The place has decent service, and not a ton of ambiance, but the thing that really makes it stand out was the food. What I had was a mix of mac & cheese with bacon, a grilled cheese and fries..... a grilled cheese mac & cheese sandwich with fries! It was delicious, and everything I thought it would be! If you've been looking for a grilled cheese mac & cheese, this is your place. read more

I have never had restaurant made poutine before... only what I have made at home. So I wanted to try some, and Cozmic Charlie's has great reviews. My first time to Beergarden too. It was raining lightly, so having the picnic tables protected from the rain was nice. I ordered Dire Wolf Poutine, and was very pleased with the service I recieved. The food? I could barely finish it, huge portion. I really should have taken about half home with me, but I managed to eat it all. It was very good, lots of curds, fries were tasty, fried chicken was yummy, and the gravy was very tasty. Highly recommended! read more

Located in the Beergarden my partner and I were very pleased to have stubbled upon cosmic Charlie's we ordered the Cuban and the pulled pork Mac and cheese. We were both impressed by our meals and really adored the pulled pork. His Cuban was hefty and my Mac was plenty for us to share if we doubled up on meat. We were there during live music and the hight of the dinner rush and got served in about 15 minutes. This is a great spot for people who aren't lactose intolerant. read more

Tried Cozmic Charlie's today. Got the traditional poutine, grilled cheese with bacon, and tomato soup. The soup was super flavorful. It tasted like it might have roasted red pepper in it. The poutine was ok. I felt it should have come with double the amount of fries for the amount of gravy with came with as well as the price. The light gravy was flavorful though. The grilled cheese had a nice crust on the outside. I think I would have preferred more cheese inside than on the outside, but dipped in the soup it was a great bite! This is inside the beergarden. There is a sign on the food truck that says that you will have better service if you order through the app. I decided I'd rather order in person cause I wanted to make sure that my fries were extra crispy. The guy seemed possibly a bit annoyed that I didn't just use the app. I think customers are super important and felt a little slighted by that. They warned me by posting that sign, just my opinion though. The food truck itself has fun decor and has a little table with the condiments out front. Will be back to try other stuff for sure read more

Great food and great customer service. The food was fresh and flavorful. They have a great variety on their menu and the prices are fair. Ordered our food to go but the ambiance was relaxed and comfortable. I will be back to try other menu items. read more

Everything we ordered was incredibly delicious. The pulled pork sandwich with cheese was perfectly cooked, flavorful, and satisfying. The Cubano was spot on, crispy, savory, and packed with amazing flavor. We also had the tomato soup and the beer cheese soup, and both were fantastic. The beer cheese soup was truly next level and easily a 10 out of 10. Every bite was amazing and we will definitely be back. The person who was cooking our food was really nice and came out trying to find us because our beeper didn't go off. Super nice of them to find us in beer garden, great service incredible food! The beer cheese soup had so much flavor read more

BEST Pulled Pork Mac and Cheese since I lived in Georgia. Awesome portion sizes, everything tastes fresh and delicious. The pork is so tender and juicy the bbq sauce is tangy/ sweet, the proportion to Mac and toppings is so excellent. Meat in every bite. Plus who doesn't love the Beer garden, it's 44 outside and 74 in the bubble.highly reccomend. read more

I had the chance to finally try Cozmic Charlie's today, and I'm so glad I did! I got the cheese curds, Jerry's ham and Swiss with tomato soup, and a lavender lemonade. The service was friendly and fast, and the menu is interesting. They don't have a ton of different types of items, but they have several poutine and grilled cheese options that are interesting and lots of toppings to customize too! The food truck is in a pod with other options, and is what you'd expect from a food cart. They are moving in October, but not too far from where they are now. As for the food, overall it was excellent. The tomato soup was not my favorite, but it wasn't bad. I did use it as a dip for the cheese curds, which was good. I would've liked a marinara or pizza sauce, but the soup worked fine. The cheese curds were the best I've ever had. They were light, fried perfectly, and the batter was crispy without being too much. The sandwich was huge and tasty. I didn't get the fig jam (not a fan of sweet with cheese, but I can see how it would work well with the sandwich.it was great without though!). The lavender lemonade also was made perfectly. A good balance of sweet, tart, and floral. No soapy taste which can happen with lavender items. Another best I've ever had item. I have a smaller appetite these days, and while I appreciate a good portion size for the price, I can't ever finish a meal so being able to reheat is super important to me. I thought this would reheat terribly, especially the cheese curds. Fried food never reheats well. I am so happy to say that the curds and the sandwich not be ere just as delicious and amazing reheated as they were fresh. I am so impressed about that! The cheese curds lost their crunch, but the texture of the breading and the taste was still fantastic, and the sandwich was not soggy or gross from a quick reheat. Check them out before they move, and again when they move! I'm looking forward to trying more from them! read more

