An unfortunate event lead to our trying this most excellent restaurant. A broken piece of artwork needing restoration necessitated a trip to Bend, OR. Between the exceptionally good food at Hook and Plow, a most pleasant hotel experience, and a memorable trip to the High Desert Museum; our trip to Bend turned out to be a pleasure instead of the miserableness I expected. We had the Steak Tartare, the Chef's Board, the Blackend Crabcake, the Pear and Burrata Salad, and the Bone-in Pork Chop. We each got the cheesecake for desert and split the other dishes. This was more than enough for the three of us and we left full, happy, and with three large to-go boxes. The flavors of the various dishes were amazing. While all the dishes were vvery good, the standouts to me were the steak Tartare, the Pear and Burrata Salad, and the Cheesecake. read more

Had a second meal here, and unfortunately the experience lessened my opinion of this restaurant. I had the halibut, which was their "catch of the day". It was incredibly dry without any sauce, served with roasted potatoes (instead of mashed as advertised), and came with a little salad... there was no dressing on the salad, so it was really of no added value on the plate. I really wanted to like this place, but even the service is just a little "off" from my expectations. I sat for over 10 minutes with no contact from a server. No water. And the place had no air conditioning on a day that was 80 degrees. I don't think I'll give this place a third try, but I hope they can fix the problems. I like their concept and location. read more

The Hook & Plow Bend - Halibut with potatoes and salad. - New American Near Me - Bend, Oregon

Really cool place. It's got kind of an east coast yacht club meets an industrial exposed iron vibe. The inside is decorated nicely. A contemporary seaside look. The bar is long and open. There are big windows so you can get the rays of sun. It's light and warm. My bartender, Cody, was very warm and welcoming. He really made my visit a nice one. I got the green salad with the lemon cintronette, which was perfectly dressed. I added some grana padano cheese. It was *chef's kiss* I also got the dungeoness crab Calabrian pasta, because I love Calabrian chiles. It didn't have the deep flavor I was looking for. And the pasta really overtook the crab. The Marionberry Spritz, was great. I feel like I got all the things that you should if you're in the NW. I would definitely come back here. The folks are lovely. read more

Loved this place! We've been having mediocre meals out in Sunriver so it was nice to finally find a spot that had great food, service and vibe. Service was lovely - warm, friendly and attentive. Shout out to Logan for being great with my daughter as well. I ordered the lunch combo special and highly recommend - you can 2 items off a list of 5-6 for $18. I had the tempura battered fish tacos (2) and a cup of seafood chowder. Tacos were well portioned but still handheld and well seasoned. Chowder was delicious and the croutons were perfectly crunchy and buttery. My daughter had the kids fish and chips and the portion was excellent - fish to batter ratio was great and she loved the fries. The restaurant is clean, airy and well decorated. My daughter loved the cow print wallpaper in the restroom too. Highly recommend if you are in town, lovely meal. read more

Parking is rough but we found a spot on our next circle through. The waitress was very patient with all my questions about gluten. My menu had "gf" crossed out for the fish and chips. They changed the recipe so now they're beer bartered and no longer gluten free. You are limited to a few appetizers and salads. I tried the steak tartare and it's not great. It was my first time so I'm not sure how it compares to other places. One friend said it had a strong sesame oil flavor? The ahi poke was fine. I did like my salad- pear and burrata. The pomegranate molasses and cheese and pears were nice together. Overall, I wouldn't go here again as a gf person. The men at my table got the crab cake benny and the Nashville fish sandwich and they were very happy with their food! read more

Bend, OR has its share of delicious fine dining restaurants and The Hook & Plow is no exception. While the food is on the high end side, the vibes were definitely more casual. We were greeted by the host and seated quickly. We started our meal with a delicious non-alcoholic drink and the Chef's Board: a charcuterie with an assortment of cured meats, rustic bread, and various spreads. That came out pretty quickly. Unfortunately, our main courses came out much, much later and lukewarm. Luckily, the food was good enough that it made up for the temperature. I had the NY strip steak. 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. It may have been an off night for the staff, so I will give them the benefit of doubt. We would be open to trying it again sometime in the future. read more

