My wife and I just enjoyed an amazing Thanksgiving dinner prepared by the great staff at Forrester's. The dinner portions were very generous. The turkey was tender and moist. Potatoes and stuffing were tasty. Wife says the gravy was a little salty, but she ate it all . I bought two dinners, but we ended up with plenty of leftovers. The staff was very friendly with everyone, smiles and a nice Thanksgiving greeting. This is the first time that we enjoyed the Forrester's Thanksgiving dinner. My wife just had a total knee replacement so she didn't have much of an appetite. This was an exceptional dinner option. Thank you to the Forrester's staff for a very nice dinner and friendly service. Happy Thanksgiving ! read more

Being disappointed by the lunch twice, we decided to try the breakfast to give them a fair chance. We shared a crab omelet, so we didn't order two thing we didn't care for- just in case. The omelet took 45 minutes to get to us, and the omelet and our hasbrowns were stone cold when they hit our table. We didn't say anything, because our server seemed great and overwhelmed. She seemed to be the only server for the whole bar area on a Sunday afternoon. This place is a glorified Denny's. If that's your jam, you should like it- but Applebee's is in the same parking lot and probably a lot cheaper with the same quality of fried Sysco products. read more

Truly has a pacific NW vibe. The Sasquatch burger was very good and good sized. Tots were ok. Service was on point. I'll definitely be back

I ordered a cup of Artichoke soup, my sister ordered a cup of clam chowder. We split a chicken wrap. The artichoke soup was delicious but just warm, not hot. Same for the clam chowder except the chowder featured more potatoes than clams. Chicken wrap was excellent and more than enough for two to split. Our waitress was friendly, helpful and the service was great. Lots of varied selections on the menu. We were seated by the restrooms so there were lots of people going back and forth past our table. I would request a different table if seated there. read more

Food and ambiance were just fine. Try the French Dip, fries are good as well. The place seems to be popular with the local lunch crowd so be prepared if you go at noon. Overall very good. read more

Surprisingly impressed with the food every time we go here, for what looks to be a rather unassuming place. Breakfast lunch or dinner, you can't go wrong. Staff are just friendly and involved enough. Love all the artichoke dishes. read more

If you want to go to a good restaurant without dressing up all fancy, come here and you will not be disappointed. It's a relaxed setting with family friendly vibe. They have breakfast lunch and dinner served all day and all of it is delicious. I've had the Country Breakfast Combo, the Big Texas Brisket Sandwich and the French Dip. All of these dishes did not disappoint and would order them again. They have a full bar and have outside seating that you can enjoy your beverage on sunny days. read more

Our experience was perfect. My daughter and I went in for appetizers and a drink. The fried pickles were crunchy and not soggy. The ranch was perfect, and the additional sauce was zesty and flavorful. We also had fried artichoke hearts. That's a tall order considering we are from California and lived only 20 minutes from the artichoke capital of the world. We know good artichoke hearts. I would give them a seven on a scale from 1 to 10. They could easily get up to a 10 if they did an actual fluffy batter on the artichoke hearts. The crust around the artichoke hearts is good but underwhelming. They get an eight because they are hard to find and I was happy. They had them on the menu. Service was perfect. Our waitress was attentive and quick. She was friendly and professional. I had the Marion Berry lemon drop with a sugar rim. It is a premium cocktail and they could do one up with it if they held off on the triple sec, and used orange juice instead. Still, It was absolutely delicious. We also discovered a new cider. If you like a sweet cider, you will love strawberry magic by cider boys. I believe it was on tap and what a treat. The restaurant was clean and the environment was family friendly. There was a good deal of chatter, but nothing uncomfortable or overwhelming. We will definitely be returning for appetizers and drinks in the future. The only negative thing I have to say has to do with the smell. When I first walked in I noticed it right away that there was a heavy smell of fried food. And when we got into our cars, we realized that it had permeated our clothing and our hair. This morning, when my daughter got up her hair reeked of cooking grease. She was pretty bummed out. I would not go here if I was going on a date because I certainly wouldn't want to take that smell with me but if you don't mind that in the evening, it's game on because I felt the juice was worth the squeeze. read more

Ordered the Angus tri-tip sandwich. All it was was sliced stuff roast beef with smoked seasoning. It was very fatty and did not taste at all like tri-tip. We are not greeted when we went in and the lady was very short and rude. It was during the day so it was the daytime girl. It was only one girl on the floor when we walked in the fries were overdone. I would not recommend this place and I would never go back. read more

I enjoyed lunch with my grandfather to celebrate him to day as he is a veteran who served 25 years in the Army. We thoroughly enjoyed our meals and our waitress was amazing!

