Hi everyone! Emily and Ryan here with some quick r

Hi everyone! Emily and Ryan here with some quick reminders and tips so you know what to expect and get the most out of your visits to Sugarpine for the rest of this Spring and Summer…

1. We eliminated tips last year and 𝐰𝐞 𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐲 𝐚 𝟐𝟎% 𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧.. Some people are still missing the signs at the point of sale and the menu blurb, and the receipt statement, but it’s there and it’s not going to change. And yes, 𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 in many ways other than tableside. The service charge goes directly to all of our team members working hard to serve you and thousands of others a delicious meal as fast as we can.
2. 𝐈𝐜𝐞 𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐛𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐧𝐥𝐲 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐮. The full menu is available only at the walkup window.
3. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐨𝐧𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐨𝐟𝐟 𝐝𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐤 𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬.
4. 𝐏𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝟒:𝟑𝟎 𝐩𝐦. The end of our service (5 pm) can be very very busy, even hectic... The drive thru window closes at 4:30 and last call is at 4:45. If you’re in the walkup line before 5 pm, you’ll be served. We’re sorry but if you arrive after 5 pm it is too late. We recommend arriving before 4:30 for the best experience.

This unique spice mix inspires adventurous farm to fire cookery. Perfect for burgers, steaks, tri-tip, sides of salmon or your farmer’s market haul.

Available at the drive-in now and select New Seasons Markets this week; available at all @newseasonsmarket (s) this Summer. Try it on our “El Gaucho” tri-tip sandwich special, happening at the drive-in this weekend. ✌️

We hope you’re planning a trip out to Sugarpine

We hope you’re planning a trip out to Sugarpine this weekend to celebrate Mother’s Day. Here are a few tips to have the best time while visiting us:

1. 𝐒𝐋𝐎𝐖 𝐃𝐎𝐖𝐍… take time to pause and enjoy the scenery. Take a walk across the bridge, down to the river or through the park before or after your meal.

2. 𝐅𝐎𝐋𝐋𝐎𝐖 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐒𝐈𝐆𝐍𝐒… we have a unique setup and our service flows best if you look for the signs to direct you.

3. 𝐁𝐄 𝐀𝐃𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐎𝐔𝐒… Try something new. Explore the menu outside your comfort zone. Our grilled cheese and plain soft serve are delicious. But if you want the 5 star meal you heard about, go for the specials, signature items, house-made soft serve toppings, and pair it with drinks from our local and seasonally inspired beverage menu.

If you haven’t lined up for Grassland Barbecue’s Hood-famous smoked meats and killer seasonal sides, you’re missing out on some of the best eats in the Columbia Gorge. We got together on this limited edition smoked sausage to ring in the Spring Season and let ya’ll know you should plan a trip to Hood River very soon.

We’ve paired the herbaceous pork sausage (flavored with garlic, pimentón, fresh chiles, cilantro and scallion greens) with smokey carrot and hazelnut romesco, grilled onion, leek and carrot ribbon salad, fresh herbs and crispy shallot, all in a split-top brioche bun.

Wash it down with a pint of tart and refreshing “Sugardo”, our new signature Basque-style cider blend from @sonofman.co, available only at Sugarpine. ✌️
