What happened!? This place used to have the best fried chicken in Bend. The choice to go from tender chunks of chicken to dried out strips was a terrible one.

Great food, cool location, a great little unexpected find for lunch! The chicken fingers were super crispy on the outside, tender and juicy and piping hot inside. Fries are cut wide and thin- fantastic! Buffalo sauce had just the right kick! A great place, good value for the quality of the food- come check them out!

Son and I stopped by early summer and the fish tacos were fantastic and so was the chicken sandwich, really great. Went again yesterday and not good at all. Fish was tasteless and pasty and the corn tortillas were not steamed or grilled! Just cold right out of the package…. Would have cost nothing to heat them up…instead they were dry and crumbly…. I eat fish tacos wherever I go, NEVER have I been served dry cold crumbly tortillas! Huge mistake by the cook…and apparently this is now normal here according to other reviews. My wife ordered the chicken fingers and they were over fried and dry. Really disappointed in our experience and I so very much hope this truck goes back to the way they were operating last spring. The previous fish tacos I had were amazing and I wouldn’t usually ever leave a review like this but this food truck produced really great food and they need to return to that. Repeat customers are the lifeblood of your business.

Food sucks. Overly oily deep fried trash. Over breaded doughy fish and chips. Cole slaw is watered down grossness. 1/10 spend your money somewhere else.

This used to be my go to whenever we went to the lot - which was a lot. However, the menu changed a while ago from nuggets to strips and sauce on the side. I went back yesterday and it's still the same - overcooked strips with a crust that cut up my mouth and sauce on the side. Please bring back the recipe from 3'ish years ago. I would come often if you did. The way it is now is just not good.

Sometimes you get lucky and come across a joint that just gets it right. This place is one of those joints. I usually get the chicken but tried the fish and chip platter this time. Fries were perfect and the fish was perfectly cooked, seasoned just right. Could barely finish the whole thing. Better than some places I've been to on the coast.

The chicken was barely edible and way over cooked and dry. I would not recommend eating here ever! Most of the chicken strips couldn’t even be bitten into they were so hard and overcooked.

Best chicken sandwich of my entire life! Got it with buffalo and ranch sauce, crispy pickle lettuce and the chicken was next level, most amazing crunch fresh and hot delicious with the best style of bun that was soft and baked but not too bready. Seriously most orgazmic chicken sandwich of my life.do yourself right and get one of these as soon as you can!

The owner is a real tool. Condescending and rude. The food is just ok. Nothing to write home about.

Love this place! Gluten-free Fish & Chips are my go-to. Haven't had Fried Fish in years before finding your Food Truck but this place does it right. The young man who was working remembered me from last summer as I came in at least once a week. The plating is completely different from last summer but it is so much better. Crunchy cabbage slaw and hot fries. Love coming here when I am in town during the summer.

Great spot! Order some Chicken and waffles, and grab a beer behind the bus while you wait. Can’t go wrong.
Nice and crispy chicken, delicious waffles. Dude in the bus knows what he’s doing.

The chicken fingers were edible but obviously over fried. The people sitting next to me got their order after me and thiers looked even darker in color than mine was. The sweet honey mustard dipping sauce was pretty good and honestly necessary. I didn't care much for the ranch sauce tho.
Id rather have most gas station fried chicken, WAY less expensive and not any worse tasting.
Won't plan on eating here again and won't be recommending this place to any one.

Very sad! This was my fav fish taco of all time. It is completely different. I’ve tried twice since the change and I’m just left wanting the old way! Please bring back the original fish tacos!

Tried again, and absolutely inedible.
Fish is different.small.and breading is different. That wouldn’t be ao bad but the taco shells weren’t just breaking apart but so hard we couldn’t eat them at all. Very sad.
Stale, all cabbage and very little sauce.

This was my fav.place to go in bend for years, now I won’t be back.

We were excited to try the chicken n waffles. If you like to scratch your mouth up with over fried chicken be my guest. The bus was cool though!

10/10! Highly recommend this little truck if you’re in the area. The chicken tenders were incredibly crispy and so so juicy and flavorful. I will absolutely be going back here next time I’m in Bend!

Keeping it four stars because I used to love this place, but they’ve changed their sandwich! Last time I went they no longer had the Po boy style chicken sandwich. It was smaller, they changed the bread, it was just one large piece of chicken which took away from the crispiness and flavors of the meat, and they also don’t give you a side of chips anymore (while the price is the same.)

I really hope to see the po boy sandwich make a comeback, it was the best!

This is a very cute old double decker bus converted into a food cart. The service was okay and the food was okay. The batter was a bit overdone and hard to eat. Overall I would say it's just okay. Very cute though I wish the food had been a little better.

Fresh, hot, and crispy! 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking for a convenient and delicious chicken strips. Lots of great sauce options. We tried spicy Thai and honey mustard - both tasty. Convenient outdoor seating: covered + heated, uncovered benches, and table top fire pit seating available.

Used to love it. First service went down hill then chicken change. Tried new stuff twice not going back.
