OREGON ALBACORE TORTA ๐ŸŸ This summerโ€™s newest sand OREGON ALBACORE TORTA ๐ŸŸ

This summerโ€™s newest sandwich (from Chef Jordan Cassel @cookingcassel) celebrates one of the Pacific Northwestโ€™s greatest ingredients through the vibrant coastal flavors of Veracruz.

Grilled Oregon albacore, salsa a la veracruzana, shredded cabbage, salsa crudo, house jalapeรฑo escabeche, and creamy pepita aioli on a toasted onion kaiser.

Swipe to discover the story behind the fish, the flavors, and the coastal traditions that inspired one of this summerโ€™s favorite specials. โ†’

OREGON ALBACORE ๐ŸŒŠ

Every summer, schools of albacore migrate into the cold, nutrient-rich waters off the Oregon Coast, where theyโ€™re sustainably harvested by local fishermen.

Known for its clean flavor, firm texture, and rich omega-3s, Oregon albacore has become one of the Pacific Northwestโ€™s signature seafoodsโ€”and one of summerโ€™s most anticipated catches.

INSPIRED BY THE FLAVORS OF VERACRUZ ๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡ฝ

Located along Mexicoโ€™s Gulf Coast, Veracruz is one of the countryโ€™s oldest port regions, where Indigenous, Spanish, African, Caribbean, and Mediterranean influences have shaped one of Mexicoโ€™s most distinctive regional cuisines.

Fresh seafood, ripe tomatoes, olives, capers, citrus, herbs, and pickled vegetables come together in dishes that are vibrant, bright, and perfectly suited to warm-weather cooking.

Not in the mood for a sandwich? Weโ€™ve got you.

The Oregon Albacore Torta is also available as a rice bowl or salad, featuring the same grilled Oregon albacore and vibrant Veracruz-inspired flavors served over our hearty eight-grain rice blend or fresh farm greens.

PEAK SUMMER IS HERE. โ˜€๏ธ

Celebrate the season with our new sandwich and salad specials inspired by the vibrant flavors of Mexico, featuring the very best of Oregonโ€™s summer harvest alongside our Tropical Vacation menu of sundaes, cold bevvies, and frozen treats. See you soon!โœŒ๏ธ
THE KAU KAU CHEF SUNDAE: SWEET LADY ๐ŸŒบ๐Ÿฆ Created wi THE KAU KAU CHEF SUNDAE: SWEET LADY ๐ŸŒบ๐Ÿฆ

Created with Brandon and Tracee Hirahara of @kaukau_pdx, Summerโ€™s Chef Sundae is inspired by one of Hawaiสปiโ€™s most beloved desserts.

Coconut soft serve, lilikoi curd, chewy kulolo, toasted coconut, and crispy kakimochi come together in a sundae thatโ€™s bright, tropical, deeply nostalgic, and rooted in Hawaiian food traditions.

AVAILABLE NOW AND FOR THE NEXT 3 WEEKS. $1 from every Sweet Lady sold supports the Hawaiโ€™i Farmers Union Foundation (@hfuuofficial).

MEET THE CHEFS ๐Ÿ‘‹

Brandon and Tracee Hirahara are the husband-and-wife team behind @kaukau_pdx, one of Portlandโ€™s most beloved Hawaiian restaurants (on NE Alberta Street), where they celebrate the rich and diverse food traditions of Hawaiสปi through family recipes, local favorites, and seasonal cooking.

Both began their culinary careers on Oสปahu before moving to Portland in 2011, training in some of Hawaiสปiโ€™s most respected kitchens before helping lead acclaimed restaurants like @langbaanpdx and @eempdx. In 2021, they opened Kau Kau to share the food they grew up eating with their Portland community.

For this collaboration, they chose a dessert that instantly brings them home.

INSPO: THE SWEET LADY OF WAIAHOLE ๐ŸŒด

This sundae is inspired by the legendary โ€œSweet Ladyโ€ served at @waiaholepoifactory on Oสปahuโ€™s lush windward coast.

For many people in Hawaiสปi, itโ€™s a destination dessert - a comforting combination of warm kulolo, cool haupia, and bright lilikoi thatโ€™s become as iconic as the restaurant itself.

Our version reimagines those same flavors as a Sugarpine sundae while honoring the memories and traditions that made the original so beloved.

Peak Oregon summer, in a bowl.

