The 'OG' double has those perfect crispy, lacy edges that you can never quite get at home. Simple, no-nonsense, and fairly priced compared to everywhere else in Bend right now. Pro tip: Don't skip the loaded fries.

Look. I've eaten burgers in a lot of places. Airports. Gas stations. One time outside a golf course…read morethat didn't even technically sell burgers. 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.

Easily one of the best food trucks in Bend. COTTO does Italian food right -- comforting, flavorful,…read moreand always consistent. We stopped by after school and tried the 12-layer lasagna (incredible), the chopped beef sando (my favorite), and the zeppole donuts (the kids destroyed them -- sugar everywhere, totally worth it). Every dish was spot-on. You can tell everything is made with care, from the sauces to the fresh pasta. The specials are always creative and worth checking out. Service is quick, and the team is friendly even when it's busy. COTTO is a standout at The Podski -- great food, local vibe, and a perfect spot to grab a drink and a bite outdoors. Definitely one of my go-tos in Bend.

The Nasty kimchi hot dog was so good that I will crave rest of my life. Pizza was better than some of my favorite pizza spots and wings were so yummy and fresh! Because it was raining we couldn't sit outside but inside was pretty good as well! I recommend this place 100%!

They are host to a bunch of killer food trucks, AND they have a great bar serving a great collection of local microbrews. The locals are very cool and inviting of out of towners like myself! Old school Nintendo 64 Mario golf going on the big screen made this a fun place to hang out for sure! Go here.

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.

Picked up an absolute delicious corn dog at the Corn Dog Co food truck. They had the truck at the…read moreriver surfing competition last weekend. The prices are decent and the quality and flavor is well worth the cost. The Corn Dog was cooked to perfection, the staff was super friendly and kind. There was a great vibe coming from the staff and it was nice to be able to sit by the river and enjoy my meal. They offer to top your Corn Dog with honey, mustard, ketchup or sweet chili sauce. 9/10 on this Corn Dog one of the best I've had.

We've tried Jia more than 3 times. Mostly dining in and once for take out. When they first opened…read morewe figured they needed to work out some kinks (everything was tasting and very similar to PF Changs). Now that there is a new owner, dining in, food is much better. Portions are on point with price. Takeout is another story half the food for the same price. Takeout portions are drastically smaller and not worth the expense and time picking up. Pick up times that they give you are way off. Showed up about 5 minutes before the scheduled pick up but had to wait another 30 mins past their pick up time before the order was ready. Hopefully they can improve because they're a great asset to the community in the south part of Bend. I'll update with another review next time we stop in.
