So my family and I decided to come to this little cafe from hiking. It had relatively good reviews, so we decided why not. The diner is a strange combination of Vietnamese and American dishes. When I went there, there were only 4 people working in the restaurant (which kinda makes sense since it was small): two working the front, two in the kitchen. The (I presume) owner of the restaurant was a charming Vietnamese lady, who was very friendly. The booths in the restaurant had rather uncomfortable seating and backs.We ordered 2 orders of steamed pot stickers and 3 Mi Quang Pho. After about 10-15 minutes, we finally got out pot stickers. Somehow in the kitchen, they misread the order ticket and thought we ordered fried pot stickers, despite the cafe not being very busy at the time. After realizing the order was wrong, the other lady working the front decided to buy it for her "lunch", which I found a little odd. After another 20-30 minutes, the Pho came. The Mi Quang Pho is an abnormal pho to say the least. It doesn't contain bean sprouts, usual herbs found in pho, and onions. It mostly contains different types of meat (mostly overcooked meat), noodles that are flatter and wider than they should be and are clumped together. Altogether it was extremely salty.Despite our telling the owner that we were in a rush, the food still took almost 40 minutes to come out.

I live in gold Bar and never go here because of the slow, if non-existent "service". I never got to try the food because 25 minutes is too long to wait for the female server to take my order when there are only 2 tables occupied in the entire restaurant. When I complained as I was leaving, the friend she was lounging around chatting with at the front said to me with a sneer "What do you think this is? McDonalds?"

We had the nicest time stopping here --- in fact, we liked it so much that after our coffee and our hike, we went back for the ice cream! Do *not* miss the cherry ice cream.

Okay, let's be honest. McDonald's is iconic. One knows what to expect. Same food, a drive through,etc.But, some stand out, either good or bad. We have entered some and immediately turned around and walked right back out. They were not up to cleanliness standards or service was non-existent.But then there are the great ones. The one in Whitehorse,Yukon, for instance has a beautiful, cozy interior. Very calming. We have fond memories of the one in Duluth, MN, albeit from years ago, and there have been others. And this McDonald's also stands out. Why? The people. There was a server at the front counter who was friendly, and went out of her way to be of help. The order was accurate and quick. And the interior was comfortable and clean. It was a pleasant respite from driving. Will it ever beat a four star restaurant? Unlikely, but then, it's not trying to compete with them. So, if you're ever in Sultan, WA, a "blink and you'll miss it town" along highway 2 through the Cascade Mountains, the McDonald's here is a comfortable and convenient pit stop if you eat fast food.As an added bonus, just a little way west of it, along highway 2, on the north side of the road is a nursery/garden center with an unusual fence. It's all skis and snowboards.
