Apple Peddler

History

Founder and owner Carl Wheeler has always appreciated families enjoying themselves at meal time. He started working in the restaurant industry at a young age and as a teenager, he helped in the kitchen of his parents' restaurant. With the experience from working at his parents' restaurant under his belt, he found employment with a growing family restaurant chain. He worked his way from cook to vice president. After years of continued growth and experience as vice president, he left in 1987 and opened his first Apple Peddler Restaurant. Thirty years ago, the flagship restaurant opened in Roseburg, Oregon and soon relocated 12 miles north to Sutherlin. Today, the Apple Peddler Restaurants serve the grandchildren of their first patrons in Sutherlin, White City, Prineville, Hines-Burns, and Crescent City. While times have changed and the business has grown, they still cook your favorite home-style dishes using only farm-fresh ingredients.

Specialties

Comfort food is best enjoyed in a comfortable setting. It's nice to see parents taking their children out to dine together and even better when children bring their elderly parents to a place where hospitality is more than just a word. The Apple Peddler Restaurants embody hospitality and comfort. Each meal is a reminder of home and the kind of food you would find on the family dinner table.
