Charburger - Cascade Locks

Eating is simple cafeteria and sometimes simple is what they want. friendly place to enjoy some great view in the dining room.

Not pretentious at all. Sort of an Everyday Folks kinda place that serves good food quickly. It's got one of the best views of the Columbia Gorge and especially the BotG bridge in that area. I've been coming to this location for decades (previous owners had a cafeteria style layout. Views and food have never disappointed me all these years. Today we split their salmon patty burger they do their own salmon patty and it was very lightly fried (perhaps pan fried) but substantial. and without the fillers some places add. We're not big eaters so 1/2 the sandwich and splitting the fries that came with it was filling.

Walk in and order your food and beverage, then find a seat. I ordered the black bean burger with fries $16.00. I was surprised with the double patty with cheese. It as delicious, held together nicely, had a little guacamole on top. The fries were plentiful and fried perfectly. Our view of the river and Bridge of the God's was beautiful. There's a nice gift shop, alcoholic beverages as well as a variety of non-alcoholic and Pepsi products.

Used to love this place. Has been good food value for the money. Not anymore. Last Sunday went for breakfast. Ordered a Denver Omelette. Wanted Pancakes instead of hash browns toast. Was charged a $2 change order fee. Been was as resent as 3 weeks ago. Want I was served was the smallest omelette I have ever seen. AN ONE single pancake. Have been getting 2 in place of browns toast with no change order fee. Heard others make reference to their omelettes being short eggs filling. Taste was the same. But $17 for a tiny Denver Omelette and single small pancake. Smallest I've ever been served anywhere. We won't be driving up from Portland anymore. Eat some in town before going into the gorge for a beautiful day.

What a beautiful location on the river with a view of the Bridge of the gods. Nice menu selection but not overwhelming. Order at counter and they bring you your food. My patty melt was super delicious and the fries were piping hot! They also have a small selection of cans and bottles of alcohol.
