Loretta's Northwesterner in South Park

Do you like Hamburgers and Fries?  Do you like to eat them in an Airstream Trailer?  Then we found the perfect spot to do this!!!!


We happened upon it while googling a place to eat in South Park.  Yes, I know it is not Renton, but my Mom's name is Loretta, and my beautiful spouse has a thing for Airstream trailers, and, Azzizza their great waitress, lives in Renton.  There you have it.


 Its ranking had 4-5 stars from all of its reviews.  And, they mentioned that there was  a trailer parked in back for us to dine in.  


Say no more.  We were off and driving.  In reality, South Park is only about 10 minutes from Renton.  


The Airstream lived up to the billing.  It was a funky, eclectic, dining room for a small group of people that allowed you privacy from the other patrons.  


I asked Azzizza what they were famous for.  The answer was fast and true:  Tavern Burger and Fries.  I ordered the double, and we split the fries.  Do you remember when fries were hand cut and deep fried?  Those past days are back.  The burger taste like I cooked it on my weber BBQ and the fries were big, thick, and pure heaven.  You need to stop everything and get over there and eat this Combo.  To die for.



As you can see there is plenty of covered outside seating in the back.  The man at the outside bar had his laptop out and was surfing the web.  I do not know if there is WiFi. 

Once again, probably the best burger and fries combo not in Renton that I have tasted in many years.

This is a Bar and Grill.  No Minors allowed.
Did you say BREAKFAST?

Liberty Cafe

Want some conversation and coffee? Then head down to the Liberty Cafe and say hi to Mike. But, bring Cash !! No checks, No Debit or Credit Cards.  This is an old fashion Coffee house where coins and paper money are king.    


Food consists of Soup, Sandwiches, and Baked Goods.  But it is the Coffee  that brings you back.  His coffee is unique and the small or big talk is even better. 


If Mike is not there, then his barista crew will fix you up.  And late at night, when the moon is just right, if you are lucky, you might catch sight and talk to Johnny!! 


Monday's are Magic Night.  That's right, the card game, "Magic" was invented in Renton and groups of people get together on this night to play the game.  Everyone is invited, just bring your own cards. 


There is also an open microphone night, but you will have to check with Mike to find out what day and time.


There are books, magazines, newspapers, games (cribbage, cards, dominoes, board, etc.) to choose from.  And don't forget the small talk.  Topics range from local to global.  This is not a corporate coffee clone.  This is an oasis where you can hang out and decompress.

Mike has been around Renton for a long time. He has worked for 20+ years developing his special kind of latte and espressos.  He could easily be mayor of the town.  If you happen to be standing outside with him, he is constantly waving to passing cars who honk or yell hello to him.  The man is the  Rock Star of this Caffinated Community.


I have expounded long enough.  I need a cup of coffee.  See you at the Liberty Cafe.
