Stopped in for dinner service. Right off the bat I noticed the good atmosphere, and some card games in the corner for us nerds which was a pleasant surprise. The beer/liquor/cider was excellent and they have a wide variety from around the globe. Unfortunatly, our service was really lacking. Our waiter seemed really frazzled. We managed to make it halfway through our meal with out napkins. Which would have been fine, but we had all ordered bugers. The burgers were good, very meaty but a little on the dry side. I think the biggest disappointment was the fries. The fries are presented in a small cute little bucket and the top layer of them are alright. However, the vast majority of the fries had were soaked in oil and burnt to a crisp. My advice, stick to the bar. read more

Caves Corvallis - Beer Bar Near Me - Corvallis, Oregon

Les Caves is a nice place to eat in Corvallis when you feel like something a little nicer than Block 15, but not anything too fancy either. One huge plus is it's not quite as crowded as Block 15, although on a Friday night you can end up waiting a little while for a table. They have a HUGE selection of bottled beers from around the world, and a hefty selection of beers on tap (the varieties rotate frequently). They also have wine, a nice selection of hard ciders, and wiskey. The food is always pretty good. I especially love their fries with the homemade aioli. One down side is they used to change their menu almost daily, but now they're changing it seasonally. It used be if I was considering going there I'd look online and see what they have that day then make my decision. But now, I know what's on the menu and I honestly don't love any of their current choices and now I have to wait until winter for them to change it. The desert is always great. AND their brunch on the weekends (complete with LARGE mimosas) is a great bet. Waffles are excellent. read more

Nice. Nice. Nice. Great atmosphere. Breakfast is gooey good. Drinks are free flowing. The bar is a nice long length. Window seats with tall chairs. Perfect to swing into before heading to a movie at The Darkside. The pretzels are phenomenal. The staff is delightful. I love the location of this little joint. I wish the hours were longer. Fun for intimate conversations with your loved one. Different menu items and a nice variety. Go there. Go there now. read more

Les Caves has an excellent beer and wine selection. However, the only dish we enjoyed was the cheese plate. We had the mussels, gnocchi and the lasagna special, and they were all very bland with no flavor whatsoever. We had the waffle for dessert, and it was a little dry and burnt. The reason I went was because the reviews were quite good, but I was really disappointed. read more

Iconic Corvallis location, with amazing food & great service. One of those places where you're tempted to give a negative review just to keep the crowds down so you can get a table! (I would never. But it's tempting.) Had brunch there yesterday; the challah French toast was perfect and I wound up sneaking half my mom's Denver hash with Yukon potatoes and perfect over easy eggs as well. We made it in just as the morning rush was ending and there was a bit of a wait for our food - we didn't mind, because our great server (Zach) was extremely attentive and apologetic (unnecessary, as we should all know patience is key when you're grabbing Sunday brunch at a busy, high quality location), keeping us updated and checking in with us often to let us know that our food WAS on the way and we hadn't been forgotten :) Fantastic experience, as always. read more

My favorite bar and eating place. They have some interesting but not weird foods. They have a plethora of beers, sours, lambecs. They change their drink menu often so it is hard to sometimes get your favorite. Their breakfast on the weekend is really yummy too. read more

Let me start out by saying this is my favorite spot in Corvallis. The tap, bottle, and bourbon selection is by far the best in 50 miles. The dinner is great - a little pricy but worth it! And the happy hour cant be beat. This post is mostly about the brunch. If you get the higher priced items - stuffed french toast, chicken and waffles, eggs bene - you won't run in to a problem. However, the diner-style dishes are extremely inconsistent and usually bland. That being said, i will continue to go there. read more

We've been here twice now, late morning on Saturday. Some of the food has been quite good, some not so much, but okay. The service unfortunately continues to be particularly un-endearing, and I have some recommendations. Forgetting to put in all of someone's order is bad. If you can't remember all of it, write it down. I don't want part of my meal now and the rest 10 minutes later. Serving barely warm food that is meant to be served hot is bad. Waffles, for instance should be pretty warm, if not hot. Don't bring one out to a customer if it's not hot enough to melt butter that is already room temp. If someone gives you food and asks for it to be reheated, food you should not have served cold in the first place, food that should not take long at all to reheat...Do Not come back out of that kitchen till you have their food back in your hand ready to be returned to them. Do Not come back out and futz around at another table, whose occupants have already eaten, while someone else is waiting in mid-meal for you to make something right. Don't recommend a special to someone if said special is clearly mediocre. And a couple of real basics...don't make people ask for salt & pepper (at least not if you're the only server and you're going to keep disappearing into the back for several minutes at a time). And when people are eating breakfast, keep the coffee coming. Don't wait till their cups are empty to bring out the refills. If they'd been really busy while we were there I would be forgiving of these things, but there were only 4 tables occupied, and two of them already had their food when we arrived. This place has a lot going for it, but they need a bit more discipline and training for (at least some of) their servers. read more

Just a fun place to get food and drinks. Especially if just snacking you can get an amazing pretzel and a beer.

