We stopped by last weekend when in town for a couple days. We happened by this food truck park,…read moreand without any particular craving, I chose NWS cuz hey, you can't go wrong with chicken right? Well we were very glad with the selection. I chose a 3 strip meal with fries and a chicken sandwich with fries, no sauces, just plain. In a nutshell, even though the customer service wasn't overly friendly, the chicken more than made up for it. Both my hubby and I felt like it was the best chicken we'd had in a long time. The cook was perfect, chicken juicy and tender. The breading wasn't thick, quite thin actually, and full of flavor. No sauces needed, we just enjoyed the chicken...and I'm generally a major dipping saucer. Add to the wonderful chicken some hand cut fries, cooked well (although I like mine a bit crunchier). I highly recommend this truck for anyone in the mood for some good old-fashioned fried chicken. Two thumbs up!

I opted for the Sticky Gochujang and Jamaican Jerk (six each), thinking that would provide two disparate tastes given my experiences with both. As it turned out, not so much. Both sixes of wings were well prepared and quite tasty but were also (over)loaded with sauce. I normally expect jerk wings to be dry. The Korean wings were not so much 'sticky' as drowned in sauce. Frankly, the flavors were similar. Prices are high but that's what you have to expect these days in Bend. The wings are not small as some have suggested. Fairly normal sized, I'd say. Haven't tried a crepe yet but the photos look enticing. I give this cart a thumbs up although next time I'll try the Old Bay style which friends have reported to be of the dry variety.

Maybe they own the building? - Food is by NW Wing Shop. Good wings and other chicken-related things. Not much for vegetarians except salad and cauliflower. - It's billed as a taphouse but has a pretty small array of taps. Full bar but it's probably limited there too. - Service is Bend friendly. If you're not sitting at the small bar, order drinks and food at the front register. - Happy hour 4-6 pm.

First of all, I wanna shout out my CSR. He was really professional and really nice cool dude. I'm…read moregiving three stars here because the flavors just didn't deliver. I was initially very hungry when I first got here so I gobbled these wings down. The blue cheese is bland. It was really the highlight of why we chose the place. I don't want this to ruin anyone else's experience. This is my own. I do believe that the wings are not bad at all. It's just that they could be better. I got the wings to go, but I didn't get a peek inside and it looks like a nice place to sit down and eat. Nice TVs somber music... newer building. I would say that the wings are about a 7.5 out of 10 . My bias comes from being from the southeast. The food is just a little different a lot more flavor packed, but I would probably come back again if I were in the mood for wings. _- I should've started with the pros, but if you've read this far, the pros were the wings do come out fresh, they taste juicy, and that is always a big Turn on. No one likes the taste of processed wings. The other pro is the flavor is generally not awful. It's moderately good. So. Give them a shot :) -- If I were going to elevate this dish, I would pair it with a 10 year blue cheese with more crumbles, and add a little bit of more Parmesan cheese to the garlic and Parmesan flavor.

Restaurant Review - Fire on the Mountain - Bend, Oregon…read more I had lunch here with a friend and his wife, whom I just met. This is a very casual restaurant. In fact, pretty much everything about Fire on the Mountain is casual. The staff was mellow, and it is a standard walk-up, order, get a number, and find-a-seat setup. That part went smoothly. We sat outside, which was a comfortable space. The whole restaurant feels airy, relaxed, and yes, very casual. Our order came out fairly quickly. The food was presented well, but this is where the experience fell short. My Straight-Up Chicken Sandwich lived up to its name. It was just that, a straight-up chicken sandwich. Nothing really set it apart from what I could throw together at home. The tater tots were straight out of a school cafeteria or from my own freezer and air fryer. Two thumbs up, however, for the Hawaiian Punch. I checked with my dining companions, and they agreed their meals were on the average side. One mentioned her BBQ chicken salad was overdressed. "Doused" was the word she used. The other said the barbecue sauce on his sandwich was thin and bland. Prices are right in line with what is common these days. Sandwiches run about $16 to $17, with $2 to $3 add-ons for cheese, bacon, etc. With tip, lunch for the three of us came to about $59. That is standard for Bend now, though it still stings. I pressed the printed ticket button but never received one, and I did not bother to ask. Not a big deal. Overall, it was a nice lunch with good company. The space is pleasant, and the staff covered the basics. But the food did not stand out, and there was nothing about the experience that would make me suggest to friends, "Hey, let's go to Fire on the Mountain." I will probably pass on a return visit.

