The first time we tried Toasty, it cemented itself as a must-visit-every-Bend-trip spot…read more The Podski itself is lively and has diverse options, but our heart yearns for Toasty. Are you vegan? 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!!!

TL;DR: A small but mighty food truck tucked into a bustling food pod district serving uniquely…read moreflavored vegan crunch wraps. 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!

So friendly to chat with. Turns out he's also the chef there and he was the one who makes the falafels from scratch. A must try!!! Also had the Buddha bowl with chicken.

I had the Greek salad wrap with lamb, and he had the salmon, and both were excellent. We also enjoyed the salad that came before the salmon. A very pleasant surprise was how wonderful the customer service was. The food was delivered quickly and graciously, and the person who served it to us even checked in partway through our meal to see if we needed anything. Then he brought me a takeout box for my leftovers. The Greek music being played also added to the charm. I highly recommend this restaurant!

So let's talk about it. This is our second time coming here because the food, the first time we…read morecame, was delicious and today was my birthday! We walked in as soon as they open at 11 o'clock and were greeted by a nice person, restaurants clean BUT problem that we're running into is all over every single one of the tables inside this restaurant has a combo for $15.99. It's a gyro,fries and a drink for $15.99 on the hard 3 sided standing ad in the middle of each table!! That's on every single table. There's no dates !! There's no expiration!! Doesn't tell you it's only from one time to another so we get up to the front we order our food. We're looking to get the combo and we are told at that point in time that we cannot get this combo because it was only September's and we're gonna have to pay $20. That's unacceptable!!! We ask for a manager the manager, of course is not in the store. The manager is out on a on a grocery run so there's nobody in charge I'm guessing because we asked and the cashier tells us she's only been there 3 weeks! Thats not how you run a business that's not how customer service is handled. It's so unfortunate because you've just lost a customer and I can tell you that every person that will be in search of Greek food I will never tell them to come and eat at this Greek restaurant, and I will tell them that these people don't stand by what most places of business would have done if the fault fell on them, just like Walmart and Costco, which would have been to HONOR THE PRICE! Especially since we are FIVE DAYS INTO OCTOBER.You can have the best food in the world, but if your customer service is horrible, your food is horrible. I think it's important for you to remember that if you put out a special and the special is over and you still have flyers out on your TABLES saying that you have a special you should honor that special. You shouldn't shy away customers who are willing to spend money in your restaurant because of a mistake that YOU or your employees made such an unfortunate thing.

We stopped by laughing planet twice on our trip to Bend, Oregon. The first shortly after we arrived…read moresince we were really hungry, and the second during lunch on our final day. Both times, my wife and I were glad we went. I forget what my wife had, but I had the comfort bowl my first day and it was delicious. Everything tasted fresh. Good portion sizes. Friendly staff. And a vibe that said the place really cares about somewhat healthy foods, and common allergens. The second day I had the Thai bowl and it was equally delicious. I ended up taking some leftovers with me since I knew I was going to want to enjoy some of it for lunch the next day. The staff was absolutely wonderful. I never really like going to new restaurants and trying to figure everything out, but the staff was easy-going, and walked us through their process, the menu, and genuinely seemed like they are treated well. If we are back in Bend, Oregon, and then near future, we are definitely going to come back.

After eight years, Crux is overdue for a review update. Biggest reason is that quite a few years…read moreago they expanded the place significantly, opening up the large room to the right of the bar that opens into the outdoor area. That room is equipped with restrooms, relieving one of my major complaints about a lack of facilities, as well as a second serving station complete with taps. Since then, Crux has significantly changed the outdoor area as well although I'm not certain it's an upgrade. It's a little too landscaped and way too much like a playground now. Locals have always tended to refer to Crux as 'daycare but with beer.' The last several times I've come here, the second serving station has not been in operation even though it looks to be still fully functional. Meanwhile the line to the bar serving stations is often long, sometimes almost out the door. Not sure why that is, doesn't make sense to have the capacity to more efficiently serve customers but not use it. All that said, the beer is still stellar and they continue to have a wide range of beer choices, the new(ish) large room has plentiful high-top seating (mobility challenged folks will need to venture outside), and the music is kept below ear-splitting volume. You can also sit at the bar itself although the vibe there isn't great - it's not like a neighborhood pub bar. Crux still has a kitchen. I used to order directly from them but have since transitioned to patronizing one of the several food carts outside. Being food carts, they tend to come and go so I'll not go into detail there. That said, the new Alpine Smash burger is fabulous. The other significant change in recent years has been with the location. A dispute with the property owners to the west resulted in the access road that way being closed, requiring Crux patrons to use the road coming from Second/Scott Street (or ride a bike). The west road is now open, maybe because the Jackstraw housing complex over that way is now completed and the road serves their tenants. RIP Spoken Moto.

In fact, one of the guys took half of his home for later. As you would hope, the bread has a great texture, soft in the middle, with a nice tug on the crust. The standout for me was the Garlic Mayo! That, and the Dijon. It left a flavor that lingered in my mouth (in a good way) after the meal was done. Everyone was stoked on their sandwiches and agreed we'd be back.
