Going out to eat and drink is always a smart idea after exploring Snohomish’s finest attractions. At least, that’s what our team at Eagle Vents Cleaning does after work. Whereas Everett, where our Dryer Vent and Air Duct Cleaning Service is located, has some lovely places to visit, we like to visit the neighboring town of Snohomish and sample some local delicacies.
If you are visiting this area, here are 6 restaurants that we recommend.
Maltby Cafe
When Snohomish locals are in the mood for authentic home cuisine or an all-day fantastic breakfast, they visit the Maltby Cafe. Located in Snohomish’s Maltby area, this cozy, rustic, and roomy restaurant is housed in a former gymnasium that was constructed in 1937 for the nearby 1907 school. The menu is extensive, the quantities are vast, and everything is cooked from scratch using the highest-quality ingredients. Try their 1/2 pound chopped Angus beef burger with pickles, tomato, onion, and lettuce served on their distinctive Maltby bread, along with freshly cut French fries, if their extensive breakfast menu isn’t enough for you. Save room for their renowned walnut-cinnamon roll. We, at Eagle Vents Cleaning really enjoyed it.
Trails End Taphouse & Restaurant
When Trails End Taphouse & Restaurant first opened its doors in March 2011, it was known as Snohomish Beer & Wine, a local business that sold craft beer to Snohomish residents and provided wine and beer to the wedding industry. It is a bustling, well-liked watering hole and tavern with a comprehensive menu that focuses on freshly cooked comfort cuisine made in-house with fresh ingredients. It now has 28 taps and more than 100 varieties of bottled beer from all over the world. The room is spacious, rustic, simple, and filled with repurposed wood. Outside, there is a wonderful porch. The venue is nearly always crowded, so while you wait for a table, taste the beers at the bar or create your own wine flight by selecting any wine from the wine list. Although there is something for everyone on the menu, start with their renowned Loaded Chips, which are handcrafted Yukon Gold potato chips covered with cheddar cheese, bacon, chives, and ranch dressing.
Collector's Choice Restaurant
The popularity of Collector’s Choice in Snohomish can be attributed to a number of factors. The setting is quite attractive and homey with two fireplaces, wood-grained flooring, exposed brick walls, and the historical images on the walls, making it ideal for work lunches, family meals, or a romantic evening for two. For breakfast, clam chowder, fresh wild seafood, pastas, and salads are offered; for lunch and dinner, Angus beef, Dungeness crab small plates, and other house-made delicacies are offered. The menu is extensive and offers typical American comfort cuisine for all three meals. In the lounge, there is a full-service bar and often live entertainment.
Fred's Rivertown Alehouse
In the center of Snohomish’s historic downtown, surrounded by antique stores and old residences, sits Fred’s Rivertown Alehouse. Since it first opened, Fred’s has established a reputation as one of the best breweries in the nation. The establishment is often crowded because of its comfortable, unpretentious décor, 32 craft and European beers on draft, excellent wine list, vast, varied food menu, and one of the nation’s largest choices of single malt scotch. Fred’s is the ideal place to go for a cold beer, a slice of comforting porter meatloaf, a fantastic burger, a slice of pizza, or a fresh salad after a morning of antique shopping, a popular activity among tourists in Snohomish. Be prepared for delightful Christmas surprises. There will be Shepherd’s Pie, Lamb Stew, and Corned Beef & Cabbage on the St. Patrick’s Day menu. You may eat Gator-on-a-Stick and Shrimp Etouffee on Fat Tuesday. There will be traditional Mexican food on May 5.
