Fodor's Expert Review Beckie's Cafe

You can get breakfast, lunch, or dinner at this rustic roadhouse diner 15 miles west of Crater Lake's Southern Entrance, but no one will fault you for skipping your vegetables and going straight for the dessert. Since 1926 Beckie's homemade pies have been a must-have treat for travelers on their way to or from the park. Among the year-round selections, very-berry and coconut cream are favorites; savor fresh peach or huckleberry when the fruit is in season—and don't forget to ask for à la mode. Across the street and open Friday–Sunday in summer for lunch and dinner, Beckie's Chuck Wagon is a food cart of sorts (it's designed to resemble a covered wagon) that serves tasty barbecue, from pulled pork to brisket.