Last minute choice to have dinner here and we weren't disappointed! Cute and cozy vibe with a large bar, and wide open windows for natural lighting which I always appreciate. Our entrees were seasoned well and tasty. Service was a bit on the slower side. Seemed the kitchen staff might have been backed up. To compensate, the waitress proactively brought us an appetizer to apologize for the wait which was very thoughtful. Small gestures like that are what good customer service is all about. read more

Great staff. Loved our dinner so much we went back the next night and liked it even more. Tonight I had the Caesar salad with scallops and it was amazing. We also tried the burger, crab pasta, and halibut. All so, so good. Highly recommend. read more

My partner and I went during Happy Hour on a Tuesday and it was so good! Walking in, it feels elevated and rustic. Very nice vibes. I loved the open windows on the other side of the room but the side we were on was nice and quiet. Food and drinks wrre incredible!! The chef's special bread and butter were really good and the appetizer board had such a good variety of items. The selection of wine was also great and I chose a Syrah! My partner had the Kentucky Buck, the Oaxacan Old Fashioned, and the Watermelon Julep and every one of them was so good! Our server was very nice and professional. I appreciated that she was knowlegable and checked in frequently. Definetly had great customer service! We had other wait staff check in on us as well and were also very friendly. While we were finishing up, I texted my family group chat that they needed to visit here ASAP! read more

Simply WOW!! The food is absolutely delicious! So much so, I don't think I'm experienced enough to review their food. But the layout of the restaurant is very inviting and relaxing. Upscale without feeling upscale. Perfect spot for our daughter's twenty fourth birthday! Thank you to our server Jenna! read more

The Hook & Plow Bend - Amazing fish in chips!! - New American Near Me - Bend, Oregon

We had such a wonderful dinner here. As soon as I walked in, I love the open bright, modern decor, and the servers and staff are all very friendly. They have the best happy hour food options. From the happy hour menu, we got the diverse scallops, chicken wings, and the Ahi Poke tostadas. Chicken wings came with delicious Sriracha sauce. The poke tostada was perfect with fresh tuna creamy sauce and a crisp tostada shell. It only comes with one so I would get multiple to share . From the dinner menu, we got the carrot hummus, which was so deliciously surprisingly amazing for being carrot based - it was one of my fave dishes of the night . Wish I could buy this hummus all the time ! The fresh catch of the day was a halibut. It was a good portion, perfectly cooked very tender, and we loved the unique twist of it coming on top of a crisp potato latke. Overall, great meal would come back for lunch or dinner anytime ! read more

Had a wonderful dinner last night in Bend with my family! The atmosphere is lovely, lots of windows with natural sunlight and the decorations & accents matching the nautical theme. The food was absolutely amazing, I think with our group we got to try a little of everything, which I'm grateful for. To start, for appetizers we had the house made bread and the peach and burrata salad, the small details really added to the food with the nuts on the salad and even the bread&butter was something special. Then for mains we tried the fish and chips, scallops paired with the risotto, and the crab cake paired with the carrots. I can honestly say everything was so good, the crab cake, scallops, and even fish and chips were some of the best we've had, and the sides of risotto and carrots are both a must try!! (My family said they were the best carrots they've had.) It was my mom's birthday and the staff and everything about the night was wonderful. Thank you Bradon and we can't wait to come back next time! read more

What an unexpected delicious spot to enjoy and dinner! Loved the decor and vibe walking in. The restaurant is loud-but we were able to get a two top that is tucked away Our servers were so welcoming and quick! Started with martinis and. Peach Burrata Salad. Moves on to wine and a lamb burger and the lobster risotto Both solid choices-the lamb burger was a bit "saucy" and the bun fell apart due to the extra sauce. The risotto was very flavorful with large chinch's of lobster. read more

