Addi's Diner! How I love thee! Y'all. This place is A.Maz.Ing. Seriously. When you pull up and see a line outside, you know it's going to be good. Part of that is due to the fact that there are about 12 tables inside, so they can only seat a small amount of people at a time. The rest of it is due to the fact that their food is amazing. I ordered the scramble with bacon. The bacon was good and crispy! The hasbrowns were really good. We saw the table next to use got a huge pancake, and when they say huge, they mean it! What really made Addi's Diner enjoyable for me was the wait staff. Since they were so busy all morning long, it would've been really easy for the service to have been lacking. However, everyone was super nice and attentive. They took the time to talk to each table, especially the kids in the restaurant. Our waters were always filled. If you want an amazing breakfast, go to Addi's Diner! :) read more

I'm giving this 2 stars because I have NEVER been able to go. And I've lived near it for 17 years. After they bought rose's diner and changed it into "addi's" the hours have been even more sparse. It's literally open from like 6am to maybe 11am. Maybe 3 days a week. Ridiculous hours. read more

The food was good and all the workers are nice, looks like they work really hard; however, the owner is a toxic, horrible meanie who shouldn't ever be allowed to talk to people. My friend's food had a hair on top of it and when she told the owner, the owner scowled at her, asking if she wasn't sure if it was her own (it was black hair like the owner's and my friend is blond)! Later, she came by with the coffee pot and asked if I wanted more but walked away before I could answer. I feel sorry for the nice people that work there because if she was that horrible and rude to us in the few moments we dealt with her I can't image how she is to them. read more

The nicest funniest owner ever.In credible breakfasts..Giant pancakes.Great little funky place.

This place is great. I've been there a handful of times and it is always really good. They have a reallllly good churro waffle and chicken fried steak. The food is under salted but that allows you to add salt as needed and that does not mean the food is not good read more

Addi's is a basic all-American breakfast diner. Prices are low. So is the food quality, but certainly no worse than one would expect going into a breakfast diner. Most anyone who wants to eat at a good ole' average diner will like Addi's. Also a BIG plus: they open at 4am! The only place (besides 7-11) where I can get a cup of coffee before 6. They also display a lot of old signs and 50's-60's nostalgia and what-not -- which is fun! In short, I would give Addi's a solid 3-Stars, with room for the personality of the servers to swing it up or down a notch. Unfortunately the server seems always in a bad mood and gives un-friendly responses suggesting my question was stupid or that giving a nice compliment about the restaurant was uncalled for, or it's already been said before... I leave feeling somewhat sorry I came in. Maybe she could let someone else greet the customers and focus more on cooking? Or just cheer up, I don't know. Greeting customers with a pleasant demeanor -- that is such a big part of the whole restaurant experience. It's the kind of thing that can make the difference between feeling like you wish you'd gone to 7-11. read more

One fluffy hotcake, golden and crisp at the edges, arrives at your table, veritably the size of your entire upper body. For $3.25, you receive this, plus an extra (large) pat of butter alongside a Snapple bottle filled with warm maple syrup. Shell out an extra 75 cents, and the motherly hostess will ply you with bottomless rounds of fresh, hot coffee & little plastic creamer cups. Siggggh. =) read more

Interior is a retro-1950s diner feel. Oh, and there's a giant spatula over one of the signs. Basically, I came here for their massive pancake, simply named "The Hotcake." Trust me when I say this is the largest pancake I've seen to date. It has to be at least 16 inches in diameter. For being a steroidal pancake that got hit by gamma rays, it was also quite good. Not extremely rubbery and not too dry. Goes well with a bowl of syrup. This pancake is only $4.25. So what does the spicy panda do in this situation? Sprinkle ghost pepper powder on the massive pancake and in the maple syrup. Spicy-sweet combo win! (And here's the video of my huge spicy pancake adventure! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jcnm69KxYnQ) This place has huge portions overall. There are some other great items on the menu, like the Cinnamon Roll French Toast and Steak & Eggs. Heck, I also saw Spam & Eggs on the menu. The panda approves. Addi's is open Wednesday through Sunday, from 4 a.m. to 2 p.m. read more

