Quickly made fresh to order tendies! The seasoning was really nice, but quickly overshadowed by the fries. We tore up some of the chicken tenders and added it to the salad, really fantastic addition!! The prices are a bit steep, but the quality is definitely there and the atmosphere of the food carts is very nice. read more

Came here for the 5th anniversary of Crosscut and Blumas served this incredible chicken sandwich with a mango slaw on top. It was amazing! You need this sandwich in your life! Tasty, a little sweet, a little spicy. We added their sliders to our order too and they were delicious as well. Come on out and give them a try You won't be disappointed. read more

My three positives and a negative because the world needs more positivity: + the fries were outstanding. Hot, crispy with a nice seasoning. The sweet potato and regular were both generous portions + bluma's is attached to crosscut warming hit which has outstanding ambiance and tasty beer + dogs, dogs, dogs - the worker was quite distracted. It took us a little bit to get his attention. He also charged $1 for extra ketchup (per management) which is fine- but odd when the size is so large read more

In Bend for the weekend and looking for lunch while enjoying a beverage at Crosscut. The bacon on the figs is crisp, not flabby, and the flavor combination is delicious. Wasn't too sure as I'm not a fan of Gorgonzola, but these did not disappoint. Asked if the spicy chicken sandwich could be made with a dressing other than bleu cheese, and he was happy to replace with mayo. Chef was super friendly and we would easily come back to Bend just for this food. Beautifully sunny day and laid back atmosphere definitely adds to the vibe. read more

Bluma's Chicken & Waffles - I got the lettuce wrapped Hawaiian burger - Food Trucks Near Me

I brought a friend from Arizona to this food truck. And I love fried chicken and I ordered a fried chicken sandwich which was an edible. Again I was thinking to myself God this chicken is so bad it reminds me of a place I went to downtown. And I turned around and looked at the name and I said oh my goodness this is the same place. Just a different location. The chicken was dry. It was practically burnt. The bun was like mush and fell apart and the same thing happened to my friend's burger bun. you couldn't hold onto the sandwich because everything was sliding out. Once again, I was disappointed I would've never chosen that if I recall the name of the place, I had done a review on before. I don't know why they don't clean their grease because that's one of the reasons it's so dark and they overcook it but the fact that they can't even put it on a bun that will hold the food is totally ridiculous. Hopefully, I will not make that mistake again and forget the name if they have additional locations. Attached are the photos speak for themselves. read more

We ordered some extra food from here to go with our pizzas. We got the chicken and waffles, fries, and thunder eggs. I liked the texture and flavor of the chicken more than the waffle. The fries were prefect to go with our drinks. The thunder eggs are best consumed when still warm. read more

I ordered a burger when they weren't busy. I waited 35 minutes!!! For a burger! I then received a text saying my food was ready, nope! Had to wait another 10 minutes! The best part though is that I stood there watching them plate my food the chef got something on his hand and proceeded to lick it off!!! read more

was gonna order!! super excited to try, however technology was being technology and wasn't working, not my issue at all! stuff happens, i work in a food truck myself and totally get the occasional malfunction!! however, i was standing there for maybe less than two minutes, told the guy (bald w long brown beard) that i was in no rush and didn't mind waiting, and he said it would just be a minute. however, he loudly said to the food truck next to him "i need help fixing my computer, this annoying ass customer won't leave me alone." again, i was super nice, waited patiently, i was ready to order and tip well, and was standing there (looking at the menu still deciding what to eat mind you) for not even 5 minutes. i understand the situation was frustrating, however the rudeness of the person working there (so loudly and carelessly as if i couldn't hear him), made me not want to eat there. i definitely don't appreciate the attitude, i don't think i did anything wrong by standing and waiting to give a company that was open and selling food money. read more

Wow! I have just read the comment from the owner of Bluma's. I am not out for a fight. My only reason for reviewing this business is to stop the disrespectful attitude and hoped for change. Whether you learn from it or attack an honest review is up to you. Peace! read more

