Dutch Treat Restaurant

Hello all. I have been here a few times and would give these folks a five star rating but then they may be likely to rest on their haunches and just enjoy the view from the top and get complacent. I want them to keep doing what they do; to maintain a friendly, local, family oriented atmosphere where everyone feels comfortable. I am way comfortable there, but haven’t earned the right of passage of serving my own coffee when I walk in the door, yet. My time is coming.
This place reminds me of Ovenell’s Drive In. Any Stanwoodite would know what I mean. Old fashioned milkshakes (AND malts; my personal weakness!), healthy breakfasts and lunch burgers stuffed with all manners of the good stuff. Check out their clam chowder. If you are in the area, do yourself a favor and give them a go. You know what to do…

Don’t let the restaurant name fool you. This is just an average diner with run-​of-​the-​mill, American menu items like burgers & shakes for lunch or eggs, bacon and pancakes for breakfast.
My BLT was prepared and served with care, and honestly reminded me of something my mom would make at home. However, with a name like Dutch Treat, I was really hoping for something unique on the menu that you might find in the Netherlands. Unfortunately that was not the case. The only «treat» was not having to cook and clean up after myself.
This is a place where the locals gather to chat over a cup of coffee. If you want to hear the local gossip and get a decent, square meal, this average-​joe diner will do the trick.

Great burgers and shakes. Nothing fancy, just classic diner burgers. Breakfast is awesome too!

Great Dutch-​Style food and treats! New selection of soups each day really keeps things fresh! Little on the small side, and once there was fruit flies in my lemonade, but besides that, everything is perfect. Would definitely recommend to anybody visiting or living in Lynden!

Great local place. Good food at a great price. Will be back.
