I went camping with friends at Cascadia State Park a few summers ago, on the way there and on the way back home we stopped at the A&W in Sweet Home. OMFG! It was like the A&W's from my childhood. That place still has the little carhop ordering menus for each car where they bring the food out on those metal trays that hook to your window. The quality was excellent. Seriously, totally worth a Sunday drive.
There's one in Stayton, OR too. As far as I know, those are the only A&W's that aren't attached to a gas station, KFC, or some other fast food place. Those all suck. Best burger around as far as I'm concerned. Get yourself a root beer freeze, it'll change your life.
Anyone been to Artic Circle? I used to go there in the 90s. The one in Raleigh Hills One in Woodburn still! https://acburger.com/location/store/547/menu/
There was one in NEP on Killingsworth when I was a kid. They had their own funky version of a kid's meal and the prize was a Hot Wheels car. That was gold when I was a kid. Loved going there.
Loved A&W as a kid, remember there being one up off 4th Plain in Vancouver, not far from the mall. Good burgers and of course you couldn't go there and NOT get a float!
Tebo's is no more, the owners sold the place a few years ago. My parents really liked it and I remember the steak sandwich being pretty good but of course everyone went there for the strawberry shortcake.
Sonic showed up here a couple of years ago. Folks here treat that place like royalty. I got sick on one of their breakfast burritos and haven't been back.
Not a fan of their food but the 1/2 price diet cherry limeade on the app is a great way to curb the summer heat!
Kissed my first girl inside the Bomber. Pumped gas for Art one summer while in hs. And the Super Nacho's at Megellan's were great! Lived in Oak Grove from 6th grade through HS.
Bomber had awesome Chicken Fried Steak. The wife and I used to go at least once a month. I was really hoping they'd get the bomber put back together and keep going, but it seems Covid did them in...
I took my wife to Artic Circle for the first time in Utah last month on a work trip. Utah is still loaded with them. The one in Newberg was a staple of my childhood.
I've been to that one, as well. Took the shortcut from Wilsonville to Newberg. FWIW, it's Arctic Circle.
