Headquarters Bar & Restaurant

I was only there once and will not be back. Bad service and bad food. Why should I have to write a huge review and waste my time
Bad food bad service The End.

Repeatedly tried to order an appetizer, waitress simply walked away. She returned 25 minutes after drinks and attempted to take appetizer order with the main meal. Fries were cold. Burger was good. Overall, it did not feel warm and welcoming. Dining area was very quiet, and two servers present. I expected good service, and did not get it. Disappointing.

We ate here on a Wednesday evening between 5 and 6. The food was top quality, service excellent. Couldn’t have asked for anything more. Would definitely recommend this restaurant to all my friends.

Love going here, and often end up here at least once a week. We always sit at the bar because the bartenders are great. They have lots of tvs for sports fans too. Definitely recommend the jalapeños, buffalo chicken dip, nachos, and grilled cheese (but everything we have here is yummy)!

I’m a huge fan of the HQ and I go here frequently. Breakfast is awesome. Great pancakes and they know how to cook bacon real well. (I will say that I am not a fan of their sausage patties though. Too much slice.) Their regular menu is solid. Probably the best cheese curds this side of the Old Fashioned. Excellent burgers and sandwiches. Pulled rook and ribs are wonderful.
Staff is super friendly although they could do a better job of bringing silverware to the table. Seems like a lot of turnover lately but most folks have been there awhile. Michelle especially is awesome. Nobody works harder and treats customers better than Sam and Aubrey though.
Love the new addition with monthly live bands. Outside patio is amazing in the summer time.
My one and only complaint: I’ve been there so frequently that in running out of things to try on the menu.

The food is okay small variety of food. I have been there 5 times in 3 months and service is always so slow. The servers do not seem happy to be there. So don’t expect service with a smile. The Windows must leak air and the building lacks insulation. It is so cold where layers for your dining experience. Unfortunately with few choices in this town, people are forced to eat here.

Impressed again. Mostly. We’ve been here a few times and the food is a step above bar food. House made sauces, smoked meats in house, hand battered cheese curds (highly recommend) and more. The ribs have great smoky flavor but did not fall off the bone at all. Onion rings are decent (expect corn meal/​sandiness but good, sweet flavored onions). My husband got the fish fry and he said they drained it well and it was definitely delicious. I tried the tartar sauce and I liked it! Mostly just mayo, no vinegar or sweet pickle relish (finally!). He loved his waffle fries. I’m obsessed with their ranch. Service was great tonight. We had 2 different waitresses helping us out. The only thing was the older waitress forgot to put our curds in so they came after the entrees. We obv had to bring home boxes. Too much food at once. But better for our waistlines since we didn’t eat as much as we would have if the curds came first. We will be back.

The Nacho’s are great and a good place to watch sports. The bar is really a fun place lots of tv

Been here 3x in the last two months for various reasons. The main draw is their trivia on Wednesday nights; decent host and teams that are fair competition. Earlier in the fall, there were stellar beers on tap, most notably about a half dozen Oktoberfests! Even still, there are great beer selections. I haven’t had «real food» here, but rather broccoli cheese soup, quesadilla, nachos. It was all fine. Unfortunately after the soup I started having stomach issues right away. Prices are reasonable unless you get the «dinners,» though they do sound more tempting than the worse bar food. Really nice but clueless staff; unsure about menu, coupons (i.e. drink book), deals (i.e. vet day). Regardless, probably a decent addition to Oregon and a nice sports bar if one really likes that. Very happy to see trivia in Oregon.

I have been to HQ multiple times now and I hope to become a regular!
Buffalo Cheese Curds are the absolute best. Basically anything on the menu that is fried comes out perfectly crispy. The sandwich on the menu containing their smoked brisket and pulled pork, topped with cole slaw and bbq sauce is amazing! I’ve also been meaning to try their house smoked chicken wings! They also offer a number of wraps and salads for those on diets.
The bar area has plenty of flat screen tvs, good beers on tap, a pool table and dart boards. They can open everything up with big glass garage doors out to a large patio during the summer months.
Once or twice the service has been a little slow but the employees are mostly friendly and seem happy to have you there.

My husband and I love going here. The good has always been what we have expected and the drinks are good as well. Sometimes service could be a bit more prompt, but never a huge delay.

This is a hard one to review. I have a few things I’ve found here that I like very much, but probably only because it’s conveniently located. My kids LOVE the cheese curds (they are quite good) and the kids meals. I like the grilled cheese with basil farmers cheese. I suppose I generally like this place better for lunch than suppers.
The reason I can’t go higher than 3 stars is the service issues I’ve had the last couple times I went there. I went with my mother-​in-​law and young daughter on a non-​busy weekday recently. We were seated and then completely ignored. It was bizarre. Other people were seated and got their drink orders while we tried to catch the eye of a server. How could they miss us with my 4 year old getting more and more ancy. At one point a server made eye contact but then just walked away. It was as though we’d been seated in no-man’s land. Finally my mother in law went to the hostess stand to request a server. About 5 minutes later one came over but no apology or anything. Then at the end of the meal we waited forever for our check. To me it seemed like there was a lack of communication… Somehow no server had been told that we were in their section and so every single server was ignoring us. I went again for dinner with my husband and kids and though not as bad, once again, there was no rhyme or reason to who was getting service first. People who came in after us were waited on first. I just don’t think they’re tracking when people are seated.
Now, the atmosphere. I don’t like the dining area at all. It’s just boring and very open. Like a very small cafeteria. The bar area looks a little more happening but I’ve never eaten in there as they are high top tables and I always have my kids with me. The bar area seems popular with sports fans.
All in all, it’s a decent restaurant to go to with kids who like basic American kid meals. It’s the independently owned version of Applebee’s or something like that.

