The Big Sam chicken fried steak
Tina Q.

Omelette was great hash browns always crispy I've said before decor is cool and service was great We will be back

Bill D.

Great Club Sandwiches and Arnold Palmers. Service fast and friendly and establishment was very clean. Worth the stop when in the area.

Clam chowder
Connor E.

I came in here for their Friday clam chowder special. It was pretty good to be at a bar. I would recommend it to someone looking for a deal. The service was great, nice and very helpful. They did a remodel inside which looks really nice and definitely looks better than it used to.

Sams burger & fries, side salad with ranch, strawberry lemonade, beer, and tacos !

At this point with all my reviews if you haven't come into Sam's for their food you are missing out!! Ordered fingers steaks, with 2 sides- salad & fries. And a crispy chicken wrap with pepper Jack cheese & fries. Delicious. Always great food. Filling and full of flavor and fresh ingredients. Service was good today. Our server was so kind and personable it was nice! Enjoy this spot a lot. For drinks and/ or a meal. Can't go wrong.

That is what I ordered!!

I flew to Eugene for the weekend to attend Colorado-Oregon game. My cousin took me to this excellent place to hang out. It sure has its touch on its best BBQ type Dives. The server has done her job!! I had this amazing prime ribs. Of course it was smoked flavor. I ended up couldn't eat it all. It was twice its size than what my tummy could take. Sorry guys I had to take what's left in a box and ate it for breakfast next day!! It still has smoked tastes left in it. lol!! Anyone visiting Eugene, Oregon. Be sure to stop by and take chance for their Smoked flavored ones!!

"Sam's Jackets"

I've been coming here for years. Since Jim sold earlier this year, Sam's has made a complete dive to the bottom. Recently, I got the French dip, and it was 1/3 of the portion. Today, I got the Sal Jackets, and again 1/3 of the size and portion they used to be. Both items at a greatly decreased size, and increased price. The size of the jackets are the size of a large oyster.Unfortunately, I have to find a new place to call home for Oregon and NFL games. So disappointing.

I was so hungry I forgot to get a picture of the food. But here is their coffee and mimosa at least!

See all

With that meal you will experience actual satisfaction and contentment. That's the first thing I have to say in case you're reading for a recommendation of what to order. Even better if you have it late night after experiencing the best Handel's Messiah concert at the Hult in December. I had a small slider of corned beef along with his amazing fresh Kale salad garnish with shaved Parmesan, walnuts, added protein -- sausage. It came with a toasted slice of soda bread that was great. But the slider was how I realized the corned beef was PERFECTLY prepared. A taste was not enough; I decided to get the dinner plate version to take the next day up to Seattle with me. Fantastic staff included Barkeep Illyia, whose birthday it was. She kept up a steady stream of attentive care, skillful service, friendly banter with each of the clients that came in and said good by to them as they left. Hospitality was her middle name. Love that they have mugs for the regulars hanging from the ceilings, the bar space is great but so are the arm chairs and cushioned seats in the corners of the pub. I even ran into two other concertgoers who had also been so energized after the Messiah concert that they didn't want to go home. We spent a half hour at the bar unpacking the highs and best points of the performance by the Eugene Symphony Orchestra, and the symphony choir, and each of the soloists. We also unanimously agreed the tenor was fantastic, the baritone a paragon of artistic talent, the soprano sang incandescently, and that the final AMEN movement was soul healing and mind blowing simultaneously. Yeah. It was that good. This place was the right place to come to unpack it all over a Guinness and the best corned beef and cabbage in town. Love that it was open late enough to enjoy after the concert. Will be back.

You can go wrong at this little Irish pub. It's got dim lighting, two bars, great service and…read moreamazing food. I wanted to get some corned beef so I stopped in. It was thick slab corned beef, perfectly tender. I also got their pretzel with the beer cheese sauce. To be honest, the beer cheese wasn't my favorite...was a little gooopy and the texture wasn't great. But, the pretzel was fantastic. It has the salt, the chew, and it was a great size. I also got their colcannon. It was great! Creamy and delicious. I ordered their brown gravy too because I like gravy with my potatoes and it was hearty and a big side for the price. All in all, i definitely recommend the pint pot!

Big City Gaming and Home Team Kitchen- 4 stars…read more Big City Gaming is a Sports Bar in Eugene. I went here on the 4th of July which is hella less annoying than 4th of July in the Mission in SF aka my hood. So my beloved Lotus Garden aka vegan Chinese food that is fab that I would frequent in the day when in lived in Eugene was closed on the 4th despite their website saying they were open and walked there to find out they only are currently doing take out. Damn like Kendrick Lamar So I walk back to Big City Gaming and the friendly bartender tells me that they have an all vegetarian menu even though it isn't pure veg aka they have non veg too. It's all good baby, baby. I am starving after walking heaps in the hard sun like Eddie Vedder. So I get some water and check out the all veg menu. Upon the bartender's suggestion I go with the jackfruit tacos. They were quite alright aka two corn tortillas filled with generous portions of fajita style grilled jackfruit, topped with cabbage, pico de gallo and our signature avocado crema sauce sprinkled with queso fresco. I decided to add vegan crema and non-dairy cheese for a buck. It hit the spot. I did feel like a fish out of water with all the screens showing baseball as basketball is my jam. I am a huge Warriors fan and sad we lost Donte yet he is going to the Knicks. Cool atmosphere with screens for sports and games such as shooting basketballs in the hoop etc. Recommended for sports night!

You can watch the latest sporting events, drink and beer and they are cool with you smoking cigars…read morein the patio. I really enjoyed my time here.

We initially planned to go to Level Up but they were closed for a private event so we went here instead. The TVs were all showing the same UFC fight but it kept us entertained during lulls in the conversation. The bartender was nice and got our drinks to us quickly. The place was clean and wasn't too loud even though there were some other people there drinking and talking too. The drinks were good but we didn't get any food so I can't speak to that at all. There are two bathrooms so there can be a line when there are a lot of people, so time your trip wisely. There's no parking lot since it's downtown, but there's a decent amount of street parking. There's also a paid lot a block east of the bar, it's a 24/7 paid lot so there are probably better options that are free after a certain time. While we didn't plan to go here initially, I'm glad we did. It felt like a safe space for myself and my queer friends and we genuinely had a good time.

It's also an awesome place to watch sports!!! Football watch parties every Duck game make it even better. There's always good energy without feeling hectic. But honestly, the best part of Sunriver Brewing is the people. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and impressively fast. Whether you're grabbing a quick bite or settling in for a game, they make the whole experience feel easy and welcoming. I eat here about 1-2 times per week, since it's become my local spot. Highly recommend for good food, good beer, and great vibes. The rotating beers always keep it fresh, and they do good seasonals like any brewery worth checking out. Would like to see more dark beers, but they always have good pale and ipas for casual beer sipping. They make excellent cocktails as well, so not just a spot for beer!

It's a pub/restaurant with a fresh, inviting space that includes a full service bar and a very friendly staff. Sitting at the bar stools is always a favorite vibe of ours. After getting our drinks ,I ordered the Pastrami melt. It's more like a Ruben and I paired it with the soup of the day, OMG! Always check out the soup...incredible! My wife had the Falafel burger. Yum was all she said between bites. We were very impressed with the food. The beer I selected was just what the doctor (J) ordered. I simply love a WC IPA! I picked up a six-pack on the way out;) Oh and I believe they have a back section for parties or overflow. You really can't ask for more. FYI, road trip adventures:)
