Those riding over the North Cascades Highway are acquainted with the attractions in Winthrop, but just a few miles down the road you run right through the small town of Twisp. Aside from a nice little farmer’s market, there is also a great, out of the way spot for a meal and a brew. [...]

OK. I admit it.
I haven’t written a column for awhile. I ran into the illustrious John Davis (that would be the All High Muckety-Muck Publisher of this fine, informative publication) over the weekend, and he was very ……..uh…… understanding about the fact that I have been riding more than writing.
The weather this summer [...]

Uncle Jack’s billiards
Food style/ethnicity: All American

I went down and checked out Uncle Jack’s last night and it is a lot more than I would expect from a pool hall. There are at least twenty-five tables, in a smoke-free atmosphere, with a full bar (tables there, too) and [...]

Bluebird Cafe
Food style/ethnicity: Home cookin’
Price: $6 - $12
Location:
Main drag
Arlington, WA
You can’t miss the Bluebird Cafe, if you ride down the main street in Arlington. It’s on the west side of the street in the middle of town. The sign is what I’d call ‘quaint’ and the food is all about good old fashioned American home cookin’!
Inside, it’s quiet and cool and the booths are cozy and welcoming, yet you can see the street and watch your bike. They seem to like everyone who comes in and the place has many regulars. I try to order the “Chicken Fried Steak” or the “Meatloaf”, cause they are literally just like Mom used to make. But, I don’t think you can go wrong, no matter what you order.
Most meals come with a dessert, and they have fresh pie and good strong coffee to go with it. A breakfast there, is worth the ride and the pancakes are light and mouth watering! It’s such a nice place, you could take your dear old grandmother there. For a guy who has family in rural Montana, and well remembers the little small town cafe’s there, this place is a taste of home.
Just three words: Have the pie!

Oak Harbor, WA
If you are riding the Whidbey Island loop or just taking the long way to the Oyster Run, this little place is a great stop. It’s on the street side of Hiway 20, just after you make the turn north towards Deception Pass, in [...]
