Zillah, WA 98953

Established in 1932 by Thyri Bainter, the Squeeze Inn Café began as a modest spot with just one counter and 12 stools, squeezed into a narrow 8-foot space in Zillah, WA. Despite facing challenges, Thyri's unwavering dedication to the café and her love for the town kept her rooted in the community. Her resilience and Icelandic heritage shone through as she nurtured the café with a determined spirit, refusing to abandon her creation.

Transitioning into the 1940s, the reins of the Squeeze Inn were passed on to Ted and Marge Bainter, who carried forward the legacy crafted by Thyri. Today, the tradition lives on through Rod Bainter, the youngest son of Ted and Marge, supported by his daughters Beth and Laura. Through generations, this quaint café continues to serve the community, embodying a rich history and a deep-rooted connection to Zillah, a testament to the enduring spirit of family and dedication.

Four stars purely for ambience and character! The restaurant was closed when we stopped by but they were getting ready for the next shift. We parked out in front and appreciated a nice sunny...

Another great restaurant in Zillah. Locally owned, it's a great low key place to have dinner and drinks.

Prime Rib combo! Wonderful cooked to perfection. Great heavy appetizer. Beer and wine only which is nice in wine country. Outdated decor but who cares?!? Staff is friendly and the food is amazing!
