We were in Bend around lunchtime before checking into our vacation rental in Sunriver, so I yelped a place to eat of course! This place came up and sounded good with vegetarian options for me. We found parking easily and walked up to a 30-40 minute wait... on a week day! Wow, busy. We decided to wait because we figured if we went somewhere else it would probably be around that long to get to eat elsewhere. It probably was about 30 minutes for a seat on the patio, which was super nice in the shade. We got the menu and I decided to order a vegan black bean soup with a side of sweet potatoes and brussels sprouts. I also got a pomegranate drink, which was a refreshing start to the meal. My husband ordered a burger and added a fried egg. The food took a bit to come out and by the time it did, we were starving and dug in. It was really delicious and filling. The black bean soup had a twist of lime and was so unique and flavorful! I loved it. The sweet potatoes were also delicious, though they had a greasy/oily appearance. I liked dipping them into the soup. And finally, the brussels sprout were also super good. My husband enjoyed his as well. Service was great throughout. We'd definitely visit again if vacationing in the area! read more

7 months later and we made it back to Bend! Of course, our Bend trips are not complete without a visit to Chow! We adore this little house and the breakfast they serve. This time while we waited, only 20mins, we were served Bloody Marys. Nice to be served drinks while you wait for your table! After we placed our order, they brought over some fresh banana bread...so fresh it was still warm. The best nana bread! Our breakfast was just as good as we remembered it from our first time here, fresh local ingredients! I would love to see them do dinners! I think Chow would be seriously dangerous if their dinners are anything like their breakfasts! read more

One of my favorite breakfast spots, especially when I'm craving eggs benedict! They have great outdoor seating too!

Hot hippie chicks serving wholesome delicious fare..needless to say, my husband loved it!!! :) It's an awesome place, with very pleasant outdoor seating, and they even plant some of their veges. I had the greatest eggs and potatoes (see pic), hubs had fluffy, delicious pancakes. They also made a great sangria with fruit. Naturally, he wanted to go back the very next day... read more

I depend on fellow Yelpers to steer me in the right direction for new food adventures and CHOW did not disappoint! Located in an unassuming location in a sweet little house CHOW is a masterpiece on the palate. We were warmly greeted and immediately seated next to the window overlooking their sustainable gardens. My husband opted for the buttermilk crusted chicken fried steak with roasted potatoes while I went for The Vinny (their version of Eggs Benedict served over house made bread) with cornmeal-crusted tomatoes. Our meals came out promptly and oh so delicious. Their house made hot sauces were an added bonus for those of you brave enough to brave the heat. Our service was top-notch and I would highly recommend making this a breakfast destination if you're in the area. read more

Chow - SUCH good food!!! The Vinny with cornmeal crusted tomatoes. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Bend, Oregon

This place is great. The kids had a great time and the food was amazing. We would go again the next time we are in town.

Very quaint restaurant in Bend. We went there for a late breakfast. The food was very good, everything is made in house. The service however was very slow, this is why they lost one star. The food was delicious. The coffee they served was not great, we were expecting better coffee to be served at a restaurant in Bend. read more

We came here for breakfast this morning, and it was a great experience. There was a little bit of a wait when we arrived at 8:15 but there's a cozy fire pit outside, and if you're bundled up, you'll be fine! After about a half an hour, we were seated and were promptly served. The space is in a little house, featuring local art and really homey decor. The coffee was smooth, and the food came out quickly. I had the Eggs a la Cesar, which were super flavorful. I chose the potatoes for my side dish, and I was very satisfied with them! My friends ordered the biscuits and Huevos Rancheros, and had nothing but good things to say about them. The hype is real with this place! I enjoyed it a lot. read more

We stopped here during our road trip to Seattle from California. The wait for Saturday brunch was not bad. We showed up at 11AM and got seated within 25 minutes waiting. I tried the country fried steak which was highly recommended from other Yelp reviews. It was definitely worth it. The service was nice and fast. read more

