North Fork Tavern

From a Eugene local, this place is truly amazing! I went for their New Year's Brunch, and everything was absolutely delicious! The atmosphere is classy but interesting, as well. The servers were nice, and we had no problem making a reservation just before we headed over and getting seated. The food is some of the best I've had in the area, and the portions are more than reasonable, as well, for the price. I would definitely recommend this place for brunch! And I'm planning to visit again to try their dinner menu!

I am torn while writing this review. Staff was very nice but ultimately our breakfast was a total failure. 2 hour meal! Granted it was parents weekend at UofO so things were busy. Although there were open tables. We were told on the phone prior to arriving there was no wait for a table. Upon arrival 12 minutes later (at roughly 10:30) we were told there was no availability and they would seat us when a table opened. (Several tables were open with no one at them for 45 minutes.) It took 36 minutes for us to be seated, 7 minutes to even be addressed (we had to flag someone down), and we waited 50 minutes for food! My wife and daughter went across the street to get toast, ate, came back, and food still did not arrive. My Chilaquiles was a nice portion and tasted good, both my wife and daughter ordered the Avocado Toast which resembled an appetizer. It looked like it had a spoonful of avocado on toast points, the spring greens, as seen on their website, was actually parsley! I gave 2 stars for friendliness of the staff and the manager was nice and took both Avocado dishes off our bill. Final Thoughts: the kitchen seemed understaffed, the reservation system appeared to be a challenge. DO NOT walk in! Make a reservation or Do not go! Bar is for 21 and over ONLY!

We went because we had purchased their gift card from Costco and took our daughter who we were visiting. Really cool area, a bit out of the way though. We made a reservation and no wait for it when we arrived. Great beer on tap (one of our favs is Barley Brown IPA and rarely can find it). Our server was awesome and we took his recommendations on all the food and he was spot on. Had the seared salmon, seared chicken and steak sandwich. We were able to watch college football and they were great about switching tvs to different stations for us. We will definitely be back next time we visit her!

Stop what you’re doing right now. I’m serious. This is a donut emergency. North Fork in Eugene serves complimentary cinnamon sugar donuts with a strawberry coulis at brunch. And if you don’t try them before they realize they can charge $8,000 for these things, you are out of your donut loving mind. First of all, our waitress was an absolute angel. She offered to bring us more donuts. I watched her deliver them to other tables and saw pure joy spread across people’s faces. The first bite, the steam, the little eyebrow lift of happiness, the slow chew that says, “Oh my gosh, what is this magic?” You could feel the love from across the restaurant. Here’s what we ordered: • Brunch burger (medium) • Kids breakfast with two extra eggs (over medium) • Shrimp and grits To drink, just a vanilla latte. Huge, fragrant, beautiful, and delicious. The kids breakfast was perfect. It comes with one egg, but I got extra for sharing, which was unnecessary because the portion was spot on for my five year old. She demolished the eggs but couldn’t finish the potatoes, bacon, or toast. The brunch burger was good. My husband wanted a little more salt and there wasn’t any on the table, but the fries were crispy and everything hit the spot. The shrimp and grits with sausage? Spicy, creamy, rich, and absolutely delicious. Perfect if you’re hungry or want to share. 10/10 recommend North Fork for brunch. The donuts alone are worth the trip. To the person who made the donuts and had the idea to make them complimentary…I’m naked under these clothes. *exaggerated wink*

Aggressively mid food. I got the $9 chicken add on the salad and it was a grand sum of 91 grams of chicken. Fried pickles are fine I guess but clearly they don’t have a mastery of sauce. This is just a “modern” overpriced red robin honestly. I’m genuinely not sure the food is better than Red Robin either. Do not go here.

For a restaurant recently bought by a “Restaurant Group,” this place has gone downhill quick. North Fork has always been a great dining establishment with nice staff and a great cocktail menu. It’s clear the new owners plan to cut corners anywhere they can. Their fried items were different than other places and had great flavor. Now it’s just frozen bags of fries, Frickles, and breakfast potatoes. The Benedict was supposed to come with their rosemary focaccia. Instead, the ham/egg sat on top of a non-toasted half of an English muffin. They clearly don’t let their waitstaff know of the changes ahead of time either. How do you even consider serving that? It seems that every time I’ve been there this year, more and more frozen items get substituted in but that price stays the same. If you’re looking to have a great cocktail, this is the place! And the staff is really great! Food? You can take your chance.

