Upon entering the food truck area, we were immediately released by the soothing music playing throughout the nearby seating area. Hubby informed employee of his severe nut allergy and we were happy to learn that the only things that contains nut is their sour cream and peanut butter rub used for their seitan ribz. After looking at the menu for a few minutes, and seeing the list of ingredients for their vegan mac 'n cheeze sauce, I ordered the St. Louis Style Ribz with mac 'n cheeze and a special vegan Cuban sandwich with kettle chips while hubby ordered the classic mac 'n cheeze with tempeh. Upon picking up our food, we were impressed by the presentation of the food, the portion size and the combination of flavors. This vegan food cart is a must visit! read more

Polite staff check. Food arrived on time check. Food cart pod having a great atmosphere and chill patio with plenty of seating CHECK. Now I had intended to have dinner HERE until I found a vegan option that I was really wanting at another cart. My husband, mom, son and daughter as well as two of my daughter's friends ALL had Lively. Everyone liked it. No one LOVED it and I tasted everything but the kid burritos and was completely underwhelmed. The burritos/wraps were primarily stuffed with 2/3 lettuce and 1/3 the rest. It didn't have much flavor OR flavor difference between the BLT and spicy buffalo chicken wrap. That is an issue for me. Lastly I hated the nachos. I know. Strong words. But I did. They sucked. The chips themselves were like those AWFUL 90's and early 2000's movie theater chips. Dreadful and stale tasting. The best part of the nachos was the jalapenos. Just hard pass on those all together. Also they were absolutely massive. MASSIVE. Like 2 people couldn't have shared them. More like 4. While my family "liked" it (which to me is 3 stars but service and atmosphere give the extra,) you can't get 5 for the food just being meh. read more

Love, love, love this food cart. They offer wonderful vegan options. My favorite is the buffalo ranch wrap, I crave it and order it every time. I have tried other items and they are all very good. But I tend to order my wrap everytime. read more

I went to an event downtown and was having a bad experience so instead of staying at the event, We left. I wanted to eat so of course I started searching. I saw the Lively Up Yourself listing and was sold, another all vegan cart in Bend! read more

Maybe there's a photo of the menu at the Bend location I missed. I'm glad we waited to order until getting to the food cart since there were more menu items at the cart than I saw on their website. I ordered the Krabby Patty sandwich, upgrading my side to Grandma's Potato Salad. My husband had the BLT sandwich, upgraded his side to Mac 'N Cheeze. In the end, we kept sharing both sides - they were SO good! The cheeziness of the Mac was oozy goodness without being heavy. The potato salad had the perfect amount of creaminess, dill, crunch from the celery and onions...I'm salivating just thinking about it. The Krabby Patty was a nice thick patty and lightly crab-esque in texture and flavor. The cajun remoulade was what really made the sandwich WOW. If I get to go back, I'd be happy to get the Krabby Mac, which seems the perfect combination of those two dishes (and a side of the potato salad!). Not to forget the BLT...my husband thought it was perfect in its simplicity. It had the right amount of vegan bacon with the other components inside. Paired with both sides, everything we ate was delicious and luring us back for more! read more

Amazing food! I haven't had ranch or potato salad in years (since going vegan) and this was way better than anything I remember (non-vegan)! I wish we lived closer, we'd eat here all the time read more

Not for the non vegans. My daughter suffered through her order of mac and cheese. She said it was the worst food she has eaten. Our family of five all took a bite and had to agree. Wow, this is 5 stars for the vegans?! It sure is a taste bud switch that may require years. Wasn't for any of us. read more

OMG! Vegan comfort food heaven!! I've had the breakfast burrito and the spicy chkn wrap twice because they were absolutely amazing ! Also ordered the Mac and cheese twice which their recipients delicious! Very quick order time and awesome staff. You can call in ahead of time if you want to make it even faster. Love the food here and pairs well with the beer at the Midtown Yacht Club. Whether your vegan or not this food is the bomb!!! read more

Amazing 100% Vegan street food. Such a breath of fresh air in a place that's kind of a little bit difficult to find purely vegan options. Beautiful little market place and sweet little food truck. Everything we got was amazing. Barbecue "ribz", buffalo strips, and mac & cheese were all smashing. All of the flavor with none of the torture. Thank you! read more

