Stopped by Mountain Burger and was seriously impressed. The burgers are juicy, well-seasoned, and cooked just right, with fresh toppings that actually add flavor instead of overpowering everything. I ordered a classic burger and fries -- simple, but done really well. The bun held up, the meat had great flavor, and the fries were hot and crispy. Portions were generous and prices felt fair for the quality. Service was friendly and fast, even during a busy rush. This is an easy go-to spot when you want a solid burger that hits the spot without being overhyped. Definitely coming back to try more of the menu. read more

I've been sitting on this review for a bit, as I've been struggling to properly convey my disappointment for this place. Finally decided to check out this place one afternoon after passing it many times. There were 3 people eating when I arrived, so I thought it would be a quick in and out....nope. Overall ambiance is fine, like any other restaurant in Bend. No issues there. However, it was some of the SLOWEST service I've seen from a restaurant. Took over 10 minutes to even get a menu to order after sitting down. A burger and fries took way too long for that empty of a restaurant (25+ minutes), and the waiter passed our table half a dozen times with our drinks empty, ignoring my attempts to flag them down. Whatever, that's still not an issue. Seemed like a younger staff, but I couldn't imagine the service being improved if there was more than 3 people eating there. Not a great look/feel. Now let's talk about the food... ...what was that? The price of a Burger + Fry was $16 - $24 when I went. I ordered a Big Butte Burger w/ fries for $21, and it was just absolutely disappointing for what you were paying for. There was absolutely nothing special about the burger. The meat was dry, the bacon felt microwaved, and the size portion of fries given for a $21 combo was on par with a child's/small fry from McDonalds (which is a very low bar), and nothing memorable. The quality, portions, & service was what I'd expect for a $11 burger, not $20+. Five Guys is the gold standard of overpriced burgers and fries. However, if I got $21 in food from Five Guys, it's at least a healthy portion, and honestly would taste better (and served quicker). When you are being compared (and losing) to Five Guys, you know it's not good. There is SO many good restaurants in Bend that have both great food AND a great value, and Mountain Burger has neither of these things. I have honestly no idea how this place is still in business, but I cannot recommend enough to avoid this place. Please return to the drawing board and deliver a better value, because right now it's overpriced slop that will get someone curious like me to come in and try once, realize the horrible mistake they made, then go to Yelp and tell everyone how bad it is. 2/5 Stars - and that's being nice. Sorry, but this place needs a revamp and better pricing if you want to not be the default "bad restaurant" suggestion of the r/Bend subreddit. If you are interested in sending someone to an overpriced restaurant where they will leave disappointed, i.e an enemy, I cannot recommend Mountain Burger enough. Otherwise, take your time & money elsewhere. read more

Review - Mountain Burger (Bend, Oregon) - Lunch for 2 This is a review of a recent lunch with a friend at Mountain Burger in Bend, Oregon. The space is open, airy, and well cared for. We sat outside, which was a very comfortable spot. The restaurant wasn't very busy during our visit. All of the staff deserves AAA ratings. They were beyond polite, very helpful, and very professional. The service was excellent and well paced: we were quickly seated, brought water and menus, had our order taken, and the food arrived without delay. Staff checked in to make sure everything was to our liking. and closed things out smoothly with the check. Speaking of which, big thanks to my friend for picking up the tab. The burgers were very much to our liking. They didn't need gimmicks. Just simple Mountain sauce, cheese, and tasty beef. Win, win, win. I ordered the Mountain Burger without lettuce. The pickles on the side went to my friend. My burger was $16, and I added onion rings on the side (+$2). They were very crispy, though a little light on the onion itself. Still, I enjoyed the food. This was an excellent lunch experience: nothing flashy, just a comfortable space, amazing service, and a tasty, no-frills burger. read more

Loved this burger joint! They had several vegan/vegetarian options. Most importantly they labeled their burgers with level of nature impact with vegan burgers having the lowest carbon footprint. I appreciate their sustainability goals and wish more restaurants start doing this. We got the crunchy cauliflower and sweet potato burger which were both delicious. Their sweet potato fries are some of the best I've had. Service was quick. Outdoor seating with heated patio and fireplace which was romantic. read more

We had an outstanding experience at Mountain Burger. First of all, our server, Whitney, was not only helpful and cheery, but she made sure we were taken care if from beginning to end. Just fabulous. For the food, we opted for their signature burger and it did not disappoint. Fresh, locally sourced beef, and a bun that actually holds up. For an appetizer, we opted for the maple bacon sweet potato fries. Let me tell you, one of the best appetizers out there! Cocktails were well crafted and tasty, and I even walked away with one of their cool t-shirts. Atmosphere is very Bend, and totally comfy. Can't wait to go back! read more