I've been hearing rave reviews about this place, and it was on my list to try. My husband and I decided to go together and have a nice little lunch date together. I ordered the Philly cheesesteak with tomato soup and lavender lemonade. My husband had the pulled pork sandwich and fries. Food-wise, my Philly cheesesteak was super bland and boring. It was actually really hard to eat, because nothing made me want to go back for another bite. Zero points on the craveability scale. I ended up only eating half of it because I just couldn't keep eating something so boring. My husband finished it for me, but said it wasn't much different than the frozen Philly cheesesteak sandwiches you buy at Costco. Soup was decent, but still meh. The woman next to us at the table raved about their beer cheese soup. My husband's pulled pork was actually really good. So were the fries. So he had a good meal. I was a bit jealous. Service was less than stellar. The woman taking our order was straight up rude, bordering on hostile. The guy working seems much kinder and spoke to my husband when he returned his tray, and seemed to care more about our experience. But the woman who took our order being so rude and unkind is really what sticks in my mind. it costs absolutely nothing to be a decent human, and she failed miserably. I think the customer service was the worst part about the experience. The woman helping us acted like she was being forced to be there and begrudgingly did so. Which was incredibly disappointing to me, because I would've given them another try had she been kinder to my husband. I ended up leaving without feeling full, because the food was bland. The single best part of my entire meal was the lavender lemonade. Which meant we had to go stop by another restaurant so I could actually eat a decent meal and be full. This is a pet peeve of mine, when I go out and have to go somewhere else to actually eat. Would I return? Maybe in the very distant future, after I've had time to forget how ugly the woman working the counter was to my husband. But it'll be a good long while. Which is really annoying and disappointing. I would think if the goal is to introduce customers to your business, being rude isn't a great first impression. But that's just me. I wanted better than this experience, and was definitely let down.

Easy to find with free parking available inside the lot, Cozmic Charlie's is a good choice for elevated versions of food such as poutine, grilled cheese and one of my favorites, the cheesesteak sandwich. There is plenty of outdoor covered seating available so you can relax, eat here, enjoy some music.. Eric and Kelly greet you with a smile and are very easy going. I had the Cassady's Cheesesteak with fries. Now THAT is a cheesesteak. The meat was very tender. The provolone melted well with sautéed onions and the al dente bell peppers. The pub roll is the perfect base for these ingredients and makes for one of the best cheesesteaks I've had in a while. The fries are regular size and perfect for dipping in their fry sauce. The Cherry lemonade was cool and refreshing, not to tart at all, just tart enough. My favorite however is the Thai iced tea. It has a creamy texture and is not too sweet. This food court area is actually a very nice environment and the comfort food served by Cozmic Charlie's is the perfect reason to come hang out. read more

I got food from this spot for the first time today and it was so good! It took about 10 minutes to be ready and it was hot and fresh when I got it. I got the chicken and bacon mac and cheese and it was delicious. The chicken was juicy and crispy and the bacon was crispy, not fatty or soft, just the way I like it. The cheese sauce was really smooth and creamy and it wasn't too salty like other mac sauces in town have been. The stall is tucked away in the back so you can't see it from the main area but if you walk back there you can see it pretty easy. It's definitely worth the walk! read more

Had lunch here earlier this week. Cold rainy day outside in Eugene. This is a food truck located in the Beergarden. Had grilled cheese with tomato soup and grilled cheese and bacon with fries. Very tasty soup and sandwiches. Warm and dry under outdoor tent with heat. Also convenient to get a beer and glass of wine. Very nice lunch. read more

Honestly I would probably rank the food 4 but the lady running the front was just in a bad mood and rude to my wife. They were fairly busy and we were ok with that but she seemed upset we were even there and just set the tone for the entire experience. Sandwich itself tasted good, especially liked the cheese fried on the bread and fries were pretty mediocre but the fry sauce helped a lot and made them pretty tasty! Dill pickle pasta salad is the star side here -- very good. Dire wolf poutine was pretty average, I'd probably lean for something else next time. Chicken needed maybe a drizzle of extra gravy on top. Mac and cheese had such great texture but pretty bland, little extra salt would have made it pop. All in all -- good food, terrible human interaction. Would not return. read more

Best cheese curds I've had in 30 years in Oregon. Owners hail from close to where I grew up in north central WI, and get their curds from there. It shows. These are the greasy gloppy batter-soaked mess found elsewhere around town - these are dry dusted, hot fried and perfect! A shame to put anything on these beauties. . . Let the cheese do the talking! Also had an absolutely monstrous and perfect muffaletta. The muffaletta bun was superb - sesame-coated like it should be, light and yeasty. The fillings were classic - mortadella, cheese, giardiniera. This behemoth easily fed three of us after I got it home and sliced up. Well worth the money and a "must try" at the Beergarden. read more