This place was an absolute delight. Everything about it--the food, the beer, the staff, the ambience. De-light-ful. I suppose if you like standard brew pubs or Olive Garden then it'll seem weird, but if you like your nights out to be a little different then please for the love of God put yourself in their capable hands. read more

I've been yelping for a while and have generally been quite pleased with the dining experiences I've had as a result of reading yelp reviews, but this is only my second 5 star rating. We took our daughters and their guy pals for a pre-Valentine's happy hour Sunday night. I had not been here before (live in Portland metro) and the first of our party to arrive got the best seating available. Yes, at 4:30 on a Sunday afternoon, the house was comfortably full -- always a good sign. Our waitress Ashley was pleasant and knowledgeable, taking time to answer our questions about the many liquid offerings and brought us several samples of unfamiliar Bavarian style beers. The seating worked for our first round of beverages and appetizers, but our astute waitress realized our cozy accommodations would not handle a dozen + appetizer plates, beer bottles, water glasses and what have you, and nabbed 2 tables as they emptied, moved them together, and us into them. I was impressed. The dining was very relaxed and social with small plates and beverages coming and going. We stuck to the happy hour menu: my own choices of beer pretzels with cheese sauce and mustard, mussels, spinach salad, and chocolate torte were all wonderful. The beer selection -- both draught and bottle -- was almost overwhelming. We all parted happily THREE happy hours later! I will definitely return. read more

Went here for brunch on a Saturday. My boyfriend and I both got chicken and waffles and shared garlic potatoes. I've never been one for sweet chicken so I don't typically get chicken and waffles, but I thought I'd give it a try and man am I glad I did. Some of the best fried chicken I've had in a very long time. The waffle was good but a little too sweet for me between their house sweetened butter and maple syrup- although my boyfriend really enjoyed the waffle. Potatoes were average, couldn't taste the garlic unless we rubbed the potato in the dish it was served in, as if the potatoes hadn't themselves been cooked with garlic which was mildly disappointing for me. Excited to come again for more chicken and to try their other menu items. read more

This is our favorite brunch in Corvallis. The brunch food is very good, the staff is very friendly and attentive, the beer selection is excellent, and the drinks at brunch (manmosa, spicy bloody mary) are delicious. I often judge a breakfast place by their eggs benedict, and theirs is delicious. We have been for dinner, although far less often, and the dinner food is also very good, but less outstanding than brunch. Their menu changes seasonally, and I'm very excited about the spring menu - lamb belly hash, oyster po' boy. Relaxed european tavern atmosphere. Great for people who are looking for a more intimate brew pub experience. read more

Great bang for your buck during happy hour. Food was delicious, especially the fries! Please visit my blog where I review Les Caves in greater detail! https://hungrybeaverblog.wordpress.com/2015/06/01/les-caves-bier-kitchen/ read more

I've been to this restaurant twice - once for dinner and once for just drinks. The beer selection here is fun. I am a fan of beer so that is obviously a perk for me. In addition to their ever-changing beer on tap, they also have an expansive bottle menu (which I haven't had an opportunity to order from, but I plan to do so next time I go). The food here is pretty good. I had the tri-tip sandwich which was okay. Truth be told, I am not much of a meat eater, but I wanted to try it. I would have probably liked it more if I was a huge carnivore. It wasn't bad though -- I think most people would have enjoyed. The vegetarian dish on the menu was actually delicious. They also have a late night happy hour menu! Win! My major complaint is that they really need to put a veggie burger on the menu. I would be a totally happy camper if they added that. read more

Stopped in on a Geocaching trip to the coast. Waiter 5 star Zucchini soup 5 star, outstanding Vegetables strudel - Humm, just so so. Mostly potatoes Beer selection, outstanding ;) We would absolutely recommend this place to anyone. read more

This was recommended to us when we visited Oregon. We enjoyed the ambience but the food was a little underwhelming. The service was good and friendly and they were very obliging but it did take a while for our food to come since we ordered non standard items. It was nice to enjoy and support local farmer produce read more

