Here in Oregon, our love for Tillamook Creamery runs deep. This only-in-Oregon creamery is, pardon the pun, the crème de la crème; you simply won’t find better cheese or ice cream anywhere else. While most known for its factory tours and epic cheese market, the creamery’s Food Hall restaurant is in a league all its own. With grilled cheese sandwiches, fried cheese curds, and mac ‘n cheese sure to tantalize any turophile’s taste buds, plus the creamiest, dreamiest, hand-scooped shakes and ice cream around, Oregon’s Tillamook Creamery truly dishes up some of the best fare in the state.

Visiting Tillamook Creamery is a quintessential part of growing up in Oregon.
