Finally made it to this gem! Not disappointed. The whole experience was magical. We will be back!

Excited to finally try Dueling Spoons. It was our anniversary so we splurged. Charming atmosphere, we arrived a little early and were seated immediately. I ordered the mimosa flight and it was fun (loved the blackberrySo hard to choose what to order, finally decided on the Kobe steak au poivre, how often will I have the chance to try a Kobe steak, it was delicious but it didn't seem much different from a good New York steak. My husband had the solo surf and turf with a giant lobster tail and a New York steak, I tried his potato side and it was so good, I don't know what kind of cheese he used but yum. He was In heaven. We started with the potato leek soup and the shrimp watermelon salad. They were also delicious. We split the panne cotta berries for dessert and took home a piece of the sour apple pie. We will be back to try more of the menu. read more

Dueling Spoons' hospitality, atmosphere, and food are top notch! From the service of the entire staff to Chef Billy's visit to our table, it was by far the best meal any of us had ever had! Our meal was quite literally the best, from starters, to entrees and through dessert, each and every item was perfectly delicious down to the last element! Every detail was perfectly spot on! Thank you so much, Dueling Spoons family, and most of all Chef Billy! read more

I wish there were more stars to describe this restaurant. From the moment we arrived we felt welcomed by this lovely family. Kathleen serves, Billy cooks and their son and a family friend checked in on us throughout our visit. And the food,oh my! Beautifully plated and perfectly prepared from the onion soup and Caesar salad to the poached pear for dessert. We tried lots of things on the menu and nothing was less than perfect. Not enough adjectives to describe this special place! read more

Took mom and dad for their 71st anniversary and so glad we chose dueling spoons. Mom had the tenderloin with shrimp and blue cheese sauce, dad had short rib dish with mashers. Both excellent and plenty for tomorrow. Kathleen was our server and made their night very special with flowers and a card signed by the whole staff. The place was very inviting and wouldn't hesitate to recommend to anyone that enjoys something special. read more

Hands down the best restaurant I have ever been too! I chose the seafood pot pie and see many other menu items to try in the future. Portions are quite large, and would be easy to share. I will be having leftovers for a couple days. The seafood pot pie has huge chunks of salmon, large scallops, prawns, etc. The crust is buttery and flaky, so amazing! We were with a group of 8 and everyone's dish was appealing and portions were huge. Prices are very reasonable for food quality and portion size. They offer specialty beverages starting at $3 which is a shockingly reasonable price & value. Save room for dessert, or get something to go. I recommend the walnut apple pie. The Chef and his family make this restaurant fun and entertaining! I will definitely return to this restaurant for special occasions. read more

We live in Eugene. Our son said they recently noticed this new restaurant pop up out of nowhere in Fall creek. (25 minute drive from near Costco) so we had to try it for Sunday brunch. Found out it's only been open for 6 weeks. Food was amazing! We had goat cheese veggie frittata, chicken Caesar salad and golden onion soup. Everything was fresh and delicious. Come to find out chef Billy has a list of many accolades a mile long after his name, including being recognized by Michelle Obama. While we were there I noticed in between cooking he came out and introduced himself to every table. Very personable. I hope everyone takes the time to take the small drive to Fall Creek. You won't regret it. We're going back for dinner this week. Let's support him! read more

For being open a mere 7 weeks, Dueling Spoons has it dialed in! Great food, friendly and attentive staff, and a cool atmosphere lend to making this a worthwhile destination. I managed to catch the tail end of brunch and left stuffed. House brown bread with jam and butter started me off, followed by a superb golden onion soup. Sweet onions barely caramelized, almost hinting of apples, with croutons and melted cheese. Decadent. The salmon and shaved fennel benedict was spot-on. Perfectly smooth and tangy hollandaise, egg cooked exactly right, and the balance of flavors really made the dish. The chef (Billy Reid) made the rounds several times to ensure the guests were all happy, and is clearly proud of his well-earned cooking chops. He certainly should be proud of his restaurant. The staff were very friendly (many are family) and attentive and clearly enjoying a busy Sunday brunch service. Dueling Spoons is worth every minute of the drive out to Fall Creek! read more

