I'm not sure that the funky decor, such as it is, is reminiscent of 70's Eugene. It's more like a dive bar with friendly service and a neighborhood vibe. Scribles absolutely does not qualify as a date night destination-- unless it's, say, your 25th date. Still, going with a compatible eater is a good idea because you'll likely be splitting one of their huge, delicious sandwiches. I've sampled four of them: pastrami, Philly, the Turn (akin to an Italian sub) and French dip. All were good enough to order again, which is an exceptional record. The ingredients are notably high-quality and the preparation solid-- even a bit creative. As a former Philadelphian, I'd modify the meat/cheese/onion proportions of the Philly, but this is nitpicking. Really, this place is a gem. read more

Love this place! I love when a restaurant tells you to slow down and not rush. You can tell the owner/chef loves his craft and makes each sandwich with love. The restaurant itself is cozy and quaint and service was excellent. It has a vibe that you are at grandma's house. They have a vegetarian option that is both unique and tasty! Their hoagie rolls are amazing. read more

The food is great, but... They stole about $12.00 from me. They double charged me, I didn't notice until I got home. Then they blew me off when I called them about it. After that, I decided it wasn't worth my time to pursue, but I won't go back though. read more

Sandwiches are huge!! And kind of hard to eat... but they are good! Loved the bread. We had to wait quite a long time to get our food. There weren't many people there but it looked like only 1 cook. I think the trick is to order ahead if you can! read more

Scribles Bistro & Deli - Toasted Italian (far) and club (close) - Delis Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

Let's address the elephant in the menu: $17 for a sandwich is a lot; and in 2025 it's close to 20 cans of corn but I get 3/4 a pound of meat on a darn good roll and each sandwich feels so simple while holding its place against a culinary masterpiece. I genuinely love this place. I've been over a handful of times and I cannot recommend it enough. It's cozy and it feels homey. The staff has always been wonderful every time no matter how busy or not. But you go for the sandwich and you ask for a box to take the other half. read more

Wow! I can't believe we had never been here. Always heard good things and came for the first time today, and wow! The sandwiches are incredible. The ambience is nice, a little hectic but it seemed like they were much busier than usual. My partner and I are never ones to have leftovers, but trust the other reviewers! You can absolutely share one we were stuffed after the first half. We will be back with friends! read more

Was staying nearby, walked over and got the Philly which was HUGE with tons of meat. Loved the bread and good quality meat with cheese. This ithe sandwich for meat lovers! The Hubbs loved it, I was missing the hot & sweat peppers. Small restaurant with outdoor seating when the weather is good and located in an older neighborhood from the 1930. Great neighborhood location where you can grab a drink some food and visit. read more

Wow! Hidden gem in Eugene. The place looked closed from the outside which I will attribute to the time of day and day of the week. The literal neighborhood bar, built in one of the older homes in an otherwise residential area. My nephew suggested this place recently and my husband and I were in town and decided to give them a try. I said the hubs as we were looking at the menu, "I feel like this might be the kind of place we should share a sandwich." To which he replied "I don't care, I'm ordering what I want" well okay then. So we did. Ordered a couple drinks, the jalapeño popper flat bread and the ham grinder and the club sandwich. The dude at the counter said he would bring us our drinks and told us there was seating out back if we wanted to sit outside. (You don't order at the table but at the bar and they bring you your stuff) The outdoor seating was pretty great really. A little oasis in the pit of Eugene (not a downtown fan), you could almost forget your in the middle of town. Quiet, a little water feature. It was nice. Let's talk about the food! The flatbread... I don't normally like jalapeño poppers but it looked so good I gave it a try. So Good! Ate three pieces. The sandos? Yep. Should have split them. The bread was so good, they were hot sandwiches and piled with groceries. I ate every bite of exactly one half a sandwich -- as did my husband. Decided I needed another beverage and went inside (tab was open) and the same guy explained that anything in the cooler (we were having an Avid Cider) we could just grab, he just needed to "pop the tab" - some might like this aspect, I thought it was great. We will definitely be back. There were other sandwiches and flatbreads we want to try. They were not cheap, but they gave you plenty of food. read more