Great burgers and fries. Had the onions rings as an appetizer then the 50/50 burger and the mountain burger. They taste pretty similar. 50/50 still tasted like a normal burger. The waffle sweet potato fries were excellent. Burgers are a little small but simple and good. Service was quick and good. Went for happy hour and prices were good. read more

A win all the way around! Great find, and seems to be a fave for locals. Awesome burger menu (especially or the faux-meat crew) with a lot of creativity. Better yet, the taste meets and exceeds the creativity. The onion rings are truly on point, as well. These folks are nailing it all around with a big beer menu (need far more NA options) and amazing mint chip ice cream cookies for dessert. Killer! Oh yeah, one more thing: all the above AND we won the Tuesday night trivia. Just sayin'... read more

Best burger in Bend hands down! Asked for my burger well done and it came out perfect which I appreciate. So many times restaurants undercook my burgers, but not this place - they made it exactly how I asked. Quality Ingredients are worth every single penny here. As someone who is very sensitive to processed food and chemicals, most places leave me not feeling so well after the meal - but not this place. I left feeling great and I very much appreciate that. Good sauces, fries are decent, wide array of options. Grass Fed Beef, Organic Mahi Mahi, and I believe Free Range or Organic Chicken. Will most definitely be back and highly recommended 10/10 read more

Our friends recommend we have dinner at Mountain Burger. I did my Yelp search and new what to expect. Our friends ordered The 50/50 Burger with fries and the Rainbow Chair Salad which they shared. They seemed to like what they ate. My wife wound up getting the Crunchy Cauliflower Burger with fries. She wanted the Vegan Sweet Potato Burger but they were out of them. I had a Chocolate Rouge Porter on Nitro. The Big Butte Burger with fries. My beer was very good. When I mentioned I new what to expect about Mountain Burger , the portions do not fit the bill. The food is good but not worth the price of admission. You should walk away full. Both my wife and I were not fulfilled. The service is friendly and accommodating. read more

They have an excellent menu with options for a variety of dietary preferences. The concept of veggie/meat blend burgers is really interesting, and the different patty options are pretty cool. The food is good, but nothing extraordinary. I got the Paradise Sando and it was tasty, but it felt like something was missing. I added a lot of hot sauce. The prices are a bit high as well. That said, the service is quite excellent. read more

Stopped in for dinner on a Weds night and immediately appreciated the interior. The place was crowded, but felt spacious and well laid-out. My wife had arrived before me and placed our order, so the food felt like it came out fairly quickly. I ordered the Hangover burger with onion rings. The burger was pretty good. i enjoyed the various textures of the toppings and it was well seasoned. The onion rings were good too. My only complaint is that by serving them in a high-sided, metal mug, the onion rings on the bottom were essentially steamed by the time I got to them. They were no longer crispy and the breading wanted to slough off. Still, the flavor was good. My biggest issue with the experience was the price. For 2 adults and 3 kids, our tab was ~$140 before tip. I ordered an alcoholic drink and the kids got kids' milkshakes, but it still seemed high. I also understand it's a high-rent area for restaurants and food service employees deserve to be paid more than they have historically. I just think there are comparable (and even better) burgers in town for less money. read more

Over priced cheese burger. We had a party of 4 and requested separate checks. Party one has a cheese burger $18.00, glass of wine $15.00 and one beer. Party 2 has Emily blazin burger $22 and a beer. Checks came wrong. We just dealt with it. The burgers are good but not worth the money. Maybe happy hour would be okay. It was so loud in there you could hardly talk to the people at our table. Night before we went to Americana burger on Bond St. great burger for $8.00, clean friendly. That our new go to burger place. Good job! read more

It has been getting better lately. The trivia night is good. The menu seems to have settled into a groove. Beer list is less crazy than before. read more

Friendly staff, very open to changes on the order. But the burgers and onion rings were way over salted.

