    When I travel, I don't normally go to the same place to eat at more than once. This was an exception. Food Cart Pods are not a thing where I'm from, so whenever I see one, it's pretty exciting. First of all, do all Cart Pods have names? I love this one; "The Podski", HA! Ok but beyond that, this place had so many delicious and unique options. We had Italian arancinis twice, a sampler of Pierogis, delicious oyster shooters and shrimp tacos. One thing we didn't get but looked awesome: I don't know if we missed out on some gem, but so many people were getting the burgers/fries from one truck. Also, so many other people were getting stuff from the Thai truck. And to top it off... the beer/cider station had an awesome deal. For about the same price you'd pay for a typical pint, they pour about 20 ounces of happy beverage into a taller than I expected glass. The picnic tables are colorful, there's a covered tent if you're feeling cold, people are friendly... it's just overall a great place to chill, drink, & eat.

    The Podski is a Bend staple! It's definitely a local spot, but if you're close to it, I recommend trying it out! There's a ton of different cuisines that you can try and they're all fabulous! They do run out of their popular dishes, so get there earlier in the day if you have your heart set on something. It's an outdoor venue, great for a sunny day!

    Connivence of having multitude of fast food uniquely prepared and served to be consumed in a cozy and comfortable location. Plus access to refreshments, cold draft beers, and sweets. We tried at least 3 different types between plant based Mexican cuisine to fried breaded seafood and American burgers and fries. The service provided by the food truck owners were all fantastic too.

    Very neat! Loved stumbling onto this place! They have a lovely variety of options for Asian to burgers to tacos to raw oysters, which is what I came for! Loved the half dozen oyster combo from mother Shuckers. Quite possibly the best oysters I've had...no sediment, just perfect consistency! I especially loved oy shooter. Wouldn't find! Customer service at the oyster truck was over the moon! What a sweet guy running the place!

    Great, cute, lots of good energy! This is such a fun little place with so many excellent food options. Bbq, Mexican, Thai, oysters, ice cream, cheesecake, just to name a few. It's all food carts, there's plenty of seating and they also serve beer and wine.

    Still one of my favorite beer gardens. Bartender is very friendly and informative. Food trucks pretty much cover any taste. Real comfortable digs. Can't go wrong here.

    This was such a unique dining experience! I loved both the option for indoor and outdoor seating through the winter as well as the variety of food options. I ate at Vegan Vibes and got the bend bowl - wow, I was simply blown away. It was huge, and so flavorful!!! I am not even vegan, and this dish was 5/5. It was also very refreshing to have a healthy option from a food truck. The inside was extremely lovely with long tables for shared seating - even on a Tuesday night it was packed! The inside was not dog friendly, though.

    We went there on a Monday so was disappointed to see only a couple trucks open for lunch. Lots of seating and cute set up just wish we had more options to choose from. We were staying at the Springhill Suites so walkable from our hotel.

So on our last trip to Bend we finally made it here to the their taproom and it didn't disappoint at all. It was a great stop! We got a taster set of a variety of different beers that they had on tap and they were all quite good. Many of them have a wild ale aspect to them which I can appreciate at you don't come across this beer too much on a routine basis. The taproom is cool and I love all of their art specifically where fermentation liquids spilled onto a sheet or a cloth making various designs and hues during the brewing making process of their beers. Other excellent beers that we have had from this brewery are the Samalie which is a Wild Ale. This one I rated very highly on Untappd because it was so amazing! Things to look for in the flavor profile are sourness, tartness, fruitiness, a natural sweetness and a dry finish. Really an excellent beer! Moving on from that we had the great Ping Pong Table Beer. This was another beer I rated quite highly and enjoyed immensely. This beer is light bodies, smooth and effervescent with the flavor of elderflower at work. Another excellent beer! Definitely great beer experiences with this brewery and definitely recommend it to the more adventurous beer drinking folks. There are plenty of breweries to try out in Bend and if you are looking for something on the more unusual side The Ale Apothecary is a great place for such a thing!

Dogs and well behaved supervised kids are allowed. The taproom service was top notch and dialed in.

It was especially festive during the holidays, with Christmas drink specials adding to the charm.
