Onion Double Cheeseburger with bacon from the Brown Lantern in Anacortes. Burger: Rings: Sauce: er The Bastard lives for burgers like this!!!Rings were awesome, ring sauce was incredible! I tasted garlic and honey, not sure of other ingredients. AMAZING!

Wow, what an amazing find. Had an amazing ferry res but had to wait until the paint store opened to pick up a delivery for San Juan Island. Found this place open at 7am, had a great breakfast and bloody mary. Bar tender that Saturday morning was awesome, went through his collection of hot sauces to allow us to customize our drink and breakfast spice level, we like it spicey! Thank you for a great start to our weekend!!!

Back for breakfast again and had a wonderful experience. The food was delicious and service was really good this morning: both the kitchen and the server were on it! Notes from my previous review still hold re: ambiance but knowing that going in, it wasn't a problem. Can't wait to get back!

The Brown, as we locals (and semi-locals) like to call it, is an Anacortes stalwart. Craving a beer, a cocktail, a nice dinner, some good appies, and/or a juicy burger? They've got you covered. I've been coming to the Brown for, like, decades now. It's a great spot to meet up with friends, enjoy a cold one, and eat some yummy food. They even used to have a shuffleboard table, which they got rid of several years ago to make room for more tables. I still miss that shuffleboard to this day, and secretly hope that, someday, I'll walk into the Brown and there it will be. My favorite here is their corn 'n crab chowder, which is offered in a cup or a bowl. Trust me, you'll want to get the bowl. They also make a mean quesadilla, and a generous (and healthy) hummus plate if I'm feeling like lighter fare. Seriously, though, I've never had a bad meal here, and there is something for every mood. Service is quick and friendly, especially if you sit on the "bar" side (which is 21+). The restaurant side is slightly slower, but still not bad. I believe they also offer brunch here now, but I haven't had a chance to check it out yet. Someday!

Nice atmosphere, great tavern vibe, a little dim and cozy, felt like a lot of locals hung out there. Friendly staff. Outdoor patio in the back. Good, varied menu. Good size portions. We were there for all you can eat Wednesday gumbo. Really enjoyed it, very hearty, comes with toasted garlic bread. Great fries. Big portion fish and chips but felt the fish was overcooked.

Great salad tonight. The very large carne asada salad was more than I could eat. If you are hungry give it a try. The meat is chopped and easy to eat. Lots of salsa that makes a great dressing.

We were looking for someplace to eat and stumbled across this place. They have a nice variety of menu options. We also had three employees check with us before we even had food. I had The Remmy which sounded really good... And it was. The Remmy sauce was a perfect amount of spiciness. The burger did have some redness in one spot but it was a thick burger so no big deal. We also had the fish tacos and BLT, both were very good. The only shortcoming was despite the attention prior to our food,no one checked in after that. Luckily there were not any issues. We will be back.

My companion said this was a must stop for their chili and the menu does say it is award winning. It was 9am and I wasn't feeling like chili so opted for the small brunch menu (full menu available). I got the half order of biscuits and gravy which had a very flavorful gravy. Egg and meat came with it. The egg was served on top of the biscuit and gravy. I opted for a side of potato which was thickly diced and seasoned well. Eclectic decoration in the bar with sports and local items. Large two sided space. Service was good but we were the only ones there for a little while as we got there when they opened. Will have to try the chili for lunch or dinner another time.
