The only brewery I didn't get to visit last year was Cascade Lakes, so I made sure it was my first stop on this visit. The 7th Street location in Redmond looks like an older log cabin, with a large patio out front. It's conveniently located to downtown Redmond, easily walkable from other restaurants, bars, and breweries if you're staying nearby. Going inside, I quickly realized this was a friendly local place where people come and the bartender knows your name and order. I ordered two flights on my visit; all the beer was great. They have a number of core staples, plus a bunch of small batch beers you can read about on the chalkboard near the door. The bartender was immediately friendly and welcoming; I said it was my first time there and she told me it's the oldest not-for-profit brewery in Oregon, donating all their post-bill/payroll profits to local charities. I was also here at lunch time and ordered maybe the best tuna melt I've ever had - rich, buttery, and delicious. They have lots of beers packaged to go as well. If you're doing the Bend Ale Trail, this is a fun stop and worth venturing to Redmond for if staying in Bend. read more

The service here is always excellent in my experience. My wife and I visit regularly and always enjoy the vibe. The food is typical bar fare, but is still delicious with generous portions. If you order anything with fries, I recommend upgrading to the hand cut fries or sweet potato fries. read more

The beers are great. The food is on the low end of acceptable. The fry cook obviously doesn't care about quality when he serves fried, battered fish that is dark brown. The same with the calamari. Blame management. They also, obviously don't care about quality. They used to make the best Mac and cheese I've ever eaten. Then they took it off the menu. Also made a decent Tuna melt. Took it off the menu, too. The French dip I had yesterday had barely enough meat, which was finely chopped and dry. They didn't even give enough a jus to dip the whole sandwich. I asked for no garlic butter bc it overwhelms everything else. Lots to improve here. Oh, and you can't get regular fries with no salt bc they come rather heavily pre-salted. The fixes would be so easy, but apparently no one in management cares. read more

Good food Friendliest waiters Cool decor 10/10 do recommend The hot shot burger was really good and the sweet potato fries are really good. read more

Good fish & chips is something I missed since moving from Western Washington to Central Oregon. Cascade Lakes has a decent fish and chips. They also have a very extensive beer list. read more

I don't get to Redmond pubs much, mainly because I have little desire to travel down Hwy 97 to Bend afterwords. But it does happen (I don't drink much when I do). Hot day and we were looking for a pub with shade. Cascade Lakes at 7th certainly fills the bill with their large covered patio. The inside seems good as well but we weren't interested in mingling with people. CL's beer is familiar to me both from their pub in Bend and from home drinking. While not my favorite, it's pretty good and they have a large variety. Foodwise, things weren't quite as great. My wife is a vegetarian and the menu is pretty sparse in that regard. CL would do well to add a few things. Maybe a Beyond or Impossible plant-based burger (they have a black bean but those generally aren't very good) and a vegetable dish. That said, the server was very accomodating in creating a custom nacho plate for her. I had a reuben which was fine. Beers were fine too but the IPA wasn't chilled enough. I dropped a few ice cubes in to lower the temp. Heresy, I know. Great patio and I like that they have a self-serve water and to-go box station. Recommended. read more

This place is reliable , consistent and a pillar of food and service in the community .

This place knows how to treat its guests--and their appetites! The nachos were impressively large, blanketed in rich, melty cheese and loaded with juicy grilled chicken. Every bite felt indulgent and satisfying, without any unnecessary extras--just pure comfort. The service was exceptional, too: warm, prompt, and genuinely welcoming. It's rare to find a spot that nails both flavor and friendliness like this. If you're craving something hearty and delicious, these nachos are the answer. I'll absolutely be back for more! read more

Great shaded patio. Had a glass of their very own Elk Camp IPA it was pretty good. Service was excellent. read more

Great menu selections, inside and outside seating, and always friendly service. With so many burger and beer options available, this place delivers every time! Not the fanciest place in town, but the positive vibe from the servers sets it above the rest. read more

Great beers available and their burgers are fantastic. I love their outdoor patio as well as their indoor seating, providing a very central Oregon vibe. Waiter was very efficient and friendly, adding friendly entertainment for my infant niece. Always wonderful to spend time here when I visit family. read more

The parking lot is deceiving very full but plenty of tables on Saturday around 3 pm. I ordered the cheese steak sandwich it was tasty and the Amoroso roll was amazing! It came with a huge pile of fries. Service was friendly and attentive. read more

Been going there for 7 years and the good is not as good as it used to be. Prime rib was terrible and like eating shoe leathers. I won't order that ever again. Prices are too high high. read more

This place has one of our favorite orders in Central Oregon. We absolutely love the tuna melt. I don't know how they make it so good or what flavors are in it but it's the best we have had. We like to split that and the Buffalo chicken salad which is big, loaded and delicious. Sometimes we drive to redmond from Sisters just for this order. I'm not sure we've ever had anything else there haha. The service is always friendly and the atmosphere is nice. We like sitting on the patio with our pup. They are also great about pick up orders over the phone too. read more

