“always amazing owner introduced herself and gave us extra biscotti and the barista was a sweetheart as well and assured me to tell her anything i need? i love it sooooo much?”
“Love this little place! Feels like visiting the home of a friend… who happens to be a really good cook.Very cozy inside. Plenty of outdoor seating available too. (Covered/heated as needed.)Their menu has plenty of yummy offerings and the bakery counter is a feast for the eyes!Friendly service. A bit pricey, but you won’t leave hungry or disappointed.?☕️”
“Flights wine bar cultivates the perfect wine tasting atmosphere! The sommelier, Kelsey, pairs the perfect flights to pair with their amazing food! Definitely recommend for a date night or girls night! We love Flights!”
“Really enjoyed our dinner experience at Yoli this evening. So glad to have Korean food in Bend now. Each food was flavorful and the portion sizes are nice. We tried the Kimchi Jjigae (soup starter), Amtalg (roasted game hen with a yuja sweet/sour garnish & black truffle rice), Gaji (eggplant, mushroom, onion & scallion subbed japchae noodles since they were out of the rice gnocchi), the Jujube (korean date honey) Old Fashioned, the special dessert (a chocolate mousse cake with kimchi strawberries), and finally the black sesame ice cream with pine nut brittle. Everything was really 5 stars.”

“My partner and I dined here for my birthday. We tried 4 of their cocktails all which were fantastic! (All the Irene named ones were fun-) We had the carrots, the seasonal burrata and the scallops. Every dish was delightful. We had the figgy dessert with a cardamon whipped cream-get this for sure. Not only was the service top notch but the decor is so amazing! I appreciated the care they took to curate the vibe. We can’t say enough. Our new fav spot in Bend!”
“Great place! One of the best cocktails I have had in a long while. The food was an Asian fusion and off the hook. Really impressed with everything about this place!”
“Can’t thank these guys enough for welcoming our After Hours Networking group with open arms! They totally nailed it! Added bonus of course is the amazing beers!”

“The Chefs Favorite was a tasteful experience. The flavors were decadent and something I’ll come back for again. The owners are kind and passionate about their food. We will be back!”

“If you've never been, don't go, I don't want to see you at my favorite fusion place. They have all the business they need. OK, all kidding aside the pork tacos and sando are to die for, so try them before you kick the bucket.”
“always amazing owner introduced herself and gave us extra biscotti and the barista was a sweetheart as well and assured me to tell her anything i need? i love it sooooo much?”
“One of my favorite spots to hit up in Bend! The food is consistently delicious with their nachos and crunchwraps among my favorites. Updated from previous review on 2024-04-15”
“This is one of our favorite places. The food has always been delicious and everyone is friendly there. Love the all day breakfast burritos!! Also the online ordering for pick up is very convenient!”
“We got takeout from The Bob and the food was made quickly and tasted incredible. We had vegans and carnivores and everyone was stoked. The falafel had a great flavor and the food was super fresh!”
“Chao Lay is easily the top contender for best Asian food in Central Oregon, and absolutely is the best Asian food on the East Side of Bend. The Kee Mao (Thai drunken noodle) was cooked expertly, was amazingly fresh, and spiced to perfection.Great atmosphere, fantastic food, Vegan and Vegetarian meals, and service felt like family. Certainly coming back for more of Prang's delicious dishes!”
“Would give 20 stars if I could! Son and I stopped by, after months and months of wanting to, and are absolutely thrilled that we did! Bend doesn't have a plethora of good ethnic food, so for this gem to exist is a blessing to our community. Tried the pork plate and the Cubano sandwich. Please try them, you will be equally delighted with everything. Thank you Chris, we are so happy you guys are here!”
“I don't know why we haven't come in here before! Friendly atmosphere and excellent service and food! Thank you so much for being so compassionate with my sensitive situation! You are amazing!”
“We eat here at least once a week! You can’t really go wrong with anything on the menu here. My Favorite dish is the Bun (rice noodle salad) with chicken but everything I’ve tried has been incredibly tasty.”
“Great gelato! I got a regular with 3 flavors: passion fruit sorbeto; salted chocolate, and brownies & coffee. Which was the best? I couldn't make up my mind. They were all packed with flavor!”
“So delicious! We had Shrimp Tex-Mex Tacos, Carnitas Tex-Mex Tacos, Chicken Tex-Mex Tacos, and fries. Everything was freshly made and we couldn’t be happier! Friendly staff, good prices and delicious food! We will definitely be back! Yummmmmmm”

“We saw it was packed the night before and knew we needed to try this place, so we decided to pop in the next day. As it was a cute little place with beautiful decor, this place allows for indoor and outdoor seating. Offering specialty flavors, which they have year round, and seasonal flavors, I opted to try their Passionfruit flavor and my partner got the lavender flavor. Both were delicious! The passionfruit tasted so fresh and almost forgot I was eating gelato. The lavender was light and had a great scent to it as well, it gave us early summer vibes. Would definitely recommend this place and come back whenever we're in the area!”
“Outstanding experience at this high-end establishment. This ranks among the top three meals we've enjoyed. The albacore and scallop dishes were delicious, and the New York strip with asparagus and black garlic was succulent and satisfying. Totally converted me on mushroom bisque - thank you! A must-visit for those seeking refined flavors and impeccable service.Highly recommend the very seasonal tasting menu.”
“We had rib eye, more than we could eat! Prawns, Ceasar. Baked potato. Everything prepared to perfection! Great atmosphere. Lindsey, our server, was energetic, efficient, and very helpful in describing the menu items. We'll be back!”
“Ordered the blackened redfish and the shrimp and crawfish jambalaya - both dishes had outstanding flavor. The carrot cake is as good as everyone claims it to be!”

“This place is a slice of heaven. The food is wonderful but the drinks are even better. The tartar is the best thing on the menu but we could recommend every dish we've tried. Our favorite part of Lady Bird is the service. Kim is a rockstar! She makes the experience both memorable and enjoyable. Our new go to in Bend.”

