Welcome to The Lot, the original food cart pod, in Bend, Oregon. Established in 2013, we took the food cart pod concept to a whole new level by designing a space for a group of food carts to gather together around a central seating area. We wanted to create an inviting atmosphere for food truck truck fans to eat their delicious street food. Integrating a taproom added the option of enjoying local pints with the food cart pod experience. This was a new concept at the time and obviously well received by the Bend community. You can now search out food cart pods all over Central Oregon, each one with their own unique vibe. The Lot has four food carts/trucks to choose from, providing customers with a variety of options to satisfy their street food cravings.  The covered open-air seating area has a clean modern feel with built-in tables and gas fire element. The taproom serves beer, cider, kombucha, CBD, hard seltzer and wine. The 16 tap handles rotate, giving a wide variety of local and regional pints to try. 

The experience of our eating area changes with the seasons.  In summer, feel the breeze flow through the open garage doors as you sip on a cool frothy beverage.  As the colder weather sets in, we enclose the seating area and the heaters and HEATED BENCHES crank up. Though you may have arrived in your puffy down jacket, be ready to strip it off, as it stays toasty in here all winter long.  The Lot is family friendly and dog friendly.  It is a place for the community to come as they are. You can meet up with friends and family or dine on your own.  A great place to people watch or run into people you know.   We are open seven days a week for lunch and dinner.  Thank you for supporting our local small businesses.
