Stopped in Eugene on our drive to Portland. It was very busy on a Sunday morning. But our wait was not that bad. I got a two egg breakfast and my gf got a omelette. The service was top tier, everyone was super nice. Our food was good but nothing too spectacular. read more

Typical diner with lots of regular customers. Large parking lot with plenty of nearby street parking. Food was good but breakfast cooking is easy. Portion was smallish for the price paid ($16.50 for corn beef hash). Service was fast but place really not too large so can't accommodate too large a party. read more

Brail's Restaurant - Corn beef hash w/ French toast option - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

First, the good news: Both the atmosphere and service were fine. Next, the not-so-good: my breakfast items ranged in quality from terrible all the way up to "nondescript." The latter applies to poached eggs and pancakes. Pancakes were fluffy, but flavorless. The distinctive buttermilk taste was missing and the accompanying syrup was fake. The biggest loser was corned beef hash, which, if you're seeking hypertension, would be an excellent choice. I should probably lay off salt for a couple of days. At least the portion was small. Hindsight would suggest that I douse the hash with the syrup to neutralize the adverse effects of each. Or, maybe that wouldn't work. I will not be back. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else. read more

We call it "secret" brails because it's hidden off the beaten path of downtown. Plus, it used to be called something else before or was Brail's. Vegetable fried rice omelet with veggie gravy on top. So amazing and unexpected. Staff is chatty and fun. Been coming here for about 4 years. And it's never disappoints !! read more

This is the "fruit plate" for $7.95 .... Anywhere else this would've been 3-4 bucks. I was shocked . I get prices have raised but label it a fruit bowl and then I'll reconsider ordering a measly side for almost $10.... Service was meh , servers were short and snippy read more

Late weekend brunch and it was pretty good. No complaints about service or food. Did have to ask for a few table items but I was late to join my party so there is that. I like that it wasn't super busy and we were seated right away (so I heard). read more

Good food, Quick Service, and a rustic vibe. The Eggs Benedict was well done with good flavor and the home fries were full of flavor. We got in and out in about 30-40 minutes. The prices felt high side of average. But it was reasonable for the meal. I'd come back again. read more

Service was awful. Uncooked omelette. Brought out coffee cup with lipstick on it and when we told the waitress she seemed like it was no big deal. She also forgot menu items ordered. Play sucks and I'll be turned into the health department when they serve you cups like that with crap on there like lipstick and what not and food uncooked. read more

Really solid breakfast! These pancakes were enormous (even for a sampler) and so fluffy. We left feeling so full. We also loved the Korean spicy pork omelette - the egg was cooked perfectly, not rubbery and also not liquid. Just the right amount of fluffy and moist that you want. It looks like it gets really busy at times, so prepare for a moderate wait if you come at a busy time such as a Saturday. We were lucky to just walk right in and there was an open table. I'm sure we will be back again when the craving hits! read more

Brail's is my favorite part of the week... we look forward to Sunday breakfast with great food and amazing staff who feel like family.

Always a good experience eating here. They are always busy on the weekends so prepare to wait for a table. Food is always amazing and the service (even when busy) is fantastic Used to come here all the time on Sundays when it was the Keystone Café. Casual easygoing ambiance. read more

Brail's has been around for a very long time and is a local staple for breakfast food in the area. The food is served hot and quick. Staff is attentive and friendly. They have a good size menu with many options. Portions are to be expected not to little or to much. They recently expanded the seating too so there's more room than they used to have. We enjoyed our stop here recently and have in the past as well. read more

Went to Brails for first time. Food was delicious and served quickly. The service was fast and very friendly. The place was cute and clean Would highly recommend read more