Inspired by the fruit carts and roadside fruteros of Mexico, this salad celebrates the season when fruit is at its absolute best. Throughout Mexico and Latin America, freshly cut fruit is often served not as dessert, but dressed with chile, lime, herbs, and chamoyโ€”transforming ripe, seasonal produce into something bright, refreshing, and deeply savory.

With first of the season local heirloom tomatoes, sweet Oregon watermelon, cucumber, and pickled jicama are layered with peppery arugula, fresh cilantro, and jalapeรฑo, then dressed with a vibrant hibiscus vinaigrette.

Our house-made chamoy starts with satsuma plums grown here at Sugarpine, blended with Oregon apricots, @northwestcherries and dried stonefruit to create chamoyโ€™s signature balance of sweet, tart, salty, and gentle chile heat. Finished with chili-toasted pumpkin seeds and peanuts, every bite is juicy, crisp, refreshing, and a little spicy.

Available now and for the next few weeks at the drive in. See you soon! โœŒ๏ธ ๐Ÿ‰๐Ÿ…๐Ÿˆ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‹โ€๐ŸŸฉ

We celebrate that tradition and Oregonโ€™s Summer bounty with this sandwich: tajin-spiced heirloom tomatoes, chile-marinated garden beans, chipotle-pickled summer squash, a charred corn โ€œesquitesโ€ aioli, crisp green leaf lettuce, fresh shaved summer squash, and a little frito crunch, all on toasted seeded multigrain; our favorite bread from Portland French Bakery.

THE CUBAN PULLED PORK Summerโ€™s pulled pork sandwi THE CUBAN PULLED PORK

Summerโ€™s pulled pork sandwich explores the bold, balanced flavors of Cuban cuisine.

Slow-smoked, mojo-marinated pork layered with our sweet-tangy Havana Gold BBQ sauce, crisp cabbage slaw with ripe papaya, pickled onion, spinach, fresh mint, and ginger-lime vinaigrette, finished with roasted garlic & yucca aioli on an Oyatsupan milk bun.

BOLD FLAVORS, HUMBLE INGREDIENTS

Cuban cuisine tells the story of an island shaped by many influences. Spanish traditions, African techniques, Indigenous ingredients, and generations of resourceful home cooks created a cuisine built on humble ingredients transformed through slow cooking, citrus, garlic, herbs, and bold seasoning. Pork became one of its defining centerpieces, often paired with bright, fresh flavors that cut through its richness. That philosophy inspired this sandwich, where smoke, citrus, herbs, and acidity work together in every bite.

SLOW-SMOKED MOJO PORK

Every pork shoulder is seasoned with our signature pork rub before marinating in a papaya purรฉe. The papayaโ€™s natural enzymes gently tenderize the meat as it absorbs the bright flavors of garlic, oregano, and sour orange. After hours on the rotisserie smoker, the pork is gently braised until fork-tender, pulled by hand, and finished with our house-made sazรณn-style seasoning.

Our Havana Gold BBQ sauce brings everything together. Made with mustard & honey, ripe papaya, garlic, and our house-made sazรณn, itโ€™s simmered until silky, then blended into a sweet, tangy, mustard-forward sauce that ties together the smoky pork, fresh slaw, and creamy aioli.

NOT IN THE MOOD FOR A SANDWICH?

Our Cuban Pulled Pork is also available as a rice bowl or salad. The rice bowl starts with our signature eight-grain rice blend, whose nutty flavor and hearty texture pair beautifully with the smoky pork, bold sauces, and bright, herbaceous slaw.

THE PERFECT BUN

Our signature double milk bun, made exclusively for us by our friends at @oyatsupanbakers, is incredibly soft and tender, yet sturdy enough to stand up to smoky mojo pork, crisp slaw, roasted garlic & yucca aioli, and our sweet-tangy Havana Gold BBQ sauce from first bite to last.

8 YEARSโ€ฆ eight years ago we swung open the gates t 8 YEARSโ€ฆ eight years ago we swung open the gates to a little drive-in on the banks of the Sandy River, fingers crossed that people would make the trip. We had a handful of ideas, a lot to learn, and no clue what this place would become.

Weโ€™ve watched first dates turn into marriages, families grow up, and kids who once stood on tiptoes to order now return for first dates of their own. Weโ€™ve been the stop before a hike, the reward after a day on the river, the place to bring visiting family, and the backdrop for birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, and so many of lifeโ€™s milestones. Along the way, weโ€™ve created more than 35 seasonal menus, each one inspired by the people, places, and ingredients that make Oregon such an incredible place to call home.

