Roadhouse scores perfect inspection

Published 12:00 am Wednesday, April 9, 2014

Barlow Trail Roadhouse, 69580 Highway 26 in Welches, has received its fourth perfect inspection from the Clackamas County Health Department.

Barlow Trail Roadhouse is open 363 days a year for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Barlow Trail Roadhouse dates back to 1925 when it was built as the Barlow Trail Inn by William “Bill” Lenz. It was named after the famous toll road constructed by Sam Barlow. The building originally served as a general store, and nine months later became The Barlow Trail Inn.

In 2001, the restaurant was renamed “The Territory,” which did not sit well with several folks. By popular demand, the building has been reverted to its original, historic name.

Barlow Trail Roadhouse is open Monday through Thursday 8 a.m. to 9 p.m., Friday and Saturday from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m., and Sunday from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.
