    Fried chicken with sauce on the side and cucumber salad
    Jessica H.

    This place is so popular! Which is why I went even though I was pretty sure they only have spicy food- I hoped maybe something could be prepared mild or maybe I was misinterpreting. I just kept hearing they are great for gluten-free options! We went at 12:15 on a Tuesday and the line was long! I like how the organize seating though. I really didn't think we'd get to sit but the staff works it out while you wait to order. At the cashier I asked if anything on the menu isn't spicy and he told me no, the whole menu is spicy. Wow. He said my only option was fried chicken with the sauce on the side. It was certainly an impressive gluten-free fried chicken but very plain without the sauce. I quickly dabbed the chicken on the sauce for each bite and even then my mouth and lips were ablaze. Oh well. If you don't like spicy and you're reading this, I just saved you some money!

    On most of our visits to Bend we're usually on the hunt for new places or out-of-our-comfort zone menus, but somehow we always end up here for a meal. They just do everything up so well and the flavors are always unique, year after year. Came for happy hour this last time, and ordered up the wonderfully flavorful Mala Cauliflower app, which had a nice spicy kick, but alas, it was a hard pass on the garlic and chives cakes, which were flavorless and dense...and small. Our tacos though -- chicken tinga, carnitas and tofu -- hit the mark all around, and the service here is always tops -- they even bus your table. The vibe here is always super chill, and sophisticated, yet still laid back. I should take a star off for the Garlic cakes on this trip, but I've had so many good meals here over the years I'm thinking the occasional misstep shouldn't be dinged.

    While I have been finding it hard to eat at Asian fusion with my new found soy and sesame allergies, I was delighted to be able to experience some of sporks menu with good company. We had a few beers, curries, and steak salads yesterday for lunch and enjoyed them on their patio outside. While there wasn't much room to manoeuvre sesame or soy out of many dishes, I was able to enjoy the elote and the steak salad. Lauren and Kylie had the green curry with tofu and Yannick & Jacki made their own mods on the Thai steak salad as well. While we'd been very hangry coming into the situation, I can confidently say we all left smiling and very pleased. Definitely suggest popping in here for their unique menu, many specials, and great service.

    While visiting Bend, we were on a quest to find a location for family dinner and we ended up at Spork. You walk up to place your food order (menu items are plentiful and they all sound like they would be delicious) and then go find a table. Staff members bring your food to the table, then take care of you from that point. It was quite busy, but we were informed it is usually that way at Spork. Once we got our food and started to dig in, we quickly realized why Spork is so popular - the food is amazing!!! The next time we come to visit Bend, Spork will be on our list for a family dinner outing.

    I came here on a Wednesday night around 8. It was actually pretty busy which was a little surprising since they were gonna be closing in an hour. You have to place your order at the counter and then they'll bring it out to you. Since I was done alone, it was kind of weird because there was no bar seating. I did opt to sit inside. I got the shrimp and pork belly, yellow curry and also the jardin de Puebla drink. My drink was OK, but I would've liked a little bit more tequila. Haha that's what she said. The shrimp and pork belly yellow curry was amazing. It was flavorful and delicious. I couldn't finish my whole meal so I ended up taking leftovers back with me to my Airbnb. They have containers near the water and silverware station inside. I'm not necessarily a fan of the set up here because I'm not sure how you can get more drinks once you're sitting down. It wasn't really a problem with me since I was dining alone. I just kind of think that having servers would make more sense in this restaurant.

    Amazing food, super fast service and clean welcoming environment. Great experience overall and highly recommend.

    Spicy Pork Noodles
    Edward R.

    If yelp allowed 6 stars I would do 7. This was an amazing place. The tables were clean and it smelled wonderful throughout the restaurant. We came back twice on our 3 day stay in Bend! I got the Spicy Pork Noodles, so flavorful and that spice was perfection! The Pork was well breaded and seasoned so well, noodles were soft and tasted so fresh. Try any of the tacos they had a blast of flavor the hot cold combo was so amazing, shrimp and fried cheese was 10/10

    Lomo saltado, spicy pork noodles, kfc - Three metal bowls contain Asian and Mexican-inspired dishes, including rice, a fried egg, and seasoned meats, with fresh herbs and lime wedges.

    Based on all the other yelp reviews I had high hopes, but it's pretty hit or miss depending on what you order. Ordered: lomo saltado 2/5 - way too tangy and steak to potato ratio is like 1-3. Way too much potatoes and not enough meat. Spicy pork noodles 4/5 - great flavors/textures with the peanuts and fried shallots. There was also a good amount of ground pork patties. I liked how they gave you the sauce on the side so you can dip your noodles or just pour it on. spicy fried chicken 3/5 - great flavor and good crunch - but a bit too dry. Other notes: When you come here you order first and then find a table (inside/outside). There's a parking lot in the back and a good enough amount of parking on the street. They also have plenty of outdoor seating if you want to bring your dog.

