Amazing breakfast and brunch! Expect a wait- this is an iconic breakfast spot that is a converted house, and there is minimal seating, even with outdoor seating. The wait is usually long, but the food is worth it! I recommend the Sampson- crab cake with poached eggs and focaccia. You can't go wrong!

Another staple in Bend. Some of the best (and most) food you will ever eat. Make sure to go to the PUBLIC house, not the ale house, because the public house is better. The restaurant is a converted house so it can definitely be noisy when crowded. Tons of beers on tap and awesome specials if you are feeling adventurous. If not, the best staples are the mac and cheese, the buffalo mac and cheese, and the artichoke dip.
