We stopped by last weekend when in town for a couple days. We happened by this food truck park,…read moreand without any particular craving, I chose NWS cuz hey, you can't go wrong with chicken right? Well we were very glad with the selection. I chose a 3 strip meal with fries and a chicken sandwich with fries, no sauces, just plain. In a nutshell, even though the customer service wasn't overly friendly, the chicken more than made up for it. Both my hubby and I felt like it was the best chicken we'd had in a long time. The cook was perfect, chicken juicy and tender. The breading wasn't thick, quite thin actually, and full of flavor. No sauces needed, we just enjoyed the chicken...and I'm generally a major dipping saucer. Add to the wonderful chicken some hand cut fries, cooked well (although I like mine a bit crunchier). I highly recommend this truck for anyone in the mood for some good old-fashioned fried chicken. Two thumbs up!

Restaurant Review - Fire on the Mountain - Bend, Oregon…read more I had lunch here with a friend and his wife, whom I just met. This is a very casual restaurant. In fact, pretty much everything about Fire on the Mountain is casual. The staff was mellow, and it is a standard walk-up, order, get a number, and find-a-seat setup. That part went smoothly. We sat outside, which was a comfortable space. The whole restaurant feels airy, relaxed, and yes, very casual. Our order came out fairly quickly. The food was presented well, but this is where the experience fell short. My Straight-Up Chicken Sandwich lived up to its name. It was just that, a straight-up chicken sandwich. Nothing really set it apart from what I could throw together at home. The tater tots were straight out of a school cafeteria or from my own freezer and air fryer. Two thumbs up, however, for the Hawaiian Punch. I checked with my dining companions, and they agreed their meals were on the average side. One mentioned her BBQ chicken salad was overdressed. "Doused" was the word she used. The other said the barbecue sauce on his sandwich was thin and bland. Prices are right in line with what is common these days. Sandwiches run about $16 to $17, with $2 to $3 add-ons for cheese, bacon, etc. With tip, lunch for the three of us came to about $59. That is standard for Bend now, though it still stings. I pressed the printed ticket button but never received one, and I did not bother to ask. Not a big deal. Overall, it was a nice lunch with good company. The space is pleasant, and the staff covered the basics. But the food did not stand out, and there was nothing about the experience that would make me suggest to friends, "Hey, let's go to Fire on the Mountain." I will probably pass on a return visit.

Wings used to be more crispy fried and not drowning in sauce.

I opted for the Sticky Gochujang and Jamaican Jerk (six each), thinking that would provide two disparate tastes given my experiences with both. As it turned out, not so much. Both sixes of wings were well prepared and quite tasty but were also (over)loaded with sauce. I normally expect jerk wings to be dry. The Korean wings were not so much 'sticky' as drowned in sauce. Frankly, the flavors were similar. Prices are high but that's what you have to expect these days in Bend. The wings are not small as some have suggested. Fairly normal sized, I'd say. Haven't tried a crepe yet but the photos look enticing. I give this cart a thumbs up although next time I'll try the Old Bay style which friends have reported to be of the dry variety.

The ambiance and service here were top notch, definitely gives a 90's diner vibe…read more We got the Pop R Onion burger with waffle fries, which in itself wasn't bad - it was just a bit underwhelming for $24 There is a high up-charge just to switch the beef patty for a thin veggie one. It's the same price to get a double beef patty on any of the burgers as it is to switch for one veggie. Also fries are not included, which was $6 for about 6 waffle fries Maybe I'm still living in the 90s, but for that price I'd hope for a little more grand and a little more filling

My wings were overcooked and a little rubbery when I ate them. Maybe we had a bad experience and should be dining in-restaurant. The food was good enough that I'd give it another try.

I'll preface by stating that this establishment is a bar with a food truck lot. It is not the…read moreDogwood downtown cocktail bar that is the subject of the prior hundreds of reviews. 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.

The pandan flan was fun to try, it has a subtly sweet pandan flavor. A good dessert to split with a few people at the table. The overall ambiance was clean, lively, and well decorated.