Addi's, I kind of love you! Yes, I consume a ton of greasy calories and yes, I smell like a greasy spoon the rest of the day, but that's okay! We can be friends every weekend. Rather than restate what the previous reviews mention - the biggest pancake in the world, or at least in Oregon, the cheap (but not my fave coffee), the lovely ambiance and the friendly tat'd server and sweet Addi herself, I'll focus on a few other important things. Like the friend potato skins. Get them either as a side or as part of your breakfast, but these homefry castoffs are the bomb. The cinnamon roll French toast, all eggy and cinnamony and made from house made giant cinnamon rolls - also the bomb. Addi uses localish meats from Childers and lots of love. I can't believe I wrote that. But that's what happens when you have a crush. read more

Stopped in while driving through on a road trip! Addi's did not disappoint. Had the veggie omelet as a scramble and the cinnamon roll French toast. Very friendly service and a fun atmosphere! read more

Addi's diner is one of my favorite places for brunch. I've been there multiple times, and every time with a different group of friends. Fortunately, all of my friends loved it so far. The food is awesome, portions are pretty big and delicious. Good food with very good price, a high pound per dollar :) Addy herself is really friendly and I believe she's a genius:) since she knows me and my friends by our names and never forgets them! After all, good people, good service and great food! Just give it a try once and you'll come back for sure. read more

Addi's Diner - Two plus! - American Near Me - Springfield, Oregon

10/10 WOULD RECOMMEND! Get the pancake, before you can even think otherwise, get the $3.75 pancake! It was bigger than my body! It will literally take 3-4 people to clean off this pancake, which makes it REALLY worth it. They also had refillable strawberry lemonade which was surprisingly tasty. The ambiance is that of an old 50s diner of yesteryear! There are old parking meters on the tables and vintage license plates from all 50 states decorating the walls along with nostalgic memorabilia. The service is very friendly and attentive. You can tell that the people here are regulars! read more

This is the special type of place you almost don't want to review because then it will become too crowded, but it is too great to leave unsaid! Creative twists on old fashioned breakfast favorites. Cutest spot on the road from Portland to NorCal. Friendliest staff anywhere! I loved the cinnamon roll French Toast. #DDD read more

If you want a breakfast diner that is cheap, tasty, and gives huge portions, this place is for you. If you're looking for something more up-scale with higher-quality, organic, gluten-free, fair trade, hipster-buzzword-of-the-week then give this place a pass. I judge a diner breakfast by their biscuit. Most of the biscuits people have recommended in Eugene have fallen far short of the mark. They either don't have much rise, don't have much flavor, have a bready consistency, etc. My reasoning is that if a restaurant takes an extremely simple recipe and does it well, that they likely put that same care into cooking the rest of their food as well. I arrived hungry at 10:30 for a mid-bike-ride refuel, and had a bit of a wait because it was packed. After being seated, I was promptly offered coffee and my order was taken. I ordered a chicken fried steak with eggs over medium, a pancake in place of potatoes, and a biscuit. The food took a bit longer than I would have liked, even accounting for the crowd, but that could have been my hunger making me impatient. The biscuit arrived first, and as I mentioned earlier, I was judging Addi's by this moment. It was do or die time. Fortunately, the biscuits are excellent. They're a baking powder biscuit that they make fresh every morning. It had a great rise, was perfectly golden brown on top, had a great baking powder tang, and was moist and fluffy. Hands-down the best biscuit I've had in Eugene. Of course Addi's isn't even in Eugene. The chicken fried steak was alright. It had a nice crisp batter, but there were some chewy bites. It wasn't quite as tender as I'd like, but it did taste good. The gravy was quite nice though, a nice sausage cream gravy with a firm, but not overpowering, rosemary flavor. The eggs were a nicely-done over medium, just right. When I order a side pancake, I usually expect something fairly small. This thing, however, was huge, overlapping the sides of the plate it was served on, which a huge glob of melting butter plopped right in the middle. I couldn't eat half of it, but it was quite good, with a mild vanilla flavor. The coffee was the big let-down of the meal. It was weak, although it didn't taste burned. Overall I find this to be one of the superior breakfasts of the Eugene area if you're looking for simple rather than adventurous. read more

