    We are from California visiting family on a 15 states 35 day road trip. We just started and I must say we have been to a lot of states but Eugene, Oregon has to be the Greenest I've ever seen. We love it here even may consider retiring here one day. Mcmenamins north Bank was awesome for brunch. The food was amazing we picked a great place to eat.

    Fantastic experience on the river. Enjoyed tasty libations and great food. Highly recommend the outdoor dining. Fire pits, beautiful views and serene location. Will be back.

    This honestly is in my top 3 favorite places to eat in Eugene! Sometimes there is a wait but it is never longer than 5 to ten minutes when I have been there, the staff are very friendly and accommodating and the BEST PART (aside from the food and beverages) is the view of the river! A lot of the indoor seating has window views, but they do offer patio seating. The food has always been good. They offer options that are gluten free and vegan here. The drinks are also phenomenal! I recommend the Ruby Red Ale or the White Rabbit.

    What a beautiful location! The patio seating was breathtaking! The burgers were juicy and cooked just right. Their mystic sauce was pretty good as a fry sauce. The STAR of the show was their raspberry cheesecake!! 🤤 To DIE for!!! Must try!

    STUNNING interior design. It's the best McMinamins location that I've been to, as it's right on the river and has such a gorgeous view. Dim lighting for an intimate dining experience. Not to mention, their food is to die for. I'd expect to pay a bit more, but for good reason. Quality, local ingredients, perfectly seasoned and balanced. I highly recommend the Cajun tots as a side dish! It is also kid/ family friendly. The entire staff team were sweet and welcoming. I have nothing bad to say.

    This was such a nice restaurant. The service was great. We came in at 8 pm. Got seated. Ordered our food. The restaurant reminds me of a Chinese restaurant. Windows all around. Plants everywhere. Nice lights of course.

    Great place with great food. This isn't just a bar but a restaurant on the river that just happens to have a brewery. Beers will set you back about $7.25 each and most cocktails even more so know that going into it. A nice place all around and great scenery.

    I enjoyed getting some take out dinner from McMenamins North Bank in Eugene. Food is always tasty and fresh. I enjoyed a cocktail at the bar while I waited for my food to be prepared. The burgers are always good, and the specials are good as well. I had a cocktail, but do enjoy a beer from time to time. The wait staff is always friendly and prompt.

    We've been here twice and love it. I got the chicken sandwich and my husband got the steak. The atmosphere is mellow, there's grateful Dead memorabilia everywhere on the walls in the bar seating area. The beer selection is great, they've also got a drink menu that features great house made specialties. The staff is attentive and nice. My husband and I are definitely going to be regulars here.

    We met with our aunt and uncle from out of town and had an amazing chicken with peanut sauce soup. All our meals were well prepared and presented. The atmosphere was great for quiet conversation and the service was very considerate. We were there for almost two hours enjoying great food and company and wrapped the evening up with delicious raspberry cheesecake! Wonderful experience and I look forward to the next opportunity to meet with friends there. In the right weather a table on the patio is also a great place to relax.

    It's hard to beat the views from the patio at McMenamins North Bank on a nice day! Beautiful spot. The food is really good and they have great drinks as well. The burgers are $17-$21 but they are really good and so is the fish n chips. I highly recommend any of the Drink flights or the Edgefield Cider if you like ciders!

    Food was amazing. Steak was perfectly cooked, Burgers were juicy and cooked well. Drinks were really tasty too. Not super sweet like other places. Nice patio, cozy place. We had a good time. Service was fine. Thank you

    Wow. Service was horrible. We asked for a booth. The hostess told us it would be a five or ten minute wait. Fine. But, after waiting, she took us to a table. She huffed when we brought this up. We took the table. Almost half an hour later, the waiter finally showed up. Fifteen minutes later we got half our drinks. About ten minutes later, the other drinks showed up...the cream had curdled. Another waiter finally came by and helped. Our food took forever. Tables were dirty, Service was awful, attitudes were awful...what has happened? 5/8/23 Gave them another try. Not any better, had to send food back. No water refills, we ran out of soda, too, about halfway through the meal. Bartender and bus boy were busy playing Rock, Paper, Scissors while ignoring the customers. Really sad. 7/17/23 Well, the service was better, friendlier. But, $20 for 2 fish tacos and a small pile of tortilla chips is ridiculous. The tacos desperately needed seasoning. It is a beautiful spot to sit outside and enjoy the river view. But, too pricey for so-so food.

