    Gluten free OG and fries
    Jessica H.

    So if you're like me and get a little overwhelmed driving in new places, be aware that The Podski (food truck park) is on a one way street. I went the wrong way and magically didn't get into a car accident AND no one yelled at me AND I U-turned into a parking spot The Podski is super cute. Multicolored tables, ample seating. So many options. We chose Americana for the reasonably priced burgers with the option for a gluten free bun. And I was impressed with that bun! Great texture and it didn't fall apart. My kids got kid burgers and the 3 of us split one order of fries and we all left satisfied. Loved the rich cheesy flavor and the crispy edges of the patties. And the fries had a nice texture and saltiness.

    The Cowboy burger.

    I don't like burgers. Until today. Glorious bacon, heavily buttered bun, cheese, BBQ sauce with some fried onions? Don't threaten me with a good time. I didn't breathe between bites--I simply inhaled the deliciousness. It's been 8 hrs and I am still thinking about this burger. Probably will still be thinking about it tomorrow too. The only thing that I would improve on is that I am not sure if the fries are made in house. They seemed pre frozen and flash fried. They still tasted good though.

    The OG

    The smash burger seems pretty trendy these days and I have had 2 in the Bend area and more in California where I am from. I can say with confidence, that these guys make the best smash burger I have ever eaten! For an incredible $8 you get the OG and it is awe inspiring! The crunchy edges of the patty seem almost impossible. It's like a snowflake of beef with yum, and bam, and holy crap this is so good! But wait! There is American cheese flowing through the cracks in this patty along with the fry sauce, that make the whole experience a sauced and gooey delight that everyone should experience! Oh ya there's killer bread and lettuce! Although podski has a bunch of awesome options, do yourself a favor and have a smash burger, they are a culinary work of art!

    OG Burger and fries

    Outstanding burger. Came here for lunch at 11:30. No line. Got the OG Burger for $8 plus $5 for fries. Staff were super friendly. I got a beeper and it was ready in 5 minutes. Sat at an outdoor picnic table. I loved the burger - crispy, flavorful, juicy. Heaping pile of fries - reminded me of what you'd get at McD's, tasty but nothing to write home about. I'll definitely come back here on my next visit to Bend, probably to get 2 burgers next time, and if with family, possibly split one order of fries. Yum!

    This place is always on point. Super friendly staff. One of my favorite spots in Bend. A weekly must at this point

    Americana - fab smash!

    A darn good smash. Proper crispy edges, soft bun, tangy sauce...the right amount of grease. Large portion with the fries which were cooked well. This truck is in a small but mighty pod with a decent amount of seating and street parking, but in a busy area. Service was friendly, definitely recommend if you love a good smash.

    It was better than in-n-out ;) We got both the original and jalapeño with bacon and bbq and I don't know what was yummier!

    Best smashed burger ever, ever!

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.

The owners closed up shop downtown and created this new place on 2nd Street in Bend's Central District. It's now called Dogwood at the Pine Shed. Why Yelp won't create a new, distinct page for the Pine Shed is beyond me. That said, the Pine Shed is a fine place for drinks and food truck fare. The open, spacious 'shed' has plenty of varied seating surrounding a nice bar with quite a few tables outside on the patio. Mobility-challenged folks have choices too. For those worried about 2nd Street's reputation for sketchiness, don't be. Revitalization efforts by the city have transformed the area. At times of good weather, with the big doors open, the Pine Shed is quite a nice spot to relax. Cocktails were the raison d'etre for the former incarnation of Dogwood and that emphasis transfers here to the Pine Shed. I particularly like their versions of a margarita but the other cocktails are uniformly good too. The beer tap offerings are not so spectacular, however, with only four (and a cider). On one visit shortly after they opened for business, two beer taps were tapped out, which can be chalked up to growing pains. In any case, the Pine Shed can't be seriously regarded as a tap house in the style of the many others in Bend (On Tap, River's Place, Crosscut, The Lot, The Podski, Midtown Yacht Club, etc.). Come for the cocktails. They do offer low ABV and zero ABV drinks. At present, the food truck choices are abundant and pretty decent. Being trucks/carts, and thus mobile and prone to relocating themselves, I'll not list them here. Best to check the Pine Shed's webpage for current offerings and then go to the relevant Yelp page for reviews. Parking is street only, no parking lot. The city has completed construction on 2nd Street so there are more spots available than before.

To order, you pick your protein (chicken, steak, or tofu) and pick your boat (rice, noodles, baguette, or salad). Current prices are $14 for chicken or tofu and $16 for steak. I tried the chicken baguette option (a self described banh mi) which came with cucumbers, pickled carrots and daikon, and garlic aioli sauce. In my experience, a banh mi is commonly made with pork and pate. Obviously, Da Nang can serve whatever food they want; I'm not making a claim about authenticity. But, I think their sandwich would have been better with these ingredients. The sandwich was good but not great. The baguette was very good -- crusty on the outside but soft on the inside. The flavors were good, but relied heavily on the garlic aioli to pull it together. The chicken was a little dry without the aioli. When I got all the ingredients together in one bite, it was pretty good, but the sandwich size/shape made this difficult. IMO It tasted more like a "chicken and pickled vegetables" sandwich than a banh mi. Service was friendly. It took about 10 minutes to get the sandwich and they gave me a buzzer to tell me when it was ready.
