Scotty Browns

Our service was organized and friendly. I hadn’t been here for nearly 5 years because I felt that I didn’t fit in with the vibe. On this visit, there were families, couples, and regular folks like me. The tuna tower was excellent as were the ½ portion of nachos. The Scotty’s Old Fashioned, however, was not my style. I am a bourbon kind of lady and the addition of grapefruit juice just didn’t work. Too much ice in the second try of a regular Old Fashioned, so I chose wine on the last drink. Good 9 oz pour. I will come back.

Been there twice and found the food uninspired and the wait staff lacking experience. Not a place I am interested in spending money.

A consistently good restaurant and the staff is very seasoned and good (not to mention they all look like models). I can’t think of a better place for Happy Hour or good food in Bellingham — they have a good wine list that isn’t over inflated! We also bring a fave from home and pay the reasonable corkage fee! If you are single this also would be a great place to go; if you want to meet someone who doesn’t smell like weed and french fries, like most joints in downtown Bellingham. It’s classy yet fun, yet brave place in a town full of hippies and Birkenstock’s.

Love this restaurant. It CAN be pricey, for sure. But if you are careful, you can get out of there with a wonderful dinner and a beer for under $ 20. Their cowgirl salad, an order of sweet potato fries and a Mack and Jacks… delicious, filling and NOT costly. The girls that work there are great, super friendly. Ambience is good. Gets VERY LOUD at happy hour, so you might want to sit in the restaurant rather than the bar. This place is great.

We have had many great meals here. Tonight we noted that the portion sizes have gotten smaller. When we inquired we were told by both the server and the manager that the corporation needed to control portion sizes, even at the risk of upsetting customers. reducing portion size may be a way «corporate» thinks they’ll maximize profits, but if you lose customers, then where’s the profit?

Nice place in a newly developed part of Bellingham. The staff is nice and the atmosphere is open.

Love the Kobe burger and the excellent service!
Great place to watch the Stanley Cup.

Friendly and quick service. Food quality (grilled chicken burger) was top notch and full of flavor. Location was modern, clean, upbeat and had great prices. A great dining experience and a very quality meal for a fair price.
Excited to return again and try the Taco Tuesday special.

Reminds of Earls’ or the Keg. Upscale continental food in a nice environment. Service was quick at lunch and the pizza was good. Definitely go there again when in the area.

I really enjoy going to Scotty Brown’s for a date night or for drinks.
I was turned off at first because they servers wear high heels and short, tight fitting little black mini skirts and look a little too on the sexy side for working there. But, the place is trendy, has a great outdoor patio, and the food and drinks are delicious! But, it is a little on the pricy side. I ordered the Healthy Social Bowl — Potato Crusted Halibut tartar sauce, almond rice, cowgirl salad and a Bellini, and they were so good, I can’t wait to come back again! Our server was very nice and let us know all about the Social Hour prices and options.

The two stars are for our servers because they were nice
The food: I had the shrimp and chicken pad thai. Ummm it wasn’t that great and certainly not authentic. My meal came some minutes after everyone else’s and wasn’t very hot. I had a taste of my daughter“s burger and it was under seasoned and just plain boring. I didn’t sense that the ingredients were all that fresh. I’m sorry the food would not prompt me to make a second trip. Local patrons might like it but this place is a bummer on my list.
I might add that this was my second time visiting here and the first time was a more pleasant experience than the first. Although, it was nothing to rave about.

The food was fantastic, the drinks were amazing and the while environment was incredible! Seriously love this restaurant! I ordered one of their pizzas and it was delicious!

Good ambience. Clean bathrooms. Fast lunch service. Excellent place to take clients to lunch.

