.From the first interaction with the "cook" as he was so kind to tell me he was, to the finished product, it was a bad experience. The "cook" was rude and arrogant and the chicken strips were tasteless. I had 2 chefs in my party, and they were absolutely turned off by the food. Sorry, but we will never go back. read more

Really fun, relaxed spot with multiple food trucks and a bar/coffee spot available. I ordered the fried chicken sandwich with pimento cheese, pickles, and honey and absolutely devoured it! Perfect combination of flavors and textures. Highly recommend! read more

The Tin Pig - Food Trucks Near Me - Bend, Oregon

The best chicken sandwich in bend. 10/10 cannot recommend enough. And the fries and their seasoning also amazing. Fired pickles are a bit too salty for my liking but I do have to say they are perfectly crispy and I still order them from time to time. read more

I went to the Crux Fermentation as it had a large outdoor seating area that was perfect for dogs. Stopping by, it was filled with people and pups, so basically my idea of a great time. There's two small parking lots and tons of street parking, so that wasn't a concern. The Tin Pig is current one of two food trucks outside and I'm a sucker for chicken strips and fries, so I had to indulge. A good portion of food for the price and the flavor was amazing! The chicken was still moist and not dried out but had a good crust to it. Not super flaky, but still crunchy for a chicken strip. I got the original, but there are a ton of different chicken flavor options. The fries were seasoned with this Cajun-like rub that was delicious. Served with a side of ranch and fry sauce, I highly recommend this place. Will definitely be back and try out other items in the menu next time I'm in Bend! read more

The Tin Pig - Original chicken strips - Food Trucks Near Me - Bend, Oregon

Delicious, huge, flavorful sandos and burgers. Honestly, an easy 5 stars... with one MAJOR fix. Their fries are absolute trash. It's the sweet seasoning that ruins it all. Aside from that they were cooked perfectly and crispy shoestrings. But that damn sweet seasoning needs to go. Maybe listing the "seasoning" ingredients on the menu would've been helpful. Had we known we would've simply said leave them plain, eaten them all happily and given 5 stars. Sadly 3 baskets of fries were buried in the trash... along with their seasoning. Change the seasoning and earn the 5th star ;0) read more

Used to like them but it has gone seriously downhill in the last few years. The new location kinda sucks. Lots of friends aren't comfortable supporting them anymore either. read more

As this was my first visit, I decided to go with the Classic with some fries. The Classic is fried chicken with pickles and mayo. The sandwich was just ok. The breading was light and well-seasoned, but the chicken itself was pretty bland and dry. I do appreciate they use chicken breast as opposed to chicken thighs. This is one of the few instances where I prefer breast to thigh meat. Thighs don't make for a great sandwich, but if you're using breast fillets, they definitely need to be brined to keep from drying out. The bun was nice and had a great texture. The fries were pretty good and fry sauce pretty tasty. I'm guessing the other sandwiches with various sauces would be better, but I still think the Classic should be able to stand on its own. read more

The chicken was cold and super chewy. Not to mention, the person working that day wasn't having a good week.

Food truck permanently parked on the Crux yard. Great menu, as we'd been travelling we were good with chicken strips tonight. Flavours were amazing. Wife got the Sonoran and it was all the Mexican flavors you'd expect on a strip - really nice. I got the Nashville - it's spicy. More of a rub vice sauce so a little dry but the flavour and spice were amazing. They ensure the fry's get hit with the same rubs so flavours all blend. Definitely try this truck out if you're drinking beer at Crux. read more

10/10 my dude, let me tell you it is so hard to come by GOOD fried chicken here, but today I found it at tin pig. I got the rogue and I lived that it wasn't drenched in buffalo it was drizzled and that is honestly the best way to do it. Top tier. Service is fast too. You guys are killin it. Love the yelp comebacks to by the owner. Lmao roast me jack read more

absolutely amazing food from tip to toe. Just amazing perfect fries, perfect chicken and sauce. I could order by the 5 gallon bucket. It's nestled in a very busy fun area and a great alternative. To the more standard food that you might get at a place that serves beverages when grabbed a flight of cider and on the way back to the hotel I grabbed dinner here I could imagine eating her every day and never growing old of it but that's way perfect. Sometimes you don't have as much to say when things are so simple that you don't understand how every place isn't doing it right. A quick sauce, shoe string fries, chicken breaded and fried... it really does seem like it should be just that simple but rarely it is. This place makes it seem effortless and after looking through many of the other tables nearby in the pod, it was very obvious that this was the right choice. read more

The Tin Pig - Classic Sandwich and the Fries were the best ever, sugar'd fries!! - Food Trucks Near Me - Bend, Oregon

