Stacy’s Covered Bridge Restaurant

No Complaints here. And I’m a jerk. ;) Walked in early, just after 4. Were greeted enthusiastically by two Ladies. Décor is older. But not crappy. Clean and neat. Asked server for recommendation and went with the flat iron steak. Holy cow that thing was awesome! And the twice baked loaded potato was yummy. Wasn’t expecting it to be so good. Sometimes this towns idea of good, isn’t so good. We’ll be back for sure.

Absolutely love it here. Whether you eat in the bar (Tyler is a great bartender) or in the cozy restaurant side, never a disappointment! Their Lobster Cargot is my fave but I will eat anything they make!

I wasn’t impressed. Soup was barely warm, sandwich had hardly any meat, but had excessive mayonnaise. The wait staff needs to be retrained. They were annoyingly over helpful. We were asked three times in as many minutes by the same person if we needed more water. I asked for a cup of coffee. He brought it to my table, and was back within a minute to ask me if I needed more coffee. I hadn’t even taken a sip yet. The cup was sitting right there, he obviously could have seen it if he had looked. The staff would come over, and it was obvious we were having a conversation, and they would interrupt and start talking. I had heard that the food was wonderful here, but I wasn’t impressed in the slightest, which is a bummer. Couple that with poor wait staffing – I won’t be back.

Stacy’s is possibly the nicest restaurant in town. We’ve eaten there many times & always enjoy our dinners.
I love the seafood bisque, it’s delicious!

Really good food. A great menu and an even better bartender. Tyler can make a great drink for you whether you want a cocktail for dinner or just out for a few drinks with friends you will not be disappointed.

We and another couple had a fine dining experience at stacys last evening. The atmosphere was very nice and the food delicious. Met the owners who were well grounded and the staff pleasant. Had a wonderful time, the price was reasonable and we will certainly eat there again. Thanks all.

We were here with a group of 6 and had no problem getting a seat. Their French dip was amazing but they fries could have been a bit firmer. Our waiter was great and was literally there every time I put my empty glass down!

Enjoyed a seafood bisque and spinach salad. Very pleasant atmosphere the service was great.

Recommended by a relative who lives here, we were not disappointed with Stacys. The entrée spinach salad was huge, with a very tasty warm dressing and ample amounts of bacon, egg, and sweet nuts. The garlic bread with marinara was not as yummy as expected as the bread wasn’t very warm, but the marinara was excellent. My husband got the fish and chips which was also a generous serving, and he remarked that the cole slaw was really good, and he isn’t a cole slaw lover. Overall I was impressed with the food. The server and water boy/​host were very friendly. The ambiance of the place was a bit strange– very eclectic. I couldn’t decide if they were going for an antique look, as there were antique style sconces on the wall, but hanging lights were of a more modern theme. There was an alcove of sorts with a wooden barn like roof over it, and a whiskey barrel at the front door
With a penguin statue holding toothpicks and business cards. But there were painted murals on the walls and some lovely framed artwork. The walls were quite dark so the whole place was dark, including the mismatched furniture, and the carpeting was old and badly worn (please! No carpets in restaurants!). It was quaint, but confusing. However, it was a significantly better choice of a place to eat than any of the fast food joints that welcome you into town.

I am a firm believer that when you love what you do, and you have a good outlook on life and you like yourself, it will show in your food. Cottage Grove has many small businesses that are owned by wonderful people. Unfortunately, this is not one of them. I was rather taken aback by the rudeness of the owner. It felt like she was doing me a favor by me going to her place. I am having a hard time saying if the food was good or not so much. The negativity just spoiled the entire experience. I will probably not go back.

We frequent Stacy;s at least once a week and sometimes more. My mom and I eat lunch there quite often and have always had great service and great food. We go there on Monday nights for their Lounge special prime rib dinner which is super reasonable. My mother and I aren’t big eaters so when we do lunch we usually split a sandwich and order the Caesar salad as a lunch add on. Their salads are all excellent especially the Spinach and Caesar salads. Their onion straws are to die for and the seafood bisque and the daily homemade soups are fab!

Really excellent. My wife made her meal from a bowl of seafood bisque and the lobster cargot while I had the flatiron steak. Hers was perfection and mine was delicious. If we were in town longer than the night then we’d certainly be back
Nice selection of drinks and deserts.

We stopped in Cottage Grove for the night on the way to Seattle. Stacy’s was recommended to us by the proprietors of the White House Bed & Breakfast. We had a glass of wine. There were many local wines to choose from. The wine was great. Sadly we did not eat there and cannot comment on the food, but everything smelled great and it was obviously very full and doing great business.
The best part was how friendly everyone was, from patrons to servers. We were made to feel incredibly welcome. Our server gave us all kinds of information on sights to see, places to go, and all around great suggestions.
We would go back again!

