“Went there tonight for my birthday and for the first time. The ambiance: amazing! Went with the family and it’s so cozy in there! The service: super attentive. Our server was very knowledgeable about every part of the menu and explained it thoroughly. Really cool pronunciation of all the menu items (I butchered everything 😂) The food: OMG, the food! We shared a margherita pizza and a seasonal polenta appetizer —it was fresh and amazing. I had the seasonal mushroom ravioli with a truffle cream sauce. My partner had the squid ink pasta. His parents each had one of the chicken dishes. We then shared two chocolate forward desserts. We left stuffed and happy. Our server kept apologizing for the speed of service but we were very happy to just chill out and visit and enjoy it all. My partner and I look forward to returning and enjoying this establishment again as a couple. I highly recommend it!”
“The food was amazing, perfectly cooked. But there were ants all over our table and where the flowers were, that was kind of gross. It was also really cold by the window. Otherwise everything was great. :)”
“This is an amazing restaurant with a big heart. I really enjoyed the Dan Dan noodles and Seaweed Egg soup the last time I ordered here. Today I came for the free SNAP meal, as I work long hours for low pay in the music industry as a single dad supporting my daughter, and the loss is significant. It was a huge portion, and it was delicious, would have given it 5 stars if I had paid for it <3”
“Ah, Bar Purlieu— Eugene’s sly wink to Paris, tucked along Willamette like it’s hiding from the drizzle and waiting for someone who understands that butter is not an ingredient, it’s a worldview. At the helm is Chef Trevor Rivera, who cooks like a man fluent in both restraint and indulgence — a rare bilingualism in Eugene. You walk in and the lighting does that flattering thing French rooms do — dim enough to forgive, bright enough to seduce. The chalkboard menu reads like a postcard from Lyon written by someone who’s been drinking since noon. There’s filet mignon, of course. There has to be. And when it arrives, the steak wears its sear like a medal earned in battle. The pommes frites stacked beside it on the appetizer plate sits with the quiet arrogance of something that knows Belgium and France have argued over them for centuries. A quick drag through the shallot-laced pan sauce and suddenly you’re contemplating the Napoleonic wars for no good reason. The escargot? Swimming in Persillade Compound Butter — parsley and garlic whipped into submission — so unapologetic it could broker peace between vampires and mortals. You mop it up with baguette that cracks audibly — the culinary equivalent of snapping a well-made cigar. Somewhere, Auguste Escoffier nods in approval. Winter belongs to the Smoked Duck & Buckwheat Crêpe — earthy, faintly nutty buckwheat wrapped around smoky duck that tastes like it spent the afternoon considering its life choices over a wood fire. It’s rustic without being sloppy, elegant without being precious. The kind of dish that makes you slow down whether you planned to or not. Wine here isn’t a beverage; it’s a narrative device. A Beaujolais that starts playful and ends brooding. A Sancerre sharp enough to slice through the Willamette Valley fog. You sip, you lean back, you wonder why Americans ever thought we needed ranch dressing. Dessert arrives with that theatrical French flourish — crème brûlée, its caramelized top shattering like the Bastille under the tap of a spoon. Inside: silk. Sweet, restrained, devastating. Bar Purlieu isn’t trying to reinvent France. It’s reminding you why France mattered in the first place — technique, indulgence, and the radical idea that dinner should linger. In a town powered by coffee and earnestness, it feels delightfully, deliciously decadent.”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“The best beef, salad, vegetables and cocktails in town. Perfect date place”
“Seriously best pasta in Lane County. I will not go anywhere else for my birthday dinner! Service has always been amazing and the staff are so kind.”
“My wife and daughter had the Thanksgiving special. Wife says it’s the best Turkey she has ever tasted. I had a steak and it was excellent. Our server Olivia was perfect. Her sense of timing was some of the best I’ve seen in my 68 years. Highly recommend Kennedy’s!”

“This place is amazing. The food was absolutely delicious. The service was top notch, even during the busy dinner period. I love all the art and things around the restaurant. The giant doll from Squid Game that moves and plays sounds was a great touch. Highly highly recommend this place!
Ive been back 6 times in the last 3 weeks and everything here is AMAZING! Alex and David are fantastic. Always so friendly, outgoing, and personable. This place is truly a hidden gem”
“This is my new favorite restaurant! I have a dairy allergy and almost cried when I realized that I could actually order biscuits and gravy, french toast, and even nachos off of their regular menu. If you have a special dietary need, tell them and the staff is so understanding. They have amazing vegan pastries. The vegan chocolate croissants are to die for! I live two hours away, but will return to Eugene again and again to try everything on their menu.”
“I’ve been going to global delights for 8 years now and it’s my favorite part of my day . I love the girls that work there , everyone is always friendly and you feel like you’re talking to a friend when you go . The coffee is amazing and you can tell it’s made with love . It’s a great place to try if you’re looking to support a local coffee shop.”

