Sugarpine Drive-in - Troutdale

Absolutely one of my favorite food places in the area. Everything they serve is incredible, and their vegan/dairy-free ice cream is just delicious, and a perfect after hike treat. Their food is worth the wait, but on the busy summer days it's better to park and walk up for your online order if you could find a parking spot. They have been doing a great job handling the pandemic and still providing delicious food. Anyone complaining about the 20% gratuity doesn't understand or care about the plight of the small restaurant business, and I sure don't mind helping such a unique and wonderful spot outlast this extremely difficult time.

Who knew a drive-in could have such good food?! Stopped here on a rainy day after a hike in the Gorge. You order at the counter and they bring the food out to you or there is a drive through window where you can order ice cream and other goodies. I had the Sugarpine Salad and it was probably the best salad I've ever had. So many colorful raw and roasted veggies and edible flowers and it was very filling. We also tried the Taste the Rainbow Sandwich and it was crunchy and full of flavor. For dessert, had the ice cream special-strawberry melon dairy free coconut milk ice cream. Normally I'm not a big fan of soft serve, but this was smooth and incredible. Food came out quickly and there were tables under the canopy so eating with the rain wasn't an issue. Great service too!

Sugarpine is AMAZING!!! Seriously worth the drive from Portland even if you don’t continue on through the gorge. The use high quality local ingredients and it shines through. They also do update the menu seasonally so there is a great variety to try.

Hidden Gem! Order Online.Their menu has good quality food and nothing disappoints. We came here twice and both times we received amazing service, delicious food and the yummiest ice cream sundaes. They take covid seriously here and thankfully they have a wonderful system to follow social distancing rules.

Pleasant ride on the Sandy River with a fantastic menu with modern nutritional elements. Vegan soft creams was a highlight like the autumn harvested vegetable sandwich. Perfect for walking near or at any time.
