    Top! I love all burger types - thick ones, thin ones, crunchy ones, ones with a bunch of vegetables, ones with a lot of bacon, I've definitely had bad burgers, but generally, I have a pretty wide perspective on what a good burger is. I think these guys do a fantastic job of making a "smashburger" - these are thin, with crispy edges, onions are not always used (they are a one dollar add-on, which makes sense because not everybody likes onions), and have a nice mouth feel with plenty of fresh veggies (not "traditional" for a smashburger in my opinion, but I like it here), oh and the buns were nice and fresh-good quality, without being too thick. They are super friendly and quick - and the crinkle cut fries are nice and the salty and crispy They also have ice cream sandwiches and cold cans of pop. I've only been here twice, but I will definitely be back again. Highly recommend. Oh, and if you have a gluten intolerance, they do offer gluten-free Franz buns, and they can make you a seasoning-free plain burger patty for your dog

    Great smashburger without being too heavy! The food truck is in the Waypoint hotel parking lot. My burger was ready within 5 mins and the staff was super friendly (to humans and dogs! Gave my pup a piece of bacon so I know this place won him over).

    Nuggs always golden, perfect. Usually they're seasoned but my daughter wanted plain. I prefer seasoned.

    As others have said Bend is overrun with $24 elk burgers that, in spite of the steep price tag are still meh. Food here is great and not overpriced, honesty makes me nostalgic but ultimately makes me... full? Satisfied. Double smash burger is two patties with sauce and a great bun that's not too bready and dry. Sauce is perfect. Anything besides that you want an your burger and you'll need to ask for. Or get the deluxe with lettuce/tomato/bacon. My kids love the chicken nuggets, they're perfectly cooked and seasoned. Fries are good, I especially like the loaded fries with cheese and smash sauce. My wife likes the fish sandwich... pretty much can't go wrong, it's all been good. Vibe is great, friendly service and good food at a fair price. Grab a beer in the hotel lobby and you're in for a great time.

    MidCity Smashburger is an awesome new addition to Westside Bend! They recently opened up shop in front of the original Boneyard Taproom, which also just reopened. The burgers here are the best in Bend. Highly recommend stopping by this food truck. In 2021, they were named Portland's Best Smash Burger, and in 2022, landed the #2 spot in a list for the "50 Best Burgers in the World." An RPM IPA (on Boneyard's new Lake Place patio) paired with a MidCity Smash Burger is about as good as it gets.

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.

But this place in Bend... this is serious burger territory. First thing you notice: they're not messing around with the menu. Just burgers that understand what a burger is supposed to be. Double patty. Brioche bun. Cheese doing its job. America. I ordered The O.G. because I respect tradition. American cheese, caramelized onions, burger sauce. Simple system. Works great. Like a pickup truck that starts every time. My buddy got The Popper which is basically what happens when a jalapeño popper and a burger start collaborating. Bacon, jalapeño cream cheese, ranch. It looked like something a scientist made to test the limits of happiness. Fries were solid. Soda cold. No weird nonsense. Just burgers doing burger things. Only reason it's 4 stars instead of 5 is because if I lived closer I would probably eat here too often and that feels medically irresponsible. I'd give it 6 stars if Yelp understood burgers better.

The owners closed up shop downtown and created this new place on 2nd Street in Bend's Central District. It's now called Dogwood at the Pine Shed. Why Yelp won't create a new, distinct page for the Pine Shed is beyond me. That said, the Pine Shed is a fine place for drinks and food truck fare. The open, spacious 'shed' has plenty of varied seating surrounding a nice bar with quite a few tables outside on the patio. Mobility-challenged folks have choices too. For those worried about 2nd Street's reputation for sketchiness, don't be. Revitalization efforts by the city have transformed the area. At times of good weather, with the big doors open, the Pine Shed is quite a nice spot to relax. Cocktails were the raison d'etre for the former incarnation of Dogwood and that emphasis transfers here to the Pine Shed. I particularly like their versions of a margarita but the other cocktails are uniformly good too. The beer tap offerings are not so spectacular, however, with only four (and a cider). On one visit shortly after they opened for business, two beer taps were tapped out, which can be chalked up to growing pains. In any case, the Pine Shed can't be seriously regarded as a tap house in the style of the many others in Bend (On Tap, River's Place, Crosscut, The Lot, The Podski, Midtown Yacht Club, etc.). Come for the cocktails. They do offer low ABV and zero ABV drinks. At present, the food truck choices are abundant and pretty decent. Being trucks/carts, and thus mobile and prone to relocating themselves, I'll not list them here. Best to check the Pine Shed's webpage for current offerings and then go to the relevant Yelp page for reviews. Parking is street only, no parking lot. The city has completed construction on 2nd Street so there are more spots available than before.

To order, you pick your protein (chicken, steak, or tofu) and pick your boat (rice, noodles, baguette, or salad). Current prices are $14 for chicken or tofu and $16 for steak. I tried the chicken baguette option (a self described banh mi) which came with cucumbers, pickled carrots and daikon, and garlic aioli sauce. In my experience, a banh mi is commonly made with pork and pate. Obviously, Da Nang can serve whatever food they want; I'm not making a claim about authenticity. But, I think their sandwich would have been better with these ingredients. The sandwich was good but not great. The baguette was very good -- crusty on the outside but soft on the inside. The flavors were good, but relied heavily on the garlic aioli to pull it together. The chicken was a little dry without the aioli. When I got all the ingredients together in one bite, it was pretty good, but the sandwich size/shape made this difficult. IMO It tasted more like a "chicken and pickled vegetables" sandwich than a banh mi. Service was friendly. It took about 10 minutes to get the sandwich and they gave me a buzzer to tell me when it was ready.

Lots of food truck options and the layout is simple and easy to compare your options side by side.

We ordered a couple items from the BBQ truck (will do a separate review). There appears to be a nice sized stage for live performances as well as multiple fire pits and heaters for when things cool down at night or in the winter. Parking is a decent size, though don't be fooled by your map app and turn into the shopping strip just before it, they have signs everywhere that that parking is NOT for the food trucks/on Tap. Optional street parking as well, even if the street is a little tight. Would return for sure.
