Former owners of the once awesome Konfusion food truck, and then eatery, on University of Oregon campus have now opened one of the coolest places in town. They had us at Pulled Pork Tacos. Brisket tacos. BBQ Chicken Sandwich. Housemade bbq beans. Fresh buns and pineapple potato slaw. Platters of macaroni and cheese. The list goes on and on... Open mic. Line dancing. Live music on weekends. Dance floor. Jukebox and couches. Great beer line-up and full bar. Outfricking standing. Many, many thanks for drumming up a bar - no, saloon - that gets it right on every point. Service: check! Clean: check and check!! Friggin delish eats? Hail yeah!! Whoop whoop. Will return. read more

I'm really grateful for Shawn and the kind, professional staff at this great restaurant/bar. My husband and friends have patroned this great spot for a couple months now. The food is very good and they have a creative menu with very good BBQ. They have a few signature drinks that are fun and unique. Beers on tap are local microbrews from around the state. They have live music/events and Karaoke at times. Bathroom is super clean. The entire restaurant was clean. We love this place!! read more

Fun place to grab a beer and dance the night away. They always seem to have great live music too! The staff is very friendly.

Great place to go have a drink and good food. Their taco Tuesday is pretty good as well. I really enjoy the jalapeño infused vodka. They have some drink specials that include the jalapeño vodka, but I like it as a straight shot. The staff is super cool and friendly. The bar is nice and clean and the renovations were done right. They do have a small stage for bands to play and it's really fun to go watch live music. (The COVID-19 issue has put that on hold) read more

I am writing this as I wipe the tears of joy away from my face brought on by memories of a certain place that was near and dear to me but unfortunately no longer around. This place to me is as a rebirth of a Phoenix as it rise again from the ashes, but this time with a smoker and Country swagger, instead of a Korean Mexican one ! I ordered the pulled pork nachos without hesitation because if they were similar to what I remembered I was in for a treat. I waited patiently, because patience is a virtue and true art takes time. They did finally come and I was giddy with happiness from seeing the heaping mountain of chips covered in a golden cheese and dark red bbq sauce with a heaping amount of piggy and jalapeno rings goodness on top as it was put in front of me. A picture was taken and deconstruction was started. Even though it looks like so many ingredients put together everything worked well together and was left not disappointed. The pulled pork was done with perfection and was moist and packed with flavor. I am glad to see that even though different I have found my new spot and a new usual favorite. The service was also great and I must say that you should definitely give this place a chance and that you won't regret it! read more

Twisted River Saloon - Pulled pork nachos - Barbeque Near Me - Springfield, Oregon

I am so excited to have a clean, friendly, establishment such as this place that also serves delicious food. I really love what they have done with this place. I can't wait until they bring in some bands to play on the weekend nights. I follow them on FB, and see they do tri tip specials on Tuesday evenings around 5:00 pm. They have also had line dance lessons, I am not sure if this is a weekly thing or not. Tonight being a Thursday, was a prime rib special. They have several large screen TV's to watch, they offer a video poker machine room, and very friendly service. I showed up on opening night, had the pulled pork sandwich. It was delicious. It came with the curly fries, and fry sauce. WOW! Yumm! My Son wanted lunch the other day so we decided to come in, he had the peanut butter bacon pickle burger. I was indecisive, everything sounded great, I honestly wanted the tri tip, but it wasn't ready until later on at 5:00. Shawn suggested the gyro. So I went with that. If any of you have had the Kyro's at Kunfusion...you will love the gyro here. I tried bites of my Son's burger, OMG! I am going to have to say the best peanut butter bacon pickle burger!! Order it, you won't regret it! My gyro was the bomb!! Had the prime rib this evening! Once again, very impressed! I am not surprised. If any of you have loved the food at Kunfusion, you will know the passion Shawn puts into the food. Follow the Twisted River FB for updates on their specials, also I had seen a possible pop up Kunfusion cart at the Twisted River, so it would be worth following them, or stopping in and giving the Saloon a try. It is definitely worth it. Friday night, Country DJ dance party. Not sure if that is an every Friday night thing. read more

Good ol' American bar and grill! Good food, friendly service, great drinks and reasonably priced! It happened to be biker night when we went and they showed up late. Nor our scene but they were all fine doing their own thing. Recommend them for a good meal for sure!! read more

First timer. Read the yelp reviews spot on. Enjoyed the special (prime rib) and halibut sandwich and fries. Very quiet so service was very fast. Food was great. Like really really great. This was the 8th place I dined during this visit. Prime rib excellent plus I enjoyed it greatly Very well prepared. Great cut. You can't find a better Prime rib in this area. I highly recommend TWISTED RIVER SALOON. Great interior and fast knowledgeable service. Therefore it earned 5 stars and a comet. My own personal rating. Did I mention I flew up just to try the food in this area. So value wise this is the place. Call ahead to check on specials. The tartar sauce for the halibut was unique The brick fries very fresh. read more

The twisted tea was deceiving, didn't taste a lot of whiskey but ai got a good buzz after drinking it so be careful! I loved the fry sauce with the fried pickles! I will definitely be back!

Found this place on a whim so glad we stopped in super cool place. The staff was friendly and helpful the food was excellent. Wish we could have stayed for the live music. Definitely will be going back next time we are in town read more

Fantastic open mic night. Very friendly crowd, great sound system and stage. Very fun!

First time ordering from this restaurant/saloon, and honestly, take out box or not, the food was delicious!!!! The nachos were made the way nachos should be made, with plenty of toppings that are portioned throughout not simply covering the top of the nachos. The chips seemed thicker, but very tasty and held up for quite awhile without becoming soggy. Honestly, very good!!! My daughter had a Pulled Pork Quesadilla, and stated that it was likely the best quesadilla that she has ever eaten. Quite the review from her. My wife ordered the trio of soft tacos, although she thought that they tasted wonderful, she felt that they needed a bit more pizzazz? Regardless, what a treat! The service although brief due to it being just a pick up meal, was handled professionally and politely. Would I return? Without a doubt!! read more

Great lunch the pulled pork was moist and the flavor was Smokey good. The burger and pickle chips hit the spot and my friends Nachos with the pulled pork way over the top. Don't stop at the door and peek in this is a great place to come for BBQ. Get past the fact that this was a place with a past now it's great BBQ in a old west Saloon. read more
