    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.

    Veggie burger with House Potato Chips

    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!

    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!

    pulled pork taco

    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.

    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.

    Food is always great! Unique flavors but run out of favorites routinely. Tight space and always a line.

    A fun little bar, good vibes, nice drink selection. More than just a college bar. The only drawback is it's small size

    Good day Yelpies!! Imagine a place that not only makes…read moregreat food but will tantalize your taste buds. If you haven't experienced this before then this is a great place to start. Everything on our plates complemented the steak and fish. Both were cooked perfectly and literally melted in our mouths. I've been in the food industry for years and have found a place that really knows food and the process to make it an experience. I almost forget the server who took the time to help us with our food choices and drinks. Get in here my friends. You won't be disappointed Cheers The Dutchman

    If I could give Craves more than five stars, I absolutely would. From the moment I stepped in, I…read morecould tell this place takes dessert seriously--and the marionberry cheesecake? A full-blown masterpiece. This isn't your average slice of cheesecake. What Craves serves is a velvety, rich, and luxuriously whipped creation perched atop pillowy-soft brioche toast that's lightly crisped to perfection. It's drizzled in a deep marionberry reduction that strikes the perfect balance between tart and sweet, and topped with plump, juicy blackberries that taste like they were picked fresh that morning. Add in the subtle crunch of a graham cracker crumble dusted over the whole plate, and you've got a dessert that's indulgent, elegant, and dangerously addictive. The texture contrast between the creamy cheesecake filling, the light toast, and the rich berry drizzle is unforgettable. It's like French toast met cheesecake, fell in love, and had a baby--with Oregon marionberries blessing the union. Whether you're a local or just passing through Corvallis, make Craves your dessert destination. I'll be coming back for another round (or three) of this marionberry magic. Bravo to the team--this place is a sweet tooth's dream!
