Amazing food and staff were friendly & knowledgeable about celiac/gluten free precautions needed. I was told the owners have celiac which made me feel extra safe eating here.
Highly recommend the bbq shrimp and espresso martini (one of the best I've had!)
Drive 75 miles out of our way so my wife can enjoy a draft gluten free beer and they are out of it!! This is a frickin brewery... Could at least have a can available when they forget to brew. Very disappointing, long trip☹️
by far the best non-dairy ice cream ive ever had. the mayan chocolate, lavender and lemon sorbetto are delectable. staff extra friendly and catered to gluten free needs as well. would recommend to anyone who likes treating their tastebuds to a scoop of heaven!
Wow what can I say… hit every note of the flavors of Korean food in a fine dining manner. Nothing was over done portions were decent and prices were great! Also LOVED that it was all gluten free minus 2 items on the menu. It very well done!!
Cute cupcake shop with pink door. Several gluten free and vegan options.
Small with four chairs and three tables inside and two tables and six chairs outside.
The menu was kind of small, there aren't many gluten free/vegetarian options. We had a dish that was a plate to share and the bowls they served it with were very small. We didn't get much tofu with the dish and it seemed like it was mostly basil leaves. The lemongrass was woody and we didn't find the dish worth taking in a Togo box. I also had the Thai tonic, the flavors worked well together and it was strong. The inside of the restaurant was a small and the dried roses hanging from the ceiling were pretty. The music and decor gave it an authentic feel.
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!
We ordered the maple cinnamon roll, blackberry scone and gluten free veggie frittata. All delicious. The atmosphere is cozy and colorful and you’re surrounded by gorgeous stained glass window art pieces and paintings that are for sale. A must stop 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.
From the moment I walked in I was first blown away by the amazing customer service I received. Then I ordered my food to go and when I got home with my order that was recommended to me because I have to have gluten free I was blown away first by the amount of food. Then I tasted that garlic and black pepper banger and mash and I am hooked!!! It will be at least two nights of dinner for me. But oh my goodness was it delicious!!! The hostess that recommended it couldn’t have been more right if she tried!!! I am so grateful to her.
Gluten free/ vegan friendly!!
Had a nice dinner out with a friend. We made a reservation 5 days ahead to make sure we could get a table
Their menu was very very GF friendly. They are have a fun cocktail list but it was much smaller than we thought it would be considering we heard they were the go to place for cocktails.
*Dishes we tried were delicious!
*Service was ok.... not great really slow and they seemed a bit understaffed. The people were nice just very very slow.
*Bathroom situation was a bit odd... you have to leave the restaurant go into the hotel and then down an elevator to another floor and around a corner to the bathroom. If your dinning with children it's a trick.
Overall would definitely go back again.
I haven't been in years and it was great today. They have vegan gluten free pastries. The espresso was very good. The half shade, half sun back lawn on the Deschutes River is great. Ample seating. ADA, kid, and dog friendly (though we did not use a restroom so cannot speak to that). I will be bringing my young child there over and over. Order at the window then walk inside for a seat or walk through the building to go down the steps to the back, or you can go down the side path outside to the left to go to the back with any wheeled personal transportation devices like strollers or wheel chairs.
Sloooow service on Sunday brunch. I think they're short staffed. Food was just fine but there's better all around. I appreciated there are several gluten free options. Nice vibes if the weather is good.
We went here for pizza this last weekend, when we were visiting the area. We had pizza at one other place while we were there, and this blew that went out of the water. We have to eat gluten-free due to allergies. Most gluten-free crust served at restaurants is really crack or crust or, at best, flat bread. this was soft with a slight chew to it, as a good pizza crush should have. I would have liked some air bubbles, but that's something I've only found in one place in all the Pacific Northwest.
We sat outside, as we had our putz with us. As it was dark, it was a little chilly until they lit the fireplace. Even with the fireplace on, the patio is rather large, and I do think they need to add some more gas heaters on the outer edges. The fireplace really only keeps you warm if you're within 6 inches to ten inches. The server was attentive and friendly. We didn't wait long for our order once it was in. We shared a large house house salad. My husband, who hates vinegarats, actually liked the one that was on this salad. It was spring. Mix lettuce with current shreds and nothing more. I don't know if there's normally croutons on it, and they left them out because of the gluten allergy, but it was just lettuce and carrot shreds for us.
The parking lot is tiny, and only one direction. There is street parking. You may have to walk a couple of blocks. There are a lot of restaurants on the street, making it a popular destination. When we first arrived, we were told It would be a thirty minute wait. We decided to start walking down the street for a few minutes. They said they had a cancelation, so they told us we were able to be seated within 2 minutes. We know now to expect a thirty minute wait in the future.
We really enjoyed the food. I highly recommend the house made pork. The sweet heat was a perfect balance of spicy, pickled peppers and sweet, tender house mate pork.
I would highly recommend, if you were going to eat here in the evening...even during the warmer months, bring a blanket and a jacket. My only disappointment was that there was no cider available. It worked out because I had a very good Ginger campucha, served in the bottle, with a glass of ice. It is made by a company that gives part of their proceeds to help the less fortunate.
I definitely recommend eating here if you are gluten intolerant. I had no reaction, and I am rather sensitive to cross contamination. Repeat that it's cooked and served on a metal Pan. Which helps eliminate that. Even if you don't have food allergies, the place is very popular, which tells you a lot. If you don't want pizza, they also have gluten-free buns.
