Polar Bear
Hamburger restaurant
👍👍 Love their burgers, stop here regularly on drives between WA & CA. Patties pressed nicely to promote crust. Buns thin and soft; they do their job without getting in the way. Libbey the 1000 islands since in combo with the pickles. Just a really good solid burger that will drip onto your fingers.

Lava Beds Visitor Center
Visitor center
👍👍 So fascinating! Make sure to block out a minimum of 3-4 hours to explore, but ideally stay the whole day or camp at one of the nearby sites. Be sure to stop by the visitor center first and grab a big flashlight (they lend them out for free) because your phone light won’t cut it, and if it dies you d...

Captain Jack's Stronghold
American restaurant
👍 Out of nowhere. We were tired and hungry and needed to park 2 Toy Haulers. Burgers were great, BLT, great. Place was filled with locals I assume, and they were all super friendly. Thank you

Señor Tequila
Mexican restaurant
👍👍 Stopped in at Senor Tequila on the recommendation of my Airbnb host. The chips and salsa were really good. The salsa was clearly homemade and was just excellent. I got the steak super burrito, wet. It was the best burrito I've had in quite some time.
Whenever I travel I try to find little restauran...

Bonanza General Store
Grocery store
👍👍 I think it's a wonderful store. They carry about everything a general store could carry for us country folk. And the employees are very polite and very professional. Willing to go out of the way to assist you.
I have never had a bad experience going there.
If an out-of-towner comes to our little to...

Longhorn Restaurant
American restaurant
🫤 I had high hopes for this restaurant that was built in 1873 but somebody redecorated it and split up the bar from the restaurant from the diner and you have to walk through the kitchen to get to the dining room which is dirty. The food is overpriced especially considering 30 minutes away actually 15...

Martin's Food Center
Grocery store
😠 I've lived in the small town of Merrill since 2015. I have good memories of Martin's, the local grocery store, over most of those years. Unfortunately, over the last couple of years, customer service has suffered tremendously. Over the last year, their pricing system is a complete failure. There is...

Wild Goose Lodge Motel
Motel
👍👍 Cozy is an understatement. Mark isn’t your average host. He and his wife have made this into a unique and very special place to stay. The tri-tip was awesome. Knight to Rook 3.

Golden Dome Cave
Tourist attraction
👍👍 This was the first cave we visited in Lava Beds and it was a great introduction. Be aware that the ceiling in this cave gets low and requires you to stoop at times (watch your head as the ceiling is sharp in places). The golden color on the dome is really amazing when you get there.

The Water Hole
Bar & grill
👍👍 My favourite bar in Merrill! ;D
But seriously, this is a great place to hang out. Everyone who works here is friendly and fun to talk to. This is mostly a beer drinker's bar and there are only three taps but if you're nice to the bartenders they'll make any drink you ask for. And the food is damn g...
