What a great place to bring the kids AND have a healthy dinner with yummy local microbrews. The kids love playing with the dinosaurs. It's noisy enough that kid noise isn't a distraction. I have tried many of the burritos, bowls, salads, and quesedillas. I like the Che Guavera burrito and the grilled chicken is a stand-by. I always feel good after eating here. At some burrito joints, I feel like I've eaten a brick that sticks with me for an uncomfortable amount of time. Not at LP. The staff is very helpful and they have quite an efficient operation. I'm also amazed that my family can eat here and have a couple of beers for around $22. Since the food is fresh and healthy, it can be a little bland at times. It's still hearty and fulfilling. Great job LP! read more

Wow, food you can feel great about eating! I had the veggie burrito which was full of flavor, it had just about every vegetable I could think of. The mild salsa was a tad bland, maybe next time i'll try the spicy one. I am going to order something different next visit because everyones food looked so delicious! A menu I can venture out in, I like that. My only down side with this place would be the atmosphere, it was all open seating and super crowded! But I guess that's just what happens when you serve great, healthy food! read more

I love this place. Great ingredients, feels like healthy wholesome food. Friendly staff, quick service, nice environment. Fair prices. Pretty much checks all the boxes, which explains why I come 2-3 times a week. Ordering through the app is very convenient too. read more

Food was amazingly fresh and good. Loved the atmosphere (you have to love a place that has a Velvet Frank Zappa painting on the wall). read more

Laughing Planet - Salad Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

I had the pleasure of dining here while in town visiting my daughter. Laughing Planet is one of her faves. She had the Sumac Salad which was bursting with flavors. I had the pork tacos which was so, so delicious! We went during Happy Hour so it was an extra bonus to get $3 tacos. Will definitely plan on returning on future visits! read more

I think the concept is great we need more healthy focus places in town. The execution to it I think is not the best it sounds very good and yummy but then it's disappointing, I've tried several times and it's always the same for me, service is always friendly and nice. read more

This place is an organic place. I had the chicken quesadillas n it was good. Good service good organic food. Nice place to hang out and eat. The food wasn't pricey. Just average read more

Laughing Planet - Bollywood Bowl - Salad Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

Pretty good food, served quickly. I had a vegan burrito, and I would recommend adding the vegan cheese. The flavors were nice, but seemed oddly distributed throughout the burrito, more so than other burritos, which made the experience uneven, but good. Also? The vegan lemon sugar cookie is delightful, and most of the cookies they serve are vegan. read more

i've never written a review before in my entire life but i've feeling compelled to write one all day. i am not the kind of person to ever complain either but i've never been so disappointed before and shocked how they allowed my food to be served the way it was. i get laughing plant every so often and i'm always completely satisfied i usually loveeee their food. but today i ordered the mushroom tacos, i added vegan chz. it had maybe about 5-6 tiny pieces on it(1st red flag). then went to take a bite, it was on a tostada like hard shell and it was so stale i legitimately couldn't even rip a bite off. (2nd red flag) i literally tried to eat it and i no lie could not. ( i'd eat stale chips any day but this was actually concerning) also ordered the kale salad and it comes with chick peas which i normally love but at fist glance in noticed 5 chick peas... just 5!! (3rd red flag) my first bite i could tell the kale wasn't washed it tasted dirty and i love this salad normally (4th red flag) and in the same bite the chick pea was so stale and hard it took one of my fillings off of my tooth. read more

I'm fairly new in town and not really used to vegan/vegetarian restaurants and I have to say that for my first time being in one of these restaurants, the food was great. The customer service was also really great too. The employees were really friendly and helpful. I definitely recommend Laughing Planet. read more

I love the plentiful vegan options here, especially the Cuban Bowl (with added tempeh), Highway to Kale Salad (without the queso fresco), and seasonal and weekly specials. While they don't offer vegan cheese as an option, I do appreciate that they will deduct .50 from the price of your meal if you ask to leave off the dairy cheese. read more

Have gone to laughing planet. Love it. This time I ordered to go and was sad to see they didn't add enough rice in my Thai Bowl.