This was by far the worst fried chicken experience I've had. I regret giving this place a shot. First off the service was terrible, guy working the check out was totally out of it, it was like he didn't want to make business or something. I should have turned away then but I was hungry and craving a fried chicken dinner. When I got the food the chicken plate I ordered was supposed to come with a side instead it was just poorly seasoned chicken with no side. The green beans I ordered were greasy, soggy and had zero flavor. To top it all off the picture of the desert on the website looks great with layers of crust and bananas but they literally gave me a cup of cream and pudding, zero bananas and zero crust. I feel sick to my stomach after eating this food. Two stars only because it's family owned. read more

We came for, and enjoyed, the chicken and waffles, with its great compliment of sauces, but The Star of was the Monte Cristo - the best we've had - with its fluffy multiple layered outside, gooey inside and perfectly balanced flavors read more

OK so this place gives you high-quality food had a great portion, I got four chicken tenders a great dipping sauce and the waffle was fantastic. I really feel like they could even lose a chicken tender and charge the same price it was very good. You could tell them it was fresh and the waffle had very good flavor. The meat was very Juicy. My wife had the pork chop and mashed potatoes with jalapeño gravy the pork chop was a bit dry and didn't have the taste she was hoping for the mashed potatoes were very good but the jalapeño gravy just didn't deliver. I would be interesting to try more food here come back again if you're hungry it's a good place to eat there's definitely enough food,and I'm kind of a pig. read more

(tourist review) What's Good: the Half Bird. The chicken was perfectly cooked. Very moist on the inside. We don't like white meat but we would eat it here again and again. Paired with a fluffy waffles, it's the best way to eat chicken. The spicy sauce isn't very spicy, more sweet. But still good for dipping. Grab some beers at the bar in River's Place and you got yourself a perfect lunch. It's one of the food trucks in the River's Place truck pod. Great area to relax and enjoy good food. read more

Just tried their salmon club sandwich and my daughter had their hamburger and both were fantastic. I will certainly be back for both. The fries were also delicious and nice and crispy just the way we like them. read more

This place is a 10/10 . Super prime location near Old Mill and Box Factory . The food was great . We had the cheeseburgers and opted for the banana pudding ( the pudding is not to be missed !) read more

Bluma's Chicken & Waffles - Banana pudding - Food Trucks Near Me

Brought my dad here for early father's day since his favorite food is chicken and waffles. First of all, absolutely the nicest guy ever working there. So friendly and welcoming. Made me want to order the whole menu. Chicken and waffles were great and out a smile on my dads face. The syrup with the hot sauce was fantastic. My only wish is I personally like bone in chicken vs strips for chicken and waffles, I know that would take a lot longer so probably not as ideal for a truck. But I think that would have made it 5 stars for me. I'll definitely come back and try other things, great food and loving service! read more

Actually Great. Honestly, some of the best chicken & waffles I've had in YEARS! The chicken seasoning is well balanced and spicy, juicy chicken, and that coupled with waffles and sweet tea reminded me of Missouri. would recommend. read more

Finally came back and got to try the bone in fried chicken yesterday. I'm sad that it didn't live up. The batter was so dark it was almost burnt and tasted so. The worst part was the meat was so salty that I was only able to eat one piece and will have to put the meat in something like a soup. The best part was the sweet potato fries. And the mashed potatoes and gravy were very good. I was so excited to be walking distance from a fried chicken place but sadly I don't think we'll be back. It's unfortunate as the service was great and friendly. read more

Bluma's Chicken & Waffles - Fried chicken dinner with mashed potatoes. Ordered a side of fries to try too. - Food Trucks Near Me

Had the chicken sandwich the first time and it was just ok. It was greasy and the flavors were meh. Came back for the fried chicken and was really excited for "central Oregon's best" and was sadly very very disappointed. Either the oil was too hot or dirty as the initial bite tasted burned. The next part was the worst; it was so salty I could barely take it. hours later my pallet is still suffering. I'm typically not sensitive to salt but this seemed to be possibly brined in over salted water but then over salted afterward as well as the salt affected all of the meat all the way to the bone. If this was an off night I understand but unfortunately it was so off that I'll not be able to justify the return trip. The service was excellent so I gave it an additional star. Edit: Owner reached out to me and assured me they would make it right and maybe the style of chicken was just not what we're used to. I increased by an additional star just for the excellent customer care and service. I'll definitely update my review if I have a better experience in the future. read more

