I just realized I never did a formal review of Annie's for Olyblog, so here goes. BTW, I think it may be possible to get a vegetarian item or two, but if you are not interesting in reading about meat please stop here and go elsewhere.

That said...

I'm not sure where to start so I will start with breakfast which is available on the weekends only, 9am to 11ish... Lots of traditional breakfast foods. My favorite is the Annie's Standard. Eggs, home fries, choice of ham, sausage or bacon and toast. Sometimes if I feel extra hungry I'll add two pancakes to that. Beware the pancakes! They are large enough to feed a third world country. Twice. Also available are biscuits and gravy, chicken fried steak, etc... I don't have a menu with me so I am doing this off the top of my head. It's worth coming in for breakfast sometime and watching the fog over Budd Inlet.

Lunch. The chowder is good, not my favorite but I eat a bowl now and then. Various seafood dishes are available, check with your server. They have several sandwiches. BLT, Turkey Rueben, Prime Rib (yummy!) and the San Francisco Grill come to mind. The SF Grill is ham, and turkey on sourdough with melted mozzerella cheese and tomato sprinkled with basil, includes fries which are very tasty.

Burgers! Lots of tasty burgers served up on a fluffy Wagner's bun. From the enormous (feeds 5) Barge Burger to the regular hamburger there is something for everyone, including fish and chicken. I like the bacon cheeseburger or if I am really hungry the Tugboat Burger which is a bacon cheeseburger with a fried egg and a slice of ham added. Mmmm mmmmm artery clogging good! You can double the meat and cheese on any burger for another $2. All burgers come with steak fries or onion rings.

Happy Hour! WooHoo!!! 3-6 on weekdays. Half price appetizers and discount drinks. What not to love? The Loaded Nachos or a nice quesedilla are my choices usually with white meat chicken. Calamari rings and several other nice munchies are also available.

One can get baskets with chicken strips, halibut or clam strips. Try them all.

Dinner

Several steak and fish options available. The surf and turf is a steak and prawns with starch and a vegetable.

Salads include chicken or shrimp.

Nice bar with a wide selection of hard stuff and beer, including a rotating seasonal.

There is all sorts of live entertainment, tableside magic, Irish music, karaoke, live band on Tuesday, etc... I've been coming here (okay I live at the dang marina) for over a year and still love the place! Oh yeah, they have free wi-fi and some of the nicest waitstaff and bartenders you will find in town! Lot's of seating and a balcony for the two days out of the year when the weather is nice!

Visit their website.

Oh yeah! Don't forget the kayak rentals!

You can eat here for as little as $10-12 for a nice sandwich or basket and a soda. If you show up with $20 you can have a nice meal and a drink or two plus leave a tip.

Annie's is nice...

 

...I used to play there quite a bit.
The tableside magicians have a DVD they sell called "Friend Foolers", which teaches you how to do something like 7 card tricks and 3 coins tricks. It's really good!
What are the different music nights? Isn't it something like Irish on Tuesday, Open Mic on Wednesday...
Do they still have music on the weekends?

Live music on

 Tuesday Irish on Wednesday, magic on Thursday (except tonight they are having a band) sometimes events on Friday and the weekend.  Check the website.

It's great going to Annie's

It's great going to Annie's via boat and tying up at the dock, gettin' a burger and a couple of brews, then cruise on back to Cooper Point. Nice summertime thing to do. :)

Mmmm.

The Tugboat Burger is something my uncle used to cook up for us on our weekend gunk-holing adventures in the South Sound. I want one right now!