“We came in from Vancouver Washington for my husband's 40th birthday. The service was unmatched and the food was STUNNING! Absolutely delicious! We were blown away! A great way to end our very relaxing getaway. I couldn't recommend this place enough. Best food we've had since leaving NYC and the Bay area. We will be back!”
“Servers were the best, especially Rachel! Food was good, slightly pricey. Drinks were amazing and strong!! I never get dessert, this time I did and it was so worth it!”
“This is a great place for fine dining! Amazing menu that you can’t go wrong with no matter what you order. Wonderful wine list and they are happy to let you taste before you buy. Cozy, romantic dining room. Service is spot on, there when you need them yet no pressure to hurry any stage of your dining experience. Worth the drive from Bend!”
“From the top down they have it figured out! Weldon, Kevin and Allison, wow! You guys are the reason we learned about and have come to LOVE the wine! Drew and Josh, thank you for your love and passion and for making wine better and growing the rest of us! ♥️”
“Wonderful and interesting food. Items you probably would not make at home! Service was good but a little quick at clearing the courses before totally finished. Price is reasonable and I'm glad students are learning the culinary arts.”
“We had booked Cycle Pub for a bachelorette party & our guide Annika rocked it. She made our experience so much fun! I would book again just for the fun of it- no special occasion needed”

“We had the most amazing experience here! It’s definitely our new favorite Bend hotspot. First of all, kudos to server Alex for the recommendation, and for going above and beyond his job! Alex was cheerful, engaging, informative, and gave us perfect tips for both drinks and eats. He was so pleasant, has a wonderful smile, and made his feel so special! He even put a birthday candle on our beignet order! Besides Alex’s amazing service, our beer was delicious, the food incredible, and the patio a perfect location for an overall enjoyable evening. Oh my goodness, the hummus was to die for! Perfect with our beer flights. It tops everywhere else we ate over our weekend visit, and will be the first place we go on our next trip to Bend. We highly recommend Monkless, and think you’re very fortunate to have such a wonderful employee as Alex, who made our experience there five star!!”

“Had a great visit today to sample several ales, specifically the Cherrywood Smoked ale!! Very nice, excellent smoky nose, color a clear dark amber, medium body.. very yummy ! Also enjoyed a couple of the IPAs from the “Deer” series!! Looking forward to trying the Hazy Deer Hugger IPA !! Cheers !!”
“Super nice and friendly, great food and value. And they open at 10am... The Verde Salsa is so good i got some to take home when I make carne asada tacos!!! Hit the ”
“Hadn't been here since the remodel and makeover...nothings change...still excellent!Food still great..I had the special seafood paella and loved it.Best Margareta in town.”
“They are the best!!! Perfectly creative drinks, we had the cucumber & wine freeze! I had the chicken bowl and my husband had the falafel bowl. Both were better than anything I can make at home. They are doing such an over the top job with all that has come their way this year. They are exceeding all the Covid restrictions. I’m so impressed with the owner, she is doing all the jobs and still has time to say hi and by to everyone! We are definitely going back again and again.”
“I was visiting Bend and staying at the south end of town and Kevista Coffee was close by. I tried it the first morning I was there and came back every morning after during my stayGREAT people there behind the counter...courteous and helpful while serving up some good beverages. Great atmosphere and plenty of places to sit comfortably.Their hours, their opening at 630am was perfect for my scheduleI would highly recommend”
“Fantastic food and services. The Oregon Roll is an elevated PB&J, such a perfect food!! Cafe des Chutes is my favorite place in Bend for coffee, chai, and baked goods. I’ve had the pistachio croissant a few times and it’s always amazing. This last time it was a tad over cooked, but it didn’t stop me from enjoying it. You won’t find a better cafe here.Vegetarian options: Great for vegetarians, not great for Vegans”
“As a picky barista, I always appreciate a well made drink. Not only do they have white coffee, but they also have cinnamon syrup so they were able to make my drink exactly the way I like it. I may not be local but this will be my go-to spot in Bend from now on!”
“Great spot and vibe but really disappointing that I had to ask 3 times (in front of multiple staff) over two days just to get a flickering light bulb replaced. It seems staff is a bit too lackadaisical. They also don’t respond to emails through contact form.”
“Deschutes makes some of my favorite beer. So I was very happy to finally make it to the brewery to experience it straight from the mother teet. 12/10 would drink again. Also, they have killer gear and stickers. Gotta go!”
“There are always some good trucks here like Himalayan Bites and the place has a great vibe. Really the only issue is the place is great enough to always attract a crowd and it's usually pretty busy.”
“Can’t thank these guys enough for welcoming our After Hours Networking group with open arms! They totally nailed it! Added bonus of course is the amazing beers!”
“Corndogs are one of my favorite eats, but it's hard to find a good one. Well, I've been eyeing this food truck for a while, and I have to tell you these are the absolute best I have had!All beef 1/4 lb hotdog with a perfectly crunchy and light batter (not sweet and cake like). I could barely finish mine, but they also serve a mini version. In addition, they offer a batter dipped baby bell cheese wheel, which we indulged in, and a deep-fried candy bar (we didn't go that far), maybe next time!The attendant was super friendly, and our order was accurate and hot.This food truck is located in the parking lot of the Bend outlet stores.So good!!”
“Out of all the coffee shops in Bend Backporch is our go to place. They have the best coffee !!! We’ve moved further out of town but we still make a trip in just for a Backporch Coffee. The staff at the Newport location is amazing too.”
“They have so many vegan options. One truck is nothing but… amazing dishes that make a vegan actually want to eat out. Thank you.Left my wallet in bathroom. Next day, they had held it for me safely with nothing missing. Soooo grateful. Great atmosphere with fires going in courtyard. Super fun and friendly to all. Thank you.”
“I came in with another friend while we were passing through Bend on an Oregon trip, we came around 3 pm so it wasn't very busy, which gave us time to look over the menu! We were immediately greeted by a few of the employees, they were very nice, I didn't catch their names though. They asked us if we were first timers and gave a run down of their menu, asked us if we wanted to sit and look over the menu and brought us fresh fried potato chips while we decided what to eat! Very nice of them. We ordered the Briqueso and the pizza sandwiches. The Briqueso was my favorite! Full of veggies and flavor, the pizza was very yummy too, I just preferred the veggies at the time. The woman who served us too also gave us one of their dips for free for the chips since it was our first time there. We also ordered their mac and cheese, very delicious. That was very kind and it was very delicious. Whenever I'm in Bend next, I'll be bringing everybody with me here again! Very nice, very yummy, great service, great food! If you're an ooey gooey cheesy fanatic this place is amaaaazing.”