Lively Up Yourself - LOVE THIS!!!! - Vegan Near Me - Bend, Oregon

Delicious Vegan menu in a lovely location. We tried the BBQ burrito which had jackfruit, brown rice, red cabbage rolled in a grilled flour tortilla. Delicious! Very nice service too. We sat at a fireplace outside and it was super pleasant. There are about 6 food carts to chose from. Definitely recommend! read more

Stoked over this find! Was in town for the Holiday weekend and found this gem of deliciousness! Hubs and I both got their top selling combo of spicy chick'n sandwich with potato salad. Sandwich was perfectly crispy with a mouth watering toasted bun, slaw and sweet spicy pickles. The potato salad tops the P.S. charts in my opinion, perfectly balanced with creamy dill and crunch! Will be back soon and add pics! read more

One of our favorite local spots in Bend. We've now been twice (once about a 18 months ago, and tonight). This food truck is located in a little space with 5 or so others surrounding a few tables and fire pits. They offer a vegan menu (that seems to have grown in size since our first visit) and the staff are super friendly. Our favorite items include the vegan Mac, the ribs (best meat alternative we've had) and the cornbread. My non-vegan boyfriend excitedly described this as his favorite food in Bend. The menu photo that I posted is their most up to date (it can be a little hard to tell on the website). We also had a hard time ordering takeout through grub hub but were able to call in an order. read more

Came here for the second time today for lunch. Had the BLT and potato salad. Absolutely delicious! Everything was fresh and so tasty. One of my top three favorite food trucks in town! read more

Did my research before coming to bend on the vegan options and found this restaurant on the list. $14 for a bbq that was filling. Delicious corn bread, collared greens, Mac and cheese, and beans. read more

Love this vegan food truck!! The girl that was there was really sweet. I ordered a BLTA. It was the best I've ever had!!! Perfectly grilled to a crunch and so delicious, my kids ate it all! Love the ambience here too! Pretty cool spot! read more

Fell short of expectations... I don't normally write reviews but we were very disappointed. I really wanted to believe the reviews but we have traveled all over the country and tried many vegan restaurants and this food truck just didn't fit the bill. The Mac and cheese tasted like nooch and tomatoes. The ribs were just okay. A good rib needs a good BBQ sauce not just catchup on top. The crabbie app was just a mushy tasteless blob but on the plus side the siracha sauce was amazing, so was the cornbread but for what we spent we had hoped for more than edible. read more

Great place to enjoy a variety of unique Vegan foods. The owner always has great recommendations for adds and twist that make the food even more amazing! read more

Amazing place! I don't normally do food trucks, but Lively Up Yourself, I will. Even if vegan dishes aren't your thing, you'll love this place. Their Buffalo and BBQ Mac and Cheese is incredible. They have the cheeze perfected. Perfect portions, great prices. The owners are so cool. The only suggestion I have is ask for a spoon, because a fork just slows you down. I was in Bend Oregon for a wedding and my daughter found this place. We will now most likely go back to Bend JUST to hang out in this neighborhood and eat at Lively Up Yourself. Ya need to try it. No animals were harmed in the making of this review. Eco, pup and vegan friendly. read more

One of the only SUPER solid vegan places in all of Bend. They're breakfast burrito is my favorite in Bend by far! I also really liked their BLT-ish lettuce tempeh wrap. Prices are high, but that's Bend for ya. Love love love their food. read more

Had high hopes for this place, but our dish was a miss. Split the vegan mac and cheese, and added a slice of bacon. The pasta texture was great and the bacon was tasty but the sauce was SO sweet, like way too sweet! I've tried tons of vegan macs and everyone has personal preferences but there was no "cheese" element to this, my mom couldn't eat hers and I ended up throwing most of mine away. I'd love to try some of there other options but would stay away from the mac. read more

Lively Up Yourself - Vegan Mac and Cheese with Bacon - Vegan Near Me - Bend, Oregon

I'm usually an easy person to please, and this month I've had odd dietary constraints while on an elimination diet. The fine folks here helped me pick through their menu with substitutions and modifications to find what would work, and best of all it was darn tasty. I highly recommend the greens and tempeh! A great place to meet up with anyone that has other dietary desires and enjoy food together under the sky and near a bright burning fire. read more