    Spork has a fun, funky vibe with a rotating, eclectic menu. It's definitely not your average spot and that's part of its charm. You order at the counter when you arrive, and they assign you a table. There's self-serve water, utensils, and to-go containers, which is super convenient especially since the portions are bigger than they look online. We had plenty of leftovers! For a party of 2, here's what we tried: Fried Shrimp & Fried Cheese Tacos: it came with salsa, lime, and radish. Not your traditional taco by any means, more of a fusion twist. It was just okay for us, nothing too memorable. Dan Dan Noodles: These had a great Szechuan tingle without being overwhelmingly spicy. It had rice noodles, ground beef and peanuts which gave it a nice balance of texture and flavor. Crispy Rice & Strawberry Salad: Super refreshing! The strawberries and mint were perfect for a warm day, and the bean sprouts and crispy rice added great crunch. It came pre-dressed with a nice tangy flavor and a lime wedge to brighten it up even more. Lomo Saltado: This one threw us off a bit. The flavor of the steak was spot on, but the dish was much soupier than expected, and the potatoes were mixed in with the sauce rather than served as French fries on the side. Still tasty, but definitely different from the traditional version. Came with a side of rice and a dollop of cream. Pandan Flan: this was the star of the show! The flan was denser than a typical Mexican or Filipino flan, it was almost like a pandan cheesecake. Unique and satisfying and the blackberries were a great touch. Overall, Spork is a great spot if you're in the mood for some fusion or globally inspired cuisines. Not every dish hit it out of the park for us, but the ones that did were outstanding and we appreciated the creativity and bold flavors. Would come back to try more of their rotating dishes!

    Giant fortune cookie
    Joshua B.

    Spork is a cute trendy place with a well styled interior and fast service. After walking up to order and filling some glasses of water on our way to the booth we were assigned, we were met with the delivery of our ordered drink...and then it sets in..this place is called spork, but they do not have sporks, disappointing. The giant fortune cookie was a fun novelty we got for our kiddo. For my meal I ordered the carnitas sando. I soon realized that none of their main items actually came with a side, you'd have to order sides separately if you wanted anything. The sandwhich itself was alright, but nothing I would care to have again. It contains Yuca chips, which didn't seem to do much for me but add an occasional awkward crunch for no reason. This is a fusion restaurant in more aspects than the culinary choices. You order in the style of fast food from a menu structured like a high end restaurant. You are served quickly but any service needed beyond that appears to be an inconvenience to the employees. The plates also don't make sense to me as they were only slightly bigger than the item ordered, so with something similar to what I ordered, it can get a bit messy as your sandwhich falls apart and not everything falls on the smaller plate. In my opinion, the best thing about the place was the booth setups

    Cheese curd
    Sira L.

    First time eating here second time coming to bend in general. Food was good. Don't get me wrong. I just didn't get much Mexican at all and it seemed to be just a lot of fusion in general. Very small portions for what it was costing the Dan noodles on the other hand was a very good deal. It was extremely busy so there must be doing something right. Very pretty atmosphere as well!

    After a long day of skiing our group braved the line at spork and had a great time! It's counter order but the staff helps you find a seat once you've placed your order and then brings your food out. I ordered the Thai beef salad and it was AMAZING. I tried a few other dishes around the table and everyone seemed very happy with their order. It's a casual but fun vibe and perfect for a night out.

A great Nashville style fried chicken sandwich is a balance, a harmony between the spice from the cayenne, the acidity from pickles, and a hint of sweetness to round it out. These felt a bit one-dimensional, and the slaw didn't really bring balance to the spice. The sidewinder fries are absolutely S-tier, and I very strongly recommend these if you are here. Overall, not bad given the alternatives in Bend, but fairly average compared to the fried chicken wars in the rest of the country.

Every once in a while, you get a place that just hits when it comes to chicken. Now, like most of you know chicken breast is the most plain dry cut of meat you could possibly get. So really when you get to a good place that knows how to fry it up right soak in all that moisture. You didn't think it had and give it that perfect crust and spice it to perfection. Now I hate to judge a book by its cover, but let's be honest that's why you give books covers. In this case you can see it so blatantly a good chicken sandwich from a mile away. I like to go around these busy areas and kind of just pee around and look at people's food and see what visually is happening. The same way with the coffee shop you can look at pictures of their drink drinks and know about 90% certainty, but it's gonna be good or not Here was a no braider it tasted exactly how you might think and with all that said it was a banger of a sandwich. It's hard to spend this much on a sandwich these days and I really advocate for places like Dave's Hot Chicken and Chick-fil-A that can just put out a great sandwich for a lower price, but I know that amazing sandwiches usually come at a higher price. With all that sad and all that context put in there this place is good and if you're one of those people comfortable paying normal sandwich prices for sandwiches you're gonna absolutely love this place

The bar is also a fantastic place to grab a drink or margarita, play a little video poker, and end up talking to half the locals in Bend. Somehow you go in for dinner and leave feeling like you attended a neighborhood reunion. The food is exactly what you want when you're craving Mexican: hot, good, and a lot of it. I have never once left there hungry or disappointed. Plates show up looking like they were designed for a lumberjack who skipped lunch. They recently remodeled the bar, which looks nice... but personally I believe Mexican restaurants should be built once in about 1987 and then left exactly the same forever. It's part of the charm. That said, the remodel won't stop me from going back regularly. Great people, great food, strong margaritas, and the kind of place that makes Bend feel like home. Five stars all day.
