I was super excited and looking forward to trying this Vietnamese food truck to satisfy my Bay Area…read morecravings. I was slightly disappointed at the selection, hoping for more choices, but I understand the limitations for food stall offerings. Three types of proteins to choose from (steak, chicken, tofu) which can be served 3 ways--over rice, noodles or sandwich style. Grilled pork would have been a nice protein add. You have to decide upon your "boat" mode---rice (com), vermicelli (bun) or bread (banh mi). The rice & vermicelli are served with a side salad. I ordered and enjoyed my lemongrass chicken "bun" boat. The portion was well balanced with the noodles to salad ratio and it was filling. The chicken had a nice sear and flavorful--I just wished it was a tad spicier. The steak "com" boat tasted good--I wish it was served with broken rice and maybe some fish sauce. I enjoyed my food experience and I thought it was reasonably priced at $11, but note the steak costs a bit more at $14. They do not sell any beverages, you have to purchase drinks inside the bar. Service is great, the wait was short on our visit and your food is brought to you. It's a cute patio area to enjoy your meal and a glass of wine. I wish they offered lighter fare, small bites, like fresh spring rolls (gio cuon) or egg pancakes (bahn xeo). The link to their website on this page is non-functioning as of this writing.

Not like the food carts I'm used to, this one was just sitting outside in the parking lot, no…read morewaiting area and no seating, just the parking lot. Waited about 20 minutes for my food given that my buzzer didn't work and I had to sit in my car to wait since it's too hot to just stand in the direct sun. Although I didn't love the experience of picking up the sandwich was pretty good. The chicken was well flavored and juicy, I also loved the amount of carrots on it. I think this sandwich would be at 4 stars if there was more/thinner sliced cucumber and cilantro throughout. Some parts of the chicken are definitely a little burnt and you can taste it through the flavors of everything else. I think between all banh mi options in eugene this place sits right in the middle, a pretty standard banh mi with a little kick.

The house drinks, tea and fruit concoctions are WAY too sweet. Not in a hurry to return. Service was nice and since it's a food cart you sit outside but it is a covered patio. Could have been a 5 star rating with just a little more care...

The food options are great. Sandwiches, hummus plate, soft pretzel, soup, and slices of pizza. Vegan and meat options and something for everyone. We've seen some great music here sitting at a table and dancing up front. There's a nice area outside that's dominated by smokers, but to each their own. We just love catching a show here!

Sam Bond's was the ultimate end-of-day locale for PIELC, since when that conference used to be…read morecalled ELAW back in the day. Casey Neill and his Norway Rats infested the place, occupying many holes stubbornly, much to our delight and ultimate benefit. For 20-plus years I've been making the pilgrimage to Eugene every few years (usually on the occasion of PIELC) -- and without fail, at some point we would end up at Sam Bond's Garage. But this year -- no Sam Bond's. It's turned into the Whit franchise of a pizza place, apparently. (No disrespect to their pizza. It's delicious.) But. What happened to my favorite bar/music spot in Eugene?? Such an unspeakable loss, if this venue is actually permanently closed. I will remain hopeful that it will be reborn... somewhere else? But if not: RIP Sam Bond's Garage. We, from near and far, loved you. Thank you for the good times you gave us all.

This is my fave spot to get a poke bowl in town! I love that it's located at the Beer Garden so…read morethat you have a large selection of drinks to choose from to go with your meal. You also have the option of inside or outside seating which is perfect in the summer time. For the bowls specifically I like that I can do brown rice instead of white. I always do half brown rice, half spring mix as my base. Makes me feel really healthy! The food has always been quick and super tasty & all the ingredients seem really fresh. I like that you can switch up your order too with the addition of toppings (like crushed hot Cheetos) or add ons (like gyoza or coconut shrimp - my go to's). The spicy tuna is definitely my favorite protein to get, definitely try it! It's a nice meal to have out that's still super good for you! The only reason I don't give it 5 stars is because it is definitely on the pricier side of a poke bowl. I tend to pay anywhere from $18-$24 for a single bowl. I will say that they're large, I rarely finish mine! Sometimes I wish there was a smaller option available. I think they used to have different sizing options but I think it's now just a standard size. Either way they're good so I'll continue coming back for sure!

This was my first real foray into the Mexican food scene in Eugene/Springfield... and I really,…read moretruly hate to be harsh, but I'm sorry to say that I'm not sure it could have gone much worse. With my dad being in town with me, the two of us decided to go on a late-night taco run. We went with a big order that included 2 carne asada tacos, 2 tacos campechanos, an asada burrito, and a chorizo breakfast burrito. Starting with the asada itself: it was just depressingly, woefully bland. The meat was crying out for any sort of seasoning. Somehow, though, this wasn't the worst part -- even more strikingly, it was clear that liquid smoke was likely used as well. If you've never tasted liquid smoke before, it's a horrible, powerfully artificial flavor that should go nowhere near any quality piece of meat. Color me thoroughly impressed if this was not the case here. The asada burrito had almost no asada in it, despite my dad requesting "double" meat. The chorizo had a strange aftertaste, not super pleasant. Furthermore, proper chorizo gives a bright punch of acidity, a stout kick of spice, and a rich unctuousness (aka: that sinful, I-hate-myself fattiness... you know the one) -- this had none of those things. Making a duo of the asada and chorizo in the tacos campechanos did not elevate either meat; it ended up kind of just being a tandem of sadness and regret. My dad -- who never, ever says anything bad about Mexican food -- may have put it best: "Yeah... this was pretty freakin' bad." I will say that the service was friendly and informative... I will always, always appreciate and recognize that in a business. The food, on the other hand, I'm sorry to say might have been the worst I have had to date as far as Mexican goes. I am hoping (praying!) that I find a go-to taco/burrito spot around these parts soon -- I may go certifiably insane if I don't.

They were open late night but food was horrible, should've just opted for an overpriced hot dog instead. Do not recommend the carne asada at ALL, maybe the other meat is okay but everything was super greasy as well, the tortillas full of grease, the torta unnecessarily greasy too. Everything was just terrible, don't recommend especially if you're hispanic and actually enjoy good tacos.
