“Back to update my review now that I'm at a computer, and thank you for the response! I had the BBQ plate and a cold crispy that was delicious. I've always loved the vibe and enjoy going on the weekends. The service is always great and during the week, it is a great lunch spot that is highly under rated. Just got back from TX, moving there next month, and this is the closest you're going to get in Bend. Seeing them respond in hours...updating to five stars! Keep being awesome!”
