Flat Tail Brewing

This Amazing brewery has some of the best beer around. Stopped here while visiting friends in Corvalis and was so glad we did. Coming from San Diego we know craft beer and can honestly say that these guys make some of the best we’ve ever had. Each of their offerings were right on point with the right balance and mix of flavor and hoppiness. Their «Juicy Petras» and «Dam Wild’s» were unique and definitely worth making a trip for. Not only was the beer fantastic but the food was delicious as well. Great quality portions and thoughtful design was evident throughout their menu. They have a great relationship with the town and OSU and the owners who are there every day were super personable and clearly know their beer. After their recognition at the 2015 International Beer Festival and talking with the owner about their hopes for expansion in other parts of Oregon and California, I have no doubt that Flat Tail brewery is going to be one of those beers that is in every establishment that cares about quality craft brew!

Good happy hour food selection. Very good beer. Friendly wait staff. Outdoor seating that is dog friendly is an added plus.

I have no idea what the beer or food are like, but the service sucks. We were shown a table outside, decided to move a couple of table down, I went inside three times to find a wait person to tell them we relocated, while we waited outside a full 15 minutes not one wait person came out to service any of the tables. We finally just got up and left, and as we left the two waitresses finally came out and walked right past us, didn’t ask can we help you or even acknowledged our presence. A waste of time.

I previously rated this restaurant 1 star within a year of it opening. I recently gave it another two tries and was pleasantly surprised. The beer menu has improved. The hummus plate with fresh vegetables is the best in town. They were accommodating to kids, large groups, and the server was smiley and prompt. The service could still be improved by training all employees to smile remember basic customer service skills, but I plan to come back again to this local watering hole.

As always, we had a great lunch and excellent service.
Their burgers are fresh and the waffle fries are a different option.

I went here today for lunch and had the Mash Tun salad with the Cilantro Ranch Dressing. It was good although I noticed that the ingredients on it did not agree with those mentioned on the Unilocal menu. The Unilocal menu mentioned avocado and the pub menu and my salad did not have avocado. The service was very good.

Horrible Horrible experience. High prices. Bad quality food and options. Took 2 hours to be seated and to get our food.

I’ve been here twice for lunch and both times were great experiences. I had a burger, salad and beer both times and they were yummy. The two servers were very friendly and accommodating of my toddler son. Great food, service and beer, what else could you want?

Everyone that works there is incredibly friendly and attentive! It is one of my favorite places in town to go get a cold beer and a tasty appetizer. I usually sit at the bar with a friend about once a week. Love the community that they have built!

This would be my second time visiting Flat Tail Brewing. This would be my first time that counts… I just turned 21 in December.
We were in Corvallis doing some grocery shopping, and we ended up concluding our grocery trip near 4pm. We were hungry so we opted for a bar so that we could catch the game while we were there. We went in at 4:30pm (trouble with parking) so we made it for happy hour, and were seated immediately by a host who looked like she was being kept busy by her customers. We were sat right in the main dining area surrounded by their TVs all synced up to the big game. Our waiter brought us waters and a drink menu, and came back in about 5 minutes to get us our drinks and appetizers. I got a Saison, my girlfriend got a Flower cocktail, and our roommate got some kind of dark beer (couldn’t hear his order, other table was screaming behind us) we also got a basket of house waffle fries– poutine style (brown gravy, curds, and spring onions). The drinks came out rather quickly, and as our taste buds perused our happy drinks, our appetizer came out. The fries were delicious on their own, but the brown gravy and melted cheese pushed them over the top. They make their own gravy using the drippings from their meat, which you can definitely taste. I wish there were more spring onions, though. It needed more bite.
As for food, I got the loco moco (Hamburger patty on a bed of rice toped with an egg and brown gravy (sorry arteries) and mac salad), my girlfriend got the turkey sandwich, and my roommate got the challenge burger (finish your plate, get a drink free). My loco moco was good, the hamburger patty was well seasoned and cooked to my liking (medium rare), and the gravy was as expected. The rice was a little mushy, but that wasn’t too much of a problem for me. The egg was done as I have asked… over easy. The only real problem I had was with the Mac salad, it was not cooked well so I could not really enjoy it. My girlfriend loved her sandwich, she would get it again. My roommate dominated the challenge burger, but he did mention that his fries could have been fresher.
The check came and we paid, then hung out for the rest of the game. If they wanted us to leave, we couldn’t tell. They were very open to us staying there.
Overall, great experience, great food (with some exceptions), and cool place. ⁴⁄₅ would recommend

