Dirty Dan Harris' Steak and Seafood
Between the thick-cut steaks and fresh seafood yielded from the nearby bay and ocean, Dirty Dan Harris' is an example of Bellingham dining at its best. Located in the Fairhaven Historical District, the worn, dark bricks and low lighting give Dirty Dan Harris' quintessential steakhouse charm. Try the Manila Clams made from the locally harvested Samish Bay clams or any one of the fresh seafood selections. If you're hankering for a steak but don't want to miss out on the renowned seafood from local waters, Grilled Wild Sea Scallops can be added to any entrée.

Black Forest Steak House
Founder of Black Forest Steak House Jack Niemann is quoted as saying, "My culinary art is wasted on those who salt before they have tasted." Niemann takes his steak seriously and expects the same from those who run his restaurant in his stead as well as his customers. "Well-done" is described in-house as "Completely over cooked, with most of the flavor, texture and weight destroyed," so know before you decide to order that this establishment is devoted to the quality of its steaks. The Carpet Bag is a local favorite and offers customers a New York Strip Loin stuffed with fresh crab meat and topped with a rich sauce Bearnaise.
