The Whistling Post - Skykomish

Went here a couple of times over the weekend. My thoughts: Pros: Cold beers at non-exorbitant prices, cool atmosphere, and it was the only place open on Sunday afternoon Cons: 1 Being the only place open on Sunday afternoon and being a fryer-orientated food operation, their fryer was slammed ? and it took multiple beers to get my order of fish and wangs Operationality, it seemed like they were cooking to order instead of frying multiple orders at once. There didn't seem to be a lot of tickets. Granted, there were only two people working, a bartender and fryer/multitasker. I'm pretty sure I spent over two hours waiting for my food on Sunday. Saturday, it didn't take too long to get my sandwich, but that was around 9pm. Food thoughts: The jojos and tartar sauce are indeed good. The fish was a white fish tilapia I'm guessing in a thicker shell that was new to me. As delivered, they are poofy with a good amount of air between the fish and batter. Better than my local fish and chips by far, despite being Tilapia most likely. Chicken: I ordered the 5-piece buffalo wings for $8. I got 4 drums and a flat, so actually 2.5 whole wings for $8. They were fine, celery was weak, a pretty bad value by the numbers. However, if you want wings and are in Skykomish, it's may be the best thing ever. Chicken sandwich: I believe I enjoyed this sandwich. However, it was cooked in the way where it had a stringy rind. I'd done this myself when cooking chicken. 9/5 UPDATE Man the jojo potatoes are tasty. They are pressure-cooked to an consistent creamy texture, with an extra crispy skin. Best part is, they reheat amazingly in the air fryer. I tried the oysters and they were a thing. I'm not sure what the best value play is at the moment but the jojos are fantastic, side sauces good, beer cold. Look forward to coming back! Gets five stars now.

Good place to get a drink and some bar food. Good service and nice people.

Quirky little spot in a stamp city. Friendly owners, cozy atmosphere and good food! Half the chicken was super delicious! The fish sandwich was really good, although it was a put together it itself somehow deal. The Jo-jos were a bit fried and wanted some seasons, but they were good with some ketchup and tartar. Also great beer selection! Would definitely come back to chill and get the chicken back!

Chill Vibe, Chill Local, beautiful place to catch a look at the history of the area while you eat. Interesting soap in the baths (neither had powder soap). Noded to the regulars as we left that feel cool cuz they nodded back.

Great old time tavern! Good beer (plus prices! And a really nice pig sandwich. Beautiful view of the back porch.
