I love Old World Deli and should make it a point to come here more often, as I've always enjoyed my…read moredining experience. The sandwiches are delicious, the house-made potato chips are nice and crunchy, and there's some great drink options. Plus, there's often live music. It's never been empty when I've stopped in, but I've never had issues with grabbing a table. There are some high seats and tables as well as some lower ones, and self-serve water and drinking glasses in the dining area. You order at the counter and they bring your food out to you. Service is friendly and it never takes too long for your food to arrive at your table. Old World Deli is in my top 3 sandwich spots in Corvallis. This is a great place to take a friend or a medium-sized (4-6) group of people for a sandwich and perhaps a show. Plus, the ambiance, decor, and painted ceiling are really cool!

We really enjoyed our sandwiches and drinks at Swan Dive! Our waitress was friendly and attentive,…read moreand our order came out promptly. The sandwich and drink menus are fun and eclectic. I like that the location is tucked away from the hustle and bustle of downtown while still being accessible to the downtown area. I will say that the price for the amount of food is a bit prohibitive. There are two different sandwich sizes, but even the larger sandwich can feel a bit minimal. Perhaps if you're visiting for a lighter lunch, the portion would feel better. We ate around dinner time and were pretty hungry, so this will factor into our dining decisions. The sandwiches don't come with a side (aside from a few dilly beans, which are very good by the way), so do keep that in mind. I recommend Swan Dive if you are in a position to spend a little extra on good sandwiches and drinks.

Chicken nachos were a generous portion, easy to share with three people. The corn fritters were a delight - something different and delish for bar food. It is an order-at-the-bar establishment, so no true table service. Still pleasant overall.

It's the 4th of July so the risk of it not being open was high. Fortunately for us it was open. Prior to arrival, I did read some of the negative reviews and the owner's colorful responses, which made me want to come even more. I've actually never seen owners/managers reply with such honesty. They usually are trying to brown nose you..."I'm sorry about your experience. What can I do to make it better?" To debunk one of the comments: no they do not sneak in the tip. If you pay with credit card it says "no tip" or the usual 15-25% option. If you're hungry for a perfectly made bagel, the way they should be made, this is the place go!

Inside is a decorative interior with plants and wooden walls in the summer time that looks very bright and inviting. Service can take a while because there are usually 1-2 people running the front and carrying out food. I didn't mind it at all because the place is so nice. Menu is decent size with lots of options to choose from. I got the Cajun Penne which has Tri color bell peppers, house made sausage, chicken,, chorizo, andouille, cream, garlic, parmesan, Cajun spice, and 2 slices Bodhi Bread. Cost me about $20 bucks and worth every penny. Good amount of spice, rich and flavorful. Overall a lovely place to eat and more than happy to come here and eat again.

The food here is great!! I ordered through door dash. Kind of confusing because I didn't know it…read morewas just Murphy's under a different name - so I had to call in and find that out! I got the spicy teri chicken with rice and Mac salad. It was $14.05 Portion size: 5/5 Price: 5/5 Food: 4/5 The rice was cooked perfectly. Just good old fashioned white rice. Nothing fancy. The Mac salad is in my opinion the best in Corvallis. It is fantastic. Very flavorful without being too mayo heavy. If I had to give it a critique: the noodles are slightly overcooked. I wish there was more cut up carrot or celery in it as well and a dash more salt. The chicken is amazing. Very flavorful. Well cooked. Sweet and spicy. You can taste the ginger in the sauce. If I had to give a critique; I wish there was more char on it. To be clear, there is plenty of char, but I like mine to be a little more charred than normal over an open flame. My only concern is that the deserts in the cooler by the register literally have Costco price tags on them still. That is not an issue at all!! BUT it makes me question the authenticity of the food. I would eat here again for sure. Best Hawaiian food in Corvallis, if you ask me. I imagine the people leaving negative reviews went on a bad day or are just miserable people to begin with. Every critique I am making I was just splitting hairs.

I always enjoy my latte here. I've also tried out their sweet and creamy cold brew (a little too sweet but as a treat it was great!) and their cortado which are both solid. My go to dish is usually the acai bowl. Plenty of textures, flavors, and a good amount of sour and sweet that makes it's perfectly balanced. The only downside is that the spoons that are provided are a little big for the bowl that you are given, so you are bound to spill a little bit. The Mexican bowl is okay, but not quite my personal preference since there is more of a curry taste to it. Overall come and give Bodhi a try!

Though busy on a Wednesday afternoon (it was the day before Thanksgiving after all), we found a table and had a great meal. I loved my latte and biscuits and gravy! Everything was tastefully presented and had wonderful flavors. The portion sizes aren't too big, so don't expect a huge meal. I found the biscuits and gravy to be filling for a brunch, but someone with a bigger appetite might want to opt for something more substantial. The staff did a great job getting many orders out in a fairly short amount of time, and based on my meal, they weren't sacrificing quality in the process. The cafe norms are pretty standard for a seat-yourself cafe where you order at the counter, pick up your food at the counter, and bus your own table. I found Bodhi Cafe and Bakery to be exactly what I needed, and look forward to returning.

Farmers market mornings and brunch this good? Tough combo to beat in Corvallis…read more After strolling through the Corvallis farmers market on a sunny Saturday morning, we popped into Odd Bird Café for brunch and completely understood why the place was packed. We grabbed a patio table instead of waiting inside and really enjoyed the atmosphere, though the QR code ordering system made things a little tough when trying to grab extra coffee, water, or ask questions without a server around. The Birdy Mary was solid but landed around a 6/10 for me, missing some of the spice and depth I personally like in a great Bloody Mary, but the hot drip coffee absolutely hit the spot. The food, though, was outstanding. My wife and I split the BLT with crispy bacon and avocado spread, paired with potatoes that were somehow crispy, soft, and packed with flavor all at the same time. Our daughter and son-in-law ordered the "I'm the Good Kind of Fat" special with house-smoked salmon, poached egg, arugula, and avocado on sourdough, and every bite looked better than the last. Odd Bird feels like one of those spots that fits Corvallis perfectly: relaxed, local, busy in the best way, and serving food that makes you want to come back next weekend. #CorvallisEats #BrunchGoals #OddBirdCafe #FarmersMarketMorning #OregonEats #FoodieFind
