This is as real as it gets! Casey's is an old fashioned restaurant with REAL food. My favorite is Chicken Fried Steak breakfast (anytime of the day) with a biscuit (they are giant) and smothered in raspberry freezer jam. I'm drooling right now!

My husband said this is as close as you can get to "CHEERS" - almost expect to see Norm sitting at the bar with a drink. We noticed that people go here to visit, enjoy food and socialize - not much phone surfing going on. I would categorize this as a mid range (expense wise) restaurant. I love their steamer clams, best ranch dressing and salad in the county, and Jack's Ribs are the only ones I eat because you can peel them off with a fork!

My husbands favorite birthday treat is an Apple Crunch Bagel, Dutch Bros coffee and watching the sunrise on the tarmac patio on the airport. Pure bliss.

Absolutely the best burger in town - bar atmosphere without the smoke! Great service, but again... the burgers and cross cut fries... oh my! Famous for the Frog Burger, but I like the avocado burger myself. Live music occasionally.

Wonderful place to bowl and a fun arcade area for the kids. Cool Cosmo Bowling features special effects lights - especially enjoyable. Splitz Family Grill & Sports bar has food, snacks and spirits.

Fun place for a sandwich, beer or brunch on the weekends. Atmosphere. Super neat place. I've heard the huckleberry mimosa is "to die for".

Sightseeing

I grew up spending many memorable weekends at Diamond Lake. Swimming, boating and fishing is amazing! You can rent everything there. There is a paved bike path around the lake and a place to rent horses nearby. In the winter, add snow machines, cross country skiing and the awesome tube hill (best part is a lift takes you to the top!).

See wild animals from the safety of your vehicle in a wild type environment. Definitely not a zoo. Such a treasure. They are world famous for their cheetah breeding program.

One of Douglas County's greatest treasures is the Umpqua River. One of the few rivers in the world that begin and end in the same county! White water rafting, swimming, fishing, sight seeing - just so wonderful!

Beautiful golf course in Sutherlin. Lots of hiking here, consider a golf cart, and often there is wildlife nearby - not the dangerous kind! Take a few extra balls for the water hazards.
