Steelhead Brewery Mckenzie Brewing

Lunch after picking up family at Eugene airport. Nicest and heaviest chairs we've been in for a while. Seated promptly at the behemoths (you feel old and or important or both being seated in these chairs). Service was quick, nice, and efficient. Red Rhino ale very tasty. Meals great reuben sandwich, great fries, small but good coleslaw; burger sans bun, cooked perfectly, great fries; tomato basil soup declared excellent by the resident vegetarian nice pieces of basil and a good salad with honey dijon dressing on side as requested. Everything was right, and done well. What a pleasant experience these days when restaurant dining can be hit or miss. Oh, and free and and easy parking just outside the back door.

We had Lunch at Steelhead Brewing. Beer highlights: Hopasaurus Rex was a very good double IPA that didn’t taste like 9.5 and the newly tapped Black Rye IPA, so good. As for food, the onion rings were crispy and delicious, the McKenzie dip was served with a very nice horseradish sauce, not too salty jus, pretty good slaw and decent fries. The service was excellent.

Clean Cool Place, very low key. Cool Big Chairs. Great Beer, Great food. ?

I used to visit Steelhead Brewery before the pandemic. The recent changes have lowered their ranking. We ordered the halibut fish and chips with a drink. The fish was overcooked and served in small portions. The drinks were overly diluted with ice. Overall, the prices were too high. I don't think I will be returning. It's a shame, possibly due to new management.

When we left, there was a show at the Hult Center and the restaurant was packed! We were seated right away, which was lucky. The service was incredibly fast - our appetizers arrived in 5 minutes and our main courses came out as soon as we were finished. The food was delicious! I ordered the Cajun penne, which was flavorful with a nice spice level. My friend had the halibut, which was a generous portion with large, flaky pieces. Prices are $15 and up, so it is a bit of a upscale dining spot.
