We’re always excited when we see new restaurants, bars, and other businesses opening here in Washington. But sometimes, nothing beats discovering an old school eatery that has been around for decades, or visiting a tried-and-true neighborhood gem for the 50th time, knowing whatever you order will be delicious.

Depending on what part of the state you call home, The Net Drive-In in Mount Vernon could be considered both. And if you have yet to visit this roadside stand, check it out the next time you’re in Skagit County.

The Net Drive-In is located on Washington State Route 536 in Mount Vernon.

Simply drive up, order your meal, and go, or enjoy it at one of the few outdoor tables.
At The Net, the food is always made fresh, and you'll definitely be able to taste the difference.
