    We came in very last minute and the cashier at the counter was super nice & welcoming! As it was the end of the day, he kindly offered us an extra side of rice and didn't wait long for our food. We got two different chicken sauce, the lava and volcano and they're both good. The chicken itself was a bit dried out and rice was your old plane brown rice. The mac salad was good - all the flavors were there!

    Aloha Cafe is an independent local eatery that serves what is referred to as Hawaiian BBQ. It's much like a lot of places on the west coast (such as unrelated Aloha Hawaiian BBQ and L&L Hawaiian) and isn't really BBQ, as southerners, Texans and mid-westerners would define it. Still, they serve up good grub in the form of Hawaiian plate lunches. Volcano chicken: very tasty, slightly spicy, not greasy. Well prepared. Potato-macaroni salad: really nice. Pineapple coleslaw: also really nice and not 'pineapply' Aloha has only a small space that fills quickly with the lunch crowd. Turnover is quick, though, and the ordering process is efficient. Fast casual: order at the counter, your food will be brought to you (or they'll call your name for to-go orders). Bus your own table. Parking can be challenging in the cramped strip mall. Recommended.

    Just your standard run of the mill teriyaki joint, but worse. They cover it in sauce tho, like absolutely drench it, which is super sweet and syrupy. Mine also had a funny taste to it like soap but I'm not sure why. The rice is just plain and the noodles have no spice or complexity. The people are friendly and it's quick so they get one star, but after a few bites I threw it away.

    Never ever thought I'd be writing this. With the streamlined menu changes. I'll no longer be a customer. Been going since you guys opened, no more "fryer" foods or teriyaki beef. Bummed! If you want some food that's now dragged over the grill and sauced, with awesome service go here. RIP my two favorites, chicken kadzu and volcano chicken . Good luck in the future of streamlined.

    Always reliably good barbecue meats! Just wish they had a few more table for the lunch rush.

After doing an exhaustive search of the local Bend fooderies that offer a Cuban sandwich and reading several of the resounding reviews for Manzanita Grill, I decided to try the Manzanita Grill Food Truck (just off Empire). Wow! Truly AWESOME!! What a great Cuban sandwich!!...and I got coleslaw for my side item. Maybe the best coleslaw I have ever eaten and I LOVE coleslaw!! Pricing was very reasonable! Services was very friendly and really fast! Left me very impressed - I will be back soon and often!! 10 out of 10 guys! Thank you!

Manzanita Grill's road flag is the only indication that there's delicious food around the corner. And trust me when I say the food at Manzanita is delicious because it was. Anchored by the Van Henion bar/tap room, Manzanita Grill offers Mexican fusion at reasonable prices. I got a breakfast burrito and my wife got a specialty burrito. We shared a stuff popper appetizer which was a meal on its own. The poppers come with a dipping sauce that was rich and flavorful. The lady helping us was very patient while we were deciding and brought the food to our table. Definitely worth a return trip.

Food Cart Pods are not a thing where I'm from, so whenever I see one, it's pretty exciting. First of all, do all Cart Pods have names? I love this one; "The Podski", HA! Ok but beyond that, this place had so many delicious and unique options. We had Italian arancinis twice, a sampler of Pierogis, delicious oyster shooters and shrimp tacos. One thing we didn't get but looked awesome: I don't know if we missed out on some gem, but so many people were getting the burgers/fries from one truck. Also, so many other people were getting stuff from the Thai truck. And to top it off... the beer/cider station had an awesome deal. For about the same price you'd pay for a typical pint, they pour about 20 ounces of happy beverage into a taller than I expected glass. The picnic tables are colorful, there's a covered tent if you're feeling cold, people are friendly... it's just overall a great place to chill, drink, & eat.
