Restaurants in Ashford

[Patrix]

So where can I get a good meal and a cold one after coming down from Rainier??

Copper Creek Inn is not bad, a bit pricey, but the burgers aren't a bad deal. Or, if you want quantity, you can head down to the Mexican place in Eatonville (called Puerto Vallarta, I think.) They're friendly, pretty good and greasy, and fast. They've both got .

for a typical bar food experience, the burgers are pretty good at The Highlander in Ashford.

Where do you get your obligatory DBCB (that is Double Bacon Cheese Burger) for your children on the way out AFTER they reach their goal?

 

With children in tow this becomes one of the most important questions on this board.

I always want to make sure the reward is with in proportion of the effort.

 

Out of I-90 it is Scotties Dairy Freeze in North Bend.

 

How about Hwy 2, Hwy 20 or Ashford?

 

I normally stop for a Scale Burger just outside of Ashford.

Thank you for the recommendatins!

Ashford = Scale burger

Hwy. 2 = AlpenBurger in Startup

Hwy. 20 = Good Food or Buffalo Run in Marblemount

Hwy. 542 = lot of options between Glacier and B'ham. Northfork Beer Shrine is my fav.

Hwy. 90 = no idea. I don't ever drive it.

 

Cheers.

the copper creek is VERY good. not the cheapest by any means. but good. the flat iron is incredible. as said before the highlander is a good place for some bar food and a beer.

FYI - "Good Food" is a misnomer. At best, it's passable.

I stopped at the Scaleburger after my last climb, and it was good, but not great for the price. I prefer the Burger joint in a rail car across the street.

The bar at the Overland Lodge has pitchers of microbrew for $6.25 and pints of Coors (for non-NWeners) $1. Food is the usual bar variety.

Now closed I think, the "Wild Berry" just outside the entrance was once a truly great place to go for a most heinous restaurant experience. A friend once ate a Shepherd's pie there enroute to Rainier and spent the whole weekend peeing out his ass.

 

Another long gone daddy was the "Mountain Burger", a restaurant in Ashford just west of the gas station, and basically it was run out of some redneck's house. I went in there and watched the lady cook my burger with a spatula in one hand, and a filthy baby- wearing only a diaper- in the other arm. I never ate there again. It burned down a year or so later.

 

The Lowlifer (i.e. Highlander) pizza, last I recall, was grrrross.
