The Eatery

The Eatery is great. There aren’t a lot of choices in Marblemount, but this place is one of two places that I eat. Pro tip, get a cinnamon roll. You won’t be disappointed. Also, check out the rabbits. They are adorable.

Ate here a few nights ago and let me say that the small staff was friendly and as helpful as they could be. It is a small place, part of a very rustic «resort» up the Skagit valley and our experience was definitely «meh».
First off, we read some very interesting and enticing offerings on the menu on their web site. When we got to the café, we noticed NONE of those items were on the fairly limited menu. When we asked about it we were told «Oh, that web site is years old and we don’t have any of those items now. We’d get rid of it, but we don’t know how.» So, IGNORE any website menus or descriptions you find.
The place is mostly burgers, along with a few fresh soups, salads, and a chicken pot pie. Three of us got the chicken pie and it was homemade… but kind of mediocre. Kind of small, not well seasoned. Just a hard pastry on top that didn’t cover most of the dish (not really a pie). Two of ours were downright cold when they came to the table, but they did warm them us.
We did order the last cinnamon roll they had and took it back to our campsite. Alas, it was really hard and dry; might have been cooked the day before. You could tell if it was fresh it would have been amazing… but it was just hard and dry and we threw most of it away. We should have had some of the apple or cherry pie that looked good instead.
So if all you expect is a fairly average burger and fries and soup, or you get there in the morning for a fresh roll, you’ll probably like the place just fine. We expected a bit more and were disappointed.

Stopped off on the way home from camping with friends and the family. The service is slow because the grill is not big enough for 6 orders at once. The food was well worth the wait. The servers are great, entertaining and very very personable. The skillet was a good mix of potatoes and meat. The best part was the cinnamon roll with whiskey syrup!!! I will be stopping by again if I’m in the area

This little Diner is part of «Skagit River Resorts».
We stopped here after hiking and had a great time.
Pros– Cute country diner vibe inside, good food and amount for money, yummy homemade marmolade roll (they were sold out of the cinnamon rolls).
Cons– the service was a bit off. They were full, but not crazy full and the servers didn’t really seem to have any sort of rhythm to what they were doing. Not bad service, just strange. Almost like they really didn’t have any organization or plan on how to serve. Everyone was very nice however.
Food– I got the Skagit Sampler, which I liked quite a bit. I didn’t really know what I wanted, so I got a little of everything. two good sized pancakes, two pieces of toast (I got wheat), hash browns, one egg (I got another on the side), and a meat choice (I got bacon, which was two pieces. I should have got the ham steak, since it was huge). Everything was nicely cooked. My wife got the biscuits and gravy, which she thought was OK, but not great. she said the gravy was a bit bland. I’m not a biscuits and gravy guy, so I didn’t try it.
I would go back here again, but lower my expectations on service. I always rate a place by what I was charged and I thought it was fair.
