The Owners of Sugarpine Drive-In Have Purchased the Former Shirley’s Tippy Canoe Property

More than a year after beloved restaurant Shirley’s Tippy Canoe was ravaged by fire, the Troutdale property—which over the decades had become a Gorge landmark in its own right—will be revived after all.The husband-and-wife team who opened Sugarpine Drive-In in 2018, also on the banks of the Sandy River about 2 miles to the north, closed on the 1.5-acre site earlier this month, as was first reported by The Oregonian. Emily Cafazzo and Ryan Domingo plan to bring the restaurant back to its 1930s roadhouse roots following a ground-up rebuild that will include indoor and outdoor seating. Rehabilitating the business is part of the couple’s overall goal to reestablish the Historic Columbia River Highway as a culinary destination.
