Alpine Outpost Tollgate Store

This place is a neat experience if you have the time and inclination to drive up to Tollgate. The atmosphere has charm and was quiet when I was there. Great service, although don't expect a full breakfast menu on Thursday as that's restocking day. They do guarantee their burgers and fries on Thursdays. Hot cocoa is great, the French toast is good with a generous amount of cream cheese, the hashbrowns are hand chopped and a neat texture.

So beautifully decorated. Ordered chicken fry basket and Mac and cheese burger. Food was ok but took a while to get our order. Lady that greeted us was very nice and even told us about huckleberry picking... but seemed like the other staff lady was timid and not very attentive.

My husband and I were on a day trip and starting to get hungry, we stopped at the outpost. Thinking it was a convenient store, we were pleasantly surprised at the treats, the pastries, the pies, all homemade. We shared a fruit custard tart in the dining room, as we looked at the menu and decided we'd make it back for dinner. We're glad we did! The staff was friendly, helpful and very timely with our food and drinks. The decor was quaint and the Bigfoot foot prints on the wall were fun to look at! We'll definitely be back for the prime rib!

Wow! Please stop at this fabulous outpost! What a GEM! Amazing people with an incredible menu. The food was delicious and came out with beautiful presentation. All of the flavors were amazing and we were grateful to stumble across this rustic spot while on a scenic drive in the Umitalla National Forest. Thank you! We hope to be back again someday.

Beautiful drive to this cozy little place! Excellent food! I ordered the patty melt with a salad. The homemade bread is fantastic on the sandwich. All the flavors are amazing. Great little atmosphere and friendly staff as well.