We decided to get a chicken sandwich and some fried green tomatoes. I was so excited to see that they had the fried green tomatoes! While they were good, they maybe need a little seasoning and maybe a little more crisped up. I will say moving everything in the basket with them makes them a lot better then just on their own. It seems that for $9, they could maybe add a couple more as well. Chicken sandwich was great, no complaints. The fries I liked, but others thought they were a little too sweet. read more

Went to the tin pig to pick up lunch for myself and boyfriend today. I had been there before and I love their chicken sandwich with the pimento cheese and honey. It's heaven. But I had never had a burger from them but my boyfriend doesn't eat chicken and loves burgers so that's what I ordered him. And I ordered fries for us. Which I think their fries are great. Their seasoning is a nice change. Now their chicken sandwich is the best in Bend but my boyfriend says their hamburgers are fantastic too! So beef or chicken eater you will be well fed and happy at The Tin Pig!!! read more

I've been getting lunch here almost every week for a few months now. I'm impressed every time. You can tell the business owner Jack truly cares about his customers and the delicious food he's serving them. Don't hesitate on making the trip here. Promise it will be worth it, and you're missing out big time if you don't. read more

Best chicken sandwich in Bend Oregon. Amazing. Amazing. I absolutely love it. Go with the Nashville. Hot, hot, hot and fun accepts credit cards. Has good booze nearby at Crux. People who work here remind me of the saying, keep Bend weird. Tune in to salty cracker on Rumble app. read more

First time having a Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich and got it at The Tin Pig. It was fantastic! Had a great amount of spice but not over powering. Also, got a side of fries and they were great as well! Had some sort of sweetness to them and it balanced well with the spice. Highly recommend! read more

Great food!! You will not be disappointed, I got the chicken sando that had honey and pimento cheese--worked surprisingly well together and so tasty! My husband wished he got tin pig instead and was eyeballing my sandwich the whole time. Try it you won't be disappointed! Also good fries cooked really good fry sauce! read more

I've had many Nashville style chicken sandwiches and this was worse than all. Burger King's $3.5 Nashville hits harder. Chicken was chewy and overloaded with salt. Couldn't finish it and definitely won't be back. read more

Despite for my lunch today I still will give this place five stars. The chicken sandwiches are the absolute best. I have had the big bird a few times. The chicken is always juicy and the fattening fried part the best. Their sauce, I've never had anything like it. The sweet tanginess is something new. The fries are thin and crunchy without your fingers being greasy. Mastered. With that said I think it's important to share my review with the establishment. I do not want this amazing little takeout to go anywhere. And how can they fix something if they don't know. Today. My chicken sandwich/the big bird had so much mustard on it. It was overpowering. Dripping. It's all I could taste. Makes my mouth water thinking of it. I could not taste the cabbage. Actually had to check the sandwich, thinking they must have forgotten it. Nope, just drowning in the mustard. The chicken had a few bites of fat. Makes me shiver. To me there is nothing grosser than chicken fat. Can ruin a dish. The French fries. Sinfully wrong. Mastered. The sweet seasoning they use, down to cooking them to perfection. Gold. Crunchy. And never greasy. So good. However, today they tasted more salty than sweet and tangy. So much salt. Was not good. Everything I've had there has been the best. A sweet experience. Not your typical chicken. However. Despite not having the best meal today I'll continue giving them a five star. I've been there to know today was an off day. Between the mustard and all the salt todays meal was not a treat. This is a worthy place. One of my favorites. read more

Let me start with we probably should have tried the chicken sandwiches. The women sitting next to us each had them & they looked amazing, as most reviewers have noted. Next time. We had hush puppies & Nashville Hot tacos with fries. I enjoyed the hush puppies, especially the chunks of corn & spicy honey. They were good dipped in the fry sauce. I could barely eat the tacos. They were soooo spicy I couldn't eat them. My husband was disappointed in the amount of chicken inside the breading, but liked the spicyness. Is spicyness a word? The fries that same with the tacos were fresh & quite yummy. Turns out there is sugar on them. We've been avoiding added sugar this year so, no wonder they tasted so good to us. We had returned for Big Ski perogies from the truck next to this one & those were soooo good, yet again. We will try the Tin Pig again, I think we just picked the wrong main course this time. Next time it will for sure be a chicken sandwich. The folks working here by the way were super friendly & it's a great little area of food trucks. read more

Excellent chicken sandwich! When they're open which is sometimes a challenge it's one of my favorite choices at Crux (currently) with the limited amount of food trucks they offer. It's a food truck with a good vibe and a decent amount of menu options. My only critique would be they're hours of operation and no way of knowing if they're open or closed until getting to the truck. read more

I'm not sure if they are still on the menu but I had a really, really, really decent fried chicken sandwich here one time. Way, way, way better than Chick-fil-A, probably the best fried chicken sandwich in Bend. Message me if you know a better one! Highly recommend the Tin Pig. read more