Best food in Eugene. All homemade. You can taste the goodness. The staff is impeccable. Servers, bartender, chef, kitchen assistants, wait staff and management Work together seamlessly to provide a total foodie experience. Their menu and drinks are discounted during Happy Hour 3-6 pm. Average savings of 10%. This food and service does not need to be discounted. It is just one more example of a quality experience this establishment wants to create for their guests. Well done North Fork. We are excited to return. You will not be disappointed in quality, quantity and yes price. A strong 10/10.

Stopped here based on the reviews and was not disappointed. Staff were really welcoming from the point we arrived and were able to find us a table during a busy Friday night. Food and drinks were excellent and cooked to the right level. Will be back again when in the area

Happy hour till 6pm on a Friday?! That's is crazy! Located northeast of Eugene. A cute area with plenty of free parking spots Very spacious inside with sports playing in a low volume so you can easily talk to people Waiters are pretty attentive without too much pressure Slider is really good. Need to try it. Really juicy patty with caramelized onions Pretzel is kinda too soft for me but huge portion Fries is big portion as well. Really crispy on the outside So yeah, try all the happy hour appetizers if you can Main courses are not so exciting. The cottage pie is mostly mashed potato with a thin layer of meat. Not very big either Sausage is pretty bland as well. Not very quality sausage Brownie is very disappointing though. Very dry and chalky. How can someone messed up with brownie? But for the price and portion, still recommend to visit

Me and my husband have been Sunday regulars for several years. North Fork used to be a true "farm-to-table" and that was one of the big reasons why we loved it. The staff has always been (and still very much is) top notch in everything they do...but the food quality has dropped significantly to the point we can no longer justify the expensive. We've learned the changes began shortly after a new owner came in. Some of the changes we've noticed: The fish in the fish 'n chips is now buried in deep fried batter to the point I had to peel away most of the breading just to get to what little fish was there. The steak and eggs ($30) offers barely 4 ounces of steak, small heap of potatoes and two eggs...not enough to justify the price. They downgraded their organic, thick-cut pepper bacon to some odd, paper thin variety that is not very appealing and it would seem they no longer make their biscuits gravy in house! It now looks and tastes bland and pasty...industrialized. They used to have magnificent herbed gravy made from scratch so this is particularly disappointing. They no longer have real maple syrup. The prices remain that of an organic, farm-to-table but the food no longer qualifies and is very overpriced for what it is. I will really miss my Sunday mornings there but I just can't stomach these shortcomings. Very sad to see our favorite restaurant reduced to this state. If I could, I would give the staff 5+ stars and the food 1.

Food- wedge salad phenomenal. The dressing is rich plenty of rogue creamery blue cheese pieces, pickled onions nice touch. The butter lettuce is beautiful cuts well, eats well. Bottom line order it, try it unless you're lactose intolerant. Otherwise crush it! Added a NF Slider, soft bun, cheesy sautéed onion creation to add some fun a little smoke! Three bites you're done! Enjoyable! The waiter! Great job! Attentive, friendly, good worker! Nice job Paul! Thank you!

Went in Noth Fork Tavern for dinner. The staff are friendly as well as professional and atmosphere is warming as well as cozy. Our server Zoey, was great and accommodating to our requests and conversation. I ordered the bacon Mac & cheese, very hearty and generous in size. Glad we made reservations for this place and will come back again.

Stopped in here for a weekend brunch with the wife and was pleasantly surprised by food, ambiance and service. I order the breakfast burrito and it was quite good. Great atmosphere and service as well. We will certainly come back!

Long story, the short version... We waited 40 minutes for a table. Granted that's not terrible for a busy breakfast time. However, we waited almost an hour for our food. Total time on site was 2 hours. I feel like they ran out of food, the dish that was served looked nothing like what was described on the menu.

4.5 stars, but I'm rounding up. Came here for brunch and all of us enjoyed our meals, but also agreed that it was on the razors edge of being cold. The flavor though was great and our server was really friendly. The place wasn't super busy on the Sunday morning, so I'm not sure why the food wasn't hot.

Ambiance is warm and relaxing. Light is ample yet still soft. Delicious chicken pot pie! Music was at a level where you could still hold a conversation.