“Fantastic food and vibe. Honestly so chill that I turned Rodolberto's into a co-working space for about an hour! : D Also, the prices are great and reasonable. RECOMMENDED!”
“Best pizza AND cheesy bread! You can tell the owner is really passionate about what he does: his exuberance translates into some of the best pizza I’ve ever had. He was inspired by true Chicago style deep dish, but puts his own spin on it for a delightful pizza experience in every bite. The other pizzas taste awesome too! Definitely will be going here for pizza next time!”
“This place has great food and the staff is always very friendly. The burgers are really good and the onion rings are amazing. They have a large selection of shakes that are pretty awesome too. The fry sauce is super awesome too.”
“I recently altered my daily routine, and that change led me to discover Black Rock Coffee. This coffee shop has quickly become a part of my morning ritual, and I have nothing but praises for it.The coffee at Black Rock is delicious. What sets this place apart, though, is the exceptional staff. Fast, efficient, and unfailingly friendly, they embody the essence of great customer service. Even during their busiest hours, the staff at Black Rock Coffee manage to make each customer feel special. Their genuine smiles and the way they take a moment to ask about your day or weekend make all the difference. It's the kind of personal touch that transforms a regular coffee run into a warm and welcoming experience.In an era where many coffee shops prioritize speed over the personal touch, Black Rock Coffee stands out as a shining example of how to make each customer feel valued. I can't recommend this place enough to anyone looking for a delicious cup of coffee served with a side of genuine kindness. It's more than a coffee shop; it's a little haven of positivity in the morning rush.”
“I was skeptical of paying $7 for a breakfast sandwich the same size as a Starbucks one until I actually TRIED it. I DONT KNOW what they put in their egg sausage biscuit sandwich but it was CRACK! Far superior than competitors for a 1-2 dollar increase… I’ll take it!The cheese was splendid, the flavor was amazing, the BISCUIT - buttery, flaky, and what I believe to be the embodiment of southern cuisine.Don’t get me started on their espresso. It is WONDERFUL. This place is my new go to and is the perfect medium between the cost of Sparrow Bakery and the low quality at Starbucks.I DEMAND $20 MIN WAGE TO EMPLOYEES FOR SERVING AND PREPARING SUCH DELICIOUS FOODThank you,The O”
“Good selection of milks and flavorings and the baristas are friendly. Glad they are close by because we don’t have a lot of non-chain options in my part of town.Dietary restrictions: Lots of non-dairy options: soy, hemp, almond.”
“Thank you Taco Salsa ... Our family appreciates your hard work, customer service, and kindness. You bring a sense of family and friendship to our community and we are grateful.”
“The service was Excellent. I really appreciated their patience while my younger children ordered their own meals and accommodated their requests. We received our order correctly as well. Dining room was clean and staff also seemed to be enjoying their shifts, taking pride in their store etc. I just can't give more than 3 stars for fast food food... But it was a pretty good experience overall.”
“the food was amazing, the guy that took my order was very helpful. the prices can't beat it. I met the owner and very outgoing and honest man. we had an extremely nice meal and conversation. I live in Klamath Falls and go to Bend for doctor visits. I will be back next time I'm in Bend Oregon thank you”
“The chicken and bacon were delicious. The bun left something to be desired, in my opinion. Pricey for sure, I spent $36 on a chicken sandwich with onion rings and a vanilla shake.”
“Very good drink, I don't drink coffee often. Asked for a dealer choice and was made a maple donut I think it was called. Very friendly service, the beautiful young lady also made it an even more pleasant trip. Will stop by again when I'm in bend.”
“I've always enjoyed Redmonds Carl's Jr. One thing that stood out was the professionalism of the servers. One in particular was concerned that another employee was on their phone too much which I appreciate. Taking their job seriously makes all the difference!”
“Pretty good Wendy's. We went through the drive through on 10/10/2023 and got the Biggie Bag w/ the jr. bacon cheeseburger and the 10 piece nugget combo. The nice thing about Wendy's is that I have never not been able to get a Frosty.”
“I had trouble with the app, and had to go in. I imagined it was going to be torture trying to sort it all out, but the front gal helped me and was more than happy to make it all right.Not often experiences are easier and not harder than we anticipate. This was a lot easier. We’ll be back next year for that special birthday dinner as in years past!”
“What an awful establishment. I went through the drive through to pick up food for a business meeting at the Bend, Oregon restaurant. The lady at the drive up window handed me my drinks and bag of food, so I thought. I drive to my meeting and go to grab the bag and only one item is in the bag of the $48.06 worth of stuff I ordered. I had to drive back to get the food where I was greeted by a less than helpful manager, Gretchen, and a so called hospitality manager , Alex McClain. My options were to have them make the food again or get a refund. Mind you I was bringing food to my lunch meeting that I was more late for due to your company. It wasn't my screw up, it was an incompetent employee. No gift card was offered. No here is your food and a refund for your inconvenience, nothing. I wouldn't be writing this is that had been offered. I wasted my time and my gas to go back to get the order fixed that your employees messed up. That was after I paid a ridiculous amount of money for very tiny portions. The Alex lady was even so kind to shoot me a rude look and comment. This is a Christian restaurant? You apparently don't follow any Christian values I know. Your so called hospitality person was probably one of the rudest people I've talked to in a while. She definitely has the wrong job if she treats people like she does. It's unfortunate that companies no longer care about customer service. If I could have given less than one or a negative number above, I would have. You charge way too much money to make mistakes like this and to have rude employees who don't care about the customer. The amount of food I got was maybe worth $20. Below you have the receipt from this horrible experience. From the sounds of Alex though, nothing will be done about it. She didn't care at all and was rude as I walked out as well.”

“I’ll have you know I’m an expert skier. This is a swanky little place with world class brewery vibes!Now I don’t like sours so you would think frank why on earth are you going here? Tbh I am not sure but I am happy I did!Now the only beer I liked was the intro beer the rest were too sour for me but man I am glad we stopped here.The bartender she was incredibly helpful and pleasant hands down one of the top 2 people were interacted with in our 7 days here.The setting is awesome there’s quality music from quality speakers. High ceilings and a very open and inviting space. They also have this awesome art on the wall that really adds character to the space with the barrels in the back.Also big shout out to all of the mechanical metal made art it’s very unique and we all got a kick out of the swimming fish!”
“From the top down they have it figured out! Weldon, Kevin and Allison, wow! You guys are the reason we learned about and have come to LOVE the wine! Drew and Josh, thank you for your love and passion and for making wine better and growing the rest of us! ♥️”

“This was such a great stop! Our server, Forrest, was fantastic - very friendly, helpful, enthusiastic, and offered us some great recommendations for places to check out in the local area. The atmosphere was fun and cozy - very much the vibe of a British pub. Beer was great and unique from most local offerings. We didn’t try the food, but wished we had - their cottage pies looked and smelled amazing! We will definitely be returning here - a new favorite spot in Bend! Cheers! ?”
““I don’t like vegan food” is what I told my partner almost 2.5 years ago. Now a trip to Podski feels incomplete without a crunch wrap. It is consistent, fresh, and filling. Challenge yourself to rethink what “vegan” food is. Please never close, thank you - 2 happy non-vegan ”
“IPA's are great. Was able to taste the one stout they had which was pretty decent. Great outdoor seating area with fire pit. Wish it was a little closer to the register. Service was great.”
“I just met Tristan at the Pleasant Grove location. He is a great guy and the food he creates is amazing! I had the Gyro with a Hummus side and it was so so so so good. Definitely the go to place for Greek food.”
“BEST dirty chai in Bend!! hands down, and I’ve tried nearly all of them ha + espresso whip on top! oof! The baked goods and burritos are also fire!!! 20/10 obsessed w this spot.”
“This is my family's go to stop when we have an early workday on a Friday or some downtime over the weekend. They are extremely friendly to my daughter and it's a great environment for couples and families alike. Very nice quality wines for the price point and the most lovely staff. Also... I dream about the Marcona almonds on their cheese board!”
“Spicy Mayan Mocha 10/10 would recommend. Can’t visit this place and not get a big chocolate chip cookie, it’s got a hint of salt on it that is chefs kiss. Staff was super ”
“My recent visit to Active Culture left me thoroughly impressed with their delicious gluten-free offerings. The highlight of my experience was undoubtedly their açaí bowls, which were not only visually appealing but also bursting with flavor.The açaí bowls were perfectly blended, with a velvety texture and a refreshing taste that made them a real treat. Topped with fresh fruits, granola, and a drizzle of local honey, each spoonful was a burst of tropical goodness.I appreciate the cashier putting gloves on before touching the fruit for my bowls.Aside from the açaí bowls, I also indulged in their gluten-free almond cookies, and they were simply divine. The cookies were soft, chewy, and had a rich almond flavor that was incredibly satisfying. I wish I had purchased them by the dozen.What impressed me the most about Active Culture was their commitment to offering high-quality gluten-free options without compromising on taste.Active Culture is a must-visit destination that won't disappoint. Highly recommended for anyone craving delicious and guilt-free treats!Dietary restrictions: Gluten-free açaí bowl”
“Amazing family run business! Definitely the best Hawaiian food in Bend.. the Kailua pork and freshest fish ?. Nom nom. Love the wonton chips for the nachos.. now I’m hungry again. So glad they are back in Bend!”

