    The Mead Flight...Pillage Responsibility!
    Ian S.

    Pillage Responsibility... engraved on the side of the mead flight. That was how the meal started and it only got better. The meads were fantastic! As a mead maker myself, i was impressed by the different tastes. If you like creativity in your food, this is the place for you! I got the small smorgasbord (basically pick 3 items from the small plates). I chose the smoked sausage, the beet colored jammy egg, and the cucumber salad. Yumm! Julie got the Bangers and Mash and a hazy IPA which were also a hit. Last really great service and a really fun environment. We'll definitely be back!

    I love this place! The restaurant is very clean, and has a couple choices for ambiance. If you want more space and less noise reserve a table in the back room. The cocktails are yummy and unique. The food is all good! I would say some of the prices seem a bit high for what you get, but I can also say that everything I've had has been very very tasty. I love the smorgasbords board options. Get the meatballs and the mashed potatoes for sure!! The burrata is very very good!! Pizza- nice and thin, chewy, and delicious Will absolutely be back!

    Pretzel
    Janice T.

    First time visiting this establishment. Nice clean interior plus they have an outdoor area as well. I bellied up to the bar and told the bartender what type of beer I preferred. He suggested two draft beers that he thought I would like. He immediately brought me a sample of each. I chose the Mountain Mexican Lager - I'm not a big beer drinker but this was better than Modelo Especial which I like. I ordered the pretzel for a nosh to complement the beer. When the pretzel arrived, it had more small oil beads than salt on the top. It was also very, very chewy but had a great flavor. It came with a cheese sauce, some great mustard sauce, and very, very, very thinly sliced pepperoncini-, which I loved. Next time I'm going to request that they don't heat the pretzel up so much. I was there mid afternoon during the weekday. There were only a few other people in there, but I am definitely returning when I have a bigger appetite to try more of their menu and to get another one of those delicious mountain Mexican beers.

    The Bangers and Mash was good as was the libations. Service was friendly but definitely lacking (there weren't that many tables occupied when we visited for lunch). Was not asked if I wanted or my wife wanted a refill on anything, which is a pet peeve of mine and hers. The Hamburger my wife had looked good and she said it was okay, but the fries were definitely over salted/seasoned. Prices were a tad high perhaps for what you paid for, so returning I would be considering this. Establishment was clean.

    Tasting Flight

    Been back a few times. The fries are especially delicious - so crispy (though a bit too salty). Tasting flight is a lot of fun. I love the Viking names.

    Flight

    A perfectly comfortable way to spend a rainy Saturday afternoon. Sampling their unique selection of beers and choosing our own adventure for a delicious "board". We sampled the beet fritters which were shockingly delicious, pickled egg (need I say anymore?!), perfectly cooked grilled sausage, meatballs, and a simple green salad that had the best tasting dressing. It had really great service and everything came out with perfect timing. How did it take me so long to come here is my only question.

    This place has the perfect trifecta of food ( beet fritters!? Marinated eggs? ) Drinks (alcoholic and non) & ambiance. Love the blonde and the IPA & the Orange soda. Snowboard smorgasbord off treats for 4 was perfect for snacks with the above. And if you need some to go, watch then seal up a crowler! Bathrooms are nothing special & service is ..ok but friendly, well worth an afternoon stop in.

    Food and beer were both delicious. They seemed understaffed, but everyone was working super hard. Not necessarily a family-friendly restaurant, but I will definitely be back when not with the whole family. I love how the menu is super unique and unlike anywhere else in town. I look forward to trying other items and drinks on the nenu in the future.

    Their juicy IPA
    Tyler G.

    I went probably a year ago and I left feeling it was good not great. THAT WAS THEN, THIS IS NOW. This place is fantastic! Fantastic locally sourced beef for the burger cooked to perfection and the juicy ipa was as good as I've had anywhere. It was a wonderful experience and we will be back. Appetizer grilled pepper dish(not pictured) with their house sauce is also highly recommended. Service, food, and ambiance in the establishment were all top notch tonight. Thank you Viking!

    Burger and brew special--$13 on Tuesday nights. This one has the goat cheese spread which I highly recommend adding!
    Jasmine T.

    The more I stop in, the more I love Viking Braggot. We got a chance to come back in to try more of their menu and ended up ordering the burger since it was part of their $13 burger and brew Tuesday special. The burger was really tasty--they make their own brioche bun with caraway seeds which is unique and super tasty. I have zero complains about the burger and recommend adding the goat cheese spread to it. The steak fries that came with it were well-seasoned and crispy in the best way. We also tried one of their rotating ice creams, a house-made vanilla cream soda ice cream with lingonberry swirl. It was as good as it sounds. They do rotate flavors, so be sure to save room to try their homemade ice cream. As always, beer was interesting and--you guessed it--tasty. They had a seasonal spiced ale which I really enjoyed, and their Battle Axe IPA is great. Definitely come in to support this great local brewery!

