Simple fare but very welcome because of the location close to the US-Canada border in Curlew on the Kettle River Valley. We had been travelling back to Canada from Spokane and needed drinks and a washroom. Out of nowhere we found Tugboats. The staff was very friendly, the prices reasonable and a wide choice of drinks and simple food. We just had lattes, tea and a banana milkshake (tasted a bit artificial). Limited seating but not busy when we were there on a Thursday lunchtime.

This tasty dine-in or drive-up restaurant would rate 4 Stars anywhere else, but the fact that it's out in the boonies - a veritable food oasis - bumps it up to 5 Stars. Miraculous!

Cool place, not much in the way of anything in that whole area, was great to have Tugboats to get a meal. They had a good breakfast burrito/wrap, the locals came in, and everyone was REALLY nice, gave great directions. Will go back the next time I'm in Curlew.

Try the Super Cougar burger. You'll thank me. :)

Parking: Mass room for rv's to park. It is a gravel parking area surrounding it. The gals working in there are great folks.

The people who work this single owner place on the side of the road are the kind of people you would want running your business.
Needless to say, the service is outstanding!
The food is well done, I have had their cheese burger and the fish and chips. Both are excellent. If you ever find yourself in the wilderness of Curlew, it's worth the stop.

These guys were excellent! The cook made some amazing burgers for us. And their curly fries are perfectly seasoned.

I was out on a motorcycle ride and came across Tugboat by accident. I was just looking for a restroom, but found out they have a cool seating area and ordered Chai Tea, which was seriously good. I noticed that a LOT of locals come through for lunch. The group sitting at the next table had some seriously good hamburgers. I'll be back when I have a chance to be more hungry. BTW... gorgeous roads and scenery in the area if you have a motorcycle, but the trip to Tugboats is worth it by itself!

One of the best breakfast sandwiches I’ve ever had! It dripped on my shirt but it was so worth it! Great price too. And the iced caramel breve was awesome as well.
