Have been back a few times and the food is consistently good. I have a hard time not getting a burger, because they are always excellent. My fiancé got the Mac attack (which I've been wanting to try) and it was excellent as well. The garlic ranch is still fantastic. Great food for a good price, and friendly staff- definitely don't look past this place! read more

The Houndstooth, formally known as the Duck Inn, is an absolute gem! I am not opposed to dive bars with dive bar food, which is what the Duck Inn was prior to its new itiration. In fact the missus, friends and I spent many nights enjoying the mediocre food and copius amounts of affordable libations one might expect from a once-upon-a cool bar. We loved Duck Inn. As time oft' leads to, we moved out of the area and had not visited in the last 4 years! In that time an old bar found new life! At least in the food since you won't see much change in the atmosphere itself. The menu was well thought out with a variety of burgers, sammies, and appetizers. Many items you would see on a regular bar menu, but there were some atypical items as well, the made to order chicharrónes, smoked hot-wings, rusty sliders (sliders on smoked jalapeno biscuits), or crab cake po boi for example. I had the wings which came out nice and crispy with THE original buffalo sauce which is simply Franks hot sauce and butter. As a side I ordered the the chicharrónes and 1/2 a 6th Street Salad. the skins were still crackling when they arrived, and the slad was clearly NOT from a bag. Fresh cucumbers, carrots, and a great spicy ranch as dressing on the side. I skipped the pickled beets. The meal was excellent!! Especially since I am on Keto. The rest of the table marveled at the quality of their food as well, especially the burger ... well seasoned and prepared perfectly! Give them a try! I know I will return when in the neighborhood. Those sliders will be calling my name as soon as I get a Ket reset day! read more

I see this place came highly rated, so maybe it was an off night. There was no table service. We ordered from the bartender. The food came out and while the wings were (spicy but) good and the tacos were OK, the macaroni and cheese that someone had raved about was inedible. It was just a bowl of gloppy melted cheese with some overcooked macaroni in it. I love cheese, and this was gross. My husband went to pay and was going to tell the bartender about the mac & cheese, but the bartender was talking to other people and paying no attention. read more

After seeing the stellar reviews of houndstooth I knew I had to try! I called up my lunch buddy and we headed down there. First of all for those wondering like I was, it's across from Jack in the box on 6th between chambers and Garfield. We walked in and were immediately greeted by Becky . She was friendly and helpful and gave us a quick rundown of the history! It was kind of cool! Turns out the owner is actually the chef! The food was great! My friend and I split the bb king burger and the Mac n cheese. My only complaint which was a small one is that the burger needed some lettuce and fixings as well as it was a bit over cooked (not hockey puck but not medium well) but the flavor was spot on with well seasoned beef and yummy caramelized onions. The Mac was oowey gooey and delicious we had our with bacon I highly recommend! The Moscow mule was delicious and not too citrusy! read more

Awesome menu. Great food! Lots of activities in the bar (pool, darts, tvs, etc) A fun place for sure! read more

We entered the bar excited about the 5-star rating. There were people at the bar eating, including a woman with a dog in her lap. No one greeted us, so we took a seat at a table. After 5 minutes we moved to the bar, thinking we might not have the restaurant's routine correct. The bar tenders never acknowledged our presence. After ten minutes we left wondering what just happened? What kind of place treats customers like that? There was no service at all! read more

Food and service was great. Tried the special, a Croque Monsieur and it was pretty good. Service was outstanding.

The Houndstooth was great! It had the feel of a cozy bar and the food was anything but your basic bar food. Everything we ate was excellent, the service was top notch and the prices were outstanding! Can't wait to come back again! read more

Great staff enjoyable atmosphere excellent food and decent prices. I'm definitely coming back another time maybe to watch a Ducks game.

Delicious burgers and French dip. Friendly staff and a super chill vibe. We went at 10:00 after a show in search of a late dinner and it didn't disappoint. read more

I have been here a couple of times for lunch and it has been great! The food is excellent and reasonably priced compared to other places in Eugene. It has not been busy when I went but is was around 11:30. The bartender was also the server. Service was quick and he did check in once during the meal. I plan to visit every time I am in town. I would like to put back a few frosty cold ones here but just haven't had the opportunity yet.......key word yet....... I will check in when I do read more

Bubba Clubba - had it last night for the first time... and it was great! A heaping mound of tots in the middle, my sando 1/4 on the outside and a nice dill pickle cut in half. From the perfectly toasted sourdough bread to the bacon and garlic aioli - another tasty treasure from this place! We arrived at 11pm and got an hour of darts in, ate our incredible food and threw back a few of our favorite beverages! All served to us by a very pleasant and smiling bar tender not eager to close his bar, but very happy to serve his customers! Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful! Maybe we start going twice a week now... read more