“Delicious bagels made from scratch. Coffee was really good too. My daughter enjoyed the sweet puffs and I had an everything with pesto cream cheese. Brie and staff were very friendly. If you want an authentic east coast style bagel this is the place to go. Shout out to New Jersey doing it proper.”
“I was introduced to Fresh & Natural by my coworkers. I saw them having food delivered almost every day from the same place and had to ask them where it was from. They were totally surprised I hadn’t heard of Fresh & Natural. They explained it was a family owned and operated small business they have been frequenting for years. The first item I selected to try was a breakfast burrito (even if it was for lunch, who doesn’t love breakfast for lunch of dinner?). Now, I’m used to ordering a breakfast burrito and getting a huge tortilla filled with far more food than I could eat in one sitting. I was pleasantly surprised when I was handed a normal-sized burrito, but thought it looked a little on the small side. After finishing the burrito, I was surprised how nicely full I was, but not overfilled. The content and quality of everything was great and perfectly filled me for the rest of the work day. Next up was a simple bean and cheese burrito. I’ve found that over the years there are two types of bean and cheese burritos, whole pinto bean and refried. I was pleasantly surprised when I found out they used whole pinto beans, as I find them more flavorful and far less greasy. I did make the mistake of ordering a regular (I only order the small size now) sized the first time, and it was enormous. It was incredibly flavorful, the cheese was melted perfectly and once gain, everything tasted fresh and filling. Unless you want enough food for a couple of meals, go for the small the first time at least! The final item I frequently order is the chicken quesadilla. This is definitely my favorite most of the time. I find it to be the perfect amount of food for a lunch when I’m on the more hungry side. The quesadilla comes with some nicely seasoned chicken, melted cheese on a grilled tortilla. It is cut into multiple pieces and comes with guac, sour cream and salsa. If I’m not really hungry, it may be too much for lunch, but a leftover quesadilla is never a bad thing! We joke at work that all the food tastes so “fresh and natural” as we don’t feel “gut bombed” no matter how much we eat of there food. I think that is a testament to high quality ingredients combined with talented and trained staff who obviously know how to cook. If you haven’t tried Fresh & Natural, put it on your list!”
“Before heading to the airport we stumbled upping this place. We ordered the cucumber salad and two plates of soup dumplings. Everything was amazing. We’ll be back when we are in town. Already told a friend to go stop by to try it out. I took a photo after we ate since we dug right in and couldn’t stop until it was all gone. Thank you guys.”

“This is one of my favorite dinner spots! I super love the ginger goji berry tea served in the winter. I also love the beef noodle soup with sauerkraut here. I also love the chili oil dumplings and cucumber salad here. If there's any complaint, it's not much but we often have to wait a long time for our food - most of the dishes are served but there's always a dish ...... that isn't served.”
“I have eaten at Kkoki Korean BBQ twice this week. Each time the staff were super friendly and attentive. First time I got the Bibimbap with beef bulgogi it was incredibly delicious, second time I brought my mom and we got the all you can eat bbq as expected everything was delicious and great quality. My mom had never had Kbbq before and was impressed with the food. I highly recomend Kkoki's to anyone who would like to try kbbq.”

“Oh my god... the poutine!!! My first time.. and yes, a die and go to heaven moment. Fries smothered in gravy with cheese curds! We just ate at Falling Sky Brewing I had the most luscious cubano! With crispy and juicy shredded pork, ham, cheese and pickles squished to deliciousness. And the perfect amout of mustard... the mustard is what makes it for me! With a side kale ceasar, a perfect pairing. Hubby had the Ruben, with house made pastrami and saurkrawt. Not too sour, on a marbled rye. He loved it. Son had a grilled chicken club with parmesagn garlic fries. Another win! We all drank their homemade ginger ale and root beer.”
“My home away from home. I’ve worked in a lot of establishments as a host and as an employee at all levels. This makes me a little picky about strange things like, employee retention, a love and involvement from owners, a mutual respect among employees, excellence in service, attention to details. Last but not least- knowing their customers- how they like how what when and where is remembered and held somewhat sacred. Being a regular here is being part of a family as staff or clientele. As long as I have breath in my body and they will have me I will host a show here for my own sanity and well being. More places should pay attention to how these people do business on all ends. It’s a privilege to be a part of in any way. ❤️Bre”
“Family friendly. Good burgers and fries. And kids eat for $5. Let’s say that again $5. Less than McDonalds and your kids can eat real food. The burger from the kids meal is a real, full size burger. Not a kids slider or micro sized version of an adult meal. It doesn’t get more family friendly than that.”
