French onion soup is to die for! So is the salon piccata. This restaurant never disappoints.

Food and value were good, as always. Our server in the bar was disappointing. My drink came smelling strongly of chlorine, most likely from the dishwasher. It has happened to us here before. We would've expected the server to apologize and replace the drink. Instead, she said nothing and looked at a as if to say, "So what's the problem?!" She ended up replacing the drink but the interaction was unpleasant and inappropriate. Very disappointed in how we were treated. read more

Great service. Amazing Food I recommend the flat iron steak and Thai Bento. Healthy assortment of draft beers. Full service bar with wine and great cocktails. Last but not least, the servers and bartenders are great folks. They will take care of you. Trust me you'll thank me later. Cheers!! read more

Food was mediocre. Long wait and server named Jeff was slow and rude. He made a comment about the amount of food being ordered by my family and then made a rude joke about keeping all the money as a tip when we asked for change. When I called him on it, he stated he was joking and that he had a sense of humor. I told him that if not all parties find it funny, it's not a joke. In fact, Jeff, it's bullying. Jeff, I do have a sense of humor, just zero tolerance to rude borderline bullying. read more

The customer I was working with for the week mentioned this place as being "pretty good" so I maybe had low expectations therefore it was easy to exceed... But holy mackerel, I liked this place. Excellent service, our waitress was courteous and attentive during a pretty busy lunchtime. I recommend the Three Little Piggies -- it sounds like a lot--and it is--but goodness is it delicious. Juicy meat and the sauce makes it absolute perfection on a bun. Our waitress suggested some ranch to dip the cajun fries, they've definitely got a kick to them and I definitely recommend you follow her suggestion as well to back off the kick just a little bit. My only regret is not coming back here again for dinner before I left. read more

Food was okay. Service was the worst I have ever had since I have lived in Bend almost 30 years.

I must like it here because I wind up here a lot. Is it a great restaurant with excellent food? Not necessarily. But it's a pretty damn good restaurant with pretty damn good food and solid service. The decor and concept are a bit dated. The lounge area is comfortable with lots of TVs for football. It is located within a cluster of retirement homes, so if you like old people, come at 3:00 when it's hopping, happy hour seems to happen constantly and the happy hour menu is great. As for the food, Buffalo Wings and fish and chips are incredible. Noteworthy even. Potato skins, crab bisque, onion soup are other things I've enjoyed. read more

Was excited to try after reading reviews. Wife and I made reso for a Tuesday afternoon, friendly greeting/hostess, seated right away in their nice booths, and restaurant was pretty empty, maybe two other tables in dining area, bar looked a bit busier. That's why it was a little disappointing to be seated directly across from a "station"(?), for water fill ups, and condiments, and what not, but also a big ol' bussers' bin of dirty dishes, which was "loaded up" shortly after we sat down, noisy dumping/clanking, and all. There were literally open booths in all directions, but they plopped us there, so that was kind of lame. The booth was otherwise comfortable, clean table/utensils/glasses, and the lighting and ambience/decor was subdued, tasteful, and comfortable. Took drink order and returned quickly with them, server and cocktails both ok to good. Being a Cobb salad aficianado, was excited for it, as this place just looks like it should have a great, classic version. Wife opted for a burger with side salad. Brought out my Cobb and wife's side salad first, burger was to follow. Cobb did not look good, and wife's "side sald" at half the price, looked amazing, 3x the size. The cobb was flat, minimal in size, very little protein, way too many cukes and small whole tomatoes, and bland. Wifes burger followed up shortly, looked great and was very very good. Would have had another beer/cocktail, but server kind of was not around. She did stroll by and glanced at our plates/glasses, but no "how is everything", or "getcha another beer?"... I mean, we would have just said "great", but to not have been asked seemed a little weak. The parking, building/decor, wife's great burger and salad, satisfactory cocktails, and satisfactory service are what lean me up toward 3 stars, but the Cobb salad and just "satisfactory" afore-mentioned, also lean me down from a 4 or 5. We'll go again, I'm sure, menu looks great, looking forward to trying some of their other offerings. read more

The Phoenix Lounge is NE Bend's equivalent of Cheers TV show, "where everybody knows your name, and they're always glad you came" It's amazing the food quality is so good, as their menu included a diverse mix of Asian and Mexican, Italian sauces read more

The Bar was busy so I sat in the Restaurant. Food was great! The Dirtiest Martini was amazing! Staff was super friendly!

