Veggie burger with House Potato Chips
Sophie S.

Very cute spot on the waterfront! Went for a Saturday lunch, and you order at the bar which took awhile with one bartender/cashier. I got the Poké Bowl which was very fresh and tasty. The bowl made it a little hard to mix the ingredients in, but that's my only criticism. My friend order the Veggie burger with cheese. She said the sandwich was flavorful, however would've subbed the Potato Chips next time since they were overly seasoned. Definitely will have to come and try some other dishes!

Frickles--They are frickin' good!
DeAnne V.

This place looks amazing. It's has a lot of charm and a lot of nooks for cozy seating. The menu looks great and there are plenty of cocktails to choose from. Note: you order your food at the bar so don't expect the busy waitstaff to track you down to order. The frickles were the fan favorite of the night with a tasty batter and a deliciously spicy sauce. The burger was also good and the egg perfectly cooked but the chicken sandwiches were "meh." The size was pretty generous but the chicken was over fried, giving it an unpleasant charred taste. The roasted sandwich was much better, but a little dry. We will return because the overall impact was positive, but we will try something else in the menu. I should also note that the lone floor waitstaff was pulled in a lot of different directions but she remained friendly and approachable. Kudos to her for wrangling the wants of a full room! Three sammies with fries, an app, two cocktails, and a soda= $88 before the tip.

What a great little find in the Pacific Northwest's gastronomical offerings in Corvallis, OR! Take a moment to stop by, check out the local delights, have a meal, a drink or three... and enjoy yourself!

Beastie Boys!?!  WOW!

The Brass Monkey is more of a pub like eatery. There is a decent menu with very good food and a full bar that also offers specialty drinks. It definitely has that 'College Town' feel. Grab a menu at the door, seat yourself, order and pay at bar, this place is a modernist throwback to the 70's & 80s. The overhead music is also of the era including hits from British Punk, Americana and the like. The walls are decorated with skateboard memorabilia, Elvis is there, Bruce Lee, vintage photos.. The burgers come with house made chips. You can upgrade to those fantastic battered fries though. The chips are fantastic homemade seasoned slices of potatoes that come in a generous portion. They really are unique in that you will not find any chips anywhere with this semi salty semi barbecue flavor. They have to be experienced to understand the flavor profile. The loaded fries came in a crispy batter, pieces of bacon, a dollop of sour cream and chives with melted cheese. This is an appetizer that is huge. Share it or you take the rest home, it is a large portion. I had the Pub burger. It came out with a nice beef flavor and not over seasoned. I like the mix of a hot beef patty with cold crisp fresh shredded lettuce, tomato and onion on a seedless bun. It wasn't so oversized that you couldn't pick it up. It was nice to have a burger that wasn't totally messy. It was well constructed and very flavorful. The staff are very friendly and the atmosphere is inviting. I would definitely go back.

pulled pork taco
Ann N.

i came here and it was pretty packed but we luckily found a nice spot. we ordered at the counter and seated ourselves. the food was alright. i enjoyed the truffle fries, which were perfectly crisp and had a good flavor. the pulled pork taco was okay. it didn't have much flavor besides the sauce. this was not the most mind-blowing meal but it was good nourishment.

Mac and cheese
Danielle N.

Good food and good prices. Got the mac and cheese. It was tasty. Nice vibes in the summer being able to sit outside. You do have to order at the bar but outdoor seating is nice.

Great food, drinks, and soundtrack to dinner. Casual enough for families, drinks enough for a night out with adults.

Great variety on their menu, especially the unique salad meals, fresh ingredients and combinations…read more(mine was spinach, avocados, peppadew peppers, gorgonzola and crispy fried onions). The sweet potato fries as an appetizer set the mood perfectly, done to perfection. Others in my party had various burgers and sandwiches and everyone was pleased. The dining room is open and airy with large windows and plenty of spacing between the booths and tables. Comfortable for our noisy group, yet not infringing on other diners. The food was prepared quickly and served hot. Shout out to our server, Kiley B. a very pleasant young lady. She was efficient, friendly and professional and made our Ladies Lunch outing feel welcome. The perfect place to have a good meal on a rainy Oregon afternoon. Highly recommended.

The place is huge, with multiple seating areas and bars, and we were immediately greeted and seated on the enclosed balcony with heaters -- super comfortable. Ordering from the table via the app was easy and convenient, and our food came out quickly. We had the clam chowder, fries, and a beer -- all delicious! By the time we finished, the place was buzzing and there was a long wait, but it's so spacious that it never felt crowded. Great atmosphere, good food, and excellent service -- we'll definitely be back next time we're in town!

He decided to try the sandwich. I got the boneless wings with hot sauce and we ordered Cajun tater tots to share. When we went to pick up, I was greeted right away, promptly checked out, and we were a little early, so the food wasn't quite ready. Several waitresses came by to check in with me while I waited and that was great to know they were on top of our order. Got home and opened all of our goods and were surprised at the generous portion sizes!! The chicken fried steak on the sandwich was pretty big, and my husband enjoyed it a lot. He said the only thing missing was a side of gravy. Noted for next time, order a side of gravy. The boneless wings were great. The hot sauce has a nice kick, but also a sweet undertone (apple or pineapple, perhaps?) that I really enjoyed. I could only eat half of the wings because the portion size was so big. I'm saving them for a midnight snack. The large Cajun tater tots were also generously portioned. We could only eat half of them, so they are also being saved for later. The Cajun seasoning is great. Not overdone and not too spicy (we were a little worried because my husband doesn't eat anything spicy) but he devoured them and said they were awesome. All in all, we'll definitely be back. We didn't drink, but it looked like a great atmosphere and they had a great selection of drinks, from what I saw. Good music playing, too.

We got here at 11:40am, ordered shortly thereafter, it's now 12:58pm and we still haven't received…read moreour food. Don't know what our food will take like...

We walked in the door and there were two guys at the bar. That was it, and football had already started. My wife and I thought we just beat the crowd. Nope. We walked in and the bartender took a minute or two to greet us. Wearing a Bears Jersey he asked if I was a Bears fan and if I would like him to turn on the game. Yes of course. It was weird we walked into the dining area and every tv had the same game on, with the exception of now the one that had the Bears game. To me if you are paying for the NFL ticket you should at least make an effort to turn more than one on. Next we sat down and it was order at the bar so my wife got back up to place the order. Mind you still two people working(one bartender and one lady was wiping down tables) and two people at the bar(I think they actually worked there but were not working). No one was friendly. She placed an order for a glass of prosecco, a miller lite, 8 wings, and a house salad. $50!!!! We asked for waters and they just pointed over to the water station. Both people walked by our table multiple times no nothing, no comments, no "hey, how is everything," nothing. I thought this place would be a great place that people would come out and watch football, or any sport, but I can see why it was empty. Terrible service, horrific prices. I'm only bumping the stars up to two because the lemon pepper wings were actually pretty good. We were going to order more, but after getting the initial bill we paid and walked across the street to Tommy's for an actual breakfast. Buyers beware, cool concept that has potential, but all around executed terribly.
