The Beaver Hut & Dam Growlers

Good local fast food «hole in wall» by OSU. Was impressed that the food tasted fresh with wholesome ingredients. Ordered a $ 2 Burger with $ 0.50 extra for cheese that exceeded my expectations. My friend ordered the same without cheese and liked it for its flavor. Full sized beef patty was juicy and flavorful. Grilled bun, was pleasantly toasted to produce a slight crisp. Fresh veggies, tomato, pickles, lettuce and thin fresh onion rings and a special sauce made for a surprising delicious burger. I would say it is as good if not tastier than an In n Out burger for taste and price. Tasted fresh.
Burgers are cooked to order. So expect about a 4 to 5 minute wait.
Friendly, attentive staff on a late Friday night.
Wide assortment of local beers and ciders, including growler fills.
The place is clean. Stainless steel kitchen sparkles.
I would give it close to 4.5 stars, if it had some inside seating.

My husband, teenage son and I came here after a football game. We spent $ 9 on 2 hamburgers, fries and clam chowder. Definitely worth it. Nothing fancy, seating outside. Friendly staff, and quick service!

I had a double cheese burger with bacon for six bucks and it was awesome. The smoking cook that greeted us at the door was kind of a turn off. But definitely going back.

Good little breakfast food and burger spot on Monroe, and they fill growlers! Good food at a low price, overall probably one of the least expensive menus in Corvallis. The service is friendly and quick if they aren’t busy, plus they serve the whole menu all day and are open until 2 a.m. at the end of the week!

Worst service I’ve had at any restaurant. Got there and was the only customer: waited 15 mins for my food and coffee and then didn’t get half of the order and had to wait for them to refund me for the part I was missing. Not impressed

You can get a good burger for not much money here. It’s a better value than Joe’s and most things on Monroe. I go for it regularly. I had the chicken and waffle sandwich once and it was all the worst kinds of delicious. An interesting experience but never again will I subject my body to that.

So I went based on idea that they’ll put gravy on anything. And what I can only call a brilliant menu for a fat guy who may be visiting after a trip to the smoke shop across the street. But there seems to be a good, bad, and an ugly.
Growler selection looks pretty good, if not a little heavy on the ipa’s. Price is average, as are the food prices. I ordered up the combo which was bacon cheesburger and fries. I got gravy on the side because gravy. My roomie got a cheeseburger and chili fries because chili.
Shortly it was placed in front of me with the statement that «seasonings are over there. We don’t season anything.» What? I checked it out and sure enough no salt on the fries. Aww shit, everyone knows salt won’t stick to a fry unless applied directly out of the fryer. That being said I watched as the salt I shook on them tumbled off to line the bottom of the take-​away box. That made the sysco food-​service crinkle cuts even sadder. Strike one IMHO.
Got it all home and we both cracked a tall boy and went to work. Burger was looking good right away, but I couldn’t help but notice it was one of those really perfect looking food service patties. Or at least I think it was, but given the somewhat firm texture and eerily perfect edges it seemed like a pre-​formed. The bacon on the thing was the highlight, in between soft and crunchy and really good tasting. Roommate complained of his cheese sweating instead of melting, but I didn’t notice.
I dipped the bland crinkles in some of the white gravy and gave them a whirl. She didn’t lie when she said they don’t season. It kinda tasted like nothing. I dipped more and more onto each fry hoping for something, anything. But got nothing. Roomie furrowed his brow at his chili fries and proclaimed them «too sweet». I ate one, thought a moment, and gave my best opinion. Manwich. The chili sauce tasted just like Manwich. Not bad, just not really chili. Hrm.
Then it happened. Roomie began pulling a long light colored hair out of his burger. Shit. Shit shit shit. He dumped his food after that and I can’t say I blame him.
It was a pretty disappointing set of events last night I can tell you. A good, plain munchie shack with a dude menu where I can get some beer would have been great. I’m not sure if this is it. Honestly I’ll probably give it a try again and hope they were just having an off day/​slow start or what ever. I hope so.
