    Chips
    Jadyn M.

    I went here for happy hour and the food was just okay. We were seated quickly and had great service from Lisa. I liked the lemon drop, and the gin and juice was great as well. My burger was cooked properly but just wasn't that impressive. The fried chicken sliders, chips, calamari, and house salad were all just fine. It's a good deal on happy hour, and I may be back to try their dinner menu, especially since the drinks and service are good. The restaurant is cozy, we had a nice booth in the back.

    3.5 stars * Eggs Benedict 4/5 * Chicken and waffles 3.75/5 * Biscuits and gravy 4/5 * Free donuts 2.5/5 * French dip 3/5 * Omelette 2/5 The best part is the gravy. The chicken breading fell off if u cut it so just eat it with ur hands. Worth trying this restaurant.

    I'm not sure why I've never been here before but the Mrs was very excited to have me try it out. So here we are. The hostess was dressed very elegantly and asked if we had reservations, we did not. No problem, she found us a table readily enough. We were expecting friends to join us and thought the table to be a bit small.... 'Oh no problem, we can seat you here is this acceptable?' Wow Such gracious professionalism and courtesy, the entire staff was like that. Even the table bussers who went around refilling waters and clearing plates had the same level of service. Our waitress was very attentive and pleasant with a smile that lit the table. She took our drink and appetizer requests. At one point my friend had switched to a different drink on a refill and the bar made a mistake. She was so gracious about it and corrected it without missing a step. Just awesome service. For an appetizer we started with some calamari. It was very tender, not chewy at all. It came with a spicy Green Goddess dipping sauce that had a bit of heat. The Truffle Fries were done nicely with truffle oil and parmesan sprinkled over all. I found them to be tasty with a nice light outer crisp and not oily. The truffle flavor was a unique taste and went well with the parmesan. The Wagyu Burger on a Brioche Bun was outstanding. The beef flavor was very pronounced and barely needed any seasoning. It came with melted cheese, lettuce, onion and fresh cucumber instead of pickle. The cucumber was sliced extremely thin and brought an aromatic flavor to the burger that was superb, just a very fine and refreshing fragrant flavor of fresh cucumber. The Truffle Fries appetizer was so good I also had it with the Wagyu Burger. The Wagyu Burger itself is cooked with 'pink' or 'no pink'. An interesting choice. The Dulce De Leche cheesecake was creamy, smooth and flavorful with a fantastic caramel drizzle. Fresh thin sliced strawberries were layered on top for an amazing flavor profile with a white chocolate and caramel swirl cheesecake. We visited for quite a while, we were not rushed, the seating was comfortable. Pleasant background music played overhead and the lighting wasn't too dim or intrusively bright.

    Best steak I've ever had

    Amazing food and service, it's so beautiful inside and outside. You can tell that they spent time cooking and plating every dish.

    Happy hour tavern chips. The cheese dip is quite good!

    We visited Gordon Tavern for Happy Hour on a home game day so we expected it to be packed but we were seated right away. The rest of our service was quite slow despite it not actually being that busy but our server was friendly. They really have a good happy hour menu. The food was all pretty good and we got out of there for around $40 for two drinks and 3 happy hour items. I would definitely visit for Happy Hour again (really want to try their pizza).

    glare from terrible lighting

    We had below average food and service on a quiet summer night. The calamari was too-tiny rings with greasy batter slightly overcooked and paired with a heavy mayo sauce. Pork chop, as others have noted, was covered in a cloying sweet brown gravy and served with runny mashed potatoes and crunchy veg. Salmon was also overpowered by a lemon-butter goo and served with ghastly salty arancini balls - would have been better with plain wild rice. Kitchen here seems in disarray. Old fashioned was also too sweet and lacked proper size single ice ball so even the bar is sloppy. Service was beyond slow, despite only a couple other tables. And although we sat inside the doors were open so we were pestered by flies the whole time. The lighting here is horrific - bare light bulbs at full intensity set very low give it the feeling of a stage.

The pizzas and salad we had were top tier. Locally sourced ingredients perfectly prepared. I'll be back to try the rest. You order at the counter and pick up your drinks right away. They were really helpful with our questions since it was our first time. someone is bringing the drinks up to you as soon as you order. Within minutes of choosing a table our freshly prepared salad was already there. A few minutes later our pizzas were delivered. Keep note to maybe let the pizza sit a couple minutes because they are piping hot! Even if you aren't hungry, come here for the beers and craft cocktails. There are a lot of great breweries in Eugene and this is one of them. I took the bartenders suggestion and it was really good. Many options in Eugene and this one should be on your list.

However, the crust was way too thin toward the middle of the pizza to even hold the toppings. It just flopped over. It was maybe a mm thick?? Toward the outer half of the circle, the dough was good consistency and quite delicious. The arugula salad was nice. With some orange slices and lots of cubes of beets, pickled red onions and sunflower seeds. Too much oil in the lemon vinaigrette IMO since it all tasted a bit oily. The beers were excellent. Service good (order at counter and they will bring it to you). Parking in the neighborhood, a bit sketchy.

Because it was a 12 inch...and because of the oven the pizza came out perfectly. It was midmorning, so the place wasn't packed yet, and I needed a bite before I got on the road. I wanted some light pizza in this place made an exceptional sausage pizza with olives and onions called the Brooklyn. I requested fresh basil to be added. Kyle offered me a glass of water while I waited and then told me about their happy hour which goes from 2 to 5 and four of the pizzas are discounted and the beer on top is also reduced in price. Briefly stepped out into the parking lot for a minute and a stranger stopped and offered me a beautiful single rose. It was a lovely surprise and made my crazy morning easier. When I went inside a really delicious hot pizza -- made with the thin crust I like -- was ready for me to take with me. When I open the box the smell was actually so irresistible I ate a slice before I left. Don't forget to check out the Lego display by the door and someone there loves plants and the plants know it bc they are thriving! Hey Neighbor is a great place to come for pizza and a welcoming vibe. Thanks Kyle!
