"In a region that’s not exactly rife with diners, Shari’s is the de facto stand-in that’s at least more local than a Denny’s. Open 24 hours, 365 days a year, its stuffed hashbrowns or marionberry pie can be had any time the fancy strikes. The casual restaurant exudes woodsy ‘70s-era charm (it was founded in 1978 in Hermiston) but there are locations as far south as San Bruno and far east as Idaho Falls." - Krista Garcia