Excellent food. Excellent service. Excellent prices. We had dinner here after having read the reviews. They were spot on. We prefer an amber ale and were happy that there was one on tap. My husband's shroom burger was juicy and deliciou and fries were crispy My Mac and cheese was decantedly cheesy. And a literal bulletin to the heart with the added bacon as suggested by our waiter. It was all balanced out by the fresh salad with delicious toppings. And our server was as so friendly and attentive. We'll definitely be back. read more

Far from a fancy place but we wanted a good hamburger. The hamburgers were delicious as well as the onion rings & fries. They were short staffed it took a while to get waited on. There appeared to be two waitresses & they were busy with the bar but friendly service once she came to our table. If we go again we will order at the bar. The cook uses a garlic aioli on the bun, I prefer mayo & mustard. Overall good experience & food. read more

A warm neighborhood bar, with some of the best food in the area, and friendly, attentive staff. Had the Thursday special - the Royale with Cheese - one of the best burgers I've EVER had. LUDICROUSLY good. The mac and cheese was super cheesy and the tots were very light and crunchy. Definitely coming back. read more

I ordered through Grubhub and this was my first experience eat their food. Omg it was the best burger I've had in a long time! And the portions of the tots and rings were huge. I'll definitely be ordering from them again! read more

We were in town for an event. We tried to find a place with local color whenever we travel. Primarily use Yelp reviews to help us identify a good place. We found the food here was absolutely delicious. Very surprising for what appears to be a pub. We will be back if we're ever through town again. read more

Had to be in Eugene to pick up a friend at the airport, and decided to do Wednesday Karaoke and have something to eat. The food was Great the Bartenders were pleasant, The KJ, Wren was very friendly and courteous. There was a mixture of genres of music, and the customers were receptive and enthused by the performances. All and all, definitely a good place to hang out.​ read more

The onion rings were awesome, and I was too full to finish my burger. The food was quite good, but nothing to write home about. I also was not comfortable with my sticky table and the pool table players so close to the register. Due to what I hope was a very specific and unforeseen scenario, I did not get my food for forty five minutes. I will not be going back, but anyone else, feel free to enjoy. read more

We had lunch and were impressed. The service was quick and attentive. The wings were delicious and the BBQ burger was yummy. Looking forward to going back to try more items on the menu. Thank you! read more

I think that this place will surprise most people who walk in here. From the outside it looks like a pretty average location. Inside it looks to me a little like a time capsule back a few decades but once you order the food? Wow, what a surprise. Everything I have tried here has been cooked very well, has good flavor and is visually appealing. Anyone who reads my reviews may see that I am pretty hard to please but this unassuming place did it for me. I would certainly say that this place is somewhere to go if you are looking for good, honest, tasty food. read more

Walked in to try this place based on earlier reviews. Was a sunny Sunday and the place was not busy. Upon walking in after holding the door for an elderly couple, the Mgr,/owner blew past me and huffily closed the door as it did not have a self closure device. The look I got convinced me to turn around and never come back. Nice first impression of their alleged hospitality.. read more

Great staff, great food and good vibe. Their burgers on Thursday are amazing. Great happy hour too.

My Husband and I recently got Houndstooth for dinner through delivery and its ok. My husband got the BB King Burger and I got the shroom Burger. Both were generous portion sizes with the size of the Burger and with the amount of Tots/Fries that were included. The burgers were both dry, which was sad since both did have sauce on them. The fries and tots were supposed to be spicy but had no flavor. Overall good portion sizes and good prices but mediocre meal. read more

Went here tonight for a quick bite with my dad. He was happy with their awesome IPA selection. The food was really good. I had the Duke burger which has onion rings, bacon, bbq sauce, and cheese. It was delicious as were the tots which I dipped in their awesome ranch. My dad had the OG burger and beer and cheddar soup. He enjoyed them both. They had a lot of TVs with sports on and Keno. They have darts and a pool table too. It is a little dive bar-ish but that should not stop you from going in. Ross waited on us. He was welcoming and gave great service. Check them out! read more

