Formerly known as Rose's Caboose, there was an accident in October of 2016 that caused us to have to rebuild. With the new building came a new name! Still the same friendly faces, and great food! We offer a variety of burgers ranging from the traditional hamburger or cheeseburger to our more unique items such as the Zapper or Rosie burger. We also offer other items such as, Fish and Chips made with local halibut, chicken strips, clam strips, steak fingers, and much, much more. Not hungry? Stop by for one of our delicious milkshakes! They are hand scooped and made with real ingredients, no syrups. We offer both indoor and outdoor dining option. If you choose to eat outside, you can enjoy watching float planes take off, ships go by and maybe even get lucky and see some whales. AJ's (formerly Rose's Caboose) has been family owned and operated for the past 25 years, we have enjoyed every year of it and look forward to many more under our new name!

Shakes made from real fruit--you can watch them make it! Solid burgers and fries. Consistently good. (*This is a repost--my original will be deleted because I realized I have two yelp accounts!)
