    Strawberry Waffles and chicken sausage and choice of eggs
    lindsey j.

    Food is served super fast I'll say that, so perfect for when you want to have a good breakfast but have plans later on. Was on a weekend but was seated really fast. Food wasn't special or anything, good, but nothing mind blowing. However it's a good place to sit down with family and have nice talks so I still recommend. Nice how pancakes and waffle prices on the menu include choice of meat and two eggs, but you could also just do the pancakes and waffles if that's what you desire for less of the presented price.

    Bacon Avocado Hamburger

    Not that I thought the experience would be good, went with my elderly parents as they seem to like this location. All food is either frozen, dehydrated, or processed. I preferred the avocado bacon hamburger, bun was crumble and fell a part, two small pieces of avocado one small tomato, one pieces of bacon with about 20 fries. This was embarrassing, the servers was embarrassed to bring it out. This location is dirty, dated, needs overhauled. Not what it once was.

    Country fried steak and waffles

    We went to Elmers on a Thursday morning around 10:00. Very homey environment and packed. We ordered the Country Fried Steak with eggs lightly scrambled and we ordered the Waffle breakfast with eggs over easy and sausage. We were welcomed when we went into the restaurant and had quick service from our server once we sat down. I ordered the coffee but it wasn't worth it because it tasted watered down and a bit burnt. The country-fried steak was good, but I think that the gravy could have been a bit more flavorful. Hash Browns were soggy in the center, and not evenly cooked at all. I didn't eat them. The service was nice, and the environment was clean, but at the price of the food and the low quality of flavor in the sauces and coffee, I do not think that I would choose Elmers again.

    Even at 8pm the salads were fresh and the blue cheese dressing had real blue cheese in it. Really sweet server. Very quiet room.

    Good food and service. Recommended crab omelette was well worth it. Like when breakfast places have great coffee and they do.

    There was plenty of food, but not much flavor. The waitress was nice, and the hostess was polite.

    Rainy Day, Great Bar Seat, and One Memorable Meal…read more It was a cold, rainy Oregon afternoon when I stumbled into Castor, and I'm glad I did. There happened to be one open seat at the bar, which is my favorite place to dine when traveling. Sitting at the bar lets you talk story with the bartender, learn the menu, and watch the cocktails come together. If you're eating alone, I highly recommend grabbing a seat here. The bartender was friendly, easy to talk with, and clearly knew both the menu and the craft behind the bar. One thing that stood out right away was their use of fresh local ingredients, which really shows up in the flavor of the dishes and drinks. I started with the Golden Manhattan, made with a pecan-infused bourbon that was fantastic. It had a rich, slightly nutty flavor with warm vanilla notes and just the right touch of sweetness. Smooth, balanced, and a great way to kick off the meal. Alongside that I ordered the chorizo clam chowder, which brought a creamy base with just the right amount of spice from the chorizo. Comfort food with a little personality. For dinner I switched gears and ordered the Creole Sour. This one really stood out. Bright citrus up front, a smooth bourbon backbone, and a subtle spice note that tied perfectly into the Creole theme. It had that classic sour balance, tart, slightly sweet, and refreshing without overpowering the drink. Dinner was the gumbo with hot bread and butter, and it delivered. Deep flavor, a nice slow warmth from the spice, and hearty enough to make the rainy Oregon weather feel like part of the experience. To finish things off I kept it simple with a neat pour of Ben Holladay, which made for the perfect nightcap. The staff were welcoming and relaxed, which made the whole experience feel easy and comfortable. This is the kind of place that works whether you're dining solo, meeting friends, out with someone special, or grabbing dinner with a group. The price point landed right where it should be for the quality of food, cocktails, and service. If you're in Corvallis and can grab a seat at the bar at Castor, take it. Order a cocktail, settle in, and enjoy the ride. It turned a rainy afternoon into one heck of a meal.

    Amazing food, great service! Menu changes seasonally, but I've never had a dish I didn't love!read more
