    Slider sampler
    Christopher R.

    First time here. With " slider" in their name, of course I had sliders. SERVICE: Walked in and instantly notice the upbeat feel of the staff. They were what service should be everywhere FOOD: I had the slider sampler with mushroom& Swiss, cheesy and the honey mustard chicken. They were all good but the mushroom was best SHAKE: Simple choice of vanilla, chocolate and strawberry. Very good. Chunks of ice cream in the shake was fun.

    Chicken fried steak

    We came by here Saturday morning around 10:30 AM for brunch, and were seated right away. I love a good greasy spoon diner, and this place hit the spot! They have their own parking area along the building, or there is street parking. We ordered: - biscuits and gravy - egg benedict with loaded hashbrowns - chicken fried steak - coffee We had the nicest waitress as well as the food being delicious! The hashbrowns were crispy and so tasty with the "loaded option". I enjoyed my eggs benny too, with thick juicy bacon. I would definitely come back here, and wish I had a breakfast spot like this near my house!

    Feed the hangry!

    What can I say, but WE. LOVED. THIS. JOINT. On our way up for a hike on Mt. Baker, we were stahhhhhhhving, so we had to make a breakfast stop. Yelp came through for us (as she always does) and said The Slider Cafe was the best place around (can confirm!) We got seated right away (though the place was mostly full, even on a Monday morning) and shortly had piping hot (and STRONG) coffee in front of us. We got our orders in--Eggs La Conner (poached eggs on English muffins with mango salsa and avocado) for me and straight up Eggs Benedict AND biscuits and gravy (simply because it'd be wrong not to order it) for my Partner In Crime™... and we both got loaded hash browns. OH. MY. GOD. Let me say that I almost never finish a meal, even if I absolutely love what I'm eating. But lemme tell ya... I gobbled up every bit of this (I may have considered licking the plate) because it was so darn good. My other half loved his eggs, too, and I can confirm that the biscuits and gravy were down-and-dirty decadent. If you find yourself in or near La Conner, get there to The Slider Cafe. You will NOT be disappointed!

    This was the only slider breakfast in the menu. Still yummy!

    I really like the food here, updated menu was a little disappointing. Service here is always great and I love the self serve water at the table. Just wish there were more sliders on the menu. Service was fast and friendly. I'll still give you 5 stars but put some sliders back on the menu please!

    Every to go order includes a little handwritten message from the staff, and they even remembered both names!

    This place .... Breakfast doesn't get better than this. The food is consistently delicious, and it's plentiful. Our favorite is the Eggs Benedict. Only one time out of maybe 20 have the eggs not been perfectly done (which is SO common at diners!), and they were even more slammed than usual that time so who's complaining? Not me! The people who work here are a delight, whether they're in the kitchen or out front. They're kind, they're humorous, and they hustle HARD. Which makes the attached photo even more precious, because I happened to mention my husband's name when I calked in my to-go order this morning, and that was all it took for to get these adorable messages. Great food, great people. What more could a hungry person ask for?

    A quaint little place in downtown LaConner. We were camping in the area and saw it on Yelp. It was quite busy on a Sunday around 11:30am, but the staff were quick to seat us and bring drinks. The food took around 30 minutes to get, but it was worth it! All of the food was piping hot and freshly made! If we are in the area again, we would definitely come here. The amount of food was just right for all four of us (2adults and 2 teen boys) to eat with no leftovers. Such a tasty and cute little place!

    Eggs Benedict and loaded hash browns
    Duane S.

    Stopped in for breakfast after driving by and seeing some posts here. Eggs Benedict was good, loaded hash browns were good. It's exactly what you would expect from a greasy spoon. Banter from the staff was a very welcomed addition, we'll be back to try the chicken fried steak next time.

    Totally disappointed... the hours have not been updated on yelp and the café was closed today with a sign that said new hours Friday, Saturday, Sunday! Drove all the way there from Whidbey Island to discover it closed!!

