Got their Thanksgiving takeout meals. We did both the prime rib and the turkey and both meals were delicious! I was super impressed and sure hope they offer this next Thanksgiving. read more

Forrester's Bar and Grill - Thanksgiving Takeout Meal, so good!!!! - New American Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

If you are looking for a place to relax and have good food this is the place. I had the open face turkey sandwich with mash potatoes and gravy with cranberry sauce on the side. Delicious! My wife had the lemon blueberry crepes with whip cream, ham and scrambled eggs. She offered me a crepe and I jumped on it. Very tasty. See ya! read more

Was a disappointing experience. Two of our party ordered eggs Benedict and this was first time we each got 1/2 muffin instead of normal two halves. Was not special at all. Hollandaise tasted just like knor packaged. The eggs poached well. Muffin completely wet. Should have dried bottom of egg w paper towel before setting on base. Each half serving was almost $18. If it had been done well, I wouldn't be so surprised at price. Gotten better at Shari's, IHop, pancake house for 1/3rd less money. Went in. Thursday so wasn't a brunch rush. Very nice server who struggled with the bill. Separate checks, but one person was charged for multiple meals , another not charged at all. Very chaotic. She was apologetic but the last 20 minutes of our visit was chaotic with the billing errors and needed corrections. I would not go back again as hope it was a little bit more high end and quality than other breakfast places. It was less. read more

Lunch was delicious, and the food was reasonably priced. Service could've been more attentive and quicker. I enjoyed my chicken fried steak; it was solid. The batter held well, while the meat was tender and flavorful. read more

Food was very delicious had a fish basket and a shrimp basket came with eight huge butterfly shrimp three big pieces of cod the fries were the greatest but they also weren't the worst the tater tots were very delicious though the tartar sauce was delicious the ranch was great overall really good food would definitely recommend it read more

less than impressive flavor with a grilled cheese disguised as any other sandwich. the warm beer really helps the over priced food go down.

My Red Hat group had lunch here yesterday, and it was delicious! My chicken salad was to die for, another had a chicken wrap, patty melt, burger minus the bun, everyone was delighted with the food. Service was excellent and the atmosphere was great. Needless to say, we will be back. Queen of the Eugene Sweethearts. read more

I have been three times over the past couple of years and I do not plan on returning. I expect longer wait times anymore and am fine with that but the times seem longer here. Even a quick check in and update now and then would be good. It can make a huge difference in the customer experience. Food wise, it's fine but nothing remarkable. The food tastes like much if it comes from a can. Recently. my friend and I went for brunch and she got potatoes that looked and tasted like they had been cooked a day or two ago and reheated. The decor updates are nice and it's definitely looking nicer inside. read more

Food is good, covid safety not so great. It was a couple days before the mask mandate was officially in place, but no servers were wearing any. We all knew it was coming, it seemed weird to me and a bit unsafe. People were seated close. Food was fine. Service was fair. Decor was not that interesting. TVS were on - is it a sports bar? I don't know. read more

If you're looking for the WORST cup of coffee in town, then Forrester's bar and grill is the place is for you. Never in my life have I had such a watered down excuse of coffee in my life. How do you mess up black coffee? Ordered the eggs bennedict and received basically a bowl of hollandaise soup. The server also made several comments about how she kept forgetting about us. Not a good feeling. Xoxo gals read more

Came back ( a couple weeks ago now) to give this place another try after enjoying it the first. Waited a minute at the front host station to be helped. Seemed as though they were zinging by and rushing. Was offered a bar table. With 5 people it was too tight so we switched to a larger table once one became available. I requested a strawberry flavored rum drink, bartender to make something sweet & tasty. Took a while and when it came out I received a glass of rum with sliced strawberries! I took one sip and had to send it back. It was straight rum!! Woah ! Too strong for a casual dinner drink. Our table received drinks at different times and one person had to go remind them of his order.. still took a while. The place wasn't crazy busy but the waiters seemed very overwhelmed. We ordered our food and it took quite some time to receive that as well. Thankfully my salad came out to hold me over, but that still took some time.. finally we all got our food and the restaurant was clearing out. We had arrive probably 630pm and didn't end up getting out of there til 5 mins before closing! Not sure why so slow this time. Our food was worth the wait. My food was good, but I felt the portion of chicken was rather small for the price. My sister in law got Alfredo and said it didn't have much flavor at all and she didn't enjoy it. Sounded like the burger was good. Mashed potatoes and gravy was good and the veggies were perfectly cooked and seasoned! I know the time were in service can be a bit busy and hard lately so I'm not upset with the super slow service because we had company to chat with, but overall it was a rather long wait and a bit frustrating having to wait so long even for drinks. Running out of waters with no refills, drink orders taking forever, food coming out slowly. I do love the large menu, but maybe it's a bit overwhelming for the staff and cooks to have such a variety to keep up and get it out the door. I'd be willing to come back of course and try again! I know busy nights happen and not blaming anyone for that. read more