The server was amazing! Forgot his name, unfortunately, but he made sure our waters were always full, same for coffee. Asked us questions to make sure our meal is up to their standards. Was super fast and had a great work ethic. The food was delicious, I had the Brail's omelet, and I ate all of it! The hash browns were the only thing that was somewhat disappointing; it's not because they tasted terrible. Just not as good as other breakfast spots in town. Tasted bland and flavorless in my opinion. We were in and out of there within an hour. No wait to get seated, which was surprising on a Saturday morning. Coffee was hot and ready for us. The menu items are kind of pricey. You definitely get what you are paying for, which is refreshing compared to some places where the proportions are smaller. Overall, I would recommend this place to anyone who wants a quick, delicious breakfast. It does depend on the day and time you arrive, and how fast you'll be seated. I would say the earlier you are, the better chance you have of getting a quick seat and a fast but fresh meal. read more

They are soooooo nice here and the food is amazing!! Literally best service ever and the hash browns are to die for read more

Brail's Restaurant - Small Breakfast and Eggs Benedict - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

For starters, bummer about Keystone Cafe going under to Brailles. It was a lovely establishment gull of character. Braille's is not. Having lived in Eugene for over 10 years, and frequenting the original Braille's, I expected the quaint family owned establishment vibe, especially in a small town atmosphere such as Eugene. This wasnt it. Rushed through my order by Chad, the front end guy who had an urgency to him that made me and my family feel quite unwelcome, it didnt help that even their drink portions were ridiculously small. An 8 oz glass of OJ is a "large"? Maybe at McDonalds.(in all reality, the waiter didnt even acknowledge the fact I said "LARGE" quite prominently before he rushed off with the drink order). The meal was pretty unmemorable. Outside of them omitting the charge for the hashbrowns my wife couldnt eat and so asked that they be omitted, the meal wasnt anything to write home about. Service was substandard for a small family owned business, regardless of the 2nd location opening. Having worked in the service industry for over 12 years consistently, there is a set expectation you have for a dining establishment. Not to mention having dined all over the country in different environments all over, alone and with company. I wish i had better news about this little place, but I dont. We pro ably wouldve had a better dining experience at the Pancake House. Outside of that, we enjoyed each others company immensely, played rock-paper-scissors while waiting patiently for everyone's meals to arrive, which happened over the course of 15 minutes. read more

THIS PLACE ROCKS! So on a quick visit here in Eugene and my friends brought me here. HANDS DOWN the veggie eggs benedict is the best I have had. I ordered it with added ham ,hash browns and a shared small onion rings with blue cheese dressing. EGGS BENEDICT-The hollandaise was creamy, light and crafted to PERFECTION. I normally ask for the sauce on the side, but my friends assured me to take the plunge- glad I did! It is sooooo refreshing to have properly poached eggs, amazing how some people mess it up, not here! The ham was a great addition, not too salty or dry... just right! The tomato was plump and ripe and the avocado was too. The spinach was the perfect portion and bright, not bitter or "grassy" like spinach sometimes can be. Who ever created this recipe obvious took the time to really balance all the flavors and not one ingredient over powered another! GREAT JOB... I....AM....IN....LOVE... HASHBROWNS: The hashbrowns..... a gift from the "POTATO GOD".... I could write a novel on how they restored my faith in humanity! ok-they too were STELLAR in short. Perfect crispy outside-creamy inside... drooling again thinking about them. ONION RINGS: THEY BLEW MY MIND BLUE CHEESE DRESSING: words can not describe housemade chunky blue cheese that makes you unable to even say YUM. HOLY MACKRELL-I was speechless! The service was AMAZING.PERIOD.FULL STOP. I LOVE the fact that they had small grinders of pink salt and peppercorns... who does that? Again the small details show care and appreciation to complement the food. The only thing I wish was changed or different.. . . . . .....that this doggy had room for seconds! read more

So the main dishes was good. My omelet was really delicious. My GFs breakfast burrito was also very good. However the food was not hot. The gravy was straight cold. And I could tell almost right away that it came straight from a can. The place was being remodeled so the place could be cleaner, but I can look past that due to their situation. The service was very accommodating. Overall I had to give them only 3 stars. Due mainly for the fact that here in Eugene so many other place make their food from scratch...instead from a can. This place has potential for greatness if they can prepare better read more

This place is great. Quick service & consistently delicious food. I got the French toast (was just ok) with bacon (the bomb.com) and cheesy eggs (good). The mimosa was the highlight of my meal. I got the large and it was $10, worth it! My friend got pancakes (star of the show!) and sausage patty (was huge!) with home fries (pretty good!). It was so delicious we tried to come back a few days later, but they are closed on Mondays. read more

Delicious food, generous portions, cozy atmosphere and the friendliest service we've had in a long time!