Would give 10 stars if I could. Moved away from Eugene a year ago and have thought about the Highway To Kale salad every day since. Laughing Planet was my go-to in college. Everything on the menu is a good pick. Chips & guac, quesadilla, Bubba Burrito, Bollywood Bowl.... Please open a San Francisco location! read more

Loved it! Healthy, fresh, kid friendly, yummmmmmmy burritos! Not really Mexican, but who cares?! My vegetarian hubby and I AND my picky 2 year old feasted comfortably. For once a place made us all content and full! Healthy burritos quick! Yay! The dinos were fun to play with too :) read more

Saturday lunch at LP was great. I ordered a veggie burrito with the hot sauce and a berry smoothie. Service was friendly and efficient. The veggie burrito had a liberal amount of tasty melted cheese and lots of chunks of fresh vegetable- favourite bit was the cauliflower. It was medium sized and filling. But boy was that little container of sauce HOT. It in walking distance if the Eugene Whitaker Hostel if you are staying that way. read more

Good food, good atmosphere, very "green". I got the special, which was just so-so. Boyfriend got the "Thai me up", that was pretty good. Just to show you how "green" they are, when we told them that we wanted our burritos to go, they asked if we wanted a bag. I told them no, and then thanked them for asking. They thanked ME to not taking a bag! haha... I loved that The best thing about it was that I felt pretty healthy after eating there! read more

If you are looking for a great burrito the Pork Verde is the bees knees! Their Habaneros hot sauce is amazing! OMGoodness I can't say enough good things about Laughing Planets food and drinks!! Love love love them!! read more

I like Laughing Planet, I really do. This location has the friendliest employees and I always find myself laughing and conversing with the people at the counter. I have come to find out this location serves margaritas now! I will definitely be giving those a try soon. I really appreciate their food options for those with dietary restrictions and those who are just looking for a healthy meal when they want or have to eat out. Let's face it, life can get crazy and sometimes we don't have time to cook or make our lunches but we don't want to eat fast food or pre packaged grocery store food. In those cases I recommend Laughing Planet. They have monthly and seasonal specials that are usually delicious and you can make alterations to your meal if you'd like. This location has a cute little outdoor area to eat at or you can enjoy their air conditioned dining room. Food come out super fast, even when they are busy and you can call ahead to order to go if you're in a hurry. I really like their veggie bowls but I always feel like there's a little something missing. Sometimes it's seasoning and sometimes I feel like certain things seem a little boring. I do appreciate fresh, simple ingredients but I don't know what it is. Also, the prices get a little steep here. You can easily spend $13-$15 a person if you opt for chips and a drink or if you add things to your meal. I wish I could eat here more often and would if it was a little cheaper. I have to say those vegan cookies are divine and I really like their iced hibiscus tea on a hot day. read more

Passing through and always love healthy food options. Had to try this spot and frankly my lady and I ordered I think 4 items and two juices. Of the 4 items we selected, the Tempeh Roll really was impressive but that's not to say the Vegan Tofu Bowl wasn't too... and the Crunchero, ditto. The Tempeh Roll is basically one big burrito and it was SUPERB. We got the mushroom tacos which were good as well but the 3 other items really were stand out/impressive 100%. We both agreed that we were happy we didn't live in Eugene otherwise we'd have to somehow become partners with Laughing Planet in order to be able to afford our new found addiction, their food! Alas, the juices were good as well. Saw that they have locations in many cities including Reno NV. Thought that was very neat and we're wishing this foodie spot would be a huge chain, bigger than McD's and the Taco Bell's of the world. The planet and people need it. KEEP GOING LAUGHING PLANET TEAM! My lady said she wanted to go up to the door and yell, "THAT WAS SO DANG GOOD!!! THANK YOU!!!" So since we didn't do that, ya'll know.. top 2 or 43 spot anywhere they are! PERIOD. LOVE THE FOOD! Service was friendly and quick too. read more

