This was a cute little place to stop. Loved the ambiance. Food was good, hot when we received it. The only slight downfall was the "courtesy charge" for using credit, but I understand it's a small business so every dime counts! We would definitely stop there again. read more

Favorite place ever, pizza is the best and the workers are always real and friendly. Great atmosphere, I would recommend this place to anyone. read more

I am gluten free and had no issues with the potatoe skins or burger on lettuce I ordered. The side salad without croutons I ordered instead of fries was literally just lettuce and dressing hence the 4 stars instead of 5. My partner ordered a Ruben that was huge and he can usually take down a meal and some of mine but could not finish it! Amazing and if I lived nearby I would be a regular! Highly recommend and the service was friendly and fast. read more

We were looking forward to trying this restaurant all day long after hiking and being starving, we passed up dinner at Timberline Lodge to eat here because of all the local reviews. We arrived about 1 hour and 10 minutes before they were due to close, walked up and saw a sign on the door "closing early due to staff shortage" - this was on a Saturday evening during peak summer season. We're long past COVID, I know things happen, but very disappointing. read more

Zig Zag Inn - the entrance to zig zag zag inn - Pizza Near Me - Welches, Oregon

I had driven by this place a hundred times on my way up to Mt. Hood or over to Bend and finally decided to stop in. My wife and I were in the mood for pizza and wine. We were not to leave disappointed. This place has a wonderfully cozy feel. Their house wine is cheap and taste great. But it's their pizza that is outstanding! On advice from another customer we were told to order a side of their house ranch and dip our crust in it. This took our pizza to an entirely new level! We've since been back here several times. Always sitting in our same booth. The service here has always been great as well. If you're in the mood for pizza, I highly recommend the Zig Zag Inn! read more

Zig Zag Inn - Pizza Near Me - Welches, Oregon

Came in late in the night 30min from closing. The lady was super nice, they only had one thing that wasn't available anymore cause again they're fairly close to closing so thats fully understandable. Our food came out amazing, didn't feel like it was rushed, and the burger I had (Mountain...) is quite possibly the best burger I've had in that price point ($12) Would definitely go again and would definitely recommend people to go visit this old style classic family owned diner/bar read more

Old school. That's the best way to describe the Zig Zag Inn. It's a diner meets old timey saloon kind of place. Filled with kitschy "dustables" and layers of stuff - it's a fun place to wander around and check out various items caught in a time warp. The food - well . . . not gourmet. Decent for what it is, but not super high of the food quality vs. food quantity ratio. The portion sizes are all huge - Fred Flintstone big - and perfect for a family dinner on the mountain. A word of caution - the pizzas are gigantic. You can under order for your family group. The servers are all super kind and attentive. They make certain you're taken care of during your visit. All and all - the sort of place you visit after a day of skiing or hiking, but not a place to go out of your way for a special dining experience. read more

It's a family tradition to stop and enjoy a gi-normous pizza at the Zig Zag Inn after snow tubing at Mount Hood Ski Bowl. We roll in with our brood of cold, hungry kids and are always well received and accommodated. I love the rustic cabin ambiance. It's super cozy and laid back. Don't forget quarters for the kids! They love playing the old school arcade games in the back. The pizzas are huge and filling with a thick crust. Gluten free? No problem, they have a GF crust! The wings are also very yummy!! I know they have a full menu with many options but we never make it past the pizza and wings. We've been there during quieter times and peek season. Sometimes it's a wait to be seated and sometimes we are seated immediately. We don't care either way, it's a must for the kids! Don't let my review scare you if kids aren't your thing. It's not Chuck E. Cheese, I assure you!! It's just a great family friendly restaurant that kids will also enjoy. Fully child-less options available in the bar/lounge in the rear. read more

Happy I stopped here the food was good the 2 ladies working here where extreme nice and apologetic for being understaffed but the service was great better than most small restaurants read more

