Accomplice — Restaurant in Bellingham

Food wasn’t bad. The honey fried chicken sandwich was ok. It was pretty bland tasting too be honest. The fries were frustratingly skinny and hard to dip in the sauce which is kind of annoying when you’re super hungry and could use some cutlery. Shallot mayo was really good though and the staff were friendly. There is definitely room for improvement especially with the atmosphere which just felt really unsettling and quite unpleasant with the harsh cold lighting and mannequins wearing ski masks which is definitely unique but not really conducive to a chill vibe at all. The lighting was super harsh, especially at night; and would otherwise be fine, but really reveals how dirty the restaurant is and has an unpolished feel which doesn’t create a very warm and welcoming vibe. The tables had crumbs all over them and there were dirty marks all on the walls and the door and could use a new paint job and definitely some cleaning. Noone was actively cleaning the tables when patrons left available tables and felt a bit gross as there weren’t many tables available. It makes it awkward to ask too. The bathroom wasn’t available either so you had to go next door. There’s a tipping option and you pick up your own order with a buzzer thingy. I don’t really get the point of tipping when it’s basically a fast food joint and you do everything yourself. The kind of intense music which makes for a bit of a stressful dining experience too tbh, especially with the decor it just feels really unsettling and I have no desire to go back. Maybe if the place was cleaner and a more polished feel it would’ve been different and I’d...

Every time you order you get a different portion but its the same price. The menu is confusing. You cant tell what they are selling. The people at the counter taking orders dont even seem to know what they are supposed to be making. Frying everything in the bone grease makes all of the food way too salty. You taste nothing else but the bone grease. You have to get extea sauce on the side because they barely dress the burgers with anything. But even that ranch and mayo is made with the bone grease stuff and that is salty. It doesnt seem like the people working there even eat the food or care about the menu. And while I was sitting in there several people kept asking what was the concept of the yellow robbery guy things. I dont get it either and I dont want to feel like I'm about to be robbed or attacked while eating food. The area the shop is in is already going downhill with all the homeless drug mental people and playing off that is not helping people feel comfortable eating here. If they stop frying everything in that bone grease stuff, give consistent portions, dress the burgers, stop making the mayos and ranch with the bone grease, fix the menu with clear pics and descriptions of what people are ordering and change the you're going to grt assaulted and robbed decor, then maybe...

Overpriced. I’ll start by saying that the staff was very friendly which was awesome. The downside is that this place is just very overpriced for what you get. I got their special which was a fried chicken Caesar sandwich, which I think was $14 and the sandwich looked absolutely nothing like the advertised picture. It was a chicken sandwich that had one chicken tender that took up about 60% of the bun, pretty disappointing. I also got a side of ranch for $1 which came in a 2oz ramekin that was half full. Also I got their Cajun fries which is a dollar extra than their regular fries but all they do is put Cajun seasoning in them… they charge an extra dollar for Cajun seasoning. I want to love this place and I’ve come here multiple times within the past two years but my last visit left me very disappointed. I spent over $20 for a meal that looked like it should’ve costed $14 at most. That being said the staff was great and the food was alright, just definitely not the same sandwich I saw in the picture on the wall. Also it’s a classic order at the counter, run your own food, and bus your own table restaurant but they expect a tip. Hopefully the next time I go back my experience is different and leaving me wanting to...
