Cornucopia is a staple here in the Eugene/Springfield. With three locations there a plenty of places to find a table. They provide a wide selection of options although I will say there is some but not a lot for the gluten-free crowd. I went today and tried their newest addition to the menu with the salmon salad. It was good. They've even introduced a new dressing to the menu with the salad. Do I think the dressing is worth the extra $.75 -no. But that's me. Pros $5 kids menu all day Best burger in town-I'll fight someone over that. Great house pours. Each and every time. Cons Price. I'm not sure how a bowl of tomato soup is over $10. A more ingredient heavy soup -sure. But tomato ? That was the consensus it our group about the reasons why we don't keep coming back. With that said-Cornucopia hits- usually when someone else is footing the bill but still......

This was a fun spot for dinner that one of the locals recommended. It's a bit of a dive, but the food, service and atmosphere were all top notch.

Stumbled upon this place on a day trip to Eugene. Very eclectic feeling when we walked in. Tons of character. Our server was very layered back and friendly and treated us like we were old friends. He gave us some hints on menu suggestions. We settled on a pair of side salads and a split grown up grilled cheese. For a Saturday afternoon snack. This was the perfect choice. The sandwich was simple but flavorful and the side salads were bigger than we expected. Flavor was wonderful. Altogether we got out of there for $30 which is a great value in these times. Highly recommend and hope to be back soon.

This location feels so private & fun! We came back for a birthday date night for my husband. I got the Philly cheesesteak and it was so good and huge! We got cocktails, beer, and cheese curds (you can't come here and not get them!) we love our meals here. We love coming here for a nice date night. Our waitress was so nice and she noticed it was my husbands birthday and we got a slice of cake to take home for him. Nothing better than feeling special and acknowledged on your birthday. I know it made him feel good. Thank you for doing that for your customers. Sometimes it's the small things. Anyways we love coming here. Everything is yummy & we will be back again.

Friendly and attentive service. Not a fast food place, more leisurely pace than average. Go there with your out of town guests when you want to chat for a while. I go to the one on 17th but they have more than one location. It has a nice courtyard in back. On the side there is also a big picnic table. Haven't eaten inside...it's kind of dark in there. For burgers you can get a 1/4 lb or a 1/2 lb. Which is a lot of meat! Pretty extensive menu. Wish they had more gluten-free things.

I got delivery, so I can't speak to the location. Sometimes i get so hungry, I can't pick a place. This was one of those days. I was in desperate need of meat protein, having not had much of it that day. What clinched it was the One Pound French Dip. I also got the Bavarian pretzel. Since it's a Bavarian pretzel, it's a little firmer than the soft pretzels you may be used to. It was still soft, though, and not dried out. The accompanying mustard with hickory bacon cheese sauce made it even better. That's a good dipping sauce for a lot of other things, too. But oh the French Dip sandwich. . .basically everything I wanted it to be, and not just because I was so hungry. Soft bread and delicious juicy roasted beef. It was good with or without the au jus. I ate half and some of the fries, and polished the rest off the next morning. Great sustenance as I was traveling back to Portland that day. My only regret was not ordering from here earlier, because I would have ordered that sandwich again.

This particular location is a renovated house converted to an interesting eatery packed with an eclectic assortment of knick knacks and decor. The atmosphere is very intriguing and promotes a wandering around just to see the various art, photos, hangings and signs. Let's not forget the colander lamp shades! The service is very friendly and accommodating, the restaurant itself is somewhat close but comforting. The menu was a bit of a surprise with the pricing, a bit high, but the food is good and portions are decent. We started with an onion rings appetizer that was very hot and crispy. The rings were thick and came with a dipping sauce, there are several to choose from. I almost went for the Philly, but then I saw the Mighty Quinn's Crispy Chicken sandwich. There are many unique and interesting names for their sandwiches and plates, I had to try the crispy chicken. It came on a Kaiser bun with some bacon, tomato, lettuce and mayo. There was also some pepper jack cheese that gave it a little spicy kick. The chicken was delicious in that it was moist, the batter was very crispy and not oily and the tender as a whole was quite large. I had to check as I thought there might have been two, but it was just one nice large tender. I opted for the battered fries over the cajun fries or tater tots. The battered fries are the way to go. The crunch is amazing, the flavor and thickness of the batter lends itself to a wide variety of sauces besides ketchup. Even though the menu comes with a mild sticker shock, the pleasant surroundings and nice neighborhood, good hot food, pleasant staff and interesting decor all makes for a good social lunch that is well worth it.
