    Fast delicious food at an affordable price!

    While staying in town we were looking for a quick bite to eat after a long day of exploring the local waterfalls. Our hotel was down the street so we wandered down after reading good reviews. Our family shared a couple double bacon cheese burgers, mozzarella sticks and curly fries. The food came out hot & fresh and super fast. Everything tasted great. After sitting out front and eating we started to clean up to go get our ice cream cones. Little did we realize they had closed early just minutes ago. I had two boys that were looking forward to the ice cream so I went to the window with a bunch of other people who had just pulled in expecting them to be open too. Even though they were cleaning up the gentlemen made our ice cream. We appreciated that even though they were closing early they honored the people still there. The small ice cream cones were as amazing as everyone says. Give Eastwind a try if you're nearby but don't trust the hours you may see posted online.

    Yummy soft serve

    Only drive thru open right now and long lines but moves quickly. The soft serve ice cream is yummy and the employee was super friendly and we were about the last car served! We ordered a small most people ordered a large. The large is obnoxiously large but looked so cool! The ice cream was yummy!

    Must Stop for ice cream

    There ice cream cones are hugh, delicious and lots of flavor choices. Very reasonable price. They also have burgers, fries, etc, but I think they are most popular for their ice cream. Right now it's drive thru only, but they do take charge cards/cash. Parking available.

    Worth the drive

    Took the staff for a ride from Portland to Cascade Locks just to get an ice cream cone. Even with corona virus they were friendly and quick. The ice cream cones are huge.

    Trip with my niece from Kansas

    I love this place ,I've be going here for so many years I cant remember, probably 40 plus years,I know it changed hands I think only once. I have visited with the owner and his family,they are so nice,their son is the type of kid,you would be proud to call him yours,now the food,love their chicken fried steak sandwich,my favorite also like the pork sandwich and their hamburgers and fries are just as good. My grandaughter always want to stop for ice cream ,I cant eat a small one ,the prices are very good,I've never had a bad thing there.i go to eastern Oregon 4 to 5 times a year and I stop both ways and have something. I pray this place stays open for ever .
