Envy Bar and Grill — Restaurant in Poulsbo

GREAT JOB ENVY!!! An East Coast import, my husband and I were looking for a place to play pool. A Poulsbo native recommendation led us to Envy. Sunday evening (3/24), Bingo in full session in large dining area (I wish I came earlier to get in on that). The bar had a few separate high tables and obviously seating at the bar. • The pool tables were a gorgeous blue with good condition felt. The cuesticks were the best I have ever seen for a bar. I am 46 and have played a lot of pool since the 90s. • We only got fries, but it probably only took 10 minutes tops because we had just racked, broke, and taken 1 shot at pool. Piping hot, perfect crispy outside, soft (not undercooked) inside, and plentiful! You get your money's worth, and your doctor would approve if you need to limit salt intake. You can always add yourself. • The service was fast and friendly. Only saw 2 females at front (there could have been more) but for having the bingo going, plus tending to bar, I say these ladies need a cape. We didn’t wait for than 3 minutes to get first drinks and order. The bartender delivered fries herself (I felt bad because I would have grabbed them since she was busy). • Patrons were diverse, and the vibe was perfect.

Overall, my husband and I will most likely become "regulars" once we are settled in Bainbridge. And I plan to...

First time experience was on Father’s Day. They were understaffed for the amount of people wanting breakfast. They tried to keep up and when a second server came in, it was functioning much better.

Our food was really good! Portions were big, but not obscene. The eggs Benedict had great sauce; although the eggs were a tad over cooked. (We prefer over cooked eggs rather than undercooked.)

They also have a kids menu. My kiddo devoured the French toast and bacon.

Update: We visited again and all our food came out at different times. My son was served. 5 minutes later, my husband got his food. 10 minutes after that, I got mine. The English muffin in my eggs Benedict was so old or oddly cooked that I couldn’t cut it with a knife or chew it...

I was in the mood for a boatload of fries today, and based on other positive reviews, this seemed like the place to be. Walked into the grill side, lots of people there, smelled good, but there was a sign that said "please wait to be seated" so I waited. After several awkward minutes I approached the bar, still looking for service. I made eye contact with a cook inside the kitchen, but he was understandably busy doing his job; no one else looked my way, spoke to me or otherwise acknowledged my existence. Guess now I know what it's like to be invisible. I decided I could find a boatload of fries somewhere else and left. I don't think there's much point in...