Cozmic Charlie's has landed in Eugene, and just in time! Their hearty poutines, grilled cheese sandwiches and fried cheese curds are the perfect comfort food for the cold & rainy season. I got their "Dire Wolf" poutine ($14) which features fries, cheese curds, gravy, chicken tenders, bacon and green onions. Are you drooling yet?? It was absolutely fantastic, with tons of quality chicken and beautifully arranged. And the best part? The little squeaky sound as I was chewing the cheese curds, which is a mark of freshness. It's a large amount of food that is best shared with a few people. But if not, it's great out of the fridge the next day. As a fan of capreses, I tried their Caprese sandwich ($14) which comes with fries or tomato soup. Once again, this was a winner. All the caprese ingredients and flavors were there. It was thoughtfully constructed and easy to eat without making a mess. The bread was nice and crispy. The soup was really good too, a little smokey, tangy, and spicy, a good pairing to the sandwich. Also a good amount of food for the price. For the lactose intolerant, they have a fancy peanut butter & jelly sandwich that has 3 berry preserves served on grilled cinnamon bread for just five bucks. I am psyched to try out their other poutines and sandwiches. The people working are very nice and care about quality food. You can also order online. Definitely check this place out! read more

We got the Ham & Swiss with fries. Hands down the best H&S (and maybe best grilled cheese) we've ever eaten. Just the right ratio of meat to cheese to bread and toasted up to crunchy/gooey perfection. The real star though, and in my opinion the reason why this sandwich was irresistible, was the inclusion of the fig jam. Yuuuummm. Truthfully the fries were just okay...but the sandwich deserves 5 stars alllll by itself. read more

I stopped and had the cheesesteak which had all of the things you'd expect good beef, onions, peppers, provolone, sub roll Enough said.

With more and more of the vegan food options disappearing in Eugene I was so glad to find Cozmic Charlies! They have a myriad of grilled cheese sammys for all, including a couple of vegan options. I had the Pepperoni Pizza Grilled Cheeze Sandwich. Wonderfully melty vegan cheeze, marinara, and vegan pepperoni combine to create a perfectly cooked pepperoni pizza grilled cheeze sammy. The vibe of the joint is super fun and the staff is super friendly too! Run, don't walk to the Cedar Tree Food Truck Pod and try Cozmic Charlies today! read more

The service was spectacular! The owners are so friendly and helpful! They have a good amount of parking, but getting in and out of the lot can be a bit tricky.

I rarely give five star reviews, but a 4 star wouldn't do justice. The staff was very friendly, and the poutine was excellent! I got the Dire Wolf (I think that's the name) with chicken and bacon on the regular poutine. I LOVE poutine, and I wasn't disappointed. Crispy fries, crispy chicken and bacon, melty curds....and the gravy was wonderful. It was just salty enough to make you want a beverage (they are located in the beer garden) without being too salty. I will definitely be back to try the other options. read more

Only food truck open on a grey Sunday in Astoria so we thought we'd give it a try. My partner and I both got the grilled cheese combo with soup. They were unfortunately out of tomato soup, which would have been our first choice, but we instead ended up with beer cheese and Mexican tortilla. Both soups were good, but I think the beer cheese paired better with the sandwich. it was nice that the Mexican tortilla even came with tortilla chip toppings. The grilled cheese definitely did not skimp on the cheese. Cheesy gooey goodness all around. Friendly service, good value. Would be back to try some of the other things off their menu. The food cart pod they are located in does have a few tables and chairs for outdoor seating, but it is not a covered area, so you would need to take your food to go if it's rainy out. read more

Got a delicious order of classic poutine and lavender lemonades on a beautiful Sunday afternoon from an incredibly friendly person at this little food stand.

SOOO FLIPPIN GOOD. I found out about this place through someone promoting it for vegan dining month. As a vegan, there isn't a ton of variety in Eugene- so whenever I have the chance to try something new, I go all in. Not only was the service spectacular, but the food was everything I ever dreamed. I am a sandwhich lover & I was so excited that there were sandwhich options I could enjoy! Every single vegan item is delicious. I've tried them all!! The tomato soup is obviously homemade! It's soo good & pairs with EVERYTHING. I really don't think you'll leave disappointed. I've brought my non-vegan friends here, as there are wayyy more options for them- & they love it too!! After our meal we stared at each other in amazement. Our pallets had been on such a wonderful adventure & we talked about it the rest of the way home. The owners are SO kind & the vibe of the whole place is so calm and cute. They have string lights hanging up and vibey music playing. This is THE SPOT. A must try. At least once. Did i mention they have a stamp card system?? 11/10 !!! I hope you guys are super successful in your business. You really deserve it. (i rarely leave yelp reviews, but i just had to!!) I wish I had photos, but we devoured everything so quickly. I guess you'll have to come see for yourself ;) read more