Came here for the first time today. Was surprised to see it was full table service. Service was fantastic. Food was pretty darn good. Great flavors in everything from the patties to the fries. They even have doggie patties which I love to give to my fur babies. But... we probably won't go back. The portions are quite tiny. Like just about kids menu stuff. And the prices plus full table service tips, and you could treat yourself to a way, way more upscale dining experience for the same money. read more

Gotta love screaming kids! Very small portions for bowls/ salads. My veggie bowl had 5 tiny broccoli florets. Everything else was primarily rice. Sweet potato fries were good. If you don't do a double or triple patty, you'll be hungry later. The water tasted weird. read more

They changed the happy hour menu. No more burgers only sliders. I've been going to mountain burger for awhile. Don't like this change. And the burger was just ok. Maybe it was an off night. Also no fries with the slider. We love Alyssa the bartender. She is awesome. Like you to reconsider the old happy hour menu. Way better. read more

A lot of folks in Bend decry yet another burger joint, mentioning the many new ones that have appeared recently such as Blue Eyes, Mid-City and Americana. All added to the older establishments such as Dandy's, Bend Burger, Worthy Taps & Burgers and Hardy's. Fair point but Mountain Burger should be judged on its own merits I believe. Those merits include a very nicely appointed space with your more typical 'restauranty' area adjoining a bar section with side tables. It's a pleasant place to eat whichever section you choose. Mobility-challenged patrons will be more limited in their choices though (the bar area, for example, is probably out). What looks to be a nice patio as well; I was there while snow was falling so that wasn't an option. Note that this place used to be pflücke public house (not capitalized) until recently. The burger: I opted for the happy hour deal of $8 for a Mountain cheesburger. Side of fries is extra, $5. I thought the burger to be very good - well cooked, well constructed, not huge, with a fairly moist bun. Fries could have spent some more time in the fryer but you get a substantial portion (again, not huge) and they're tasty. Service: my friend Michele R - a Bend/Boise OG Yelper - mentioned in her excellent review (All her reviews are that, by the way. Follow Michelle on Yelp to get great insights on places to eat here and in Boise.) that the service was subpar, at least for her visit. Other reviewers have posted similar experiences. I'm happy to report that my server was top notch: friendly, helpful and efficient. No complaints in the least. Prices are reasonable. I mentioned the HH deal and they offer a $10 Wednesday deal as well (lunchtime - ends at 3PM). All burgers, loaded fries and salads are $10. Full bar by the looks of it. I'm a beer guy and they offer several local and regional craft brews on tap. 6$ for a full 16 oz pint, although strangely beer is not mentioned on any of their downloadable menus. Yeah, Mountain Burger is another burger joint in town but it's a good one. read more

The food was pretty good but the service was amazing our server (Lauren) was nice hard working it was a little expensive

Feeling like I needed to update as Mountian Burger is now in a good groove. They sorted out prices and now it seems as close to perfect as you can get for what it is, casual dining with a bar in NWX. YELP SHORT ANSWER: Yes.. go have fun. Great location, buildout, hours, menu, happy hour, and the direction the ownership team is taking this great location will bode well in making it a long-term player on the Westside. It is not easy opening a F&B establishment in Bend as labor has been hard to find and keep, but it seems after several visits like everyone is happy and happy to see customers. The food and drinks are all really great, it is simple with great prep. Enjoy! read more

Fun area, with a tiny strip of small businesses and restuarants. Both indoor and outdoor seating available, with heaters outside. Pleasing decor and views of the mountains create a nice ambiance. Fantastic service, as theee very nice staff greeted us and asked if we wanted to start with drinks while deciding on food. The menu is a creative in how it approaches hamburgers: originally style, in a bowl, or a salad. I opted for a lettuce wrap and it was wonderful! The staff is knowledgeable and able to steer clear of gluten and offer alternative ways to create your meal. Each dish can be "elevated" with sauce, meat, or additional toppings. Each of us orders something different: bowl, sando, and lettuce wrap. Each tasted wonderful! I wanted to try each aioli variation. Will definitely be back when returning to Bend! read more

Just got food to go here and we got the mountain burger with onion rings and the chicken sando with fries. Everything that could have gone wrong, went wrong.

Not coming here again. Cool locash though. read more

Great GF burger! An unexpected find as we where just out hiking and happened upon it. Will defiantly be stopping here again!!

This place is a very upscale for burger joint. However, they serve up so serious grub. I had the Mountain Burger with a side of Onion Rings. The cheeseburger was loaded with condiments and a tangy sauce. Served on a Potato Bun which was delicious. The Onion Rings were so good. after eating a few rings I dipped them in their ketchup. Delicious. The service was slow at first, but got better as the meal went on. This place isn't cheap, but it's tasty. read more