What a find...we've driven by a ton of times, but finally made it as they were one of the only places open. A huge mistake that we hadn't been before and we'll definitely be back. Very cozy place started in 1947 with really awesome service and a solid & tasty menu. Definitely recommend the specials, the salmon linguini we had was spectacular! read more

This was a great restaurant for a family of 5. The service was extremely fast which we were lucky because the wait started right after. The locals seem to really enjoy this place by how crowded it became. The food was tasty and the ambience was relaxing. read more

What a great little spot. Walked over here after getting off the Hunchback trail, they didn't flinch when I walked in withy backpack. The Timberline burger is 2/3 lb of beef, perfect after a 2-day hike, but I couldn't finish the fries. Washed it all down with a craft ale, great way to end a hike!! Their prices are reasonable, the food is great. I'll be back! read more

A mountain local FAVORITE that doubles as a tourist hot spot on the run to and from Timberline or Meadows. We're here A LOT. I LOVE the staff here. So kind and upbeat! My go-to orders are generally their wonderful pizza, pot roast, lasagna, spaghetti & meatballs, calzones... on and on and on. Rustic knotty pine decor and lots of antlers. Separate bar. Cool Mt Hood and Big Foot swag at the front counter. Candy bars too! Every time I'm here, I feel like family. Thank you Zig Zag Inn! See you next week! XOXO read more

The pizza is amazing and the atmosphere is a fun mountain retreat. We have been and will continue to be a loyal customer:)

This is our family's favorite place on the mountain for a lot of reasons! The pizza is so good, the menu is varied so if you want other things you have options, the people are wonderful, and the atmosphere is so cozy and welcoming!!! The pot roast is soooo good!!! It is not fancy food, but it is yummy!!! read more

Super rustic, old mountain feel inside. Service was great: prompt and attentive. I had the Cobb, my buddy had a special. Both were big and great, kind of in the comfort food style. A table across the way got the biggest pizza I can remember seeing. read more

My family ordered 2 pizzas 1 calzone 1 onion order. The pizzas were decent the calzone was also decent quality, the Burger was where they fell way short.... I opened the box when I got to my cabin and the burger was soaked especially the bottom bun... the top bun was ripped in 75% the way down the middle .... the servers when I was sitting waiting for food with my dad they said something about sex ED and when I looked over they started laughing... I was disappointed with the food. I downloaded Yelp just to leave this review .... - Sunday December 27th - 6:30 read more

Went to Zig Zag Inn last night, our first time going, we sat in the bar. My wife and I watched the bartender pour our drinks, first the alcohol, then WATER, then the mixer. She did it to both our drinks. We won't go there again. read more

Came here after coming off the mountain getting our Christmas tree, there was ample parking and we were able to head strait to the back bar area after arriving. The staff was friendly and the place was clean. I was surprised by their large menu and decided on the prawn fettuccini. This came out with nice presentation but was very blah as far as flavor goes..... pretty much tasted like nothing. My husband ordered the chicken alfredo and said the same thing. My friend who go the french dip said it tasted like it was microwaved. Overall the food was horrible but not great either. The place itself was cute but I think next time I would skip this place and head further down the mountain for better quality food. read more

Found this great restaurant on a recent visit to the Mount Hood area. Great food and drinks at a great price. Had fish & chips on the first visit, very tasty. On the second visit, it was a Thursday night and during football season they have a great appetizer menu in the bar area on Monday and Thursday nights. Had small pizzas and jalapeño poppers which were both great. All this and outstanding service. What more can you ask? Do not miss this place if you are in the area! Also, it is in an old log cabin with great ambiance! read more

Came here after skiing and was starving. It smells amazing when you walk in and had a very charming feel, but the food fell flat. The prices are decent, but I had a Reuben that was mostly sauerkraut with some chunks of very chewy corned beef. My husband had a calzone that had very little meat in it and probably needed an extra 10 minutes in the oven. Nice place to stop in a pinch after a day on the mountain but wish the quality of food was better. read more

While initially an attractive spot, quickly was very disappointing by the quality of food. Everything was severely over cooked while beings undercooked at the same time. Service was okay, I would suggest looking elsewhere for a place to eat. read more

super affordable and yummy! their personal pizza is under 10$ and definitely uses quality ingredients, servers are always so nice to me too!