I wanted to like this place more than I did. It has pretty good reviews, a cute patio, and happy customers hanging out inside and outside. The host who sat us was very kind. While we didn't talk to the GM, he seemed very charismatic and was chatting with some customers at the table next to us. Our experience wasn't bad, I appreciated that they had kombucha and my husband liked his beer. I also appreciated that they included gluten free items on the menu (thank you!). The happy hour deals were good. The appetizer plate was pretty standard and my burger was okay. I must have caught our server on an off day, because I didn't have super friendly service. It seemed almost as if we were an inconvenience to her, but I like to give people benefit of the doubt. Overall, this place is cute and gets the job done. read more

It's great for what it is. It's pretty typical bar food a just a little better. Staff is nice and the outdoor area makes it that much better

This is a great little spot. It used to be part of a neighborhood back when I lived here oh so many years ago. Their food is great! I had a burger, and it was delicious. I stuck to soft drinks as I'm not a beer drinker but I was impressed with their options and various flights of beers here. This was all pre-Covid so I'm not sure of the situation there now. I look forward to trying this place again once we can safely move about the cabin. read more

Really happy to find this place in Redmond. Have had lunch there several times now and not disappointed. I had steak salad. Lots of real steak. Very tender. My wife had BLTT hold the turkey. It came loaded with bacon. Fries were also good Sat outside under some large trees that kept us in the shade. Service was just right. read more

Good Reuben sandwich, service was ok for only one person working the front. She ran her tail off and was friendly. Need more staff on the floor. Owners need to clean up the outside of the business, parking lot , curb and walkways need power washed and maybe sweep weekly ? First impression from outside is its dirty. Better inside read more

I was told wings were out about an hour and i waited drinking a couple beers and they still weren't available. I ended up not ordering any food. Service was slow, I saw 3 servers available but it looked like a steady night, was not packed. Beer was okay, not impressed with their selection. Not worth coming if your visit Redmond, best to go to Wild Ride or Initiative brewery, have had better service there. read more

It's just your average brew spot place. Food is nothing to rate. Just typical. Nothing I've had that I would crave or want to go back for. Service is good...a little slow. read more

My original review says that I couldn't see this becoming my "go-to" spot and yet.... this last year it has become my go-to spot and I don't see that changing now. I started coming here more frequently because it's the closest place to eat/drink after running my errands and eventually I ended up loving it more and more. I don't have much to add to my first review in terms of information but felt after all this time it was still fair to update it. The bartenders are very friendly and I've met a lot of interesting people from hanging out here. I love the food and alternate between the cheese sticks, chicken strips, and chicken caesar salads, but I also enjoy the wraps. I still love the outside seating with the fireplace. My favorite places are always the ones with outside seating where you can drink and smoke. I've also started watching more of my baseball games here (when I'm not sitting outside). As recent reviews have already stated, there is new ownership and a new menu (that seems to only be slightly changed), but the staff is still as great as ever. read more

Love the food and service at Cascade Lakes at 7th Street! The food is always good and so are the drinks! The staff is friendly and helpful! The patio is a great place to eat and you can bring your dog ! read more

Was in from out of town for a few weeks. Visited twice. First time wife and I sat at a table and had great service, food was delicious. Wings are great. The second time I was in (only returning to grab a beer and buy a cool t shirt before leaving Oregon) sat at the bar for 10+ min I swear the bartender was refusing to turn around and face the bar before a server noticed and embarrassingly took my order. Wish I would have gotten the bartenders name. I dont know what his deal was. They were slow, I was maybe one of three at the bar. Food and beer are great. I'm only leaving this review to urge management to watch the lazy bartender. read more

One of my favorite lunch spots in town the smoked wings are the best the Philly cheesesteak has great flavor but is skimpy on the meat and so is the Ruben if you add more meat to your sandwiches it would be terrific have always had great service read more

Great food, great vibes and Deb Badger is the best server!! C'mon down; this is Redmond's Cheers bat!

Two stars for great service. However the burgers that we ordered were clearly pre-cooked and reheated, both patties were over cooked and bone dry but lukewarm. Same with the fries. Fairly disappointing at $16-17 price point per burger. read more

Staff in fact does not wear masks and the food was terrible. Barely any meat or sauce on the Ruben and the fires were rock hard. Od only go if I wanted Covid. read more

We love coming here. Always great service, always great food. Tonight we had the pleasure of being taken care of by Lex and Miles. Both could not be more attentive, friendly and professional. Beers are brewed locally, and (in my opinion), are the best of the Ale Trail. Don't miss Cascade Lakes 7th Street! read more

Love this place so much. Come here every time I fly back home from visiting my parents. The servers always rush our order bc we're usually running late for me to catch my flight ha. The tuna melt was amazing (don't think they have it anymore sadly) the clam chowder is AMAZING. Everything is just really yummy. That plus a lovely staff. This place rules. Oh and they have a cute outdoor area with a fire pit for when it's freezing out read more

The food here is okay. I really enjoy the atmosphere more than the food here. Really nice staff and good outdoor seating area. I have been here 4 times now as it is a good place to schedule work meetings. read more

