BURGERVILLE!!!!!!!!!! It's my absolute favorite "fast food" place, though they don't like to call it fast food, something more cheesy like "diner food, fast." They are a chain, but a very small regional one. The furthest south is in Albany, so you would've missed it in Eugene. I forget what the furthest north is, possibly Portland or Vancouver, so getting it in the Dalles meant you got basically your last chance at it! Yay!
What I love about them is they do seasonal stuff - so when the Walla Walla sweet onions are in season, they hand-make, every morning, fresh sweet onion rings. They do this delicious chocolate hazelnut milkshake when the filberts* are in season, etc. They've also made a big push to use only local, fresh ingredients, including their beef, which I really appreciate.
*I don't know if you know this, but hazelnut is basically just the more appealing marketing name for filberts. I grew up near filbert orchards so I'm all sniffy about that. They're filberts, dammit! But I still find myself using hazelnut.