Lots of fun, very accommodating staff. The place has loads of history and there are tons of interesting swag in their gift shop. Pizza was excellent. Prices are fair for the portions. read more

This is our favorite breakfast place on the mountain! We like the food. The breakfasts are consistently good and I especially recommend the huckleberry pancakes! We also appreciate the attentive service, and the remodeled log cabin ambiance with the woods out back makes this place special. The major remodel done some dozen years ago on this historic building is first rate! (Though the Pandemic staffing shortages have taken a toll and the place is in need of some clutter removal.) read more

Everything here is very good and they have a large menu, from American to Italian. Pizza is very good. Log cabin and country decor.

Awesome!!! We ordered pizza, wings and a huge veggie salad. All Togo. They were super friendly and pizza was cooked perfectly with huge chunks of bacon. I'd hit up this place again!!! Warning, the medium is ginormous. We ate it for breakfast the next day (super good cold btw) and we didn't even finish the whole pizza. And I consider myself a pizza eater, I'm a finisher not a quitter. read more

Awesome place, awesome food. I recommend the chicken and waffles. The sausage gravy to dip the chicken in is heavenly! Highly recommend.

There are so many things I love about eating here! The pizza is bomb, I highly recommend trying it

Zigzag Inn has long been a favorite and has always been our goto place when up on the mountain. The pizza and burgers are among the best you can find and the staff and ambiance are perfect! We've recently moved up to Welches and have sampled more items off the menu - most of which are as good as the burgers and pizza. The pot roast melts in your mouth and I really enjoy Ya-Ya's family lasagna. Salads are served cold which makes for a nice added touch. The breakfast omelets are good and I love the French Toast. You can't go wrong stopping by the Zigzag Inn when on the mountain or even making a special trip up from Portland for a special meal! read more

Zigzag, OR, who thinks up these names?? like Zzyzx Rd. (formerly Camp Soda) off the 15Fwy in California. And the city of Azusa which was name so after they couldn't think of anything else and said hey "everything from A to Z in the USA" put it together and what do you get? AZUSA! (Well not really but it's an old joke) Ok enough of that. While in the Mt. Hood Village are the hubby and I stopped at the Zig Zag Inn for dinner. Walking in you immediately notice the antler chandeliers hanging overhead. At least it's the first thing I noticed as my husband was scheming on how to cut one down and run off with it.....obviously that didn't happen. Our server was an older gentlemen who gave me the feeling that he was about to make me an offer I couldn't refuse and if I did my body would never be found after being dumped in the Mt. Hood wilderness. But with that said he was actually very nice in an Italian Mob sort of way, but nice nonetheless. My husband ordered a 1/2 order of St. Louis pork ribs and I opted for Alex's burger. I got that one because it came with jalapeños and boy did it. He liked the ribs, well cooked and seasoned, with steamed veggies and coleslaw. The burger was good my only grip was that buy the time I got done with the 1st half of my burger the bottom bun of the other half was soaked and mushy with all the jalapeño juice. My only other grip which unfortunately is out of the control of the restaurant, so I don't hold it against them, were the people sitting in the table next to us. I did not particularly enjoy trying to eat as I listen to them talk about how one of their buddies got herpes from another one of their friends after they had unprotected sex....and that's just for starters. Yeah! I don't really care to hear what and individuals sexual proclivities entail during my meal thank you very much! read more