Our first visit was really good. 4 of us enjoyed some appetizers and a variety of drinks including non-alcoholic cocktails, real cocktails, and wine and we were really impressed with everything. We weren't as impressed with our entrees, especially my husband's which was a perfectly cooked fish but had no sides. He didn't realize that and didn't want to order anything once we'd already received our food. We followed dinner with dessert which again was very impressive like the start of our meal.
Half our party is gluten free and one person lactose free and there were many options for everyone.

I love Thump coffee. The Baristas are always friendly and go out of their way to give you a great coffee drink. I also appreciate that they offer really tasty gluten free pastries.
Great Harvest has the BEST gluten free bread - and even has two choices! Their sourdough bread is also very good, as well as all their baked treats and everything else they offer. But the bread is the best!!
Super cool place! Looks small from the outside but has a generous amount of seating inside. Service was quick and everyone was friendly. Unique menu with great gluten free options. Would definitely stop in here again!
I love this restaurant. The food and drinks especially the morning cocktails are exceptional. The staff and waitresses were so sweet and attentive, patient with a smile. High recommend the food here, perfectly cooked scallops, shrimp and lobster on an eggs Benedict with morel mushrooms absolutely made my day. Gluten free options available and made to request. I waited over 38 years to finally visit this restaurant even though I knew it had a great reputation but now it's apart of life forever.
The food was amazing and everything could be made gluten free. I loved my kale and sausage pasta dish and wished I went with friends to split more dishes but I was traveling alone. The bartenders were friendly and the ambiance wa nice.
They can make almost everything Gluten Free. Food is tasty. Spice level 4 is my fav for most things has the heat and spicy long finish. Those that don’t do hot sauce or sriracha may want level 3 or less.
Goto’s for us:
Cashew chicken.
Phat Thai/ pad thai
Drunken Noodles.
Pumpkin Curry (when they have it).
Chicken Curry.
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.
Absolutely freaking amazing. Food was sooooo good! We tried there cauliflower appetizer, pad see ew, a curry dish, and their already made curry lazy pot -- which was my favorite (think nostalgic chicken ramen flavor but a hundred timers better)
Chris, our server, was very on top of things and helped me with my gluten free needs. Great ambience.
Jeff took care of our large party. That guy don't mess around. He knew the menu amd the beer list very well making ordering very easy. They have gluten free options and they have adult food too.
One of the best sandwich places I’ve been to, I got the BLT and Classic grilled cheese with tomatoes and both were amazing. Would highly recommend! Also have some gluten free options.
They were very accommodating to celiac/gluten free needs and took appropriate precautions. I got the gluten free roasted turkey sandwich and it was delicious!! Highly recommend
Of note, the round bread in the picture is the gluten free bread they use for visual reference
I’m gluten free (celiac) and had a great meal here. There were lot’s of gluten free options, nothing is marked gluten free on the menu but our server was very knowledgeable about what was safe and what the potential for cross contamination was. I had the chicken paella and the bistro steak.
HIGHLY recommend!! Their biscuits and gravy, and breakfast tostadas are amazing! The portions are great. So happy they had gluten free options along with their vegan food! We'll definitely be back.
Loved the carne asado burrito. I’m gluten free and dairy free. They were very accommodating and left off the cheese and flour tortilla. Put it in a container for me and we’re so kind about it! Fantastic service! I’ll definite go again when I’m back in town.
Went here to celebrate our anniversary & while our server wasn’t the friendliest, their authentic Italian food made up for it. Everything we tried was phenomenal, especially the meatballs! Also, the ciabatta bread is made with Italian flour and didn’t hurt my gluten sensitive stomach. Win-Win!Trattoria Sbandati is probably our fav Italian restaurant splurge in Bend.
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...
Really yummy date smoothie. It tasted like a milkshake! Very knowledgeable about ingredients. Lots of gluten free and soy free options. Super friendly staff. I will definitely return next time I'm in Bend!
This place was the HIGHLIGHT of our trip to bend! Delicious golden milk and gluten-free/vegan seed bread…YUM. Great atmosphere to pull out a book or work. Also, a really lovely view of the river. It’s the top of our list for when we return to bend. 💚
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.
Consistently fresh fish and wonderful roll combos - some options of gluten free including tamari - they are always friendly and the service is great but it is the very fresh fish that keeps me coming back - best sushi in Central Oregon!
This place is an absolute Gem! Great food, reasonable cost, quick meal. My son and I tried this place, he's gluten intolerant, so eating out is kind of a pain... Not here! Plenty to choose from, and my son said it was the best fajitas he's ever had. I ate some of his, and I would agree with that statement. I went with the Super Burrito, also fantastic! The prices were very good I thought, compared to all the inflated prices in Bend, this place has some good value. The quantity was reasonable. Everything about this place was great. Thanks Super Burrito for the great meal, we'll be back very soon!
Amazing sandwiches just behind the main downtown street, and overlooking the river. Highly recommended to take just half a sandwich as they are huge. Instead use the rest of your sandwich money on a pint of beer from one of the many great breweries on tap. And don't forget the weekly pint specials are very inexpensive. Have (huge) salads too for the gluten free person in your party.
