“Best outside, dog friendly seating in town. vast menu to satisfy a large group of different pallette preferences. Servers there are attentive, kind and rock it out so well with such a busy establishment. No wonder why I visit here all the time to meetup with friends. I'm NEVER disappointed when I leave and they really do have the best scones in town.“

“If you are looking for the best, most diverse, most distinguished, and most delicious food recommendations for Bend and Central Oregon, The Bend Foodie is source for you. From Thai to tacos, The Bend Foodie does an exceptional job evaluating and explaining the food and dining for the area. Could not recommend him enough!“

“The burgers were delicious and substantial, so you definitely get your money's worth. You park your vehicle, and one of the roller girls will come to your truck or car, which is a charming throwback. The menu is posted in the parking area, so if you're unfamiliar with this spot, make sure to look up. If your eyesight isn't the best, like mine, you may need to squint a bit to read it clearly.“

“Lifty’s nails it every time. The staff are incredibly friendly and cool, and the service is always top-notch. The food is amazing—never a bad meal. Breakfast is great, the Poke Bowl is phenomenal, and the rotating menu keeps things fun.
The sand volleyball pits add a unique vibe, and there are plenty of kid-friendly areas, making it perfect for families and friends alike. Great food, great service, great atmosphere—Lifty’s is a must-visit.“

“While part of a hotel, not a bad meal option when downtown. We came for breakfast and enjoyed it. The French toast was sweet but a little dry, and the cappuccino was mostly just alright. However, the breakfast burrito with veggie sausage was amazing. Even if you're not a vegetarian, this is a great combination of flavors and worth trying. They serve it with salsa and sour cream but it's delicious even without.“

“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!“

“The Yumm! sauce is what it’s all about!“

“Dear Irene is hands-down our favorite restaurant in Bend. Chef Johnny isn’t just an incredible chef—he’s also a phenomenal human being who makes every visit special.

We’ve dined at nearly all of Bend’s high-end restaurants, and nothing compares to Dear Irene. The food, the atmosphere, and the genuine hospitality all come together to create an experience that truly stands above the rest.

If you’re visiting Bend (or even if you live here), dinner at Dear Irene is an absolute must. It’s the kind of place that reminds you why you love great food and great people.“

“Had an absolute fabulous sunset dinner date.
Everything was spot on from the delicious hand crafted drinks to delicious dinner great service and a gorgeous view.
No kidding the best fries you’ll find on this earth are upstairs at Pine Marten lodge.
The machine hot chocolate is also a must try on those cold days, it hasn’t changed since I was a kid and always spits out rich chocolatey heaven in a cup.
Views are obviously spectacular, after a fun morning you can always count on coming in and warming up in the cozy atmosphere.
This place is a hallmark of my childhood and I look forward to the many more fry-filled ski days to come🍟
Can't wait to come back“

Started by visiting another sports bar about 3 minutes from here, where I was ignored by the servers for 15 minutes. Decided to try somewhere else and I'm very happy to have chosen this place. Super nice staff and the food was quite good. Had chicken fried steak for the first time in forever and it was very tasty. Will definitely visit again when back in Bend.“

“Some of the most authentic German food and beer I have had in the States. The Schweinshaxe can feed 3 people and its delicious. Food: 5/5. Ambiance not so much..Where's the German music? A German bier garten environment with American pop music?? C'mon, German music would be more appropriate... Always played in all other German restaurants I've been to in the US...“

“When we have uber nights, we mostly love coming here for the pool and giant jenga, while drinking, of course! 😁 The bartender was great too! I'd go into more detail, but I'm a few drinks in... so... give JC's a shot! Pun mildly intended!“

“Gorgeous spot! Highly recommend this club!“

“They do a Goth / 80’s night - Catacombs. Check it out!“

“Go get a few drinks before dinner tonight. You can't beat the drinks prices, you'll save on that bill at the local restaurantd. While you wait for dinner reservations, play some video poker as well. Make it a full night of entertainment.“