This place is a gem. I have been several times and each time has been so delicious. The owner sends you a text after you make a reservation so you understand what to expect. He states it's slow and to hang out but each time I've been its been a reasonable amount of time. My favorites are the pork chop and the shrimp and watermelon salad. Yes that is an odd combination, but it is very good. The pork chop is huge and juicy, served with potatoes and vegetables. I have also had the the steak, filet, and salmon. Each cooked to perfection. We have been for dinner and then for celebrations. The family comes and sings to you. They truly make you feel welcome and special. Although the ambience isn't super romantic, it's a great place to come for good food and service. They have a wine and beer menu but no hard alcohol. Their mimosa flight is very tasty. read more

We ate there last night for dinner for the first time. This is a wonderful place. The restaurant was warm and inviting inside so don't be fooled by its plain exterior.The service was impeccable. All the servers were warm, friendly and talkative. The dinner was served in a timely but, not rushed manner. Extensive wine, cider and beer menu. My wife had steak and Guinness pie which was delicious. I had 1/4 lb. shrimp stuffed with crab meat in a cream lobster sauce. The sauce was to die for. Proportions were huge. Many tables were filled with special occasion people, anniversary, birthday etc. We were too full for dessert but, they looked beautiful. We' be back for sure. read more

I have no words for the evening we had a Dueling Spoons but I will do my best. After a reservation snafus, Chef Billy made sure we were seated and enjoyed our experience to the fullest, giving us the best seats in the house (his words), and they truly were. Service was excellent, his wife is the sweetest and we were always attended to by someone. Chef Billy was attentive in between cooking, fun to talk to, hilariously funny, and just a true gem of a person. He was so honest about how he runs his restaurant and what it means to him to cook for people. He is to be adored. As for the food, good Lord. Best steak and shrimp I've ever had in my life. 2 of our other guests had the same entree and were equally pleased, 1 other guest had a seafood pastry dish and he loved it. Appetizers were great, salad was great, salad dressing was out of this world. We just absolutely loved our experience, our food and Chef Billy. We cannot wait to go back some day. Let's hope Landline Larry doesn't mess it up next time. And a note to future patrons, leave your expectations and your attitude at the door. This place runs on love, laughter and amazing food. read more

It was our first time dining here and we were greeted by Chef Billy and his family upon entry. The staff was very friendly and attentive and made excellent recommendations and the food was incredible! The restaurant was cozy and romantic which was perfect for our anniversary celebration. I highly recommend Dueling Spoons to anyone looking for a restaurant that goes beyond your expectations. We'll be visiting again! read more

We just enjoyed the best meal we've had in a year. World class food, excellent service, and a warm and inviting atmosphere await at Dueling Spoons. I recommend the seafood pot pie. We had a party of 4, each of us ordered different dishes, and all were excellent. Oh, and the panna cotta... delicous! Our table that was ready the moment we walked through the door, we were warmly greeted, quickly seated, housemade bread and high quality butter placed on the table along with water and menus for all. The service was superior, attentive with no rushing. This family operation, and the care they put into serving their clients, while serving up excellent meals is most impressive. It is rare, the world over, to find an establishment with such attention to detail, that checks every single box for great food and a great dinner experience. The excellent food, attention (including Chef Billy, who visited each table while we were there) Love this place! Will return! read more

The food was absolutely amazing, the best food I've probably ever had in my life. The service was great very family oriented. I can't wait to go back to try more dishes. It's like having a 5 star restaurant out in the country. read more

Great atmosphere, out of this world staff and unmatched menu. We had the surf and turf for ten. 20lb ish tomahawk, 10 massive lobster tails (I mean massive), melt in your mouth potatoes, garlic, roasted peppers, perfectly cooked asparagus. My family devoured the salad and soda bread. There wasn't a detailed spared. The variety of beverages had everyone happy and the desserts are indescribably good. We brought home a ton of left overs and were still drooling over other tables dishes. We will be back to try the elk and chicken asap. Thank you Chef Billy and family. We had outstanding service. read more

