    first glance...looks appetizing

    i as a excited to give it a try based on previous yelp reviews as i was in town for the evening. ordered the rueben with sweet potato tater tots (which ended up being the highlight of the meal) at first glance the sandwich looked as described. after eating the first half ( which was over sauced much like a sloppy joe manwhich) i opened the second half to reveal what i had surmised...half corn beef, half gristle barely able to bite through without pulling it from between the rye. the server asked me "how was everything?" and when i asked if he wanted a "honest opinion" and he said yes...when i told him i wouldn't order it again because it was more fat than meat, that it was assembled like a meat jigsaw puzzle which made eating it difficult he said Ok, and walked away very disappointing, i wish yelp wouldn't include them as bar food, its more food truck food

    No carb burger

    I went to J Dub twice over my three days in Bend this week. It was conveniently close to where I was staying and it was recommended for its delicious hard boiled eggs. They lived up to the recommendation, so we also had our meal there. I ate the no carb burger and my husband the donut burger. Both were very satisfying after a day of adventures. We went back for breakfast on our way out of town and split the huevos rancheros, which was a good choice. The service was friendly and helpful both visits.

    Biscuits and Gravy

    Went to @j_dubbend today for breakfast after seeing all the great reviews online. Can't believe we have been here ten years and are finally eating here! Didn't disappoint! Server was so nice, food and drinks were amazing. Started off with a couple of Bloody Mary's. The hubby had the regular, I had the Habanero garlic vodka in mine. Spicy goodness! We then ordered our breakfast which came out hot and fast. I had the biscuits and gravy with bacon instead of eggs, and the hubby had the Mr. October. That consisted of a biscuit with chicken fried chicken, egg, bacon, made into a sandwich and smothered with gravy. Along with seasoned fried potatoes. Definitely will go back!

    We got back from the coast well after lunch and were lucky to get our large party seated at J DUB. There were a few other full tables in the restaurant but we were lucky to have our space to ourselves. The tables lined with paper were great to keep the kids busy coloring. I ordered the wedge salad because who doesn't love eating healthier when given fried food options. The table got their special deviled eggs which they seem to dress differently rather than mix into the egg yolk mixture. My kids had a great time coloring the paper all the way through their meals. The server was very straight forward nothing above or below. We were in and out in pretty good time. We parked on the street around the corner and found a decent spot. Thankfully it was after lunch so it wasn't packed.

    Service was great, friendly and fast. The grilled ahi tacos were superb! Elk burger was good. Rock fish was a bit dark but good, not too greasy. Inviting place with a funny kids menu and big windows to look out as you eat. Clean and inviting. Not too busy for a Friday night.

    New England Clam Chowder

    Glaze Doughnut Burger is nothing I have had before so I HAD to try it! It is a smash burger so it is not too heavy with the doughnut. Scrumptious flavors and such a unique idea. Fries were yum and I loved the fry sauce. Server was very nice and the interior of J.DUB is perfect compliment to after being in the great outdoors. I would come back for this burger.

    First I have to say if you have not been here ,GO! This was our first time here Top notch service I believe maybe the guy that was our waiter was the owner but he made sure right away we had drinks refilled Checked on us many times asking if we needed anything and making sure we taken care of the entire meal . The decor super fun industrial yet cozy. I had the chicken fried chicken breakfast. The chicken was juicy and the gravy best home fries I've ever had . Crispy not greasy light and fluffy in the middle . My husband got the Mr October same thing chicken was juicy biscuit were on point delicious. This will be a go to when in bend . Go try it .

    We were looking for a spot to grab a somewhat late dinner. Much of Bend closes up pretty early, but J Dub's listing on Yelp seemed to be the answer to our dinner dilemma. We were greeted quickly and taken to a table in the front half of the establishment (the back half is the pub/bar). When we arrived we were almost by ourselves in the front, but by the time we left the entire front was full of customers. The interior has a bit of a skier vibe to it, with a lot of wood throughout. The food was good. Not anything particularly special, but it did hit the spot and we didn't leave hungry. A head's up to those who are gluten-free, their fries are battered. Once this was noticed, the server was very helpful in getting something else that was safe to eat.

    Chicken Parmesan
    K O.

    Bend, Oregon This restaurant is located downtown Bend. They have indoor seating as well as patio seating. There is also a bar at the back of the restaurant. Overall, the place is pretty small. Breakfast is served all day. I ordered the chicken Parmesan sandwich and my husband ordered the donut burger. They come with fries and their special sauce. You can substitute salad, chowder, or a choice of a few other things for a four dollar to five dollar up charge. The tables are butcher paper. They have crayons on the table for you to use. In the front room, skis, and snowboards line the wall. The floors are wood. It is a very casual place. They do have ceramic plates and real cutlery. The donut burger comes with a fried egg on top. My husband ordered clam chowder instead of fries. He said that the donut was overwhelming the taste of the actual burger. Glad he tried it, but he would not get it again. The clam chowder was average. It was thick but not hot. Would have tasted better if it was hot and not warm. The chicken Parmesan was average. The bun was delicious. The marinara sauce was good. Had chunks of tomato. However, the mozzarella on the sandwich was thrown on at last minute, and was not melted, the french fries were warm. It seems to me they have a situation with serving their food, hot or at least keeping it hot. We are seated next to the kitchen, so this is not an issue of getting the food to the table in time. The waiter was kind, but never offered to refill our drinks. I had to hunt him down to get more napkins. I would not come to this restaurant again.