I so wish I could write a good review here… please…please…please…just based on the stuffed jalapeños…
Yeah…no and honestly I like HQ but something is wrong and it is called service. Let put it this way… the food is mediocure at best and as I stated before… the stuffed jalapeños are AMAZING. But seriously the service is TERRIBLE! Should I run thorough a few situations?
CASE 1: My wife, daughter, baby and I went to HQ for lunch. We ordered appetizers and our meals. By definition and appetizer is «a small dish of food or a drink taken before a meal.» Keyword… before! Yes, the appetizers and our meal came out at the same time… PET PEEVE OF MINE BY THE WAY. Oh wait… it gets better. The manager offers to take our food away and make us new meals after we finish our appetizers. Well, thats a waste and no… we have been here for 45 minutes… don’t want to be longer.
Well, we ate and the food was eh as always but when the bill came there was no compensation, no apologies, nothing. So if you were willing to throw out 3 meals and make them over but your not willing to compensate us somehow for a major issue… whats up with that?
CASE 2: So, we go to HQ another time and the asked for them to turn the NASCAR race on one of the TV’s. They do! So after a hour of watching NASCAR and eating another table comes in and is loud as all sin. The old man asks them to turn the same TV I was watching to a basketball (no, the the badgers) game and they do… like right in front of me as I am watching the race. Like… really? he could not watch on the other 7 TV’s in his view? Well… their loss because we got up and left.
CASE 3: So we go to HQ on a non-​sports day and without the kids. This time we sat in the bar area just because we could. Well, we sat… and sat some more. and… drinks…nope…we sat. Finally I got up and ordered drinks form the bar and was told the wait staff would be right over… we sat and after 20 minutes they came and took our order. Well… they got the Jalapeño appetizer right. After a hour of waiting in a very non-​crowded bar we got our food. A HOUR! Non-​Sports day… hour.
Well, lets say this. I like the place… Oregon needs restaurants badly as they have almost NONE but holy lord… some service would be amazing! But… then again they do have great stuffed jalapeños.

Inconsistent service, but consistently underwhelming.
The weather is lovely today, so we hoped to sit outside but were told food was not being served outdoors. It apparently, it was not being indoors either as it took an hour to get our food.
We were told when we arrived that it would be a 30 minute wait to be seated, unless we wanted to sit at the bar — and food was not being served outdoors. There were about three tables in the bar area that were available but dirty.
Our server told us the food wait was longer than usual because there were a few large groups. One large group left as soon as we sat down. The other large group was eating cake.
Our food taking one hour to arrive was unexpected and uncalled for since half the indoor seating area was empty, and no one was outdoors. We’ve been here on Friday nights where it’s packed and the food arrived much faster.
The food was also not good. On past occasions it’s been delicious though.
The food and service are so inconsistent that I cannot give them more than 2 stars.

Great atmosphere. Service is usually pretty good. The food is just OK.

Many visits later and I’d say they’re a 3 ½ star establishment on a good day. Service is hit or miss. Food is good at times and other times it sucks. They have screwed up our to go orders every other time. Not a consultant enough experience to warrant regular visits.

The few times we’ve been here the food has been great! Service was nice and friendly.

It seems like every time I come here, I become even more disappointed. Oregon, unfortunately, doesn’t have any other place you can grab brunch and a bloody sooo here we were.
There were three of us, very hungry, gals. The bloodys were great! The food was terrible. Raw hashbrowns, waaaayyy undercooked eggs, grease layer under it all.
We actually left our food picked over, went home and cooked breakfast ourselves.
Next time, I’ll just run to the grocery store and save myself the time and money wasted on this place.
The bar here is great! But we’ll never order food here again… ever.

If you’ve been waiting for HQ to get over the «new bar/​restaurant» hump, it’s time to give it a try!
I’ve played volleyball at HQ this season so I’ve been a Wednesday night regular all summer. The volleyball courts are great: awesome sand, no bugs, friendly refs, and their intermediate competition is good bump-​set-​spike volleyball.
I am a huge fan of the food. Each time I sit down I can’t believe the options and the reasonable pricing! A few of my favorites:
Salads — Asian Salad (I had it with Steak)
Appetizers — Buffalo Chicken Dip (it’s like Super-​Bowl-​Sunday-​good); served with tortilla chips and flat bread
Entrees — Southwest Wrap, Turkey Melt (A friend of mine had it the week before and said it was a little dry so I got it with chipotle mayo), friends have also raved about the Touchdown Burger — I haven’t tried it myself.
The place is always packed and I’ve watched the service improve tons since the grand opening chaotic phase. They’ve definitely got it figured out. Cheers guys, good job!

This is a 3 ½ star establishment.
On one hand, they have a long list of beers on tap and on the other, the service can be spotty and we’ve heard the burgers are passable.
That’s why we only order from the smokehouse menu our get sandwiches. They really smoke their meets in an outdoor smoker. We’ve had the pulled pork and HQ sandwich. Both had good, smoky flavored meats, and great flavor.
We’ve also had the buffalo chicken melt and Monetary ranch sandwich, both with crispy chicken. They were very good and the chicken had all white meat and consistent crispy breading throughout.
I’d say skip the wings for appetizers and go with the pulled BBQ nachos instead. The wings had tough meat while other sections our wings were rubbery. The HQ BBQ sauce was very good, but just terrible chicken.
The good part of any sandwiches, melts, wraps, our burgers would be the bottomless fries, waffle fries, or parmesan chips.