She helped me gained $16,000 with just a capital of $2,000. If you want to be financially successful invest with her ASAP via WhatsApp through Facebook: Mrs Craig Vanessa”
“WildRoots is a local staple for us! It’s our go to spot when we are home in Bend. We have traveled the country sampling our latte. Our comparison is always to WildRoots! I have to say WR continues to be a leader across the country! Check them out if you are in Bend. The staff are friendly and the owners are awesome. Great local coffee place!Vegetarian options: Great veggie burrito”
“Friendly service, great atmosphere and the BEST food. Everything is delicious. The ocean rolls are what brought us here and they did not disappoint but now we are trying everything else too. Soooo good.”
“So happy we stopped in here before walking around downtown Bend. It's a large building with plenty of places to sit plus ping pong and a food cart (Mexican food) plus Sandos and slider and kids menu Family friendly and groups”
“Great coffee roasted onsite. Even better location with views of the mountains from their fire pit, patio, and from inside.I also love the almond cherry scone and avocado toast.Vegetarian options: There are good bagel, toasts and vegetarian sandwich options as well as a large bakery section that also has 1 or 2 vegan options.”
“Excellent service tonight (10/22/22)! My daughter has a list of food allergies and the staff was very accommodating and helped figure out good options. Wholesome, real food, that’s super fast and tasty!”
“Wonderful and interesting food. Items you probably would not make at home! Service was good but a little quick at clearing the courses before totally finished. Price is reasonable and I'm glad students are learning the culinary arts.”