In Eugene for one night staying at a hotel. Craving a salad of substance along with sandwich and that's exactly what we got from Houndstooth. The salad was beautiful field greens, beets, carrots, red onions, tomatoes, cucumbers, croutons and we chose the delish home made French dressing. A large size was huge and plenty for two to share. We also ordered the French dip and tots and YUM - delish bread, meat and horse sauce. I searched on yelp for a full hour plus before picking a place for our to go dinner. No plastic packaging is impt to me and they do not use plastics. Our order was ready on time and we highly recommend if you are looking for salad and a sandwich. The next time in the area we will try their burgers. Pricing is also very reasonable which is hard to find these days. Thank you yelp for directing me to Houndstooth!! We ate the salad so fast that I was only able to snap a photo of the French dip. We are so full and saving the tots - huge portions! read more

Houndstooth Public House - French Dip and tots - Pubs Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

This is the best dive bar in Eugene. Great atmosphere, they have pool tables, shuffle board, golden tee, and plenty of tvs, but the best part is the food. The menu is small, but in a good way, everything is excellent and the specials are amazing. Best bar food in Eugene. read more

Just moved to this end of town and wanted to check this place out for a new (to me) local sports bar. So many TVs, great beers, mixed drinks and the food is stupidly good. Not a massive selection of food, but more than enough, and exactly what you need in a sports bar. Special mention to the Bartender Nicky who served us today. She was great at recs and answering questions. Will definitely be back. read more

I wish I took pictures but we dug in too fast. We had the jerk wings, club sandwich, Mac and cheese, spicy tots, and chicken strips. It was fantastic. The jerk flavor was awesome. Warm like a hug. The chicken strips were the best we ever had. The ranch is fire! Everything was amazing and can't wait to eat there again. read more

This place is soooo good and super underrated. I got the burger and tots, it was so good. Burger was melt in your mouth and perfect temp which was super cool. The tots weren't to spicy and the garlic aloli is super garlicky which I love. I'd for sure suggest this place to a burger lover. read more

This place is such a gem. The food is absolutely phenomenal, and much better than I can get in most restaurants around town. This place might be my favorite burger period. I never even liked burgers that much before, and I dream about this burger. The fries are fantastic, the salads are fresh, the Caesar salad comes with a poached egg...there are so many good things. Also the ambiance is great, lots of TVs to watch any game you like, a fun sci-fi channel with weird old movies, pool tables, and even some arcade games. It's in a little bit of a weird location for a bar, but totally worth the drive from wherever you are coming from. read more

Don't be fooled by the mild mannered tavern exterior. This place has amazing food. I highly recommend the onion rings with the homemade sauce, actually I highly recommend everything I've eaten here. read more

Best burger in town at an unbeatable price; similar pubs are starting to charge upwards $16-17 for a cheeseburger. Bartenders here are all super friendly and the karaoke on Wednesdays with Bre is a big ol' blasty blast. read more

We are from out of town. Had a look on yelp and gave this place a try. The food was excellent. My wife had a gluten free bun and said it was a really good burger. Fry sauce was on point! And service was excellent. Great lunch!! read more

Don't sleep on this place! It was different to see it was pretty much an eat in bar, but that made it even more entertaining with the pool tables and casino machines. Thee burgers were FIRE. I got the OG and my husband got the shrooms dude burger. The Pattie's were cooked to our liking and the bread, chefs kiss. Another winner was the crab cakes. bruh, if only I could tell you how fast We ate those bad boys up. Wasn't too much a fan of the onion rings but the tots were good. Service was great and fast. I'd definitely come back. read more

I'll never go back. Got there about 12:30. Only one waitress, took a while to take our order. I wanted the crab sandwich, they were out. OK. I'll have the cheddar jalapeno sliders, nope. out. I opted for a small caesar. Gooey dressing and tons of croutons. Nope. My friend got the French dip, the bread was soggy even before she dipped it in the aujus. Nope. read more

As I walked in I was greeted by the man over the pa and as I went to the bar for a pickup order I was greeted by the bartender. The man over the pa said a terrible joke and I remarked "wow" which the bartender thought was directed towards her and she looked at me and said "you can't wait now" in the bitchiest attitude possible. I then explained how it was not towards her or her service, guess it wasn't good enough for her cause she then got more attitude and said "now you really gonna wait". And the. Proceeded to take everyone else's order before even coming back to me. She then referred me to as child and after she gave me my order she told me to "go away child". Safe to say even if I wanted a drink this would be the last destination. And it's not hard to see why the place was dead, maybe hire someone who isn't self centered. read more

The Caesar salad is one of the best I've had! Perfectly done. Burgers, wings, and tots were really good too.

We brought our 3 kids with us. Food was amazing. And the bar tender was super friendly!

The food here is amazing and is a great affordable option! I love this place and recommend it to everyone I know!
