The long, lonesome road down central Washington along the Columbia River has some surprises – none bigger than the big red building awaiting in the city of Entiat. Cooper’s General Store and Cafe has become a one-stop shop for anything travelers might need as they continue through the state. However, the attached cafe is so much more than a place to fill up. It’s become a destination for meat-loving foodies from around the Pacific Northwest. So drive in and chow down!
The big red awning of Cooper’s General Store can be seen as soon as you enter Entiat - and you’ll want to stop.

However, the true star might be their pulled pork barbecue, which is slow-cooked and intensely flavorful.

Even the chicken legs are wrapped in bacon before being cooked! You won’t want to go back to unwrapped chicken any time soon.
