Atmosphere: Nice old tavern-like atmosphere inside, patio overlooking the river outside. Food: Fish tacos were good, but a little bit of a thin slice of fish. Price: Happy Hour prices were good. Don't remember the regular menu Service: Sat at the bar. Was easy to get the bartender if we needed anything. Parking: Lots nearby or street parking. read more

Pine Tavern Restaurant - Fish tacos HH - American Near Me - Bend, Oregon

Wasn't impressed at all. Service was sooooooo sloooooow! The table behind us ended up going to the bar to order drinks after being seated for 20 minutes. We ordered the calamari for an appetizer, it was good, not overly cooked. I had clam chowder which had good flavor as well. For entrees we had the chicken fried chicken and the fish and chips. The chicken was by far better than the fish. The tartar sauce was not good at all, tasted spoiled to me. The fish was nothing to get excited about either. The best thing I had was the fries. I get that they are the oldest restaurant in town and maybe that's what they are banking on, however, quality and speed of service are missing big. We were never asked if we wanted another drink, never had our waters refilled, but they sure didn't forget if we wanted dessert! Gotta make sure you get that money or at least try...we passed on the dessert. I only gave it 2 stars due to the view we had, it was probably the best thing we had, the fries were the 2nd best. Updated from 2 to 1 star. After I posted my initial review while sitting at the table. They brought our check, I put my card down on the check. We then waited and waited and waited! I finally became impatient, took the check up to the hostess to see if they could cash us out. Of course they had to get a manager to do that. Clearly, they are not staffed appropriately to have people waiting for long periods of time on each step of the dining experience. read more

Superb dinner. I enjoyed the steelhead entree, and my spouse had the ribs. We also ordered a side of macaroni. Total YUM. To top off the meal, we split a sky high Oreo pie. Huge and absolutely the bomb. Could be shared amongst a table of 4. Our server was fantastic, very friendly, helpful with our menu questions and attentive. The place is a classic, and I plan on taking visitors to the Pine Tavern. I may ask for a 'snuggle booth' which is a table with cozy drapes. read more

We parked in front of the Wells Fargo Bank, and two security guards were watching us, and since they've been watching us, I confronted them, where a good place to have lunch. 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! Our waitress gave us a complimentary dessert for our wedding anniversary. We picked Sky High Mud Pie. (Thank you!) We made the right choice to come here! BTW: They also have nice restrooms, and curtain for privacy room dining. read more

Outdoor seating was great, right on the banks of the river. The service was good, efficient and friendly. The food was good, not great. We'll try other items on the menu next time. We'll try the clam chowder instead of the French onion soup next time. read more

Visited on a Sunday evening. We were able to get last-minute reservations for 8 PM just a few hours before. Highly recommend sitting in the back patio garden if the weather is good it was beautiful in August. The service was very friendly and timely for us. We had the calamari, rockfish and fish and chips They were all very good and I especially like the fish and chips. read more

Pine Tavern Restaurant - Fish and Chips - American Near Me - Bend, Oregon

Poor attention to detail. Can't take reservations for 10+ online or by phone. They won't respond to you unless you follow up a few times then they confirm they can't accommodate. Savannah - bad news. Doesn't know what she's doing. Hostesss was just as bad. Avoid like the plague. read more

I had a great experience at Pine Tavern in Bend. I ordered the chicken fried chicken (which is essentially fried chicken), and it was excellent. The batter had a great texture and flavor without being over-seasoned, and the chicken itself was incredibly moist and cooked perfectly. There were three of us at our table that ordered it, and everyone loved their meal. The mashed potatoes were outstanding--smooth, well-mashed, and had a great consistency. The mac and cheese was also very good. It wasn't overly cheesy, is that's your preference. Remember to add bacon. The ambiance is decent, the location is fantastic and adds to the overall experience. The service was friendly, attentive, and efficient throughout our meal. Overall, I'd definitely recommend Pine Tavern if you're in Bend. Great food, good service, and a beautiful location. I would eat here again. read more

Finally convinced my husband to give Pine Tavern another try after a previous disappointing experience. Sadly, his opinion was only made worse by our recent dinner. Although the ambiance on the patio is nice, indoors is very dank and dark. The food and service were both lacking. Our salad never arrived and no one checked on us during the meal. We definitely "fell through the cracks." Food quality was just average. Cocktails were good. On a final note, this restaurant charges a service fee when paying with a credit card. I know it's becoming more common, but it's still off putting. Sadly, I don't think we will be returning. read more

Sadly we were one of the ones who had the slowest service ever. It was an hour and 10 minutes before our dinner plates appeared before us and we had already set a cut off time to pay for our drinks and leave. Unfortunately they seemed highly understaffed yet they continued to set people at every single table even though they knew full well that the kitchen could not keep up. My steak was overcooked and the chicken while moist seemed particularly bland. Clam chowder was meh and the wedge salad was good but who are we kidding, it's a wedge of iceberg lettuce dressed up. Ambiance was lovely. Sadly it's a place that would never get a redo from us. Our poor server kept apologizing yet no attempts were made to appease us with a free drink or dessert. Not that we needed anything free but at that point it just seemed as if the restaurant should be trying to make amends. Also we heard a server asking a table behind us if they'd like clam chowder while waiting and she excitedly said "it's on the house because of your long wait"! Really? ‍ read more

Delicious food! Would recommend sitting out on the patio, it's right on the river and very beautiful! I tried the chicken marsala and it was very tasty! read more

