Our lunch was so good we went back the next day for dinner. We had the calamari both days, one of the best calamari dishes I've ever had, and I order a lot of calamari. I had the cod fish and chips the first day and the honey crisp salad with blue cheese the next night. My mom had their crab melt for lunch and a fish salad for dinner, both meat, both delicious. Super friendly staff and great views.

White Horse is a solid dining option on the island. Our server was super friendly and helpful, and the overall atmosphere was very chill when we went in. Our drinks came out quick and were delicious, my Mango Tango Mule was well made. The food is great as well, it also arrived quick and was a perfect portion size for the price. The shepherds pie especially was very good. Music wasn't too loud to enjoy conversation, the place is interestingly decorated and has a very welcoming vibe overall. Definitely recommend for anyone visiting the San Juans!

What a view! The food was solid Irish pub fare (we had the fish and chips and a salad) and the Guinness was poured to perfection. I sadly have forgotten our bartenders name, but he had a great sense of humor and made us feel welcome straight away. We also had fun playing the games set out by the bar near the window. A great way to kick off our trip to Orcas Island

You need to eat at The White Horse pub. Yes. If you are going to Orcas Island, you need to stop here for a meal or a drink. June 2025, on the island 3 nights, so far 2 meals at the White Horse. Chicken pot pie, fish and chips, Irish stew, bacon cheeseburger, fries, onion rings, salad. Could not have asked for better. Two different waiters. Both raised the bar on my standards. One more day on Orcas. One more meal at the White Horse. Did I mention the view?

Such a fun place with good food! We got the calamari, I got the crab melt, clam chowder and husband got the chicken pot pie. All the food was very delicious! I really loved the calamari! My husband also got the cream soda and loved it! Our server was super friendly - he called everyone “friend” and answered my silly questions about whales. It was a great experience and we even saw a sea lion! This place also accommodates larger groups! There was a group of 12 also in the restaurant. Not too loud!!

Came here for lunch with my dad and we shared the crab melt. It was delicious as was the Bloody Mary. The service was great as well. We will definitely be back again! Highly recommend.

We hosted my Mom's 80th birthday here at lunch on a Monday. It was fantastic! The food was excellent, service wonderful and prices reasonable. We had 21 people and WHP handled it beautifully. I don't live on Orcas, but my mom does and they accommodated us beautifully.

Food was good, I gave it four stars, view was six stars. Dined in the off-season and it was the crowded of four places we went to. For lunch, it feels like a tourist lunch spot. I would say the view is worth even if you don't like touristy spots. Beer is cold, portions are solid, prices are reasonable. My only knock would be too much potatoe in the clam chowder. Good place to take a date for the ambiance, good place to take well behaved kids.
