Shari's Cafe and Pies 3904 Meridian Street, Bellingham, WA 98225

"ordered over easy eggs and when i cut into them the completely uncooked whites bled all over the plate. server insisted they were cooked properly and when i asked for new eggs without a side of salmonella i got past over medium eggs that were brown from being burnt on the bottom. as someone who used to work as a cook at this establishment i find that the cooks are putting in low effort to produce quality food, and its always something when i go to this location. also for some reason they don’t carry the kraft kids mac and cheese at this location only, which is very disappointing."

"We used to come here all the time because it was affordable and friendly. I could not say either of those are still true. The food is mediocre for what you pay for it. The pies are alright. Some are better than others. The service is what prevents me from going in the future. There’s a couple servers who are very friendly and great but overall the atmosphere in this place is terrible. There’s never any music playing so it’s weird and quiet. Even with only a couple other guests dining in, it takes several minutes for someone to even acknowledge you when you walk in the door and you generally feel like they don’t want you there. I’m surprised this place is still even in business at this point. I understand being frustrated when you’re busy, short staffed and another person walks in, but this was a Friday night and there were only 2 other tables occupied in the entire restaurant. You’re better off going somewhere else for pretty much anything off their menu."

"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."

"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 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."