Came for dinner while on business. I don't drink, but I was stoked by the food. I ate dinner, and ordered fish and chips. All I can say is wow. I'm giving 5 stars, but YMMV. Our server was a bit unpleasant, but wanting to be fair I'm giving a solid 5 since we only went there once. read more

Not only was the food delicious but the service was absolutely amazing. Our waitress was so attentive and communicated with us when there was a small delay in our food and comped our drinks because of it. Nice selection of whiskeys and beer. The old fashioned! Yum! We started with the beer cheese pretzel and it was everything you could want in a pretzel. They quietly placed a jar of whole seed mustard on the table when the pretzel came and it was so good. Not too strong or overpowering. The Elk Ragu was delicious and the noodles were cooked perfectly. I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

Really nice weekend brunches and good beer selection, their burgers are not bad either! read more

Caves Corvallis - Mmm the soufflé at Les Caves is really tasty - Beer Bar Near Me - Corvallis, Oregon

This is our FAVORITE brunch stop. We love everyone who works there (they are seriously the best). If you like a good Bloody Mary this is the place. We get bloody marys wherever we go and these are still our favorites. You can get them in 3 spice levels. The super spicy is super spicy! They also have a man-mosa, but be careful it's burly. read more

High quality, well prepared, delicious food. A warm, cozy environment. Friendly, attentive staff. And a the largest selection of beers and sours in the area that I know of. It's truly massive. Very fun place for the connoisseur. read more

Love the atmosphere. Went here for brunch and ordered the chicken and waffles. The butter alone was delicious. The service was great and the food was cooked perfectly. Will definitely be returning for other meals. read more

My partner and I needed some dinner on our way back to Portland from a beautiful weekend in Newport. We were fading fast, and this place gave us the will to carry on. The main reason I wanted to leave a review is because of the service. I didn't catch our server's name, but he was so informative and gracious. My partner ordered the brisket sauerbraten, while I had the potted shrimp and a house salad. Let's talk about beets ... They're not for everyone. I get it. But the beet sauerkraut that came with the brisket was incredible. We also shared a local mead, the Waggle Wildflower Session Mead by Nectar Creek. If you like floral flavors and honey, I recommend you give this a try. I'll be on the hunt for more. read more

I was here a while back (a couple of months ago, I'd say) so some of what I had is no longer on the menu, which is pretty great since it means they change it up a bit. We initially chose to come here just to try their big pretzel, since we have Bier Stein in town, who serve an excellent, fluffy pretzel. The one from Les Caves was really overdone, so it was too hard to tell what it tasted like other than kind of burnt; I don't remember the beer cheese sauce tasting too spectacular. As far as the rest of the food goes we were satisfied: I had a roasted veggie dish with beets and lentils, we also tried the charcuterie which was done well and my date most likely had a burger although he is sitting right here and can't really remember anything other than the pretzel so I guess it wasn't very memorable. They have a nice selection of beers and we were pretty pleased with the service. I think I would have to come back here to try some other dishes, particularly the chicken and waffle or maybe some brunch items, but I have visited better places and remembered my meals fondly for a long time after. read more

First time at this little place and it was a good choice for our party of 10. We had the pretzel, some gigantic ciders, good beer and the best eggnog ever to start! Pretzels were delicious. Some of the dinners were better than others. The pork sandwich was a big disappointment as it was mostly bread, the fried foods were overdone due to the fryer oil needing to be changed, but the soufflé and ravioli were both very good. Our server was very friendly and timely, and although the food was a little long in coming out, it wasn't too long and we were a big group so that was understandable. We'd definitely come back for a second shot here if for no other reason than to have the eggnog! Amazing! read more

It's "Bier and Kitchen" not "Kitchen and Bier." The restaurant feels like a Red Lobster, "classy" cause it's all wood. The food seems an afterthought. The menu is a shotgun of cultures, will appease all crowds including the families that fill it and the buzzed college kids that drift in after Block 15 right down the street. We risked the chewy mussels and sopped the salty broth with their dense bread, heavy on the onion. Marginal, but it kept us sober as we went to work on drinks, for hours.. You'll come here for the beer. The best bottles are not for sale to go, so set aside an evening and tour Oregon's most experimental microbreweries without leaving your stool. Hard-to-find bottles from Block 15, Upright, De Garde, and Logsdon alongside some great Belgian lambic at prices that are more than fair. read more

