were being hurried out and didn't get the full experience. They also took our water glasses and dumped them on the ground next to us while we were still sitting and before we were done. They could not have been more blatant about wanting us to go even though we weren't there long. I would probably revisit on a slower day to see if things improved, but the service wasn't great.

    Finding a table for three on Valentine's Day without a reservation usually ends in heartbreak, but…read morewe lucked out here! Despite it being a busy holiday evening, we were seated immediately. The vibe was lively but comfortable, with most tables and the bar filled. Since we visited in February, we leaned heavily into their specials menu. We skipped the small plates and went straight for the mains: the Greek Salad with Steak, the Steak and Gorgonzola Flatbread, and the Vine Burger. Every dish was a hit, though my wife found the red wine vinaigrette on the salad to be just "okay" rather than great. For drinks, we stuck to the mocktails. We tried all three on the menu, and the Blueberry Mule (ginger beer based) was the undisputed winner. We'll have to come back for the cocktails another time since they looked promising! We capped the night with the Apple Blossom pastry with vanilla ice cream--it is a total "must-try." Overall, the service was courteous, the ambiance was spot-on, and parking was a breeze. We'll definitely be back!

    Such potential! Went for lunch. Didn't have a cocktail but saw several made. They looked good…read more Service wasn't very good. Not sure why, it wasn't busy. I had soup and salad. The soup of the day was fantastic. A sausage, potato and kale soup. Warm, comforting and delicious! The salad was somewhat disappointing. I ordered the quinoa kale salad, with a citrus vinaigrette. There was a little quinoa and kale on top of a large amount of romaine. Not what I expected. It was also served stuffed into a small, tall sided bowl with the dressing on the side. How exactly are you supposed to dress it and eat it? My friend had the burger and fries. The burger was half the size of the bun. She literally removed 50% of the bun. It was also extremely well done. The fries were cold. They don't have decaf coffee, but I was able to order mint tea. It was brought in a cup that smelled like old coffee. The table had been cleared and I had no napkin and he didn't bring one with the tea. There was a slice of lemon I didn't want and I had no place to put it. There is potential here, I hope they pay more attention to providing a quality experience and food.
