This Old-School Washington Drive-In Still Sells Cheeseburgers For Under $6

Some places just refuse to be complicated, and honestly, that’s the most refreshing thing in the world. Lakeview Drive In, tucked right into the sunny heart of Chelan, Washington, is exactly that kind of place, a no-fuss, order-at-the-window spot that serves up burgers, fries, and milkshakes the way they were always meant to be served.

In Chelan, Apple Cup Cafe Serves Breakfast-to-Dinner Comfort Food in a Homey Small-Town Setting

Some towns are remembered for their lakes, and some for the place where everybody seems to eat breakfast. Chelan, Washington, manages both. Tucked along a downtown street is a small cafe with knotty pine walls, a loyal local crowd, and a menu built around hearty comfort plates that rarely leave room for dessert. Travelers have been known to eat there three mornings in a row, and plenty of people plan their Chelan trips around a stop.

The Burgers At This Little Washington Cafe Are So Enormous, You Can Barely Take A Bite

Somewhere between Belfair and the Hood Canal waterfront, there’s a small white building with a red sign that has been quietly ruining people’s ability to enjoy ordinary burgers ever since they first visited. That place is Big Bubba’s Burgers in Allyn, Washington, and if you haven’t been there...

The Massive Washington Grocery Warehouse Where People Go To Stock Up On Bulk Food

This giant grocery warehouse moved into a building that used to be a toy store. Now the aisles hold cases of food instead of action figures, and I think that swap is kind of perfect. The doors open at 6 AM on weekdays. You don’t need a membership card to...

Biscuits And Gravy Cover The Whole Plate At These 10 Small-Town Washington Diners

A half order of biscuits and gravy at one Washington diner can fill the entire plate. Yes, the half order. That detail alone sent me on a hunt for more places like it. The search turned up some wonderful surprises. One cafe has been feeding its mountain town since 1936.

Crispy Fried Oysters Come Heaped In Paper Boats At These 10 Washington Seafood Counters

At one oyster bar on Hood Canal, the fried oysters get tossed in buffalo sauce seasoned with kelp. Seaweed in the hot sauce. I needed a minute with that one. It turns out Washington takes its fried oysters seriously, even at places where you order at a counter and grab your own napkins. One spot coats them in crushed saltines.

These 8 Old-School Chinese Restaurants Stand Out Across Washington For Classic Dishes

One restaurant on this list has swinging cowboy doors and more than 90 years of wonton soup behind it. I love that detail so much in Washington. Another spot keeps a separate entertainment room called the Lotus Room, complete with a jukebox. A third still serves something called the Bo Bo Platter.

These 8 Washington Dishes Capture the Pacific Northwest One Bite at a Time

Too many apples and too few buyers could have been the end of the story. Instead, two immigrants used the extra fruit to make a chewy candy inspired by a sweet from their homeland. More than a century later, people are still reaching for it. That’s a good reason to...

This Washington Hawaiian Spot Piles Kalua Pork And Mac Salad On Plate Lunches Big Enough To Share

Kalua pork that pulls apart with a fork. Loco moco with gravy and egg yolk running through the rice. A family-run bakery right next door selling guava cake. That combo alone sounds like a vacation, but it sits in a small retail strip in an industrial corner of Washington. The plates come with rice and mac salad, the way they do back on the islands.

These Northwest Wineries Are Worth a Detour

This article originally appeared in our sister publication, 425. Washington is already well known for its wine industry, which consists of expansive vineyards and nationally recognized producers. But the state’s most interesting pours aren’t always found where you’d expect. The dozen wineries below represent the lesser known sides of the areas of the wine scene, including small-batch producers nestled within suburban forests, unusual varieties found in downtown districts, personal tasting experiences on rural island farms, and much more.

Dinner Comes Out Of A Century-Old Firehouse Kitchen At This Washington Restaurant

The fire engines are long gone, but the original brick walls from 1907 are still standing around your burger. Firefighter gear from the old days stays on display, so dinner comes with a side of history. I like how this Washington spot never tried to erase its past. Instead, it...

10 Washington Tea Rooms Serving Scones, Finger Sandwiches And Pots Of Tea

Psst, I’ve got some tea to spill. Washington’s tea rooms have a few surprises up their sleeves, and the gossip is almost as good as the scones. Imagine walking through an actual wardrobe just to get your afternoon tea. Narnia called, and apparently, clotted cream is on the menu.