We were thrown out of Dueling Spoons while attempting to celebrate our 33rd anniversary this evening. There's a first time for everything, and I guess at age 67 I can now count being asked to leave a restaurant as a new experience. The wait staff ignored us for most of an hour, and when I gently mentioned this to the chef/owner who stopped at our table to chat, he told us in no uncertain terms to leave. We did. Zero stars. The restaurant has some interesting practices based on limitations in the kitchen, which we were fully informed of when we made the reservation. However, we were treated far outside of those practices, and I could not have been more-pleasant when I gently, quietly, mentioned this to the owner...repeating a few times that "all was good", and we were looking forward to our appetizer...even though we had been there for an hour. He made it clear that we would not be receiving food from him, and asked us...no, told us, to leave...and he blamed us for "ruining it" for him. He was attempting to gaslight us, trying to blame us, after being ignored for an hour. He went from friendly/loquacious to angry/hostile in about a third of a second. I see here that he attacks the people who leave negative reviews, and I fully expect this from him here. I now also note that another review was left here with other patrons having been asked to leave, after being ignored by the wait staff, and "daring" to mention this. The owner appears to be a malignant narcissist. This was a new experience for us. EDIT: Sadly, "Chef Billy" has responded in exactly the way I anticipated, given how we were treated at his establishment, and in seeing his response to other negative reviews. In fact, lying and bullying here aren't going to work on me. Based on Billy's ebullient behavior before we were seated (we had a very nice conversation, he and I, but it was mostly him bragging about various accolades), and the way that wait staff (his family) avoided even eye contact with us for most of an hour, I suspect a very difficult circumstance for them. Yes, we were served wine, although only the two glasses were consumed before being unceremoniously tossed out by Billy. In retrospect, it's clear that this restaurant doesn't follow their own written policies, which state that a single table starts their service with a 5pm reservation, and additional tables are added in 15 minute intervals. We had a 5pm reservation. From their website, "There is only one 5pm reservation, one 5.15, and so on." And to respond directly to Billy, I never said anything in my review about "ordering first"...so you're lying about that. In fact, we were in fact seated before the couple you mention...and you're also lying about their pre-ordering...we heard them order...they were attended to by your wait-staff before us, and even though we were seated before them, and we waited another 30-40 minutes before anyone bothered to take our order. So spin the tale any way that you'd like, Billy. I don't see how your responses to honest reviews like this will help you...instead of trying to repair the damage, you're intentionally attacking your would-be patrons. How's that going to work out for you in the long run? read more

Loved the location and setting and feeling of the place. The bread was delicious! Main courses were not quite as good as everyone hyped them up to be. Pork was underdone on part of it. Such a big serving though that the underdone part was just set aside. Chicken was thin cutlets that were a little dry. The sauce did help though. I love that the staff are all the family but dang if you say you are full and don't want dessert you get the cold shoulder and the woman won't talk to you the rest of your visit. The son that was working though was super nice. And I loved that everyone came out and sang happy birthday. In response to owner....not saying I won't come again. Unless you are asking me not to come back. I am just sayin go that done things were off. I always allow that it could be an off day. read more

This place is incredible! The food, atmosphere and staff were amazing! We had a great conversation with chef Billy and his lovely wife. We will be back over and over again! read more