This place is super cute! It's a house that has been converted into a restaurant. They also have their own garden in the yard which you can easily see from the street. My sister and I came here not expecting too much but we were pretty happy with our food. We came in on a Saturday around lunch time and it was packed. We even had to wait about 20 minutes before getting a table for two. I ordered the Blackstone which was really good! I loved that it was poached eggs on top of a halved tomato. The spinach and bacon as well as the bearnaise was delicious! My sister ordered the Samson. She enjoyed it but I'm not a huge fan of crab cakes so I thought it was okay. They also offered us free coffee since I checked in on yelp. Overall, we were really happy with our food. They also have three different hot sauces you can try. Two of them were pretty spicy but I loved the red hot sauce which was spicy but perfect to where I could still enjoy my meal and not feel like my mouth was on fire. The service on the other hand was okay. Our waiter seemed a bit cold and wasn't very friendly. There was other staff who helped drop off our food and cleaned our dishes and they were all nice but our waiter definitely had a chip on his shoulder. I even tried to ask if they sold their hot sauce and he gave me a really cold response and walked away. If it wasn't for their food being good, I probably would've rated this lower. Bottom line, go for the food. It's a great place to stop in and try if you're in Bend. read more

Charming little place, great food & friendly service. Definitely a local feel to it. The staffs were super nice and attentive. Although there are no reservations, we called in on our way to leave our name. Wait was maybe 10 minutes when we arrive 1pm on a Sunday. We didn't mind because the outdoor fire pit was really cozy! Food was delicious! I love their in house sauces. I also noticed the garden in the front yard walking in and will definitely be back during the summer. read more

The food here is really quite good. There are some unique items like crab cakes and roasted tomato omelettes as well usual staples. They were out of a few things and the place was a little in need of some tidying (dirty curtains and lots of flies due to indoor/outdoor seating. However, you have to know your environment. It's a hipster place and vibe. Your likely to be sitting on fluffy cushions and listening to Bob Marley. So if it's not what you want to take your mother in law to - then don't. But otherwise try it! read more

Went here this morning and had a horrible experience. After they sat us at our table no one checked on us until we ask who our server was 15 minutes later. The whole time one of the guys working was yelling at the staff and made it really uncomfortable. I ordered the scramble special which was $17. When our food came out it was like warm and looked like an $8 plate worth of food. I ordered toast with my meal and they were out of jam. Finally once we were fed up with listening to the guy yell at the staff we decided to complain to our waitress about our experience and she said that it was the owner that was yelling at everyone. At that point we asked for our check and left. read more

Unfortunately this sweet quaint spot has gone so downhill in the current climate, on top of cross street construction and lack of staffing. There were two baby mice scurrying across the restaurant floor while we were eating.. We have alerted the health department. Food wise- the French toast was unimpressive and $5 for a dried up single sausage was ridiculous. No one had the time to ask how our meal was or check in with us. Not worth visiting. read more

I'd like to start by saying that we've visited Bend numerous times and every time we've made it a point to visit CHOW for breakfast or brunch. We were very much looking forward to it this trip. As with other low reviews, the wait was LONG. However, every other time we honestly didn't care because it had always been WELL worth the wait. Not sure what's happened but those days are clearly over. We went on a Sunday morning & not only was no one being seated inside, there were at least a couple of open tables outside the entire time we were waiting. I've waited tables before and I understand sometimes being understaffed can cause longer wait times. I also understand that no restaurant wants to completely overwhelm the kitchen if they want to put out quality food. Again, not sure what the reason was here, but neither seemed to be the case. I ordered a Bloody Mary at the outside bar (as I always have) to sip while we waited. About 2/3 of the way into the drink I suddenly felt sick -- shaky, cold sweats -- I NEEDED to sit down. We found a spot in the shade & I eventually started feeling better (but obviously didn't finish the drink). No clue what that was about. Finally, after probably 50 minutes, we were seated, but this was after watching at least 3 parties who showed up AFTER us be seated before us. By the time we sat down I felt better but still not great. My husband was properly hungry by this time and ordered one of the Benedict dishes. I needed to be safe and ordered the buttermilk pancakes. My husband maybe had 1/3 of his meal & mentioned a couple of times that something didn't taste right. I had a few bites of my pancakes and had to stop. They weren't good. We got the check, drove back to the apartment we'd rented and I slept off whatever the hell was going on for about 3 hours. Later that afternoon my husband started feeling bad. We spent the entire next 36 hours in the apartment with him sicker than he's ever been. We looked up other reviews today. I have to say that the managers responses have been narcissistic at best -- taking zero responsibility and literally blaming customers for their experience or even blaming the weather (in one review, a patron was sitting inside and the roof was leaking on them the entire meal and the managers response was "it was raining that day"). WTF? My husband certainly had far from a "blessed" experience and it's worth mentioning that his meal was the only thing he had that I didn't. I'm sure the manager response to this (if any) will be more of the same lame excuses and wishing blessings. Don't bother. Taking 5 days to visit Bend and having basically 2 days of it be taken away from us because of this meal is very disappointing. CHOW will no longer be on our list when we visit Bend in the future. There are many more options to choose from in this amazing town! Just read their Yelp reviews first :) read more