It looked like something a scientist made to test the limits of happiness. Fries were solid. Soda cold. No weird nonsense. Just burgers doing burger things. Only reason it's 4 stars instead of 5 is because if I lived closer I would probably eat here too often and that feels medically irresponsible. I'd give it 6 stars if Yelp understood burgers better.

The steak and the Boursin mashed potatoes alone were very good. The pickled onions and chimichurri complemented the meat very well. The meal was supposed to include brussel sprouts but came with a grilled broccoli cauliflower assortment instead. My wife had the Scallop Risotto which was also a great recommendation from the server. In reality, The Hook & Plow deserved 3 1/2 stars but that's not an option on Yelp.

They recommend us two restaurants, and one was the Pine Tavern, where there's a lake view, which my husband were planning (anyway) to take us. We've got two hours to park there, so we hurried and we found it across the street. We were seated (by a window as I asked), and directed us to our seats. We ordered the same sandwich, with different side dish. He got French Onion soup, and I had Clam Chowder with our Half a Tuna Sandwiches. I was surprise to see vegetables in my Clam Chowder, that was a first! Both were quite good, except I didn't care for Onion Soup. Hubby loves his. I've taken photos inside, and only the next day, hubby realized there are two huge tree trunk inside the living room. ('Really? I didn't see that!' he questioned). My photo showed it, and we were talking to a cousin visiting with us, and we're talking & laughing about the trees, even after showing him my photo. It was hilarious!

We had decided to try this place because of its particular historic relevance to Bend. Luckily, since we only had a party of two, we were able to get a table relatively quickly.

We were seated in the very front of the restaurant, so unfortunately we didn't get to see the back area with the tree trunk growing through the ceiling. It was far too busy for me to feel comfortable wandering around to sightsee inside. It's a cute older building with a traditional pub vibe, and the menu mostly has a slightly elevated pub food to match. Photos of varying significance line the walls. Many seem to reflect famous people who may or may not have been patrons over the years. My boyfriend ordered the fish and chips, and I ordered the mac and cheese with bacon. While both are simple dishes, they were both prepared well and quite tasty. The waitress was very efficient, but also laid back and friendly. We liked her a lot. I don't think you're going to experience a groundbreaking culinary experience here, but we did enjoy the quality of the classic dishes we ordered. The portion of mac and cheese was so big that I took leftovers and had the second half of it for lunch the next day. The prices seemed fair for the portions we received. I would come back here again for the friendly vibe, solid food, and lack of pretentiousness.

    From the decor and atmosphere to the unique cocktails and attentive service, Dear Irene is one of…read moreBend's best restaurants. They offer a fixed menu with great starters, salads, and entrees. We ordered the scallops which were full of buttery deliciousness, the chicken which was cooked to perfection with crunchy breading on the outside, and a creamy polenta dish. You can't go wrong but be sure to order one of the salads. Our favorite was the baratta and citrus salad with olives and pine nuts. It has all the textures and sweet-salty goodness you could want. As for cocktails, our favorite was the pear and side piece drinks. The presentation is beautiful and they really are one of a kind. We'll be back!

    I randomly stepped inside this place noticing the pretty decor and classy interior. The service was…read moreexceptional from start to finish. I was served by a tall male bartender who was incredibly personable--we talked quite a bit, and honestly, I'd go back just for that experience alone. That said, the drinks he crafted and the food that came out of the kitchen gave me plenty more reasons to return. I ended up ordering an impressive amount of food, and by the time I hit my fifth large course, he joked that he'd have to pinch himself if I actually finished it. I couldn't help it--everything was that good. He also pointed me toward the owner, who clearly knows exactly what he's doing in the kitchen and carries himself with confidence and intention. Every aspect of this place felt immersive, like stepping into a classy, well-directed film. The atmosphere, the food, the service--it all came together seamlessly.

    For reasons unrelated to restaurant quality or reputation, we'd avoided Zydeco. Recently, however,…read morealong with a couple friends, we decided to give it a shot. Verdict: Zydeco is an outstanding restaurant in virtually every way. No negatives to report. The place is popular - arriving just before opening on a weekday, there was a line to get in. Reservations are definitely a good idea here. Our early arrival in line allowed us to choose a good table in the back, where it wouldn't be too hectic. That too was a good idea as the place gets loud with conversation when it fills up. Music wasn't loud, just the people. The menu isn't huge but there are quite a few, varied choices. Given the meal was a bit of a splurge for us, I essentially ignored the prices, which are not trivial by any means. Fine dining entails spending money. Zydeco has a ton of reviews and as the menu apparently doesn't change, I'll just say everything we ordered was great. Cocktails too. The Bramble Down is exquisite. Service was top tier as well. Timely, attentive, professional without being stiff. The capstone to our experience involved the bill. We actually had a gift card from 2017 - nine years ago. While it certainly didn't cover the whole bill, or even half, it was a nice way to defray costs. Unfortunately, when the server ran the gift card, it showed no balance. Not sure why but perhaps over the years, the card had been erased by stray EMF. Despite that and given we provided the card receipt, the restaurant honored the card for the full amount anyway. Well done. Highly recommended.
