"First opened in 1975, Bette’s Place is a Hood River institution — the classic small-town diner is always packed with regulars and serves a massive breakfast and lunch menu that runs the gamut from huevos rancheros to good, old-fashioned club sandwiches. Portions are huge, with Frisbee-sized cinnamon rolls and a fantastic baked goods selection that features award-winning house-made pies filled with local fruit like marionberry and cherry. It’s also known as the “friendliest restaurant in town,” so expect a cheery, charming reception paired with a cup of coffee." - Molly Allen
