Busy place after the boat came in with attentive staff. Two of us shared the vegetarian omelette and found it loaded with veggies, including fresh spinach. The hash browns were crispy and delicious, not dry, and did not exude that horrible grill spray that often comes with diner hash browns. Will go back.

It was not on the menu, but made by my request, absolutely delisiouse vegan breakfast. Hashabrowns with sauteed peppers, onios and mushrooms, served alone with bowl of perfectly cooked black beans and fresh salsa. Soy latter was perfect and I got extra cup to go with no charge!!! Came back next morning, was great again. Personel works hard. Food fresh and prepared with love. Best place in town for breakfast! Thank you!!

The ONLY place we go for breakfast. Over the years we have tried many places but we keep coming back here. Sometimes there is a line but worth the wait! Love the food, staff is nice, and we always have a great breakfast. We have yet to make it for lunch, but maybe next year!

After being ignored by the Blue Water bar staff, we decided to try Rocky Bay Cafe and it was wonderful! Super friendly staff who didn't hesitate to get us seated and fed promptly. Great food too! Will definitely be back!

Everything I've had there is excellent. Breakfast burrito was great. Omelettes are delicious. Cinnamon rolls are great - split one four ways so I didn't feel guilty about eating it! Always busy but worth the wait.

Showed up at opening at 7 AM. The hash was amazing and the bacon was perfect. Ideal breakfast stop before the 8:05AM ferry.

Delicious! I had the eggs Benedict with a cappuccino and my husband had the pancakes. Great atmosphere and our waitress was super friendly as was, another gentleman who came around to the tables. Very filling and just what we needed on our day of adventure!

The food overall was good. The French Toast was kinda small in size. The omelet and chocolate chip pancakes were very good. The server was okay, had some attitude, and wasn't very attentive to our requests. You can tell she was overwhelmed. Had some noisy teenagers sitting behind us for most of the time we were there.

You want good food or do you want food fast. Good food takes a minute and that is what Ricky Bay serves. Expect to wait for a table (get on the wait list) but you'll not be disappointed. We ate here on our first visit to Friday Harbor in June and now again on our second visit. Good Lord willing we'll be back. Breakfast sandwich and classic breakfast pictured. Delicious!

I stopped by Friday for brunch while I was waiting for my sister’s ferry to get in. The food was great, service was friendly and loved the atmosphere. We ended up going back everyday for brunch the rest of the weekend. Yes, we had to wait awhile but it was worth the wait! We just put our names on the list and went to enjoy the market and some shopping in the meantime. Once seated, they were busy but the food and service was still wonderful. If you like Eggs Benny as much as I do this is your place! To those who have written the few negative reviews, you obviously have never worked in customer service or a restaurant before. Be patient, be kind and get over yourself. They work hard, their food quality and smiles under pressure shows it. Will definitely visit again next time I am in town!

Grabbed a BLT w fries, ranch & coffee for quick brunch, while waiting for work appointment…. Was able to get the last open table; they were busy. Surprised food came fast (due to other reviews), waitress was friendly, sandwich was good w/ plenty of bacon (but not bacon heavy). Just under $14+tip; a little higher than I would have expected, but semi-reasonable. Small cafe vibe. Pretty good menu variety. Sorry, forgot to take a pic, before taking a bite, LOL.

We had the Cali eggs benedict, French toast and a veggie omelet with a biscuit. Went back a second time on our trip because the food was so good. Highlights were the hollandaise sauce on the eggs benedict, the house potatoes and the biscuit.

Tried this spot out for breakfast, after being greatly disappointed with other food options on the island. This place did not disappoint. We came back for breakfast the remainder of our stay. Server, Lilly, was so helpful, pleasant, and went out of her way to make you feel welcome and taken care of. Good breakfast options. Will definitely be back on our next trip. Worth checking out!

This place is not only the best place to eat breakfast/brunch, during weekdays it's the only place to eat breakfast/brunch. It seems everywhere else either doesn't serve breakfast or doesn't serve breakfast except for weekends. So with that, expect a line out the door and down the block. Get there early and get your name on the list, they will call you when your table is ready so feel free to look at gift shops or grab a cup of coffee from a coffee stand. When seated we got our drinks right away, a few minutes to look at the menu and a reasonable time to get your food. While we were waiting for our food to come and even during our meal, the server came by to refill our coffee cups and bring more cream. The chicken fried steak was crispy and delicious, the sausage gravy was brownish rather than white/gray (like me mother used to make), but tasted great. The blueberry pancakes were light and fluffy (my wife says very blueberry and delicious). The drip coffee was fresh roasted by a local roaster and was rich and flavorful,they do have espresso, but we just wanted a cup of joe. The service was excellent and friendly for such a busy place and the server even came by twice to ask how our meal was (he forgot that he asked the first time, but that is all he forgot in the service department, not a bad thing at all). In all it was a great dining experience within walking distance of the wonderful Friday harbor marina.

We were only on the island for two mornings and after our first breakfast at Rocky's we had to return! Service is fast and friendly and to the point, the food will have you coming back again and again! I had the Classic breakfast the first morning and it was spot on. Eggs cooked perfect, toast crispy and hot and with plenty of butter and bacon that was to die for. Hubby had the chicken fried steak and loved it! Not the typical frozen patty, a real meat patty and delicious gravy with perfectly cooked eggs. Next day hubby had the corned beef benedict and I had the crispy chicken wrap. Both were excellent! Hubby always needs extra hollandaise but not this time, it was perfectly sauced! The crispy chicken wrap is loaded with chicken and bacon, I mean loaded!! Oh, and the shoestring fries are addicting, be fair warned!! Highly recommend and will definitely be back!

Food is great! Wait time is long so try ro be here early if you don't want ro wait to long....one of the best places to have breakfast in Friday Har 🍽 they have different breakfast options I ordered the scramble eggs with chorizo and it was pretty good. 👤 Service is kinda slow but good 🚻 they have 1 bathroom inside 🅿️ they have no parking so you need to park on the street

Great service! Coffee was good. I had breakfast. Pork chop was not cooked. French toast was not cooked. Hash brown and eggs were good. Short staff but fast service. Food was not good but service and location were fantastic. Morning was not crowding but I saw a long line for brunch.

Food was great! It was a long wait but it’s okay. The place seems to be busy all day so it’s understandable! The server was really nice in spite of the situation. We ordered the California eggs Benedict and chicken fried steak 😗🤌🏼the coffee was great too! I forgot to ask what kind of coffee they serve but we both loved it. Thanks 😊