One of the best breakfasts I've ever had! Chow is amazing! My wife and I were visiting Bend and this place was highly recommended by our Airbnb host. So glad we went! We each got one of the many benedict varieties, and both were insanely good! I'm going to have food dreams about the eggs ala Caesar, seriously. They also have three hot sauces available on each table, all of which are good and different. The habanero one is the best! Also, the OJ was legit. Go here if you're in Bend, like now! read more

We have eaten here many times and the food is amazing!!!! I realize this is Covid but come on..... it's ok to not have dry biscuits with minimal gravy.... we asked for ketchup for potatoes and they brought 1 tsp in a cup.... eggs were bland and our waitress only came to the table once which was to bring our check..... disappointed read more

This place was so good, and shout out to the staff who kick ass. Y'all work hard and are very sweet! I think I asked our server for multiple things because I was having pregnancy cravings! read more

Love this place! We always come here at least once for breakfast when we visit Bend, OR They have a band playing out front on the patio during the summer months, which makes the usual long wait more tolerable. Just grab a bloody mary or mimosa while you wait and listen to the band...the time goes by fast and you'll want to stay longer! They're even dog friendly on the patio! We left our pooch at home, but enjoyed watching and petting all of the well behaved dog guests. Erin has been our server each time we've eaten there! She's awesome!!! She's been a server there for a long time...glad she's still there! She offers great recommendations...we haven't been disappointed yet...and she's funny! Great personality! The 2 young bussers, Leighton and Wesley were really hard workers too! They really hustle! They all did! The ONLY negative about this place (in our opinion)...and the reason we rated it 4-stars, is that we feel the patio area could be a little cleaner...maybe a good pressure washing ... But we'll be back!!! Thank you all for such great service! read more

I love chow for a fun breakfast. The decor is so fun and the food is amazing. The plates are massive so you can definitely share with a friend if you want. In the summer there outdoor deck is really fun and has a great little bar. The only downside is how unbelievably crowded it can get. It is because they have great food but there are other options in town that don't get quite as busy on the weekend. I would skip it though, just go on a week day or if you have time to spare just grab a breakfast cocktail and hang out! read more

Was honestly very sad this place wasn't better. Food: we got the breakfast Sando with ham (great!!) and the Caesar (added tablespoon chorizo for 4.50..literally thought they forgot because the one poached egg completely hid it), all around wasn't all that great and the grits tasted like nothing and were cold and hard. Coffee was good, wife said her hot chocolate wasn't anything special. Service: server was super friendly just was wayyy to busy and appears as though they are a little short staffed so I don't hold that against them/server. Overall: for the second highest rated breakfast in all of Bend we were all around disappointed in the overpriced bland food read more

Great environment , good and fresh food. I got the corned beef hash, it was very full of flavor but I personally like the beef to be more tender. . Other then that, perfect little brunch spot ! read more

Absolutely the best breakfast in all of Central Oregon. The benedict that I had was ridiculously good. I told our waiter I wanted to get the chef's phone number and ask her out on a date. The house potatoes were seasoned immecably, the bloody mary was spicy with horseradish, the eggs cooked perfectly, the outdoor deck was peaceful yet bustling, the service was fantastic. I have no complaints whatsoever about this restaurant. Five stars without a doubt! read more

So this is a gourmet breakfast. I'm old school and was actually disappointed with the menu because I just wanted eggs, potatoes, and an English muffin with coffee for under $8. The cheapest entree was the 'local' which was 2 eggs with seasoned potatoes, a gourmet toast and a reasonably sized sausage patty - for $9.99. Most entrees are between $12 and $15. The decor is vintage, rustic, and funky. Service was ok... Overall - I would just prefer a normal non-gourmet breakfast place where I could switch up the menu items on my plate. read more

