“We had great service today. However the halibut was overcooked and the famous chocolate cake was dry and tasteless. I don’t know what has changed, but this used to be my go to restaurant. Tonight I was disappointed.“

“The Rustic Kale salad was soooo delicious with an amazing lemon vinaigrette dressing. Tried to create at home in Albuquerque but impossible. A delicious memory!“

“Delicious and well worth the money! It’s way more than a sandwich, their hearts are all in and it not only shows, you can taste it! Thank you for the best first impression we’ve had in a long time!“

“We had a great experience! Danny (server) helped to make it happen. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was delightful. I was slightly (and I do mean slightly) disappointed with the portion of my Alaskan fish n chips portion, but that should Not change your mind about eating here... Definitely worth the visit. I do recommend a reservation if you have a party larger than five. Bon appetit!“

“Perfect choice to start the day with some amazing Cronuts! Croissant/donut blend is absolutely devine! The Oreo cookie one was super tasty also! The Homer Simpson was a perfect pink sprinkle donut you would expect. Well run company and would very highly recommend you give them a try!“

“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!“

“Favorite neighborhood gathering place. Great service, food and drink!“

“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.“

“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.“

“We had a resv for 8. When we showed up the one server was all alone. She was bartending, hosting and serving. None of which affected the service! I believe her name was ANNA? I remember her name tag said she was from Santa Cruz. Regardless, she was flawless and ran our service as well as the whole restaurant it seemed. Good wise, we all had brunch. Everyone agreed, temperature and presentations was great. Flavor wise, it was a little bland. But that's just our personal opinion. Over all I would recommend and will go back.“

“I visit the Cafe Yumm on NE Cushing Drive frequently. I work nearby and look forward to treating myself to my favorite take out several times a week. I go to Cafe Yumm so often that the staff recognize me and say “HI !” to me by name when I walk in. The food is nourishing and delicious. The food combined with the friendly atmosphere from the staff revitalizes me for the afternoon at work.“

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

“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!“

“While we didn't get the opportunity to eat there (yet) everyone working was extremely nice & accommodating. We will 100% dine there next time we're in town!!“

I was so excited when we received our A5 Wagyu tasting and Bo’s Tasting board that I literally forgot to take a picture, but rest assured some of the best steak and Kobi I have enjoyed. It’s an experience you will remember and very educational… The only thing better were the friends we shared with, we’ll be back. Alsco linen Service Thanks You for a memorable evening.“

“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“

“Wonderful experience. I'm in from out of town and was looking for a place to watch my football team. 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.“

“Incredible food. Amazing staff. There was not a single negative. We will be back!!“

“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...“

“We're from out of town, decided we wanted some breakfast. Wow some of the friendliest people, they made our whole day!The food was so good, the potatoes were nothing like we've had before.“

“We stopped by about an hour ago. Had a delicious dinner but what contributed to our overall satisfaction was our server, Nathan. He was serving quite a few tables and yet our meal was served promptly and with a very pleasant, professional attitude from Nathan. He was personable and made sure all was well with our dining there. Good for you for hiring someone as good as Nathan!!!“

“Corey's is just an all around amazing place. We've been coming here for years, though we hadn't visited in awhile until last night. The bartenders are always fast, friendly, and make delicious drinks. They never have an issue with us bringing our dogs on the patio, in fact they enjoy it as well as the other patrons. We'll definitely return sooner than later.“

“Come for the brisket, stay for the beer and trivia. Or stand-up! Comedy in Bend is a thing.“

“A family connection with the most amazing staff, this is truly where they always know your name.“

“This is great little breakfast spot! They were super quick and efficient. Despite the restaurant appearing completely full, we hardly had a wait and were served very quickly. It has a very cute, old-timey diner feel. Our server Ivan was attentive and kind. My son had the banana pancakes and said they were the best he's ever had! 10/10 would recommend.“

“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!“

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