    the front of the building

    This local watering hole isn't much to look at, but the food is really good and the staff is friendly. The BLT with tots was perfect and enough food for 2-3 people. The cheese burger was an overall good bar burger and the fries were great. I would definitely go back.

    Our experience here was very "good not great" food was good, relatively simple. The bartender made the experience kind of odd, we probably won't go back but not a bad option for a Sunday lunch for us.

    I came in here recently with a friend for lunch, and greatly looking forward to it as I've heard really good things about the food! On a weekday during lunch time, the place was pretty dead- just the way we like it, lol. My friend and I hadn't seen each other in a while and knew we had a lot of talking to do, so we didn't feel too bad about monopolizing a table for several hours when there were plenty open. Houndstooth has that dark pub feel. A few windows stream in light but, otherwise, it's easy to not know the time of day while inside. There's TVs, a Golden Tee game, I think I spotted so pool tables on the other side maybe? Definitely a chill place to hang out in any form. Now for the food: The BB King burger was bomb! I'm a sucker for blue cheese on any burger. The fries weren't anything special. I did opt for "regular" fries and not the Cajun ones since I wanted to save a few to take back to my daughter. Maybe they would have been more exciting with the added spice! I really want to go back and try their Caesar salad after reading more reviews. Sounds like a hit.

    I can't even believe how good the food is here, they could easily just be a restaurant. 10/10 would recommend. We have a circuit of places we go to when we are in Eugene. Izumi, Sabai, Osteria DOP, Bar Purlieu, Sweet Life and Houndstooth are the usual suspects. This place is just the best bar food I've ever had anywhere not just Eugene. I want to comeback for the Friday night dinner special sometime. We love to get dinner here and also play pool!

    Tried it based on the reviews and was really happy with the quality of the food and prices. The food was fantastic for a bar. It's clear they make an effort to deliver fresh from scratch food. The onion rings are clearly made in house which was a shock. They were fantastic. The chicken wings were also large in size and well fried and flavored with a traditional homemade Buffalo Sauce. The side salad was as large as a regular salad and came with nicely balanced blue cheese dressing also clearly made in house. The only negative comment about the food is more service related. The tater tots came out hot while everything else was just warm. So clearly timing was off in kitchen while waiting for the tots to deep fry. The burgers were also well done and a bit dry; we had ordered them medium. Drinks were well poured and priced very very well. Service was a bit slow and they were seemingly a bit overwhelmed. In the post Covid era, I appreciate they are probably facing staffing issues like everywhere so I'm letting it go as attention to other detail was clearly there. This is a 5* place but gave them 4* until they can address the service related problems. If Yelp allowed for half stars, I'd have given 4.5 for quality of food, pours and the really reasonable prices.

    What a fun family night. I love that they allow all ages to come to drag bingo at 5pm on…read moreSaturdays. There were so many families enjoying time together. Some of the other reviews were negative on their food...but our food was fantastic. The burgers were moist and not greasy. The waffle cut fries were hot and crispy.

The decor is a D&D dive bar scene....so many things to look at as you wait for bingo to start. They just changed the rules and you do have to pay $1.00 per person to play bingo...but where else can you get that type of entertainment for a dollar. We can't wait to return.

Last time we came for brunch, we noticed the eggs Benedict no longer has the amazing Parmesan-crusted potatoes. The hollandaise is still decent and the focaccia bread is great, but losing that crispy crust was a big bummer. Today's visit for our usual wings and nachos was even more frustrating. First, they no longer offer ground beef for the nachos. We were told we could substitute steak, but that literally doubles the price of the dish. We opted for chicken instead, which was a steep $7 extra for maybe two ounces of meat. When the nachos arrived, they looked like low-effort, homemade oven nachos with just melted cheddar on top. The whole thing was fused together into one giant sheet of chips; we had to break it apart and manually pile the toppings back onto the chips ourselves. It was really weird. The biggest letdown, though, was the wings. It used to be a solid order of six traditional flats and drums. Today, we paid $14 for just four pieces, and they weren't even wings--they were frenched chicken thighs. Subbing a completely different, lower-quality cut of meat without telling the customer is false advertising, and they turned out dry. Plus, the sauce has changed from a traditional Frank's-style buffalo to a harsh cayenne sauce. Between the wings and the nachos, today's total came out to $34--and $40 with a tip. Paying premium prices for dry thigh meat, overpriced add-ons, and a block of fused-together nachos makes it really hard to justify coming back. I'm not sure if North Fork got bought out or what, but I really don't see a point in returning.

It's less than 1% of the places I visit that are true beer clean glassware astute. There are many that do a good job, but when you see the lacing on glassware that I saw tonight, you know you're in rarified air. FOOD: ok I know most people don't need out over glassware the way I do so let's discuss the food - I went more unique with a lamb sausage and a boar sausage, plus my new friends next to me shared their fries. My opinion? Awesome. Well executed sausage, the fries were really good - crisp on the outside and still perfect potato texture inside while being hot with a fry sauce side that perfectly complemented Service was great, met regulars, had tasty food - but the whale in this adventure was the care for the glassware. This is special - the owner truly cares about your experience when they nail the small details a lot of folks miss. I didn't miss this detail because it's massive in the nuance on your beer but takes special care and pride to get right. Bangers takes pride in giving you a beer in a properly maintained glass, and that's uniquely special. Applause to Bangers for attention to detail!
