As I was paying for my food the dude who was grilling was touching his nostrils and then the raw steak. With raw hands. No gloves. I also had a piece of tin foil INSIDE my food and maybe what looked like a beard hair. I have no beard. The food was also very soggy and wet. I got a steak sandwich. Steak was very very rare. And way too much horse radish sauces. Very expensive for the quality of sandwich that I bought. They also recommend that I get lots of paper towels but that did NOT help the flavor at all. Would not recommend this place and will not be coming back. -Ernesto

Former location of El Sancho westside and before that Longboard Louie's, Runaround Sue bring Texas…read moreBBQ to Bend. I'm never one to harp on authenticity and even with my time living in Texas hill country, I won't start now. Suffice to say, Runaround certainly embodies the character of a Texas BBQ joint. It's a fast casual place. Order at the window, grab a number and a seat and your food will be brought out. In my case, that was pretty quickly. - Brisket sandwich. Loaded with strips of meat, all of which had the desired 'pink ring' of proper bbq brisket. Small amount of coleslaw and maybe too many slices of cucumber, this is a good sandwich. Their house bbq sauce is just fine. - Small side of beans (not actually small). Pretty good beans too. Not spicy, which again I think is proper. You can add hot sauce if you like yours kicked up a notch. Bottle of Shiner Bock completed the meal. Hadn't had a Shiner Bock in a long while. It's a good beer and very much Texan. BBQ done right isn't something you find much in Central Oregon (but there are some decent places), so Runaround Sue is a welcome addition to Bend.

The Good: Same chill, laid back atmosphere as El Sancho with some small tweaks. The picnic…read moretables out back, the old school booths with checkered tablecloths up front, the misters, sun tarps, and Texas-leaning playlist definitely evokes central Texas. The service was good. A bartender noticed my wife and I waiting behind a couple, that was being explained everything about the place and how to order, and offered to take our order at the secondary window. The food came out pretty quickly. We ordered ¼ lbs lean and ¼ lbs moist brisket. They were both good, well-seasoned, and so tender and juicy. The pickles were tasty and abundant too. The potato salad was good, but I don't understand an earlier review that it's too heavy on the mustard! If anything, I could have used more. I'm assuming the recipe may have been tweaked since that review. I also appreciate they didn't skimp on the bread. For those who have spent time in Texas, you know asking for an entire loaf of white bread won't even draw a bat of the eye. Not Bad: Smoked turkey, when done well, can be so delicious. When done wrong, is like tough jerky that sucks the moisture out of your mouth. The turkey slices today were tender and pretty juicy. I'd like to try it on a sandwich at some point with sauce and slaw. Not great: The pulled pork ate more like sloppy joe than pulled pork. (To be honest, growing up in GA, I never really cared for pulled pork in TX anyway, but this was different). I imagine they're adding sauce to keep it from drying out, but it just changes the texture so much from fresh pulled pork. There was also something off in the seasoning or maybe the sauce. Speaking of the sauce, I'm not really a fan of this sauce. It's fairly sweet, which is ok, but lacks spice, and has a slightly odd texture. Finally, the beans really lacked flavor and were a little too al dente for my or my wife's taste. For 1 lb of meat, 2 small sides, and a bottle of coke, our tab was $47 plus tip. For those prices, we were expecting greatness and hoping to be swept back to Austin. Instead, we received decent brisket but were definitely left wanting more.

We always love grabbing brunch at the Lodge when we are in town…read more Our server, Heather was simply wonderful. When one of our orders was made incorrectly, she quickly worked to resolve it and removed it immediately from the check before we even requested or needed it. We ordered 3 Lodge Plates, 1 Oregon's Farmer Breakfast and 1 Kids Chocolate Pancake. Kids ordered Tropical Smoothies, all were tasty and plentiful. The pancakes are the fluffiest, largest ones I've ever seen. Sausage and bacon were tasty and well cooked as well. And I'm a huge fan of their GF toast here. Over all, delicious and the restaurant views are gorgeous and place is easygoing and fun to dine in.

A staff member said they would be back. It was a long while before anyone came back and seated us. They were not busy with diners yet. There were 6 tables. We were seated and ordered coffee. The coffee was good and the server kept the coffee and 1/2 and 1/2 coming. We both ordered the Smoked Salmon Eggs Bennie for $27 a plate. It took over an hour to get our food. Other folks got their food way more quickly. We are not sure what was up with our food and why it took over an hr for it to come out. We also did not have silverware and had to request it when the food came. For the prices of this place they need to get it together. This place is $$$ spendy for brunch. $27.00 for eggs Bennie and they were pretty stingy with the hollandaise sauce. It was nothing spectacular. The eggs Bennie were decent and the potatoes were tasty. They took 25% off of our meals for our wait and gave us free coffee. As a former server, there is no way I would I make chill diners who did not complain or get mad pay for 75% of their meals after they waited over an hour for their food. This experience does not make me want to come back.

The T-Rex, off the premium menu, was so good! Chuncks of steak and grilled onions and something else I'm forgetting, it was one of my favorites. The pepperoni and mozzarella was an obvious spin and do not disappoint. Some spicy options with Serrano chilli were hot but not uncomfortable. Podski is an awesome space with lots of options but this place should not be overlooked! Give'em a try!