“I love this restaurant. I've been going here for years. I always recommend it to people that are looking for a great locally owned gem, have just moved here or are visiting. I love the authentic Italian food. And the building is a very cool older house with a great feel to it. I think its very romantic and a nice place to treat yourself/loved ones. Its privately owned by 2 Italian gentleman. Hence the name. Sometimes they will be at the restaurant and are very friendly and fun to talk to. I highly recommend.”
“Delicious food, friendly service, lovely experience every time!”
“We had the omakasa dinner. The overall ambiance of the restaurant was wonderful, especially after rewatching Akira. The music, the vibe of the sushi chef and staff really added to our evening. Between the sushi, and the food from the kitchen, everything was so good that I didn't want to even interrupt the flow by taking any pictures. The amount and quality of food we got made the price 100% worth it! The chefs make whatever they want to make. So you can have different experiences each time. Would recommend! Will be back!”

“Went Thru Drive Thru thats Why Only One Star. On Atmosphere, Friendly Staff, Operating Drive Thru the Way it Should Operate (Not Sending Everyone to Waiting Parking) Food Order Was Right and it Was Hot Looks Like it Runs Smoother than Other McDonalds I worked at the McDonalds a 40 years Ago Has Changed Alot”
“Bartini was incredible. The drinks and vibes were so amazing! Nyah had all the good energy and was so sweet!”
“If you love Korean food, this is the place to go. No difficult Eugene streets, no difficult parking. Easy to find off the main road. Very clean inside. The lady who owns it is very nice. The atmosphere is peaceful and the food is clean and savory. Anytime I need good chicken cutlet over rice with delicious sauce like all the popular videos online I come here to feed that craving.”
Takeout Restaurants
“This was one of our favorite places visiting Eugene. Not only was it our first stop for food, but we loved every bit of it but we decided we would go back to end our trip.
We got the Carnitas, fish, Al pastor, asada tacos and a side of chips with their Guacomole.
My partner said it’s one of the best fish tacos he has ever had. My carnitas were also perfect! Not oily and very tasty. We sat outside on the cute picnic benches they have out front. It was a busy day and they were quick on their feet. The food was delicious and we would recommend this to anyone visiting Eugene!”
“This place is amazing, if it were any nicer I would feel out of place lol, they help the needey, I was hungry and they fed me (lol)
Everyone who eats and works there seems so nice and personable, and the ingridients and decor (i found out today) change with the seasons!! #Weneedmore places like this
I think even the biscuits are wholesome and handmade”
“Curbside is perfect for me. I loooove not having to get out of my car. I’m almost always very happy with my cookies. I love novelty so Crumbl usually brings me some joy. If you leave notes in the app when ordering they’ll add stickers and bows to make your cute box look special and fun!”
“They are excellent at customer service and have a high quality product. This is not your typical ice cream, they do have some odd flavors. Taste them, you might like them. My favorite is strawberry balsamic vinegar black pepper. It's delicious. I was less fond of the pear blue cheese, pears are fabulous, but the blue cheese bite was not quite working for me, but I have a very unrefined palate. They do have more normal flavors, I had peach pie flavor during that season. They have seasonal flavors. I'm on a mission to keep trying the weird flavors, so I'll be back, often. It ruined me for other ice cream because it is an adventure. I save all my ice cream calories for them. I get the 2 half scoops in a cup. Look at the menu before you go. This is not your typical ice cream shop. That being said, they have a freckled mint chocolate chip that looks delicious made with NICE ingredients, and a double fold vanilla, that sounds delicious, and a couple of decadent chocolate ones, (I'm avoiding chocolate for the time being and I'm still playing with the odd flavors). Next stop...olive oil. I heard its great.”
“I went out looking for a cheesecake for my husbands 50th birthday. the place I knew to go to couldn't get it done when I wanted. that's how I found Abilities Diner and Bakery. I had heard about this place but didn't know where it was. I was so happy to notice it when I was driving by. they were able to get my order when I wanted it. thank you.”
“This is an amazing restaurant with a big heart. I really enjoyed the Dan Dan noodles and Seaweed Egg soup the last time I ordered here. Today I came for the free SNAP meal, as I work long hours for low pay in the music industry as a single dad supporting my daughter, and the loss is significant. It was a huge portion, and it was delicious, would have given it 5 stars if I had paid for it <3”

“Visited here for the first time today and want to say thank you to the owners who provided excellent, clean, healthy and delicious organic vegan food with great attention to detail and commitment to vegan principles. Bravo, and all good wishes for your future success.”
