Service was good here, but felt sorry for her given the price and quality of the food. Had the potato skins (okay, $18 for 6) as an appetizer, then a beef dip, a Thai or Teriyaki bowl, a chicken club. The side of gravy was clearly from a powdered mix, super bland. The Thai bowl was atrocious, basically a small amount of rice and veggies absolutely swimming in sauce (have seen frozen entrees that look and taste better). Total was $150 with tip. Cook (clearly not a chef) should have been ashamed serving it. Way better value elsewhere, and the place was half full on a Friday night so I assume others have had similar experiences.

We came to play the VLTs and eat... The VLTs didn't pay off (not their fault) and the pizza we ordered was awful. They put toppings just in the middle (look at picture) I asked it to be put in a box and when I got to my truck and opened it, a slice of pizza was missing all the toppings... I carried it flat to my truck. The waitress was talking to a friend of hers the whole time and seemed very annoyed that I was ordering. I tipped, 15% and should've asked for it back. It tasted awful, rubbery ham, dried out pineapple, and way to much plain sauce.

The food is fantastic, but unfortunately, we've been overcharged on several occasions. This usually happens during happy hour—if we order nachos and request extra sour cream, the bill often shows a charge for “two sauces.” We've also noticed extra drinks added to our tab from time to time. For example, if we order four beers, the bill might include those plus a Caesar we never ordered.

Waitress named Morganne was discriminatory to me and my friends. Asked for manager but manager wasn’t there and they said they would call back but never did. Will never be coming back here again!

The Bend has dissapointed to an extreme degree - their staff is acting an a disgusting racist manner.
I came in with some friends to watch a hockey game, and we immediately started recieving horrible service. The waitress was curt, rude, huffy, and would walk away without letting us finish our sentences. She threw plates on the table, and rolled her eyes at us. At first I assumed she was in a bad mood, but she was very polite and chatty to ALL other tables in the bar.
It is suspicious, because we were the only table with non-white patrons, and the only table to recieve this treatment. We were being singled out.
When the time came to pay the bill, I was the only one she spoke to, being the only white member of the table. When my friends paid, she silently handed them the machine, and said nothing, then walked off after the payments were processed.
We reached out to management about this issue, but recieved no response. I am dissapointed that management is not responding to this incident, and allowing racism to occur at their establishment, while implicitly supporting it.

I am incredibly disappointed with The Bend's management and their lack of response to a racist incident that occurred on November 9th, 2024 involving a blonde server wearing a white tank top and black leggings that night.
Throughout the night, our server was incredibly rude and dismissive to our table in comparison to other guests. She seemed annoyed whenever we wanted to order and would walk away before we even finished our sentences. When our food arrived, she would just throw the plates onto the table without any communication and was huffy the whole time. This is in stark contrast to her behaviour with other tables at the lounge and she was noticeably more friendly and chattier with the other patrons.
We were the only table at the lounge with non-white guests. Therefore, it's a bit difficult to ignore the difference in treatment that we received. Even when we were paying for the bill at the end, our server would only acknowledge the one white member in our party. When we tried to get her attention to ask if we did something to offend her to deserve this absurd treatment, she just briskly walked away without even giving us a chance to say anything.
The service we received here was abhorrent and disgusting. I am ashamed that I have patronized this lounge for as long as I have. I have reached out to management MULTIPLE times to discuss this incident and they have not responded to me once. The fact that The Bend tacitly approves of this racist behaviour from their staff is unacceptable.

Service at the bar is great. Servers are friendly and attentive. The biggest drawback is the guy in the kitchen that looks like Sami Zayn........he is coughing all the time and "cooking" the food....you can see him doing it from the pool table area. I was going to order food but that stopped me pretty quick.....so gross and unacceptable....stay home if you are not well especially when people can see you in the kitchen.....gross!
Local neighborhood bar. Food is decent. Paint night every couple weeks. Worth checking out.

Very friendly staff for one, second, the Cesar salad was perfection. Not overdressed, it had the perfect amount of dressing. Third, the lasagna was excellent. It was one of the best I have had in a pub in a long time.

Clearly a local haunt, food was good, bar fare. A favorite of the local for sure, apparently music on the weekends although we were not there at that time. Pub like atmosphere, a little tired though. There is a patio, but it backs on to a parking lot, so I would eat in. Over all pretty good
