The inside has been brought back to life and better than ever. Since we learned bent shovel reopened the inside, we have been there 4 times in two weeks! We love this pace and the team who runs it. The pizza is delicious and so is the beer. We have tried a different pizza each time. Never disappointed. Come check out the pizza and great company!

As others note, it is just a weekend beer garden and a couple small food vendors. No longer the full restaurant. But don’t pass this up, if you find yourself out cruising this scenic road! We stopped on a Sunday afternoon: the atmosphere was lively yet relaxed; the beer was good (recommend the dark lager!); there were games; everyone was friendly. A great place to plan a pitstop or intentional time with friends.

We used to love this place, but the owner Rick was so rude to us on our last visit that we’ll never be back. His attitude seemed to come naturally, so I’m sure other customers have experienced it too. The cherry on top of waiting 70 minutes for a pizza was Rick (probably intentionally) burning it. If you hate people, get out of the hospitality business. Shame because his wife Shelly is so nice.

Only pizza. Only you don’t know that it’s only pizza till after you decide what you would like from their online menu. Which is not current as of 11.29.2025 which the gentleman was like” I don’t know where you saw that menu at but that’s not our menu for 5years. ” no QR code to scan when you first come in, all that’s said is to order at bar. So if there’s a line you don’t know what you want to you get to the bar. Very confusing for the guest time here. We will have to come back when we don’t have a full crowd with us. They can only cook two 12inch pizzas at a time. So not great if you have a big crowd that’s hungry. The pool tables are decent for the teens. Looks like they have love music some nights.

This beer garden is tempting to pull into, do it! The beer is great the people are friendly and the view is insane. Very relaxing spot to enjoy a pint after a hike or fishing.

This place has so much potential. The food and service were ok. They have a great outdoor seating area but have a limited menu that you can get out there. If you want something more you have to call the restaurant 50 yards away and order your food to go. If they had full service outside and worked on the quality of their food this could be a 5 star establishment.

Great bicycling destination from Portland, only 3 hours by road. Nice place to relax for a tribe of recumbent riders, fantastic food, great beers and a flair for all things country. BIKE/TRIKE WARNING: Watch out for road raging redneck hillbillies on some of the backroads getting here, they like beer, big trucks and saying stupid shit as they angrily drive around bicyclers. Ignore them.

Bent Shovel is a local brewery serving up amazing beer and legit pizza in the beer garden. Sit around the fire and have a chat with a stranger. Drink beer and linger.

Gorgeous viewpoint. Beer garden closed early. Bar/food service was slow. Food was mediocre, ordered burger and cajun tots. It didnt seem too busy. But maybe they were short staffed.
