“Went here for my birthday with the family and it didn’t disappoint. We tried the Saganaki (fried cheese flamed at our table) for appetizer. And we decided to go with the Greek Platter for 2. This was a 3 course meal that was more than enough for me and wife and needed a box to bring home leftovers. The first course was one spanakopita and one tiropita. Both were tasty. Followed up with 2 small Greek salads paired with the house dressing that brought a nice balance and didn’t over power the salad. The main course was a HUGE platter of two dolmades, moussaka, Greek ribs and rice pilaf. These dolmades were delicious, the moussaka was seasoned, tasted amazing and held up well. And the Greek ribs was a first try for me. The meat was covered with a dry rub that is beyond flavorful and the meat was so tender. This was all served over rice pilaf that was moist Ended with night with a Greek special dessert. Coming to this restaurant for the first time we were well pleased. Will be back again for sure. Our waitress was attentive and helped us understand the menu. If you are looking for a place that puts love into their cooking. Look no further than Five Columns.”

Holly's Meat Pies 4073 Hannegan Rd suite j, Bellingham American • $

“I know this is a shameless plug, but I just finished eating a beef meat pie from Holly's, and I have to write this: I just found Holly's Meat Pies and had my first pie from them. I can't say enough about how delicious my pasty was!!!! Thank YOU! 🙏🏻 The crust is absolute perfection – not too dry, not oily. Perfectly cooked. The pie stayed hot even though I drove home. Wow! I got the beef, and the filling was perfect. The balance of the spices, herbs, the quality of the meat, the vegetables and the onion was superior and absolutely perfectly balanced. This lady has skills!! The taste is wonderful. Holly gave me samples of Ty's Barbecue Sauce and Pasty Sauce !!! Yummmmm! I tested the barbecue sauce because I couldn't resist – I'll be back for at least one bottle and it won't last long. And the pasty sauce was fantastic. I'm buying a bottle. I had never heard of putting any kind of sauce on my pasty, but I'll put this on it! The thing about the pasty is it's so good without the sauce, but it's great with the sauce, too. I alternated bites lol. 😆 Since the pasty is neither dry nor greasy, it stands on its own so perfectly that I couldn't imagine putting the sauce on it – until I tried! It kicks the flavor up a notch. I bought a frozen Chicken pie for later, and I "liberated" several menus - this is going to become a habit!!!! Can't wait to try the Vegan pie (🥧 mushrooms!!), and the lamb pie and the entire menu! Feels like I found a culinary goldmine that's right up my alley. I feel so lucky that this is in Bellingham, and that I don't live too far from it because I will be a frequent visitor. And they are so friendly- great, wholesome, quick, affordable food!! What's not to love?! 💕 I also want to say hello to Holly and to Andrea who I met today and who were so friendly & knowledgeable. Smart women getting it done!! ✅ They answered every question I had. If you haven't tried this place, you've got to go and try it. This is the ultimate easy portable health food! Great with soup 🥣, salad 🥗 and Bordeaux!! My belly is happy 😊! What a therapeutic experience!!”

Their Mongolian Beef is a different interpretation from the norm. Which is pretty decent.

Their Coconut curry is good but on the thicket side of the sauce. Enough for my son to devour it to his liking.

Overall the service and the food is good. The price of admission is on the higher end of the scale for a Chinese resturant.”

El Capitan's 1201 Cornwall Ave #101, Bellingham Hot Dogs • $

“🏴‍☠️ Zeya187’s Epic Raid on El Capitan’s 🏴‍☠️

When the moon crests Bellingham Bay and the townsfolk drift to slumber, that’s when the true marauders prowl. And for nigh on 15 years, this hungry pirate’s compass has pointed to one dock only — El Capitan’s.

Last night, me crew and I braved the brine and the bar brawls of Railroad Ave — storming through the mist like specters hungry for plunder. Our bounty? Polish sausages fatter than a cutlass handle, pretzels bigger than a ship’s wheel, cider cold as the North Sea, and local brew to drown a kraken.

I swear on the briny deep — ye haven’t lived until ye stand in that nautical den, teeth sunk deep in a pepper-smoked sausage dripping with secret sauces and grilled onions sweeter than a siren’s song. Each bite hits like cannon fire — smoky, rich, layered with that Cap’n Marc magic. This ain’t no landlubber dog stand — this is a vessel for flavor that’s braved two decades of storms and stayed afloat as the town’s tastiest legend.

The pretzels? Golden and pillowy, salt crystals catching the lantern light like buried treasure. We tore ‘em apart like ravenous buccaneers — dunkin’ ‘em in cheese and mustard while laughing off the drizzlin’ rain outside.

And oh, the cider and brew! A pint o’ local grog in one hand, sausage in the other — we toasted to old pirates, new legends, and the smell of the sea on our coats. Every sip soaked up the day’s toil and spat it back out with a grin.

El Capitan’s ain’t just food — it’s a damn adventure. The walls drip with maps, pirate lamps glow over stories traded by drifters, townies, and long-timers like me. Here, every bite’s a memory forged in grease, beer foam, and community grit.

So here’s me truth: ye can keep yer chain dogs, yer stale dive bars — El Capitan’s is where the real sea dogs gather. Marc and crew run the galley like a well-oiled galleon, feeding souls and bellies alike.

Fifteen years strong and the legend grows. I’ll be back, I’ll always be back — ‘cause when Zeya187 and crew sail in hungry, there’s no better harbor than this brine-soaked, bratwurst-sizzlin’, grog-pourin’ pirate den.

🦜 5/5 Skulls & Crossbones — Raise yer pint, bite yer brat, and let the good times roll!
See ye on the next raid, El Capitan’s — long may ye sail! ⚓️”

“Their food is delicious. They have some traditional bbq items that are a staple for all bbq joints, but also have some unique sandwiches. Their buns are to-die-for, baked with rosemary. I could eat them all day. We brought a large group of about 20 for my husbands 30th birthday. No one had ever been. Everyone left happy. Thank you Big Stick BBQ!”

New Mexico Tamale Company 4151 Meridian St #106, Bellingham New Mexican Cuisine • $

Sweet As Waffles 122 E Magnolia St, Bellingham Food Trucks • $

“I took my first bite and thought, " S**** I'm sharing. " yes, they're great for sharing, but you won't want to. They're so good you gobble it down while at the same time savoring the crispness of the waffle, the just-right topping amount and how everything works together for the perfect bite! The Canadian Quesadilla and the pumpkin syrup build-your-own....shut. up. I can't recommend them strongly enough. Nate is the best host, too. Stop by.. You'll be very glad you did. Then tell 20 friends.”