Just attended again with a 1st tuner. She was craving another local diner, but I don't go there. Long story. Anyway, I'm like, yo, you have to see these pancakes. Then, we get there, she orders the cinnamon roll pancakes. Whatever boo, you be you. She loved it of course. But duhz, it's all good at Addi's. Worth the wait. The food is all good. The best time to go? Whenever you show up. I'm about it and I have been eating here since the late 80s when Gay owned it. Still great food and of course, delicious crispy potato skins. FTW they're so good- order honey mustard and dip. Oh baby. Too much good. I worked here while in middle school and high school summers. It was the best. I got so fat tho. Like, don't judge, but if I get depressed?! I head to Addis and eat anything that sounds good, and my stomach and tongue party so hard. It's the yummiest. read more

Food is really good portions are insane but the line is something else be prepared to wait a little while to get a seat

I definitely recommend a stop at Addi's! I came here once before, for lunch, and can't say I was very impressed with my meal. This trip however, for breakfast... WAY different story. I should note that while I do enjoy fresh/quality ingredients and/or clean establishments--those are rarely criteria that sway my vote on a grub spot. I'm a man that wants to eat big. I want my food to taste good, fill me up, and not bust my wallet. Addi's breakfast was top notch, in all the ways I'm critical on. The coffee was HOT and my cup never once was empty. The servers were completely slammed (because Addi's is tiny and popular), yet very friendly and attentive. I had the pancake that's as big as a manhole cover (it seriously is E-normous), an egg, bacon strips, biscuits and gravy, coffee, and a mug of milk. The syrup came to me hot and in a what looked like a snapple bottle. I loved it. By the time I'd eaten this mountain of food, my bill was still under $20 ...including tip. I really cannot wait to go back. There were several items on their bfast menu that require my attention. But once you commit to that freakish looking pancake, you're pretty well dividing to try it and only it--possibly for the rest of your day. Pros: -service -quantity -flavor -prices -overall value Cons: -limited seating -awesome food + cheap prices / tiny floorspace = a line at the door -off-site parking (due to that math equation above) -there's not a Eugene location -no hammock to lay in after you've nearly burst your duodenum -no hot tub ....okay. So clearly I was struggling to come up with cons. :) read more

In town for just a day and happen to come across Addis. Fantastic diner with an eclectic menu and really good food. My son and I loved the Whatta burger and we are from TX. Awesome atmosphere and the service was stellar. read more

Far cry from fancy, but if you want mass quantities of pretty good diner food, this is it. Small, good service and simple. Not for the healthy or demure. read more

This place is ok. The atmosphere is retro and the whole place has a great theme going for it. The staff is friendly and nice. It's usually packed, but cycles through patrons fairly quickly. The food is average. Yes they sell a massive pancake. That alone is not worth more than three stars. We've been here a few times because of all the high reviews, and also because there's some days when you just don't want to bother making your own breakfast. The food is not that great really. Also, the whole place needs a top to bottom cleaning. I don't want to stare out the window and see dust all over everything. I was there a few months ago and it was just dirty. With all the knick knacks and stuff everywhere I can understand that it doesn't get cleaned frequently, but too much dust and grime will make customers sick. And it's really gross to look at. That place needs a deep cleaning. read more

Great little place. Had to come check it out with all the great reviews calling to me! Great atmosphere, real dinner feel. The staff are super down to earth and friendly. Food was great, they have spam. What else can you ask for. Wait is that a trashcan lid or a pancake. The biggest pan cake west of the Mississippi. This is a great little addition to this part of town. Hopefully we will be in town again so that we can come back. read more