We've been wanting to try this charming restaurant since it opened and finally visited them on a recent Wednesday. When making the reservation, Chef Billy was very clear via text that they don't hurry you, they want you to take your time and enjoy the experience and that if we had a later reservation (7p and after) we may wait. I appreciated the heads up as we had 7p reservations. However, we arrived a few minutes early and were immediately seated by a very friendly hostess. Our drink orders were taken immediately by Kathleen (a bottle of rose' that was immediately put into an ice bucket). The atmosphere was very festive as several tables were celebrating anniversaries. Lots of singing by all including by Chef Billy who was in great spirits. After enjoying a bit of our amazing wine (we asked to keep the bottle since it was so interesting), Kathleen took our appetizer and dinner orders. Immediately afterwards, we were given a large chunk of their Irish soda bread which was delicious. The spoon shaped butter was a nice touch. After enjoying some more of our wine and the bread, our mushroom with pastry appetizer was wheeled to the table. It was my highlight of the entire meal, just delicious. Our entrees arrived shortly afterwards. I had the chicken with mushrooms, a delicious dish with mashed potatoes, fresh vegetables smothered in a wonderfully light wine and cream sauce. My wife had the seared salmon, a large portion perfectly cooked over those same potatoes and vegetables. Between courses, I perused the mercantile space they have and was impressed by the amount of items they had from the UK and Ireland that is very difficult to get on your own here. Included in that was some HP Brown Sauce I fell in love with during an extended business trip I took to the UK a few years ago. We topped off our meal experience with the poached pear with pastry points. Simply amazing. Including a photo of that. We ended up buying some of the HP sauce and eggs they had. Chef Billy, whom throughout our time there stopped to chat asking us how our meal was going, even threw in some sticky pudding for free for us to take home. Overall, this was a top 5 meal experience for me since we moved to the area in 2019. Service, food and ambiance all 5 stars. Thank you Chef Billy and Kathleen for a memorable evening. We will be back! read more

I cannot believe I forgot to post a review! My husband, 2 kids (14 & 9) & I ate here for my birthday last month. The entire experience was amazing. Yes, you aren't going to get your meal on a fast food timeline. But why go out to eat with people you don't want to spend time with? It's not just a meal- it's an experience. The entire family went out of their way to chat with us. I'm fairly certain that my 9 year old son was ready to change families and just stay. Sean was so great with him. And then when Chef Billy gave him his own Dueling Spoons shirt... Wow. That made his entire year! What an absolutely delightful place & family. Oh! And the food is unbelievably good. We had filet mignon, salmon, prawns & pork. Every dish was unique & tasty. We'll be back soon for a surf & turf date night. read more

Wonderful food and service. Chef Billy made accommodations to fit us in for my wife's birthday. We were warmly greeted by the staff and informed that dinner service does not start until 5 PM and were welcome to mingle at the bar or check out their market items. I saw Chef out greeting customers and quickly thanked him for making room for us which he replied "You're Ben!? Welcome, we are glad to have you!". Shortly after, they began seating their tables. And we had requested the surf and turf when we booked out table, but were told by both Chef and our server that we are not obligated to order it and are welcome to try anything off the menu. So we took a few minutes to look over the menu as well. Our server came back a few minutes later to see if we still wanted to go with the Surf and Turf of if we've decided to try something off the menu. We let her know that we'd like to go with the surf and turf. My wife and I were then guided to their cooler to select our cut of meat and choice of steak and ring the bell. (One her dad's favorite things!) Chef Billy also swung by our table prior to cooking our meal to confirm we were happy with the decision and presented the MASSIVE lobster tail - which he also confirmed we were happy with. The food and service were both great and each member of the staff spent time with our table (and others) to share stories and check in on their customers. We loved every bit of our experience! The food was amazing: scalloped potatoes, roasted veggies, lobster and steak (oh my!). The sauces- OH MY!!! They are amazing and I passed up on the offer to take some to go! Even though we were stuffed and politely declined dessert - our server gave us a slice of Pecan Pie to go; because "nobody should have to pass up on pie on their birthday". We will be back soon to enjoy more of the menu. Thank you again Chef Billy and Reid Family read more

Stopped here for lunch today, they only do takeout sandwiches for lunch. We ordered a 12" roast beef and Irish cheddar sub with their homemade roasted vegetable dressing. Topped it with lettuce, tomato, pickled onions, and cornichons. It was enough for two people to share and tasted awesome. What a wonderful surprise to find this restaurant in the middle of nowhere ! read more

