From Fox News Review, May 18, 2010

Given the isolation of Mount St. Helens, it's understandable that the surrounding
region lacks for notable food finds. You will find at least one quiet, good, and highly
atmospheric restaurant along Spirit Lake Highway. As its name indicates,
19 Mile
House
(9440 Spirit Lake Hwy., Kid Valley; 360-274-8779) lies at the 19 mile point of the
road. The rustic, riverside restaurant is just about a 15-minute drive beyond the Mount
St. Helens Visitor Center at Seaquest State Park, perfect if you're en route to or from
Johnston Ridge.

The kitchen turns out tasty chow, the specialty being a daunting tower of meat called
the St. Helens Burger, which comprises a quarter-pound beef patty, a fried egg, a slab
of ham, both Cheddar and Pepper Jack cheese, a pile of fresh local greens, onions,
and tomato, and a special house sauce. Slightly spicy house-made chips make a
perfect accompaniment. Dessert is the true highlight here - 19 Mile House specializes
in fresh cobblers, with
blackberry or strawberry-rhubarb among the delectable
options. You can eat inside the rustic dining room hung with volcano souvenirs, but in
warm weather it's preferable to grab a seat on the veranda and admire the rushing
rapids of the North Fork Toutle River while trying to imagine the torrential volcanic
debris that gushed through here following Mount St. Helens' eruption.
