Deschutes Brewery Review

An awesome brewery with amazing staff! The burgers are fantastic and the fries are just as awesome! The beer is amazing!

Good atmosphere and great beer! I'll give the overall experience 4 but I think the food is 3.5. They have some consistency issues but overall enjoyable experience.

Worth the trip to Oregon Wish there was more of it in Michigan Fabulous staff beer and food too!

Outstanding food. Loved the tasting flight. Really great service. We'll be back

Excellent beer stop. Did the tour at the main brewery as well. Pretzel app was awesome.

Due to corona I would highly recommend making reservations. We saw that note on the website and made a reservation so we got right in while others had to wait outside. The food was so good and not just the normal pub food. Everyone was very friendly and it was overall a great experience!

Waited an hour for our food, burger was overcooked, disintegrating taco shells, full of soggybread French onion soup and a whole table behind me ranting the blandness of various dishes. For all the talk up, my girlfriend and I were excited for a great meal from this highly recommended establishment to be so disappointed that from at a glimpse looked like a great composed looking line only to uphold such low standards. #deshutesbreweryneedsgordanramsey #getittogether #atleastthebeersgood

Food was ok, good sized portions but way over priced. The beer was ok. Serving staff was excellent, met all our needs and then some. Came away broke though so probably won't be going back.

Great brews, with location specific tap choices (it's always nice to have something new from the ol' Deschutes Brewery!). In general, great food and service. Tourist season is wild, so be ready to wait for a table.

Good news for vegans: they have a pretty good variety of options. But look no further than the carrot quinoa burger. Best option I've seen. :)

Great food and service each time we come. Big fan of the Elk Burger and the beer and whiskey is a must. Highly recommended!

Great chicken sandwich! Love the pickles and the reliably good beer.

Can t go wrong with Deschutes, the O.G. of breweries that set the bar for all the rest.

Good and service were excellent after a short wait on a very busy night.

Seriously Deschutes? A la carte French fries???!!! Burger on the menu is $13 (normal pub burger) tab comes and fries are an extra $4. Who orders a burger without French fries. Put it on the freaking menu! I understand a covid tax but im disappointed. Your food is on par with the rest of Bend but no longer head and shoulders above

Wow, very amazing Elk burger, love the seasoned fries and homemade ranch!!! Have to stop by if you are in the neighbourhood!!!

Ok food. Ok service. Unfriendly waitress. Great beer. Long wait. Wouldn't go again. Average overall experience.

Bartender was super friendly and gave us some great recommendations. The "hop trip" was delicious!

Beer was awesome even though it was clear that there were soap bubbles still in the glass. That's saying something haha! There was a nice menu selection, but the elk burger I ordered was so overly dry, ordered it medium well, and it was slightly burnt on the outside. Recommend for the beer and hopefully I have a non soapy glass next time.

Fantastic place with great pub food choices and great beer of course. On a Friday night, we only had to wait 20 minutes. The bacon and roasted corn chowder was to die for!

I honestly miss their old menu. The new options are very strange. For instance, they put cinnamon in the batter for the fried chicken sandwich, and pineapple and cilantro with the calamari. I get that they want to be more "artisan," but it's still a pub, and I feel like they should have more classic, pub food options.

The beer is still great though!

Just went here for the first time today. They had great service, great food, and great beer. I would recommend this place to any level of beer connoisseur.

Can't say enough good about Deschutes Brewery. Amazing cask aged beer and delicious food. The staff are attentive and friendly. One of the best places in town.

Great food, great service, and great beer. What more can you ask for? They do have a hard cider and a wine selection for those of us non beer drinkers. Get the pretzel appetizer. Delicious!

Best beer in town. Locally owned and operated. Great food and atmosphere. Conveniently located in downtown Bend.

Alright so its wasnt good. But it wasnt terrible.

Fries were too salty. I have salt at the table. Common sense.

The double cheeseburger was bland, nothing that makes it "special". But the meat was a little off and they should check that out.

Steak sandwich. The steak and cheese? Great. The sauce and peppers on the sandwich? Great. Put together? No. The tastes dont mix. Its trippy. Not bad. But trippy.

If I knew how to properly eat the sausage plate too would've been nice. Its sloppy. Plus. Why only 1 sausage? For 11 dollars give me some more, man.

To be fair it's a 5/10. I just added 3 out of 5 as a gesture of kindness.

Beer is good.

For $20 each, the food better be darn good... and it was just OK.

The elk burger was cooked a perfect medium rare, stll juicy. The calamari was a perfectt portion, sweet and spicy. The pollo asada salad was yummy I love it. We are definitely are coming back and our server Peter was very awesome very friendly keep up the good work peter!

Your typical Public House -- service is what I took most away from it. Absolutely incredible server who recommended places to drink & eat in the area!

Excellent beer, great service, unbeatable Nachos! They were loaded from first chip to last! Really pleased with my visit.

Service was awful. Server rushed us to order, never checked on how our food was and never refilled our water. If the beer wasn't so good, I would not return.

Had a good time before the Eclipse and for a friend's birthday. Fun beers that played on the Eclipse theme.

Love the cask condition hand drawn ales, had the veggie burger which was very flavorful

Amazing beer and even better service!!! Don't cheat your self by not stopping by

Don't bother with doing the tour on the weekend. Nothing is happening...

Got in right before the crowd hit. Was surprised how good the food was. The pulled pork sandwich was pretty meh but the burger special was delicious! The patty was made of ground beef & ground bacon so of course it was going to be good. They had good tarter to dip my fries in, otherwise the fries were pretty dry. Good cold beer. Not sure I d come here again next I m in Bend, but I m glad I tried it out.