The most recent experience was on a Monday around 2:00 PM; I walk in and sit at the bar, the brewery is somewhat busy but nothing crazy at all. The bartender walks by me 4-5 times, looks at me multiple times, and never once says hello, offers a menu or anything of the sort. The last couple of times I just got up and left after 15ish minutes of nothing, but this time one of the servers (super nice btw) noticed and helped me out. I was about 2 minutes from leaving again. Overall the food is pretty good at 10 Barrel, and the Sinistor is one of my favorite beers, but this experience has made coming to this location extremely off putting. I would probably frequent the place much more often if that didn't happen consistently. Just had to share.. maybe my experience is a unique one but it has been off putting enough to mention.

Chicken is SEVERELY under seasoned and dry. You could basically get the same thing from safeway's deli across the street for $8-10. The bbq sauces taste like the different varieties of "sweet baby ray" sauces. None of it tasted housemade or special. The "hot" sauce is just a spicy buffalo. Don't know how the other locations are but for this one, save your money and time.

I'll review based on the changes although…read moreI was never a regular at Cabin 22. - Menu is upgraded, although it still says 'soft opening menu.' Includes things like pho and a Nashville sandwich (what I ordered - it's decent, spicy, but won't displace any fond memories of Hattie B's in the South). What's missing is anything at all for vegetarians, except salad and a few fried snacks. A Beyond burger would be a great addition. As it is, my wife will definitely not come here. - Seating is much the same except with mostly six-seat high tops. I believe Cabin 22 had low tops. Mobility-challenged folks might have trouble finding a spot. The patio outside is nicer, although the proximity to 14th street might render it a bit noisy. The bar is much the same. - Good tap list with lots of choices, including local beer. - Prices are in line with what you'll find in Bend these days for food and drinks. - Service might be a bit wonky what with the 'order at the bar' signs on the tables. During our visit, the bartender immediately came over to take our order and frequently returned. It wasn't busy so that might not be the norm. Bend friendly service. - I mentioned mobility-challenged folks: what hasn't changed are the restrooms. If you're wheelchair bound, you're screwed. No way to even get into the restrooms with those really narrow doors. I would have hoped the new owners would fix that ADA failure. They're also too small for the size of the restaurant. Overall, four stars. Seems like a good hangout joint for most folks. I'd be interested if the menu changes from the soft opening offerings.

The dude who took my order was SUPER helpful - since I had not eaten here before, I didn't know what was good. He provided recommendations based on his likes, popularity and portion size. We got ... forgot the name but it was a beef and broccoli with veggies - super good. And chilaquiles - holiday style (red a green sauce). Both were flavorful and hearty - very filling. Price was decent - I think it was less than $40 for both meals which, today, is great for two entrees. It was quick to come out - since it was take out and close to closing I waited in their seating area and they had water available for me - love that. We will be back to try other foods the next time we are in Bend! Well done, Spork, well done.

The ambiance and service here were top notch, definitely gives a 90's diner vibe…read more We got the Pop R Onion burger with waffle fries, which in itself wasn't bad - it was just a bit underwhelming for $24 There is a high up-charge just to switch the beef patty for a thin veggie one. It's the same price to get a double beef patty on any of the burgers as it is to switch for one veggie. Also fries are not included, which was $6 for about 6 waffle fries Maybe I'm still living in the 90s, but for that price I'd hope for a little more grand and a little more filling
