Pine Cafe

What a cute little place. We went for lunch, take out. Parking was ample, there's a green area to let our little dog go potty. Make sure you bring potty bags. No bags provided but there was a trash. Porta potties are out front for customer use. They were clean and fresh. No bugs either! No restroom inside for customers, only employees. The outside is adorable, inside feels small, had about 10 tables maybe. It had a modular building feel to it. I wasn't super impressed with the interior. But honestly it's not as important as the quality of service, cleanliness and food quality. They mostly met my expectations for those 3, the atmosphere inside didn't really matter. The outside seating area was great. Though I suggest they screen in the patio area to keep the bugs out. Flies were abundant, so much so that the 8 year old boy at the table near us asked how many different species of flies there were! He started pointing out all the different color flies that kept landing on his rather annoyed and uninterested mom. Kind of sad really. A great teaching and observation moment completely ignored & missed. Not to mention the encouragement of a clearly bright young mind. Oh well. Nevertheless, it was a great experience! The ladies inside, one in particular, were hopping! Handing out menus & taking orders as we came through the door and stood in line. While at the same time taking completed orders to the tables. After giving her our order we'd take a seat at a table inside or wait outside. Gave her a good tip! Not sure what the other brown haired, a bit older, lady was doing. Not much really. Poured herself a glass of lemonade, talked to a few people and walked away. There were 3 plates at the window ready to go to a table, but she ignored them. Perhaps she was on break. The burgers were really good. Hubby said cooked perfectly but I felt they needed a little more time on the grill for my liking. They were just a little pink in the center. I prefer mine all gray. Not to the point I wouldn't still eat it though. Fries were like eating limp noodles! But tasted really good. I'd 100% return off it were just my hubby and I again. Pricing was a bit much. $46 for the cheeseburger and fries meal, bacon and cheeseburger meal & 1 iced tea. With highest % tip on the screen, which I think was 25%. If I were feeding my family of 4 that one meal would have been nearly $100. We couldn't afford to eat here. Their shakes are on the dry erase board. No price provided. When I asked, she quoted $8! Wow. I would pay $5, never $8! That's ludicrous! I suggest crisper fries, larger drinks (fast food small size cup filled to the top with ice doesn't give much drink), and cooking the burgers 1 min more. After that it'll be 5 star. I've attached pics of hubby's bacon cheeseburger, my cheeseburger & the meal with noodle fries.

We had Tiera as our cook and server for 3 of the 4 meals we had. She is an amazing cook and has such a great attitude! When you have someone serving you that makes it obvious that they love what they do it just makes the whole experience a million times better! We can’t wait to come back again in a few months even if it’s just to see her and eat the amazing food she makes!

Starving from the drive from Meridian. Was definitely worth the stop! The cook was awesome! Her food was spot on!!! Keep rocking it! She had a good spirit around her! God loves you! The dude looked reacher haha. He was awesome! Super chatty. The fries are soo good! Keep em crispy like you do! If I lived next door to that place I would be broke haha. Soo good! Wife had the BLT. I had a Crispy bacon ranch and I don’t ever eat that and I ate every drop. Eat, drink and go soak up the street at Trinity! Definitely will be back!

Friendly staff and patrons in the bar. Very welcoming. Good drinks, and the bar has a nice pool table and shuffleboard.

The Pine Cafe is one of 30 ride to destinations for the Pacfic NW Gran Tour. Lotta fun and sometimes there is food, good food, like today. Had the cheeseburger with American cheese and all the veggies with fries, tater tots was an option for the side but I got my fill of tots as a kid they just don't taste as good as fries to me. Server was pleasant. I was there during what could be called the lunch rush and I number 7 in line from what I could figure and it only took 25 minutes. The food isn't made until you order it so its hot and good.

Had lunch at Pine Cafe and Jenn, our waitress, took great care of us and the food was tasty. We sat outside on the front patio to enjoy the breeze and views. Also, the prices are SO much better than the cafe in Featherville. For $22 I had a pepper jack burger and fries with a well whiskey (Jim Bean) Coke double.

Best breakfast ever ! Tiera hard to miss her red hair , beautiful, funny the waitress, cook and muse is amazing. Chad is always cool to talk to. If you are in Pine stop in and enjoy a fantastic little spot ! Unbeatable breakfast and great coffee !

Stopped in for a cocktail on the way to Trinity and holy moly did Dom make me the best Brown Sugar Amaretto Sour!!!! Never would’ve expected such a crafty cocktail in the mountains but no disappointment here!! Well done!!!! EDIT: Came back for breakfast and Tiara absolutely killed it with the Chicken Fried Steak! We will be forever customers!
