It's so popular there is always a wait - but grab a bench or just call ahead - but don't miss the best little deli in Washington. The reuben is fantastic, the cold case has pies and local beverages and we just adore this spot.

A seasonally changing menu with new fun options all the time - but if pork belly or local Penn Cove mussels are on the menu - you can't go wrong.

South Whidbey Tips
Island time! South Whidbey is a slice of the slow life. It's a different place and a different place. We have been surprised by shops & restaurants here closing on the early side. If you have your heart set on something, see if you can make a reservation or call ahead for takeout. We have also been surprised to see so many farm stands and flower stands that still use the honor system! It's a little nostalgia that we adore!