This plate was so delicious! All their food is plant based. This looked small but I couldn't even finish half so I will have it as a dinner meal too. The bbq Mac bowl is Mac and cheese with ribz on top of it. The menu is outside in front of their food truck. The price is a bit pricey for each plate but the food is worth it. I also ordered a vanilla shake but didn't take a photo. The drink is small but very heavy. The drink was good too. I was overall happy with my meal here. The meal didn't not take that long. They have a bell to ring or knock on the window if they're not there. They had a bottle of hand sanitizer out available for customers. The employee was friendly during our interactions. And you receive a buzzer for when your meal is ready to pick up. read more

Vegan comfort food delivered to my door? My prayers have been answered! Probably the best vegan breakfast burrito in town. If you are really looking for comfort food, try out the BBQ Mac n cheeze. Your tastebuds will thank you! Definitely will be ordering from here again. Gotta support local vegan restaurants in Bend! Update: I came back and tried the vegan BLT and my mind was blown. The vegan bacon tastes so much like the real thing I was in disbelief. read more

My wife is gluten free and she just started eating vegan for health reasons. Dr. Neal Barnard has done years of research on high carb/low fat vegan lifestyle and this way of eating lowers your risk of numerous diseases. So.. the wife is new to all of this and found this food truck and loves it! The two restrictions of GF and Vegan are VERY difficult when eating out. She can eat at this spot and I can get something at one of the other food trucks at Midtown. Its the best of both worlds!! Our new date night spot! read more

Yes, go here! Delicious food - fantastic for vegans and omnivores alike. There's great Mac & Cheese (love the buffalo version), crab cakes, loaded nachos, and amazing potato salad! The gentleman behind the counter was super friendly. And the atmosphere was relaxed and relaxing (& dog friendly)! Recommended! read more

I love having some good vegan food in Bend! The Buffalo Mac and Cheese was delicious and the milkshake was creamy and perfect.

Found this place via Yelp. Always down to try new Vegan food options here in town. All I can say is Wow!!! finally a great breakfast burrito option. I loved it so much came back for dinner the same day and ordered the BBQ plate. The texture and flavor was Truly amazing!! Highly recommend weather your vegan or not! read more

I was super excited to try this vegan food truck and the food was really yummy. Very sweet lady running the truck. We ordered the queso and chips, bbq burrito, breakfast burrito and Mac and cheese. All were very tasty but i found not one but two hairs in my burrito which kind of ruined everything for me. read more

So, so glad finally stopped to find and check this little gem out! Always excited to check out new vegan options in town and have found a new favorite breakfast grab and go! I got breakfast to go for the fam since it was a bit chilly out. However, she does have a nice touch patio heater that kept me warm while waiting for the grub. My husband got the breakfast burrito and I shared the tofu Benedict with my daughter. Both were so good! Burrito was big and had a good blend of flavors. The homemade sausage was yummy! The Benedict also was a good size for me to share with kiddo. It was the best vegan Benedict I've had, and I've had quite a few over the years. The owner, Sarah, was super friendly and the food came out in a timely manner. It was a bit challenging to find, but now that I know where it is, I'll be back for sure. It's in the alley behind the Bunk and Brew hostel. Go check it out and spread the love! read more

Delicious!! We found this while on a road trip through Bend. I ordered the buffalo chicken wrap, it was super yummy! Kids got mac and cheese, husband got ribs- everyone was happy with their meals! We would definitely be regulars if we lived close. read more

Great vegan comfort food. The mac and cheese is very tasty, so is the buffalo chick'n.

Not much of a vegan myself, but always open to try new things. My fiancée isn't vegan either, but has had her episodes in the past. Anyways, we decided on the BBQ Mac Bowl and we would both highly recommend it. It was absolutely delicious and we can't wait to try more of their menu. read more

I was intrigued by the concept and really wanted to try it - got the BBQ mac and cheese & buffalo mac & cheese. It was ok, will definitely not go back for more. read more

Vegan food cart, done RIGHT! Just set back off of Hill street, great value and large portion sizes. Tonight we ordered the BBQ plate and will order it again in the future. I also ordered the Chili and cornbread, I wanted to ask the staff for an entire plate of the cornbread. Yummy!!!!!!!!! Staff were friendly and efficient. Dogs are welcome. read more
