We had dinner two nights in a row as we have one pickey eater for a child and all the pizza places around town, looked worse than this one. Typical bar food - The first night the food was much better than the second, thus the average rating. The seafood platter was done very well, The chicken ceaser the first... More

What can I say. The food is not very fresh tasting. They have no locally grown product selection and the burgers have too much filler and the fries taste like reheats. We have been in many times over the years and this was the last time we ate here. The pool game and drinks are a much better bet here.

This restaurant has it all - nice people and a great menu selection. We were disappointed only that we didn't go there sooner!

This place was disappointing from about every angle, except the service. The service was quite good. The food was so-so, the drinks were WAY expensive and not that great, and there was a really foul odor. If no place else is open, then go ahead, but otherwise, pass by and eat/drink elsewhere.

Burgers are the best in town & Love the Crab Tater Tots! Bar scene is nice, clean & great for casual get togethers. They do not do live music or dancing etc.

Great place in town for a family meal! It's a sports bar and grill but that area is separate from the dining area which is filled with fun fishing pictures and some sports channels on big screens.

This is a fun place to go eat and 'watch the game' or visit with friends. There are two sections, one geared more for families with children, but both with large tv's for watching sports. The food is good, satisfying and the service is quick. I have never been disappointed, and try their sweet potato fries. They are served with... More

When my husband and I landed on San Juan we were looking for a quick bite and our taxi driver recommended Haley's. She said "try their burgers--they're the best!" Out of character for us to go for a bacon burger but what the heck we're on vacation right? We both ordered the Cheeseburger with jalapeno bacon. It was hands-down one... More

Decent food, great service, screens set to all the key sports. This is a large restaurant with "non-sport" dining up front and bar stools and tables in the bar area with the screens. Kids welcome during the day. A real find!

After our flight from Seattle to Friday Harbor, my wife and I were starving. We asked our cab driver for a recommendation. He dutifully named off several local restaurants, but what interested me was his statement, "best burger in Friday Harbor" when he mentioned Haley's. We asked to be dropped off at the front door, and we were greeted by... More