This place has been a staple in eugene forever. Great hash browns, crispy and great portion! Joy's special is truly something special. The gravy and the hollandaise are mediocre, that's why I don't give 5 stars! The hollandaise is very sweet, I assume it's from a packet?? I really prefer a lemony one. The sausage gravy is ok. Not bad, just not exciting or full of that sausage flavor. read more

My guy has been bragging this place up for a while now, he walks here from his work quite a bit. I have been hesitant on coming because many years ago I had bad food/ bad experiences at the other location. I figured I would give it a shot since he is more picky than I am, and he was with me at the other place during those experiences. I have also learned that giving another location is key, or just going back after a while is key. Not in all instances, but in some cases things change. Fast forward to today, we decided on dining here since it's close by work. He pretty much knew what he wanted, and I also almost knew what I wanted instantly based off of what he has been bragging about. I don't end up with what he recommends, which was some sort of pork dish, and Kim chi. I ordered the bulgolgi, and Kim chi, with the brown rice. He ordered the Moco Loco, and sourdough toast. I was very happy with my dish, and he was with his. The toast looked home made. Not sure if it was, but it sure looked great. The Kim chi was okay to me. He loves it. I feel like I have had better. Some times we clash on things we both like. I would order this again. He said he likes the pork dish a little better than the beef. I personally am more of a beef fan, so it's hard to say what I would like better until I have tried them both. I am definitely glad I came in here to give it a shot, because the food was delicious, and there was a line out the door even in the rain. Thankfully we showed up before the line had formed. read more

I love Brails and I am so thankful that they found a way to stay open during the COVID closures by offering curbside pickup. What inspired me to do the most recent order with them is that they are now offering their bloody mary mix. A 16oz jar for a little over $6. They approximate that to make two servings of Bloody Mary once you add the ice and vodka. AND if you bring the jar back to refill with the mix you get a dollar off. This order was very easy to make. Just call in the order and then pull up curbside to pick up your food and to pay. An employee (wearing a mask and gloves) will come out and meet you. Very easy transaction. The food was great, of course. It's not the same as dining in but, hey, it saved me time on making breakfast myself and I got to support one of Eugene's popular restaurants. But that bloody mary mix though... read more

Good food. A staple here in Eugene. It holds college brunch to a new level. I recommend the poached eggs

An excellent spot for breakfast as evidenced by the wait on Saturday and Sunday mornings.

We've always enjoyed our breakfasts @ their original spot in W. Eugene but tried their 5th street location because of proximity to the train station. We won't make that mistake again. Cold: Hashbrowns, over-done link sausage and eggs "over easy" but no runny yoke remaining.. very disappointing and so much louder than W. Eugene. So many restaurants in Eugene still seem to be having problems "post" Covid and this one joins a long growing list. read more

Excellent servers and food!! The ambiance was comfortable casual and very warm and welcoming!!

Brails is dope! We came on a busy Sunday morning during brunch rush hour. Service was reasonably prompt and friendly despite the hustle and bustle. Prices are reasonable, and along with the classic brunch items there are a handful of creative and tasty Asian-fusion dishes! The food is simple, unpretentious, but very well executed with very obvious attention to detail. Hash browns are shatteringly crispy on the outside and fluffy and moist on the inside. Will have to try the kimchi next time I'm in town. 5 stars and my new go to brunch spot in Eugene. read more
