Decoy – Bend Oregon

Upon my first visit to the Decoy Bar and Grill I was not that impressed with the “club” sandwich that I was served. But I wanted to go back and sample something else on the menu. There have been a couple favorable reviews from trusted sources but I have received some mixed responses via email and amongst friends.

Recently, the wife and I made it downtown for some lunch at Decoy. She was excited since it was going to be her first time eating there. After reading through the lunch menu we thought we’d start off with the wings. For $9.95 we received some tasty wings in a mild sweet chili sauce. All 6 of them. 6 drumettes for $10. That’s $1.66 a wing. They were pretty good but not anywhere near $10 for 6 wings good.

The wife decided on the Ruben and potato salad. Her sandwich was piled high with corned beef and sauerkraut. The sandwich was big and falling off the plate. She also got a healthy scoop of potato salad that was very good. It was also $10.

How can 6 drumettes sauced with the same sweet chili sauce I have in my fridge cost the same as a Ruben and salad? What am I missing here?

Good ol’ Hack Bend has his favorable review of Decoy on his site and based off his recommendation, I decided to try the burger.

Hand pressed patty on two thick slices of sour dough with the traditional fixins and accompanied with fries for $12. The burger was juicy and messy. I was actually quite pleased with it and the fries. The fries were pretty good unlike the first go around.

My photos did not turn out very well so I’ll not post them. All in all I enjoyed the meal but found the prices to be off.