    I'm writing this while in the restaurant fyi. Nice people but the food took awhile and a bit of an overpriced dish, great food

    Kale salad, french fries, and a small board
    Megan W.

    The food here is good, definitely something a little different (for me!) than the norm. I'm not a big alcohol fan, so that was a miss for me, but my brother enjoyed the alcoholic lemonade and the variety of meads. Their kale salad is one of the best kale salads I have ever had, and I will absolutely be back for it. My partner and I loved the smorgasbord, with the flatbread and loum, meatballs, and sausage! Everything was tasty, and worth the price. Getting to try all the different sauces was fun, too. Their parking lot was easy to get to and they have an outdoor and indoor area, which is always appreciated.

    What a fun family night. I love that they allow all ages to come to drag bingo at 5pm on…read moreSaturdays. There were so many families enjoying time together. Some of the other reviews were negative on their food...but our food was fantastic. The burgers were moist and not greasy. The waffle cut fries were hot and crispy. The bartenders work non stop to get your drinks and food out quickly. My daughter loved the churro style donuts (but they are messy). The decor is a D&D dive bar scene....so many things to look at as you wait for bingo to start. They just changed the rules and you do have to pay $1.00 per person to play bingo...but where else can you get that type of entertainment for a dollar. We can't wait to return.

    While my first visit was unsatisfactory due to unfriendly staff and an overall sense of feeling…read moreunwelcome, I thought I would attempt a second visit. At one point, the bartender disappeared for approximately fifteen minutes, leaving several patrons waiting without acknowledgment. When she finally returned, she casually mentioned she had been on a personal phone call. A second woman then stepped behind the bar, immediately clarifying that she was not, in fact, a bartender. When I expressed concern about the extended absence and lack of service--something I would consider standard feedback in any hospitality setting--I was abruptly told I was "speaking badly" about the staff and was asked to leave. This kind of defensiveness and disregard for patrons is deeply unprofessional, especially for an establishment that positions itself within a community where communication, accountability, and mutual respect are paramount. Eugene has a growing nightlife and alternative culture scene, and many people--locals and visitors alike--expect spaces that uphold those values. Based on my experiences, I cannot recommend The Serpent & the Sparrow. There are other venues in town that offer a far more welcoming environment, competent service, and a genuine respect for their patrons.

Last time we came for brunch, we noticed the eggs Benedict no longer has the amazing Parmesan-crusted potatoes. The hollandaise is still decent and the focaccia bread is great, but losing that crispy crust was a big bummer. Today's visit for our usual wings and nachos was even more frustrating. First, they no longer offer ground beef for the nachos. We were told we could substitute steak, but that literally doubles the price of the dish. We opted for chicken instead, which was a steep $7 extra for maybe two ounces of meat. When the nachos arrived, they looked like low-effort, homemade oven nachos with just melted cheddar on top. The whole thing was fused together into one giant sheet of chips; we had to break it apart and manually pile the toppings back onto the chips ourselves. It was really weird. The biggest letdown, though, was the wings. It used to be a solid order of six traditional flats and drums. Today, we paid $14 for just four pieces, and they weren't even wings--they were frenched chicken thighs. Subbing a completely different, lower-quality cut of meat without telling the customer is false advertising, and they turned out dry. Plus, the sauce has changed from a traditional Frank's-style buffalo to a harsh cayenne sauce. Between the wings and the nachos, today's total came out to $34--and $40 with a tip. Paying premium prices for dry thigh meat, overpriced add-ons, and a block of fused-together nachos makes it really hard to justify coming back. I'm not sure if North Fork got bought out or what, but I really don't see a point in returning.

FOOD: ok I know most people don't need out over glassware the way I do so let's discuss the food - I went more unique with a lamb sausage and a boar sausage, plus my new friends next to me shared their fries. My opinion? Awesome. Well executed sausage, the fries were really good - crisp on the outside and still perfect potato texture inside while being hot with a fry sauce side that perfectly complemented Service was great, met regulars, had tasty food - but the whale in this adventure was the care for the glassware. This is special - the owner truly cares about your experience when they nail the small details a lot of folks miss. I didn't miss this detail because it's massive in the nuance on your beer but takes special care and pride to get right. Bangers takes pride in giving you a beer in a properly maintained glass, and that's uniquely special. Applause to Bangers for attention to detail!
