eatery recommendations - Seattle to Paradise?

Finger lickin' foodies that we are, John M and I were wondering if some of the Paradise regulars would be willing to post their recommendations for restaurants and coffee shops along the route from Seattle to Paradise. Or short reviews for that matter. One of my long time favorites, The Wild Berry, is now closed, and has been for a while I gather.

What are your favorite stops?

Scale Burgers in Elbe. I've been eating there for as long as I remember...even before I started skiing!

Top Choice: Overload Burger, Fries & Strawberry-Chocolate Shake

Warning: Warm days it fills with tourists & locals and the wait can be troublesome.

Avoid: Chili Dog Platter (AKA the 'Splatter Platter' - nuff said)

I like the Copper Creek Inn. Berry tasty breakfast. Dinner and lunch are pretty good too (veg friendly options too). Plus, on a nice sunshiny day you can sit outside and enjoy a nice cold brew and some foodz after a hard day on the mountain

Ahh - a subject this geezer can sink his teeth into (no pun intended)
On the breakfast side of the tour we favor the Tall Timbers in Eatonville (on Mashell, one block west of the main drag) for great "local logger" fare.  Or, if a place closer to Rainier is preferred, the Overland, east of Ashford (next to the Nisqually Lodge) is now putting out good breakfasts as well.
A bit further east (just before you get to the Wild Berry, Larry) I noticed that Alexander's has a breakfast sign out now; thinking of giving them a try myself sometime.
On the return trip all of the above also do a commendable job with lunch/dinner fare, plus the Mexican restaurant in Eatonville (between the Standard station and the motel) puts out great food and I am always impressed with the 'hustle" of the wait staff there.
IF you can hold out that long on the way home the Flying Tomato at 198th on Hwy 161 in Graham has award winning pizza and other italian.

The Overland in  Ashford is a good choice and I think they still open at 6 am.Try the home made freezer jam on the biscuits -mmm - The dinner portions are huge--- Never left there hungry !!!

I'll second the Overland.
There is a funky Taquieria Autobusa on Meridian about 112th with outdoor seating. No beer but unbelieveably the convenice store next door has a open patio that adjoins the taquireo tables. The condiment tray is peppers and pepper variations.
I go there to wonder at the sheetmetal work .
Enjoy!
