We stopped in for lunch with a family of 5. The beer was good but the food was average. Fortunately we didn't see the cook until we had finished our lunch. He was tattooed from head to toe and was not someone you would want cooking your meal . If you are looking for more than a beer, go somewhere... more

We used to go to the Front Street Ale House weekly or more in 2007. It wasn't a cheap place but you could never finish your meal. I'd always walk out with food in a take-out container. Each visit since then has been a big disappointment. We no longer will go there. The portions got small and the food lost... more

So to start with to make it fair, we ended up at the Ale House because lunch at a nearby restaurant was not working out and we had limited time till we needed to go get in line for the ferry back to Anacortes and this was very close to the place we left so it won by default. That... more

We had dinner at this restaurant. Our waitress was friendly & efficient. The beer was good. The fish & chips seemed to be popular but my companion did not like the fish at all - mostly greasy batter with very little fish. The fries were very good. My french dip sandwich was ok but not great. more

When I placed my order for "Kick-Ass Chili and a liter of Pepper Ale", our server verified that I understood that I was ordering both food and beverage that were "really spicy" and that I... more

We ate here twice during our 3-day stay. Had very good service both times - the first time by a very young, but efficient waiter - and great food. Yes, it was a little relaxed, messy, but it's a pub for heavens sake! Good selection of beer and wine, and they advertise use of local produce/products from the island's organic... more

During our stay on San Juan Island, we spend one afternoon down in the lovely town of Friday Harbor. There were a number of restaurant choices for lunch, but we settled on Front Street Ale House because my husband appreciates good beer and the place looked great for a family with two teenagers. While the beer was good, the food... more

I peeked into the kitchen and was appalled at the food left standing and the dirty cooks hanging out. This place should be shut down. Health dept? more

This place was quite busy but our food came quite fast to the table. Was prety good for pub grub. more
