I believe that is what the rest of them ordered as well. I have to tell you, I met up with them in Santa Clara, picked my guy up, then drove home to Veneta before eating my meal. It was still unbelievably crispy, and very delicious. This is probably one of the best broasted chicken's I have had in a very long time. May even surpass Manley's IFYKYN about that place. The flavor, and flakiness of the outside, and the tenderness of the meat were just done to perfection . We will have to go back soon. Sorry no pics, I was too hungry, maybe next time. So I have had a chance to go in, and have to say the service is impeccable. The chicken, still crispy, and delicious. Will go back again. If you like broasted chicken, this is the spot to go. They had great 80's classics playing, and I also really like that they had several TV's. I'm sure that is great for game nights.

This casino is actually small but nice...and they have a great non smoking section for patrons choosing to avoid cigarette smoke. The restaurant is accessible via the non smoking side and is quite large inside. There is a stage inside as well for evening entertainment. We sat at the bar and both the wife and I ordered steak and eggs. The portion of steak was large...guessing 8 ounces...temp was cooked correctly and it had a decent char on top... but it just lacked flavor. Maybe some marination would help. Eggs, hash brown and toast were on point...and service was pleasant as well. Price was $21 each which is a bargain for steak and eggs...just wish the meat had more flavor. Good breakfast spot but just not great...however we would certainly eat there again.

He decided to try the sandwich. I got the boneless wings with hot sauce and we ordered Cajun tater tots to share. When we went to pick up, I was greeted right away, promptly checked out, and we were a little early, so the food wasn't quite ready. Several waitresses came by to check in with me while I waited and that was great to know they were on top of our order. Got home and opened all of our goods and were surprised at the generous portion sizes!! The chicken fried steak on the sandwich was pretty big, and my husband enjoyed it a lot. He said the only thing missing was a side of gravy. Noted for next time, order a side of gravy. The boneless wings were great. The hot sauce has a nice kick, but also a sweet undertone (apple or pineapple, perhaps?) that I really enjoyed. I could only eat half of the wings because the portion size was so big. I'm saving them for a midnight snack. The large Cajun tater tots were also generously portioned. We could only eat half of them, so they are also being saved for later. The Cajun seasoning is great. Not overdone and not too spicy (we were a little worried because my husband doesn't eat anything spicy) but he devoured them and said they were awesome. All in all, we'll definitely be back.

Lion and Owl

4.4(420 reviews)

There are restaurants that seduce you with promise, and others that test your patience before…read morerevealing their intent. Lion & Owl, on this particular morning, proved to be both--a place of evident talent, yet uneven discipline, where flashes of brilliance are offset by lapses that no serious kitchen should permit. Let us begin with the triumph. The buckwheat pancakes arrive not merely as breakfast, but as a composition. A stack of admirable loft and structure--evidence of a properly developed batter, handled with restraint and precision. The crumb is airy yet resilient, each bite yielding gently before dissolving into a delicate nuttiness inherent to buckwheat. A caramelized banana sauce pools generously, glossy and fragrant, its sweetness tempered by the cultured tang of crème fraîche. Toasted coconut chips scatter across the top like crisp punctuation, lending both aroma and texture. This is cooking that understands balance--sweetness checked by acidity, softness lifted by crunch, comfort elevated by technique. It is, quite simply, a five out of five dish. The kitchen, here, remembers what it means to nourish and delight. And then--alas--we encounter its counterpoint. The mushroom brioche toast, in conception, should be a study in harmony: buttery bread, earthy fungi, silken eggs, fresh greens. Yet the execution falters at its very foundation. The brioche--so essential, so central--is pushed past the threshold of caramelization into bitterness. In a bread so rich with butter and sugar, precision is everything; overcook it, and the entire structure collapses under a shadow of char. The garnish, too, feels careless--large stems of greenery draped without intention, rather than composed with purpose. It is a dish that looks promising from a distance but betrays its flaws upon inspection. A two out of five--a failure not of imagination, but of discipline. The brie and truffle macaron arrives as an afterthought--set aside, unannounced, uncentered, as though it were a spare utensil rather than a composed pastry. Presentation matters. It signals care. Here, there is none. And the macaron itself? A confection that should whisper with delicacy instead resists with age. The shell is hardened, the interior overly chewy--signs of time having passed unkindly. The flavor is confused: a sweet, almost vanilla shell encasing a mild, savory filling of whipped brie and timid truffle. Neither side asserts itself; neither yields to the other. It is neither dessert nor savory course, but a muddled compromise. A two out of five, and left unfinished--a silent verdict more damning than words. The mimosa, I am told, is bright and pleasing, though presented without flourish--a small omission, but telling in a restaurant aspiring to polish. A four out of five, competent yet unadorned. The pour-over coffee reveals a lighter roast profile: bright acidity at the fore, a nutty mid-palate, a gently lingering finish. It is, as you observed, "hipster coffee"--intentionally expressive, though perhaps too acidic for a more classical palate. On flavor alone, a three out of five. Yet the experience is marred by a most unforgivable intrusion: a hair in the initial cup. Such a thing should never reach a guest. Ever. And beyond the plate--there is service. Dishes arriving out of sequence. Eggs meant for one guest appearing with another's delayed entrée. A table divided, one diner finished while the other waits. Explanations that do not align with reality. Items placed without acknowledgment or intention. These are not minor stumbles; they are fractures in the very architecture of hospitality. The Verdict Lion & Owl is a restaurant caught between what it is capable of and what it consistently delivers. There is real talent in this kitchen--evident in the pancakes, in the conceptual ambition of the menu, in flashes of thoughtful composition. But talent without rigor is unreliable. And hospitality without coordination is hollow. For every moment of genuine pleasure, there is another of carelessness--overcooked bread, stale pastry, inattentive plating, lapses in cleanliness, and disjointed service. In the end, one must judge the whole, not the highlights. Overall score: 2 out of 5. A restaurant with promise--undeniably--but one that must remember that excellence is not achieved in moments. It is achieved in consistency, in care, and in respect for the guest at every stage of the meal. Until then, Lion & Owl remains... a place that almost is.