“1st time at this establishment. I watched the owner/operator freshly press out by hand the pizza dough, adding toppings requested. I asked for a full pizza and owner was incredibly chill and kind in processing my late night dinner. Reasonable cost for size of pizza came to $30, the pizza was huge and without asking he delivered it to me to my car. The taste was absolutely incredible, even my spouse couldn't get over how good it was. Was going to post a photo, but we ate it 1st. It was that good. Highly recommend and will definitely return again. ⭐️🌟⭐️🌟⭐️🌟⭐️🌟⭐️🌟”
“I love this eatery. It reminds me of places you can find when traveling the globe off the beaten path. These folks make great food and are a friendly family. I lived in Mexico for 2 years and this is Authentic to the core. Tired of the Taco Times, Burrito Boys, and Tacovore's plastic caste replica of Mexican dining? You should eat here. I would eat 3 meals a day here every day for the rest of my life if I could.”
“this place has gone downhill ever since the pandemic. came here on my birthday for their bread pudding only to be told "we don't have it today". oh, how perfect that I wait all month to come here on my birthday, and when I do, they don't have the items they advertise on their website. but hey, I only have one birthday in the whole calendar year, and never get to treat myself, no big deal. next time I'll just go to dairy Queen or something. or maybe they should change it to "weekly specials" since their monthly specials are t available all month”

“Our go-to place in Towanda for breakfast, lunch, snacks, cocoa… whatever we’re in the mood for! We homeschool and my sons have completed their daily lessons many times while having a meal, then gone to play with the toys in the back! The employees are very friendly and the customer service is excellent.”
“So my addiction started one day 🙃 I was had went to the mall to get a PHO Bowl to find out they had closed down 😔 .. I wasn't to sure what I was going to get so I got a vegetarian burrito from the Mexican spot ,which was phenomenal, if you haven't ate there you should and I hear in the distance someone say vegetarian dumplings 😅 I look up at my husband and say did I just hear what I think I just heard 😅 so he walks over there and im right behind him .. needless to say I ended up getting steamed vegetarian bao and a 16 piece vegetarian pan fried dumplings and it was amazing .. I have a bao-ing-out problem know 😆 🤣 😂 thank you for all the amazing food you all put out ...”
“Charming brunch restaurant in the little town of Coburg. 10 minutes north of Eugene. Absolutely delicious! The Benedict and French toast were amazing! We will be back soon ❤️”
“We came in on a Sunday evening during open mic night, and it was great to hear a wide selection of Eugene musicians. Coldfire has some of the best beer in the state, and a very welcoming environment.”
“I have eaten at Kkoki Korean BBQ twice this week. Each time the staff were super friendly and attentive.

“Hands down the best I have had since I was a young. Delis just don't make them like they use to. Scribles breaks the mold. They have a fantastic selection. Great staff, relaxed atmosphere. bring you appetite. It's an adventure working my way through the menu. 5 star over the top...”
“Myra, the owner of Burrito Girl, has been feeding me for years now. Her food is so fresh and delicious. Her beans and rice are the very best and organic, too! Really, everything is amazing. Support this wonderful small and local business owner. Text the order in and she’ll have it ready super fast. 💜💜💜”
“Actually I do NOT recommend this place! I ordered the RBG sandwich, and it was one of the worst sandwiches I ever had. The bread was dry and the ingredients were skimpy and fell out of the bread. The chickpea spread was almost non-existent. I paid $8 but it was worth about $1.50. I do NOT recommend this sandwich or this place.”
“Just had our first order (via GrubHub) and everything was FANTASTIC! Amaaazing GF panini, green juice, smoothie, and vitality bowl. This is a new favorite for us! 5 out of 5 stars.”
“Crystal in the office is very helpful. The Guatemala was delicious. Note this is NOT a cafe - it is a place to pick up aromatic roast coffee beans.
(There's plenty of parking)”
“Amazing customer service! Thank you Kevin! Also you can’t go wrong with any thing on the menu!”
“Awesome Hoppy Hour special. Bratwurst Board for $4.95. Plus several beers and ciders for $4.00 during Hoppy Hour, 2-4pm weekdays. The brat was delicious, grilled sauerkraut was awesome, and I loved the curry ketchup and two-mustard sauce. 👍👍”
“Always delicious uniquely crafted food and drinks and fantastic service.”
“The food was not only beautifully presented, but equally as delicious! The interior gives you a cozy feeling and lovely decorated. I would definitely recommend this gem of a family restaurant. Also, probably the best sushi in town.”
“everything is good decorating, very testy but not too heavy sauces. The scallops were really soft and flavored, the octopus was easy to chew dressed fresh salad. The shrimps were soft with mango salad, the chicken on the stick was surprisly testy! Sticky rice with ice cream mango was great, the tiramisu was unusual but delicious too. The service was excellent, friendly, feel like visiting a friend s house. Of course the environment was clean and tidy, comfortable.”
“Absolutely fantastic. I've ordered through Doordash and it reheats very well. Came in a few times with a girl i liked (she didn't like me back, but that's not the restaurant's fault). 5 stars”
“Great selection; friendly, helpful staff; reasonable prices. Couldn't ask for more. Strongly recommended for anyone wanting to expand their tea experience.”
