Arlis's Restaurant

Arlis's food is good, especially the sweat potatoe fries. The burgers are good, the biscuits and gray is great, they have their own blend of coffee. The hashbrowns as a meal is also good. The service is always good, the booths are comfortable, and the dining room has great lighting since the restaurant is on a corner lot. There is even a back room for small meatings. This is a great breakfast cafe. The prices are reasonable, plus there is no pretense, no dirty hippies, no organic only vegetable integrated meals. Just good cooking and quality service.

The last meal I had there was the Patty melt with onion rings. As I"m writing this comment, my mouth is already drooling for more. It was delicious. Great service also. Golden Arches....take notice

We were there as the first customer when it was Lyn's (1980 something). It is nice to know that everything is almost the same. It has always been friendly and the food has been outstanding. We are now in sunny Florida but surely miss the people and food of Arlis's.

This is the best breakfast and anytime food in downtown Bellingham. The portions are amazing. The food is great. The service is very good to. I don't eat out much, but when we do...it's Arlis's we usually head for. The is homestyle cuisine at it's best and there is something on the menu for everybody. As for mister picky pants above complaining about smoke, I believe the establishment is non-smoking now anyway. The burgers are divine and the biscuits & gravy are not to be missed. Come hungry for good old fashioned no frills homecooking and you won't leave hungry.

After having relocated to the midwest a number of years ago, we can say with confidence that there's nothing that compares to Arlis's for chicken fried steak and eggs when you're hung over. We miss it!

Arlis's Restaurant has the best biscuits and gravy this side of Louisiana, the biscuits light and HUGE, and the gravy chock full of sausage bits and flavor. Arlis's baked goods are her own recipes, now wonderfully prepared by the new owner, whom Arlis has trained since he was a kid. (I spoke with her last week, and she's retiring again in mid-August. Hurry in or you'll miss saying goodbye.) The kid (no, I don't know his name) always cooks my poached eggs perfectly (no one else in town can seem to do this). The wait staff are attentive, seldom missing a refill on coffee, iced tea, or water. These are some truly nice people, running a truly great diner. Best of luck to The Kid.

I'm excited to try this place now that it is smoke free. We too have walked in before and walked out from it being too smoky. Looking forward to it being a regular breakfast place for us!

I've never eaten here. My wife and I have walked in twice for breakfast and it stinks of cigarette smoke. We choose to go to other places in town for our breakfast.

I always try to get there when I cross the line but did not line for a week for a passport so =(
....My favourite place to eat south of home. TASTY food, not frozen crap from the cheap aisle at Costco. And also a dying style of cafe in North America as the "Hell's Kitchen" types take over. No I do want passion fruit infused Soy bacon with quail eggs on the side.