We were looking for a place to have Sunday brunch with our family. We were also celebrating our daughter-in-laws birthday and wanted it to be special. My wife did some research and found North Fork Tavern and the positive reviews. We also appreciated the fact they offered reservations through Open Table. We made a reservation for 11am and my wife called an hour or so before to double check that we could bring dessert to the restaurant to enjoy after brunch. The young woman who spoke to my wife was very friendly and helpful and assured her we could bring the dessert and they would also provide us plates and utensils. We were immediately greeted at the hostess station and taken to a large table which provided us plenty of room. We were given menus and our drink orders were taken. The brunch menu consisted of a good number of breakfast and lunch items and is available on both Saturday and Sunday from 10am-2pm. Our server was friendly and efficient and between the six of us, we ordered items such as the North Fork Burrito (eggs, pulled pork, cheddar, Monterey jack, onions, pepper, jalapenos, tomatoes, salsa, crema and guacamole). The steak and eggs (Oregon raised 8 oz grass fed flat iron, 2 eggs, with hand cut fries), the North Fork Burger with peppered bacon and no tomato and garlic aioli on the side (grass fed Oregon beef, butter lettuce, red onion, tomato, cheddar cheese garlic aioli on a locally baked bun with fries) and the PNW BLT (peppered bacon, thick cut bacon, tomato, cucumber, lettuce, garlic aioli on a toasted ciabatta with hand cut fries). The restaurant has a upscale yet relaxing feel and the prices are a bit on the higher end but we also realize the prices in the Willamette Valley are more than we are used to living now in North Carolina. Our food arrived in a timely manner and all looked delicious. We each dug into our meals and agreed that everything was yummy. When we were finished with our meals our server brought plates and something to cut the cheesecake with and we didn't even have to ask or remind her, which was appreciated. This was a great experience and we were very happy that we chose North Fork to celebrate as a family.

Beautifuly decorated dinning room with friendly service. The drinks and beer selection are well done. The food was delicious and well portioned. Great little place for date night.

Friendly thoughtful service. Their chicken nuggets are NOT your average nuggets, yum! Dipping a grilled cheese sandwich... yes please! Cheers!!!

We six family members went to celebrate a birthday dinner at North Fork . Staff was efficient, kind, and speedy . Great selection on the menu and a pleasant ambiance in the dining area. Klutz that I am, I managed to break a wine glass onto my delicious salmon dinner. They quickly removed my plate, cleaned up the mess, and replaced my meal free of charge! Class organization. Food was wonderful and portions large. Will definitely be back.

Very nice restaurant. Food and service were quick and enjoyable. Would highly recommend.

We made a reservation for Thanksgiving dinner. Everything was scheduled. The next day a manager called and told me that did not have any open spots, they we over booked. Thus, he canceled our reservation and told us to find another option. Saying your sorry is great and all, but having family all come together with no place to meet or eat (we dont live near there) is not helpful. Canceling without giving us options is poor service. How does a computer program allow you to over book when your appointment taker told me it was open when he said he looked? I'm confused and unhappy.

This review is not was many will expect. We dined here after arriving in Eugene for move in week at UO. Our day started at 4 am to catch our flight. We did stuff and then came for dinner around 6pm. Upon checking in, I may have overheard that that two chefs were a no show. We were not told that and being hungry I decided to ignore. I should not have and after 90 minutes, we were told our food was still 60 minutes out. They then said, it would only be about 35 minutes and the meal would be comped but asked us to leave a tip. We would have of course. We left anyway and settled for a quick stop at grocery outlet. A bottle of wine plus cheese and salami was what the doctor ordered or perhaps the doctor I wished I had. Why 3 stars and not a goose egg.? They apologized. They are working in a tough industry and we're trying. Also, the food looked really good. We will be back during our next visit to see if the food also tastes good if the kitchen is fully staffed.

I was impressed with my burger and the ranch was very good as well. The team working behind the bar was great and made sure I always had what I needed. My burger was an absolute juice bomb. I haven't had a burger that juicy in quite some time and it made me happy to see a place that can still cook a burger to right temperature. It's a great spot to catch a game too as there's plenty of tv coverage throughout the restaurant.