“Yesterday was my first time at Sushi Pure. I was astonished by the miso soup. It has to be one of the best in town. The cucumber salad was also so refreshing and flavorful. But my favorite part was the Sunshine Roll, because it had some kind of fish that melted in your mouth like butter. It was extremely delicious! Would definitely eat here every week if possible.”
“The chicken katsu bento box was absolutely delicious, the tempura shrimp an the giozas were crispy and delicious too. The sushi and the tonkatsu ramen were also pretty good! The service was fast and friendly.”
“Had the Pub burger with Havarti cheese and fries. The burger was cooked the way I had asked for. The waitress was friendly, but when I asked for a refill on my soda, she never mentioned that they charge full price for a refill of soda. If knew, I wouldn't have asked for another. Please let customers know so they know what to expect on the bill. Other than that, I was happy with my visit.
Wheelchair accessibility: Yes, had accessibility and parking.”
“J-Tea offers a great selection of pu'er, oolong, and aged teas; as well as decent black, green, and herbals. He is friendly and knowledgeable. I recommend coming into the store to chat with the owner Josh and try out the Stand & Slurp events! Great tea for the price and quality if you are searching for better quality loose and whole leaf teas.”
“Really relaxing place to escape the hustle bustle and the service from front and backend of house is great. Food items a but limited at night compared to other mcmenamins but I can see the appeal being somewhere to escape and unwind in a cozy comforting space is worth the visit.”
“We had 3 dishes and 2 appetizers and it was all DELICIOUS. 🤤 Great service for being a busy Friday night, too!”
“This is the best pub in Eugene. The bartender is amazing!!! He has the best recommendations and banter. I started going for the whiskey and bourbon. Kept going for the bartender, and the BLT with soda bread. If you love whiskey and bourbon, BLT, and good company.... this is the place to be. The food is amazingly priced, but I always spend extra for the whiskey because this place is worth it.”
“Our first time here, and we truly want to sing their praises because we had such a wonderful experience! This team worked so hard, and everyone was incredibly professional, welcoming, and attentive. Everything was beyond amazing!
We were greeted immediately and seated within just a few minutes. Our server, David, was absolutely amazing and so helpful. He was attentive, friendly, and made us feel so well taken care of.
The manager, Britney, was so welcoming and kind. She went out of her way to make sure we were having a great experience, and she recommended the banana dessert. Let me just say — it was EVERYTHING she said it would be and more! Such a fantastic recommendation.
And I have to mention the Matcha Martini because it may honestly be the best drink I have ever had! It was absolutely incredible.
From the moment we walked in until we left, the service, the atmosphere, the food, and the drinks were all beyond amazing. You can truly tell how hard this team works and how much they care about their guests.
A huge thank you to David, Britney, and the entire team for making our first visit so special. You guys deserve to be recognized and celebrated for the incredible job you’re doing. We absolutely loved our experience and cannot wait to come back!”
“A beautiful spot to enjoy a glass of wine & fresh creative food delicacy. A true special occasion destination.”
“Sat outside along the river during sunset. Only critique is to have someone take a brush and de-web the outside cabanas before each day starts. Seeing the spider webs above me gave me the crawls the whole dinner. But the burger was good, fries were good, and the tots were also good.”
“absolutely delicious. had the Iris roll and fell in love with it. the soybean paper 'chef kiss' also the Ny steak Teriyaki was tasty. great service, will definitely go again”
“Amazing service from Scott. We had a variety of pasta dishes, fried calamari and Parmesan bread. It was all delicious. Our finicky teenagers loved it! Great hip atmosphere. Highly recommend for families.”
“The wine we had was very good - the sparking rose and pinot gris. The view was excellent. But I'm curious about the reviews that said friendly staff. The bartender was rude and dismissive. When we asked if we could take the food menu to our table to look at it for a few minutes he said no - take a picture of it with our cell phones! Too bad if you're trying to cultivate a friendly atmosphere. Maybe he was "overwhelmed" because it was a Friday night!”
“This place was awesome. I heard they had a cake that is to die for. I decided to have a rock fish and chips with a cider. Hard cider which was awesome all together. I recommend stopping by this place . It is on Territorial Highway heading towards Lorane Oregon. Just after King Estate Winery entrance.”
“Very nice, food and service is fantastic! I have driven past this place for years without considering to eat here! Today I decided to give them a try! I expected a run of the mill restaurant, I was blown away at how nice this place is! Everything from the table to the restroom is very fancy and clean, and the food was just amazing! The outside look of the building is deceptive, the inside is a pleasant surprise! Will be going back often!”
“Very nice lunch at new 5th Street location with long time Eugenians who dined with Poppi in the early days at the 1st taverna. A real delight was the very knowable history the current staff embrace, great training here matches great food!”
“The sake, the clams, the crispy rice, the sushi, and the tempura cheesecake were all amazing.”