Yelp to the rescue on our road trip. Stopped in Eugene for lunch and found Scribles. It's in a residential neighborhood and looks like a dive bar. It was busy when we arrived and there is a large menu of sandwiches salads and flatbreads to choose from. Both the Jeter sandwich, and the Cobb salad were good choices. The Jeter is a rarity, as it's so big I could only eat half. It's huge. Service was friendly and the place has a cool, laid back vibe. Worth a stop for lunch. read more

Sandwiches the size of a newborn baby, really delicious food, and a small town pub feel. There's a bit of a wait even when they're not busy because they make everything to order, but you'll need to be hungry anyway to even attempt these sandwiches. I love the hoagies - buttery and perfectly toasted. read more

I had just come from the eye doctor and my eyes were dilated, but I was hungry. I have been craving a Reuben sandwich for a while so I thought I would try Scribles. Wow , my Reuben was huge and I could only eat half of one! Not a standard Ruben but the hoagie bun was delicious, with lots of sauerkraut, corned beef, melted cheese and delicious mustard. The chefs take great care in preparing the quality ingredients. The server was spot on and answered all my questions. I will definitely be back when I am ravenous! The place is small and parking is a bit tricky. Worth the small inconvenience. read more

Was walking around my new neighborhood awhile back and stumbled upon this hole in the wall sandwich spot. Cool pseudo-sports bar type vibe. It was slow and I had a beer while I looked over the menu. There was another guy sitting at the bar drinking and talking with the woman working. Then this place got busy in a HURRY! I ordered my food before it was too late and to my surprise the man at the bar got up went behind the bar, poured himself a drink, and proceeded to start cooking my food. For nearly $20 I expected my food to be served more promptly and presented better. The Philly had so much cheese I'm afraid of what it did to my insides. The man drinking/cooking was cursing up a storm as they handled what I was told was a fairly normal lunch rush. I then found out the clearly drunk sandwich chef was the owner of the establishment. Truly bizarre experience. read more

VERY big sandwiches! We usually eat a lot but could only finish half before we were stuffed. Sandwiches, bread sticks, service, atmosphere was top tier. On the more expensive side, but definitely worth the price! Will be coming back. read more

The sandwiches were large in portion and delicious, the bread was so soft. One sandwich can easily be shared between two with the amount of meat they put in them. Super casual Ambiance, a couple of tables inside the old structured deli. Service was friendly, I took my food to go, and changed my mind to eat inside with my family. We got a few dirty looks but I'm not from that town idk if that the norm for them. read more

Food is top notch! But they are possibly the worst at answering the phone. Gotta just be off the hook half the time I swear ‍

My husband and I tried Scribles for the first time today and absolutely loved it! We came in around 12:30 pm on a Saturday and waited about 15 minutes for our sandwiches, which was a pleasant surprise. My husband tried the Jeter and I had the toasted Italian. I can't say enough good things about these sandwiches. They were packed with flavor, from the refreshing lettuce and deli oil to the loads of high quality meats and cheeses. The bread was toasted just right and still soft and easy to eat. Sandwiches this large usually fall apart but these held up the entire time. Aside from the food, the service was also great. The person who served us was incredibly friendly and attentive to everyone in the restaurant. Overall, it was a really enjoyable lunch and we left feeling full and satisfied. We're excited to try more of the menu and will definitely be back! read more

I need a scrabble every once in a while with my kids we made monthly for a lunch and this is one of the places that I like to go.

