On our last day of our trip to the Redwoods, we ate at this historical place. In the early 1900's the lumber companies in the Northwest had cook houses to feed their large logging crews. There is one still operating near Eureka, CA.
Food is served cafeteria-style. They serve one thing for each meal - take it or leave it. The amount - all you can eat. Each meal.
The prices are broken down by age.
It has the big open kitchen from the logging days. You can watch them prepare the food, including fresh bread and biscuits. Biscuits and gravy are a built-in part of every breakfast.
Dining is casual. Long tables, just like a school cafeteria. You will share your table with other diners.
Some of whom didn't appreciate my photo-journalist
enthusiasm. But - that didn't stop me! the atmosphere is pure logging camp. They even have a
museum on-site. Good place to stroll through if the place is busy and you have to wait for a seat.
Food-wise, it's not the best food I've ever eaten. But, it was good and if you have a son with a hollow leg, it's good place to fill him up. I'd like to try dinner there sometime. It's the atmosphere and unique-
ness of the cook house that I liked. It's almost like some eating situations I had at girl's camp. It was fun. And did I mention their biscuits?