Where to even begin... start by going to https://duelingspoons.net/ And making a reservation!! Seriously some of THE BEST food I've ever had at Dueling Spoons last night This hidden gem right in our back yard- fall creek (who would have guessed)! This is a family owned and operated restaurant, headed up by chef Billy- the recipient of 14 national cooking awards. We were greeted by his daughter, the hostess; and waited on by his lovely wife Kathleen. Chef Billy came out multiple times to visit with guests and remembered my name from the reservation, so warm welcoming The highlights: The most amazing wine list clam and mussel appetizer with a sauce I wanted to drink it was so rich and delicious! my husband got to hand pick his Tbone from the cooler and ring the big steak bell it came back with the perfect outter crisp and juicy bursting with flavor inside. My favorite was the Chimichurri served with it- so damn good! no surprise that the potato sides were next level... my mash featured a hint of allspice or nutmeg- something I've never had with potatoes, but it left me inspired to experiment with it the next time I cook potatoes! And the potatoes au gratin once again like nothing I've ever had! Kathleen suggested the seafood pot pie- something I had never imagined being a thing. It was amazing- huge pieces of fish, shrimp and scallops in a lobster sauce with a decadent pastry topping. Needless to say if you have read this far and not made a reservation yet, you're missing out! Thank you Dueling spoons for such a wonderful night, we will be back soon! read more

we booked an early dinner, and yes, reservations are required. Billy and the kids bring in a few tables to start the night, then fold in smaller parties every 15 minutes or so. As some of you might've read, there's only one person in the kitchen. And he doesn't want to be rushed. Aside from the exorbitant champagne bill racked up by our good friend, we would have gotten out of there for $30 apiece. The service was spacious, but attentive. They really have no intention of you hurrying through your dinner. We shared six or so appetizers, and there were no highlights, because all of them were fabulous. I did not think to make any photographs. foodies coming out from Eugene and Springfield mixed with the locals, so it's an interesting, fun scene. read more

If you want charm, charisma, and amazing food this is your spot! Chef Billy, his wife Kathleen and their (I believe 6) children welcome you in as friends and you leave as family! We went for our 15 year wedding anniversary at the urging of long time friends. We were treated just as though we were in Billy and Kathleen's home. Complete with an anniversary song and a beautiful hand written card (we told them ahead of time why we were going) singed by the whole family. We are hoping for an invitation to their real home for Christmas now! Speaking of Christmas we had the pana cotta for desert which is searved with fresh berries filo pastry and a beautifully poached pear (my husband ate a bite before I could get a picture. Apparently this is a dessert typically served at Christmas in Ireland. My husband is a vegetarian and we were able to let Chef know ahead of time so he made a special entree for him which I think was actually bigger than him. I had the pork Shane and I really just wanted to take a bath in the gravy that it is served with. It was SO delicious! We also ordered an appetizer which was beautiful (and again we cut into before I took a picture oops). I believe it's called the onion Shannon. It was fun to look around at the candies and imported foods and teas from Ireland while we waited for dinner. Well worth making a reservation way in advance as this is a very popular place and they are booked out several weeks in advance! I already made my next reservation! I have a new favorite spot! Thank you so much to Chef Billy, Kathleen and family for welcoming us into your beautiful restaurant! Cheers! Sláinte! read more

Oh. My. Goodness!! We drove far, far away to get to this small restaurant my sister and brother in law recommended and it did NOT disappoint. To say we were pleasantly surprised is an understatement! Living near DC gives us an opportunity to dine at many fine establishments and let me tell you, this little place in Oregon was waaaaaay better than most if not all of them combined. I AM NOT KIDDING! The atmosphere, the service and the food were all phenomenal. Dueling Spoons is well worth the drive and the wait. We cannot wait to come back and visit. -Karissa and Jason C. read more

A quirky atmosphere in which to enjoy world-class cuisine. We can't wait to go back.

My family and I love Dueling Spoons. We go there as often as we can. My husband is a neurotic vegetable hating ogre and it's challenging to find a restaurant he will eagerly go to with me. Every time I mention Dueling Spoons, he's on board and can't wait to go. I've never been disappointed in the service or the food. The food is to die for. Everything is made to order and yes it takes time but it's actually enjoyable getting to sit back and relax and see what others are ordering and see the food as it comes out on the little carts. His family is always warm and welcoming and greet us with a hello and usually a hug. His son Shane is seriously my favorite. I love getting to see Billy come out and hear his funny stories. He's the frosting on the cake. lol I recently had his "to go" meals for St. Patrick's day (shockingly extremely reasonably priced for such a nice restaurant) and just like when you're in the restaurant, it was perfection. It was the longest drive home I've ever driven. Having to smell the food sitting next to me all the way home was pure torture. I may have sped a little on the way home and passed a few cars along the way. Sorry... I had precious cargo that I could smell and needed to eat asap. My only regret was not ordering one of everything off the menu. The little meat pies were so good my daughter offered me 50.00 to go back and see if I could get another order! lol I wish I'd have taken pictures but after driving and having to smell the yummy goodness I attacked it as soon as I got in the door. You'll have to trust me. It was magnificent. lol Also... if you take the bread home, try toasting it with butter and add a little honey. Omg.. so so good. Yet another perfect experience at my family's favorite restaurant. Poor Chef Billy is stuck with us! read more

