CHOW Burger, the burger joint on Bend’s west side, announced Jan. 11 that it’s closing up shop. The burger place, created by the people behind Cottonwood Café in Sisters and CHOW Restaurant in Bend, opened between The Lot and Hutch’s Bicycles in 2020 with a simple menu of burgers, fries and milkshakes.
“We want to thank everybody for all the support over the last couple of years. It was a fun and face-meltingly delicious ride,” CHOW Burger announced on its social media channels last week.
“We’ll be looking for a new location to continue our mission of bringing smiles to faces one burger at a time.”

Hamburger joints in Bend are everywhere and in this category surviving is a major challenge financially unless you have deep pockets.
How many places that serve $14 hamburgers does Bend really need?
Hate seeing local businesses close but I’m not surprised in this case, went to Chow burger a number of times and never had an all-around good experience: fries overcooked, or burger/bun overcooked, or staff (really) rude, or order wrong, etc. Too bad
