“The food was really really good. I had the best sweet potatoes fries I've ever had. They were perfectly crispy, sweet, and went well with the sauce.

I ordered the steak bites (on the appetizer menu). It was very savory and reminded me of a well seasoned home cooked meal. I loved the sauce. I highly recommend.

The grilled asparagus was also good. My wife enjoyed her Beet Salad.

I ordered a pear martini drop....also delicious.“

Our server was Avery, a very nice young lady. Great job she did. Fast service. Excellent food. Familiar place in the rapid changing face of Bend, Oregon. 5 stars Dandy's!“

“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...“

“Perhaps the best breakfast in town. They serve breakfast well into the evening and as someone who loves breakfast but never eats it in the morning i am so grateful! Ian made a bomb eggs benedict. I would put a picture but i already ate it so fast lol. So flavorful and I love everyone here. Very chill vibes and one of my new favorite places to go after work. To top it off they have karaoke on Sundays! Yay“