    This is one of our favorite places in town. Even though we are Vegan and there aren't a lot of options for us, the location and atmosphere make it worth just stopping by for a beer and an order of Truffle Fries to share while we sit and enjoy the river less than 50 feet from outdoor seating. Overall it is a beautiful location with nice ambiance and good food.

    Great little tiki bar right on the river inside a McMenamins in Eugene - who knew! The chicken tenders were spicy enough to love and the tiki libations offered (mai tais, etc) were all traditional recipes from the early 20th century. Not bad! I would know, I used to fire dance for the tiki community regularly at Don the Beachcomber in Sunset Beach CA. Pleasantly surprised by this little spot. Not too crazy busy/crowded even with a game up the street (UO) going on not too long before… and there weren’t stairs to fight (for slower folks like me whose knees don’t do great with tons of stairs). Ample parking not far from the entrance. It’s ADA happy in my book. Tiki bar in a McMenamins - it works! We will have to come back earlier next time for a better view of the river outside. Good eats and service. 5 stars.

    Great food and very friendly service did take out of the 2 salmons and the Asian style rice bowl with veggies was delicious (I special requested the salmon as it wasn’t on the menu for the bowl) and cooked to absolute perfection and seasoned perfectly. One thing I’ll say and i almost wanted to take a couple stars off for it but I won’t; the red eye salmon fillet with broccolini was advertised as “wild caught”, but in my picture you can see both salmons are pink. Wild caught salmon has a red color to the salmon. The red eye salmon fillet was also $35 which is really expensive for REGULAR salmon but i was more than happy to pay that for wild caught but don’t believe I got what I paid for wild caught salmon tonight. Not trying to be picky but if I was paying $35 for the quality then i was expecting the quality but again I won’t take off stars but hope someone does see for correct this. But regardless the salmon was still delicious and cooked to absolute perfection and seasoned perfectly too and the front desk girl was very nice. I would absolutely order again for dinner and would recommend the Asian style bowl with the veggies medley

    The servers and atmosphere are great. The cooks, however, don’t seem to know what they are doing. I asked for medium and what I got is pictured below. It was very rare. I sent it back and requested medium again. This time it took 18 minutes to make and what I got was a burnt, dry patty. In the end I gave up and just accepted that they had no clue how to make a burger. When I brought my concerns up to the manager she wasn’t friendly about it. She basically just brushed me off and said “well you get what you order”. I don’t remember ordering burnt charcoal, but ok… I guess…

    This might be our favorite McMenamins ever. The atmosphere is very inviting and the riverfront patio is a great for a sunny day. We had the Kahlua pork plate which was absolutely delicious along with some Cajun tots. The server was very friendly and the service was very quick. The drinks, the appetizer, and the food all came out very quickly. I saw some other people's food on their tables and everything looked so delicious

  • 5/5 Jackie H. 10 months ago on Google
    This place always has the best drinks. Their food is amazing too, I just wish they had a little bit more to choose from. But everything they do is on point. Plus, they have THE BEST view in Eugene in my opinion. Their patio looks out onto the river and the walking/bike trail goes right by here as well. Highly recommend. It's nice for drinks with friends OR family dinner. Best of both worlds.

    Enjoyable lunch. Had the Elk Burger with Cajon tots and shared a cider sampler. My son had a hamburger with egg on tip and fries. We both enjoyed the meals drinks. Service was good as they were training a new waiter

    Good selection of food choices. As with all McMenamins, a unique and artistic environment to enjoy your food in. Outdoor seating is wonderful alongside the Willamette River
