This place is fantastic! The fish tacos are delicious and portions are large. The fries are excellent and I love the dark meat gluten-free fried chicken. And waffles! They have a ton of sauces to choose from - spicy Thai is my favorite. The employees are always kind and attentive. I love the ambiance at The Lot. The summer is festive and it’s cozy in the winter with heated benches and fire pits. Highly recommend!
Their gluten free pizza was of the best I've ever had. They also have vegan cheese. Friendly staff made the experience memorable as well. I'll definitely go back next time I'm in Bend
Stood in line and when we finally got a chance to order, we were told they were “not doing any more gluten free pizzas for the night”. You either offer something or you don’t, pick one please. Huge waste of our time.
I am so impressed with this place. All the dishes on the buffet were gluten free. Of course if you go ask to make sure. I’m am not celiac but have a sensitivity to gluten. There are a few obvious things like the naan, that have gluten. I called ahead of time to ask and when I showed up Raj immediately took me over to the bar and showed me what contains gluten, very few things. He had the kitchen prepare me hot GF naan that tastes like naan! All the things on the bar were delicious! We felt welcomed and all employees were very friendly and gracious. My son and I will be back!
We have eaten at several Abbys, and they always do a great job accommodating our gluten allergies. (My daughter and I have celiac)
Very friendly and caring about our needs! We know it's hard taking precautions to keep us from getting sick, but we appreciate the willingness to help us while we are traveling!
My wife has celiacs. This is one of a few GF options in town. They take good care to keep everything seperated from glutened items. Thank you so much! Though under staffed still decent service.
Just had a great meal! A group of 6 of us were seated immediately. The server was very friendly. Every single dish you could tell was made with love and great flavor. I loved all the gluten free options. All the garnishes and dishes were thoughtfully made and everything seemed extremely fresh.
Excellent food. For those who like to keep their eating clean and healthy and often gluten-free this is a great option! The service was not friendly so I wasn’t able to get a five star review.
Great food, great service. Noi Thai is on my "must do" list whenever I am in Bend. I am celiac and there are enough GF choices to make it hard for me to decide what to pick. Then the waiter there were more things on the menu that could be made GF...
Food was okay. The gluten free crust was a frozen one so we paid a lot of money when we felt we could have got a frozen pizza for the same. Gluten friendly but not celiac safe. We also ordered gluten free and then they made ours regular so we had to ask them to remake it and they did with no problems or anything. Service was wonderful but not our best experience food wise.
We made reservations a week ahead for Mother’s Day. We were traveling from Idaho and ended a seven hour drive with dinner at the grill in Bend. We were a few minutes early and checked in- Two adults, six kids including a baby in high chair.
We were waiting quite a while, especially with a reservation. The deck seemed very inviting but were told it was booked even though not full. Indoors, the restaurant was very loud so we waited outside about 25 minutes. We were seated indoors after reminding the hostess that we were still waiting. She could see us from her desk but I felt forgotten.
The food was excellent with gluten free calamari as the star. I had a wedge salad, no dairy, add shrimp. It came covered in blue cheese dressing so I had to send it back. It came quickly back but the shrimp were cold. The waitress did bring me some more shrimp without being asked.
My daughter had prime rib and it was just okay. A bit fatty and tough. Her sides were good. The kids had the little bento boxes which were very creative and fun, giving several choices. They are every bite.
We seemed to wait forever for water and were never asked about a drink refill. I know they were busy but staffing seemed scant.
A true heritage tradition in Bend, the Pines with it's two pine trees rising though the floor and ceiling, offers great food, superb service, and a relaxing atmosphere.
Our reservation was for 5:30 and the restaurant was already busy. We were quickly seated in the back overlooking the water.
Our waiter was a high energy person and was very attentive without making us feel hurried.
The steak fries and garlic fries appitizers were both great, although the steak fries would be my choice next time.
I had the pulled pork without the bun (gluten intolerance) and was offered seasonal vegetables ( superb green beans ) all of which were very tasty. My wife had the chicken Marsala which after I had a taste was a much better choice.
Our companions had the blackened rockcod and rib eye steak which they enjoyed.
The Pines has an excellent wine and beer list. Wine is offered by the bottle or glass.
All in all an excellent dinning experience.
If you have not been be sure to try it.
Really enjoyable! Great service, great food, great atmosphere. I got the white wine flight and yellowfin and couldn't have enjoyed it more. Great cook, seasoning and sides with the tuna..
My wife got the Risotto and, honestly, it tasted more like creamed corn than Italian risotto. Still tasted great, but by no means was it traditional.
Our group of 8 had a vegetarian, vegan, and several gluten free folks. Everyone left happy! They even had a separate gluten free menu, which we loved.
The only other note was that the room gets really loud and impossible to conversation at a table for 8. I think this atmosphere would make 900 perfect for a date, however.
We were passing through Bend looking for a dog friendly spot! What a find! The food was good, the portions great and price reasonable. We had the chicken caesar salad, burgers and the kids had the kids meal, chicken strips and fries. We have one gluten-free vegetarian diner who was accommodated and enjoyed their meal too.
Great vibes, great subs. Only gluten free options are salads — which are pretty small and sparse, but still tasty! :) You can tell they use good quality ingredients here.
Celiac friendly
