THE BAND

Bigfoot County is a blues-rock and country band from Bend, Oregon, known for their soulful takes on classic tunes. Mixing the grit of the Allman Brothers with the swagger of Waylon Jennings, they bring high-energy covers and good-time vibes to every stage.

THE VENUE

Before he was a celebrity chef, restauranteur, or rancher, Brian Malarkey was a boy from the country in Oregon. James, his brother, has the same story — Oregon roots, a love of the open spaces of Central Oregon, and a feeling that he'd find his way back to it eventually.

Brian's career carried him out of state — through television kitchens, acclaimed restaurants, the demanding orbit of a professional chef. James built a life as an entrepreneur and marketer. Both successful. Both still pulled, quietly and persistently, by the place that raised them.

That opportunity is Hawkeye & Huckleberry Lounge — a "modern cowboy" restaurant and bar with a wood-fired oven, semi-private canvas tent dining, and a vibrant outdoor patio that perfectly embodies Oregon's majestic outdoors. The menu, deeply rooted in ranch-to-plate traditions, showcases beef and produce from our nearby Tumalo ranch. With an on-site butcher shop and smoker, we make use of the entire animal, offering high-quality steaks, creative dishes, and plenty of options at friendly prices.

This is a dining experience that celebrates the culinary heritage of Central Oregon — and a love letter to the home the Malarkey brothers spent decades trying to find their way back to.
