Wow! We found a goldmine when we decided to eat at Brother Jon's. Great little bungalow converted to a bar and restaurant. Everything is house made including our salad dressings. The house salad and pretzel with habanero cheese and stone ground mustard was delish! And then the house smoked meat on our French dip and Cheesesteak was melt in your mouth, slap your momma good. We also tried the loaded potato soup and hand cut fries and were delighted. I love a good sturdy, well seasoned cup of aus jus and this was truly one of the best. I could hardly wait to write their review. There is limited parking but a lot of on street parking in a walkable neighborhood with a lot of restaurants and people eating at outside garden tables. A true gem in Bend.

One of the great local Bend spots! It was packed shoulder to shoulder on our most recent visit. Luckily enough a few minutes after we put our name on the list, a couple spots opened up at the bar. Shane took good care of us during our time.We were planning to visit to try a few specific menu items but came to find out that they now have a reduced/limited menu. Still plenty of good options. They are known for their Mac n Cheese, so we had to order it as a side. The mac was bomb. Definitely homemade. Gotta love it. We also tried the Pepper Steak and the Bro Jos Burger. Both are packed with great flavor and have you coming back for bite after bite.We can see why this is a popular local spot. Give em a visit!

1st time dining here, stopped by on a friend's recommendation and we were not disappointed! We enjoyed hot wings for an appetizer. I had the Ranch Chicken and Avocado sandwich it was delicious!! My companion enjoyed a burger with bbq sauce and bacon.. he loved it! We for sure will dine here again..Honorable mention, the cocktails we tried were very good!

My wife and I ordered some takeout dinners, and while the indoor seating was full and the crew was very busy, our dinners were ready to go. We shared a steak salad, and a steak sandwich (but this NOT a Philly cheese steak sandwich), this was had real slices of steak, two different cheeses and caramelized onions on a Sparrow bun. We couldn't have been happier.

This is a house converted to a funky restaurant with a very nice vibe. We (3 of us) had a late lunch and even though it was afternoon the place was quite busy. The BLT and Club Sandwiches were very nice and generous enough to save half for the next day. The chicken quesadilla was also nicely done and generous enough to save for another meal the next day, Very enjoyable place.

The food was outstanding and the service was too. We had the pastrami sandwich and the steak salad and they were both delicious. The server was very friendly and we had a nice chat. It was a very nice experience!

Really great food. Unexpected from the outside. Delicious food, warm and inviting. Pretzels was soft, flakey and amazing. Veggie bomb burger and chicken avocado ranch sandwich are also highly recommended. Bartender/Waitress was very friendly and went above and beyond. I would recommend this place to anyone visiting Bend.

Unreal good. Best casual dining in Bend for sure. Sandwiches, burgers, fries, salads, specials, beers and wines all incredible and I’ve tried almost all of them. Great atmosphere to enjoy a great meal.

This was my first trip to Bend and I started for looking for an original "Bend" spot and was going to hit the Deschutes Brewery, but parking within blocks was a pain. A friend said, check out 10 Barrel, so I had to roll around the block and spotted a Bend spot. Brother Jon's looked like just the place for the original Bend experience.DO NOT MISS BROTHER JON'S!The staff...welcoming, attentive, and helpful with suggestions.Jack Sparrow Sandwich was meaty with a little pineapple to keep it juicy, but not messy. Handcut fries with BOMB Sauce (B.S.) perfect together and get a side of B.S. to dip Jack Sparrow in for a bit of a kick. Beer was good, Margaritas were better! Fresh pressed juice for the Margaritas was awesome! I had to go back to try something else, it was going to be a burger, but opted for the Cajun Chicken and Sausage over penne. This dish, as it should have been, was spicy, I like sauce and it could have used a bit more with a side of bread, but hey, I'd order it again in a second! Lastly, bc I was sitting at the bar I had a great vantage point to watch the crew work and they worked together well, smooth operation. Props to servers 1st trip James, 2nd trip Dana??????

Just had the Jack Sparrow with a side baked potato soup. Fantastic food and wonderful service. One of my favorite restaurants in Bend Oregon!
