Recommended by someone at a deli up the road, I had some pretty high hopes. I had the specialty hot open faced roast beef sandwich. It was like you might expect from a down home truck stop cafeteria, i.e. large and lathered with gravy and a side of mashed potatoes. For me the roast beef was a bit tough and not quite appealing. Maybe I was expecting more of a pot roast juicier consistency...
I think folks that ordered burgers were happier, but I couldn't resist ordering off the specialties side of the menu.
Blue Mountain Grill is a bit of a destination spot, but the food is worth the drive and, if you're lucky and The Sisters are out, the view is worth driving twice as far.
I first came here a few years ago after building a house just down the road apiece, and I try to make the 40 minute trip from Bellingham at least once a year, and more if i can help it.
The food is fresh and you can have a breakfast as good as anywhere in town or a burger or sandwich as good as the better spots for those as well. The Blue (Cheese) Mountain Burger is a favorite, and everything comes out hot and fast, without seeming rushed.
I know a few places around the county that treat you like a second-class citizen if you're a "townie", but this is not one of those places. Friendly people greet and help you, and seem to truly mean it when they ask you to come back.