Wow- I am shocked no one has reviewed this place yet. Anyone driving into Springfield from Glenwood/Eugene invariably passes by the place just before they reach the Springfield bus station. Addi's Diner stands as a tiny white and red throwback to a Coca-cola era with tin signs and Elvis records plastered to the walls. Though everything on the tables and walls had to be decades old, the place was immaculately clean and the staff seemed very nice. Menu- really not many option. Classic combinations or mix and matches of eggs, bacon, sausage, steak, etc. I had read a blog prior to visiting that said that the hotcakes are the things to get. You can sub out your potatoes and toast that come with your meal for one if you'd prefer. Trust me, there is no way that the potatoes and toast could be half as filling as the singular hotcake (sold by itself for $3.25). I used to be a big guy with an exceptionally healthy appetite. If someone stuck a gun to my head, I could probably pound down 2 McD's value meals in a sitting... I got about 1/3rd of the way through the hotcake and hit "the wall." Aside from being giant, the hotcake is perfectly cooked- thick but not pasty or doughy, with nice crispy edges/crust that provides the perfect contrast to its delicately fluffy interior. The cake comes with a nice chunk of butter and half a Snapple bottle full (literally) of syrup. I ordered the eggs and diced bacon and then subbed out the rest of the meal for the hotcake. The eggs and bacon were fairly unremarkable - I am guessing the cook just fixed the bacon and eggs together and then chopped them up on the griddle. Eggs ended up really dry and the bacon pieces were cooked but not crispy. The hotcake, however, completely lived up to its expectations. I made the mistake of trying to spread the syrup and butter over the whole cake. Next time, I think it is just going to just eat a giant chunk out of the center and just make a well right in the middle of the plate for dipping each bite. The problem with spreading the syrup out initially is that it over-soaks into the cake and makes it mushy. By the time I threw in the towel, I made it about 1/2- 2/3rds of the way through one, but hard to tell since I had haphazardly eaten from the outer edge in. Whole bill came to $6.50. I think there is probably no better deal from Wednesday to Sundays (open at 7 am) for breakfast than a hotcake at Addi's Diner for $3.25. I don't think the small portion of eggs and bacon they bring out alongside the meal is worth the extra $3.25 for the breakfast plate itself, but the hotcake alone has to be one of the best deals (quality/value for price) in Springfield. read more

Small and cozy with tasty breakfast. A little farther from U of O but worth taking a little drive to Springfield. We had the two plus, cinnamon roll French toast and the pile up. Good size portions and the food came pretty fast. Lots of people waiting but worth it. read more

We have been ordering Addi's breakfast to go on the weekends for a long time. The eggs are large, and the home fries are to die for! The price is reasonable. The pancake is so large it has to be folded to fit into the carry out container! We like knowing we are supporting a locally owned business that works hard to fill up customers. We highly recommend ADDIS for the food and old time atmosphere! read more

Out of state guy here- looking for a solid man-sized breakfast with good coffee ! I ordered the Big Chicken Fried Steak combo. Awesome. Truly! Really hot- burnt my mouth. But that's on me eating like a Grizzly Bear. read more

We first judge a restaurant by the cars in the parking lot and when we pulled into the little parking lot we were lucky to find a spot open... walking into the little restaurant you're taken back by Marilyn Monroe and classic Soda pop type decor... the service was amazing for as busy as they were... and the food... let me tell you was delicious!! We had French toast and chicken fried steak and it was by far some homemade goodness. We live an hour away but will definitely make the drive and come back for breakfast another day. read more

Large portions, fast and yummy! Got lucky and stopped in when I was in town for work. Highly recommend! read more

Beamer pancakes ever and the staff were so nice and helpful I will definitely recommend again

Food is average here. Yes, the giant pancake is a novelty, but other than the size it was nothing special. Waitstaff worked hard and were slammed the whole time, so props to them for busting their asses. The burger and fries I ordered were also meh. Fries came unseasoned and very greasy. It may have been that I ordered lunch instead of breakfast, but I would give this place one more shot at redemption in terms of food. TL;DR above average service, just average food read more

Great food and great atmosphere with great people! Always love going to Addis for breakfast with friends and family! 5 stars!!