They have such a wide variety of healthy food! Really yummy, and lots of options for any dietary restrictions. The oatmeal chocolate chip cookies are bomb, and I love the spankys bowl. I one time found a bug in my take out, but they responded to my concerns. Bug n all, still love this place. read more

This place is the place you want to go to if you are a healthy eater, vegan/vegetarian or love a good bowl/burrito. Its definitely like chipotle in the sense of concept in food but an upgrade. They have top of the line flavorful dishes & doesnt feel overwhelming gross full when you are done. They also make fresh water drinks. This is a feel good type of meal. read more

This is a spot where I can love the food and where I can hate the food, but where I will keep coming back. The restaurant itself is great, plenty of character and interest with nice outdoor seating areas (perfect for the dog owner/sun lover). The staff is great, very nice and helpful with making recommendations. My advice here is to search the menu for a dish you can dig, because there seem to be some items that are spot-on each and every time and others that just don't do much for me. I typically order the special burrito, which is usually ethnically inspired and featuring seasonal ingredients, and I am always happy with it. Another favorite is the Che Guevara bowl/burrito and the Soylent Green bowl, they always hit the spot. The food menu is buffered by a great juice/smoothie menu, always scrumptious and refreshing. Favorites include the PB & J smoothie and the ginger, apple, carrot juice. The word around town is that Laughing Planet is opening a new location at PRI's old venue, 13th and Lawrence - i'm very much looking forward to this, hopefully some new burrito/bowls will come about as i'm always wanting to try a new veggie combination. Also, it is worth noting that while most of their burritos include cheese, Laughing Planet currently offers 2 vegan cheez alternatives. read more

A bit pricey, but damn good burritos and other veggie options. Staff is always friendly. The hempseed cookie is awsome!! Great Idea for a franchise. read more

When I lived downtown I used to frequent this place because it was in my back yard. This is the place for vegetarian foods- but they have meat too. The burritos are so good, but my favorite is the mashed potato bowl with broccoli and melted cheese. I can't recall the name of it, but it is the ultimate comfort-style food! They have fun little dinosaurs, different options for drinks than sprite or cola and it's always friendly and tidy. The salads are great too. Parents can definitely bring your kids here. read more

First Eliza is the best friendliest manager ever This is definitely a special place and love the way every time I go in my old favorite dishes are there and alway something special just had a salad with fresh salad green, corn, black beans and a bunch of yummy stuff in in as well extra warm tender chicken on top A really casual and fun place to stay and eat And I got two really big chocolate cookies fresh to go 3 years I've been to the Willamette , Blair st and in Corvallis stores read more

UH. MAY. ZING. i moved to corvallis from eugene a little over a year ago and i think i miss this place more than some of my friends. read more

The food is a bit odd and unique but it sure does taste good. For me being a college girl it sure is a good price too. What is up with the plastic toys everywhere? I got a Chairman rice bowl and had leftovers for my next meal. read more

Sometimes I'm too tired to cook, and Laughing Planet has always been there. I visit this restaurant at least once a week. Seasonal specials keep the menu fresh, and there is always something for any mood that I'm in. The Che Guevarra burrito is awesome, and the Paleo Plate is my boyfriend's favorite. Laughing Planet also have tons of local brews for reasonable prices. So, you can make this a great place to take a date before a concert at the Wow Hall or Sam Bond's (practically across the street). The thing I like best about this place, is that the food is healthy, and I feel light and energetic at the end of the meal. read more

I absolutely love and appreciate the HIghway to Kale Salad (I get it without cheese.)! It has a rainbow of colors, with diverse veggies, and a cruncy topping of roasted pepitas, which are just lovely! I order this with one of their fresh juiced vegetables juices. For dessert, I sometimes get a side of the plantains which are naturally sweet and totally delightful! I have also added this site to my blog, with an ongoing list of Allergen-Friendly Restaurants in Eugene, OR, which promotes small well-loved restaurants in the Northwest, Oregon, Eugene, or in Lane County, complete with my personal review, recommendations, and links.

