Mimosa!
Jus E.

We arrived here at 1:20pm and they were closing at 2pm! I am so glad that they still took us in and gave us time to order and settle! The service was great! Our waiter was very friendly and attentive! The ambiance was nice it really felt like a diner! The food was Delicious! Everything we have ordered were amazing!!! I recommend this restaurant to people who will pass by Eugene as this has been open since 1948!!!

Breakfast menu

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!

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!

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.

Side of biscuits and gravy

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.

Breakfast sandwich
Kate J.

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.

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.

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.

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

This was a nice find, we were looking for a local breakfast spot in Eugene. Right off of the…read moreBeltline on Coburg road, you will find Buddy's Diner. Its a classic diner with bar top seating, many booths and open tables within a very small space. Don't be scared away from the waitlist or large families waiting outside the door, they seem to turn tables very quickly so plan for a little bit of a wait, but its worth it. We got lucky and two bar top seats opened up, we waited about 10 min. We were greeted by a very friendly waitress who quickly offered us menus and filled our drink order. The menu is quite ample, lots of breakfast options, from scrambles and omelets to many shakes and desserts, if you are looking for lunch they have burgers, sandwiches and wraps. We ordered breakfast, I had the custom option, two eggs, bacon, sausage and added a side english muffin. The food was well cooked, good portion and great tasting. My son ordered a custom, 2 biscuits and gravy with an egg and hash brown, he loved his meal. The pricing was fair. We did not have much of a wait time from the time we ordered to getting our meals. Even though it was busy they did a great job making sure we were taken care of.

I came here wondering why a burger place would close by 2 PM because I just had the thought that…read morethat's what this was. However, besides burgers, they also serve a number of breakfast items like pancakes and eggs and so forth. So I decided to go with the breakfast menu and ordered half order of biscuits and gravy and eggs Benedict. I must say both were extremely good and just the food alone I will come back. But the service is very good and attentive and the ambiance has that old time diner feel to it that you don't see too often anymore. Definitely would come back.

I went here for breakfast with a friend yesterday and it was fantastic! We sat down immediately and…read moreour waitress came over a minute later. She brought us the menus and some water. We took our time with the menu as there were so many delicious-looking options. We ended up splitting two dishes so we could both have some variety. We did the French toast with a berry compote and ricotta topping and the veggie omelette with hash browns and toast. Every single thing was so good! The eggs were cooked well, the hash browns were crispy, and the French toast was perfectly made. The ricotta and berry compote was also fantastic. We were absolutely stuffed and could not be happier. The bill was also much lower than we expected, so the food is pretty affordable compared to other diners in town. I think they moved into this space recently as I remember another restaurant being here before. That restaurant was much more territorial with their parking spots and had signs everywhere telling people not to park there if they weren't customers, but those signs are gone now which is nice. Everyone here was super friendly and lovely. I love the mission of this restaurant and will definitely be back to continue supporting them in the future!

Absolutely love this place for so many reasons!! I am from California and you can rarely find a gem…read morelike this... My family and I were visiting my son whom lives in Eugene. We decided to try Abilities for breakfast...the homemade cinnamon rolls caught my eye...unfortunately they didn't have any on this day...but I didn't seem to mind. Everything else was so delicious. I usually make everyone order something different so we can share & try many different dishes. It's been 3 months ago so I don't recall everything that was ordered.. I remember the gravy being delicious, chicken fried steak.. sweet cream pancakes,eggs Benedict. All delicious...they also have a bakery...we didn't buy anything but decided to go back again before I headed back to California. Again everything was delicious . I remember my son ordered pastrami and was very pleased. This time we grabbed so baked goods to bring home. I purchased a loaf of sourdough very reasonably priced and a young man offered to have it sliced for me...I also took mom home a muffin & some scones she throughly enjoyed. We were told the owner adopted children with disabilities and wanted to have a place where they could work...this is an amazing woman! She also supports the community with a barrel to place clothes in or donations for less fortunate. I will continue to support this business everytime im in Eugene...look forward to stopping in on my next trip this February!!

As a local, it truly breaks my heart to write this review. I always want to support our…read moreneighborhood businesses, but I have to be honest about my recent breakfast experience here. The Atmosphere I'll start with the positives: the decor is absolutely awesome. As a discophile, I spent half my time admiring the vinyls lining the walls. The model aircraft suspended from the ceiling and the upside-down table add a unique, cool character to the place that you just don't find elsewhere. Visually, it's a 5-star experience.. The Food & Drink Unfortunately, the meal itself was a different story. The Coffee: I'm a black coffee purist, but this was beyond horrible. It tasted completely "burnt"--to the point where I actually had to add sugar just to make it drinkable. Breakfast Burrito: This was, quite frankly, uneatable. I'm not sure if it was the black beans, the eggs, or something else in the mix, but the flavor was horribly off. Hash Browns: They were completely flavorless and added nothing to the plate. Jalapeños: I'm a huge fan of sauces and peppers, but somehow even the side of jalapeños was bad. On a smaller bright note, the English muffin was good (though it's hard to ruin one of those), and the water tasted great. I honestly can't recommend the water enough, which is a strange thing to say about a diner visit. Final Verdict I cannot recommend this spot for breakfast in good conscience. I hope I get the chance to come back and try their dinner menu to see if it's an improvement, but for now, the great decor just isn't enough to make up for the kitchen's performance.

Checked on me several times to make sure all was well! The decor here is pretty retro, and they have some cool items. A Marilyn Monroe poster/cutout!
