Move to Eugene a short time ago and I've been craving a Monte Cristo sandwich for months maybe years. I came across brailles and happened to be in the area of the day I went and was pleasantly surprised. I got the Monte Cristo and fries, which were absolutely great and surely relieved my craving. I'll definitely be going back for some breakfast because I saw a couple plates there and they were looked awesome. thank you! read more

After hearing high praise for Brail's and that it's an institution in Eugene, I was stoked to try it out! Though, maybe it was an off day, I didn't really see the hype. I'll admit, the staff are fairly friendly, and the community vibes are totally here. The food just didn't really do much for me. The coffee was incredibly bitter. No amount of creamer was saving it for me, and I'm typically not too picky about my diner coffee. I got the Brail's Omelette and it was absolutely stuffed with toppings. I thought this was pretty good. The contrast of the bacon and ham with the fresh veggies was great. Salty and meaty but also fresh! That said, the home fries were below average for me. The potatoes were cut incredibly thick, near raw on the inside, with no crisp. Even the smaller pieces didn't have a crispy outside. My wife got a pancake, hashbrowns, and sausage links. Her pancake was gooey in the center. It wasn't raw exactly, but the center was noticeably undercooked. The sausage links were good, and the hashbrown was just fine--pretty standard for diner hashbrowns. I hope to come back and be proven wrong about this place. But upon my first visit, there are other breakfast spots in the area I'd choose to go to. read more

Brail's Restaurant - Big and greedy plate - American Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

Unapologetic old school diner food at its best. If you ever have the chance to spend a morning in Eugene, you must, must, must come and have a great breakfast at Brazil's. The entire staff no matter the day is always helpful and quick but not overly hawking over you either. The eclectic interior and not adds to the mystique of this place. You can either sit table side or you can pony right up the bar if you're on your own and have a meal reminiscent of your 50's diner. read more

Wow! What happened to our beloved restaurant? It seems they are more interested in their "take-out" folks than those who actually come in to the restaurant. After bragging to our friend that the food is great and you get it fast.....we sat for over 30 minutes, watching take-out orders go out the door. When we finally got our food, it looked terrible. The omelets were paper thin eggs rolled around some cold ingredients. The hash browns, (usually our favorites) were overcooked and tasteless. Our guest had hash browns that were barely cooked. Since there weren't many people in the restaurant when we arrived, we were super disappointed with our experience. I won't mention the prices. (okay......$15.00 for omelet??) Sorry to say, our days of visiting Brail's have come to an end. read more

Day after duck game, taking the sophomore out to breakfast, this place does not disappoint! Friendly service, sat immediately and delicious coffee served. Cute and clean, highly recommend the meat burrito, eggs, Benedict, and of course the French toast. Kiddo took a veggie sandwich to go. read more

My partner and I went here for breakfast this morning. It had been on my list to try for a while so we finally stopped in. We arrived around 10am and were seated immediately. The place is much bigger than it looks from the outside! It wasn't too busy, only one other group was in our dining room when we arrived and it filled up shortly after. The server came to us pretty quickly and took our drink orders. We both got a hot chocolate, which arrived within minutes. It was clearly Swiss Miss but the whipped cream was really good. Our food came about 10 minutes later. I got the big breakfast with scrambled eggs, hash browns, sausage links, and white toast. My partner got the French toast sampler with bacon and fruit. Everything was pretty good! The hash browns were perfectly crispy and the eggs were cooked perfectly. My dish was the perfect size for how hungry I was. My partner's French toast was also really good. Our server was very nice and attentive. He was checking on us and his other tables frequently and was not pushy at all when he dropped the bill. Overall this is a great diner and I'm glad we stopped in. We will definitely be back! read more

This place is a classic brunch spot in Eugene. The portions are ginormous, menu is huge, and the service is quick. I got a Monte Cristo with onion rings, and everything came out fresh. The sandwich was yummy and came with lots of meat. The side portion of onion rings were very generous. This place is great for groups of friends, family, etc. Other people in my group got a burger, omelette, sandwiches, eggs Benedict, and everyone was happy with their food. Easy parking! read more