What weโ€™re most proud of isnโ€™t any one sandwich or sundae. It isnโ€™t the lines that never end. Itโ€™s the community thatโ€™s grown around this little drive-in.

To everyone whoโ€™s made the drive, every farmer, fisherman, rancher, forager, baker, brewer, winemaker, artist, musician, photographer, vendor, collaborator, and fellow small business thatโ€™s helped shape this placeโ€”thank you.

To every person whoโ€™s ever worn a Sugarpine apron, thank you. Weโ€™ve asked a lot of you over the years because weโ€™ve always believed this place could be something special. Together weโ€™ve built more than a restaurantโ€”weโ€™ve built a place people return to, year after year. Thank you for your hard work, your creativity, and the care youโ€™ve shown every guest who walked through our gates. Youโ€™ve each left your mark on this place, and Sugarpine wouldnโ€™t be what it is without you.

Eight years later, we still get excited to swing open the gates every morning. Weโ€™re still inspired by the beauty of the Columbia River Gorge. Weโ€™re still chasing the very best ingredients we can find. And weโ€™re still trying to make every visit worth the drive.

Thank you for making Sugarpine part of your lives. Thank you for making the trip, year after year. We donโ€™t take a single visit for granted.

Hereโ€™s to eight years, and fingers crossed - to many more. Weโ€™ll see you soon at the drive-in. โค๏ธ

A mountain of chocolate soft serve, coated in a crackly Kona coffee & dark chocolate magic shell, studded with shards of macadamia-oat brittle, Oreo shortbread crunch, and finished with a cloud of Thai tea whip. Rich, deeply chocolatey, and packed with texture from the first bite to the last.

Named for Earthโ€™s largest active volcano, this sundae celebrates the landscapes that have shaped Hawaiสปiโ€™s agriculture for generations. Volcanic soils nurture everything from world-famous Kona coffee to macadamias, while the islandsโ€™ vibrant food culture reflects the many communities that have made Hawaiสปi home. This sundae draws inspiration from bothโ€”the land itself and the flavors that have grown from it.

Puerto Rican cooking has deep roots, shaped by Indigenous Taรญno, Spanish, and West African traditions. Inspired by some of the islandโ€™s most iconic flavorsโ€”guava, sofrito, beans, mojo, and plantainsโ€”we brought them together in a non-traditional smoked barbecue sandwich thatโ€™s full of flavor.

Cool, crisp, and perfect for a light Summer lunch.

Our new salad special is inspired by the chilled somen salads of Hawaiสปi. Found everywhere from family potlucks and beach days to school cafeterias and neighborhood markets - our version is built for hot afternoons along the Sandy river.

The tradition traces back to Japan, where chilled somen has long been a summer staple and is famously enjoyed as nagashi somen - ice cold noodles flowing through bamboo flumes, caught with chopsticks before being dipped into a light broth.

Tender somen noodles, char siu smoked tofu, cucumber sunomono, julienne carrot, watermelon radish, marinated egg, narutomaki and sesame furikake are finished with a light, chilled dashi broth.

Refreshing enough to cool you down, satisfying enough to be a meal on its own, or the perfect companion to one of our smoky barbecue sandwiches and an ice-cold Oregon beer.

Come grab a bowl and hit the river. Then come back for a soft serve sundae. Weโ€™re open 11-5.โœŒ๏ธ

Think beach cookouts, roadside fruit stands, tropical flavors, colorful soft serve, cold drinks, smoked meats, and peak-season produce. Itโ€™s the kind of food we want to eat after a hike, a bike ride, or a long day on the river.

Youโ€™ll find Northwest cherries, peaches, berries, tomatoes, corn, and fresh herbs paired with ingredients like guava, pineapple, passion fruit, calamansi, coconut, chamoy, and ube.

Over the next few months weโ€™ll be celebrating Northwest Cherry season, rolling out new collaborations, hosting our 8th Anniversary BBQ, pouring all the margarita slushies, and making the most of the best time of year to enjoy the Columbia River Gorge.

Nature can be the destination. Or it can be the backdrop for a shared meal, good conversation, and taking care of your people.

A friendsโ€™ weekend at Lost Lake reminded us that:
โ€ข the best memories donโ€™t make themselves
โ€ข community starts with showing up
โ€ข and food tastes better outside

Happy Solstice yaโ€™ll. Donโ€™t let another Oregon summer pass you by. โœŒ๏ธ
