My wife has already posted her review from our lunch today at the Twisted Snout — here is mine.
The chopped brisket sandwich was delicious — a generous amount of tender smoky brisket covered with homemade dark BBQ sauce. The smoked chicken thigh was also excellent — flavorful dark meat with crispy, smoky skin. The Honey Oatmeal Porter complemented the food nicely. The owner, Becky Miller, was open and friendly — we ended up talking with her for five or ten minutes (since it was off-season and not too busy). We live an hour away in Corvallis. First visit today, but we will be back.

UPDATE: Last time I was in, Nov 2013, some wise guy decided he’d put gum on my door handle. I got it on my dash camera video and showed the lady inside running the place that day if she knew the guy. She said she did and she refused to give me his name so I updated my review…guess I won’t EVER return here. Now in 2016, replies to years old reviews continue to me and others and calling me a liar and something about a dispensary?…bizarre!
In good faith, ORIGINAL: Good BBQ but my favorite here are the wings. Fried to perfection and the sauce selection is great. The place next door is owned by same folks and brews good beer sold here as well. Service sometimes leaves something to be desired.

Awesome food. The burgers, pulled pork, and hand cut fries are incredible. I had the prime rib one time and it might have been the best I’ve ever had. It’s good value for money, too, but sometimes I wish they had more a la carte or smaller items for that little fix that doesn’t bruise the wallet or fill you up.

Not a sandwich lover but wow, pork belly sandwich was one of the best I have ever had – excellent succulent rubbed meat, interesting tasty condiments, and just right bread ( not tough, not soggy). Paired with the honey oatmeal porter, another winner, it was a meal worth travelling for – we drove an hour to try it – and will be sure to come again. Avoid the tourist traps in Newport, this is the place to come.

AWESOME FOOD! The people were very friendly and the prices are reasonable. I really enjoyed the hot sauce they put on my burger. MMMmmm…. Gotta go back to try some of their other stuff. The three of us that ate there each had something different and we all enjoyed it.

Food is awesome, awesome, awesome! I worked here for a little bit and they could have almost payed me in food! The owner’s stu and Becky are great and this business is their life! Love it, my favorite food around by far! Very family friendly and the new brews are great! Pop in and try them.

Dined on 4th of July 2011. 4 tables seated after us had their orders taken and were served food before us. After our orders were taken and we received our food, we’d had it no more than 10-15 minutes when we were told that we had to leave as they were closing up for the fireworks display.
The BBQ is very, very good. But we won’t be back.

I liked the BBQ ok, I’ve had better but I’m from Texas so… The sauces are not up to my expectations, a solid 3 star joint. The service is what brings the 1 star. Arguing with customers online isn’t what I’m looking for in a BBQ place. Dispensary, ¿

Our order: 1/8 pound pulled pork, 2 chipotle chicken breasts, one pulled pork sandwich, one order of fries to go with the meat. We also ordered an Arnold Palmer. I wanted some beef brisket too but they don’t make it (odd).
The food: The pulled pork had very good flavor but it was overcooked to the point of being mushy. The chicken was good–tender and flavorful, not dry. The fries were burned, limp, and very greasy. About half of the fries were so limp and greasy that they draped over the edge of the basket like wet noodles. When ketchup won’t even stick to a French fry because the grease just makes it slide off, there is a problem. The bun on the pulled pork sandwich was charred black and inedible on the top and a sodden goopy mess on the bottom. The Arnold Palmer was served in a ½-liter carafe, which is great, but it was a 50/50 mix of very weak tea and lemonade, which was unmixed. By the time we drank all of the watery tea at the top of the carafe, the lemonade at the bottom had become watery too because of the huge amount of ice in it.
The service: The service was bad. It’s as simple as that. The server was not very friendly and did not inspect our simple food before serving it (it was not busy at all). I was going to order a beer to drink with the meal, but after she took our order, I didn’t see her at all for 10 minutes. She later offered to refill our Arnold Palmer carafe while it was still full. When my wife let her know that the sandwich bun was a lump of charcoal, she rolled her eyes, sneered, and offered a new top for the bun. The proper response is an instant apology and a perfect new sandwich, NOT a new top for a bun.
Strangely, none of those things made me mad. This is what made me mad: They had the nerve to force me to buy BBQ sauce separately from my food at the absurd price of 1.00 for about 1/2oz. Yes, that’s right, that’s $32 for 16 ounces—the most expensive BBQ sauce in the world. They do not provide their own sauce for their food when you buy a meal. They serve “dry” BBQ meat and force you to purchase little half-full plastic cups of their sauce. I have never, ever visited a BBQ restaurant that did that (and I have been to a lot of them). What really made me mad was when I went into their little mini-store in the back of the restaurant and I saw that their retail bottles of BBQ sauce were $7 for 15.5 ounces. That means that they were selling the sauce in bottles for a lot less than they were selling it as a side. Somehow their sauce is worth less when it’s bottled and labeled?! What a rip-off.
If the food served at Pig Feathers is the same food that won a BBQ championship, the competition must be pretty weak. BBQ restaurants should serve the following things: beef brisket, sausage, chicken quarters, ribs, pulled pork, sweet tea, lemonade, crispy fries, corn bread, and several kinds of free (with purchase of a meal) BBQ sauce. Pig Feathers failed those basic requirements.
In the end, the food was OK, truly “fair” and not poor. It is not the best BBQ in the Northwest, and maybe not even in Toledo. The best BBQ in the Northwest is served at Bo-Mack’s in Albany and Adam’s Ribs in Salem. Both of those restaurants (especially Bo-Mack’s) have very kind and helpful people serving delicious BBQ food. Bo-Mack’s even offers up fresh corn bread and Mexican Cokes.

It was literally the WORST CHICKEN EVER!!!
I went here after my husband searched for places to eat in Toledo OR. I run a cleaning business in Albany/Corvallis area, and was asked to come out to Toledo for a deep clean. After a long day of cleaning we were both looking forward to going to eat some good BBQ! ( I lived in Austin TX for awhile and find it hard to find good BBQ here in Oregon, but there were good reviews so had to give it a shot.)
I don’t eat beef or pork so I was REALLY hoping for some BBQ chicken. Well, I pretty much had two chicken options to choose from, the Chipotle Chicken Breast or Hammered Chicken Sandwich also Chipotle. After being told that both options were prepared the same way, I ordered the sandwich. When I got my food the first thing I noticed is that the chicken was not BBQ’d or grilled at all, plus the hammered chicken apparently means just that, squashed pretty flat. I took two bites to try to give it a chance, plus I was REALLY hungry. I could not do it though…
I went to the waitress because I did not want the food and could not eat it. I asked her how it was prepared, she told me it was PAN FRIED! At a BBQ place! I couldn’t believe it. The other chicken was prepared the same, so it didn’t matter which one I ordered. I let her know I was disappointed and that I was really looking forward to some actual BBQ’d chicken. I let her know I couldn’t believe that it was pan fried…I told her I had tried to eat some of it because I was so hungry from working all day. She didn’t try to resolve the situation by offering anything else at all, and she came and took the mostly uneaten food away and still charged us for it. My husband paid while I walked out to the car, I was so disappointed I wanted to get out of there. He didn’t tell me they still charged us until we were pulling out of there…
My experience was extremely disappointing overall and I writing this for other chicken eaters, so they can have some other opinions to help base their final decision on where to eat in Toledo.
From one business owner to another I do apologize for the bad review, however, as a person who appreciates great BBQ’d chicken and good customer service…something had to be said.
