Big River Restaurant & Bar

Overpriced - poor service - Soup was cols - Entrée served on top of a bed of improperly cooked chicory that was so bitter it ruined the peppercorn sauce as well. Dessert was old and very dissapointing. \r more

Big River is a great place to go out and eat in Corvallis. It is right on 1st ave on the river. Food is always good, and you get what you pay for. When people would ask me where to eat when I worked at the Hilton, I would send them here without a doubt. Calzones are to die for and changing specials are a treat. Great for special occasions and special ""have your parents pick up the check"" dining. Pros: Calzone selection Cons: Busy, not open Mondays more

Where to go in a town you don't know? The answer in Corvallis is ""Big River"". Vary diverse, interesting menu with many interesting combinations of ingredients and probably the best ""home baked"" breads in Oregon. The staff was attentive and knowledgable, the prices are great and although the crowd is large they keep things moving without giving you a feeling of being rushed. I had the 1/2 Rueben sandwich with a small Caesar salad, the Rueben was worth of a Manhattan deli and the salad was crisp, flavorful and had thin, crispy croutons made from the previously mentioned best bread in the state. If you're in Corvallis don't miss it for lunch or dinner. As a matter of fact if you're NOT in Corvallis, go there. You won't be disappointed. Pros: centrally located, lots of parking, exceptional menu more