Really great fresh food with some interesting combinations. We came here on a whim (no…read morereservations) while visiting my wife's niece at UofO at around noon on a Saturday. Busy but they had a table for us. Very nice decor, rotating menu. We had the buckwheat pancakes with caramelized bananas, dates, and pineapple syrup which was sweet but not overly so since the pancakes underneath were not touched by the syrup ended up being a really nice balance. Bacon was like a cross between pork belly and bacon (very thick) but really tasty. Breakfast Sando was good with in-house ground pork and a nice aioli. We also tried the savory macarons (Brie and truffle) which are delicious. Creamy and a tad sweet. Not too much truffle. Coffee was a bright tangy pour over-not my favorite type but some people really like that style. Oh, and we had a blood orange mimosa which was really good Overall an excellent experience! Definitely going to again when we are in town!

He is getting out of hand now that I taught him how Yelp works. So, we came for breakfast. After spending the night at the exclusive Hilton downtown, we had to shake off some of that snobbery. Smelled like smoke when we walked in. There were at least 10 TV screens in this dive bar. Big and roomy, a local gathering place for watching those all important football games. I would describe this as a "period place". By that I mean it was probably new in the 50s. And not a whip of change since. You know, "If it aint broke dont fix it." Stucco exterior, dirt parking lot with large holes disguised as puddles of mud. Even the ladies bathroom had that old fashioned towel dispenser with the continuous roll of blue cotton. Not paper. A real Pinball machine and several other video games, a crane game for winning a stuffed animal. 6 lottery machines and a carnival popcorn machine. A lot of forgotten caps and jackets all hanging on 4 hooks by the door. Two pool tables. Set up area for live country (?) music or (shudder) karaoke. And don't forget we are in U of O Duck country. The sign said GO DUCKS! So, "Go Ducks" (I just said that so I wouldnt get jumped. God help me if I said something about cute little beavers). So, for starters their coffee is good. Not thin and nasty like many a mom and pop cafe tries to pass off. Mr. B ordered a hamburger, me a veggie omelet. Both were real good. Generous amounts of delicious vegetables and cheese in the omelet. The hash browns were crispy good. You know, heart attack crispy. Even the toast was real good, already buttered. The hamburger, overdone (he requested medium rare, but delicious regardless. And he opted for a plateful of healthy alternative salad instead of the obligatory fries. Good job, honey. So, other than the strange looks of "hey, yew ain't bin here before" from the guys at the bar, this was a good spot to kick back and get real food.

Folks complaining about the vibe or the service while standing smack in the middle of the University of Oregon is like being surprised there are Ducks at Autzen Stadium. Context matters, people. My wife and I stopped in recently and had a genuinely great time. The service was solid our bartender was attentive, friendly, and made some damn good drinks. Food? On point. Nothing felt rushed or sloppy, even though you could tell this place knows how to stay busy. And yeah, it does get busy... because it's popular. That's not a flaw, that's a flex. The location is fun, the energy is lively, and I could absolutely see this place turning into a full-on party once the Ducks are flying high or the weekend rolls around. If service ever slows a touch, it's not because they don't care it's because half of Eugene decided Rennie's was the move that night. That's just college-town math. Bottom line: Rennie's Landing knows exactly what it is and where it is. If you come in expecting a quiet wine bar, you're in the wrong zip code. If you want good drinks, good food, attentive service, and a lively Oregon Ducks atmosphere, you'll leave happy. We sure did.

The hamburgers are large, the ground beef they use is good quality and they are more like a Smashburger rather than a thick hamburger. The buns used are perfect for me. They are delicate but sturdy enough to hold the sandwich together, tasty and not overpowering. I like the way the kitchen places, the lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickles in a small pile next to your burger so you can add any or all of it to your burger. The servers also bring out ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise, and ranch dressing to add your burger if you choose. I like all hamburgers so this burger goes in my top five list.
