Travel Back In Time With A Trip To The 59er Diner In Washington
Washington’s iconic 59er diner sits just 15 miles outside of the Bavarian village of Leavenworth, but it feels like it’s in the middle of nowhere… or better yet, like a relic from the past has traveled through time to present you with a delicious burger and shake. This is a good old-fashioned 1950s-themed eatery, and it’s truly reminiscent of a simpler time. Stop by and see what the hype is about — don’t worry, poodle skirts and saddle shoes are optional.

If you're heading to Lake Wenatchee State Park, stopping by this place is a must.

However, it was completely rebuilt and restored, leading to a grand re-opening in 2018.

The 59er Diner briefly opened a location in Cashmere. Unfortunately, it didn't survive the turbulence of 2020. Luckily, the original location has never looked better.

If you hear your favorite song, you can probably even convince the staff to turn it up.

That's probably because the farm fresh eggs come from the on-site chicken, most of the vegetables come from the on-site garden or local farmers, and everything is made to order.

However, whether you order a hearty breakfast or a healthy lunch, we highly recommend washing it down with a world famous milkshake. This is one place that always gets them right.

They aren't all 50s themed like the Big Bopper Bungalow (pictured here), but they are all cozy, comfortable, and reasonably priced.
If you’re planning a trip to Leavenworth or Wenatchee State Park this year, bring the family to the 59er Diner. This is one local spot we hope stays around for a long time.
