Tried Tommyknocker's for the first time. Service was good and the staff were so friendly and helpful. Ambience was simple, but not the type of place you would want to linger after eating. I tried the banger and mash pasty after reading several reviews. Was really looking forward to it. It didn't go as well as I hoped it would. One of those experiences where I could taste my dinner hours after eating it as if I offended in a gastronomical way. Perhaps it resented me for some reason. I would like this restaurant again, especially the macaroni and cheese, which also had good reviews. However, I'm a bit wary of a return visit. read more

This is a cool little place, I dig the British vibe. We ordered at the counter and grabbed a table. It didn't take long for the food to come out. It's good, the Mac and cheese was sub-par and my stroganoff was decent. The mushrooms were the highlight of the flavors. The food here really is different than anything else you'll find in town, so expect a unique experience. Good service, decent food. read more

After a long day of ferry rides and car travel, my family and I wandered into Tommyknocker's Cornish Pasty in Port Townsend, and it was exactly what we needed. We have four very different food preferences, yet we all found something delicious to enjoy. The staff greeted us warmly and let us pick our own seats, which made for a very relaxed start. As for the food: Mac n Cheese: A huge hit with both my husband and son. Balsamic Strawberry Salad: Fresh, crisp, and really tasty. Chicken Tikka Masala: This was the standout dish of the day! My daughter thought it was fantastic. Everything was prepared fresh and arrived in a timely manner. We will definitely be back the next time we are in town! read more

I'm in love with Tommyknocker's. I had the vegan crab cake sandwich and I was so impressed by the flavor, the texture, the creativity. My friends raved about their food as well! We'll be back to enjoy more of their great service and terrific food! read more

Delicious casual pub that's perfect for a quick bite while in Port Townsend. They have a very large variety on the menu with lots of vegetarian and vegan items. My chicken ricotta pasty was delicious and really hit the spot after a long day in the San Juan Islands. Service was very fast, all the employees were super friendly, and all the food was very fresh. I'll definitely come back here next time I'm in PT to try the pasta, it looked phenomenal. read more

I went here after a whale watch out of Port Townsend. It had a kind of dive bar atmosphere. The food was pretty good but not an amazing. Unfortunately, by 6pm all of the pasties were out so there wasn't a big selection. What we had was pretty good though. read more

One of my favorite restaurants whenever I'm in town. I usually get the mac and cheese but decided to go for the smoked salmon linguine this time. The food took some time to arrive but all of the foods arrived very hot and fresh. The restaurant has 4 TV's that usually plays some sports games. It's a great place for brunch for groups of any size! Mac and Cheese 5/5 Super rich/cheesy and always hot since it's served in the cast iron. I love that you can customize the mac and cheese to add whatever you'd like. The size looks a bit small but I usually get two servings out of it. The penne is always cooked well and absolutely covered in sauce. Smoked Salmon Linguine 5/5 I would drink this sauce if I could. The pasta is cooked perfectly and has just enough chew and bounce. The sauce is absolutely decadent and creamy with hints of salmon. There were also lots of salmon bits in the pasta and just the right about of cheese topped on the pasta. read more

Visited Tommyknocker's Cornish Pasty in Port Townsend today, November 2, 2025, around 2:30 PM. The place was busy but had such a warm and inviting atmosphere. The service was excellent--friendly and attentive even during the rush. We ordered the Kids Flatbread Pizza, a Baked Potato (GF), and the Lamb & Mint Pasty--everything was delicious and fresh. The food came out quickly, and the restaurant was very clean and well-organized. You can really taste the quality and care they put into their food. A beautiful place with great food, great service, and great vibes! Highly recommend stopping by if you're in Port Townsend. read more

The food was good and the place was pretty neat. However, the prices are just very high. I wanted to order some other items but couldn't justify spending $12 on a plain baked potato. It's in a prime location so this might also be why. read more

Great spot to reconnect with friends, old and new. We came in on a Thursday and they had something for everyone. Our friends visiting from out of town are vegan and the menu had a solid and delicious options for them to choose, they got the Vegan Eggplant and Lentil Lasagna and vegan Mac and Cheese. I got the Rueben Pastie and half apple salad. Really great menu, fast service for our large party. I highly recommend this spot! read more

This is a great casual place to eat in Port Townsend with so many vegan options! I'm so grateful to have lots of options here. I got the Vegan Vindaloo Pastie, which reminded me of a giant samosa. So good! I tried my family's food as well and my favorite was the Vegan Shepherd's Pie. The Vegan Crab Cake Burger was also a solid choice. You can tell that someone here put a lot of thought into the vegan menu and it's not just your basic black bean burger. I will definitely be back next time I'm in the area! read more

