I'll start with the obvious, their burgers here are ridiculously good and they have over a dozen to choose from. I was skeptical at first as I really am just a diner smash patty and some cheese kinda guy. I really do not enjoy "gourmet" burgers. This place isn't that, they serve smash patties on all burgers made fresh d aily, owner came by and told us he won't open if he doesn't have fresh meat. The parties are AMAZING. The portions are just right finished the burger and had just a few tots left over. Service was also very good. When our server found out that it was our first time she made it a point to explain their menu and how the food is prepared etc. Her table service was frequent and subtle just the way we like it! The seat was comfortable and there is room for small and large parties here with some patio seating. We definitely will be regulars here. read more

Stopped in for a bite to eat for dinner on am weekend evening. It was pretty busy but some tables were available. I was craving the chicken and waffle but unfortunately they were out of their special batter and the waitress recommended ordering something else. So we had the Bacon Cheese burger on crack , with fries. And absolutely loved it! Cooked to order of medium-well (yes, you get to specify how you like your order cooked from medium rare to well done) . The bacon was fantastic, the burger flavorful and some chips on it and cheese made it wonderful. No regrets ordering this! Now I just have to go back and order the chicken and waffle some other time. I subtracted one star since the beer choices on tap are limited and the service was strange. Interior is cute and the menu is huge with soooo many options. Parking readily available in front of the restaurant. read more

Amazing food and an homage with menu items named after popular sports figures at U of O. Best crab mac and cheese I've ever had and the deep fried asparagus with the dipping sauces was unreal. Service was top notch. read more

One of the best burgers I have ever had! This place is fun and the service was very friendly! Just be aware they spice everything up. read more

Take a bag of pepper jerky, fill it 1/4 way with sugar syrup and add too much salt. You'll end up with the gooey "candy bacon"'here. On a more serious note, I like the idea of this place and it seemed friendly however I don't see this place staying around without better menu execution and either lower prices or improved quality (rather than simple layers of salt & fat). My fiancé's TL:DR- Tasty burger, 8 of 10, but only worth $20 since it's lane county. read more

Was a Sunday afternoon for lunch, so keep that in mind. Great food (and you best bring a healthy appetite, because there's plenty of it), classy place, fairly dim with good but not overpowering music. AMAZING service from Allison. Would make a great place for a date night! NOTE: Listed hours for Sunday are a bit off. "noonish to 10-ish PM" read more

Really tasty burger and tots! The place is inviting and friendly staff. Almost a little overly intrusive if you want a quite dinner, but honestly, it's more of a "here everyone knows your name" feel type of place. I can't remember the burger I got, but my friend got the one with peanut butter. We both really felt like they were huge, and quality. We both agreed that there was too much cumin in the onion jam. We will probably ask for that on the side next time as it was a little over powering. The truffle tots were perfectly crisp! Next time we come we will share because portions are gigantic. Yumm! We'll be back! read more

Amazing Burgers. I have eaten here 3 times and each time is better than the first. Big proportions, will customize orders, excellent Service. The Loaded-Tots are delicious with sprinkles of brown Sugar Bacon and if you get the fried mac & Cheese, know that it is 6 pieces and almost a meal in itself! Service from the bar was great with a good choice of beers and liquor - including a 10 year old Pappy Van Winkle available. Lots of room in the Air-conditioning inside. Outside seating is limited, but the parking is easy. Bathrooms are clean as well. read more

It's the twilight of this wonderful wonderful restaurant. We went had dinner, my usual spot on perfect Sloppy Pig then ordered 3 Mac and cheese to go for a quiet wake! I believe Thursday is their last night!! We will miss you !!!! read more

The food was fine. Not super, but not bad. Huge portions though, so a decent price for the amount.

