Chilkoot not only is cheerful, with delicious coffee from on-site-roasted beans, but you can also find a parking place within range. Okay, so my daughter works there, too--and my son-in-law.
All valid reasons . . .

What a great surprise!! Wonderful, freshly-prepared food ... not your run-of-the-mill menu! Their meatloaf sandwich is fantastic -- but don't forget to look at the dessert and "goodie" counter, too! Relaxed atmosphere and friendly service make you feel at home!