My brothers enjoyed the food, but unfortunately the vegan options were slim. We had good French fries though!”
“Great service and great food!We came in with a family of 10, with 6 adults and 4 kids. They did a great job preparing a comfortable spot to sit, and everyone had a great time. They have great menus for adults and kids.Kid-friendliness: The kids' menu has a fun selection.One of my granddaughters loved getting the salmon! All the kids were happy ?”
“I love everything about this place. The bartenders r very nice and I think they know what they are doing. The atmosphere is always amazing and intergetic. I also like the food (busing burgers). All in all this place is amazing which why I am giving it a five star review.”
“So good. It's one of our top 10 favorites in Bend. Everything we have tried is good but we especially like the curry special and the onigiri. I wish it was closer to where we live but any time I am in that area I try to remember to hit Bend-o-Bento.”
“Great and friendly service. Tonkotsu ramen was tasty, as was the karaage. Pricing does change as they indicate, so be aware. My order was about $3 more than listed.”
“Best sushi we've had in a long time!It's hard to just eat one roll, so we had 3. They were all different, they were all very good, & unique! The Cucumber Jalapeno margarita was also the best I've had in town!Highly recommended!”
“You may not expect it, but this is 100% our favorite restaurant in Bend. Owned by past employees when it sold! Eric is the best server. Cliff is an amazing chef!!!”
“My wife and I tried Mother Shuckers for the first time last weekend. We ordered the Calamari Fries, the Bay Shrimp Melt, and half a dozen oysters grilled with butter and garlic. The food was delicious, and the atmosphere at Podski is always great. I highly recommend!”
“Juno (inside podski right next to the bar) is likely the best sushi in central Oregon. Since moving out from Denver where we were spoiled with Sushi Den, Juno has been our go-to for excellent quality sushi with creative rolls and many locally sourced ingredients to help make it a little more sustainable. The Oishii and Ohanami rolls are some of our favorites, and our toddler loves the miso soup.Their hours can vary so we typically check their FB page to verify they’re open.”
“Had dinner at the bar and Cody took great care of us! His drinks were tasty and everything we tried on the menu was fresh and delicious! My partner and I will definitely be coming ”
“Stellar food and killer service to pair. We came on a busy Friday night and the kind host was able to squeeze us in at a nice table before a reservation, and we’re so glad he did. The atmosphere is so cozy and cute, with dried roses decorating the entire ceiling. We had the Thai sunset and a matter of thai’m (I think that’s what it was called?) cocktails, crab Rangoon (which they called butterflies), and crab fried rice. Everything came out incredibly fast, hot and enticed the tastebuds with every bite. Seriously tasty food, and at a reasonable price. Willis, our server, was super quick and exceptionally hospitable. All around amazing food and outstanding service. Will definitely revisit to try more menu items next time we’re rolling through. A Bend, OR do not miss for sure!”
“Had a wonderful anniversary date night here & was extremely impressed with the service we got. It was a very 5 star experience & I would highly recommend checking this out. We went at sunset & rode the chair lift to the restaurant. Enjoyed a beautiful evening & amazing food. Food & drink portions were small & on the expensive end. Overall still highly enjoyable”
“The hostess was friendly and inviting. My server was also awesome, attentive without being overbearing. The coconut pancakes and tropical syrup are great - comes with 5 pancakes. I couldn’t eat that much if I tried though.”
“Just fantastic food! The service and vibe inside was killer too! The beer... delicious when paired with the many traditional food choices. We ended up ordering the mouth watering Rubensalet, Frites, Kohlrouladen, & the Wurst (3). Absolute perfection!! I got so excited to see the food as it was served...I totally forgot to take some pics of it...hahaha! I highly recommend it!”
“If you want superbly cooked steak with delicious sides, thought-provoking décor under subdued lighting, and impeccable service -- then Bos Taurus is the way to go! Be prepared to lay down some $$$ along the way :”
“Their whole campus with a stage, food trucks, and awesome artwork is pretty stellar. We walked in to some live music, grabbed a flight, and had just a great time. Beer is tasty, people are chill and friendly, definitely a place to check out!”
“We got a GORGEOUS wedding cake from Tara! When we did our taste testing, we couldn’t choose so we got chocolate cupcakes for the rehearsal dinner and champagne cake for the wedding! It was amazing and my entire wedding party said the cake was delicious ❤️”
“Kanpai exceeded even our high expectations after reading the reviews. A new sushi favorite - from the quality of the fish, to the impeccable preparation of rolls and nagiri, to the immaculate details with every dish. The staff is friendly and professional, the sake selection is excellent, and the cocktails are fresh and delicious. Extra points for dueling Godzillas managing the tip jar.”
“Got few round of drinks and food here last night. Great customer service and great food. Huge serving of fries with the burgers- smash burger with onions was awesome on bartender recommendation. Brussels sprouts were solid too. Highly recommend. Big tv at the bar to watch games completed the ”
“Saturday evening we decided to take our neighbors out for dinner at the Washington made reservations Service was great cocktails were good food was excellent I tried one of the burgers very very good excellent french fries my wife had a salad, which was very good Atmosphere was comfortable very busy a little bit noisy but we enjoyed our dinner. We will return.Parking: There was parking if you wanted to get closer to the restaurant when it’s busy it’s hard to find a parking space”
“All went well with this place. The staff, atmosphere, and services were great but not for the food very disappointed with Cajun Shrimp Fettuccine Pasta way too salty! like someone threw salt into it! wasted money to pay for this dish!”
“This a weird/quirky place. Set up in gas station so I suppose you can get a corn dog with your crowler (my S.O. did this). Friendly and knowledgeable staff guides you in the best direction for your day. Wonderful, quirky, weird.”
“Dan (beer-tender) was great. I came on a Friday around 4 p.m. and had a Road Rider Red and it was delicious. Cool place and my well-behaved service dog was allowed in. Will come back. Good beers!”
“This restaurant is fantastic and well needed in Bend. It has an approachable atmosphere but a high class menu. We went and had a great 4 course dinner with my wife and daughter. Being in Bend this was her first experience of something like that. Every item on the menu (both the first and 2nd time we went) was tasty. As an Italian I appreciate the quality, imported ingredients, going beyond the usual menu, and representing food from every part of Italy. Drinks both on and off menu were great. Tasty desert. I will for sure be going back.”
“I absolutely love this place! Best staff, great food, they care about their clients, fun place for music on Thursdays, amazing staff, good wine. I highly recommend!Vegetarian options: Veggies, olives, nutsDietary restrictions: Gluten free crackers”
“The staff are friendly and they continuously offer a beverage while you play video poker. At times they even approach you offering to cash a ticket out immediately after cashing out.”
“My good friend Renee and I had an enchanted evening at Domaine Serene where we had the pleasure of trying their ambitious new menu which is now available to the public. The new menu has been crafted in collaboration with iconic, local Executive Chef George Morris, of Bos Taurus and Nomé notoriety, and features creative wine-inspired cuisine with a French bistro flair, and notable Pacific Northwest ingredients. We had been eagerly anticipating the new menu launch event, and it was a memorable and magical experience with every course. Our multi-course dinner was exceptional, and the world class wine pairings were curated with thoughtfulness. Some of our favorite dishes included: Amuse-Bouche // Shigoku Oysters on The Half Shell w/ Blood Orange ‘R’ Rosé Granita, & Yuzu Kosho. Beef Short Rib Bourguignon // Creamy Polenta, Root Vegetables, w/ a Red Wine Jus. For me, the culinary star of the show, and probably one of the best dishes I’ve ever had: The Steamed Foie Gras Wontons A rich, delectable creation framed with a Smoke-Forward Shoyu, and Aromatic; Miyagi Chili Oil, Hints of Mint From the Shiso, and the citrus notes from the lime accentuated the strengths of the dish with a delicate balance. With their exciting new menu, and added team members, now is a great time to go experience the serendipity of Domaine Serene for yourself.”
“We stopped in for lunch on Sunday, 3/24 and had a great experience at BPK! Brandy provided us with wonderful customer service! We had great pizza, many creative options to pick from including gluten free and all the beers on tap are from Oregon! We also tried the gluten free cheesecake, it was outstanding as a gluten free product ! We will be back again, thank you !”
“10 Barrel is always a great place to go, great atmosphere. Caveat, don't order fish and chips, I realize everyone needs to save money, but there are rules. I'm willing to pay for cod and pay more for halibut, but I am unwilling to pay for one scrawny rubbery piece of rockfish and bad coleslaw. That being said, other people at our table were happy with their burgers and salmon and salads.”
“Service at the east side location is excellent. Had the grilled fish taco bowl today to try something new and it was fantastic! Fresh and flavorful but not overpowering onion flavor. Can’t wait to have it again!”
“The Burger of the Day.....This burger I had at Bevel Brewing is absolutely the top 3 burgers I've ever had! And ive had ALOT of burgers.Everything just comes together for a flavor bang! I'll be back time and again.”
“It was so cool I sat on a couch today and the big guy comes around the corner and says couches aren't for sitting on during covid and I asked him if he was born stupid and a sheep or if he liked to put it on fresh every morning”
“Love this place for an afternoon sit down in their video poker lounge. Machines nicely spaced but close enough you can still visit with your friends if you brought any along.”
“I love this place but need more options with veggies. The temperature in the restaurant is hard to keep warm when the door keeps opening to let more patrons in. So I understand why heat is up so high that my husband had to take his sweatshirt off. Thanks for the dinner and the show ?”
“Great solid menu. Prices are reasonable for Bend and the food never disappoints, the best thing though is they are open later so you don't feel rushed. A regular go-to for us!”
“Went here for dinner with my family. The food was tasty, I enjoyed the burrito I ordered, even though it was slightly overpriced. The service was nice, the waiters were friendly. Took about 20 minutes to get the food. Overall, a solid choice of a restaurant.”
“Amazing experience with a wonderful server whose name I don't remember. Thursday 2/29 3pm server was great. Food was wonderful. Very much recommend the pepper steak ”
“This place should be every Bendite's Go-To for all things chinese food and Sushi. Been eating here for a long time now and have yet to have a bad meal! So good! Highly recommend!!”
“I can't say enough wonderful things about our experience at Nome last night! From the moment we walked in the door, everyone was so wonderful - the host, our server Reed, the bussers and bar tender!It was my partners birthday and moments after we got seated, they brought everyone in our party a glass of the most delicious champagne, on the house! We ordered the focaccia for an appie, that was served with a marinara and cream sauce. Everyone LOVED their meals and the pasta was cooked to perfection! We ordered the funghi pasta, duck ragu, calamari, broccolini and the special which was a shrimp pasta dish. I recommend all but the duck ragu was my favorite!We brought a birthday cake and they brought it out (with candles lit) after we finished dinner and even cut and served it to us.Nome, thank you so much for making our night so special. You truly went above and beyond. We will be back!”
“Another cool and quaint McMenamins. Cool, scenery and art, most of the place is pet friendly. We went around and found the stamps and had plenty of food and drinks. Really friendly staff.”