If someone asked me for a restaurant recommendation in the Mt. Hood area, Zig Zag Inn would be at the top of the list. This is one of the few places that we remembered fondly during our last vacation here two years ago. Zig Zag Inn is conveniently located on Hwy 26 in the tiny town of Zig Zag as you zig zag your way up the mountain. This decor is warm and cozy with many booths, antlers displayed prominently and a cozy fireplace. It is, or at least feels, like the kind of place where the locals come to eat. This restaurant serves hearty food; the perfect kind to nourish the body after a hard day of skiing, or in my case screaming for my life as I try to maneuver the Buttercup trail. We came as a group of 13 and the restaurant was extremely accommodating. We called ahead to make reservations and they allowed us to preorder our food. When we were seated at the restaurant, the food came quickly. I highly recommend doing this if you are with a large group. We ordered a variety of appetizers and entrees. Everyone was happy with their selection. The highlights for our group was the fried oysters, fried zucchini, and fried mozzarella sticks, onion rings.... pretty much anything fried! These guys really know how to work a fryer. The other entrees were not fantastic, but very good considering the location and price. Everyone seemed to enjoy their meal. Also, be aware that the large pizza is very large! We ordered a large for our 5 kids, but I think the pizza could have fed an entire village. This is definitely a great place to stop for a hearty meal, a cold glass of beer, and friendly service. read more

It is always hard to downgrade a place, especially, when you have been going in there for so long and may not be done going in there. We went up here when my sister came to visit and I kept telling her to order the rib eye, they are great. Three of us ordered the rib eye steaks and all three were extremely tough cuts of meat. My son had the new york strip and it was super tender. My sister had a plate full of tough tendon, that is when my husband said his last rib eye was this way. There is just no reason for three bad steaks coming out. I did ask if she wanted to go back a few days later and give them another shot on a different dish. she wasn't going for it. read more

What a great find. I was not expecting much from this place. But it ended up being one of my favorite "casual" meal spots during our visit to Portland! We stopped by on our way back from Mt. Hood. Being from Hawaii (and also being a bit sheltered) meant that I had just gotten to snowboard, let alone SEE SNOW for the FIRST TIME. I will not divulge my age, but I figure that I am somewhat of a rare case. Anyway, I took a beating up there. I had face-planted more than once (goggle imprint only) and swore to my family that I had minor brain trauma and frostbite. They simply laughed and looked through more photos of me, stuck in the snow on my back like a cockroach, in my puffy red jacket with my snowboard in the air. So I told them that If I wasn't going to a hospital, I better be going somewhere to have a good meal. I got that good meal at Zig Zag Inn. Their pizzas were great! The small "personal pan" was more than enough for one. We got a medium (greek one with the artichoke, feta, olives and red onions) and it took up a third of the table! My fiance enjoyed his hot roast beef sandwich with mashed potatoes. It was doused in rich, dark gravy. Yumm. My sister enjoyed the fish & chips....huge chunks of fish with crispy fries and slaw. My dad's halibut sandwich seemed similar....both were good-sized portions. The garlic toasts that accompanied most of the meals was so good. Thick slabs of buttery goodness. So wait. Here's the kicker: you want to know what I had, right? Yea, you do. Since I claimed that I had minor brain trauma from snowboarding, and if this was my last meal to have, it should have been something extraordinary or out-of-this-world, right? Well......first, I asked for a hot tea. And what I ordered for lunch happened to be the most unsuspecting dish of all. I had.................[are you in suspense yet?]..........the cobb salad. It was DELICIOUS. It blew me away. The chicken was flavorful and juicy and cut into thin slivers. The lettuce was fresh and crisp. And it was topped off with tomatoes, avocado, olives, and hard boiled egg. Even their Blue Cheese was good (and I always get it on the side since I usually do not like BlueCheese). And now I'm just getting way too into things that normal people probably won't appreciate, but can I also add that their dressing (I asked for ranch) was perfectly chilled, and of perfect consistency? And that my friends, is how a cobb salad should always be done. I would go back and face that mountain (repeat on the bruises and minor brain trauma) just to get that salad again. read more