Service was attentive, the portions are a good value and the food is inventive. I really enjoyed my Cajun burger and garlic parm fries. There is special attention given to the flavor and the preparation of the burgers. One of the best burger places in the area. My wife had a basic burger and also said it is one of her favorites. read more

Expecting a dining experience based on the online menu. Website says open till 9. Got there at 8:10. Walked in. Guy at the door says, "We're closed. We closed at 8:00." I said, "Web site says you're open till 9." He said, "Well they're wrong." Me: You should tell somebody." Him: "We don't have any control over that." What?! Does Google decide your hours of business? read more

Great burgers, nice staff, reasonably priced drinks from a full bar! We loved the truffle seasoning on the tots!! read more

Ate here for the first time tonight, the menu was intimidating due to the complex mix of flavors. We decided on: Jesse-laya: Spicyyyy but so filling and delicious. I wasn't sure how I felt about the sweet bacon but all in all it was amazing. Bacon Cheeseburger on crack: So much bacon it was unreal! Huge and filling. Spicy Papa Burger: Huggeeeeeee and spicy, so delicious and filling. read more

Managed to get back to Chow a year later. Burgers are still phenomenal. Had the PB&J and the Bacon Cheeseburger on Crack. This place is well worth the stop. read more

My wife and I just ate here on our date night and I thought it was review worthy. The food was delicious. The slow cook there bacon in a brown sugar glaze that turns it into some sort of all American candy. She had a burger with mushrooms in it and loved it. We also got appetizers-the blue cheese fries which had an awesome cheddar cheese sauce and bits of that bacon candy and- deepfried avacodos that were pretty good too. I got the wolverine#5 burger and it was awesome but HUGE! Probably would have taken a lot of it home but the owner apparently has a challenge where he has anyone who can finish it sign his bar with a sharpie soooo. Yeah I apparently had a 4lb dinner tonight, can't pass up a challenge like that. Must stop for anyone who's hungry trust me!!! read more

So this place was recommended to me whilst I was in a bar in Florence. As I travel to Eugene from time to time. Well, well, well... indeed I am lucky to have been sent to Chow. An extensive array of burgers and other tasty treats are offered. A well stocked bar, ample craft beers. An eclectic, comfy setting, just right for a beer and a bite. Some conversation and a break from whatever grind wears you down. Give Chow a try. I think you'll enjoy yourself. read more

The burgers here are delightful and delicious. Everything else is a little off. Club sandwich neither tastes or looks like a club, mac n cheese is never not sitting in a deep puddle of oil, chicken is alarmingly cold in all preparations. And I know that they're not known for vegetarian dishes but sometimes that's what I want and every time there are big ass burnt pieces of the veggies. I experienced this when I ordered the green garden and also the ratatouille. Every time the vegetable is unidentifiable and crunch and hard and so so gross and unpleasant. I really don't know how they manage it. And it's a shame because the flavor of every other component is so good. read more

So this is my second time here, been over a couple of years since I have been here. Walking in you are immediately hit with the wonderful smells of bacon and spices. The menu literally has 20 burgers to choose from, so yeah, this is a burger place. Ranging in price from 13-29 dollars you can get almost anything you want. Another fan favorite for me is the serving of tater tots. The often over looked forgotten step child to the French fry, I will take a tot over a fry everyday and twice on Sunday. So today, I ordered the Love burger. Anytime six pieces of bacon can be added to a burger, I am all in. Believe it or not that much bacon on a burger didn't overpower it at all and to me was the perfect amount. Here your able to order your party pretty much anyway you like your burger. You can have it hockey puck style or just shave some hair off and slap it's behind before sticking it on the bun! So no excuse for over or under cooked meat. I as always when presented the choice get tater tots, it's just my thing. With several add on flavors to these was well, you simply cannot go wrong here. If your looking for a great burger and happen to be downtown Springfield, you need to stop in for a bite at CHOW. read more

Chelsea MAC and Cheese with Shrimp! HOLY CHOW!!!!!!!!!! My God, my mouth had a food orgasm. I'm not one to do Yelp reviews BUT this place and this dish was so effin deserving of my review! I was passing by after a long day of driving and Chows was the only place open. They sat me down 15 minutes before the last call and the waiter still took his time to explain the daily specials and I never felt rushed. I would highly recommend this place to anyone and if you live here then I'm jealous that you have a hidden gem! read more

Super friendly staff! An absolute abundance of good food--and just the right spices for everyone!

