I've been going to this place since I was a kid. Burger, curly fries, milk shake. I don't care how many calories it is -- it's a splurge and it's good.
I know some people love their ice cream cones. Â Yes, I've had my share but I'm not a big ice cream person (put it in my shake with chocolate, please).
Maybe it's the tradition or the mythology but there is something about those burgers. The not-so-secret sauce. You have to get a shake to go with it. And then the curly fries balance everything out. That's what I tell myself.
I don't get to Cascade Locks much anymore but you better believe that first thing I do is pull into the drive-in and get this holy trinity.
For faster service, call ahead. We used to have them on speed dial (back in the day), no joke. Be patient. Good food takes time.