Voted best food cart of 2021, a reminder that I needed to try them. I go to the Podski fairly frequently, but never get past Earl-n-Mabel who I love! Here's the deal today, Mother's Day around noon. One guy in front of me, no one behind me. It's my turn. I say "it's my first time here, should I get the Rogue Style or the Sonoran?" The guy at the window wearing the blue bandana as his quasi face mask says "sorry, can't help you". Crickets, beginning of a Mexican stand-off, I look at the menu again at the two options I was considering (secretly waiting for him to expand on my prospective choices) and finally said "ok" and walked away. Went to Thailandia, got the red curry soup and called it a victory. When I got home and reported my experience, my partner reminded me that we had eaten at Tin Pig maybe 1.5 years ago and we both thought it was delish! 5 stars for the food I don't remember, but was told I loved and the fact that they were voted best food cart. 1 star for the toad manning the stand. That's a 3 in my book, I won't be back. read more

This is one of my favorite places for lunch in Bend. I eat here at least twice a week and I've never had a bad meal. You can't go wrong with the Sonoran chicken basket - something Jack created for me after the chicken chicharrones were taken off the menu. You get a base of some of the best french fries on the planet topped with hand breaded chicken tenders covered with green chili sauce, fresh pico de gallo, and cotija cheese. Chicken strips are a favorite of mine, and these ones are always cooked to perfection. If you love spicy things, then definitely try the Nashville hot chicken sandwich. This is a SPICY chicken sandwich, so if you think you can't take the heat order the sauce on the side. It's a giant piece of hand breaded chicken breast fried to perfection, doused in an insanely delicious hot sauce, and held together by the best bun in town - Big Ed's. Don't forget to try the fresh pork rinds. They fry them up fresh for your order, so they come out crackling and popping with a dusting of their famous seasoning. The crew at Tin Pig are great. If something isn't right with an order let them know - they always make it right! If they were open Monday and Tuesdays at lunch, I'd probably eat there everyday. Keep up the great work! read more

Updating my review as my partner wanted to weigh in. The chicken sandwhich here was not my favorite, although it is SPICY my boyfriend very much liked the Nashville sando. My biggest upset was the sugar on the fries. However, I have heard great things from friends of mine who had, just wasnt my cup of tea for a chicken sando. read more

This place was SOOO GOOD. The Nashville is super hot (as it should be) -- delicious. The regular chicken sandwich looks awesome too. Fries were crisp and the special spice blend on them was bomb.

Visited with the family after our whitewater rafting guide recommended it to us. Hubby ordered The Big Bird. He was kind enough to give me a bite. YUMmmm!!!!! It was one of the best chicken sandwiches ever! My 15yo son had the Bacon Burger and he said it was one of the best burgers he'd ever had. He devoured it without sharing. I ordered the Nashville Chicken because I love Nashville's Hattie B's Hot Chicken. I love spicy food and can handle the heat, but man, oh man - I could NOT get past 1 Nashville chicken strip - it was THAT hot. Nevertheless, we'll be back and I will definitely get one of the regular (no heat!) chicken sandwiches. read more

This place is fabulous! The fried chicken sandwiches are incredible! I love the Rogue with blue cheese

So Jack Tate, owner of the acclaimed Tin Pig, is not only telling his patrons who had a poor experience at his truck not to come back, but not to come back to any other food trucks near him. Over a shitty sandwich? How do the owners and employees of those trucks feel about that? That sucks because my family and I especially love the pierogis, the bbq, the sushi, the cheese boards, the fried rice, and the beer. What a bummer. read more

First off started with guy working counter. He wasn't friendly at all and was irritated at having you order. Next I got the Nashville chicken basket. It was so so salty, I couldn't eat the chicken or the fries. Threw it all away and when I brought it to employee attention, he didn't care at all and didn't offer a refund. Waste of $12. Don't go here! read more

Dry chicken, we've been here two times and I gave the leftover food to my dog and he barely liked it. They also put sugar on their fries (who TF does this!?). Nashville hot chicken sandwich was giant and so hard to chew and too spicy. So disappointing. Won't be back. read more

Went for the sandwich week special and did not disappoint. Crispy, juicy fried chicken sando, added on the fries that had a kiss of sweetness to the seasoning, yum! Super friendly service and great atmosphere. Will be back! read more

I don't think this was intentional? They poured sugar all over the fries. I don't know if this is because they don't provide ketchup and it has sugar in it... ? Gross! I bought the food a half hour before closing but if you use dirty rancid oil when you're closing soon, don't make any more food! !!!What a disappointment I would've liked almost anything tonight I was so hungry. This was a palling. I don't understand the positive reviews but if they do a garbage job before closing, then close early! read more

I had the bird with Nashville sauce and YES! I didn't expect it to actually be spicy but YES! They hit it on! The chicken was tender and made well! Great combination of flavors! And they're fries, tasted like they added some type of sugar so a bit is sweetness. So if your craving some actual spice, come her! read more
