The food there is awesome, better than I expected. Even though it is bit pricey than other regular breakfast place.

Friendly atmosphere with great quality food and perfect serving size. I am not into fries, but I really liked their house-cut fries. Give their mushroom burger a try if you’re into burgers.

We came for breakfast and ordered chicken and waffles, pancakes, corn beef hash. All our food tasted great. We came here after it was recommended to us by our Uber driver and it was a great recommendation for our last meal in Bellingham! Servers were kind and attentive. The restaurant is attached to a small market. Very quaint. Casual dining. Prices are fair.

Love this place! Super quaint neighborhood market with 9 tables and counter service inside, plus quiet outdoor areas as well! Oh and the best chicken and waffles in the city! I’m so glad I came here after a huge disappointment at The Filling Station. Picture is burger dip with salad. Superb! And at the right $. Pleasant, friendly service, always.

A great little neighborhood breakfast joint with outdoor seating (sun and shade options). Biscuits & gravy were top notch!

The customer service was excellent. Our host was rather patient and flexible with me. He was kind, pleasant and courteous. They all made us feel welcome. One complain – the Mac and Cheese was a little too salty. I would eat there again if I am in the area.

I had a lot of fun joining in for my first game night (they have them every Monday from 6 – 10pm). My friend and I went together and shared food beforehand.

Lovely neighborhood diner. Ordered the phở burger special and it was perhaps the best burger I’ve ever had. Maybe I was just hungry. Nelson’s also has some of the best fries in town.