Staying in Bend for 2 months and had visitors from out of town staying with us. We tried to be careful when choosing a dining option to take them to. Had a very enjoyable lunch at The Hook and Plow previously and decided this would be a good choice. Arrived at 6:00 Saturday 8/22 for dinner. The starters-- a salad, tuna poke and the seafood chowder were good, but all the dinners were a big disappointment in that they were greatly over seasoned with salt. The server delivered the meals and never returned to followup on our experience and was nowhere to be found while we struggled with the food. When she finally returned we explained the situation. She asked if we wanted replacements and by that time, we were all so turned off by everything we tasted we didn't even want anything more to try. Very upset that the manager didn't even have the courtesy to come over and discuss the situation or offer some kind of compensation for our very disappointing meals. The bill was $175 dollars with no wine, desserts or coffee and we walked away feeling upset that we weren't even given any acknowledgement from the manager that they cared about our experience dining there. Over the last 2 months of eating out at many of Bend's finer establishment, we never felt ignored if there was an issue and was always met with an apology or compensation for any wrong doing. It is inexcusable that the manager didn't show any concern about their customer's dining experience in their establishment. read more

Hidden in plain sight. Excellent service, quality meal! We've visited Hook&Plow several times now for a variety of reasons, girls night, happy hour, family in town, date night, etc. and have consistently had a great experience! The oysters are well shucked, the drinks are great and the menu changes to reflect the latest trends. We went last night and had the lobster risotto, steak, oysters and spicy margaritas. The food was excellent but the service is really what sets this place to five stars. We did have a slight hiccup with cook on one of our meals and not only did our server take the feedback with grace she proactively comped the item and made sure the replacement dish came out quick. Really a masterclass in customer service and something a lot of places are missing. Hook&Plow is somewhat hidden in the apartment complex but don't miss out. It is primarily a fish restaurant so also keep that in mind. Local tip, if you go to Viaggio before and grab a bottle there is no corkage charge. read more

This place is calm and serene inside with elegant decor. The service was excellent. The food was even better then we were hoping. The scallops, Oysters, fish tacos and steak sandwich were all delectable. Nice size portions and reasonable prices. We are not from around here and we had trouble finding this place at first. It is a bit tucked in across from an apartment building that is part of giant complex that had several bussinessess. The parking is challenging to find and it is a wildy busy parking lot because of construction, apartments and all the businesses. Highly reccomed this place for the yummy food and great service. They have a great week day happy hour too. read more

Some of the best food we had in Bend, but very slow service. There appeared to be only one waiter for the entire restaurant, it was over an hour between being seated and getting our food. Also, the menu needs a review. How is a salmon salad vegetarian? Why is the bread not marked as vegetarian? read more

What a fantastic meal and experience! From the warm welcome, inviting decor, and relaxed atmosphere, we immediately got the sense that we were among friends. Nick took excellent care of our group of 4 - he knew the menu and ingredients and made great suggestions. He brought water to the table and included lemons and cucumbers as well. It's a small touch but one that lets you know this would be a well curated experience. Great options for drinks from beers to cocktails. Do not skip the bread and butter - again sounds simple but the local bread was perfectly toasted with creamy salted butter. All of our meals were some of the best food that each of us has ever had. The seafood chowder got rave reviews, the burrata salad was fresh and bright, and the short rib with Tillamook cheddar polenta was outstanding. Even simple fries were elevated by being served in a cast iron skillet with locally made ketchup and mustard aioli. Every person loved their meal and the incredible service continued throughout. A must in Bend! read more

Best fish and chips, fresh baked bread. Fresh oysters. Would return again! Try the Blackberry lemonade read more

We absolutely love Hook & Plow. The menu items are pretty much all superb and wonderfully prepared. Very fresh oysters on the half. Steamer clams and scallops were both epic. Huge tender clams. Crispy kale salad was sooo good! The ahi tostadas were great. Had the bread pudding and it was to die for - inventive with the grilled pineapple and bit of lime cream under the whip - fantastic! Craft cocktails were a dream - loving the strawberry espresso martini! read more

