Best Cheeseburger In Friday Harbor?

It just may be the best hamburger in Friday Harbor, but there can be no doubt that at $5.00 it is the least expensive cheeseburger in town.

Members and their guests have been enjoining these huge cheeseburgers on Friday nights at the American Legion post in Friday Harbor, as volunteers cook them -and equally large hotdogs- on a BBQ, with toasted buns, and a table of everything one can think of to put on a hamburger or a hotdog.

Like all money spent at an American Legion post, the money goes back into the community in one form or another, so if you’re a member, or can come as a guest of a member (Legion, Women’s Auxiliary, or Sons of) then come join in. And that includes the kids too al long as they are on the back patio where all the eating is going on. Starts at 5:00 each Friday and goes until the food or the buyers are gone. Come join in.