I just moved to Eugene and I LOVE this place. I've gone twice now, and both times were spectacular. You can definitely bet I'll be going back again and again :) read more

Excellent home grown food. Good people. Everytime we come to Eugene we eat here. I didn't give it 5 stars because it is noisy. You can hear the kitchen while eating and if there are wild kids running around it can become a nightmare. But the food is great, the help is wonderfull. Pick out your food and they bring it to you! Yummm read more

Worst quesadilla I've ever had. Generally, they have good food, but that was burnt. They forgot to put it on a wheat tortilla. They forgot the onions and tomatoes. They burnt the chicken and the tortilla and put almost no cheese. I was going to share it with my son but all I could taste was burnt. I got back from an appointment and showed up at 12:30 on a Monday. Maybe don't go there on a Monday when they're busy? read more

One of my favorite restaurants in Eugene! Good food, good options, fun atmosphere. Pleasant staff. Good prices. Staff don't act entitled to tips. I never came up with anything not to like about Laughing Planet. I just wish there was one in Springfield. read more

The paleo bowl we had wasn't even room temperature... and it was a long wait which would make me expect hot food. Quite the opposite. It was just ok, maybe the temperature. I just hate food that's not hot. Needless to say not a laughing planet, more like yacking planet. Plus not kid friendly. The framed cartoons on the wall depicted people literally having sex. My four year old asked "What is that?" I'm not ready to have that conversation with her yet. Not going back there. read more

i love supporting this place. one, the food is awesome and a wonderful place for vegans. any frustrations i have of high prices are generally quickly quieted by the politics of this place. From what I can tell employees are taken care of through wage and benefits and I like giving my business to such a company. my favorite vegan treats are the Soylent Green with tahini sauce and the southwestern green chili burrito (not default vegan so get without the cheese). They do have vegan cheese and sour cream. the pbj smoothie might be the greatest thing ever. And the cookies. I'm in love with the snickerdoodles. I think all their cookies are vegan, but it will be no prob to check as things are labeled wonderfully. yay! I'm now infatuated with the hemp seed hazel nut cookies. wow. read more

This is not a two-star restaurant. I've been a regular at this location since before I moved to Eugene, and during the year and a half that I've lived in Eugene. I love Laughing Planet. So why the two stars? There's been a change of management. This is code in the business for "this joint will start to suck more", which is exactly what has happened. When I first started eating at Laughing Planet, I was struck by the funky, goofy, relaxed vibe of the place. The people working there were cheerful, helpful and content - that last word is the key here: they were happy with their jobs. Over time I got to know many of them, and they were all fine human beings who I looked forward to seeing whenever I went in there. Also, and nontrivially, they were experienced workers who did their jobs efficiently while still keeping up the banter. Over the course of the last two months or so, almost the entire counter staff has changed at this location. There have been rumors, firings, and a wave of resignations. The folks who have popped up to replace them are obviously undertrained (not their fault), and things are pretty haywire. Service takes about twice as long on average, and I've had plenty of occasions where I need to follow up on an order to make sure I get it. This isn't a crazy busy place and the food isn't complicated - it's just more poorly staffed now. Obviously, something pretty lame has happened upstairs. Shame on the Laughing Planet management for pulling such an awful move. You've really hurt this location. With Falling Sky moving in next door, you better hope they don't try too hard to compete with your business, or I fear you'll be toast. What a sad story. read more

Thank you for feeding children who need lunch assistance while school is out. I'd give you 10 stars if I could.

The food was so yummy! It tasted home made. It was the perfect stop on our road trip because the service was super quick and the food was filling but not heavy. They even had toys for the kids to play with and gluten-free and dairy-free options clearly marked. read more