What a great spot to end off our trip to Bend! We went here for dinner on a whim, and it was a great choice. The space was light and airy, coastal vibes. The service was great, our server was so attentive. Our glasses of water was never not full! The Oysters tasted fresh, but I've had better ones, especially at this price point. The Clam Chowder is a MUST, one of the best I've had. Better than on the coast! The H&P Burger was great, can't go wrong with it. The Fish N Chips were good, but it wasn't anything special. The NY Strip Steak was tender, and the sauce was like a salsa verde which paired well with the meat. The sides were also well seasoned. read more

Got there on a Thursday evening, having traveled from Portland and hiking at Smith Rock State Perk. We did not have reservations, but the hostess was gracious enough to find us a spot at the bar. We started with a dozen oysters and everything about them were good. Next we had the roasted pear and burrata salad. Always open to trying something new, this was a different taste. When combined with the burrata, it was a good taste The surprise of the night was the "Fresh off the Hook" pan roasted halibut with ricotta gnocchi, mushrooms and dashi broth. The halibut was cocked to perfection. The gnocchi was creamy and melted in your mouth. However. The dashi broth completely made the dish. Everything combined together was excellent For dessert we had the bread pudding. The outside was crispy, the inside soft and moist, and it was excellent. We had a really nice evening. The staff were gracious and attentive, there was nothing negative about our experience I would definitely come back at any time of day to try this place again. read more

Disappointed with the food as I ordered the steak and potato, medium rare. And I got something well done. Let the server know, but I still ate it. Not going to wait for a re-cook. There is another review saying the same thing about ordering a medium rare and getting a well done steak, so there may be something going on. Lovely interior decor, big windows. Staff were friendly. read more

Went for my son's Birthday-his choice. It was VERY loud so I couldn't have conversation with anyone around me, I had a salad loaded with parm ch ear that I think would've been delicious if it hadn't been dumped with salt. I love lots of salt but this was extremely salty I couldn't even eat it. Tried to get someone's attention to take it away but by the time the waitress came to check on us everyone else was finished. I told her and she kind of apologized . Won't be going back here. Not an enjoyable experience all around. read more

Great place for all occasions. Sophisticated atmosphere with good lighting and ample elbow room. The burger was delish and the fish and chips was among the best I've ever eaten.

Wow, this place was fantastic. The food, staff and drinks were all A+!!! We went for happy hour and stayed for a full dinner. Quality and attention to detail were great. Our waiter was super friendly and checked in repeatedly to make sure we were having an excellent experience. Only one very small area for improvement... after living in the Middle East, I'd say the falafel looked great and had good taste, but the consistency was unlike authentic falafel. Missing the crispness. Kudos for serving with Schoug!! Give this place a try- highly recommended!!!!!! read more

Not really a 5, but a 4.5 for sure. The service was excellent and happy they take reservations. The waiter did a little overselling, but hey, that's his job. Good menu selection and okay prices, no bargains. The chowder was simply awesome and the scallops were superb. As was the fish and chips. (Skip the cheese topping on the fries). The presentation was for sure 5 star. Hot food served hot, salads chilled and crisp. The bread pudding dessert is the deal of the century with a single serving enough for four. The atmosphere was just right -no blaring tv's, nice table spacing, not noisy. Lots of light. Real linen napkins. Plenty of parking. read more

Went for Lunch on Feb 17, 2025 - overall - excellent. Food - we ordered Ake Poke, Diver Scallops, and a Pear & Burrata salad. Everything tasted excellent and was very reasonably priced. Honestly...I liked the cucumber water. It was very refreshing. Service - Caelan was very attentive. We appreciated her proactive questions about allergies and food intolerances and was very helpful in clarifying cooking methods with the kitchen.