The Pheonix is our favorite, long-time locals, go-to spot!! The food is always great and the drinks are top notch. We're not the only ones who think so as the place is usually packed!! The restaurant side, reservations are highly recommended and generally there is a bit of a wait for a table in the bar, but still worth it!! The staff is always friendly and welcoming, we haven't had a negative interaction with any of the staff ever, Lilly especially always goes out of her way to make sure our table is taken care of!! We love the place and highly recommend!! read more

Date: 9/27/22 Meal: Dinner with reservations via Open Table We had a wonderful experience at The Phoenix. The restaurant has a lot of booth seating and we were welcomed upon arrival and seated at a quiet booth in the back. Our server, Chris, immediately served us water and the drinks we ordered arrived quickly. Chris was attentive and friendly. I ordered the half raspberry salad as a starter - it was huge and delicious. I also ordered the pork tenderloin with mashed potatoes. The sauce was yummy and the meal plentiful - I took half of that home, too. My husband enjoyed the onion soup and Hawaiian pizza. For the amount of food we ordered and the quality, it was an exceptional value. read more

If you are looking for FILLING, tasty food, this is one of the only places in Bend for big portions and flavors. For me, the chicken fettucini hits the spot. For my hubbs, the NY Blackened Cajun steak gets him singing opera (literally). An extra sweet thing about this place is Loretta, who feels like an auntie who knows you by name, and brings you your food in the sweetest way. Go here, but not at busy times. Place gets packed! read more

The Phoenix is very good! I like their food was very tasteful. I would give them a 10/10 if I could

Best onion soup in town. Lovely outdoor patio. Wonderful salads. Can't go wrong with the Phoenix

I love everything about The Phoenix, except their FLAT sodas as they have very little carbonation!! I mention this every time I'm there, but it falls on deaf ears apparently, as it never gets better or fixed!!! Never had a bad meal, except the Pizzas are dry! read more

What a delicious meal we ate there! The service was exceptional! The ambiance was so nice! I love to eat at The Phoenix! I've eaten there several times now over the years and I look forward to going back! read more

Food was pretty good. We ordered a grilled chicken on focaccia and a blackened salmon on focaccia. Service was excellent. Well be back.

We have always enjoyed our meals at the Phoenix whether it was in the bar or dinning room. Reservations are a must. Service has always been great. read more

Always good food, good price, and staff is always welcoming. The ambiance is local and happy. Bartenders know their drinks and service isn't slow. We have been coming back for over 15 years! read more

This is my family's favorite place to go in Bend. We are always greeted and welcomed warmly. We know many of the servers, and they all make sure to say hi as they pass our table. The Food at the Phoenix never disappoints!! Definitely recommend!!! read more

The food was good, the salmon was fresh. The service was a little slow. When they ask if you want protein with your salad check the price, my small piece of fish was more expensive then my salad. read more

The Phoenix - Raspberry salad with salon - Burgers Near Me - Bend, Oregon

The absolute best restaurant in town!! Staff is extremely friendly, perfect atmosphere and the food is excellent!

Normally I would give a 4-5 stars but last night we had to sit in the lounge.. no big deal.. we ordered our meal, the meal came and my meal wasn't what I ordered, not even close, waitress apologized, she put in the wrong meal but she reordered it and put a rush on it .. well by the time it came my husband was finished with his! I was very upset! I wanted to have a nice dinner with my husband before I go on my trip.. I was so boiling that I couldn't enjoy the meal! The check came, she said nothing, didn't comp it and she knew I was upset.. I told my husband that I would pay because she gets a big zero for a tip! I e never done that before and I do feel a little guilty but I had too! read more

We arrived at 7:40, the hostess at the desk was doodling and not paying attention to us, she finally looked up and stated that they are not seating any more customers! The sign said they close at 8:00, not 7:40. Very poor customer service in my opinion. read more

Food is always good and consistent. Service is good and Ambiance is not too loud. Their cocktails are great and so are their bar tacos.

Terrible experience. Food had flies. Service was rude when complaining. Management were defensive and arrogant as heck

I wanted to visit this restaurant because I read an article about restaurants that define Bend in the Portland "Eater" and this is one that one that I had yet to visit of those mentioned in the article. The atmosphere is very nice with great lighting, nice big booths and an open kitchen. I ordered the halibut fish and chips and W ordered chicken piccata. My fish was good, but not outstanding. My fries were shoestring fries that had no flavor at all and my cole slaw tasted like wilted lettuce and cabbage with absolutely no spice, mayo or vinegar. I put some of my tartar sauce in it and added salt, but it still wasn't good because of the soggy lettuce or whatever it was that made it taste stale. W liked his chicken piccata, but he was disappointed that it wasn't pounded very thinly as piccata should be. His potatoes didn't taste fresh to me. I doubt we will visit again. I would compare this restaurant to an expensive Applebee's. Service was good. read more

We had heard a lot of good things about this restaurant ever since we moved to Sunriver last year. We decided to go with 4 friends and give it a try. We were not disappointed, nice ambiance along with great service ( from Mari) and excellent food. The lunch choices are extensive and reasonably priced. The Phoenix burger was nice and juicy with lots of flavor. The French dip, Philly cheesesteak as well as the skewered shrimp , all were well prepared. The one thing we all agreed on was: "Why did it take us a year to try this restaurant?" read more