This place is next level. I got a Cubano, because I watched Chef and have literally been craving one for months. I couldn't even handle it. Perfect pickles, sweet braised pork and nice and salty ham. Manmosas and great coffee. Could a man ask for a better meal? The service was spot on. We're talking fast. Full house, busy, we had 3 plates and must have waited 8 minutes. Tabbed out quick and it was all over. I have no regrets. Seating is limited so come later or earlier than the 10 am crowd. Sit outside around a firepit while you wait. Enjoy. read more

We are out of Towners and this was our first visit to Chow. You're going to wait for a table here...most people or groups were waiting for about 45-60 minutes. There's a coffee stand but they don't tell you that you will have $3 tacked onto your tab which was a not so good surprise. My tip for that is to go to the coffee shop down the block and get something worth $3 to take in with you or to enjoy for your wait... Anywho the food. I ordered the Caesar and my goodness are the rojo and verde sauces scrumptious! Not spicy but had a good warmth. The hubs ordered the chicken fried steak. It was good and the blue cheese on top was an awesome addition. read more

We found this place on a whim and it was easily one of our favorite meals while staying in Bend on our recent trip. We came for breakfast in the middle of the week in February. From the moment we walked in, all four of us in our party fell in love with this place. We couldn't stop looking at all of the fun artwork on the walls. The restaurant itself is in a super cute house that has been refurbished to accommodate diners. All four of us had a Bloody Mary. Two had the jalapeño Bloody Marys and the other two had the roasted garlic Bloody Marys. They were so good and loaded with pickled veggies. At 9 bucks a piece, these could easily be a meal in a mason jar. The food was amazing. Lots of healthy, locally grown breakfast and lunch options. There was even a special vegan and gluten-free menu. Perfect for us because we had a vegan in our party. She's the one who picked this place!! Everything we ordered was delicious. The service was super friendly. The vibe was just right. I got the feeling we were the only tourists in the place, but no one treated us any differently. We got great food with outstanding service. Chow is now on our Must Eat At When in Bend, Oregon list. I can't wait to go back and introduce this place to a friend of mine who is gluten-free!! read more

LOVE their food! Service can be a little slow but the setting is so gorgeous that it doesn't bother me one bit.

Must try the Crab fondue Benny. Sweet real chunks of crab with delicious creamy fondue sauce Benedict. Must try all 3 of the bottled salsas, I liked the spicy carrot habenero sauce Staff were very nice and attentive especially since I went there with my 5 month old baby. Our waiter actually carried him around while he chatted with me. They also gave us some cucumber slices to keep the little guy occupied while I ate. The customers and staff we're very nice. Definitely recommended, read more

Wow. What a mixed bag. I like that this is a truly local joint. I LOVE that the owner and its staff embrace the Bend concept of organic, local food with attention to detail. When I arrived, I was pleased with the pleasant outside garden, which I understand is used to harvest many of the herbs used in the various dishes. My waiter, though, seemed to be a little...mmm...."self-medicated." He attempted to serve me before the people next to me, who were seated first. I suggest he get their order first, but then didn't see him for another ten minutes or so. When he did arrive, I ordered the chicken fried steak (created from beef from a local rancher), and requested a side of buttermilk biscuit instead of the potatoes. He was very accommodating, in his lax kind of way. When my food arrived, I had a small portion of chicken fried steak,a biscuit that was more...mm....corn-bread like than buttermilk, and eggs over-easy. Yolks so soft it flooded my plate with yellow. I didn't specify, but he didn't ask how I wanted my eggs. Way over-easy seems an odd default choice, but okay.... The steak was incredibly good though. Very well seasoned, nicely breaded, and very flavourful. The biscuit wasn't what I expected, or even...really wanted, but was quite good nonetheless. My waiter stopped by and made his pleasantries, but then a (I believe) manager stopped to ask how things were. I said, "Pretty good. I mean, good." She queried, "Only pretty good?" I mentioned that the eggs were not how I preferred them, but since I never specified, I wasn't really complaining. She asked how I liked them, then said, "I'm sure you were never really asked how you wanted them." Ten minutes later, I had a couple of fried eggs in front of me. My waiter came by, checked on me, and apologized as well. My refills were kind of slow in coming...and the food was exquisite, but there wasn't very much of it. It's hard to tell what I Think of CHOW....I enjoyed the food, but I was kind of eager to leave. I kind of what to go back again and see how everything is. I wish them success...I just wish I wasn't, like, supposed to be honoured by their attention to me. read more