I have lived in Redmond for quite some time, but based on local recommendations have never tried this establishment. Long time friends have always told me that the service was terrible and so I stayed away. Today, I decided to find out for myself. My mom was visiting from out of town and she wanted to go to lunch. I wanted to try something different than the usual places I take her when she is here. Initial impressions were not bad. It is a nice space with a great outdoor covered and heated area. The inside is loud, likely due to the low ceilings. There were not a lot of people there. Maybe four or five tables full inside but most of the outdoor seating was full. My mom and I were both servers for a good part of our lives, so we notice things. When we sat down we noticed that the front glass on a bar fridge near a servers station was very dirty. No big deal. Being in the service industry, it does make me wonder what else isn't being cleaned. But not enough to really make me not want to eat there. We got our drinks relatively quickly but the food took longer than I would have expected. But it was good. I have zero complaints about the food. Our food was brought out by someone other than our sever, and when I told him I would like ranch for my fries, when he brought it, he just put it on the table and walked away. I was turned away so I didn't even notice he brought it. I found it a bit odd that he wouldn't say "here you go" or something, anything. But didn't think much of it. He did seem a little odd. Then, I was sitting there chatting with my mom. The server station was right next to our table. My mom, being the type of person who is always worrried about being an inconvenience, said to me that we could go whenever I was ready. I replied to her that I was in no hurry and just waiting for a box. The waitress at the station near us much have heard me because she wheeled around and put a box on the table without saying a word. My mom also needed a box. It felt very rude and passive agressive. I wasn't even talking to her or insinuating that I needed a box right that moment. I was just telling my mom that I wasn't in a hurry. I still needed a box, to pay, etc. We didn't need to leave right that minute. On top of it all, and I know there is nothing that the restaurant can do about this, but I definitely wouldn't sit next to the bar if there is a next time. There was a guy who was interested in a girl that had come in that apparently worked at another local restaurant and this staff knew her or knew of her. So there was a lot of banter back and forth about this girl between him and the wait staff (while I was waiting for a box and the bill, although again I wasn't in a hurry so it wasn't a big deal). This person was also having dialogue with another bar patron about this girl that wasn't exactly the type of thing I wanted to hear while I was eating with my 75 year old mother. Honestly, all of this probably would not have had much of an impact on me except the very rude way the waitress working responded to a comment during a conversation she was not a part of, and just put a box on the table without saying a word. It's hard to explain, but to me, that was super rude. Almost like she was irritated that I said I was waiting for a box. So, I did not leave our server a 20% tip. I really would like for everyone working in a restaurant or bar know that if their co-workers are interacting with their customers, this also affects their tip. without all of the other stuff, I probably would have given his waiter a 20% tip. the service was a bit slow, and if he had asked me, I probably wouldn't have had a second beer. But he didn't come back to check on us until I was past wanting a second because he was engaging in the conversation about the girl that the guy at the bar was interested in. Not a super terrible experience, but definitely enough to make me not want to go back. If you have high standards for service, I am not sure you will get it satisfied here. But. the food was not bad. Take out maybe? If you are a server, remember how you behave influences the tips for those you work with if you are interacting with their customers. You can make or break your coworkers. read more

The atmosphere is great with covered outdoor seating with high quality very comfortable wood picnic tables. The staff are very friendly and accommodating to our needs, kept our drinks filled. The food was great, fresh and generous portions without being too much. read more

One of our favorite spots and breweries in Redmond! The staff is so friendly and makes you feel very welcome, especially Dianne and Deb! Great food selection and always delicious. They make a fabulous Reuben and the buffalo chicken salad is a favorite too. Great beer selection and full bar for non beer people. Awesome new outside patio area. Worth visiting for sure! read more

Diane at 7th street was awesome!! Love her personality and laughter Maddie is also awesome! The happy hour wine was great ​ read more

Nice outdoor and indoor seating options, with garage doors for natural indoor lighting. Service was average, and special modifications were not honored. Gyro pita meat was delicious, Tzatziki sauce was very disappointing. Cajun fries and normal fries that came with burger were delicious, and generous portion! Nachos come with a gourmet cheese sauce, these were good as well. read more

I used to love going to Seventh. I was a regular, on the daily. However, the manager/owner let go of one of the best servers they ever had. Diane is one of the best servers/bartenders ever. There's also talk that Management is looking to get better looking servers in the place. Seriously?! That's disgusting. Cascade Lakes beer sucks anyway. And the food sucks. Do not go to 7th. read more

Incredibly welcoming and friendly staff. Huge meal portions, great beer. Worth the stop.

Usually one of my favorites with excellent service. If Ryan is your server move tables/seat!! Sat at bar and he was hardly ever there. Ignored us when he was at bar. Gave us small cup of beer when we ordered a glass and then charged us full pint price for beer! Normally I would give 4-5 stars as all other times I have had great service. Make sure you have anyone but Ryan as a waiter he is to concerned with chewing his gum and hanging outside! read more