The staff here truly go above and beyond. I relied heavily on their skins and ranch throughout my pregnancy with my son, going sometimes 2-3 times a week and they are reasonably priced, friendly and truly care about their customers and customer experience. I went here when I was a kid and it was known as roses before addi took over and it's an all around wonderful place. read more

If you want a classic diner breakfast or a unique fun breakfast experience you have to go here! Addi's Diner is in our families top 3 for breakfast go to's and is a staple in our "places to take folks that are visiting" list. read more

This is an awesome little dinner. We where looking for a place to eat the next morning after The Civil War Game. Super glad we found this place on Yelp. We had excellent service! The Waiters and Waitresses where very friendly and made you feel at home. Cozy and fun place! The prices where very reasonable! Super shocked. And the food was outstanding! Coffee was smooth and not acidic. It was like having a home cooked meal! Wasn't sodium filled like a lot of places are. Very good flavor and HOT off the grill. More then enough food! Simple menu and they allow you to modify it. Not a problem. We will be back! Thanks Again! read more

Best breakfast.. pancakes big enough for two!! Very friendly.. loved the decor.. Needs a lil more parking.. read more

Best place we've been to for breakfast! We had 9 people in our group for my sisters bday and we got in and out fairly fast. The restaurant has a very homey feel to it. I was impressed with the service as well. They work as a team making sure coffees and drinks are always full. You don't see that too often. These guys are hard workers and care and it really shows! Will be returning no doubt about it! Thank you for such a great experience! :) read more

Addi's Diner - Train Wreck, half already eaten. Big portions! - American Near Me - Springfield, Oregon

See all

In a town that has great breakfast options, Addi's is my family's consistent fave. We love Addi herself, who serves every single day they're open and has only taken one vacation since her "outlaws" bought the place. Addi is sweet as pie, and so are the outlaws. They make a mean cuppa joe, and the pancakes are fluffy and perfectly cooked. All the breakfast diner basics are on offer. Highly recommend the "pitiful lookin' biscuits and gravy." One friend digs into the Train Wreck every visit. Bacon is perfectly crisp and tasty. My only steer-clear recommendation is the cinnamon roll french toast, not because it isn't delicious...it IS! It's just so rich, everyone I've ever seen try it was sorry later. The kicker for the Addi's breakfast recommendation...where else in town can you get a fresh-cooked real meal with coffee for under $5? The prices are great! Also, our little guy who's three loves Addi's. They have a big bin of toys, musical instruments hanging from the ceiling, 50s diner stuff everywhere. Lots to look at and free newspaper funnies to enjoy. The park across the street offers perfect post-breakfast playtime options. read more

Ok, I've been converted. I still stand by my first review (the breakfast burrito was mediocre) but since then I've tried a variety of items from the menu and they were all wonderful. The atmosphere is classic, adorable greasy diner. The prices are CHEAP. And Addi serves you personally. Even on the weekends when the place is packed there is a good turnover and the staff gets you in quickly. It has now become a family favorite. I'd recommend the basics (pancakes, biscuits and gravy, bacon) over the fancier omelets and scrambles. They are just better! read more

This was our first visit here, and we were greeted by an awkward man who muttered so quietly that we had to ask him 3x to repeat himself and still had no idea what he said. Our waitress came over and quickly got out order in. We ordered the large pancake with eggs and bacon, cinnamon roll French toast and a half order of biscuits and gravy. The pancake was definitely huge and the large pat of butter was in abundance. Strawberry jelly in a squeeze container was already at the table. The pancake tasted like most pancakes. The cinnamon roll French toast was a little weird... I prefer Shari's cinnamon roll french toast. The biscuits and gravy was 2 halves of one biscuit and was covered in a gravy that was more peppery then sausage like. I had only chunk of sausage on the whole plate. I love pepper, so the pepper flavor was delicious. The gravy basically tastes like a watered down dry mix you add water too. Overall the prices were cheap and I would come back again if I'm looking to only eat some pancakes. read more