BEST CHOICE EVER. We are doing the Adventure Date Challenge, and tonight's included going to a restaurant we've never been to, and letting the server choose your order. He even chose my beers and nailed it! We got : The Mac Attack burger- delicious, filling and CHEESY with garlic Parmesan tots that would repel a vampire (in the best way possible) Sabrina #20 sandwich... INSANELY good! Messy, but worth it.And the slaw was to die for. Ham & Peas Mac & Cheese... both of our favorite! The cheese sauce was perfection, the ham was delicious, the peas popped with freshness, and the brown sugar bacon SOO GOOD! read more

Food is top notch. But if you go, bring your own condiments. Ordered French fries and they have no ketchup, so we asked for ranch, waitress brought out a teaspoon full in a tiny cup. This is NOT an exaggeration. We all looked dumbfounded. We asked for more. She said "we make our own ranch and the cook gets mad if people waste it, so we only give small amounts." Seriously? Then stop making your own, bring on Hidden Valley and let us have as much as we want, and while you're at it, get some Heinz ketchup! read more

I was very anxious to try Chow. It gets good reviews and the menu sounds interesting. After attending a holiday event here, I have to say I was not impressed. The food was ok but not what I expected after all the rave reviews I read. The mac & cheese, while creamy and cheese, was just buried in garlic. I love garlic but this was too much. Way too much. All I could taste was garlic. The burgers were ok, but the bacon jam? that will be a hard pass from me. It was just so sweet, with a weird texture I found off-putting. Our service was great....no complaints at all there. The staff couldn't have been nicer. read more

Came here while on vacation as a recommendation of someone who lived in Springfield. We absolutely were NOT impressed and found it to be overpriced with lackluster food. The thought of the mac & cheese still makes me want to vomit a couple weeks later - it was horrible. I can't even describe the weird flavors it had, and my husband had the Dirty Mac and also found it unpleasant. Teens had burgers - keep in mind their spicy burger with 3 emojis was not spicy so perhaps the west coast doesn't do spice like we do in the Midwest? They don't have ketchup for the fries either which so weird, so we had ranch for dipping and the homemade ranch was not impressive. Service was fine, standard. Wasn't our favorite and we wouldn't be back even if we lived there. Bummer to have a crummy meal on vacation but it happens! read more

Heard about this place from someone at work. When we walked in it smelled so good, my mouth started watering. Ordered the B.A.B sandwich. Brie, Apple and slow cooked bacon. LOVED IT! read more

I really wanted to like the food here. Their concept and flavor pairings are inspired, however, their execution was lack luster as was their service. The food tasted unbalanced and oftentimes their signature bacon overpowered all the other flavors in the dish. Their server seemed bothered by our presence at times but remained courteous and obliged our requests for things like ice for our water, salt for our tots, and ranch dip for my kiddo. Despite all this, I have high hopes for Chow...there is a good deal of potential in their menu. read more

First, I have to say we are huge Cornucopia fans. Their burgers and fries are incredible. So to give Chow a five star rating is a big deal. While their fries aren't as good, their burgers are every bit as good (maybe even a little better; did I just say that?). We've had the Bacon Cheeseburger on Crack and the Mariota and both are incredible. The variety of burgers is amazing; probably over a dozen different options. We definitely will go back! read more

Burgers were good- lots of really interesting choices, not just your standard burger toppings. Big menu, so plenty to choose from for everyone. The portion sizes are generous, and the burger was tasty. The cook was a little under for me, so next time I'll order more medium well. The bacon is really good, and I love their selection of salads and the fry seasoning choices. Definitely get the garlic Parmesan! The server was fantastic, very friendly and made some great recommendations. This was my first time here but it won't be my last! read more