“Wanted to try March Oyster Fest. This was a repeat of new years celebration that appear to be an off day for Anthony's. We enjoyed our favorite types of oysters, with my wife trying the black cod, and I opted for Halibut fish and chips. These were on the "special today" menu and happened to be both our favorites. All dishes were stellar, especially the oysters. The restaurant excelled in speed to seating (we arrived 1 minute after our reservation time), we were taken right to a 2 person table immediately after presenting ourselves. Mattie our wait staff was great, explained everything and was super friendly. She found the right amount of attention without, over doing it. Nothing took long to get to the table, which is amazing as each of the oysters had to be shucked. No signs of sand nor shell in each of the oysters so skillful hands must have been preparing them, with care. The varieties we ordered are delicate and very tiny (Olympia, Kumamoto, Baywater Sweets). All paired well with a Kendall Jackson Sauvignon Blanc. Anthony's is a place we celebrate occasions and they delivered. As I have previously reviewed Anthony's on New Years Eve, where they had challenges that night. It appears that they took each of the observations and made targeted improvements. I guess when friends give you advice, and it is constructive, it only strengthens the relationship. Cheers!”
“The Lamb Shank was one of the best I've ever had! The combo of mashed potatoes with pea mousse and other root chopped veggies was amazing! The lamb was melt in your mouth tender!!”
“The best brisket that I've found in Oregon. Hazy IPA was on par with the big names in Bend. Courtney (the owner) was so friendly and awesome. You have to check it out. I know I'll be back”
“Kind of noisy when we went on Friday night. Food is not typical mexican it is fabulous. The pork shank is too die for. Cilantro rice is super yummy and the margaritas....wow!”
“Had a bloody, and fried pickles!!! I highly recommend! I’ve tried fried pickles at every restaurant I’ve been to, that serves them, and these are by far the best! I think they are beer batter fried, and they are the spears, and they are so delicious!The bloody Mary I had was also super yummy!”
“Lovely, homey, comfortable, unpretentious. We enjoyed the low-key vibe and the servers' knowledge about pairings with each of our meals, as well as a single bottle that would work for everyone to enjoy together. I adore cheese plates and order them often. This is the first time I've had one plated this way, and I'm changed forever! Why every establishment doesn't present the cheeses this way, I don't know! ??”
“Delicious pasta, including options directly from the menu and customized dishes. If you don’t see exactly what you’re looking for, just ask!!Staff and management were excellent too.I would definitely recommend.Vegetarian options: Our resident vegetarian selected Pastinis and was very pleased with her selection, as were the rest of us.Kid-friendliness: Plenty of options for the kiddos… spaghetti, Alfredo, Mac n Cheese…”
“Went to watch Monday Night Football while staying in Bend on a business trip. Had the River Pig Nachos which were pretty good. Plenty of large screens for the game. Pretty typical sports bar with the usual trappings, would go again when back in Bend if there's a game on.”
“food is deeelicious, customer service from hostess to servers is excellent, atmosphere is fun and upscale cool. On my top fave list of restaurants. And the best part- everyone is welcome here, not just the alphabet crew.”
“We stopped in while on a trip from Portland, and it easily rivals some great spots in the city! Excellent customer service from Elissa, and the food was fantastic! Definitely try the Crab Rangoons, and cucumber salad. Super cute atmosphere, and great cocktails! The Katsu curry was fantastic!”
“These are really good smoothies when made right . I don’t understand the inconsistency are the employees “remembering” the recipe or following a written one? I buy a smoothie from here about once a week and it tastes different every time. Many people don't like them for that reason. Sorry guys you don’t remember the recipe you should follow a written one and make good smoothies every time. I would say about 1 in 5 is made right. I would love to see that change! I can't enjoy the wrong flavor much longer. You kinda just no longer crave it at that point because who knows what it will taste like.”
“These steaks HIT. Take it from someone who grew up outside Philly. Great value great taste and the rolls are done right. This far from Philly its so nice to get a taste of home. Thank you Philly Style. and GO BIRDS”
“Another great meal at Hola's -this time at the downtown Bend restaurant. Went there with some friends who were visiting from out of town. Started off with some beverages, chips and two different sauces – green sauce is my favorite! They've got a variety of selections from Peruvian dishes and some classics too. We ordered Carne Asada, Chimichanga with Enchilada, Seco de Pollo, (chicken Stew) and Lomo Saltado, (Peruvian beef dish) and everything was delicious. Been to other Hola's spots around Central Oregon, and they never disappoint. If you're there, make sure to try the Sopa de Pollo (chicken soup) and Chili Relleno.Parking: Lots of street parking with a 2 hour limit. There is a parking garage around the corner East of the Hola's.Wheelchair accessibility: No Steps into the restaurant. They do serve in an area adjacent to the restaurant for more mobility.”
“My grandson turned 18 and he wanted sushi. This place was at his request. Everything we ordered was really good right down to the hot green tea. They even brought out a free dessert with a candle. Here’s to delicious sushi and celebrations! Thanks Shinsei!”
“Hi, an apology and a review. I am the guy that walked in Saturday around 9 something and had all the cameras on. I was intoxicated, yes. I came in roughly I believe and started to go into shooting mode without thinking about anyone but me I believe I was loud. I apologize for shooting a pic that had folks in it without asking my real goal was to get a shot of the restaurant/bar I promise. Not its patrons. I love downtown Bend all its many wonders. The wine I had was delicious. I am truly sorry I upset your bar tender, truly. You have a great place here I just wanted to capture it, I see other folks have, so I guess he was just done with me and so after asking if I just photo the wine shelves and replying I rather you not I got the hint and left. I apologize again and like the shop a lot. Sorry again. Truly. My IG account shows what I take pics of steveftognoli”
“Whenever I come into Bend or after Rimrock Trail with the pups, I stop here. This place is my comfort food--healthy and delicious. The service is always quick and the team is always eager to share menu highlights and a smile. If you haven't been in, the Nuttin' Honey smoothie and the Turkey Everest wrap are amazing--but so is everything else. And, when I am on the Eastside, they have a location too!”
“The food is good but the portions are a bit on the small side for the price. We've tried a lot of different options here and have always liked the sushi but it's pretty basic and haven't been blown away but it's good for a food truck. They are always kind and provide good service. It's a sushi food truck in Bend so set your realistic expectations and give them a try.”
“Pretty huge portions on the nachos, A+ for value there that's for sure.The pastor was probably a 7 out of 10, but I'm just glad to see more people serving it because its not easy to make (assuming they are making real pastor and not adobada). Carnitas were easily my favorite, and despite this being a food truck with limited resources, the salsa was pretty well crafted to compliment everything I tried with it.”
“We had an excellent lunch. I was so impressed with our service. The maître d'hôtel was so accommodating. I have a broken leg, and he made sure my leg was lifted and supported on an ottoman. Our waitress, Taryn, was gracious, insightful, and had a lot of information. We will return for another ladies' lunch.”
“I was very impressed with this place. We ate here with a party of 12 on Easter morning, our server was absolutely amazing, as were the food and drinks. The atmosphere is perfect, and it was the exact vibe that we were looking for. Lots of diverse options on the menu so it easily catered to my allergy-ridden family.Dietary restrictions: Lots of options for vegetarians and vegans”
“My wife and I greatly enjoyed Steak Frites night. Our server made sure our experience was one of kind and had great positive energy. Will definitely be back again!”
“Would go again in an instant! Personally I strive to be eco conscious about my decisions and learning that worthy strives to do the same makes me incredibly happy. Not only do they use this brewery as a platform for amazing beer, but they also educate their workers and work with the community for a more green environment. In addition, they also have a telescope that allows people to be educated from a community organization which is out of this world (see what I did there?). I highly recommend going here because in all I give this place a 10/10. Our picture may be a little blurry (this was the last brewery from the bend ale trail for us!) but the memories are clear.”
“My first time at Mountain Burger. It was a great Burger and fries that I enjoyed. The bun wasn't toasted which was a bummer but the taste was fantastic. Fresh cut fries are always good. I'll try Sweet Potato Fries next time. The outside seating looks great but it was a cold night.”
“We have shared many Birthdays and other special occasions over the years at The Jackalope Grill , and we always have a wonderful time. It’s consistently good and the owners and staff go above and beyond to create that experience.”
“The food was amazing I had chicken fried steak with breakfast salad husband had the ahi plate which was cooked to perfection. Definitely will go again and recommend ”
“Really appreciate the quality of service!! I brought home cooked food and forgot utensils and serving dishes. They provide them in the lobby! I drank all my water, they have really good water available to refill, as much as needed. The POOL!! It’s heated 100 degrees.. I wanna live there!!! Love to Bend from Portland”
“The young folks working the counter were awesome! But those restrooms hadn't seen a clean in months at the least. I won't buy food or drinks from a place that doesn't clean the restroom more than every few months. Sad this is my last smoothie from Emerald.”
“I ordered the petite grilled top sirloin with mashed potatoes and fresh fruit. It was amazing. Everything was perfectly seasoned, the cook on the meat was perfect. I sincerely regret not getting more food!!! Will definitely be eating here again when I visit.”
“We went to Cascade Lakes to have lunch because Bogeys Burgers was closed on Mondays. We were very pleased that fate led us there. Everything was excellent. including food, service, beer, and music. Thank you for a great addition to the East Side! Please don't change your kitchen crew. Keep up the good work back there!Wish I took a picture of the Cuban. That thing was bomb!”
“We very much enjoyed our dinner this evening. Every sushi roll was fabulous. The one in the Pic is rock and roll. Excellent deep fried selection. Our waitress was Shae, and we really liked her. She is very charming, friendly, and professional. She made our evening very special. Thank you!!”
“I've been coming to this location for over 20 years. There's a few staff members that I've seen for years; but they seem to have a lot of turnover, and are constantly short handed. The last two times I ate there, it literally took 45-60 minutes to get our order. However, they have probably the best pie selection in town, a large selection of food, and 6 video poker machines in the back (and I've personally won a jackpot on one of their machines about a year ago) ”
“I have visited this establishment several times a year. The atmosphere is friendly and attentive. The menu is good. The filet is excellent and the salads are great. There is outdoor dinning and indoor dinning. I do both. The grill has a beautiful interior, spacious tables are not packed together. Bar is divided by spacious booths and table seating very friendly and cool. This place is great as it allows you to come in with a suit or snow attire or a long sleeve tee. Everyone is respected. I actually bring my international friends to Gregs 2 or 3 times during their stay. Food is good/ great. People are kind/respectfull. It's clean and friendly. Staff , from the janitor (if I may) to the owner ( I have met) are kind and consider you priority.”

