Great variety! - Edit
We have only visited once, so far, and hope to go back and try other meals!
Read moreI had the crab cake sandwich and it was delicious. Top bun was “buttery” and toasted. Definitely need napkins. The cake itself is a little mushy, but I’m good with that. The sauce!!! They even put a sauce on the potato chips.
The Mac n Cheese was okay. You definitely get the nutritional yeast. Personally, I like mine a little more creamy. Would be fun if they offered different sauce options to put on it.
Pros: A vegan truck in a food truck yard! , Fabulous outdoor environment , They are passionate about their food

Go here! Best Mac and cheese and wrap! - Edit
This food truck lives up to their fabulous ratings on happy cow. We split the buffalo wrap as it was large. Also enjoyed the seating area in this location. It was worth the drive from Tumalo State Park..

Comfort Food - Edit
Lively Up Yourself is located at the midtown yacht club amongst other food trucks. We tried the ribs, chikn burger, and jackfruit mac. The ribs and chikn patty were both made from very dense seitan (a little dry) but still delicious. Our favorite was the jackfruit mac, very flavorful!!! Love to see some vegan representation in Bend!

LOVE! - Edit
Visiting from southeast Texas and found this amazing place on Happy Cow. We were not disappointed! I had the ribz and mac & cheese with a side of old fashioned potato salad. The hubs had the buffalo wrap and we shared a strawberry shake. Mwah! So delicious! I believe the owners are Elliot and Sarah. We met both, and they are so friendly and happy making amazing vegan comfort food. Honestly, friends, the ribz and the bbq sauce are their own recipe and I cannot recommend them highly enough. ❤️❤️❤️ You MUST go and taste.

Delicious - Edit
First of all, the food truck park that they’re in is adorable! We ordered the BBQ Mac, Krabby app, and the Buffalo ranch wrap. We wanted the BBQ plate but they were all out. The food was incredible. Everything was delicious and portions were large!

Great vegan food truck! - Edit
Stumbled across this food truck yesterday, and we are so glad we did! Everything on the menu looked delicious, so we had a hard time choosing.
Read moreI ended up going with the Buffalo Ranch Wrap, which was super tasty. There was no skimping on the seitan chicken and the buffalo sauce had a mellow kick to it.
My husband ended up getting the BBQ plate, as it had a bit of everything. He said the ribs were the best vegan ribs he ever had. Loved the potato salad and the cornbread was divine!
Pros: The entire menu, Generous portions

Disappointing - Edit
We got the buffalo seitan tenders and the Mac n cheese. They were fine. Nothing spectacular. The seitan strips were cold, we had to reheat them in the microwave. The Mac n cheese was very basic. It seems Bend does not have very good vegan options.

All-vegan menu of comfort food - Edit
YES! Excellent creamy cheeze made from sunflower seeds. Got the Buffalo Mac bowl that has breaded seitan doused in vinegary salty spicy satisfying Buffalo sauce & green onions atop the Mac n' cheeze. Will visit this food truck any time I'm in Bend Oregon. I took a pic of the main part of the menu but they had more offerings.
Read morePros: Nut-free cheeze sauce was top notch, Variety of burritos also on menu, BBQ items

Comfort Food! - Edit
This was definitely some of the best comfort food I’ve had since going vegan! They had so many options. We had the breakfast burrito and the BBQ Mac and Cheese Bowl. Both were delicious! The area to eat was really nice vibe and even had some misters to keep the areas cool in the hot weather! I wish I was in the area longer to try more of the menu items!

Vegan Comfort Food in Great Location - Edit
Food truck is currently at Midtown Yacht Club which has several food trucks and and a taproom. The location is great with lots of outdoor seating, lots of shade coverings and misters.
Read moreThe food is vegan comfort food. We tried the BBQ plate with ribz, mac n cheese, greens and cornbread. We also had the BLT wrap and a blueberry milkshake.
I enjoyed the ribz, and the cornbread was really tasty. The BLT wrap was delicious with the bacon being spot on; best vegan bacon I've ever had. The milkshake was also perfect.
I thought the greens were too salty and didn't have enough flavor otherwise (needed some of the bacon in there) and I wasn't a fan of the mac n cheese, but my husband liked it.
Prices were very reasonable for the portion sizes.
Pros: Love supporting a fully vegan truck. , Several dishes were really good., Great service.
Cons: Didn't care for some of the dishes.

Mac & cheese in a burrito ?! - Edit
I went here on recommendation of a fellow vegan. I got the BBQ burrito with added Mac & Cheese. No regrets ! I’ve experience many things in a burrito (pad Thai burrito wha?) but this was my first Mac & Cheese burrito. Who would have guessed that it’s work so well ! The truck is located in a fun little pod with a bar. Great relaxed atmosphere. The dogs enjoyed chilling too.

Stylin’ Food Truck - Edit
Really nice menu (like the literal visual menu on the truck was nifty 🙃), lots of cool options. I didn’t get around to reviewing soon enough after my visit but we got the things I’ve attached photos of. The mac and cheese and crab cake bowl I think it was called, that was the hit of our choices. The other items were OK.
Read morePros: All vegan! , Friendly staff. , Tasty Mac

One of my fav go to spots - Edit
Tend to go there when I don’t want to think about where to go…love the buf Mac bowl and lentil “crab” cake. Unlike some other vegan spots in town they are super consistent with hours and quality of food…highly recommend.

So good - Edit
My first food truck experience and it was awesome! I’ve been here a few times already. The breakfast burrito is so flavorful, and you can’t go wrong with a Mac n Cheese bowl. Customer service is genuinely great, always thankful they are open.

Oof - Edit
Maybe if you’ve never eaten comfort food outside of this area it could pass as good, but honestly it’s pretty bad. The mac is very bland other than some hint of spiciness, that’s it. The real offender here is the collards. It’s mostly red kale and ours was still very raw and not steamed and extremely salty with a mix of salt and vinegar. To the point of not being edible. Now maybe all of this was just one off night perhaps, but from our personal experience alone, we would not return. However, the ribs were great and I wish I just had 3 helpings of those instead.

This is definitely an uncommon reaction to our food. We just got rid of an employee that couldn't keep up to our standards. Maybe you had a dish he plated.

I am sorry this was your experience with our food for the first time. We have many other varieties of dishes that may fit more to your taste buds as well.

Holy wowza - Edit
Eat here. Right now. Do it. You won't regret it. I struggled, looking at the menu, with what to order. I finally settled on the BBQ Mac Bowl. The guy told me it's their most popular option and yeah, I can see why! Holy moly, it was next level. I was disappointed at first to see a small container but they LOADED that thing to the top. It was way more food than I could finish in one sitting (hello, leftovers!) and the BBQ tempeh was honestly so freaking good I can't stop thinking about it. I wish I could try everything on the menu. I was only in Bend for the weekend, but I will be back for more!
Read moreThe overall vibe/atmosphere of this cart pod was also excellent. Great drinks on tap, and they were playing some 90s/2000s throwback tunes. Super fun!!
