The Top 5 Ranch Dressings In Bend Oregon

By: Laurel Ibbs

I don’t know about you, but I love Ranch. Ranch is the one condiment that can practically go on anything: On fries, pizza, salad, and chicken. Ranch is a great condiment for any and all occasions. Now I know what you’re thinking, 'All ranch tastes the same,' I would strongly disagree; here’s my 5 reasons why.

1. 10 Barrel Brewing

Do you eat pizza with ranch? Well, I sure do. There’s something different about dipping your warm fresh Pepperoni or the Clinton 2.0 Pizza in ranch. 10 Barrel's Ranch's consistency, It’s creamy with a hint of garlic. It’s on the thinner side which helps make it the perfect “pizza ranch”. 10 Barrel’s ranch is always consistent which makes a indecisive person's life way easier. The ranch is served on a cold 3 oz metal platter. Not trying to get scientific on ranch, but I believe metal heightens each and every savory herb and spice. It’s flawless and great. If its west side or east side, I know the ranch at 10 Barrel is the exact same every time.

2. Chicken Bonz

Chicken Bonz offers tons of sauces and condiments. The whole restaurant is centered around eating good chicken with good sauce options. They have more verity. From buffalo ranch to garlic parmesan ranch and much more. The sauces they offer are on the thicker side and leave a heavier flavor when you dip into them. On the menu when you order you automatically get a choice of 2 side condiments with any meal, which is extremely reasonable. Chicken tenders or wings dipped in ranch is just a perfect combo for game night or just having funs with friends.

3. Pine Tavern

Pine Tavern ranch might not be better because of flavor necessarily, but the atmosphere makes up for it. I would say it’s a more bougie type of ranch. It tastes like the standard restaurant ranch, a little more creamy, and on the runnier side adding onto the fancier view and entrée of Pine Tavern. If you get the steak meal, it comes with a side salad and the ranch matches the salad to the tee. Blends perfectly with the arugula and cucumber. I think it’s a perfect mixture for fancy date night or a celebrating an event.

4. Nineteen At Awbrey Glen

The restaurant at Awbrey Glen is amazing. The food is beyond wonderful, and the ranch is just a added bonus. The ranch is creamy, garlicy, and all around just buttery. It almost melts in your mouth with whatever great entrée you chose. From avocado toast to the fantastic salads or burgers, you can’t go wrong. The ranch brings out incredible flavors in the main course. Looking over the golf course or the beautiful snowy mountains really adds to the ambiance of the meal and the great ranch.

5. Cibelli’s Pizza

Cibelli’s ranch is your general, cliché, basic ranch. It’s extremely simple and plain. The simplicity makes it, sometimes you just want a standard plain ranch. Especially if you are eating a slice of Hawaiian pizza, the ranch brings out the flavors but doesn’t overwhelm and cover them. The ranch is thick and creamy, good flavor of garlic and not to overwhelming or underwhelming, it’s the perfect duo. This ranch is great when you want a little add on to a slice of good pizza, or to jazz up some cheesy garlic bread. You can never go wrong with an ordinary ranch.
