Tokeland is a tiny coastal town in Pacific County. With a population of 151, it’s safe to say there’s not much to it. However, it does happen to be home to Washington’s oldest hotel. The Tokeland Hotel dates all the way back to 1885, but the onsite restaurant is much newer… and it’s worth driving all the way to the coast just to dine there.
In 1858, George and Charlotte Brown settled in this area, homesteading 1400 acres, caring for crops and livestock while raising their children.
This is why you'll see everything from fresh oysters to fried green tomatoes on the menu. The menu changes seasonally, but you'll always find plenty of seafood and Southern inspired goodness on it.
Heather and Zac keep a big, wild garden on the property, so some of the produce is as fresh as it gets.
They also have chicken, miniature pigs, a rabbit, and an adorable yellow lab named Gus here. Heather still owns the Wandering Goose, so it's safe to say this family stays busy.
Come try the decadence at the Tokeland Hotel restaurant... and save room for dessert.