The crab mac & cheese here is perfection; I'll be dreaming about it for awhile! The lamb pasty was also very tasty and my mom enjoyed the smoked salmon chowder. Great pub vibe, quaint location, and helpful staff. Definitely recommend this place and would like to come back! ...but seriously run, don't walk for the crab mac 'n cheese. read more

Vegetarians, vegans, meat eaters rejoice in the YUM. Super cute and casual spot on the main strip in downtown port Townsend. From the outside it looks like a bar, but inside shows a casual and cozy local nook. The vegan crab cake sandwich was BOMB, flavorful, great slaw, soft bread, all the yum. The vegan Shepards pie pastie was cooked perfectly and just what we needed on a cold day. So! Good! Easy ordering - order at the counter, take a number, they bring it to you. Makes good for groups of all sizes. read more

Had the lamb and mint pastie and a beef one. Both were pretty bland. It's a small place, good service.

Our party of five was pleasantly surprised with this little spot. My wife and teenage and young adult daughters consider themselves Mac & Cheese connoisseurs. The Mac & Cheese scored between 9 and a perfect 10 with all three women. It was served hot and melty in a skillet and stayed hot until all gone. I didn't order it but tasted it (several times) and thought it was amazing, and I would put it in my Top 3 of all time. The other meals were also very good and so was my ice-cold local pilsner. In a town with limited options and sometimes sub-par service this place was a winner. Friendly staff, good service, and fantastic food. If you find yourself here for a visit, stop in and check them out. If you love Mac & Cheese, hurry up and go, you won't regret it. read more

I recently visited Tommyknocker's Cornish Pasty in downtown Port Townsend, and it was an absolute delight from start to finish! This cozy British-inspired spot at 711 Water Street has such a warm, inviting atmosphere perfect for a relaxed meal in a charming seaside town. I ordered the crab cakes, and wow--they were incredible. Two generous 3oz patties made with Dungeness and rock crab, perfectly crispy on the outside and tender inside, served with a flavorful pesto aioli and fresh salad greens dressed in their house Tommyknocker's dressing. Every bite was packed with sweet, fresh crab flavor without any filler overload. Hands down one of the best crab cakes I've had anywhere. My wife went with the Crab Mac 'n Cheese, and she couldn't stop raving about it. Loaded with real Dungeness and rock crab, creamy housemade cheese sauce, and perfectly cooked pasta it was rich, indulgent, and comforting in the best way possible. She said it was "perfection" and she'll be dreaming about it for weeks! The service was friendly and attentive, the portions were satisfying, and the whole experience felt special. If you're in Port Townsend and love seafood with a British twist (or just great food in general), Tommyknocker's is a must-visit. We'll definitely be back for their famous pasties next time! read more

This was not our first visit to Tommyknockers. We have vegan friends and they love this place so we visited last year and loved our meals ... whatever we ordered. That, I don't remember. We loved the interior. It's small and kind of quaint. The restaurant is definitely unique in what it serves. You order at the counter and the server delivers to your table. Beyond that it's kind of self-serve for whatever. Three of us ordered the bangers and mash. We did not care for it. It was made in a very thick, hard crust. Once you cracked the "shell", we found it dry and didn't care for the seasoning. I'm sure we will go again but will definitely try something else. read more

Great little place in Port Townsend. Made it on Mac and Cheese Monday, so good! Bangers and Gorgonzola Mac and cheese was delicious and the Vegan style Mac and cheese was fantastic (avoiding dairy but love meat) so got it pulled pork style and loved it. Creamy and smooth and hot. Went well with a tap Scotch Ale. The potato and leak soup (also vegan) was fantastic. Friendly fast service read more

Tommyknocker's Cornish Pasty - Mac and Cheese pulled pork style (Vegan!?!?!) - British Near Me - Port Townsend, Washington

Guess im a fool for expecting salmon in the "award winning" salmon chowder. Staff was friendly, they allow dogs on the back patio.

