Beautiful ambiance, incredibly executed, but expensive food! When arrived late afternoon, there were only a couple of other small parties eating there. For an expansive facility, it felt empty. We ordered the two newest dishes on the menu (There are no menu photos with these listed at this time). Shrimp Alfredo Linguini and a Bolognese dish. The shrimp dish was tasty with 4 grilled prawns for 26.00. My husband's red marinara dish for 21.00 was lacking in flavor and dimension. We asked the only server if there was bread available and he shared they'd been thinking of adding that. Shortly he brought us a nice little loaf with a crusty top, saying that maybe it could be included with meals in the future if they served a few less noodles with each dish. Here's what they need: Presentation. Rather that a fork and knife rolled in small napkins and set in the center of the table, use a richer grade napkin. Set them out with style. Bring a pitcher of water with the glasses. Add a small salad to dress up the look. It doesn't have to be elaborate. Definitely serve the bread. Our waiter was cordial, but lackluster. The food was slow to come out and we were the only two patrons ordering at that time. Had there been more energy, along with lower prices or a more sophisticated food display, I'd have rated this with four or five starts. We don't plan to return.

The whole staff were so thoughtful and explained the entire German beer menu to us. As a vegetarian it doesn't seem like there's a lot on the menu to eat, but upon my friends receiving their food, there were lots of options! (Beware there's a typo for a starter plate on the menu. The Austrian sausage is NOT vegetarian). There is spatzel and veggies to eat and the pretzel is MASSIVE and delicious with the cheese! Lots of drink options as well. Fun atmosphere and really cool tables. The large platter for $80 served 4-5 people easily.

We loved this restaurant, great quality of food, great selection of beers and wines, excellent atmosphere, very clean- we wish we had a restaurant like that in our area! Kudos. Friendly service. We waited for a bit of time for the food because it is prepared after it's ordered, it wasn't pre-prepared. We will be back!

Very good! Pleasantly surprised. Had to be adventurous but it did not disappoint.

The large platters are excellent for large group sharing.Brussels were a little sweet for me, but that’s a personal preference. The bacon wasn’t salty at all.Pork sausage and corned beef were amazing. Chicken sausage was a little dry. Potato salad and veggies were also excellent.

This was a nice, quiet place on a Wednesday evening. Cozy interior decor with wooden beams, and a large kitchen hood over an area where, apparently, they once intended to grill sausages right in the middle of the dining area.That vision didn't come to pass, but this is still a great place which has recently undergone a menu revamp bringing some non-German-inspired flavors into the mix, although sausages are still on the menu.The waiter was engaged and gave us a good rundown of all the new menu flavors. We ordered one of the giant boards and felt like kings when it arrived.

Tremendous improvement since they opened Food is much better. One of the best pub burgers we have found. Manager always stops and says hello. I just wish they would stay open later. I mean what kind of bar closes at 8 pm on a weekend ?

Went for lunch last week. Ordered the garden salad with shrimp. Got charged $12 for 3 tiny shrimp. Had the pretzel and spatzel with the caprese salad. We complained about the shrimp and the waiter took $8 off of the bill but the tip was $8.5. The reciipt the emailed me said that the garden salad was $24 and the shrimp was $12. Feels like we got ripped off. /won't be going back and won't recommend you to anyone.

Got the Reuben and a sausage but wish I got a full platter of sausage. All the food and drink pairing was perfect. Will continue to return and get all the authentic plates offered here

My husband and I stopped in for a quick lunch, everything is so nice and clean. The staff is friendly and the service was FAST! My husband found his favorite beer,enjoyed his frankfurter with crispy fries, my pretzel was delicious! Very good food at extremely reasonable prices! We'll be back for sure!
Well that was completely unexpected. We live a mile from the restaurant and have never tired it. I'm upset knowing I have been driving by and I could have been eating the most amazing German food I've ever had. Okay so the restaurant is in NWX a booming spot in Bend. There is plenty of seating outside along with a warm fire and great music. We walked in and were greeted right away. The decor defiantly has a Festhaus feel. The high beamed ceilings made it feel very open. When ever we go somewhere new we always try to order a few things off the menu. The menu had so many amazing choices. We decided in a Citrus Prawn Linguine and the Bavarian Crown Platter. They brought out the linguine first. I was totally blown away! By far the best pasta I've had in Bend and we eat out a lot and have been here for 10 years. The pasta had a hint of citrus, combined with the bacon and grilled shrimp took this dish over the top. I would rate it a 9.5/10 all day long. Next the platter came out. This thing was no joke. The meats and mustards were mouth watering and cooked to perfection. The pretzel and dip kept me coming back for more and I'm not a big pretzel guy. We have so much we brought home. Now we are trying to figure out what will go good with eggs for breakfast with the leftovers. While we were sitting we met the owner Brad. A really nice guy with a great personality. Someone you would totally sit down and have a beer with. Knowing someone like that owns this restaurant makes it even better. I seriously can not recommend this restaurant enough. If you are over bad parking and long wait times downtown come to NWX and have your mind blown! SO GUT! Danke!

First time at Pfluke we were greeted immediately (even before we entered the pub) and seated by our host. I ordered the shrimp linguine and my hubby ordered the spaetzel (fresh, in-house) and mushroom dish and both were excellent. We were attended to frequently and even the owner came out to acknowledge us and share greetings. Staff smiled and were very pleasant and atmosphere was very warm... well worth a second visit and we'd love the variety of beer. Our next trip we will try the charcuterie mixed with sausages and mustards and a sampling of their cuisine...so, for anybody looking for a German flavor this is the spot! As "Arnie" once said..."I'll be back."

What a treat!! Loved the whole place! From the great help in choosing all our delights from beer, to corn dog starter - to an amazing sausage sampler - to delicious spatzle with mushrooms, bacon, and broccolini. Finished with the BEST mulled wine!! Can’t wait to come again! Danke schön!!

My family of 8 sought after a German restaurant in the Bend area. A "Bavarian Grillhaus & Biergarten" appeared like a good bet.. not so much.Walking in, The space looks great.. not much German or Bavarian about it but it's upscale, modern and clean. The tap list was also impressive.The service and food were a completely different story... Even though the restaurant was barely occupied at the time, our group almost immediately felt as if we were a nuisance and inconveniencing the staff by being there.Our server - Condescending, ridiculously slow, and unfamiliar with the menu. He also felt the need to lower his mask each time he spoke to us.Janson - the "bar manager" was overheard by multiple members of our table making derogatory remarks about us. These remarks were made in such close proximity to the table that it seemed intentional for the group to overhear.After paying a decent sized bill for terrible service and mediocre food, we left offended.I don't usually write negative reviews, but this time, I really feel obligated to say something. I frequent restaurants daily and am pretty understanding and conscious of the current situation in respect to staffing shortages. I'm also normally very forgiving, but this experience at Pflücke crossed the line. If the Owner would like more specifics, please reach out.
