About
The Rhododendron opened its doors on April 4th, 1984, after a full year of renovation to a tired landmark. In the early 1900′s the Coble family opened a Red Crown Service Station, being the first business at this junction. Over the years the building has had many incarnations – a service station, grocery store and cafe. During the renovation old timers recalled the “Kallstrom Place” where platters of fried homegrown chicken was served. Even Al and Pat Digerness, early owners of several area restaurants (Oyster Bar, Oyster Creek Inn and others) got their start here at “The Corner Cafe”.
Don and Carol Shank and Staff are proud of our goals and endeavors here at the restaurant and appreciate our clientele, especially our loyal regulars who have supported us over the years. We feel many factors have contributed to our success, but especially our goal of offering quality and creatively prepared meals in a casual atmosphere. Thank you for your support!