I wish I had been able to actually review the food at this place, but the lousy attitude of the owners here kept me from even trying it. I requested reservations here for my birthday a month away. I was greeted with a long message on my phone trying to verify if you are the kind of people they want coming to their establishment. They explained they are a family and not servants, so don't expect them to be at your beck and call. They stated they have almost no parking and should you be arriving in the dark, bring a flashlight. What? They stated the average dinner is 2 to 2.5 hours. I have never been anyplace where it takes that long. I told them I had theater reservations that would not allow us to take that long and we would have to cancel. They came back and told us since I had a reservation at 5 p.m. the average meal was done in 1.5 hours. I figured, I was still willing to give the place a shot and asked them to keep the reservation in that case. They came back and said they had already cancelled the reservation. What? You are already full up at 5 p.m. for a date a month from now? I am happy for all you folks who had a nice experience there. I apparently do not rate up to the type of people they want and will go find someone else who wants my business. read more

Our group of 4 visited to celebrate my birthday. All I can say is WOW. This is the best meal I think I've ever had. The service was wonderful too! We went all out with appetizers, wine, main courses and dessert and were there for about 3 hours. But the time flew by and was just so fun. The staff is so kind and welcoming, and we got to chat with Chef Billy for awhile before we left. Lots of fun and laughs! We look forward to returning and working our way through the menu! read more

Having heard good things about Dueling Spoons, my partner made a reservation for a special date night. We wanted to treat ourselves to some great food and a fun new experience. We drove nearly an hour from Veneta and arrived a little early. We were prepared for a wait and a longer dining experience based on the website and reservation communications. We were asked to sit at the bar while waiting for our table. Servers were all around and no one offered to take our drink order, we had to flag someone down. We were then seated and ignored, we again had to flag someone down to ask for bread. When the bread arrived it was severely undercooked, sticky and doughy/raw tasting. We sent it back and asked for some that is fully cooked. We also had to ask for place settings as none had been brought to us with the bread. We waited about 30 minutes before even placing an order while we ate the cold, boring Irish bread with our drinks. We placed our order and were told to go pick out our steak, 24oz T-bone on the menu. When you pick your vacuum packed steak you have to ring a bell so everyone knows you bought an expensive steak. Maybe some like this aspect, we thought it was silly and unnecessary. The filet portion of all the t-bones was tiny, why bother. Just serve a New York. Our appetizers arrived. The dinner salad was fine, the dressing was tasty but the salad was overdressed. I was excited to have the mussel and clam appetizer, something I have ordered frequently and loved at other locations. There is something so enticing about shellfish in a tasty broth, this was not. The dueling spoons version was the worst I've ever had, no salt whatsoever and the shallots or onions were raw and crunchy. We commented and decided to cancel our entree order, after sitting for an hour and having been largely ignored. We may have waited it out and tried our entrees but at that point the bad service and food was enough. Rather than attempting to resolve our concerns, the server said "you should just leave." It was very rude and they made no attempt to fix anything. So after an hour of bad service and food we left hungry and disappointed. Chef Billy, supposedly the only one cooking, spent an unreasonable amount of the we were there loitering around the dining room. He never took time to greet us or check in. It's no wonder ticket times are so long if he's only cooking half the time. We expected a slower service experience, but we expected someone to be preparing food that has been ordered. We won't be back again and will be sharing our experience with others. Not worth the price, not worth the drive. What a waste of time. read more