Pro tip: do not go heard alone unless you are famished because you're going to be buried in food. A very fun menu and a place to go with others so you can share and it helps if you like bacon. In fact, one of the appetizers was an entire pound of just bacon. I started off with 6 wings which were a meal all on their own. And sauced with...wait for it...plenty of bacon. I could not finish the salecca salad which was very generously slathered with dressing. The vibe is relaxed and fun and you'll leave both very full and smiling which is a pretty good combo. read more

This place is gut-bomb dot com but in the best way possible! The Yard Bird is all you need to know. We sub veggies for the fries add a soup and it's a meal for two. The other items always look good, but we can't seem to deviate from that Bird. For those liking spice, their Cajun preparations are dynamite! The shrimp was my fav. read more

The best burgers in Lane County. Great food and great service. This place should be voted the #1 burger in Lane County.

My wife and I had a really excellent meal at Chow 2 nights ago. The crab macaroni and cheese was excellent and the sweet potato tots were the best tots I've ever had and the best sweet potato I've ever had. The chef and the service were wonderful. Too bad I don't live closer so I could try more of their dishes. read more

The food is absolutely incredible!!! Everything is made in house and is absolutely astonishingly good!! The waitress was extremely helpful as well and accommodating to my mother's multitude of allergies!! read more

Two words: mouth orgasm This was my first time at Chow and I loved it. I had a loaded bacon burger on which the bacon was candied. OMG Thats right kids. CANDIED BACON The burger was absolutely perfectly cooked medium well, the bread perfectly toasted with just the right amount of char, not too heavy on the condiments, seasoned deliciously.. I cant say enough good things about this burger. May be even the best burger Ive ever eaten. I tried a Caesar chicken salad that was tossed in a homemade Caesar dressing, a tiny bit of anchovy, roasted fresh almonds, garlic fries and -- more candied bacon! OMG Like I said: mouth orgasm I ordered chicken wings for my son and they looked well done and browned nicely. My only critique I had for this dish was that the wing sauce was way too hot. I can take hot. This stuff is HOT. 30 minutes later... your mouth is still burning hot ... that kind of hot. I wonder what type of pepper was used? It tasted like habanero level or hotter. All in all - well done. read more

Stopped in on a Sunday at 5:50pm. The owner told us they were closing early but that we could still eat. Felt sort of rushed the whole time. Since we were the only ones there. Burgers seemed like they were trying hard to be fancy but the taste wasn't anything to write home about. A lot of the add ons on them were not good at all. They also had to notify us they use a different scale of doneness, like normal medium is medium well there or something. Simplicity could improve the food here read more

OMG you want a great burger then this is the place! Crazy combos split one for two! Best burger I have had that I did t make myself!!!!

One word: bacon. It is as phenomenal as they say. They source it locally and it sounded like almost daily, and same is true for their beef. We ordered the Mariota burger and it was great. You can choose different seasonings for your tots or fries (like truffle oil or Parmesan and garlic) which was a nice touch. They make all their own sauces and dressings except for ketchup, which makes it that much more fun. Service was friendly and helpful. The only drawback I have for the place is that the menu is only a little bit overwhelming--there are so many options for burgers which is great, but it took us awhile to decide! Maybe that's a good problem to have though, and we definitely chose well. Great semi-casual place to grab a burger or some Mac and cheese (they said that was supposed to be good also), or just order two full plates of bacon (because it's that good). You actually can get a pound of bacon as an appetizer. That is my only regret after dining here...I should have ordered more bacon. Will be dreaming about their bacon tonight. You get my point by now. read more

Had the Dude sandwich and it's by far the best sandwich I've ever had. Just in Springfield for the day looking for a cool place for lunch and we were not disappointed. We will definitely be back to try a different sammy or burger. read more

Amazing food, great service, eclectic vibes. Great spot for date night! They serve big portions. I love their fried chicken dishes.
