Lactose intolerant? Love the jingling Mexican drive thru but yearn for flavor and substance? Toasty is the place for you. Get what calls your heart, but the Crunchwrap and nachos are special. We got our food quickly after ordering! I wish we had a Toasty in Portland!!!

The Experience: I visited Toasty while I was on vacation in Bend and loved having so many options at one spot as a vegan. What stood out: Service: The woman taking orders was attentive with answering our questions and making recommendations. Our two crunchwraps took around 25 minutes before our buzzer rang and we went to pick it up. Product/Food: I ordered the buffalo chik'n crunchwrap and my boyfriend ordered the nacho cheeze crunchwrap. As someone who despises eating lettuce, the way the cold and warm ingredients are intentionally layered throughout the crunchwrap is beyond delicious. I ate my crunchwrap within minutes of it being hitting the table. The tortilla was perfectly flaky, the homemade ranch was an amazing texture, and the chick'n was seasoned to perfection. Ambiance: Toasty is a small food trunk in the Podski food truck pod complex. It is incredibly busy and it can be difficult to find a seat. However, it is fun and lively with some great people watching opportunities once you are seated. Toasty will continue to be our favorite spot to eat at in Bend!

We were just passing through Bend for the night on the way to Washington and looking for takeout…read morefood to eat back at our hotel. Found this place because of the killer reviews. It is located in the parking lot of a brewery that looked super cute with tons of seating both indoor and out. We got our dinners + 2 cheese plates (one for that night and one to take on our road trip). The lady that took our order didn't really like the idea that we were taking the cheese plate to go because she said they have a nice display and silverware at the brewery for it. We thought that was kind of strange, but when we ended up getting it, it was a super full box with a ton of goodies that must of been a bit of a challenge to get in the box. It probably would of been a beautiful cheese plate if we stayed there and had some beer or wine. I got the wet burrito for dinner that had griddle potatoes, smoked turtle beans, grilled mixed vegetables, roasted chilis, & caramelized onions smothered in hot enchilada sauce. I really liked it until my friend pointed out it tasted kind of like marinara and I couldn't get that out of my head. It was still good, but not the normal burrito taste. My friend got the fried rice and liked it, but thought it was better for breakfast.

Brunch was so good. Everyone left with a smile. The biggest surprise was the "cakes" with cherries…read moreon top and chocolate chips with walnuts. The proportion and textures were such a great blend--not too sweet and the whole foods added that special touch. The potatoes were also licked clean as well as the mushroom gravy with biscuits and tofu scramble. The bed of arugula under those dishes gave them a wholesome boost. Our eyes and stomaches were fully satisfied. We'll be back again this week and probably get the same thing since the combo was so good though there were other enticements on the menu! The location reminded me of a food festival, and the bathrooms nearby in the main building are clean with cool industrial finishes.

Hubby informed employee of his severe nut allergy and we were happy to learn that the only things that contains nut is their sour cream and peanut butter rub used for their seitan ribz. After looking at the menu for a few minutes, and seeing the list of ingredients for their vegan mac 'n cheeze sauce, I ordered the St. Louis Style Ribz with mac 'n cheeze and a special vegan Cuban sandwich with kettle chips while hubby ordered the classic mac 'n cheeze with tempeh. Upon picking up our food, we were impressed by the presentation of the food, the portion size and the combination of flavors. This vegan food cart is a must visit!

The restaurant runs on a highly efficient counter-service model: you wait in line to order, and a server coordinates whether you want to grab a table inside or out on the patio. Once we were seated, our food came out incredibly fast. I had the Spicy Pork Noodles, and my partner got the Yellow Curry loaded with shrimp and pork belly. Both main dishes were packed with flavor, and the crisp cucumber salad was the perfect side to share. I also ordered a hard cider to wash it down. Everything was delicious from start to finish.

Just enough spicy without being too much. Ordering at the counter seemed interesting to me due to the layout of the dining room, but the staff knew exactly what they were doing and were able to direct us to a seat easily! Our food and drinks also came in a timing manner. I really appreciated that we could see all the way back into the kitchen and there was transparency between the kitchen and the consumers. The bar looked gorgeous and I would definetly like to sit there next time for the vibes. I also loved that they provided self-serve boxes, napkins, and utensils but still had a sign asking patrons to be concious of how much they're using. The overall flow between ordering, self serve, and dining was super efficient and nice! Can't wait to come here again!

I brought this to the attention of both our server and the manager, but rather than acknowledging that something may have gone wrong in the preparation, they were adamant that it was intentional. Having worked in the food industry for more than 10 years, I have never encountered this presented as a deliberate preparation technique. Mistakes can happen, and I would have been completely understanding had they simply acknowledged the issue. Unfortunately, the insistence that this was intentional turned what could have been a minor kitchen error into a disappointing end to an otherwise pleasant dinner.

They shut the lights off in the restaurant at 9:20pm. Us and another table took the hint to finish our drinks, get boxes for the remainder of our food and leave. Outrageous. The staff rushed us in a very clear manner - they couldn't wait for us to leave. Do with that what you will- in all, there are better experiences in Bend.

I was seated quickly at a small table near the front of the restaurant by a friendly host. The restaurant itself is so fun and quirky, with colorful decor and roses covering the ceiling. It has such a cheerful, playful atmosphere that immediately puts you in a good mood. A cheerful waitress came over shortly after to take my order. I ordered the Butterflies--wontons filled with Dungeness crab, garlic, cream cheese, and green onions, served with a sweet chili dipping sauce--and the Curry Basil Noodles. Everything was absolutely delicious, and the portions were incredibly generous. Despite having a couple of large parties in the restaurant, I didn't feel like I waited long for my food. I had plenty of leftovers to enjoy later, which is always a bonus! I would definitely recommend this place and hope to enjoy another meal here the next time I'm in town.
