Cousins' Restaurant & Saloon

Columbia River Gorge


'Hello cousin!' might be the first thing you hear after coming through the mooing and baaing sounds the front doors make. Specializing in home-style comfort food like meatloaf, chicken pot pie and turkey with dressing, this old-fashioned place offers plenty of other good food, with large portions and friendly service. Great for breakfast.