THE PARKING Ample free lot parking adjacent to the restaurant. There is also free street parking available. THE ATMOSPHERE Casual, clean, modern, comfortable and slightly upscale but with a laid back feel. THE FOOD Exceptionally well executed, flavorful, well balanced in savoriness, and extremely fresh. ---California Grilled Chicken Sandwich $10 with GLUTEN FREE bun for $1 more--- The sandwich contained crispy romaine lettuce, thick and juicy tomato, thinly sliced red onion and freshly sliced avocado along with a sundried tomato mayonnaise on the side. A heaping helping of skinny shoestring French fries with ketchup accompanied the dish. My husband also ordered a cup of Red Bean Smoked Chicken soup for $4. Although we couldn't figure out where the smoked chicken was, he enjoyed every bite. ---Phoenix Salad, large $10 with diced chicken breast for $5 more--- The amazing salad contained a generous mound of fresh mixed greens, grape tomatoes, roasted corn niblets, chopped bacon, crumbled bleu cheese, finely shaved red onion and freshly sliced avocado. It's served with a creamy balsamic vinaigrette on the side per my request. I just love salads. This calorie and cholesterol filled splurge was delicious. THE SERVICE Excellent service throughout. Jeff was our server on this visit and was prompt, efficient, personable and professional. Even the restaurant manager and other staff members were friendly and courteous upon on arrival and departure. THE BOTTOM LINE We would eat here again. read more

This restaurant really suffered with covid but they seem to be back on track. Had dinner the other night and the food and service were very satisfying all around. I cannot wait to go back soon their menu selection is very encompassing and I am looking forward to trying something else. It is too easy to stick with one favorite. This place needs to be sampled for it's various delights. read more

It was alright. My husband didn't like his pork sandwich, said the flavors were too sweet. I really enjoyed my veggie burger, but the waiter did warn me beforehand that the patty wasn't gluten free which is weird for a veggie patty. Not a problem for me, but in case you are gluten free that would be disappointing. The fries were weird but not bad. We did wait quite a while for our food to come out, and then our waiter didn't come back to check on us until we'd been done with our food for a long time. read more

The filet steak at Phoenix was amazing, the artichoke dip is yumo, and the margaritas were tasty! We were looking for comfort food after a stressful day, and the food and atmosphere hit the spot. They had a big kids menu, well, small kids menu that was big :) Everyone was really nice, the service was perfect, and we will for sure be back. read more

Went out to dinner tonight for my sons birthday and had a very good experience. Great service, very comfortable, and great food. Highly recommend this place !! 5 Stars read more

Favorite sit down restaurant in Bend, prices are fair and portions on the dinner menu are big and filling!

Went there for a birthday dinner. Had a nice gift card. Had a quite enjoyable meal. We weren't keeping track of the balance on the card. When the waitress presented the bill, I asked, "is there a balance on the card that would cover dessert", and she curtly replied as she walked away "Nope!", and I inquired again and she said "Nope". I don't know what the issue was, but I was willing to SPEND MORE, but she was not interested. We left, WON'T BE BACK AGAIN. Sorry Phoenix...Kayo Oakley built the place and he just died this week. Every time I went there I thought of Kayo. He was a great chef. We will miss him, but not this twitchy service. Nod to the manager that tried to smooth this out, but Point of Contact service people leave the lasting impressions. Too many other good restaurants in Bend, to waste our time on The Phoenix. read more

average food, service - seated for 15 minutes before anyone came around , ambience blah as very very dated design.

Real quick---we've come back here a few times in 2011 with friends. As I said in my previous review, didn't think WE would be back. But it was a group decision. As it turns out, we've come to enjoy the place. Maybe it's because we are with our friends and we're all having a good time....a little wine.....a little more wine....or maybe it's because we finally found an entree that is downright tasty. The buy one entree, get one half off coupon is also a plus. That being said, we've come to savor the chicken marsala. Combined with a cup of their French onion soup beforehand....mmmmm good. So yes, updating my review, I would give The Phoenix a four star rating. Yay! I'm a fan. Good food. Good friends. Good wine. We'll be back. read more

Wow. This place has collapsed in terms of quality! I just had TWO margarita glasses in a row with LIPSTICK on them !!!! Not to mention that after the first one, she SHOULD have made a fresh one, but instead poured it into another lipstick smeared glass. Hideous. So pissed! Bartender is half asleep. No manager on duty to complain to. DO NOT come here. We had lunch- halibut tacos were limp and cold, bartender had zero personality and acted like it was too much work to do anything. Salsa was fine, but chips had a freezer burned flavor. And there is a brown chunk of something in our chips! See the photo. Wish I had photographed the glasses. So very nasty. I look at my old Yelp reviews- 3 stars in 2011. 2 stars later that year, and now one star. Would do zero if I could. I have had The Phoenix highly rated on my website used by out of towners. I have given my clients, all from out of town, a list of good restaurants to visit, with The Phoenix as the best on the East side. I will now be warning all of those very same people, wealthy folks who are new to town and are looking for a place to spend money, to stay away or risk unhealthy chunks in your food, and someone else's germs on your glass. There is no food quality here. Period. And they don't care. Go somewhere you won't get sick. My guess is they are on their way out anyway, as these sorts of disgusting transgressions often occur when employees are unhappy and the place is on a slide towards vacancy. I doubt we will have them to worry about much longer. read more
