Northwater

I just ate there on Saturday and it’s awful. After I got my burger I thought a joke was being played on me. It looked like something a kid would make. A lump of unseasoned meat with plastic cheese on a soggy roll. I took two bites of what you call a burger and pushed it to the edge. The new server (first night )had no clue and didn’t even ask why it wasn’t eaten. My date got the chicken strips and looked like a kids meal with two tiny pieces on a plate. The drinks were a mess and tasted nothing like what the should have. Then we were told there are no more limes but magically they reappeared 2 drinks later. We were handed to filthy used paper menus and the booth was full of crumbs. Apparently kids kid eat in the bar as well. What a joke this place is. Ruined the Northwater name.

Stopped by here to grab a bite to eat just before our Vegas trip (pre-COVID). It was a recommended location near the airport. It was very clean and the menu was simple and familiar. Service at the time was pretty slow and unattentive despite only 3 tables being full. I did enjoy my meal which came in the American size portion (no surprise). I couldn’t finish my plate which was wasteful but both dishes were enjoyable. We felt like we got good value for the reasonable price we paid. It’s a great place to eat if you are stuck in Bellingham airport. Definitely would go again because of the food quality and price. Hope it opens again soon.

Best bison burger ever ! Menu is seasonal so I hope the bison burger is a constant ! Fly into Bellingham airport and walk over (maybe 200 yards from the General aviation terminal at the base of the tower). It’s located on the north end of the Holiday Inn Express. There is a 10-15% discount if you fly in or are a pilot (rumor).
