Great diner style restaurant. California historical site, built in 1863 as part of the Volcano cutoff of the Carson Emigrant Trail, Cooks Station is one of two remaining "stations" on the highway among many that sprang up after the road was completed over the Carson Pass in the 1860s.

Cook's Station, elevation 5,000 feet, is a roadside stop on State Route 88. Very short drive and the food is well worth the trip!

Offering indoor seating, Cook's is a blast from the past preserving it's aesthetic from back in the 1800's. While the building has been rebuilt, the staff is happy to fill you in on the place's rich history. Also, the restaurant is extremely haunted!

Stop at cooks before you hit kirckwood! Must read the ghost stories about this restaurant and meet their restaurant dog.
