The girl taking orders was very friendly and patient while we decided what we wanted to eat there and what we were taking on the road for our drive back home. We ordered five sets of cinnamon sugar waffles and two sets of the #1 classic. We devoured two cinnamon sugar waffles and decided to order one more cinnamon sugar for the road. The cinnamon sugar waffles were just as tasty as we remembered. Later when we stopped we gobbled down the classics- eating them like chicken waffle sandwiches...so yummy!!! Word on the street is they are selling frozen waffles in stores and will be on OSU's campus... not sure if they will be frozen for OSU, freshly baked and have a pop up shop or more permanently situated there. While there they had a good number of OSU students who wandered down the steps and ordered so they must have heard how delicious the food is. I also truly appreciate they don't price gouge for their food. The costs are reasonable for the amount of food you get!! With so many companies being greedy thank you for making costs affordable while also earning enough to continue cranking out yummy food! If we are back in town we definitely will be back...again!!!

We tried a variety of tacos (curry chicken, Peking duck, fish, barbacoa, and al pastor) and every single one was packed with flavor and perfectly prepared. The fresh, hot chips with both the green and red salsas were next-level good. Honestly, we could've made a meal out of just that. We also enjoyed a rosé sangria and a Tempranillo from Spain, both excellent and really complemented the food well. Beyond the food and drinks, the atmosphere was just as memorable. It was relaxed, inviting, and a perfect spot to sit back and enjoy the moment. This is definitely one of those places you want to come back to again and again.

Winner!

Hubby had the 2-meat BBQ plate with pulled pork and 1/2 rack of ribs. He really liked his ribs. He was pleased with the baked beans, too. And I got the steak salad. Delicious! When trying a new place, I always go for that and I was not disappointed one bit! I tried both the baker's roll (rosemary and sage today) and the heart attack roll. Neither made me think I was eating GF. As first-timers, we were given free chocolate chip cookies. The centers were soft and moist with crisp edges. I do like a ymmy sweet to finish off the meal. It's really nice to have a GF restaurant where the family can all go and find something without compromising selection or taste. We'll certainly be back!!

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!

I love the wholesome localness of the foods, everything possible is from the pacific northwest, fresh and healthy food. You get a good amount of food and the starting prices are average. The only thing that kept me from giving it 5 stars is the price of the extras. I don't see why it should be $1.25 for sour cream when I can buy a whole tub of oregon grown sour cream for the same price. I can see charging that for quacamole maybe, but not sour cream. Honestly, I get a bean and cheese burrito to go and buy a tub of sour cream from the grocery store and add my own. Also, the soda prices are high. I can see charging for the fancy fruit drinks and microbrews, but soda is cheap. Just gimme a coke for a buck. That being said, I like the place and I eat there often, I just make sure I buy the expensive extras elsewhere! Fun atmosphere, good for kids but not too childish for adults. Friendly staff, can totally customize your food and they get it right. Awesome summer outdoor seating read more

I don't know if it was the manager or owner- But, the way I saw a female employee treated by him was unethical and enough to cause me and my family never to support them again.

There were only 2-3 other tables inside. The 2 of us ordered the lamb samosas, boti kabob, saag paneer, and chicken biriyani (and 2 mango lassi's, unpictured). My favorites were: - Lamb Samosa: perfectly crisp, lamb filling was seasoned beautifully, and the tamarind and mint sauces paired so well - Chicken Biriyani: good amount of spices and seasoning, and the chicken was tender and not at all dry I enjoyed the other dishes as well, but I didn't enjoy them as much as the samosas and Biriyani - boti kabob: this came on a sizzling plate, and I feel like this made the lamb really dry. It was pretty tough to chew, which was a bit disappointing - saag paneer: this dish was good, but could've used more flavor. It paired fairly nicely with the garlic naan, which gave it some more flavor I thought was lacking.

I had the bún (rice noodles) with grilled chicken and charred prawns. The first bite was good: prawns were excellent, lightly cooked, moist with a smoky sweet char. The second bite included nicely herbed noodles with fresh, good quality lettuce, mint and cilantro. The third bite, and majority of the dish unfortunately, contained overcooked, chewy chicken. The fish sauce mixture lacked birds eye chili, acid and seasoning. Dry chicken dominated, but ironically components that require more delicate treatment were prepared well. The fried spring rolls (cha gio) were greasy, missing that blistered, bubbly skin.. My companion ordered a strawberry matcha and the vegetarian bún: nice and herby and green, but lacking that good flavor (chili, acid) in the Nước Chấm fish sauce. It shouldn't be solely up to sriracha to get a dish to the right flavors.
