This Oregon Seafood Buffet Is Serving Up A Weekend Feast Packed With Ocean Favorites

Crab, salmon, shrimp, and prime rib all share the same buffet line every Friday and Saturday night. That combination alone made me sit up a little straighter. The feast runs from mid-afternoon into the evening, and a sweet dessert bar waits at the end. I like how the whole thing feels built for people who refuse to choose between surf and turf.

Goodbye Crater Lake, So Long Wallowa Lake: Oregon's Unsung Boating And Fishing Paradise Has Scenic Canyon Views

Oregon has a well-deserved reputation as one of America's premier states for outdoor adventure. As beautiful as Oregon is, however, most of that reputation centers around its majestic Cascade Mountains and its ethereal coastline. The large chunk of the state east of the Cascades tends to get less attention. Which is a shame, because central Oregon has plenty of amazing natural wonders that are as worth a visit as Mount Hood or Cannon Beach. Lake Billy Chinook is one such underrated gem in central Oregon. Though it lacks some of the wide recognition given to Crater Lake and Wallowa Lake, Lake Billy Chinook is a unique showcase of a side of Oregon fewer travelers get to see.

One town is perfectly positioned to enjoy all of it, and that's Prairie City.

This Oregon Roadside Burger Joint Is Filled With Rusty Car Parts And Serves Burgers Loaded With Wild Toppings

An airplane fuselage sits on the roof of a burger joint along an Oregon highway. Yes, an actual chunk of airplane. It’s the first clue that lunch here won’t be ordinary. Inside, old license plates are nailed to the walls. Engine parts, odd signs, and even a mannequin share the space. The benches look like they were pulled straight out of old cars.

Sisters is a small town at the edge of the Cascades, the kind of place where a quilt festival can fill every sidewalk. Most people come for mountain views and western storefronts, not a serious dinner. Yet one newer restaurant on the east side of town has locals and weekend travelers talking about menus the way city folks talk about Portland.