Update: I saw a credit on my credit card for the amount I was overcharged - wow ai wasn't expecting that. Thank you! The place was close to our hotel and they had the Seahawks game playing which was why we decided to come here for dinner. Nice ambiance and the servers were friendly and helpful. They ran out of the pasties we wanted so went with the pulled pork melt and the chicken ricotta pasty. The pulled pork was very tasty and would recommend it. The chicken ricotta pasty not so much. It lacked flavor. I would come back again to try what we originally wanted to order which were the Traditional Steak and Ruben. I think this was a mistake but I was charged twice for the pulled pork melt. I did not catch it until I looked at the receipt the day after. Lesson learned - always double check your receipts before paying. read more

I chose this restaurant because other Yelpers mentioned that they had a good number of vegan options. --They weren't wrong. I actually had to think a bit to make a decision because each vegan option sounded good! (I went with the vegan flatbread pizza and was not disappointed. It had a little more balsamic than I would have liked-- but, still, it was a treat!) There is a "pub feel" in that you order at the counter then go sit down. This isn't at all a problem for me but I thought it worth mentioning for those who are looking for more of a formal setting. There were 3 employees visible and each was working away at their designated task. One was taking orders, one was cooking, and the other was busing and tidying the place. All were nice and helpful. The door was wide open, so I was a little chilly (in spite of a space heater). As such, I recommend bringing a sweater or jacket. read more

I had high expectations from the awards in the windows and the other reviews. It's interesting because I would not say the food is bad, but I don't remember it as being necessarily good either. Just okay. If you're as hungry as we were, it will satiate your hunger, but it left us feeling a bit wanting. 1. Smoked Salmon Chowder (bowl $14)- This was pretty good. 2. Flatbread pizza with mushrooms (add $2) and sausage (add $5) = $20 - This would be a pass. 3. Lamb and Mint Pasties ($18) - Nope 4. Smoked Salmon Linguine ($25) - very creamy and was okay, but not something we'd need to have again. Restaurant isn't large, but we found a table immediately. Others had to stand around and wait for a table to open up. They do have a small selection of arcade games for the kiddos which is fun. For the price, it didn't quite hit the mark. read more

Really great pasty - the steak pieces were big and the side sauce was pretty essential to the flavor. Missus had the vegan (faux) crab cake burger, super delicious with tasty slaw. Beers (hazy) had the right balance for a pasty. I've had the real deal in the UK and these were close, perhaps the filling was a tad less hearty, but good flavor and tasty crust. read more

Tommyknocker's is as close as you might get to a British pub (minus the bar), from the decor to the food to the noise. Our guests from the British Isles were delighted with the pasties. They said the Pasties couldn't be more authentic. After several years of eating there, I cannot recommend anything else because I Always Order the Pasties! :-) But I have spoken with many, at other tables, as is the way with pubs, and everyone has been very impressed with their orders. The staff is efficient and friendly, and Busy. Highly recommended~~~ read more

Was drawn in by the Cornish Pastries menu but left with a belly full of Crab Mac and Cheese. The best non-traditional mac and cheese dish I've ever had. 4 different types of cheese -- Beecher cheddar, mozzarella, pepper jack, parmesan-reggiano with dungeness/rock crab and penne. Perfectly creamy and cheesy without overdoing it. Our first visit to Port Townsend. Unpretentious, casual and relaxed restaurant with an impressively diverse menu for all types of eaters-- vegans, meat eaters, etc. A good representation of an English Pub l! read more

Theres a reason Tommyknockers wins in numerous categories in the local newspaper Reader's Choice awards over the last several years like BEST restaurant...because they are the BEST for comfort food in Port Townsend. Our favorites are the Chicken Tikka Masala (with naan and basmati rice) on Fridays, Mac n Cheese dishes (big enough to split--its very rich, and you can add crab, bacon, mushroom and onions, pulled pork, or homemade sausage for extra $), their flatbread pizzas, the Pigs in a Blanket (homemade dough with bacon wrapped smoked piggies inside and a cheese dip on the side), and the pasties!! THE PASTIES! They make their dough on the premises fresh...the attention to detail in the tastes are evident in their foods. This is a family owned small business and this is an ABSOLUTE favorite place to eat lunch or dinner. Staff and service is fantastic, friendly, ambiance cozy, a happy atmosphere, and the food is fantastic. The owners Nikki and Thomas Skipper just opened a sister restaurant in town called Nikki's Quickies, and it is wonderful too. You can taste in their food combinations, someone has a culinary degree (Nikki). This is a must go to place if you ever visit Port Townsend. read more

Quaint lil spot in Port T that sells pasties. Smaller eating area, but there's room outside as well, that we didn't check out. They give you a number so the wait staff can find your table. I got the lamb and my spouse had the beef. Mine was amazing. The beef was a bit too peppery. The cider was yummy. All in all it was a very fun lunch experience.
