I was in town attending to an ailing family member who was recently placed on hospice. I spent many days and nights by his side.
His condition had good and bad days. But every day he'd dream about going out for burgers like we'd done many times before. "A big juicy burger," he asked for.
On one good day, I decided to make that burger happen. I drove over to That Guy's Bistro and brought back to his room a side of thick curly fries and one big, juicy TG Burger.
In the state of his condition, he could get down just two or three bites, plus the same number of fries. But he was satisfied. He bragged about that burger lunch many times more - far better than hospital food!
I am forever grateful to have shared that experience. That day turned out to be one of his last good ones, as he passed peacefully within the following week.
How his eyes lit up will always remind me that sometimes, to make the hard moments easier, all we need is a big, juicy burger.
Thank...

The food was very good. Looking forward to trying other menu items on...

Not only were they quick and efficient, but honestly even if they had taken a long time I would have waited. The food was so fresh and so delicious I didn’t speak for five minutes and just inhaled it, that’s how good it was. Next time I’m in bend I will definitely be...
