    Honestly, I have ordered the same meal at every Shari's at probably 20+ locations. THIS IS THE ONLY LOCATION WHERE THE MEAL LOOKS LIKE WHAT IS ON THE MENU!! The cooks deserve some real recognition for this. The cooks that are here are the unsung heros that really do the menu AND Shari's real justice. Never have i been to a Shari's where I have been blown away be the presentation. Sure, its nothing fancy. But what it is, is quality that is to be expected. The servers do a great job as well. They are very nice and keel the coffee coming. But for this review, I feel that its the cooks that really made the difference for this location. Thank you.

    Open 24 hours, a typical American style cafe, originated from Oregon. Staff are very accommodating & welcoming. You get a warm greeting from the staff. Menu is extensive with lots of breakfast item, they have their specials too. Apparently they are known for their pie but we didn't try them. I ordered one of the special, honey style pork chop with eggs & hash browns, a breakfast sampler plate, sirloin steak & eggs. Hash browns were cooked well with crisp top. Eggs & steak are done right according to your preference. Pancakes were fluffy & they have sugar free syrup if you asked. Their French toast were very good, they used Texas style bread, very well done. All in all a very enjoyable meal with friendly staff.

    Food was aweful! The guy recommended lemon chicken instead of the steak. I got to my hotel opened it up. It was just terrible bland no flavor. Small. They were close to closing so they probably didn’t care. I gave him a tip too. Always open it up when getting it to go. Waist of money.

    My husband and I went to Shari's for dinner a few weeks back in Bellingham, Washington. We were greeted with a friendly smile and a big variety of pies in their display case at the reception area. We were promptly seated at a booth without any delay. The menu was big, colorful with many pictures and easy to read. We were so glad they had all day breakfast as we didn't feel like anything in particular so we decided on breakfast for dinner. The Farmer's Breakfast was a great choice. It came with eggs, hashbrowns, bacon or sausage, pancakes or french toast. I chose their bacon stuffed hashbrowns and it was absolutely delicious. I was pleasantly surprised at how fresh and tasty everything tasted, especially the hashbrowns as it was my first time trying it. We also ordered a full pecan pie to take home. The pie was big, fresh and delicious with big chunks of pecans. The service was excellent and the waitress refilled our coffee several times without us having to ask. Prices have gone up since the pandemic but the quality remains the same. Prices are still reasonable for a good meal, especially if you are on a tight budget. The dining area is a bit old but clean except the women's washroom was dirty, which is a pet peeve of mine. Overall we enjoyed visiting Shari's and will go back for their stuffed hashbrowns, it was my favorite item in their menu.

    I think our first visit to a Shari's Restaurant, and we were truly impressed with the quality of food. The restaurant was clean and inviting, service was good, and prices even during inflation were very competitive. We didn't have room left for dessert, but the selection of pies in the cooler looked very delicious. We were really happy that they stay open very late! No doubt, our new favorite for the month!

    The hosts are super friendly and helpful. Jamie is not only nice to my family, but also proactively offer extra service to us. There was a piece of pie we would like to take out. She offered a bucket of ice to us for cooling the pie, for the upcoming an hour driving. Highly appreciated of her help and the super friendly attitude. We highly recommend this restaurant, at this particular location, to our friends. Especially to enjoy the free pie in the afternoon of Wednesday. The pies are great. Pie milkshake is amazing as well.

    Wonderful customer service! Our server, Jamie was amazing and on top of everything. The drinks were great and the food was delicious! Upon coming into the restaurant, the hostess, Kat, was wonderful and friendly. She was working hard clearing tables and seating people with a smile on her face. 10/10 would recommend this location!

    Shari’s is where I pick up pie’s for dessert to serve at family gatherings. I have only eaten off the menu twice ever! This Father’s Day my dad choose our local Shari’s as his restaurant of choice for his special day. I was wonderfully surprised at how good the food tasted and was presented. The staff went above and beyond in service. Good food and friendly banter makes this place a winner!

    I was there recently, and was greeted by host Sharon. She was very friendly and professional. It's been a long time since I met someone like that in a restaurant. My server was Cara (according to Sharon), and she was also very pleasant and professional. The menu was nice and my dish was great. The menu shows the calories for each dish. And the hexagonal building lets in a lot of light, which makes for a nice dining experience as well. I hope to return asap.

    It's been at least more than 8 years, when we frequent this is the place before driving back to Canada. Last night we had dinner and take out for my son but I don't think the food is not what we remember. I give it 3 stars since service is still fantastic. People are nice and pleasant unfortunately the food quality declined.

    Good atmosphere. Went in fir coffee and pie...great variety of different types of pie! We each had something different and all three were good! Peanut butter cream pie, pumpkin and a berry (can't recall name but Oregons berry). Servers were EXCELLENT!

    The servers were kind, the tables clean, and the chefs did a great job (a perfect medium steak). This is not about them. The week leading up to lunch, we called several times letting them know when we would be attending and that we would have a large group consisting of people with special needs and wheelchairs. Each time we were told they do not accept reservations. Upon arrival, they pushed several tables together - and then after we were seated, the manager was ableist to us, very loudly disparaging us for taking up four tables and needing extra room for both manual and power wheelchairs. He then said, again very loudly, that next time we need to call in advance - despite us calling in advance over the past week to let them know of our group size, time of arrival, and that most of us would be in wheelchairs, only to be told they don't accept reservations. There was very little space for wheelchairs and the doors were not accessible. Some of our group felt so unwelcome and embarrassed they couldn't eat due to his behaviour.

    Came here for a birthday breakfast a couple weeks ago. The food was just fine, and I did enjoy the French toast I ordered, but I was surprised to hear one of the servers talking a bit rudely to other servers that were newer/being trained. I understand it's a stressful job, times are tough and staffing is scarce, but it never hurts to be kind to those you're working with. The server wasn't rude to us directly, but hearing the harsh interactions between them and the other servers made for a bit of an awkward experience. Overall it was alright and I'd recommend the food if the classic taste is what you're after.

    My favorite dish is the Meat lover skillet. It is a well sized portion. The food and the service are good. Honestly, I had never tried the pie, but they look good.

    This was a welcome treat. After spending the afternoon walking around, we needed somewhere to sit and relax. This was it! The service was lovely! Very attentive and answered our questions. Food was delicious. My daughter had a piece of Dutch Apple Pie at the end and was very happy. It was such a crazy day that we forgot to take pictures. If you need a place of refuge after a workout at the mall, lol, this is it.

    Came in for breakfast got the chicken fried steak, hash browns and toast. The jam was excellent on the toast, the hash browns weren't Brown enough for me. The server didn't come back and check in with me. I was a waitress for almost 20 years that's one of my biggest pet peeves is when they don't check back to see if you need anything or like something. I waved her over and asked for new hash browns, browner, crispy ones, so she kindly brought me some more but they tasted like maple syrup and I couldn't eat it. Much disappoint. Oh and the scrambled eggs were gross. Crispy on the edges and eggs not beaten very well. Sorry for the mediocre review but that was my experience.

    It's what you would expect from a long standing family diner. Breakfast is good, they have a small selection of senior meals. It's a great place to meet up with old friends and talk a lot and eat !
