Fodor's Expert Review Restaurant at Stehekin Valley Ranch

Hearty meals in the rustic log ranch house, served at polished wood tables, include buffet dinners of steak, ribs, hamburgers, fish, salad, beans, and dessert. Note that breakfast is served 7 to 8:30, lunch is noon to 1, and dinner is 5:30 to 6:30; show up later than that, and you'll find the kitchen is closed. If you want to enjoy a drink with your meal, bring your own alcohol—it's not otherwise served. For guests not staying at the ranch, dinner reservations are required, and transportation from the Stehekin Landing costs $10 each way.