Chopped liver. As metaphor for how we were treated by the server from the moment we sat down. Was it our ages or my disability that made it so or is he like this always? I know not but given I used to live in Bend and am a fan of the man who owns Mountain Burger for his other enterprises, Washington and The Drake, I'll enter in the benefit of the doubt that this young man has been retrained or given the boot from this new Northwest Crossing located eatery. He ruined what was an otherwise fun discovery and for which I made reservations. I can't believe I tipped him 20% but I feel like a cheapskate if that isn't the minimum tip these days (I once worked front of house in this industry including as server in the ancient times) so with food and tip the early dinner meal was about $70 and it was not a good value hospitality experience return on that investment and it was largely service that sunk the ship. The more I think about it the more I regret tipping him. And that is really out of character for me to say. THE SCHTICK: Burgers of all kinds, some specialties of the house and some that can be customized in any way your imagination takes you. Also milkshakes of all kinds and if I'm in again when visiting family I'll for sure order one of those. A full bar with creative cocktails both full octane (my hubby had a rum, pineapple, curacao drink served tall, Unscrewed $15 that he said was great) and unleaded (I had a soft cocktail made with jam...a first for me... Free Spirited $10 and I almost ordered a second it was so yummy). Although beef burgers are the majority here, as one would expect, we appreciated they offered a veggie burger, Manzanita $12, house made I think and delicious and a lamb burger $15, equally delicious, but the fail point on both of them was a potato bun that was very dry. In a nice touch the burgers - all are 4 oz as standard I think - arrive on heated plates. Garnished with only a pickle (a good one) and sides are available for only about five bucks. I ordered a side green salad $5 mostly because I wanted to try the Green Goddess Dressing that I could order with it. The dressing was great. I hope Ted keeps it on the menu. It would make a great burger spread too. But the side salad was a disappointing small mound of wilting romaine lettuce that had seen better days; I didn't eat it. SERVICE: My opening comments established that on this day for our experience it was lousy and at the end of the meal the check was "drop and go" without asking if we wanted dessert. And they weren't busy, soon after opening and not even a quarter of tables in use. Again, this is not typical of what we've experienced at Ted's other places. Maybe a one-off here. Your service-mileage may vary here. For the better I hope. LOCATION: Northwest Crossing neighborhood right next door to one of our fav little stop in to look-see-and-buy-something markets, West Coast Provisions. VIBE: There used to be a German-esque eatery that was short lived at this location and the new owner has done a good job of updating, refreshing and making it more inviting and sort of mountain theme. The outside patio is great and has the benefit of afternoon shade orientation in Bend's hot summer into fall weather. It has all standard height seating...cheers for that since all people can use it unlike the high perch tables there with the previous business. Inside has bar with high seating and a mix of high seats, step up booths (I am not a fan but they are a signature of all of this owner's eateries) and a standard height tables. In general this owner has been genius in crafting interesting spaces and he did it again here. ACCESSIBILITY: Patio has accessible seating. No accessible seating in the bar that I could see. My guesstimate is maybe four seats in the restaurant would be accessible to wheelchair users if you are planning for yourself or a family member. PARKING: On street in NW Crossing can be difficult at some times of day. There are parking lots behind some of the buildings. NOTE: During summer months there is a great Farmers' Market on this same NW Crossing street on Saturday mornings until about 2p I think. read more

Terrible service. Band was playing outside and there was an 1 1/2 hour wait for food, so decided to stay for a cocktail.

With a band they should have been well staffed. Very disappointed read more

It was pretty bad , we had a semi big group of 7 , only ppl there for breakfast , it took over 30 min for 5 orders of bacon , eggs and toast , and a horrible horrible loco moco, staff was great , and friendly , but food took forever and food was pretty bad ... a real bummer because this location is awesome in NW Crossing ! read more

Cute, rustic, interior. Fast service for 5 people. The delicious burgers are a little on the small side, but they make up for it by giving you a mug full of fries, not as good as the burger but still good. read more

Nice quality burgers and service was a pleasure. Great experience all around. Excited to come back.

The service was good. The staff was nice and welcoming. I like the concept. The burger was small and underwhelming for the price. The house salad with the burger was depressing and the salad dressing (dill) had no flavor. The shake....pricier than a mixed drink and gone in 30 seconds. It was good but not worth the price tag. read more

Terrific service but dismal food. The pickle on our plate was the winner. My friend ordered a salad with green goddess dressing. We all agreed there was something wrong with the dressing. It tasted terrible like rancid olive oil. The sweet potato fries and regular fries were very underwhelming and blah. It's hard to mess up fries. While we liked the idea of a custom burger, the options seemed lacking overall and the burgers were awful. My impossible patty was not cooked properly and was lost on the bun, which was flakey and fell apart. There wasn't enough condiments. My partner didn't like his burger either and also thought the bun was flakey and weird. For a place that only slings burgers, they should be the best and these were some of the crappiest. Plus Bend already has so many places to buy a burger! The service was good, the booths very comfortable, the interior pretty but we won't be back and hope something else more innovative comes about. Last comment, since we were seated near the kitchen we were stuck smelling grease constantly read more
