This week’s sundae special is a tribute to Grandma Gerri’s special occasion pie, a la mode... vanilla soft serve ice cream with fresh lemon curd, flaky pie dough crumble and toasted meringue bark.

We’re back open for the week and cooking up more cozy comfort food. Stop by for lunch or grab dinner to-go. See you soon!

“𝑻𝑯𝑬 𝑳𝑨𝑹𝑪𝑯 𝑴𝑶𝑼𝑵𝑻𝑨𝑰𝑵 𝑺𝑼𝑵𝑫𝑨𝑬”

Seems like we’ve been making this sundae for an eternity… But four and a half years ago - before we opened the drive in - we had an idea that we could serve food that represents the things we love about living in the Columbia River Gorge, and also pay respect to the legacy of roadside confectioneries and cafes that were here before us. It’s a bit romantic, but it’s pretty easy to be cheesy being out here; like a lot of Oregon.

Anyway, this was the first thing we came up with, and it turned out to be damn good… a sundae that’s a little like a drive along the scenic highway up to Larch Mountain, past roadside family farms selling cut flowers, fresh blueberries, bunches of lavender and jars of fresh honey. If you haven’t made the drive, you should try it someday.

All that said, it’s pretty simple: vanilla and chocolate soft serve with blueberry-lavender sauce, brown butter blondie bites and pine nut honeycomb crunch. But it’s so good, and it gets better. Try one today, we’re open 11 to 5. ✌️

𝑷𝑼𝑳𝑳𝑬𝑫 𝑷𝑶𝑹𝑲 “𝑪𝑼𝑩𝑨𝑵𝑶”

This season’s pulled pork sandwich is a play on the classic flavors of the “Cubano”, a pressed ham and cheese sandwich originating in Cuban communities throughout Florida; with regional variations between Tampa and Miami.

Our preparation includes pork shoulder that’s slow smoked over maple and fruitwood and seasoned with mojo criollo (a mix of sour orange, garlic and oregano) as well as smoked pork belly that’s been marinated in a junipery ham brine and thinly sliced. The sandwich is layered with lacto carrot, onion and jalapeño pickles and pairs with our house mustard sauce; all on an @oyatsupanbakers double milk slider with crispy griddled emmental cheese.

Come and try one today. We’re open 11 to 5. ✌️

We just launched our new signature PLANT-BASED sundae for Winter, and it’s inspired by the classic Italian treat of the same name… featuring vanilla-oat and pistachio soft serve with a “ferrero rocher-style” chocolate & hazelnut magic shell, strawberry jam and pistachio meringue kisses.

Nutty, creamy, crunchy and fruity… this sundae is a dairy-free and gluten-free dream, and it’s on the menu all season. Come try it this holiday weekend. We’re open 11 to 5 and Monday too. ✌️

Helping you keep your new year’s resolutions wit

Helping you keep your new year’s resolutions with this vegetable-forward signature sandwich…
“𝑩𝑬𝑬𝑻 𝑻𝑯𝑬 𝑾𝑰𝑵𝑻𝑬𝑹 𝑩𝑳𝑬𝑼𝑺” - on the menu all season.

Roasted rainbow beets with frisée, valencia almond, blue cheese vinaigrette, cherry-chili chutney and a “cheesy” almond “boursin” spread on a toasted ciabatta bun.

These flavors works so well together and we bumped up the savory elements of the sandwich to balance the natural sweetness of the beets. Option to make this plant-based or add our house bacon to take it to the next level.

We’re pulling out all the stops for you with this season’s signature sandwich, 𝑻𝑯𝑬 𝑩𝑹𝑰𝑺𝑲𝑬𝑻 𝑩𝑰𝑺𝑪𝑼𝑰𝑻.

Beef brisket, two ways: slow smoked and braised with star anise and cinnamon, then glazed with our cocoa-chipotle barbecue sauce, and paired with sweet onion gravy mayo, kale and braised collards with a touch of sherry vinegar. Our buttermilk-black pepper & scallion biscuits, baked daily, are the perfect foil for this decadent set; which, for all its satisfying richness has a great balance of flavor. We hope you love it.

Come and try one today. We’re open Thursday thru Monday, all Winter, 11 am to 5 pm. ✌️