I’ve passed this place almost everyday whenever im in town and decided to go there for dinner with some friends. First off, parking can be a bit hard to find just because the eetaurant shres the same parking lot with severak other restaurants and a super market. The entrance to the restaurant is also a bit hard to find depending on where you park. I found myself trying to go through the back door at one point.
The inside of the restaurant is set with a modern and contemporary feel. the open bar hosts a great sekection of wines, spirits, and local brewed and domestic beers which is an absolute plus! Known for their burgers, i ordered the angus mushroom burger with house fries and blueberry martini. And as an appetizer, the soy ginger beef. Though the dining area is large, customers can still catch a glimps of the kitchen preparing food orders. My martini arrived accompanied by the ginger beef which was spicy and delicious. The angus burger arrived and was massive, held together by a toothpick and a massive mound of fries. The burger is was cooked well but a bit on the dry side for my taste, no surprise because of its massive size.
Overall the restaurant provides a relaxing and business casual atmosphere that is fun accomodating. Wait staff was friendly, quick, and helpful. for those who’ve never dined at Scotty Browns before. Food was good, reasonably priced, and came in big portions. For in those in need of good food, good beer, and social ambiance… Scotty Browns is the perfect social house!

I come to Scotty Brown’s because it’s convenient, I like the staff, the specialty drinks are tasty and the service is good. I also like the ambiance, and it has become the gathering place in the new «financial district» of Bellingham.

Great atmosphere, fun and friendly employees, and great food. A bit expensive, but a great place to take a date.

Any place that forces it’s female employees to wear high heels gets a bad rep from me.
Pros?
Large menu
I’ve heard the food is good
Cons?
Weak and expensive drinks
Maybe the servers were rude because their feet hurt?

Canada can keep this place. This place and the Earls and whatever other crappy Canadian chain restaurants can stay in the great white north.

I’ve eaten here a couple of times now, and it is a really hard place to review. On the one hand, the food is pretty decent, if not a bit spendy. The menu items are kind of strange for the sake of being strange (Why the odd combo of sushi, pizza, and burgers?) but good. On the other hand, there is something so creepy, corporate, and forced about this restaurant’s image (check their website if you don’t believe me). It’s like its entire reason for existing is so that people in «business» who carry briefcases will have a place to have cocktails and slightly pretentious but accessible food after work while talking about nothing meaningful but laughing heartily anyway since that’s what the boss is doing. As the evening progresses, they get more and more drunk, and eventually the night ends in a distasteful daiquiri-​driven Bacchinalia of potbellied business men hitting on middle management divorcées in Jones NY suits and cheap shoes while some retro Bön Jovi song plays overhead. The next morning’s walk of shame past the water cooler is a long one, but our intrepid corporate warriors live to fight another day.
But yeah, the pizza is pretty good.
Note for Disabled: Reasonably accessible, has its own parking lot.

I’ve been to Scotty Browns many times in the past, this visit occurred on New Year’s Eve, just a drop in.
Scotty Browns is a classy joint. Nice décor, high end finishes, and classy staff (well dressed and friendly) are all found here.
We arrived without a reservation (when we came here 3 years ago on NYE we had no problem getting a very good table) and were asked if we would be done with our meal within 1.75 hours, we said yes and were showed to a table in the bar.
When busy, Scotty Browns can very loud, and tonight it was busy and loud! Nearly too loud to have a conversation. Neither me nor my guest could here our waitress.
Our server wore the commensurate tight and simple black dress. Don’t get me wrong, for guys who visit, this is a positive. The ladies look very good.
I ordered a glass of red wine, my guest just had water. A quart milk bottle is provided for easy water refills.
I have had the Kobe Burger in the past but tonight I opted for the Hickory burger (smoked beef with bacon and other trimmings). It was a tall burger that probably should be served wrapped… it is a bit of a mess trying to eat. I ordered the Yam fries with my burger but was disappointed. The usually well-​cooked fries (crispy but not dry) were undercook and… limp. The dipping sauce is really tasty, so I ate those that were not too raw and skipped the rest. The burger was well prepared, though a bit rare for my taste. It was a healthy serving of beef with 2 well-​cooked pieces of bacon. The BBQ sauce and and cheddar cheese combined for some very nice flavor for this burger.
My guest had the Pad Thai and said it was pretty good, but not fantastic; certainly not as good as an authentic Thai Restaurant.
Scotty Browns is always a good place to go, the food is not he best, but it is good for a fun night out.