Great little brunch spot. We were greeted by friendly staff and seated almost immediately despite the busy hour. They have two sizes of mimosas here, one called the man-mosa, which is in a 16 ounce glass. I chose the smaller normal size mimosa. Delicious! We split a huge cinnamon roll, gooey with the yummy icing, served piping hot. My son ordered a breakfast burrito, it was delicious. I tasted some of his hashbrowns and they were crispy and perfect. I ordered a pancake with a couple eggs and the pancake and eggs were wonderful. They did not mind that we brought our own latte and mocha in with us. Very chill and friendly atmosphere. read more

Walking in to Brails at 9am on a Wednesday we were promptly sat and provided beverages. Our food order took a bit but we didn't mind waiting. Everything was delicious and as ordered. read more

A good old country breakfast! We are in town for the Oregon relays and had coffee at Dutchbros and the barista recommended this spot. We love recommendations from locals and he chose great coffees for me so why not. He didn't steer us wrong. This really unassuming spot had the best, filling breakfast. Angie, our server, could not have been more kind or attentive. She was nice enough to move us to a larger table because we convinced some other track parents to join us. I started with the Cranberry mimosa and it was served in the cutest glass, like something my grandmother probably had. I chose to Build my own omelette with cheddar, sausage and spinach. I was shocked that a side choice was biscuits and gravy. Everything arrived quickly and was seasoned well. Definitely try this spot out and ask for Angie. read more

Visited Brails the morning after a game and the wait was pretty quick! We were able to get warm coffee and tea while we waited which was quite the bonus because it was chilly outside. The food is absolutely amazing- the breakfast sandwich, veggie burrito, chocolate chip pancakes and biscuits and gravy were all hot, appropriate portions and delicious. read more

We came here for breakfast on a Thursday or Friday morning. Mine and my husband's eggs were cold as was the hot water for my tea. My son said his omelette was good. The three star is because our server was very friendly and attentive. The food is mediocre. read more

Consistent white flour breakfast. Nothing wrong with it just not my thing, like a slightly upscale local Denny's. The staff has always been consistent and friendly. I miss Joy being around. read more

There's a reason why there's a usual wait to get seated. The food is excellent. Staff is always friendly. The prices are better than reasonable. read more

Definitely recommend the Corned beef hash!! You can tell it's freshly made and they use seasoning and spices i've never had before in hash, and it was delicious. Extremely fast and super friendly staff. Open daily 8am-2pm and have many choices to choose from with breakfast and lunch served "all day". 10/10 for me read more

Flew in hungry from So Calif to visit my son and he suggested Brail's. Excellent choice. We ate here once before and it was as just as I remembered. I went for the " Big Breakfast" w/ sausage patty, home fries and side of biscuit and gravy! The patty was huge. My family had the spinach omelet, and eggs poached perfectly w/ crispy hash browns . Service was really good and the staff were friendly. Highly recommend. read more

Maybe the best place in Eugene for breakfast. Very friendly snd helpful staff, and the place is oddly bigger on the inside. Like a Tardis. Food was great snd hot. read more

Service was slow. Person at counter was on break so I sat for a while with no service. Finally was able to order. Had hangover special. Hash browns were under cooked. Biscuits and gravy, the biscuits were dried out and tough and chewy leather like texture. With nowhere near enough gravy even if they had been fresh. Not nearly as good as other visits. read more

I'm sorry Brail's. I'm aware you're a Eugene establishment and you get tons of food for the price you pay, but the food quality is so cheap and greasy that it gave me an insane stomach ache for the rest of the day. The grits tasted like tap water. Not my kind of restaurant. read more

The food and coffee is very good. Was seated immediately and the food showed up quickly. Service was great!

