#LOG CABIN RESTAURANT FULL#

There’s a long walkway past the counter seating that no doubt gets full when customers are waiting and looking back at the saloon doors as I walk in there’s some seating for folks and also some very conveniently placed menus so folks can figure out what they’d like to order before they are seated. There’s a small gist shop to the right once inside and some counter seating just to the left of the entrance. The rustic cabin exterior continues inside and the cabin esthetic is genuine as visitors will quickly appreciate. The saloon style doors beckon visitors and the aromas of slow cooked meats tantalize the palate. Once inside the first thing that you’ll notice is the log cabin theme is continued inside. The Log Cabin exterior is bright red painted logs and they are (unlike many “log cabins”) the actual structural and wall elements of this building – and can be seen from the inside and the outside. The Log Cabin is a respectable size from the outside and even with that it seems much larger on the inside. I’ve never seen the parking lot less than half full, so it’s a good thing the sign is so high, anything else and it might be more difficult to see. The large sign highly elevated above the road should easily be seen when driving toward the coast. The large fireplace at the west end of the dining room was made by the children of the Bateman family hauling rocks from the local creek and is lit during the cool winter months. They asked the surveyors if it was far enough and it was, luckily. The Bateman’s decided to move it, and once starting moving they did move it – not as far as requested, but then the moving chain broke, exactly where it is currently. The Corps of Engineers needed to get their heavy equipment across the bridges and couldn’t – because the Log Cabin was in the way, so they asked it be moved otherwise it would be demolished. In 1941 there was some constructions happening on the coast and roads were being made from Portland – unfortunately the original Log Cabin location was in exactly the wrong location. In the spring of 1942 is was moved to it’s current location. It was built in 1933 by the Ray Bateman and his family out of fir logs – because that was what was available in the area and is the best preserved log cabin in Washington County. I spent some time talking to Digger today and getting some history on the Log Cabin. The Log Cabin Restaurant is located along Highway 6 at the far north western corner of the willamette valley on the way to the coast – if you keep going you’ll arrive in Tillamook. There’s a fantastic history with the place and I’m always anxious to enjoy the drive and talk to the folks who are working there or even the owner Digger. It has a fantastic menu and is very low key and relaxed. I’d been here before and it was one of my favorite spots on the way to the coast. On this Sunday it was beautiful and sunny when I woke up at nearly 8am – that is way sleeping in for me, I’m normally up at 4 or 5am, and if I’m honest it felt great! I decided to hit the Log Cabin. Ordered one of their pies to take home, which was also wonderfully tasty.Not to go on too much of a rant this morning, but it’s my story after all and you are rather a captive audience and I figure you all are interested in the personal nature of my writing otherwise you wouldn’t be here, right? Anyhow, is it odd that I enjoy so much more driving my old (and sometimes not working) Bronco than the new and rather more comfortable, more powerful, climate controlled Chrysler 300? When I think about it logically it does seem odd, but I guess that’s a heart decision, maybe the bronco just means more to me, like a familiar pair of jeans or an old shirt. Prices were very reasonable, especially considering how much food we received and just how good everything was. Portions were good sized, so we left feeling sated and full. The eggs and sausage were excellent, the seasoned potatoes were delicious, and the cinnamon roll was almost sinfully delightful. Similarly, our food came out quickly but was fresh, warm, and cooked to near perfection. She did a great job efficiently tending to our table without ever making us feel rushed. Once we were seated, our waitress was prompt yet polite. However, despite the long line of waiting customers, the staff did a great job of keeping things moving along. The restaurant is obviously a very popular spot to dine, since the parking lot was nearly full and there was a large group of.