If you're gonna stop taking orders at 1pm on a Saturday (not a real deli), at least be polite in telling the customer, snapping at them like you're being inconvenienced is a sure way to make me never come in again. read more

This was possibly worst dining experience of my life. Went in my father, who told the order taker that last the sandwiches were good, but the bread was burnt, and asked if they could not over-toast them. She was clearly unhappy to hear this, and told him that he'd have to take it up with owner. He clarified that he wasn't asking for a refund for last time, just asking them to be careful with toasting. There was no seating, and I asked if she had any thoughts on when a table (one of the few) might be open. Again, she seemed unhappy to have that question. Processed the credit card and I noticed that she clearly looked at the receipt for tip, which was zero due to counter service. We ordered to go as they had no open seating. We were told the sandwiches were going to take awhile, so we ran an errand for 30-40 minutes. When we came back, there was a table open and our sandwiches were on the counter, but were told that we couldn't sit there, and had the leave the restaurant, as "we ordered takeout and the table was reserved for dine in guests." After reading through reviews at Yelp and other places, it seems clear that they just don't like some customers, are frequently rude, and staff has a track record of penalizing no or low tippers (again, for walk up counter ordering). So we left with our almost $20 sandwiches. They were ok, I'm sure better if they were hot and not soggy. We can be patient with busy restaurant staff, slow delivery, even wrong orders--things happen. But when staff are malicious in their rudeness and proceed to punish customers, there's no excuse. The sandwiches aren't worth almost $20, or the horrible customer experience. read more

Ok my daughter has been at U of O for 3 years and ask me tell me again why I haven't been here! Amazing service and the best sandwich in all of Eugene. It would be fair to say that it's the best sandwich I have EVER had. Love the vibe here in this feels like I'm at home in my backyard . Send Michelin people here because if this was anywhere else it would have 3 stars minimum. Order at the counter and pick inside or outside . Full bar with a great variety of beers read more

Fantastic selection of sandwiches, flatbreads, and salads. Bring a hearty appetite as their sandwiches are large, with no skimping of what's inside that tasty, soft hoagie roll!

Scribbles is if you know you know time of spot in Eugene. Was recommended by a coworker and it did not disappoint! It's set in a neighborhood and local classic homey feel on the inside. This was the most well put together sandwich I've ever had! I got "the turn" and it was a big sandwich filled meat and flavor! The bread was toasted well, which added a good crunch to the sandwich. Would definitely come back. Went at a really busy time during lunch and the service was slow but they were really friendly. We did wait just over an hour for our food to come out so you gotta be patient. read more

I've heard so many wonderful reviews that I had to try out it for myself. The service was top notch even though it was lunch time and they were busy. The inside is pretty small and there were people trying to get to go orders as well but it all worked perfectly. I ordered the Rueben and bad on me for not reading the full description. It was not your typical Rueben as I was disappointed to see that it was served on a roll and not rye bread. The meat was plenty and had great flavor, it could have used more sauerkraut but that's a personal preference. My friend ordered the Antipasti Salad, it was huge and stacked with meats and cheese, peppers and fresh greens. She disliked their ranch dressing but again we all have our personal tastes. We both had a beer with our lunch and the total was $50 with plenty of leftovers, well worth the price. So glad we went, I'll be back. read more

Moved our son into University of Oregon and had some time to grab a special lunch. We found this spot on Yelp, the sandwiches sounded delicious and they were! We were lucky to find a table that opened up. You seat yourself and order at the front. Reviews are correct that they are busy, may take a little time to get the food, but it was worth the wait. We ordered some soda and a beer we enjoyed while we waited. Would have liked French Fries with the yummy sandwiches, but it was fine as the portions were large! I shared a club sandwich and it was plenty for two. The inside is adorable vintage vibe. As we were ready to leave and pay, the manager was nice and friendly acknowledging how busy it was. We had a great experience and it was a special day for our family so this lunch made it that more memorable and special. We'll be back! read more

Stopped by the neighborhood deli and SO glad that we did. Their prices are pretty steep ($15+ per sandwich) but their portion sizes made it feel worth it. We got the Reuben, The Turn, and the Toasted Italian. The Reuben and the Toasted Italian were pretty heavy, and very filling. They were all roughly 12" long. Scribles feels like a neighborhood deli/bar. It's a little small to serve as well as a third place, but definitely has that vibe. The staff was very friendly and the service was pretty quick (though it's definitely slower than your dime-a-dozen Jimmy John's or Subways). All in all, we were very happy with our lunch and are looking forward to future visits. read more