My wife and I loved this place. From the charming rustic décor to the friendly service and excellent food, you cannot go wrong on a Saturday night date or even if just passing through.
We ordered off the earlybird menu and each got the steak with mushrooms. I should have gotten a better cut because I don’t like the toughness of sirloin, but I didn’t want to spring for the premium cuts. I also use a spice rub when I grill up steak at home, so their’s was a bit bland for me (but I can’t blame them for that).
The spinich artichoke dip tasted like it was freshly made from scratch! The seafood bisque was THE BEST I HAVE EVER HAD. Even the complimentary dinner sundae with candied pecans and caramel sauce was superb, and would have been worth $ 5 on its own.
There are cloth napkins on the tables, and the servers dress formally, but diners dress casual. The service is very conversational and friendly, and the wait staff is very young but clean cut in a small town way.
This is not kid friendly, which was perfect for us. LOL.

Had their Miners steak medium rare and it was done perfectly. Best tasting steak I’ve ever had.

Good food. Critique follows:
Enjoyed the Pan Fried Oysters but they needed garlic butter drizzled over them along with lemon. The French Onion soup was tastey, but contained too much bread, and the «slice» of cheese draped over the cup was tacky. Garlic horseradish potatoes were good but a little overpowering. Generally, the quality was lacking for the price. They have a lot to learn. Chef seemed a little up tight. But, probably the best Quality restaurant we’ve found in Cottage Grove so far.

When it first opened, this place used to serve some of the best food and had great service… even worth the commute in from Eugene.
My wife and I have been frequenting Stacy’s about once a month or two since opening, but less and less as the quality and service has deteriorated. This most recent visit was the final straw.
Three times in a row, my usual prime rib came out cold… even after letting the service know that the past two times it’s been off. Her fish was chewy, obviously not fresh.
To boot– service was very lacking, inattentive, nonchalant. No refills when my glass had been sitting empty for 15 minutes. Basically, I ordered, got my food, then a check. We mentioned the poor food quality at checkout and basically received a brush-​off apology. They don’t care.
Wish ownership would take notice. We used to love you guys. I’m pretty forgiving when it comes to food/​service, but it’s just not the same place.

We drove about 20 minutes from Eugene to Cottage Grove to try Stacy’s because at a recent breakfast with 3 of our neighbors they had highly recommended the restaurant.
The restaurant is nicely decorated and a very pleasant place to sit and enjoy a meal. We got there at 5 pm and discovered they had an early bird menu between 4 – 6 pm so we took advantage of it. We were met and seating right away. They immediately brought us some warm bread… delicious! Our server was very pleasant and professional. She quickly took our orders and our meals were brought out promptly.
We both ordered the special spinach salad ($ 3.00 «upgrade» as they call it) and it was amazing. My wife ordered the chicken Marsala and it was delicious and a very generous serving. In fact it was much more than she was able to eat.
The only downside was my order of the crusted fried cod. I felt the presentation of my dish was less than appealing and reminded me of small piece of boxed supermarket fish you heat in the microwave at home. The little sauce on the top of the cod was indistinguishable to something you would get our of a bottle and was not enough to make any difference. The only other thing on the dish were some string beans that were barely warm and bordering on raw. The plate looked barren and the overall presentation was not very appealing. It was much less than I would expect for the price.
However, in spite of hitting on only 1 of 2 meals we will be back. The restaurant is a pleasant place to sit and have a nice dinner. Other than not ordering the cod, we would do one thing differently next time. We would each order the same salad (my goodness it was delicious!) and split one entrée. One of our neighbors said they usually order the half order. I didn’t see that option on the menu and was not told about it. If they have half orders, that might be an option next time.
I think my meal was not indicative of what is served here as a rule. Based on my wife’s meal and what 3 other couples, friends of ours said about the restaurant when they recommended it to us I am giving it 4 stars. It is deserving of 5 stars if I did not take into consideration my meal.

Pros: –Everyone was nice, and the server got our orders right.
–The lobster escargot was fabulous.
–Quaint décor.
Cons: –I ordered the filet mignon medium rare. Instead of coming as one thick cut, it was three slim cuts. Two of the thin filets were medium well. The third was medium. It did not taste like a filet cut, and the marbling of the meat was not consistent with filet mignon.
–It took well over an hour for our entrees to come out.
–We had to battle flies for our food.
–It was uncomfortably hot in the restaurant.
–They did not keep my water glass filled.
–We were greeted with a fish odor the moment we walked in.
We dropped a lot of money at Stacy’s Covered Bridge (it was my wife’s birthday), so it was a little disappointing that the quality did not fit the price.

What a lovely restaurant! The menu selection was broad and the food was excellent. I asked for a different sauce on my salmon than was listed on the menu and they were very accommodating.
The service was terrific. I wish I remembered the waitress’ name because she did an outstanding job with our large party. Everyone raved about their choice.
If you’re in Cottage Grove or Eugene, it’s a «must stop at» restaurant.
Thank you so much for the care you took with our «night before» graduation dinner!