Not the same without Joy unfortunately. Servers talking with friends or each other for long periods of time. Food getting cold - sitting for 10 minutes ready to serve - but staff too busy to notice. Cold coffee, no silverware without asking. Joy would never have let that happen. Food is still good if it's not cold. read more

You are probably trying to decide on a place for breakfast, so here's what you need to know. Brail's is simple, relaxed, home style dining. We had omelettes, pancakes and coffee, and everything was delicious, fresh and hot. The service was great and the bill for our meals was surprisingly reasonable. Probably the best prices that we've seen for large omelette platters. Everything was just right. Oh, icing on the cake was the coffee. Hot, fresh, and decidedly strong for a restaurant. Coffee beans are expensive, so we find that most places really water it down. We were impressed. We will definitely be back with family and friends. Two thumbs up and five stars all the way. read more

I got the small breakfast with gluten free toast, gravy on the side, and sausage links. I really enjoyed the meal overall. GREAT gluten free toast with butter - much better than most grocery store brands. Eggs were perfectly cooked. The home fries needed more seasoning and were slightly underdone but nothing a lil pepper and salt can't fix. Sausage was great. Gravy was also under seasoned but I added pepper and it was good. The portion was pretty good for a $12ish plate of brunch. I asked for a side of fruit but they didn't have it. If you want fruit come earlier because we came on a Sunday around 11 and they were out. But overall solid place, especially for dietary restrictions. Fruit would really good to cute a hangover though. read more

Exactly how I remembered this place from years ago when I went in college for brunch. Yes, you have to be patient because there's never not a wait. Crispy hash browns and the burrito hit the spot. read more

This is by far one of my most recommended restaurants in Eugene. I've been here a few times and have always loved my orders. A few standouts have been their bacon waffle (don't knock it till you try it) and their French dip sandwich on their lunch menu. Good prices, good service, and great ambiance! read more

Food was just disgusting here. I actually could not believe how badly it tasted. I would never recommend this place. Service was good, ambiance was fun (nostalgic dinner aesthetic) but I doubt I will ever be returning. Out of the food we got the chicken skillet was actually inedible, do NOT recommend. My boyfriend will literally eat anything and he couldn't get it down lol. Also the worst coffee i've drank in my entire life it was hilarious. This is food they should pay YOU to eat... read more

This place was right around the corner from my hotel while we were here for a track meet. So I came three times and had three different items. They were all delicious. The first day I had the spinach omelette, the second day I had the veggie eggs Benedict, and the third day I just had breakfast sandwich to go. Everyone was always super friendly (5 star) and helpful and the food was classic breakfast cuisine and lots of great options. If I had one minor critique, it would be that the spinach omelette was a bit light on spinach... so you like spinach in your omelette maybe ask for spinach! But still very good. read more

Made a vegetarian version of the skillet and I'll say I'm pretty impressed. Service has been fantastic -- THANK YOU MARIA!! Great for a breakfast spot for sure and I'm glad we came early and beat the rush. read more

An institution in Eugene. I remember about once a month we would go to Brails after church circa 1960s. Excellent food and service.

We breakfasted at Brails yesterday. The food did not disappoint. The servings were massive and tasty. What is unique is that Brails serves bulgolgi for breakfast which my son and daughter both enjoyed. The coffee was good and hot. The service was exceptional. read more

Got an egg burrito with home fries to take out. Very good. Large portion. I would go back when back in Eugene.

This is our go to when I'm craving breakfast. I always get the Spinach Omelette with a side of hash browns and maybe some pancakes/French toast on the side if I'm feeling something sweet. My husband tends to try more things and he's enjoyed it all (chicken & waffles, country fried steak, the skillets, regular breakfast plates, etc). You definitely get bang for your buck here because portion sizes are huge. There is usually a wait, but that's typical of breakfast places I feel like. Parking is easy--they have both street & a parking lot and service has always been good! read more