“Pink salmon, shrimp in all forms, pizza, ice cream, unreasonably good little donutty thingys--what's not to love. Don't let the whiny 3 star trolls on here scare you, this place is legit. Way more kinds of meat than one person should reasonably eat in a single sitting, but don't let that stop you, eat a second plate of meat, you can handle it. Take a deep breath, sink your toes into the luxurious red carpet, look at yourself in the wraparound mirror, wipe the shrimp juice off your slobbering jowls and just keep pushing. This is your Dawn Wall. You just have to want it enough.Overall, the value of this place is undeniable. To quote Anthony Bourdain, "bro you can't hardly even buy raw salmon at the grocery store for $14.99."”

“My recent visit to Active Culture left me thoroughly impressed with their delicious gluten-free offerings. The highlight of my experience was undoubtedly their açaí bowls, which were not only visually appealing but also bursting with flavor.The açaí bowls were perfectly blended, with a velvety texture and a refreshing taste that made them a real treat. Topped with fresh fruits, granola, and a drizzle of local honey, each spoonful was a burst of tropical goodness.I appreciate the cashier putting gloves on before touching the fruit for my bowls.Aside from the açaí bowls, I also indulged in their gluten-free almond cookies, and they were simply divine. The cookies were soft, chewy, and had a rich almond flavor that was incredibly satisfying. I wish I had purchased them by the dozen.What impressed me the most about Active Culture was their commitment to offering high-quality gluten-free options without compromising on taste.Active Culture is a must-visit destination that won't disappoint. Highly recommended for anyone craving delicious and guilt-free treats!Dietary restrictions: Gluten-free açaí bowl”
“I stopped by TeaCupFuls on the East side today to grab a matcha, it was perfect! I had a special request because I don't do sugar! The drink was amazing! If you haven't been there yet you should definitely check it out!”
“I was visiting Bend and staying at the south end of town and Kevista Coffee was close by. I tried it the first morning I was there and came back every morning after during my stayGREAT people there behind the counter...courteous and helpful while serving up some good beverages. Great atmosphere and plenty of places to sit comfortably.Their hours, their opening at 630am was perfect for my scheduleI would highly recommend”
““I don’t like vegan food” is what I told my partner almost 2.5 years ago. Now a trip to Podski feels incomplete without a crunch wrap. It is consistent, fresh, and filling. Challenge yourself to rethink what “vegan” food is. Please never close, thank you - 2 happy non-vegan ”
“Best sausages I have ever had and as somebody that seeks out European sausages all over the west coast that is saying a lot. I had friends come from Czech Republic and I was excited to serve them these American delicacies. The were blown away. The assortment of sausages I served rivaled what they can get in their own country. Join the sausage club as you will get it sent straight to your house monthly.”
“They got swamped after we ordered and they still slayed. Lovely spicey food and perfectly fried food. The fried chicken was not too fried, was super tender and delicious. Very good ceasar salad is the necessary cool down for the spiciness.Vegetarian options: Cauliflower buffalo wings are the superior wings and they did an excellent job of doing the batter and the pieces just the right way. Delicious.”
“Mexican food ? is all about flavor and Hablo Tacos has it, not bad at all. Loved that Albóndigas Soup ?, the homemade Guacamole ? is nice. Those salsas are nice and flavorful, not enough peppers ?️ though ?!”
“Just fantastic food! The service and vibe inside was killer too! The beer... delicious when paired with the many traditional food choices. We ended up ordering the mouth watering Rubensalet, Frites, Kohlrouladen, & the Wurst (3). Absolute perfection!!

