This is a pretty sweet little spot. I liked the folk working there and the food was good. The collard greens were my favorite. I did feel the portions were a little small and the meat was over salted, but I still enjoyed my meal.

First time here and the food is less than great, I ordered the Brisket with the Mac and cheese and the greens. The food came to me in less than 5 minutes, not a good way to start. The Brisket was cold and I am 90% sure that Brisket is a pre-made product. Both the Mac and cheese and the greens had been on a warmer for wau too long, the Mac was so bad I had them replace it with the cornbread. The Bartender was very friendly and helpful, if it wasn't for that they would have got 1 star from me.

Turns out today is the first time I've had good BBQ. This place is life changing.

Fantastic brisket and imperial stout. We highly recommend Craft Kitchen!

Best BBQ brisket in Bend, delicious fries.

Had high hopes for the beer and food here. Beer was good- I enjoyed the hazy ipa and American lager. Unfortunately, the food didn't live up to our expectations. We were craving bbq but felt like the food did not come out hot enough and the barbecue sauces weren't as good as we hoped. The location itself was pretty cool - there is an indoor area and an outside patio area by the bbq food truck. Bartender was friendly!

We read all the good reviews and decided to try this place for BBQ. It was easy to find, but we weren't sure if we were to order at the truck or inside the building. A very nice employee told us everything gets ordered inside. She told us about their food and let us know she was leaving. She also let us know a show would be starting in an hour and that the place would fill up fast. The place itself is small. After that, it all went south. No one came to take our order and we felt totally ignored. We decided to leave. In all fairness, since we didn't eat there I can't rate the food. But as far as good service goes, there wasn't any.

Their beer menu only had one that would line up with my tastes but it was great. I got 3 different tacos. The pulled pork should never be desecrated by putting it with a bunch of gunk on a taco. It was excellent by itself. My 3 oysters died in vain. They were fried into oblivion. The taco treatment was probably the appropriate thing for the brisket. A solid 3.

The best brisket that I've found in Oregon. Hazy IPA was on par with the big names in Bend. Courtney (the owner) was so friendly and awesome. You have to check it out. I know I'll be back
Great quiet outdoor space - no crazy traffic, horns, sirens, etc. Good environment for people with or without kids. Please get the sweet tea vodka drink ?. I ordered the brisket burger with fries & loved it. The meat was delicious, the bun was perfect. I really liked the spicy BBQ sauce. Also tried my sister's fried chicken & Mac n Cheese. Would order any of those things again.Last but not least, really friendly owner - made the whole experience very nice.

Disgusting. Could have had better fried chicken at a fast food restaurant. 40$ right down the drain for cafeteria grade food. Wow.

It cost me 40 dollars for what looked and tasted like cafeteria food. I can’t believe how bad this was.

Was going to rate higher for good environment (bartender is very kind), but dissatisfied with portions (5 oz of meat and 2 small sides for $16) and flavor (spicy bbq sauce is fantastic, but wasn't happy with the brisket or beans). Rating 1 because of the male owner.I mentioned the portion was small for the price, had both the bartender and female owner tell me they weigh it to 5 oz. I tried a bite of each portion, and politely asked for a refund the 2nd time I came up to the bar. The male owner confronted me by asking, "What's the problem?" And when I conveyed, again politely, why I was asking for a refund, he replied, "Well, don't ever come back," and forcefully chucked the food into the trash. I'm sorry if I offended him, but escalating the situation like that isn't called for. I would have loved to come back for music, games, drinks, etc, it's a cool spot. But that kind of attitude is not okay.

Excellent menu, friendly staff, bingo and comedy nights... this is my new favorite spot!