Everything! Brunch is my absolute fav, Eggs benny with rosemary focaccia, or shrimp and grits over the top YUM! Drinks and atmosphere are top notch! Always great service too!

The restaurant has a great concept for its ambience, but unfortunately, the service and food don't live up to it. If you don't have a reservation, be prepared to sit at the bar or outside -- even if there are 12+ empty tables inside. We ended up sitting outside, which we didn't mind. Food: The quality was underwhelming. Our food took a long time to arrive, came out cold, lacked flavor, and the portions were small. * Steaks: Skip them. Honestly, I've had better steaks at Applebee's. * Chicken: The skin wasn't crispy, and it was served cold. * Fries: Crunchy but completely unseasoned. * Wings: The sauce is the only thing that saves them. * Fried pickles: Surprisingly, these were delicious!

The food is decent. Last time I was there, I saw a bottle of Thomas Handy Sazerac. I ordered it on a big rock. When the bill came it was $80. That is a bit steep for a bottle that costs $150. About $40 seems fair. Would have been nice to have the bartender say it was that price.

Ty is an amazing chef!!! Matt, ben, and staff are the absolute best! We love love love this local gem!

$9 for some grilled cheese with your plastic. Yummmm. This restaurant is going down hill fast.

We just had a really negative experience here and didn't even get to eat. Arriving, we got there just before another party of four and held the door for them so we all entered together. The host was on the phone and when she hung up, she grabbed the other four and took them back to a table. My wife and I shrugged, it happens, how bad could it be? Pretty bad, it turns out. She was gone for a while so someone else came to help us and told us we were looking at 30 minutes for a table. We shared our frustration about what had happened and he was apologetic and after a minute promised us a table in "about 10 minutes" and presumably added us to the list so we sat back to wait. Five minutes later, another party walked in. No reservation, and the host seated them immediately. When she came back, she asked us if we were waiting then said we weren't on the list. We shared what had happened and then every step afterwards, she kept trying to offload blame (variously us and the other guy who had spoken with us) and told us we could be seated in another "30 minutes". By this point, we'd been there almost 15 minutes so, frustrated, we decided to go elsewhere. We stood out front with our friends trying to decide and the host came out a minute later just long enough to blame us ("we usually prefer people speak up") before dipping back into the restaurant. I've eaten here before and have had good experiences, but tonight's has soured me on this restaurant a LOT.

I had to update, even if months late. While the last experience I wrote about here with a poor review was not great, their customer service is! They did reach out and did apologize and send over a gift card. We tried it again soon after for brunch, and it was very good. The food here has typically been good and the service is usually pretty casual, friendly. I like coming here for a quick lunch with my boyfriend. Brunch was good so I think I will come again soon.

Good visit! The fried chicken was great and seasoned very well, the cornbread paired nicely, but was a touch dry. The hot sauce and balsamic glaze were wonderful. The service quality and ambiance of the restaurant were both highlights, very comfortable atmosphere all around. I enjoyed my aviator (on the cocktail menu under 'Purple Pilot'), and I recommend the fried pickles as an app.

Wonderful evening at North Fork! Speedy service and seating. Cool seating area, I love the gates that open up! Or sitting on the patio by a heater :) Food is always a hit and I steal everyone's leftovers immediately! Shoutout Joey Banry! He was a wonderful young man who helped us tremendously!

We had a super yummy late lunch/early dinner here. I had the salad with goat cheese and strawberries and greens with salmon and my son had the burger. We also split truffle fries. I would definitely come back, the service is great and the restaurant has good vibes!

Everything was great including the food and service. It will definitely be in our regular rotation. As a side benefit, they had the Ducks game on, and this is also an excellent place to watch a game.

I've eaten here before, and the food has always been consistently good. However, tonight's experience left me a bit confused by their policy. We were a party of six, and there were no "large party tables" available. I asked the hostess if we could use two empty four-seater tables instead, but she explained that their policy doesn't allow splitting a party across two tables. I even suggested we split into two groups of three and pay separately as if we were two parties, but after checking with the manager, the answer was still no. This policy feels unnecessarily rigid--especially when the tables were available. It's hard to understand why they would choose to turn away over $200 in business rather than accommodate a simple request. In the end, we went across the street to a bar and grill that had no problem accommodating us. I'm giving 3 stars because the hostess was very kind, and the food has been great in the past. That said, I hope the management reconsiders this policy in the future.