“Service is very good in my opinion. Food is decent. Seating is ok, however if some rude person is sitting next to you, you can feel their every movement in your seat so control yourself and dont be an inconsiderate nuisance”
“Fun sports bar. Servers were friendly and fast. We just had apps and drinks but the main menu looked great. I’m sure on football Saturday and Sunday it’s a fun place to be!”
“Spectacular place to eat with family, friends, your couple, the best Margaritas in all Eugene !! By faaarr 💜💜”
“Really stellar wines! I'm having a hard time deciding what to buy; I can't take it *all* home. Our server is fantastic, too, and the building is lovely. I highly recommend the Oregon / New Zealand flight!”
“This is the best tea in town and the owner is friendly and kind. Come by and see for yourself. 🫖”
“Great service , great atmosphere , amazing customer service , enjoy spot to get some alcoholic beverages , and a great spot to do your local gambling , come check them out 8-close !!”
“I needed a fix for my cravings for light fried and lasagna w a sip of sangria and Olive Garden popped up. I ordered two appetizers, lasagna and sangria. I get tipsy very easily but enjoyed my time here and my stomach was happy, glad I am not driving. Will be back again. Thanks !”
“They must've seen how sappy me and my romantic partner were being, because they put us in the most "Lady and the Tramp" part of the restaurant, right in front of the gas fireplace. The service was great (Leo 🤘) and we ended up cleaning our plates. Well done.”
“Started a little slow but a different waitress took over our table and everything was absolutely amazing from there on out . Honestly I was blown away, flavor ,quality, presentation and time. ON POINT. The only form of improvement i could hope for is that the shells on the birria tacos were a little more crispy. But overall amazing.”
“I've been getting takeout from Tasty Thai for more than 15 years and it's always top notch. It is a special treat for our family every time. We are so thankful that they are here in our neighborhood. Honestly it has even gotten better lately with a few new dishes. Really divine flavors.”
“We are here visiting from Florida. We were told beforehand that this was the place to go for Indian food. Glad to say we weren't disappointed. Everything was delicious, and the service excellent. We even ordered extra food to take home. We were greeted by Usha and we would like to say thank you, and this is a wonderful restaurant. Loved it.”
“Excellent food, generous portions! Great service from Barb, who treated us like family. We will definitely return😊♥️”
“Growing up in Italy, I’ve always had high expectations when it comes to pasta, and The Old Spaghetti Factory has become one of my go-to spots here. I stop by often for their classic spaghetti with mizithra cheese and browned butter. simple, rich, and so comforting, it instantly brings me back to Sunday family dinners in Turin. The quirky, vintage atmosphere makes it even more special, almost like stepping into a storybook”
“Fantastic burger! We arrived in that weird in-between time mid-afternoon and there was a lone cook in the kitchen, so things were s little slow and not entirely correct, but so delicious it was quickly forgotten.”
“I just had the Indonesian Curry with Shrimp dish and it was amazing! I would absolutely recommend this food cart. Thank you!”
“Roadhouse Billiards & Brew has a fantastic pool atmosphere and great food, and they consistently give back to the community through both donations and service. Thank you for supporting our pool community!”
“Amazing place. Great shake, especially if you want something tasty and sweet but also healthy. We’ll be back!”
“The Starlight Lounge is the sort of place that makes you wonder if you've accidentally wandered through a tear in the space-time continuum and landed in a better era. The lighting is low, the atmosphere is perfect, and every square inch feels steeped in the kind of vintage character that can't be manufactured by a corporate design committee armed with Pinterest boards and reclaimed barn wood.
This is a proper lounge.
The kind of place where conversations happen at a civilized volume, where the bartenders know what they're doing, and where the room itself feels like part of the experience. You half expect to see a traveling salesman from 1958 closing a deal in the corner while a jazz record spins somewhere in the background.
The poker machines feel wildly out of character, like someone parked a row of slot machines inside a Raymond Chandler novel. They clash with the vintage lounge vibe in a way that never quite makes sense.
The anime shrine, however, is another matter entirely.
And then there was the Old Fashioned.
Sweet merciful heaven.
In an age when too many bars serve carefully crafted cocktails over a sad pile of ice chips resembling the aftermath of a Zamboni accident, the Starlight Lounge understands the importance of the large ice cube.
One magnificent crystal block floating in a perfectly balanced Old Fashioned, chilling the drink without watering it into submission. As God, bourbon, and common sense intended.
The cocktail was excellent.
The atmosphere was excellent.
The vibe was excellent.
Five stars. Pull up a chair, order an Old Fashioned, admire the room, and enjoy a brief vacation from the 21st century.”
“Philyaws catered a work event and the food was BOMB. everyone knows i have BBQ food, but this was seriously the best food ever. The staff were professional and friendly. I’m definitely keeping them in mind for my wedding in 2027.”
