If you live in Oregon, or ever visit Oregon, one of the best places to tour through is Silverton, Oregon. It's the same location that Silver Creek Falls i located and offers a
Monk Monastery, close to the
Tulip Festival, and also offers some of the most quaint and downright cool places to eat.
One of the ones we stopped at recently was the
Creekside Grill. Some restaurants just pick a cool name and go with it, but this restaurant actually sits on top of the Silver Creek therefore gained it's name "
Creekside Grill."
Along side the creek we enjoyed watching Canadian and mallard ducks taking flight from the water from time to time as we ate. And when Skylar's hamburger came, it was quite a large burger for a little nine-year-old, but he knocked it out.
He was pretty stuffed afterward though.
If you travel west and find yourself in
Silverton, Oregon, give the
Creekside Grill a try. Be sure and ask to sit over the creek though, or it won't be the full experience.