Great spot! Was recommended by a friend and they were spot on! Fried chicken was amazing and I tried the Vienna lager that was a vanilla flavored beer. The service was awesome and it was a terrific place to watch the game on the big screens.

Good burgers and cocktails. A nice menu and nice atmosphere. Highly recommend. It's clean too.

Good Happy Hour. Love the frickles and the delicious sauce it comes with. Sitting outside is nice but sometimes the service isn't as good when sitting outside.

Great service, delicious food and good selection. I came here for Sunday brunch with the family. Service was excellent and attention to detail was great. Good lighting and easy parking. I ordered the North Fork burger ($17) and loved it. The buns were really soft. Although it is strange that we got charged $18 for them? Maybe the ranch dressing was extra? Also they accept InKind app here. Definitely want to be back for their dinner menu.

We arrived just after opening and found the tavern welcoming and perfectly suited to conversation. It was happy hour and we thoroughly enjoyed the baked Brie. My son described the half chicken as a spiritual experience! So good! The rest of our group had a BLT or burger and we are still talking about the flavors. Bacon has to be the best in town. The music was great and the staff very attentive.

I will say the salad and the fries were great...but the fish which was awful and and chips were great lacked a lot to be desired. There was way more breading than there was fish. I wanted fish...not a crusty bunch of breading...which is what I got. Sorry guys this was a total miss for sure. Also we ordered a small order of wings as an appetizer and they were awful also...the wings were totally over cooked. Sorry people not sure I'll visit you again.

First timers and came for breakfast. Coffee and cappuccinos came quickly and were perfect for the rainy day. French toast and eggs Benedict were delicious and the waitress was quick and friendly! Absolutely no complaints, will be back!

Great food, service and ambiance! Love the location. Lots of TVs make it a great sports watching venue. I had the halibut which was cooked beautifully! We will be back!

This is an amazing find. First time visiting. The restaurant includes kitchen cooking viewing. The menu is tantalizing. The bar back is impressive. We ordered a few items to share so we could sample the menu. We started with the wedge salad. Two sizes we took the large to split. They split it and served on separate plates, no problem. Their wedge is made with butter lettuce and their own made from scratch Blue Cheese dressing. Next we ordered Mac n cheese . They make their own cheddar cheese cream sauce oh my. Then I wanted to try their fried chicken and cornbread. Hard to find real fried chicken in Eugene. The picture on line didn't look too good but the reviews said otherwise so I went for it. As we were perusing the menu a chicken dinner plate was served next to us. It didn't look like the pictures. It definitely had two pieces of chicken and looked like mashed potatoes. Sure enough that was it. The server confirmed and I ordered it. Now this still isn't the Fried Chicken I'm looking for but, it is a great plate. The chicken is two breasts tenderized and lightly breaded and fried beautifully golden. It's served on a spread of real mashed potatoes that are top quality. The plate is served with a Demi glaze reduction sauce that I forgot to ask its ingredients. It's yummy . We also had the Frickles. They were fine. The breading had trouble staying on? With those 4 items we were both able to be full and had a box with Mac&Cheese and some chicken with potatoes to take home. I had a 25 oz beer and wife had water. We arrived at 4:40 and seated within 5 minutes. We got in just before the 5 O'clock rush. We had the place to ourselves save two other two tops. It started to fill up and I saw a line developing. They do have outside dining which filled up while the inside did. We got the bill and were shocked it was only $64. Salad $19 Frickles $15, Max & Cheese $18, chicken $22 and 25 oz beer $10. We got happy hour prices . I asked what was available for happy hour. Our server (Chelsea) said everything on the menu qualifies. Everything is at least reduced 10 % and some 20%. So we got great food at a very good price. Chris is the manager we had conversation with. He was very attentive and even tried to better the level of the table. He moved us over a table which was still a great setting to us. Looking back I would have liked to sit where I could view the open kitchen to watch the team prepare the plates. That's cause I'm a little bit of a foodie and I like that stuff. Chelsea took excellent care of us throughout the meal. We would highly recommend this restaurant for, Food quality, quantity and presentation. The bar is extensive and selection of Tap beers bountiful. Wine selection, didn't notice. Betcha it's adequate too. This will be harder to get into in the future. Reservations maybe in order. Enjoy

This is a classic brewpub setup. A great menu with brunch options on the weekends. They make good cocktails (I have the Blackberry Bourbon Smash) and have a good variety of beers. We had some classic brunch items - eggs Benny, shrimp & grits and a breakfast burrito. Their menu does change occasionally so always check the whole menu before ordering to see if there is something new. Parking can be a little bit of a challenge in the area but nothing too difficult. Just be sure you read signs bc there are some resident only areas. The staff is friendly and they have a partial open kitchen design. Beautiful bar with lots of seating.