“Just had my first pizza here tonight, it is absolutely fire. All the ingredients are super fresh, they square cut their pizza, and they used the perfect amount of sauce. My only critique would be that they should leave their pizzas in the oven a little longer but besides that definitely gonna be spending my money here FREQUENTLY”
“Although the food was pretty good, she declined to accept my $50 gift card stating they are only good for one year, when in fact Oregon law states gift cards have no expiration in Oregon. I would have used it sooner, but I ended up with Cancer and was unable to use it. Also nowhere does it state on the receipt or card there is an expiration. The hostess was so kind and actually said she would ask the owner where the original payment went, she called me moments after leaving and said she was told "they just keep the money" I would not recommend purchasing gift cards from this establishment”
“Wednesday night open mics are the best in town. Saturday slam every Saturday, where you can rap and sing on tracks being made live. so much creative fun.”
“Great evening tonight as always and I had the pleasure of meeting the owner again and his wife…first class all the way…”
“Best breakfast in town, and they have mastered making gluten-free food INCREDIBLE!”
“We had a fantastic wine dinner that took us back to Sicily. It was an amazing time with perfectly prepared dishes, paired up with some new and interesting varietals. Don’t miss out and catch the next one or just go in and have an exceptional dinner.”
“My husband and I took friends to the Sunday brunch Sept 8 to celebrate their 62nd anniversary. I had been there with my sisters about a month ago and was pleased with most everything. I made 10:00 reservations. We got there a little early so the waiter asked us to sit down and they’d be with us shortly. After about a 12 minute wait the same waiter came up to us and asked if we had been helped. I said yes we were waiting for you to seat us. He had forgotten us. We ordered coffee from a waitress. Twenty minutes later and no coffee we grabbed another waitress and asked her to get us coffee. Instead of being offered refills on coffee we had to ask for it. Needless to say we were very disappointed in the service. On the other hand the food was very good. Unfortunately good food alone does not make the best experience. Don’t know if we’ll be back. All but the service was great. 😓”
“Carlita’s offers a panoramic view of Eugene, with outdoor rooftop tables best suited for the summer of course. The interior is beautiful, and they have a lounge area with comfortable couches great for a relaxing evening. The bar is also spacious and comfortable! The tacos are not just simple street tacos, but diverse and delicious. The salmon tacos and chicken mole are killer. The ceviches are also wonderful! I’ve always received excellent service from Greg. He’s personable and efficient at making cocktails while also serving. Check it out! It’s worth a visit to the 7th floor of the Gordon Hotel!”
“We’ve visited several times and are wine club members. Our group of four received a tour from Matt Dammer, assistant wine maker, who was extremely knowledgeable and welcoming. After the tour, we sat on the patio for a wine flight tasting and enjoyed a bottle of wine with their cheese and charcuterie board. Michael and Rob were both helpful servers.”
“Love E. 19th! I've been a regular since they opened in 1989. Great location, great happy hour every day of the week! & great service! Patio is lovely too with lots of flowers & art.”
“Came here after having a horrible experience at Starlight, bartender (Tyler) was amazing! Very kind and had a great attitude. Drinks were AMAZING, my boyfriend and I had the ‘makeout ninja’. Definitely recommend this bar, especially if it’s not too busy🙏🏼”
“Great service, our server was Reign, service was prompt and regularly check on us to be sure everything was great. Good job, Reign. We'll come back next time we are in Oregon.”
“Best place ever and Francis is amazing as a bartender. However I do feel they as a company need to limit who comes in at the bar cus some people come in here just to make noise and cause issues. I understand being inclusive but some people fake it for attention and clout. Everyone knows it but does nothing about it. Also how the hell has it been ok to allow it for people not to tip their bartenders that is so wrong in so many ways.”
“I'm really not sure why this place had a somewhat low rating because the food was really tasty & it was a really nice, relaxing atmosphere. I was here for over 3 hours and all the wait staff were super nice and accommodating so I would highly recommend this place!”

“I have never eaten here before until just yesterday. It smelled amazing just stepping out into the parking lot, and even more so upon walking in. The guys behind the counter were friendly. I got the shrimp salad. Was delicious. I got a lime Jarritos. I do not recommend as it is tremendously sweet beyond normal soda. The environment looked clean and inviting. The ingredients were fresh & appetizing. They have a good customer service. If you want fresh Mexican food- this is your place.”

“Visited here for the first time today and want to say thank you to the owners who provided excellent, clean, healthy and delicious organic vegan food with great attention to detail and commitment to vegan principles. Bravo, and all good wishes for your future success.”
“Meltdown consistently delivers outstanding food and service. The variety of grilled cheese sandwiches is excellent, and the turkey grilled cheese with added avocado is especially impressive—rich, well-balanced, and perfectly prepared. The fries are always solid, and I have never had a botched order. Reliable quality every visit. A+.”