The owner, Cliff or Sarah sent me a nice reply that explained the stress he was under at the time of responding to the other criticism and noting that he is fallible just like all humans. Great. There's nothing wrong with that and accepting your behavior by showing some humility like he did with me (in private) would go a long way. Why he chose to be humble and respectful to me in private but not in the public space of his response is a mystery to me. I'm not here to "teach any lessons" or "punish" his business (with a 3 star review *eye roll*) Curious if you always take criticism like this, cliff, by doubling down in public but then privately show introspection and willingness to learn from your experience? Just a thought... read more

Homemade chicken and waffles and fried chicken sandwich or some of the best I've ever had. The banana pudding is exceptional and enough for two people or more. Really nice atmosphere with live fire pits read more

I decided to give Bluma's another try and boy was I glad I did. The food was delicious and the service was with a smile.

The fried chicken is the best in town. Not pressure fried like everywhere else but actual bone in fried chicken done in peanut oil. The result is a crispy crust that holds up as it cools. Even 24 hours later this is awesome picnic chicken. If you're not a fan of fried chicken I highly recommend the RP burger made with house ground beef and bacon. If available, make sure to try the mashers and jalapeño gravy, you won't regret it. read more

Bluma's Chicken & Waffles - Delicious Bone in Fried Chicken - Food Trucks Near Me

Food is fine, but customer service needs work. Was first/only person in line for close to 10 minutes before I was acknowledged, as takeout orders were being prepared/handed out. Another 5 minutes and finally my order was taken. A little rushed and gruff - I get it, you're busy, but come on. When my order was ready, I appeared at the window and saw my food, but no one said so - had to ask if it was mine, reach for it through the window and walk away. As another reviewer noted (three months ago) - not looking for a fight, just suggesting that a friendlier attitude might make me choose Bluma's again over the many other choices I have in Central Oregon. read more

Bluma's is always my first stop while in Bend. The food is delicious and made to order quick and served hot. Delicious spicy fried chicken sandwich and the shrimp and grits are soooo good. Thunder eggs are are a decadent, spicy, cheesey ball of goodness. There isn't a bad thing on the menu. The service is very prompt and polite. You can treat yourself to a beer or whiskey in the Warming Hut while you wait for your meal. Excellent ambiance and service. read more

I posted a review with two stars and I mentioned how badly I wanted to give it five. I made a clear mention of my good experiences with the food here in my shock after an order which was so badly cooked that it never should've left the kitchen. The owner first pretended she wished I had spoken with her in person (despite all the other people's reviews that said they had such an awful experience when they called when their food was not good) First of all they are a public business and it is assumed that local businesses would like to know how they did. The owner started following and reading all my other reviews and then pretended to post a "compliment" to tell me what "kind of person I am" what I would like to say to her is please grow up and you are bad for local businesses you have a vendetta against someone who tells the truth. You actually had the nerve to post after saying you would've loved to give a refund you then wrote to me that you could not refund me (even though this had nothing to do with my review) You admitted the chefs that is oil was looking bad that night and then you had the nerve to blame the delivery driver?Then you had the nerve to personally insult me under the compliment section? Lady you're nuts leave me alone! read more

Excellent food. Spicy Fried Chx Sando and green beans my favorites. Fries great with fry sauce.

I'm very late in writing this update to my original post 2 years ago! The owner sent me a private message asking for details so they could remedy the problem.

We LOVE Bluma's! Best chicken and waffles I've ever had on the west coast. I even brought my mostly vegetarian mother here and after a few bites of their chicken club sandwich she said she would eat here every week if she lived in Bend! We've eaten here a dozen times and everything has always been impeccable. Our chef friend from PDX even called this the best fried chicken he's ever had! read more

Always great food and great service. Must have is the Monte Cristo on the weekends. We would also like to see the Thunder Eggs return.

I can't say enough about Bluma's. If you're seeking a bangin' crispy chicken sandwich or the classic chicken and waffles, this is the place! Don't just hit up breweries, check out this food cart at River's Place over by the Costco. Corey is an amazing chef and passionate about what he does. He and his crew know what's up read more
