In 2026, The Hardware Store Restaurant continues to be a standout destination for both Vashon locals and visitors, as reflected in this glowing review of a recent experience:
A Vashon Island Gem: Exceptional Flavors and Hospitality
Following a quick work trip to the island, we popped into The Hardware Store Restaurant and were met with an absolutely delightful experience. While there was a brief wait before being greeted, the service, atmosphere, and quality of the meal from that point forward were top-tier.
The kitchen truly shines when it comes to seasoning and technique. We ordered the Mushroom Risotto special, which was easily one of the best I have ever had. Often, risotto can be bland, but this dish was perfectly flavored and achieved that ideal “gooey” consistency without needing a touch of extra salt. We also tried the Chicken Marsala; the cutlet was perfectly crunchy, the homemade spaghetti was served al dente, and the sauce was a genuine treat for the tastebuds.
A highlight of the visit was the unexpected hospitality. Though we had originally declined adding salmon to the risotto, the chef accidentally prepared it. Our server graciously offered it to us free of charge. Despite being very picky about fish, I found the salmon to be delicious, featuring a perfect blackened, crispy skin and incredibly flaky, flavorful meat.
The service throughout the meal felt like catching up with a best friend—warm, welcoming, and making us feel right at home among the locals. Between the cozy historic atmosphere and the impeccable food, I will definitely be back. In fact, I would consider making the trip to Vashon specifically just to dine here again.

A friend took us to The Hardware Store for breakfast while visiting from out of state. It was great! I had the child’s portion French Toast with Bacon and a side order of eggs over easy. The French Toast was think and crisp, the berries were fresh and sweet served real maple syrup! Everything was cooked perfectly and tasted wonderful! BUT the best thing about this place is the SERVICE! Our server was a young man who checked on us at just the right moment. When taking my order it was like he read my mind when asking about portion size. When I told him what I would be able to eat he told me what to order. AND he asked my how I like my bacon…I always forget to order it CRISPY and have to send it back but he asked !!!so I remembered to tell him crispy (I like it to stand up stiff)!!! If you have the chance, you have to try the Hardware Store!

The Hardware Store keeps getting better. The refreshed space and menu feel perfect—modern but still cozy in that classic Vashon way. Food was outstanding, hands down the best around. Every dish was spot-on, fresh, and full of flavor.
Rosie was our server and she was awesome—super friendly and on top of everything. Even got to say hi to the chef, which was a nice touch.
If you haven’t been in a while, go now. We’ll definitely be back soon.

My family and I stopped in Saturday around 1 after hearing good things.
I wanted to love it. We stood at the front for about 10 minutes without being acknowledged. During that time a male server walked by, made direct eye contact with me, then turned away and kept walking without saying anything. Several people came in behind us and eventually left because no one greeted them. A quick “Hi, we’ll be right with you” is a low bar to meet that makes all the difference.
While we were standing there it was already obvious the dining room was backed up. Multiple tables were sitting covered in dirty plates and glasses, not even pre-bussed. Once we were seated, those same tables stayed dirty around us until we were nearly finished eating. The staff working seemed totally nice but clearly overwhelmed. My partner ordered a beverage and the server brought the wrong one. He did get the right one, but thought his lack of familiarity with menu options was odd.
Meanwhile the manager was standing at the expo line plating food while facing the dining room the entire time. From there he could see guests waiting to be greeted and tables piling up, but the floor wasn’t being run.
The food was fine. But a black bean burger, a bowl of clam chowder, and two kids’ grilled cheeses with no alcohol somehow came out to over $100. The experience was not worth it, unfortunately.
The place is cute and has potential. It just needs someone actively managing the dining room. You are leaving money on the table in more ways than one by understaffing.

I came in a few minutes after they opened and I was greeted with smiles! My server, Lillian, was very nice and the fish & chips were probably some of the best I’ve ever had (super crunchy and the slaw is yummy!). Will definitely be visiting here again when I pop back over to the island next time.

This place totally exceeded my expectations! Who knew there was an amazing craft cocktail bar hidden in a diner on Vashon Island? Great food and great service. Highly recommend having a long lunch at the Hardware Store.

We stopped by The Hardware Store for a quick breakfast while in the area, and it was a great choice. We ordered the Vashon Breakfast, and it was tasty — hearty, well-cooked, and hit the spot without being too heavy.
The restaurant has a cozy, charming vibe with a unique atmosphere, blending the feel of a historic space with a modern touch. Service was friendly and quick, making it perfect for a casual morning meal. Would definitely stop by again next time we’re on the island!

Hardware Store Restaurant is a fantastic stop for a delicious, deeply satisfying meal that leans into pure comfort food in the best way. We grabbed a high-top in the bar area by the window, which was perfect for people-watching, since the restaurant sits right on the corner of the main downtown intersection with plenty to take in while you eat. I ordered the Fishwich with Old Bay fries, plus a cup of clam chowder and an unsweetened iced tea, and it was just about a perfect meal for the moment. Everything hit exactly right.
Service was friendly and attentive, even though the place was clearly busy. The only small note is that the staff seemed a bit stretched for how busy it was; still, they delivered a great experience. I will absolutely be back.

honestly we were a bit underwhelmed by the food. Liked the amount of GF options – Had a very long wait for food (actually took turns going across the way to window shop to kill time). Then when food was done we waiting another 5 minutes for one enteee. Before ordering , Asked if veggie burger was homemade- staff asked kitchen and was told yes – however i’m fairly certain it was the black bean burger from costco – only reason for disappointment was the crazy price for burger -28! gf fish and chips decent , the lax and latkes were tasty.
