At first, as grabbing thr brochures on the table, i found a couple open and used sweetner packets and sticky grime on table and had to ask to get table wiped. I was told it was the last night shift. Anhow. Ordered the chicken fried steak breakfast, water and a mimosa. Potatoes, gravy, eggs, toast, jam and mimosa were good.

The overall experience was exactly what you’d expect from a healthy mcmenamins! High energy and happy waiters, very attentive and very helpful in deciding what to eat. Everything came relatively quickly and the food was really good. The fries are delicious and so we’re the Burgers. My wife enjoyed a trippy tiger as well which was a treat for her.
4 stars for the food is for the reason of quality control, after the pandemic they stopped making some things in house like the pretzel sticks, though they were delicious, mcmenamins is known for their great pretzels according to my wife so it’s suffice to say that was a bit unfortunate and we hope their standards are raised back to pre-covid.

Interesting place, and people love collecting their complete visits of all of their locations. They make it fun to be there with a wide range of novel themes and locations. This location has a secret entrance to a Speak Easy, and I won’t reveal the location.
They have their own brewery and the flight of beers we had were not outstanding, but there is a good variety.
The food was good, the Cajun spicing of fries and tots was really a nice addition.
It’s upwards of $20 to get a meal, but you’re paying for the place and atmosphere.

Really cool spot housed in a converted 1930s Catholic school building. McMenamins has done a nice job preserving the historic character while creating a comfortable bar and restaurant experience.
The atmosphere is definitely the highlight here – dining and drinking in former classrooms with original chalkboards and school features still intact. The McMenamins artwork throughout tells the story of the building and adds to the nostalgic feel without being overwhelming.
Food at Father Luke’s Room was solid Pacific Northwest fare with good variety. Nothing groundbreaking but well-prepared and reasonably priced. The beer selection features McMenamins’ house brews plus other local options.
The Principal’s Office bar is a fun novelty – having a drink in what used to be the actual principal’s office gives the place character you won’t find elsewhere. Service was friendly and knowledgeable about both the menu and the building’s history.
It’s worth a visit just for the unique setting. The food and drinks are good, but the converted school atmosphere is what makes this place memorable. Great spot if you’re looking for something a bit different in Bend.

Staff is super friendly and personable, and food has been great so far. Their seared ahi appetizer from the pub has been my favorite!

Food was pretty good, but service and atmosphere was amazing. We let our server surprise us. He brought the kamikaze tuna appetizer which was our favorite. The steelhead was top notch. Elk burger was delicious. Cajun Tots were a bit over-spriced.

Kind of a let down to be honest, we chose to spend our date night with mcminamins and got home honestly regretting it. It wasn’t any one thing just everything left me really wishing that I hadn’t gone. Its an expensive bill I spend 88 dollars for 2 but thats ok we had a drink, a side and an entree each. Spinach dip was great as always, the burgers came and it really went down hill. My girlfriends burger had grilled onions on it, we found that the onions were burned badly, but who doesnt like some charcoal crunch we wrote it off as a busy night in the kitchen. The waitress was nice and friendly no problems with her, but the kitchen mixed up my girlfriends and I’s order im not picky but she is so it was a little stressful to have them take it back, play the shell game with out burgers then bring them back in the correct combination. But it went really south after starting to eat, she was mildly unenthusiastic with her offering, but about half way through I had to stop, settle my bill and leave, holding back puke we cut it short. I’m not sure what it was but that food made me so nauseous. It looked cooked right, smelled right tasted fine, but it was not sitting right. I’m still chalking it up to a bad night but I wont be in any hurry to return. They sadly almost got their burger back, just wish I could get my money back.

After a lively night at a concert, our group of six wandered into McMenamins in Bend without reservations, hungry, loud, and, if we’re being honest, a little over-enthusiastic from the evening’s “adult beverages.” We were fully prepared for a wait or for chaos, but instead, we were met with one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in a long time.
Our server, Raven, was nothing short of incredible. She welcomed us with an easy smile and an unshakable calm, even as we rattled off orders full of modifications and last-minute changes. She handled each request without missing a beat, making us feel like valued guests instead of a post-concert inconvenience. Her timing, attentiveness, and humor were exactly what our rowdy group needed.
The food arrived faster than expected, and impressively, all at the same time. The two pizzas were hot, perfectly baked, and generously topped. The burgers were cooked to perfection, juicy and full of flavor, with fries that were crisp and golden. The pretzels with cheese were warm and soft, with a rich, savory dip that disappeared quickly from the table. The fish and chips were fresh, flaky, and piping hot, while the salad was crisp, colorful, and clearly freshly prepared. Every plate was spot-on in temperature and presentation, which is no small feat for such a varied order.
By the end of the meal, every one of us was beyond satisfied, not just with the food, but with the atmosphere, the friendship, and of course the outstanding service. Raven’s professionalism and personality elevated the entire evening, turning what could have been a late-night scramble into a perfect ending to our night, and she even took time to take our picture..
If you’re in Bend, on a Bender like us post-concert, or just passing through, McMenamins is worth a stop. And if you’re lucky enough to have Raven as your server, you’re in for a treat.

Small portions. Vanilla Bean French Toast $13. No vanilla taste and the portions were two pieces of thin sandwich bread. Mentioned it to the waitress who said several other people have had similar remarks. This is totally overcharging. The looked good but lacked substance and only had about 8 French fries on the plate. The biscuits and gravy were delicious and so was the half cesar salad with grilled chicken. The soft drinks were not refilled and the place wasn’t that busy. I expected more out of McMenamins. We were really disappointed after driving 3 hours for the experience. I will probably return as a hotel guest for a better experience. A lot of features were not available to non hotel guests.
