The "new owners" - Amy, Laura, Mike and Shannon - took over Big Lake Bar & Grill in 2017. This location has been a restaurant or bar under various names since State Route 9 was trafficked by horse-drawn carriages and sawmills dotted the Skagit County map by the hundreds. Many of the locals refer to Big Lake simply as "the tavern," having known the place through various names and owners. We see ourselves simply as the current stewards of this special joint wedged between a beautiful big lake and forest-covered mountains.
Our mission has been to revitalize the place while respecting its long and varied history. To that end, we've put in classic vinyl booths, clad the walls in cedar and pine, decorated with logging, fishing and hunting paraphernalia, and generally tried to evoke a vintage comfort one might have discovered here in eras past. We make every effort to bring you clean, simple food with a smile at a reasonable price while also paying our employees more than most restaurants in Skagit County. Because if we can't take care of our people, how can they take care of you?
Cheers!
Amy, Laura, Mike and Shannon