This is the oldest restaurant in Bend, Oregon. It's super cute and rustic. They've got a nice menu and the server was probably the best server I've had in years. I wish I could remember his name, I'd love to give him a shout out. I went with a group of 7 and unfortunately, didn't take any pictures of the food. But it was just OK in my book. Everyone else in my party seemed to really enjoy their dinner. We had a couple people that got Caesar salads with shrimp, the steak salads and one person got the marsala chicken. I also really liked the little scone donut bread with the honey mustard that they brought out in the beginning. When the server was going over the specials, he did mention a prime rib. I don't even eat a lot of beef anymore, but for some reason that appealed to me that day after probably 30 years of having a prime rib. So I ordered an end cut because that's what I would typically eat. The end cut has the most seasonings. When it arrived, it was a massive portion of meat, almost comical that one person could possibly eat that in one sitting. I like leftovers so right on. I've got to say, it was seasoned well but it was SO dry! If it wasn't for the au jus and the horseradish sauce I'm not sure if I could've gotten it down. In retrospect I probably should've said something to the server, but then they would've just taken it back and wasted it. I have a hard time wasting meat because that cow died for someone to eat it. I didn't want to complain about the food, but then still eat it because then it looks like I'm trying to get a free meal which was not my intention. I did enjoy the potatoes and the asparagus AND I took the rest of the prime rib home and made sandwiches with it after soaking in the au jus, which were nice with some melted cheese and horseradish sauce. read more

This place has it all. Great food and service! We will continue to go here in the future.

My boyfriend and I had dinner here our first night in Bend, which happened to be St. Patrick's Day. We had totally forgotten the day, and were surprised to find the entirety of downtown packed with people! 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. They had live Irish music for the celebration and people were packing in like crazy. 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. read more

Mediocre food, high prices, boring and bland people. I'll skip it in the future. This restaurant had no character.

Absolutely amazing!!! some of the best food me and my wife have ever had, and we are foodies. I had the pesto shrimp linguine I'm telling you it is the best shrimp pasta I have ever had in my life!!! don't forget about the bread oh my goodness out of this world! 10 out of 10 and then some. Service was amazing, place ambience fits the lifestyle. Will definitely be back. Sorry I didn't get a pic of the pesto. Did get a pic of this amazing bread pudding, which was also super delicious. Compliments to the chef, amazingly well! read more

Classic joint. Have had a few things here and everything has been pretty solid. In the past I've enjoyed the French onion soup and the chicken fried chicken. Recently I tried the Reuben and French Dip. The French Dip was aiight, but the Reuben was spectacular! I'm not even necessarily one to order a Reuben. It was delicious! Truffle fries and salad were an upgrade. Fries were super garlicky, which I enjoy. If I could do one thing differently I would have asked for a side of mustard with the Reuben. Yummm!!! read more

We came in last minute and were able to grab a reservation online. The service was incredible. I forgot our server's name but he was on it the entire time. The atmosphere is really cool, especially the tree in the middle of the dining room. The patio view looks like it would be great in summer too. Food was mostly solid. The bread with honey butter was super sweet and felt more like starting dinner with dessert. The French onion soup was good but a little watery and needed more salt. The classic wedge was perfect and crisp. Mac and cheese tasted extra cheesy with a little al dente bite. We had a celebratory peach crumble that was good but lacked flavor and tasted more like hot peach's with too much cinnamon and oats poured on top. Overall it was a good experience and the service definitely outshined the food. read more

Visit: Oct 8, 2025 Score (1 - 5): Hostess - 0 Waitress - 4 Food - 4 Portion Size - 3 Prices - 3 Ambience - 3 Been coming here for almost twenty years. Was looking forward to celebrating our wedding anniversary this evening. Should have just turned around when the hostess didn't even greet us, or acknowledge our anniversary, and then sat us in the back with a great view of several window tables that remained empty all night. Waitresses were having to bus their own tables, food took almost 45 minutes to arrive, wood seats were super uncomfortable after about the first 30 minutes, sodas were flat, meals were OK, scones tasted pre-packaged. Just not that great an experience. Sorry. read more

Been going there for many years and unfortunately the food has been disappointing the last few times we have been there....spoke to the manager and she was extremely rude and basically could of cared less what we thought we will never go back read more

Omg - amazing all around! From the hostess to our server, customer service was EXCELLENT! We got the orchard Moscow mule (2 for each of us) and they were beyond delicious. We ordered clam chowder, steelhead, and the 3 mac and cheese. All the food was FRESH, hot, and timely served. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor seating, which is a huge plus for us. We soooo highly recommend this historic site with the most amazing service and food! read more

Excellent food, upbeat, ambience, and energy. We loved our salads and entrées from the very start that we sat down. We were celebrating the holidays in downtown Bend and decided to swoop on in. Service can be a little slow, but only because this place is very popular. Highly recommended. read more

Great food and service. Atmosphere among the best around. Love their bar. Looking forward to the locals night specials.

I had an amazing steak salad. We had a view of the water and the service was amazing!

This place is awesome! Great ambiance, solid staff, a menu to enjoy for everyone and quality items served. Always enjoyed heading in here with a buddy after work, having a couple drinks, appetizers and enjoying the conversation. One of the top spots in the area for me. read more

We would rate the food about 7 the service a 5. The ambience 10. Nostalgic - love that the trees are still there.

This is where I take my parents every time they visit from out of town. Sitting on the patio overlooking the Deschutes River never disappoints. You're really here for the sourdough scones with honey butter, though. A true piece of Bend history. read more

From Service to amazing Food, Pine Tavern has never disappointed me when I have eaten there.

Full disclosure I didn't eat here. Just walked in because I heard it's a cool atmosphere with the tree growing through it. That was true. Comfy booths, nice views but obstructed by some items and construction. The menu has a great variety and I've heard it's popular especially among an older demographic. I was looking for a popping lunch spot to socialize and it was pretty quiet when I walked in. I would go back but probably with a friend if I lived here. Enjoy! read more