We had two $25 gift cards. After our meal we attempted to pay with the gift card. We were informed that they no longer accept them. I wish I would have known that before we chose to order. There should be some kind of signage. I feel taken. The gift cards were purchased and given to me 18 months ago.

First time coming here to North Fork ! The Tavern was beautiful. The customer service was impeccable. We didn't have to wait not even, Few minutes to be seated. Everyone that work there was so polite and very friendly. Our server gave us great suggestions and mentioned all the specials. All of the food was delicious and decadent on the plates. We had a great conversation with the one of the servers about the other food and how it's our first time there. The prices did not seem too bad, at all. We were amazed and very impressed. My husband and I will be back ! We love this place and would highly recommend this place to anyone!!

Very good service and the food was good also. We sat outside because it was Mother's Day and the restaurant was fully booked. Their heaters weren't working so we were a little chilly but not bad. We'll be back about close to our new home.

This spot is great! Delicious food, full service bar, and if you need a place to watch a game this is a place to come. Indoor and outdoor seating available. Parking is near the restaurant either on the street or in a nearby lot. Service was great, would definitely come back here.

The food was fair ( not great ) had the 1/2 chicken the vegetables that were served with the chicken were cold and on the menu it said it was served with potatoes. There was a very small little splash of potatoes when I asked about it. I was told the potatoes were a garnish. Also, the description of the chicken Said it was served crispy skin. It was anything but it looked like it had been sitting for a while and was warm at best - For the price not worth it ($26 for the main) When we asked about two of the specials, we were told they did not have them that they were sold out even though we were there at 4:30 pm The service was suspect as well. Had to get up twice to get the waitress. For the price I would not return ROASTED HALF CHICKEN oven-roasted chicken, crispy skin, chicken-jus, seasonal vegetables, whipped potato puree - 26

Comfortable place. You can tell the chefs take their job seriously. Food has good flavor. Overall good pricing. I'd come back if I lived here

Happy hour drinks are generous pours with a twist on the usuals. Yum. Kitchen still getting staffed with experience. Roasted chicken was incredibly dry, like a grocery store chicken that had been under the heat lamp all day. Everything was tasty, but when asked for more of the delicious light sauce plate was dressed with to make chicken edible, a small dish with 3 Tbls worth arrived when nearly done and still wasn't enough to save the remaining bites We'll keep going back so NF can continue to rebound and be back to being a really good neighborhood spot

We had a very disappointing experience on Friday evening, October 11. In particular, the manager was extremely rude, arrogant and defensive and acted like we had never been to a restaurant before. The food was nothing special by any means, and service was terrible. We waited 15 minutes to be seated for a party of six reservation when clearly a table for six was available, we were rudely told that it wasn't for us and then eventually we were seated there! Then, waited 15 minutes to get a drink order in and it took over an hour to get our food after ordering with the excuse that they serve parties of four before parties of six, go figure???

My favorite restaurant in Eugene!! The best brunch and really yummy drinks! We brought our dog and sat outside, the waiter brought the dog water and was very kind

Great food, nice servers and bartenders, and an active atmosphere! I've enjoyed almost every meal across the dozen or so times I've been - sometimes the soup of the day is a little iffy, but everything else has always been good. The French fries are thick and salty, the dressings are all homemade and very flavorful, the mac and cheese is a good mix of creamy and cheesy, without overdoing it - it's all a little pricey, but worth it. The roasted chicken is very good, and I enjoy their seasonal specials. Last time I went, they had a beef stroganoff with local mushrooms - yum! ... sometimes I go just for the French fries, haha.

Very good food, just lacking in service a bit. They forgot something on my order and the guy seemed annoyed I asked about it and I wasn't even upset just wanted to make sure I could get it. Would be helpful if they had online ordering instead of having to call in an order.