“I can’t say enough about the service at the Bend location. I am out of town across the country and I placed a cookie order for delivery. I put the address in wrong but Joe G., the driver called me for directions. I was in a conference so I could not talk to him. He took the cookies back to the shop and the manager Kristen called me. They took the cookies back out for delivery that afternoon and they were so nice. They helped me and I would give this team 5 STARS all day long. Great job and thank you.”

“First time at this restaurant!! It was highly recommended from friends. The fillet mignon was the best!! The sauce that comes with the food is amazing. Most likely to return to try other foods on the menu.”
“If you've never been, don't go, I don't want to see you at my favorite fusion place. They have all the business they need. OK, all kidding aside the pork tacos and sando are to die for, so try them before you kick the bucket.”
“Was pleasantly surprised by the atmosphere of the old Catholic School. Didn't eat there but found the barman very helpful. They have Blantons! Will be looking to stay at the hotel next time in Bend.”
“First time here - and won’t be the last. We were greeted with a warm smile, and quick introduction to their local product sourcing and menu options. Employees were dancing to music, efficiently buzzing about fulfilling orders. Sipping our beers and cocktails we started to worry a little that it was taking a while to prepare our burgers, but after that first bite it was SOOO worth it. Best burgers we have had in a long time. Definitely check this place out if you haven’t!”
“One of my favorite spots to hit up in Bend! The food is consistently delicious with their nachos and crunchwraps among my favorites. Updated from previous review on 2024-04-15”
“I cannot stop thinking about this Cole slaw w my fish and chips - best I've ever had!! So flavorful and garlicky almost? I want to know what their secret is. Everything here was delicious. The fry on both the fish and fries were perfect, and I enjoyed every bite. Salad was classic and refreshing, chicken a bit dry tho. I ordered pick up and the staff were very accommodating, as their online portal wasn't working but they allowed me to phone in an order. I'd love to go again whenever I'm visiting bend.”
“We had the most amazing service from a young waitress named Charlie. When we got the counter, we only had one card and some cash, something went through our card that shouldn’t have, and we were short. This sweet waitress took money of her days tips and paid the difference! Omg, we were so impressed. Obviously, we came back the next day and paid her, but she went way beyond for us!”
“The burgers are okay, though I don't always get what I actually ordered. Either way, my kid enjoys it and the atmosphere, the food is served quickly, and the staff is very friendly.”
“Excellent service tonight (10/22/22)! My daughter has a list of food allergies and the staff was very accommodating and helped figure out good options. Wholesome, real food, that’s super fast and tasty!”
“First of all the food is good, and we like it. The staff is friendly, but somewhat unprofessional or just not aware of what is going on. It would be really nice if you could pick up your order without waiting in a long line since the order is ready and paid for, there’s no system in place for this.”
“Visiting from out of the area. This place was so good. The food was amazing. 4 people all different orders and everything was delicious. This is a must visit. We will be back.Dietary restrictions: Have several dishes with no cheese and corn tortillas.”

“What an awful establishment. I went through the drive through to pick up food for a business meeting at the Bend, Oregon restaurant. The lady at the drive up window handed me my drinks and bag of food, so I thought. I drive to my meeting and go to grab the bag and only one item is in the bag of the $48.06 worth of stuff I ordered. I had to drive back to get the food where I was greeted by a less than helpful manager, Gretchen, and a so called hospitality manager , Alex McClain. My options were to have them make the food again or get a refund. Mind you I was bringing food to my lunch meeting that I was more late for due to your company. It wasn't my screw up, it was an incompetent employee. No gift card was offered. No here is your food and a refund for your inconvenience, nothing. I wouldn't be writing this is that had been offered. I wasted my time and my gas to go back to get the order fixed that your employees messed up. That was after I paid a ridiculous amount of money for very tiny portions. The Alex lady was even so kind to shoot me a rude look and comment. This is a Christian restaurant? You apparently don't follow any Christian values I know. Your so called hospitality person was probably one of the rudest people I've talked to in a while. She definitely has the wrong job if she treats people like she does. It's unfortunate that companies no longer care about customer service. If I could have given less than one or a negative number above, I would have. You charge way too much money to make mistakes like this and to have rude employees who don't care about the customer. The amount of food I got was maybe worth $20. Below you have the receipt from this horrible experience. From the sounds of Alex though, nothing will be done about it. She didn't care at all and was rude as I walked out as well.”
“Great service, first time going to a fast food place and getting real amazing food. Seriously insanely good! Fantastic burger and such amazing sauce and the chicken was so juicy!”
“A diverse staff of all ages were friendly and attentive. Enjoyed The Canna (an Italian) sub and thought the 420 theme was unique. Will visit again.Parking: Shares the parking lot with many other busy businesses. Had to drive around a couple times to find a spot.”

“We have been wanting to check this place out ever since we read that it had opened and finally went for dinner recently. The people were so friendly, especially the host (he was very funny as well, which we loved). We all did the buffet, which was very reasonably priced for all you can eat Indian food. We thought they had a nice variety of entrees, including quite a few vegetarian options. Everything was delicious. The only real negative is the space they are occupying in the Shilo is in desperate need of updating/renovation. We really hope they are able to make it, unfortunately, nothing does well in this location. Would definitely recommend.”
“Went last night for the first time and it was great! We had the Abe Froman, the Godzilla, garlic cheese bread and cider. Everything was delicious! Atmosphere is great and staff is super friendly. The owner even came out to say hello and thank us for coming in! Really love what they've done with the place and can't wait to go back. Lol actually, we're about to order a calzone to go!”
“Wow, the staff here are amazing. Incredibly polite and Always busy working. Even while they are a little slow. Whether sweeping, wiping tables or checking on customers, I have not see such motivated staff. The wings are taste great, a little on the small side, but crunchy outside and perfectly cooked juicy inside! The fried pickles are the best I've had. All around a reaaly good experience! Thanks guys!”
“The Chefs Favorite was a tasteful experience. The flavors were decadent and something I’ll come back for again. The owners are kind and passionate about their food. We will be back!”
