mikeadam Posted June 28, 2001 Posted June 28, 2001 Pertaining to climbing destinations in the PNW of course. There are some OK ones, but my favorite (and I WILL shamelessly plug) is SCALE BURGER out of the Paradise entrance at Rainier NP. Ya know the one with bacon and cheese and those big honkin, salty fries! DROOL.... Are there some others I should be investigating to increase my strength in the mountains? Quote
Cpt.Caveman Posted June 28, 2001 Posted June 28, 2001 In that order above then trailed by Heidelburger in Lworth -Cpt Burger Connosuer or however it is spelled Quote
Pencil_Pusher Posted June 28, 2001 Posted June 28, 2001 Good Food has the biggest and greasiest burgers this side of the Mississippi. On Hwy 20. Quote
To_The_Top Posted June 28, 2001 Posted June 28, 2001 There is the Frosty Inn at Glacier and Gustav's in Levanworth. Quote
Wopper Posted June 28, 2001 Posted June 28, 2001 I will second Gustav's in Leavenworth as having good greasy food at reasonable prices. There is also the Deschute's Brewery in Bend. A little more spendy/trendy but good food and good beer. Quote
miker Posted June 28, 2001 Posted June 28, 2001 But nothing can quite beat an old In & Out Burger from down south. Not PNW, but still good. I also third the vote for Gustav's, sitting up on the deck, with a beer and a burger as you watch the sun set over the hills and poke all of your bruises and scrapes...ahhh the good things in life...

Wopper Posted June 28, 2001 Posted June 28, 2001 If you are referring the restaraunts, the chicks are skanks. If you are referring to Hooters in general, I am with you. Long live Hooters! [This message has been edited by Wopper (edited 06-27-2001).] Quote
Drederek Posted June 28, 2001 Posted June 28, 2001 Zeke's? Are you kidding? Or did I catch them on a bad night? The Pa Burger at Ruckers in Packwood gets my vote. D Quote
EddieE Posted June 28, 2001 Posted June 28, 2001 Throwing my votes in for Gustav's in L-worth and my perennial fave - Scale Burgers. Ya gotta have it with a mountain berry shake. [This message has been edited by EddieE (edited 06-27-2001).] Quote
jon Posted June 28, 2001 Posted June 28, 2001 Schultzy's in the U District, not close to any climbing but unfortunately for my bank account very close to Pro Mountain Sports. I'll second the Deschutes Brewery, incredibly good food and well... the beer rocks. Quote
Doug Posted June 28, 2001 Posted June 28, 2001 Scale Burgers are Great! I can feel the zits welling up already. I cast a vote for the Old #3 Tavern in Ronald. The Mother Lode is incredible! Quote
Dru Posted June 28, 2001 Posted June 28, 2001 That burger place in Madras at the highway forks is pretty damn good for grease loading on the way to Smith. Quote
Eerie Posted June 28, 2001 Posted June 28, 2001 Three words....RED MILL BURGERS. It is on Phinney ridge in Seattle. The food is deliciously incredible edible. Make to sure to get a shake and onion rings too. Quote
Jman Posted June 28, 2001 Posted June 28, 2001 I would have to agree on Eeries' choice. They do make an awesome burger - hands down... if you have the time to wait an hour for it. Quote
forrest_m Posted June 28, 2001 Posted June 28, 2001 not a burger joint, but the next time you're on your way back from smith, check out the "tacos y mariscos" restaurant in madras. (i don't know the real name, but it has the words "tacos y mariscos" painted on the roof in huge letters. it's actually a grocery store that also serves food, and it's the best mexican grub north of the border. the first time we were there, in the middle of our meal, enjoying the beers that we fetched ourselves from the fridge in the store, the old lady from the kitchen came out and *demanded* that we each purchase one of the fresh pork tamales she had just pulled out of pot. well, who were we to argue? all i can say is... wow. Quote
Beck Posted June 28, 2001 Posted June 28, 2001 Great burgers on highway 20 at the burger joint by the river and in north bend there's a great burger joint with chairs that face mount si and scale burgers of course. Quote
nolanr Posted June 29, 2001 Posted June 29, 2001 Don't know the name of it, but I love that place in Marblemount (I think), conveniently located just as you get back to the highway coming from Cascade Pass area. Or Ike's Drive Inn in Granite Falls. The burgers are pretty good, the shakes are the best, they have about a dozen flavors. Quote
Terry_McClain Posted June 29, 2001 Posted June 29, 2001 Tall Timber Tavern in Eatonville. Worth driving by the Scale (not bashing it, but ya gotta try the Tall Timber and then compare). Order the LumberJack burger and an old fashioned milk shake (awesome!). Quote
Yossarian Posted June 29, 2001 Posted June 29, 2001 For the biggest, most mouth watering burger this side of the Mississippi set your sights on Earthquakes. Over 1.5 pounds of heart attack inducing beef that meets a weeks worth of saturated fat requirements as well as providing lubrication to those climbing tendons. Quote
steelhead Posted July 2, 2001 Posted July 2, 2001 If yer heading up the penninsula (yeh I know the rock sucks) Fat Smittys is great. hwy 101 up toward deception on the west side of the road. Big ol wooden statue of Smitty and a burger in front. you cant miss it. By far the best burger joint in WA. Quote