We had a company breakfast here a couple months ago and it was excellent. Clean fast and delicious. My lady and I had dinner here last night. Her panini was perfect. My pepper jack chicken breast was one of the best, if not the best chicken meal I've ever had. read more

We decided to try this place on Father's Day. We almost decided not to because there were so many people waiting outside, and it was already turning out to be a warm day. The wait ended up not being too bad, we had a choice of waiting 15-20 minutes, or we could dine in the bar right away. We decided on the bar. I kind of wish we had not...only because the bar stools are not the most comfortable to sit on. (Remember this bum has been broken) The server was very attentive, fast, and friendly. The menu has quite a bit to chose from, in the Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner. I am most impressed with the breakfast menu. I love it when I see crepes on a menu. It makes my heart just flutter. I ended up ordering the crepes plain, because that is how I do. With syrup of course, and bacon, and scrambled eggs. The eggs were nice and fluffy, and the crepes were nice, and perfectly thin. My guy had one of the omelets...I can't remember which one. I know it had quite a few things in it, such as hash browns. I want to say it was called the farmers omelet. I could be wrong. He ordered a Bloody Mary, and afterward we see this beautiful Bloody Mary go by with a chicken wing, and a few other things on it. I wish we would have known about that one before he ordered his regular Bloody Mary. The other one was a Father's Day special. Well he is a father too, so would have been nice to have been told about the special. Not making a huge deal, because everything about this place was fantastic, food, service, and ambiance. Really looking forward to trying other menu items. I was too hungry to snap pics. I am terribly sorry. I hope to next time. read more

The sevice was lagging..server never checked to see how we we're doing or tell us our entrée would be 40 minutes after our cup of corn chowder which was delicious...the only highlight...my chops were dry and cold as were my potatoes and vegetables...they did however comp my meal...my wife salmon though was very good..and the server's were very courteous Even though obviously understaffed for a holiday weekend..I may try again but that remains to be seen.. read more

Forrester's Bar and Grill - What i didn't eat..cold food..dry pork chops..terrible sevice - New American Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

This restaurant is excellent! I've had breakfast, lunch and dinner and every meal is awesome! I love their scrambles for breakfast and I recently had their salmon with a blueberry glaze over rice and fresh spinach... The best! The salmon was fresh and prepared perfectly. Give them a try, you won't be sorry oh and by the way, they're bloody. Mary's are off the chain read more

Like any new restaurant they have some kinks to iron out, mainly front of house issues. When entering there is an open feel to this place, unlike many other bar and grills that feel claustrophobic. My crew of six plus a toddler had a rather long wait for the waitresses to clear a six top for us. Our orders where taken promptly. After our order was placed, it was 15 mins before we got our drinks, mostly Mimosas and one Spritzer (which I'm told was fantastic.) Water to the table was an afterthought when we realized all we had was booze to quench our thirst, which of course led to drinking the first round faster then I should have. This buzz how ever did stimulate my appetite, and boy was that necessary. The amount of time it took to get our food was the longest wait we had, but damn its worth it. The food here is a shining b(e)acon of hope and what saved me from giving them a less then desirable 3 star review. I don't know if it was the food or the booze that made it taste so fantastic, but it was excellent. I ordered a Brisket Burger with fries, while most the table got a Skillet platter, and one Eggs Benedict (nerd). I ravaged my burger like a Mormon on their wedding night, I didn't know what to do with myself. I was taken aback by the beautiful specimen of food presented to me. That patty perfectly cooked to medium perfection, and the brisket moist and supple. In fact it was so good I forced it upon my table mates who enthusiastically took a break from there plates to smashed this little meat treat down there gullets. The rest of the tables food looked equally impressive, having tried my wife's skillet I can happily say they might be in the running for best hash-browns in town, and the gravy was phe(nom)enal. Over medium eggs perfectly cooked with zero runny whites. The weakest link was the sausage (punintended.) In all seriousness once the weight wait staff irons out their flow. I can see this place being a powerhouse brunch spot in West Eugene. They bring fresh food to a public thats been cooped up for the last year, the people want to spread their wings and this os the type of place we are looking to land in. read more

Boy am I glad I happened by this gem. The restaurant is tucked behind a well known chain restaurant but it stands head and shoulders above that chain with the quality of food they serve. My friends couldnt stop raving about the southwestern prime sandwich and the prime beef dip. And thier sweet potato fries are some of the best Ive had. I had the asian chicken salad and it was great. A nice bed of mixed greens, not just iceberg or romaine. The chicken was moist and made for a very enjoyable salad. They also serve breakfast all day here. I have not had a chance to try breakfast but I did look at the menu. The menu had lots of tempting items so I will be back to give it a try. Another feather in the forresters cap is minors are allowed to eat there as well. The menu will have something for everyone that is sure to put a smile on thier faces. All in all I would definately pass by that chain restaurant for The Forrester behind it. Definately worth a visit, and dont be surprised if it becomesio your new favorite restaurant. read more

