Loved this! So true
Laura W.

We have no idea why this spot has only 3/5 stars. We are gonna fix that. My husband and I took a 17 mile bike ride. Time for cold brews. The day before a duck game. It was about 330 pm. Dead quiet as far as patrons though the staff was gearing up for the game against Fresno State. We enjoyed a few beers. The staff was super chatty despite their preparations ahead with an early start on Saturday morning. Think 530 am for an 11 am game. Yikes! We shared we are from Columbus and we look forward to welcoming them to the Shoe next week. GO BUCKS! We loved the cold brew and company. This place is FUN! You'll love it.

Country Night every Thursday!

Country Night!!! Thursday nights this is where I go to have a fun crowd and great bartenders ... I'm really liking the changes that the new management is making...new beers from the local brewries, food is great, bathrooms are clean and people are all ages. I do think if you come by you need to try the Taylor Made!

From the seating area toward the live band on weekends!

Visited late on a Saturday evening and to my surprise they had live music. The bartender was very attentive to my drink order and ready to give recommendations based on the type of drinks desired. After sitting at the bar and having a drink I sat in the seating area a couple of steps up from the dance floor and was immediately greeted by Mackenzie our waitress who was equally attentive and recommended her favorite IPA (Boneyard) which was quite delicious. Might I mention the fries? You want to talk about a late night snack? These curly fries are huge and filling(and I eat a lot). Come for the music, stay for the beer and excellent seating area( you can still hear the band and have a conversation).

Burgers are delish!

The worst bar I've ever been to. The rudest people I've ever dealt with and subpar food. Come here if you want to have an unenjoyable night.

Big City Gaming and Home Team Kitchen- 4 stars…read more Big City Gaming is a Sports Bar in Eugene. I went here on the 4th of July which is hella less annoying than 4th of July in the Mission in SF aka my hood. So my beloved Lotus Garden aka vegan Chinese food that is fab that I would frequent in the day when in lived in Eugene was closed on the 4th despite their website saying they were open and walked there to find out they only are currently doing take out. Damn like Kendrick Lamar So I walk back to Big City Gaming and the friendly bartender tells me that they have an all vegetarian menu even though it isn't pure veg aka they have non veg too. It's all good baby, baby. I am starving after walking heaps in the hard sun like Eddie Vedder. So I get some water and check out the all veg menu. Upon the bartender's suggestion I go with the jackfruit tacos. They were quite alright aka two corn tortillas filled with generous portions of fajita style grilled jackfruit, topped with cabbage, pico de gallo and our signature avocado crema sauce sprinkled with queso fresco. I decided to add vegan crema and non-dairy cheese for a buck. It hit the spot. I did feel like a fish out of water with all the screens showing baseball as basketball is my jam. I am a huge Warriors fan and sad we lost Donte yet he is going to the Knicks. Cool atmosphere with screens for sports and games such as shooting basketballs in the hoop etc. Recommended for sports night!

You can watch the latest sporting events, drink and beer and they are cool with you smoking cigars…read morein the patio. I really enjoyed my time here. The service was amazing as well the owner even sat and talked with my wife and I for quite a while. I highly recommend coming here for UFC as well as they show all the PPVs here. We will be coming back!

Went by one Saturday to watch a college football game. The place was crowded on a non football…read moreOregon weekend. We were seated right away and the hostess turned our game on. Started with beers and a southwest egg roll order. We ordered because the server said it is running about 30 minutes for orders. The egg rolls came out and they were good. Our food arrived a little earlier than we were told. My wife and I got a perfectly cooked junior hamburger. Others got the southwest fiesta salad and the queso burger. Everyone liked their meal. Really nice sports bar with a lot of tv options.

Glad I convinced my wife and daughter to try Prime Time! We almost went to a generic Pancake…read morehouse, but I liked the look of Prime Time. I ordered the Country Fried Steak with poached eggs and gravy on the side (because I planned on taking half home and wanted to preserve the breading on the steak). The panko coating on the steak had me intrigued, but it was great! The hashbrowns were pretty tasty, although they could have been crispier. The biscuit was decent, but the flavor of the gravy and the steak brought it all together. The quality reminded me of another sports bar here in Bend that has really good breakfast/brunch foods. I can't really speak to the other dishes but my wife and daughter were very happy with their French Toast and Waffle. I'd def stop back in if I was in the area.

Great locals pub with excellent atmosphere. The owner is always there and very accommodating…read more Amazing food, tonight I had home cooked lasagna absolutely to die for. Awesome! Every time I am here it's my go to place. See you there!

It's been a bit since I've reviewed Twisted Duck, and I've had multiple experiences here…read more It is a hidden gem and the owner is working hard to create a nice atmosphere and build a name for his business. He hasn't quite nailed consistency yet, but it's clear he's trying. After my original experience, I wasn't sure I wanted to return. But I happened to see him advertising for a new chef not too long after, and I figured that was a good time to try again. I still love that he supports other small businesses, like the butcher shop next door, the bakery across the street, and my favorite brewery in Corvallis as well. Nothing makes me happier than seeing small business supporting each other. I have a complete love affair with their tacos every Tuesday, and my inner fat kid craves them constantly. Friday, my husband and I went in for the prime rib special. It is a 12 ounce prime rib, baked potato, and chowder or salad for $25. We also enjoyed an amazing beer from Block 15, which is like my favorite brewery ever. Service is great, I've never had a complaint there. The owner is always there working, everybody working works. The owner and chef both bring food out if the bartender is busy. It's clear nothing sits and waits. Everything is everyone's job, and I have huge respect for that. I am really glad I decided to give Twisted Duck another try, because every experience gets better and better, and I'm always happy to see a small business growing and becoming very successful.
