Donuts Beer Dundee’s Bar & Grill What do donuts, beer, and vegetarian burgers have in common? All three can be found at Dundee’s Bar and Grill.While this may seem unusual, this eclectic offering is part of their growing success. Dundee’s has three restaurants which are seamlessly connected: A donut shop; family style restaurant; and a bar. The restaurant menu features everything from sub sandwiches to a variety of burgers including beef, chicken, seafood, and yes, vegetarian. “Dundee’s is known for its great pizza, too,” says General Manager Michael Thomas. Other favorites served here include seafood meals, chicken and steaks. For those with a sweet tooth or needing an early-morning pick-me-up, Dundee’s Donut Shop offers a variety of donuts and other baked goods.Their specialty is Cravers – individual sized cheesecakes in either tangy key lime or decadent Godiva chocolate. Breakfast in the donut shop includes the American basics of eggs, biscuits and gravy, French toast and assorted sides. And, in the Dundee’s spirit, there is naturally a great breakfast pizza. Beverages range from the classic milk shake to a full service bar.“Our bar serves creative cocktails,” adds Michael, who also bartends.“We’re best known for ‘The Bucket’ which is served in a sand pail with a shovel. It is meant for two and includes four kinds of rum and four kinds of juices.” Best of all, the customer gets to keep the bucket and shovel as a souvenir. The restaurant offers another unusual treat. A number of their booths are equipped with personal flat screen television sets – a great feature for family meals. And family is ultimately what Dundee’s is all about. CM

Bigfoot' s Means Big Flavor Bigfoot’s Steakhouse
B
ring a Bigfoot-size appetite to this cozy lodge-style restaurant. When you order steak so tender you can cut it with a fork, and so juicy and flavorful that you forget to add steak sauce, you know you have found something special. At Bigfoot’s, steaks are the ultimate in flavor, color and texture.The chefs take pride in offering Midwestern corn-fed Angus beef, right from the heart of beef country, where conditions are ideal for raising premium cattle. Grain-feeding gives beef superior marbling, which makes it the most tender and tastiest beef anywhere. Dry aging draws out perfection in flavor and texture. According to owners Jack and Janis Riester, Prime Rib is a customer favorite. Slow roasting overnight in the oven creates a succulent roast packed with flavor. Served with horseradish sauce and meat jus, it is the ultimate. Other favorites include a tender bacon-wrapped Tenderfoot filet mignon,
Trail’s End porterhouse (the original trail rider’s favorite), and Ridgetop ribeye, renowned for its flavor. Cowboy Tri-tip pepper steak with mushroom Béarnaise sauce is another winner. Fresh from the sea come halibut Fish & Chips, grilled salmon with Oregon Chardonnay dill sauce, and tender fried razor clams, among many others. Grilled Willapa Bay oysters are also on the menu. Made from scratch daily, nourishing soups, such as Prime rib vegetable, turkey noodle and creamy clam chowder will take the chill off.Also featured on the menu are pastas, logger-size burgers, sandwiches and crisp garden salads. Save room for dessert. LM

Celebrating
16
Years Sam’s Seaside Café
W
hen Karen and Eric Nelson opened Sam’s Seaside Café in July 1996, they named the restaurant after their son, Sam, who was then just two years old. Feeling a bit left out, their second son Luke suggested that they name the lounge after him – and Luke’s Lizard Lounge was born. Sam’s oozes Seaside retro-chic, with mustard yellow walls, cozy booths, wicker chairs and Casa Blanca style ceiling fans. Luke’s Lizard Lounge is a classic bar where friends and visitors gather to sample specialty drinks and enjoy Happy Hour. Sam’s motto is “Close enough to the beach to bring it with you,” and it’s true. The famous Seaside Prom is just steps away. The food is classic. Hand-cut French fries are some of the best around. Potato chips are also made in house. Housemade soups include thick creamy clam chowder, spicy chili topped with cheese and onions, and a freshly made soup of the day. Charbroiled burgers, including a garlic lover’s burger smothered in crushed garlic, and the Big Joe Burgers are thick and juicy. A variety of hot and cold “sam-wiches” include a Pulled Pork sandwich with housemade barbecue sauce and the “Mac Daddy” made with roast turkey and melted cheese. Sam’s Seaside Café serves their full menu every day from 10am to closing. Happy Hour runs from 4 to 6pm. LM

It’s All About
Seafood Bell Buoy of Seaside
o
ffering the freshest local and wild seafood on the coast, the Bell Buoy seafood market has been a Seaside institution since 1946.“We do it all,” say owners and brothers Jon and Terry Hartill, who specialize in food from the sea. In addition to fresh seafood (including Dungeness crab, razor clams and Manila clams, among many other seasonal favorites), house-smoked and canned seafood are also specialties. The Hartills use a mixture of hardwoods to smoke a variety of seafood, including Willapa Bay oysters, tuna, sturgeon, smoked salmon jerky and razor clams. They offer four types of smoked wild salmon, including brown-sugar glazed Teriyaki salmon and the spicy black-pepper salmon -- all of which are made with locally caught fish.“We are a community based business,” says Jon Hartill.“We work with all the local fishermen, from Chinook and Ilwaco up north and south to Garibaldi.” Located next door to the retail market is Bell Buoy’s Seafood Restaurant, which features homemade clam chowder and golden fish & chips made with your choice of seafood, including cod, halibut, salmon and tuna. Crab and shrimp cocktails are a customer favorite. Enjoy your fresh seafood at a picnic table by the river, or order it to go and head for the nearby beach. If you love fresh seafood, Bell Buoy of Seaside is the place to go. Locally owned, this seafood market and restaurant business has been growing for 60 years. Look for the little blue building with the retro ‘Bell Buoy Crab’ sign, as you pass through the south end of Seaside.“This is a landmark for people who love great seafood, and we take great pride in keeping it going,” says Jon.