I heard about this place from a Yelp suggestion, so did bit of research, read a few reviews and was excited to give it a try. Walked in and looked around, it wasn't very busy so I was able to take my time and looked it over. First observation was it was nice and clean with the floor all swept up and the tables bused and wiped down, the bar was nice and well organized, but the overall decor of the place was rather dreary. They had some music going but it was for the kitchen help rather than us customers. The service was ok but nothing special. I ordered the Avocado Chicken Wrap which ok but a little on the bland side and the fries were coated. I would rather have uncoated fries but these will do. The bathroom was clean, swept up and well stocked. After all was said and done I decided that this was not a place that I would not want to hang out at all. read more

Fantastic option in West Eugene! I have been to Forrester's twice already. The menu is diverse, with something for everyone. The Avocado Pepper Jack Chicken was a hit at our table, as was the Bistro Burger Fire and Hickory Brisket & Bacon Burger. The service was great, attentive but not overbearing. All of our requests were met with a can do attitude. I was hoping for a better beer selection, but hopefully that's something they can work on. There were a few good local options on tap. Also, my daughter enjoys a root beer with her meal, and this wasn't an option. I can't imagine with their focus on service that these small issues can't be overcome. Looking forward to trying their breakfast menu and adding more positive vibes to this review. read more

We've been to this and their Cottage Grove locations. We are simply delighted. Been there for B, L and D over the years. Consistently perfect food to our weird preferences done right every time. Good product, not chintzy on price nor size. Servers know their stuff. So glad to go any time. read more

The lemon strawberry pancakes were delicious, the offer and smaller portions menu which we were big fans of, the staff was incredibly friendly! read more

Best avocado toast in town. Everytime I've been, clean, speedy service and really solid avocado toast.

Yummy. I had the fried artichoke chicken panini substitute the focaccia for sourdough. It was amazing. Who would've have thought fried articles hearts would taste good with a grilled chicken breast as a sandwich. Definitely recommend this place! read more

Long wait, rude service, pre-made microwaved food. My $14 "open-faced turkey sandwich" was cold shredded deli meat set on cold quartered Wonderbread topped with canned gravy. I had one bite, realized it was garbage and didn't touch the rest... server never asked if there was a problem with the meal, just low-key rudely asked if I was "done yet." Chicken strips were frozen, deep-fried food service chicken, which hasn't always been the case here. Family's hamburgers were a little better, but definitely not worth the money. Such a bummer--we've been here a couple of times and were truly rooting for this place. I get that times are tough for restaurants right now, but money's tight for families, too. Won't be wasting any more of it here. read more

Finally West Eugene has a decent restaurant! Best burger in Eugene, better than Cornucopia. The quality of the beef, the char, and the accompanying fresh ingredients turns a basic bacon cheeseburger into an incredible meal. They batter their fries, which is always my favorite. I appreciate how consistently good their food is. I have never been disappointed whereas cornucopia, who makes a good burger, is hit or miss. The service at Forrester's is also great. It's unpretentious, friendly, and surprisingly affordable considering how far above most Eugene eateries it is. No snobbery, just high quality food. My son is also a fan of their giant bear pancake. If you like cornucopia burgers or if you just want a new place for good American food, try Forrester's. read more

The food is good and the lemon drop is yummy. Service can be hit and miss but the food is always good.

Delicious food, great service. My wife and I moved to Eugene and have been less than impressed with food and service at local and chain restaurants here. Came here for breakfast and were impressed by the food and the service. After the 4th visit for dinner tonight, I'd say this is a solid choice for food and drinks. We'll be regulars. read more

The food was absolutely amazing and the service was fabulous! The servers were very attentive even with around 30 of us in attendance! I will definitely return! Great job!!!! read more

Happy to be able to update this review based on the last several times we visited. Service has been great, and the food has been excellent. Everything has been hot and delicious. The pikes place crab omelet is my favorite breakfast in town, even with the recent price increases I feel like it's worth it. They put plenty of delicious crab in it, and the hollandaise sauce is always tasty. Plus you can sub a pancake for the toast, and that orange buttermilk syrup is amazing. This is my go to breakfast/brunch place in town. read more

Loved this place! Went for breakfast and had the best avocado toast I've ever had! My husband loved his meal too! The orange buttermilk syrup was AMAZING! But the best part about the meal was our server Heather! Wow!! She is SO great at her job, excellent service!! A+++ read more

This fantastic restaurant has quickly become my breakfast go-to. I love their crepes, and their orange buttermilk syrup is salivatingly amazing!!!

Friendly waitresses fast service fantastic portion of ribs really excellent lathering of barbecue sauce which I love it was lonely because you know I'm a single gallon. It was lonely to be there by myself. The restaurant with a teeny bit cold for me but I'm gonna tell you what I got treated like an adult serve like an adult from start to finish and I thank you I definitely recommend this place for a nice full on American dinner and I was so happy with my mail and experience. Thank you so much Much. read more

We were visiting Eugene and happened upon this restaurant on accident. So glad we did! It was truly delicious. I was with a friend and we each had our teenage sons with us. All of us enjoyed our meal. Truly, we were knocked over with how good it was. And after the day we'd had, it was not our luck to find this jewel. We ended our day on a perfect note! read more