My Partner and I wanted to try a spot we haven't gone to and we would like to rate our overall experience a 10/10! Everything was so yummy. I had a Hot Cider and my partner had a Seasonal Apple Spice Mimosa not really sure but it is on the Seasonal menu! We had around a 15 minute wait for a table but the Host was very kind and so was our Server. Service was great! Food was great! Will be coming again. read more

This clam chowder was very good, and the service was good as well. But the claw chowder bowl was a bit small. Not a ton of ambiance. It would be a good place to get something to eat and watch the Ducks games. read more

I ordered a blt plus chowder which was the soup of the day. This place should make anyone happy as the menu covers everything. I've ordered a number of items and all have been very good. I would say the ambiance is a bit wanting tho. The service is usually quite prompt and I am one who is pretty sensitive to poor service. read more

Every establishment I walk into starts with five stars, what they do from there is 100% up to them. We ordered onion rings for appetizers which came with two fresh dips and were some of the best rings we've had. Amazing! My dinner came with soup, ordered the Chicken Corn Chowder. Amazing, and would order this again but get a bowl instead. It's that good! Now comes the "Rub" part: I have been eating chicken virtually my entire life and am very versed with it, what it looks like and texture should be, as I had a lot of raising by Southern Grandparents. I love good chicken. What was served was a chopped meat, more on the dark side, for a better terminology, "Chicken McNugget" affair, deep fried and heavily breaded. No beautiful white chicken breast, bursting with flavor. Their menu called it out, and their picture on line showed it. The pictures I took and what I got was a polar opposite. It struck me as a lower-end Sysco-type frozen patty that was pulled out of a bag, deep fried and country grave smothered over it. The corn was frozen and had a weird taste to it, which was confirmed by my wife. Service was good, but she should have questioned why half or so of my meal was still on the plate. Establishment was clean including the restroom and overall had a decent vibe about it. This place has the potential to do much better, they just have to do it. Will we be back? I'd have to think that one over, as there are lots of great restaurants with great offerings for the same price, so we will see. One thing for certain, I would never order the "Country Fried Chicken" as it differs radically from what it is presented to be and what reality is. Please, review my pictures and judge for yourself and look at my other reviews. read more

Great service! We were immediately seated and taken care of. Hostess even asked if I wanted a table in the bar because it was quieter than the main room (they had a large party in there). The staff was busy with the larger party but made sure were taken care of. The menu has a variety of items for every one. I appreciate their smaller portion items as well! I ordered the basic breakfast with 1 egg, 1 meat, hash browns and toast and it was the perfect amount of food for the price. The chicken fried steak was delicious. Batter was crispy, the steak itself was actually flavorful. Glad we stopped on by. read more

Dungeness crab omelette all day!!! My husband never eats omelettes and he devoured this one! Biscuit was moist, warm and seemed fresh. Delish! The kids French toast was tasty, although I think they should make a blueberry compote instead of serving thawed frozen blueberries. I guess kids don't care? Overall good quality food for the price always served with a smile. We'll be back soon. read more

Forrester's Bar and Grill - Kids French toast with blueberries - New American Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