“I love this eatery. It reminds me of places you can find when traveling the globe off the beaten path. These folks make great food and are a friendly family. I lived in Mexico for 2 years and this is Authentic to the core. Tired of the Taco Times, Burrito Boys, and Tacovore's plastic caste replica of Mexican dining? You should eat here. I would eat 3 meals a day here every day for the rest of my life if I could.”

“this place has gone downhill ever since the pandemic. came here on my birthday for their bread pudding only to be told "we don't have it today". oh, how perfect that I wait all month to come here on my birthday, and when I do, they don't have the items they advertise on their website. but hey, I only have one birthday in the whole calendar year, and never get to treat myself, no big deal. next time I'll just go to dairy Queen or something. or maybe they should change it to "weekly specials" since their monthly specials are t available all month”
“Curbside is perfect for me. I loooove not having to get out of my car. I’m almost always very happy with my cookies. I love novelty so Crumbl usually brings me some joy. If you leave notes in the app when ordering they’ll add stickers and bows to make your cute box look special and fun!”
“Oh my goodness the pizza was amazing! We are from the east coast and have never had a pizza that was so delicious. We had the Track and Field Combo and it did not disappoint. Loaded with meat and big slices of vegetables. Just the right amount of sauce and the crust was cooked perfectly. Highly recommend.”
“This is my new favorite restaurant! I have a dairy allergy and almost cried when I realized that I could actually order biscuits and gravy, french toast, and even nachos off of their regular menu. If you have a special dietary need, tell them and the staff is so understanding. They have amazing vegan pastries. The vegan chocolate croissants are to die for! I live two hours away, but will return to Eugene again and again to try everything on their menu.”
“This place was delicious. I got the BBQ chicken because I can't eat beef anymore so honestly its hard for me to enjoy BBQ. But this BBQ chicken was done right, it was juicy and flavorful. I tried all the sauces and liked them all equally. The hush puppies were great with the sauce they come with. My favorite and must have was the corn bread. At first observation I thought the corn bread was going to be dry because the outside was harder than I thought it should be but as soon as I cut into, it was spongy and soft . The apple butter that it comes with was 🔥.”
“Hands down the best I have had since I was a young. Delis just don't make them like they use to. Scribles breaks the mold. They have a fantastic selection. Great staff, relaxed atmosphere. bring you appetite. It's an adventure working my way through the menu. 5 star over the top...”

“We went in and had the lentil bowl, tofu salad, burger, and wedges for about $20. This is definitely a hidden gem for locals looking to have a tasty vegan meal made with simple ingredients at an affordable price. The tofu was deliciously fried and the cashew cheese was so tasty (in its own league). This is a great place to grab a quick healthy meal, that still feels like you are eating at home.”
“Went for my first time kinda close to closing today, and the person working was still sooo helpful and nice. There were people on both sides and she was the only one working, and still kind and efficient. Everything tasted awesome as well I got a latte and a few bakery items :) will be back!!”
“Kingdom Koffee is a great local coffee shop in Eugene! The mocha was excellent, rich and smooth with just the right amount of sweetness. The atmosphere is warm, comfortable, and inviting, and the service was friendly and welcoming. Definitely a great Eugene coffee shop for a quality mocha, coffee, or espresso drink.”
“Holy crap! I have eyeballed this place forever, I LOVE Indian food. Let me tell you… just do it! It smells incredible when you walk in. Family crew, kind and friendly. And now. The food. We went fairly basic as we have never been and can I say I’ll be back to try everything. So flavorful, yes. Come and enjoy.”
“Finally made it in after hearing great things and Melissa did not disappoint. Wife got the burger which was thick, juicy, and delicious. I got the breakfast burrito, topped with some spicy mozz. Def recommend if you like ab extra level of spice. Of course, can’t go wrong with cajun tots on the side.
Come check it out and support a West Eugene gem.”
“EAT HERE! Just had dinner here with my husband. He thinks this is the best Chinese cuisine around. The good was delicious and the price for is fair. Uncle Sun made our food. He was so friendly and positive. If we lived closer we would eat here more. Wish I had taken some photos.”
“I decided to check out the tiger mama on willamette on a whim, and found it to be a wonderful experience. The shop is clean and warm and the cashier gave some great recommendations! I ended up getting the kimbap which I think is the best in Eugene! Please check this place out!!”

“This place is amazing. The food was absolutely delicious. The service was top notch, even during the busy dinner period. I love all the art and things around the restaurant. The giant doll from Squid Game that moves and plays sounds was a great touch. Highly highly recommend this place!
Ive been back 6 times in the last 3 weeks and everything here is AMAZING! Alex and David are fantastic. Always so friendly, outgoing, and personable. This place is truly a hidden gem”
