Deep down the road along Highway 2 there's a little burger joint that's been family owned and operated since 1968. Just like the sign says. A haven set in the beautiful Cascade Mountains, miles away from corporate joints like McDonalds and Burger King. An ideal spot to stop if you're heading East to go skiing at Stevens Pass or coming back home to the West.

With an expansive list of milkshake flavors, you're bound to find something that piques your curiosity. I didn't get one myself, because I didn't want to have it influence my burger review, but next time I'm heading this way you can bet I will grab one!

The sign says it all. When I go to a new place I request the "most popular" burger on the menu. This time I was directed to the Deluxe. In full disclosure I had them add bacon, because, well, it's bacon.
Dig Right In!

I was so hungry I didn't take a photo of the burger until I was deep into mastication. The Deluxe comes with all the aforementioned trimmings as noted on the previous image. The burger is fairly basic, cooked on a flat top. Standard Franz sesame seed bun, lightly toasted. American cheese, mayo, shredded lettuce, tomatoes, onion, mayo and relish. Added bacon to keep my doctor happy. All and all I am glad I drove right past the McDonalds a few miles back. This sandwich will scratch your burger itch.

While waiting for my grub I met two awesome dudes. Local hikers who come by and order the burger dip on a regular basis. Next time I come out this way I'm gonna snag it up and get one of them fancy milkshakes. But for now, it's on to the final review of the Zeke's Deluxe.
Verdict?
The Deluxe from Zeke's is about as basic as a burger can come. From the meat and bun to the produce and sauce, nothing on this burger is going to blow you away. But you'd be a fool to pass up this little oasis of burgers set deep in the mountains. It quite possibly is the best burger in 10 miles. At 9 points, the Deluxe Burger from Zeke's gains a silver trophy from this guy.