Local eatery in Eugene, with a large menu selection. Including breakfast served anytime. But it's not a breakfast place. This is a lunch or dinner place. Has a full bar, and presents itself as a sports eatery. The service was mediocre at best. Our server said she was new. She was very young, and I suspect it is her first job. She took our drink and appetizer order. Returned with our drinks and took our main course order. (She didn't know what French dressing was.) Our salads arrived (with French dressing), and soon our main meal arrived. Then our appetizer arrived. We are not ones to complain, the food was good, except the mashed potatoes. Why do some people add sour cream to mashed potatoes? I HATE SOUR CREAM. The appetizer was hot. The country fried steak was just frozen patties, and mediocre at best. Wifey had the shrimp, she said it was good. All in all, while our server has a lot to learn. The food was OK, the service was comical. As for cost, it's not cheap, but not expensive. Probably a little overpriced. So I give it 3 stars, based on price and quality alone. The server was new, so I don't hold that against her. read more

Finally got by here for a breakfast experience (more like brunch time). Our server was very nice and very efficient, which was great considering they were once again plenty busy and always seem like they could benefit from one more set of hands. I ordered the special which was pumpkin crepes and they just need one word - YUM. They were light and sweet and delish. Sometimes when I order something sweet for breakfast when we go out, I'm disappointed by the overly sweetness. But this was just right and the flavor was pumpkin without being overpowering. My side of egg and sausage was good too (hard to go wrong there). I would LOVE to know how they get the eggs perfectly round AND not stick to a pan.... I don't recall what my cohorts had but I think they also enjoyed their food offerings. Forrester's is definitely a return-to type of place, which is great because sometimes I feel like this area of town can be lacking. read more

Forrester's Bar and Grill - Side eggs and sausage, pumpkin crepes special - New American Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

My first visit was surprisingly excellent. The prime rib was tasty and perfectly cooked and the service impeccable. Second visit I was given the wrong order then waited for my ribeye to be cooked while my family ate. Then my steak got to me as they finished eating and it was cold and raw on the inside. I like rare but it was inedible. I took it to go and finished cooking it at home. Totally defeating the purpose of going out to eat. My grandson ordered a burger. It was dry and his fries were like warm. read more

We will not return. It was Saturday morning after a U of O game and very busy. The servers were unable to keep up and we waited nearly 40 minutes for our meal. The food was lower than average. The Caesar Salad had so much dressing, it rendered it soggy. They ran out of noodles for their chicken noodle soup and offered chicken broth as a substitute.The Reuben sandwich was good but the coleslaw was mayonnaisey, which I asked about in advance and was told it wasnt. read more

The first time we went to Forrester's Bar & Grill, my wife wanted a salad for lunch, and her hair stylist recommended Forrester's. She was not disappointed. Our server, Brittney was friendly and helped us feel very comfortable. We got refills on our drinks without asking and the food was excellent. We enjoyed it so much we decided to try dinner. We invited our daughter to join us and we met at Forrester's. Again, service was great! The hostess, Haley was awesome! She seemed like a seasoned veteran, and I was surprised later on to find out it was her first night of being a Hostess! Our server was Kendall, and he was outgoing and on top of his game. We had prime rib that night and it was very good! We all enjoyed our meals very much! We will be back! read more

We came back today so we could try out a few other menu items and we were not disappointed! We were greeted promptly and were seated at a table, drinks orders were taken immediately. I couldn't resist those breaded calamari sticks, they are actually tender, not chewy. In addition we also tried the chicken strip appetizer. The breading on these was not spicy at all, allowing for the flavor of the juicy and tender chicken to come through. It had a very satisfying crunch as well and came with ranch and barbecue dipping sauces. The Classic Fettuccine Alfredo with Chicken came with thick sliced toasted and buttered garlic bread. It also came with grilled chicken and was topped with pasta that was cooked to a perfect texture and a sauce that was smooth and had a very good flavor and consistency. We also had the Southwest Chopped Chicken Salad. The veggies were crisp and fresh and came with chicken that was well seasoned and sliced into bite size pieces I opted for the Western Barbecue Cheeseburger with fries. The burger was cooked to order and came on a brioche bun with a side of fresh cut lettuce,onion and tomato. The fries were fresh hot and crispy! We found the overall service to be very friendly and prompt and the food presentation was outstanding. With breakfast served all day AND an outstanding dinner menu, I'll have to make at least two more trips to cover the bases here. Good service, good food and the many TVs were showing multiple sports stations. read more