The brews are some of the best in town and are very under rated, but the food is subpar and overpriced. The service is spotty as well. The last time I was here our service was so slow I walked up to the bar and ordered a beer. The bartender was extremely rude and not very helpful whatsoever. I tried to ask him about a couple beers and he was more concerned about tending to the college crowd. The whole experience put a bad taste in my mouth, I’m not sure if I’ll come back. He practically yelled at me when I asked him if I could add my beer to my parties bill

The people who work there are very nice and seems like they care about who comes and goes. They are just very friendly.
I usually go for happy hour. My favorite item would be the frickles. Its nicely fried and comes with a delicious dipping sauce. I also had the mac n cheese, but its definitely not one of my favorites since it lacks any kick.
The beer and all is great as well and have a decent variety. Other than that, it is a good place to go late at night to kick back with some friends.

I had dinner with family while in town last week. I have eaten here a few times and always happy with the food, from dinner salad to cup of soups on cold days. Last week I had the turkey burger, it was served hot and juicy, with plenty of nice fresh lettuce, avocado, etc.
I thought it came with cheese (it doesn’t) so the waitress took my turkey burger back to the kitchen and they melted a large slice of cheddar perfect on burger for me, no extra charge!
It was a busy night, but our waitress was friendly and efficient.
I like the atmosphere, its fun to sit and watch football on the big screen TV’s they have in here. There is a lot of seating and they also have outdoor seating. We have always been seated right away when we come here even on busy days/​evenings.
I recommend this place for a good burger and watching some football and getting together with friends and family for a casual meal. Great service. The only drawback is the waffle fries. My son-​in-​law and I are not fans of the waffle fries. Please, please bring back the traditional fries!

I like this place, but the service was very slow. Plan some time for the slow service.

I went to school at OSU and recently moved back to town… Everything about flat tail has gotten so much better! The beer was awesome and the food was great. I will be coming back here often!

I like all the OSU sports stuff on the walls, but that has nothing to do with the food. The food is okay. I know a lot of people who love this place… perhaps they should be writing the review. It’s not bad, and I can’t figure out why I’m not excited about the place — I am just not. No real complaint, just nothing really great to say about it either. The wait staff wears tight workout pants — so if that makes you happy, this is your place.

Meh. This word perfectly sums up this place. We came up to go to Block 15, a far superior brewpub, but there was a 30+ minute wait and we were starving, so we ended up here. The place has a nice location near the river, but inside is pretty dark and funky. I understand that beer is brewed here, but it smelled like a run down strip club inside, some combination of pee, old beer and dirty carpets. Not too appealing.
The service was just okay, not terrible, but not great either. The menu offers decent choices, but prices seem about 25% high for the quality of the food you get. I paid $ 13 for a sandwich that really should have been $ 9 tops. My wife got meatloaf that was actually quite tasty, but also overpriced.
In the end I guess we should have waited for that spot at Block 15. I suppose there’s a reason why there is always a line to get in…

Happy Hour chicken strips are the best! Only thing interesting about this place is it’s interesting service. Visit my blog for more details and photos!

Had such an awesome evening. We had a crew of 24 for our company dinner and these guys were so wonderful to work with. We got there and they had even made us some signature drinks and created a drink card. Food was amazing. All came out together. Drinks were wonderful. Owner came out and met us and thanked us for the business. Super fun place to have a party !!!

Stopped in for a burger ($ 7.50 with one side on Fridays). Burger was delicious, juicy. Love that they have cheese curds AND frickles. Was not impressed with the curds though. They were not fresh (no squeak) and tasted more like mozz. Frickles were awesome though and are only $ 3 during happy hour. We also got a beer flight. 8 beers for $ 8. Fun stop, would recommed.
