I’d love to see what you consider to be the best eateries/food places near fishing for post-fishing chow. Here’s some of mine to get the list started.

5Bs Bakery - Concrete, WA
Awesome gluten-free bakery, and I dislike most gluten-free stuff. Seriously, you’d never know it was gluten-free.

Geoduck Restaurant & Lounge - Brinnon, WA
Best Oyster Po' Boy around

Mossimo Italian Bar & Grill - Gig Harbor, WA
Never ate there before, but they have good parking.

Skagit Valley Burgers - Sterling, WA
Great burgers.

Shrimp Shack - Deception Pass, WA
Great fish.

I don’t stop for food often when fishing so will have little to add to this thread. That said, thank you to all the baristas and gas station attendance who keep the coffee hot and strong for my half asleep, 4 am ass. There are a few between my house and salmon beaches I should really tip more than I actually do this time of year.
 
Busu in Astoria. Hole in the wall walk up window with mind blowing japanese fusion. Always impressed stopping in there.
 
A few places if you find yourself in the Tacoma area and looking for something to eat and a cold brew.
Tides Tavern - Gig Harbor
Cloverleaf Tavern - Tacoma
Ben Dews - Tacoma

I’m happy to see this thread, but can’t contribute much. I’m usually rushing home after fishing so I can link up with the family at a semi-reasonable time. I “get” to eat a gas station snack if I also need to stop for fuel. PM me if you want intel on the best places to buy clif bars near SRC beaches. That said cloverleaf pizza is one of the best there is.

Ah...another connoisseur of gas station mystery meat sticks.
 
Dion's Quik Chik convenience stores up and down the Keys. Been the fuel of choice for a considerable number of tarpon trips for a good many guides over the years. If you have had Dion's fried chicken then you know why. If you never gave it a try and have the chance get ready for the best.
 
As far as gas station food goes, the hot bar at the Freeland, WA Chevron has one of the biggest selections I’ve ever seen. I think some folks live off that thing. The spot next door had good breakfast strata too. Not sure if they’re still in business or not.

The North Plains, OR Chevron has a killer hash brown with sausage gravy deal. Cheap and huge portions. Open early too for a hearty wintertime breakfast before hitting the river.
 
If your traveling along I5 between Lynnwood and Everett, Ralibertos Taco Shop off 128th has the best tacos in the area, and their steak breakfast burrito is outstanding as well!
Their green sauce is so effing good and smoking hot most days!

I agree, the Chevron in Freeland has a lot of options.
Pulled in there once to get some grub after fishing and had Led Zeppelin “When the levee breaks” playing in my rig. A very “interesting” gal stuck her head through my open passenger side window and proclaimed that was her favorite song. She then offered to buy me beer for a ride home.
I politely declined but thoroughly enjoyed my food on the drive to the ferry.

Tides Tavern in Gig Harbor is a great place. My wife grew up in Gig Harbor and we eat there whenever we visit. In my area it’s a stop at the Spudnut shop in the way out of town to go fishing. They are generally open around 4 AM although they have new owners who bought out the original family who started and operated it for 75 years. It’s a stop that I try not to make very often, but a warm spudnut is hard to beat.