    Ordered chicken fried steak, oatmeal, hobo Benny, and french toast. We took the food 5 minutes away to a park to eat and it was already cold when we got there (except for the oatmeal). However still tasted good. Chicken fried steak I feel would have been really good if hot. Kids liked hobo Benny and french toast. Slightly above average restaurant

    How I really wanted to like this place but was massively disappointed and feeling honestly scammed…read moreout of my money: This is a tourist trap and not a beloved local restaurant like I thought it would be. The cafe was very busy when we arrived and had to wait about 20 minutes for an open table out on the deck. Due to how busy it was, I had high hopes that the food was good. Unfortunately it felt more catered to the one and done tourist - take their money with over priced mediocre food that certainly did not command either aesthetics or taste. What we ordered: 1. Fried calamari $18: this was the smallest portion on an appetizer plate with three calamari rings and a handful of what appeared to be minuscule tentacle pieces heavily battered to give the dish the appearance of "more". Bland and oily - nothing really outstanding here. 2. Captain's Platter $28: this was the most expensive item on the menu. I ordered it hoping that at least quantity wise it would be satisfying. It came with one fried piece of cod, one fried piece of halibut, four fried shrimp and fries. I have never eaten more bland fries in my life. They weren't even crunchy but soggy with oil as they laid under the fried fish, which likely was hurriedly plated on the fries without letting the oil drip off. The fish was overcooked for sure - the cod was so small that I was honestly offended. The shrimp - undercooked. 3. Strawberry lemonade $5: standard, on the sour side. The only pleasant thing I have to say is that the hostess and waitress were very sweet. They were definitely understaffed and I felt badly for them so I tipped well. But I would not go back and do not recommend - unless you like to waste your vacation money on this tourist trap.

Our meal was good though prices are high, portions were on the small side, and the kitchen was a bit heavy handed with the salt which was a common thread through our appetizers and entrees. There is no children's menu and truffle salt coated the fries so they were not appealing to young palates. We ordered 4 appetizers shared around the table, bread (excellent but not included with the meal), a single soup, 6 entrees, and 9 cocktails (two with no alcohol). The bill came to just over $600 before tax and tip.

    August 12, 2025 - La Conner, WA…read more We had a wonderful lunch on the dog-friendly patio overlooking the waterfront. Our server was Melissa, and she was friendly and welcoming. We ordered the Wagyu Burger ($24) with a side salad to split. They charge a $2 split fee, which I prefer over bringing out one meal and an extra plate. The Wagyu Burger is the best burger I have had in a long time. The meat was cooked a perfect medium, and was served with caramelized onions, white cheddar, a most delicious truffle aioli, and a wonderful house made brioche bun. Yum. I was almost sorry I split this one. But that left room for dessert...a luscious chocolate mousse served with whipped cream and a macaron.

Affordable lunch burger and a beer? Yup. Fancy date night romantic dinner with craft cocktails? Heck yeah. Combining a casual, marine-themed ambiance with quaint La Conner vibes, and adding in some truly delish food and drink, there are few places in the area I'd rather eat. My favorite here is their bouillabaisse, with big pieces of fish, half a fresh Dungeness crab, sausage, and all the goodness cooked in their house-made broth. All I can say is: try it. Their raw oysters are also a favorite, but I can't say I've ever had a bad dish here. One time I swung out and tried their pork chop, which was truly sent from heaven. Their wine list contains several affordable options - on one visit our group enjoyed two bottles of an exquisite rose. And if gin is in your repertoire, don't miss the Empress Aviation which is not only pretty to look at, but quite tasty as well. Their happy hour features incredible drink and appy discounts, including half price bottles of wine. And I'd be remiss not to mention their friendly, lovely service. We always feel special when we visit. What's not to love about The Fork? I'm officially hungry now!

The omelet was fluffy, the potatoes were delicious, and the portions were generous. It was one of those meals that had us talking about how good it was long after we finished. What made the experience even better was the incredible service. Our waiter, Stevie, was so sweet, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. You can tell he genuinely cares about his guests. We also want to give a special shoutout to Emily, who took the time to stop and chat with our daughter. Small gestures like that mean so much when you're traveling with little ones, and she made our family feel so welcomed. Great food, wonderful staff, and such a warm atmosphere. We'll definitely be recommending this spot to family and friends and will be back the next time we're in town!

I came for ONE cookie. ONE. What I found was an absolute wall of bakery beautifulness that stopped me dead in my tracks. The line was out the door, not surprisingly but I needed every minute of that wait to make my decisions. Final verdict: a raspberry kiss mocha (dreamy), a lemondoodle cookie (excuse me, WHAT), and a molasses cookie that I'm still thinking about. To. Die. For. My husband went rogue and ordered a Lotus drink, which unfortunately arrived as approximately 90% soda water with the flavor just... vibing separately at the bottom. We tried. We stirred. We let it go. Stick to the baked goods, friends. The staff was warm and lovely even with a line out the door, which is its own kind of superpower. Calico Cupboard, I will be back. Ideally with a seat at an actual table someday. And maybe six cookies this time.
