The Old Edison Inn in Edison, WA


From Bellingham, take Chuckanut Drive to Edison for a scenic excursion. When you get there, stop at The Old Edison.

This historic restaurant was established in 1934 and continues to provide good food, drink and entertainment for locals and travelers alike.

The Edison has two things I really love, beer and oysters. They have local micro-brews on tap, now that's a little bit of heaven.

You can get fresh oysters from nearby Samish Bay as an appetizer, burger or a meal (my choice). Of course, there are steaks, burgers, salads and other good stuff -- but the oysters are for me.

Prices are reasonable and the old-time casual atmosphere makes it comfortable. Want to eat outdoors on a sunny day or warm evening? There's a huge grass area with tables out back.

Like entertainment? There are two very popular shuffleboard tables. And there's live music with dancing on weekends.

Tidal reflections as the ocean reaches all the way to Edison in the Samish Delta.

Lunch is served daily from 11:30 a.m. Closing is 11:00 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and midnight on Fridays and Saturdays. Edison may be a bit off the main drag, but well worth the scenic side trip.


You can also get to Edison from the I-5 Freeway. If you are heading north or south take the Bow-Hill exit and head west (click here for directions). You can't miss it. -- Margy

  1. ...look like a place worth visiting. It would be a long drive for burger though!

    1. Sometimes finding a good burger after a long drive is a plus, but for sure yours would be too long. - Margy

  2. I can't wait to explore more of Australia. One day, and any place that has shuffleboard will be on my map. My grandmother had one growing up and it was always part of our family reunions!

  3. Margy - whenever we travel, we always ask locals where to go to eat. It usually results in a joint "off the beaten track", and sometimes it may not look like much from the outside, but it's always worth it. Thanks for sharing this tip with all the readers at Mosaic Monday - I am sure mouths will be watering!

    1. Yes, Washington University won their softball regionals. It was fun to watch. We've enjoyed the Old Edison Inn so much we haven't tried some of the other places. What have you tried? - Margy