My fiance and I came here for dinner late one night AND for brunch the next morning, and we were both totally satisfied with our meals. The food: tasty, unique, good portions, not too pricey, presented nicely, and happy hour saved us a lot of money! The drinks: On the pricier side, but solid The service: A refreshing place to eat AND get great service in Corvallis! I thought I'd never find both! The atmosphere: Cozy, familiar, friendly. Caves is my new favorite restaurant in Corvallis! read more

This place really deserves five stars, but I have to knock it down one. Our waitress offered to pour our 750ml farmhouse saison. First pour went smoothly, then the second pour, she brought the bottle up...GASP! Thanks for stirring up all that yeast. Aside from the pour mishap, I have had late night drinks and brunch there. The selection is phenomenal, I wish we had a place like this in Portland. The atmosphere reminds me of my recent beer trip to Belgium (are those pictures of Cantillon in the bathroom)?!? The food is great, service is very friendly and the beer is exceptional! read more

Sunday Sunday Sunday... Fried buttermilk chicken is the bomb, drizzled with local honey.. That's all we get when we come here along with the vegetable plate for an appetizer. Awesome, simply awesome and we will continue to get this same thing when we come. read more

I had brunch here with the family for Father's Day. They were pretty full with reservations but they allowed us to sit at an outdoor table. For a restaurant which I would not empirically judge to be kid-friendly, they went above and beyond to be accommodating to our trio which included a 3-year-old. Even the kid's menu was a page in a kid's book, which helped keep him occupied while waiting for food. The food was delicious - we tried the French toast with fresh berries, and chicken and a biscuit with serrano honey. The coffee was hot and frequently refilled, the drinks were perfect, and Aidan, our server, was excellent. We'll definitely come back, hopefully sans kiddo next time, for dinner. read more

Had the Eggs Benedict with the Veggie pattie instead of ham. It was excellent. Highly recommend. Service was excellent as well. Best breakfast in Corvallis in recent memory. read more

Amazing brunch! Went on a Sunday and had the chicken and waffles while the hubby had the eggs Benedict. Wonderful service and food. They also have a great drink menu as well. We will be back again soon! read more

One word. Brunch. This is spot. First of all, they have a delightful liquid brunch menu with several bloodymarys and mimosa options. Then their food is incredible and served in hearty portions. I've been here for dinner many times as well and love their dinner options too. Their staff are always friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend. read more

I had the pleasure of coming back to Le Caves for dinner a few nights ago. I was just as impressed as my first visit. I think our only complaint was the service ... It wasn't bad, but it wasn't good either (a little slow, never got drink refills). I would highly recommend one of their charcuterie plates. Interesting pairings and flavors. Love the pickled red onions. I look forward to my next meal here. read more

Wish I could get such good ingredients at home! Everything was delicious. I was here with two family members and we ordered the Cajun cod sandwich, souffle, and risotto, and 3 equally delicious beers. We got to sit at a window table and watch the action on 3rd Street. The locally sourced mushrooms were perfectly prepared. The bun the cod was on must have tasted as good as it looked, because it disappeared. I enjoyed the pour-your-own bottle of water that came with glasses, as well as the beautiful wood table top. Everyone thought the bathrooms were very nice. read more

Caves Corvallis - Chicken and Waffles - Beer Bar Near Me - Corvallis, Oregon

Love this place. It's our favorite neighborhood spot for quality food and amazing beer. We love the vibe and the service is ALWAYS impeccable. Best brunch in town! My only complaint is that anytime I order a burger here the meat is overdone. The flavor combinations are incredible (gouda and caramelized onions anyone?), but it kind of ruins it when your burger is a hockey puck! Will keep going back for sure, but may try other things on the menu from here on out. read more

I loved it! My friends and I wanted to celebrate the end of a terrible Fall term before we left for break, and decided on eating a Caves. This was my first time here and the ambiance is warm and cozy. We had our meals as family style and shared with one another. We tried the elk and porcini ragout, forager burger, and the petite dungeness crab souffle. First off, they literally mean petite souffle (about the size of a biscuit). My friends and I laughed as soon as it arrived at our table cause we were definitely expecting something bigger. I'm a little disappointed that the waitress didn't mention it, but it's also not her fault for my misinterpretation. It tasted great though with lots of pieces of crab. The elk and porcini ragout was amazing!! This was my first time having elk and it soft and well seasoned. Also, I've been to Block 15 a million times, but have never tried their ale bread til now. IT. IS. SO GOOD. Can't ever go wrong with carbs. The forager burger was so delicious. I love me some mushrooms and this hit the spot! I will definitely come back!! read more