Good beer and a fun atmosphere. Could have a bit more ire advanced menu

We stopped by Labor Day weekend so it was pretty busy, but went straight to the bar and got served quickly there. Beer was great, there are so many to choose from including my favorite Belgium style ales! Food came out really fast, it's pretty usual fare but tasty enough. We had a salads but the highlight was beer :-)

Food is awesome, I strongly recommend the beer cheese and pretzels, as an appetizer, pretzels super fresh and soft, covered in everything seeds., service wonderful

Been itching to come to Bend since falling in love with Deschutes brews six years ago. My wife and I stopped by in the afternoon on a Sunday and there was a decent crowd, it was great to try some beers that they don't can/bottle. Staff was very friendly and helpful with our questions, ended up going to the full scale brewery and tasting room for a tour the following day.

Old school amazingness! Gary Fish is the Godfather of craft!

Great service in the bar area barkeep was on top of everything. Had the Nashville Hot Chicken sandwich. It lacks heat up front, but by the time you work your way through, it starts to hit you. Excellent other than missing some more heat, but that s my preference. I asked about hats and was told to hit up the main brewery spot less than a mile away. I did and got a super simple hat for $10. All around good stuff and great folks.

Still impressed by the food here. They usually have the best fish in town, and at a price $5-7 less than the some of the "fancier" restaurants. Overall, they are in the thick of the competition for the best food around.

Great, great food for a brewery! And beer goes without saying!

I came from Florida to come to this brewery with high expectations of their beer and it met it. It was a cool environment with great service and good people hanging out. Well worth the trip.

Sean the bartender always make me feel welcome. He has great customer service!

This brewery is on my all time list for a couple of reasons, just absolute premium craft beer & chill atmosphere. When in Bend.

We were sat really quickly even though it right near the Bend Marathon events. Good atmosphere for the fam and good food/drinks

Girls night out was a blast as it started with awesome customer service, which often times make the quality of the food and overall dining restaurant. The waitress was alive, bubbly, friendly. She was happy to answer any and all questions regarding menu items. I ordered the Pollo Asado Salad. Chicken was cooked to perfection, the salad was seasoned just right with the avocado vinaigrette. I stole a fry from a friend's plate and was pleased with the flavor and consistency. I will definitely be back!

Awesome waitress. Excellent Mac and cheese. Kids loved the cheese pizza. Hubby enjoyed the food too. Yummo!! Enjoyed a sampler tray of beer!!!

Excellent burgers and beer. They have very ornate growlers for sale that will make all of your friends jealous.

Excellent food and drinks in a comfortable environment

What did I like about it??? Hell, yall should be asking me what I didn't like. Wich was nothing.

Absolutely awesome food, beer, and service even when they're packed. I've made special trips from Seattle just to come here. Great value too!

Since the time I wanted to go! Just perfect ! Service, beers and food

Great food, cool exclusive beers and a nice place to relax and hang out.

Great beer, good food and service. Super comfortable place to hang out.

Amazing atmosphere, and good beer make for an excellent experience.

Great beer and food. The tall, blond server (Charlie) is soooooo cute

Great beer, menu & service...the wild salmon is delicious!

Great beers, good food although limited selection, friendly staff, nice atmosphere especially given we were there around 3pm on a Sunday summer afternoon. **Update: originally a 5 star review but after an awful late night/early morning on the toliet and my wife's innards churning and Deschutes was the only place we ate at that day we were served something bad. We had different beers and different food but each of us did have a side salad although with different dressing. I'll still buy their beers from a store but can not recommend their public house.

Went last night. It was my 3rd or 4th time at the public house. My experience last night was pretty poor from start to finish.
- when my girl and I arrived, we were happy to see open tables all around us. Turns out they had a 2-3 minute wait. Well that 2-3 min turned out to be 10. This would not have been a huge deal but my girl has a broken ankle and was on her knee scooter. Not once did they offer a chair or anything like that. Surely not required but it would have been courteous
- after being seated, the water was brought and about 10-15 minutes passed. A waiter walks by and says have you guys been helped . Nope we haven t. He took our order
- we got our beers and food. Burger was red inside (all the way through) and was supposed to be medium well, ordered ketchup with the meal, however we did not receive any. When I flagged he waiter and said we would like some ketchup, he brought a small container. I just handed it my lady and didn t bother
- halfway through the meal, both beer and water were gone. Not once did anyone stop to ask if we needed anything else. (My intent was have a couple more)
- the next waiter that checked on us was about 20 minutes after we were done eating. Just to bring the check. Never asked if we need anything else

All in all, the beer was good but the service was shotty. They were pretty well staffed too so their is no understaffed excuse. I will buy Deschutes beer but I will not be back there.

Beer is all IPA with very few exceptions. Bartenders and servers rude and annoyed, like they re doing you a favor. They don t say thank you, dont explain options, etc etc.
Nice couple of rooms but bad atmosphere.

Nice brewery with typical offer.
When we arrived we would have to wait because there is a lot going on at the weekend. The atmosphere is great and fitting. However, it is a bit noisy.
The service was quick and attentive. A refill was only offered towards the end, only shortly before payment.
Otherwise the service was great!
The dishes were good and tasty.
It is good that a side salad can be ordered with the burger instead of fries.
With the Elke Burger, you can easily choose a higher cooking level (e.g.
Medium-Well instead of medium) because the meat's own taste is very intense.
This brewery was the best of the three visited. Bridgeport and Fat Head were similar, but somewhat after the Deschutes Brewery.
