Great view, Terrible Service and food is just okay. We sail up to the San Juan Islands every year. The Downrigger seems to be a popular spot to go due to is location near the Ferry Dock and Friday Harbor Marina. The main dinning room has a wonder view of the harbor and ferry dock. If you've came for the... more

We shared the crab louie salad and a crab sandwich. The view is of the ferry dock. Many of the other restaurants are closed for lunch and the weekend. It's a fun trip over on the ferry from Anacortis for lunch and a hike. more

The view of Friday Harbor on the outside deck is fantastic, but don't miss ordering some of their delicious seafood. The mussels and the crab cakes were the best that we have ever had. Their onion rings and steamed clams were wonderful too! more

We sat on the deck and loved the view. The salmon cobb salad I ordered had too little lettuce. Very generous with blackened salmon, but limp lettuce and less than generous. Husband's fish tacos a better choice. more

The food was pre-prepared and thrown together. I wouldn't go again with so many great restaurants near by. more

We absolutely loved Downriggers. We loved it so much that we ate there both nights were in Friday Harbor. Out of our whole trip to Seattle and the Northwest, Downriggers was one of the culinary highlights. My husband and I had the halibut on night one and crab cakes on night two. Both were absolutely fabulous. Their house salad was... more

We had a very nice lunch at Downriggers, overlooking the harbor. It's superbly situated and the service is good and friendly. I had crabcakes - excellent and my significant other had the creamiest chowder imaginable. Very nice indeed! more

My wife and I had breakfast there after arriving to the island. I had dungeness crab eggs benedict which were excellent. The service was superb and the view of the harbor was nice. There were families with kids there that were being well-attended to. Locals give this place a thumbs up as well. Good prices and laid back atmosphere. more
