    The french fries were delicious and the service is great. Super and friendly staff. The burger has great combination of flavors, but patty itself is a hockey puck. I got the recommended Bacon Blue Burger. I think if the burger came out you juicy, not overdone, it would have been pretty good. Very dry. I really like the atmosphere. Great patio with lots of people. I like the feel of the bar. This is the kind of place I like to come.

    French dip with prime rib

    I actually really like this place. Sort of an interesting location being where the 99 meets the highway entrance right at the edge of downtown... parking entrances on either side. First time (a couple years ago) we visited was taco Wednesday. They were delicious. I also got finger steaks that night but I wasn't terribly impressed with those. We knew we liked it that night but then didn't go back again until this week. Darn it we should've. I really enjoy the food here. Environment is really a bar. But the booths for eating are nice. There's a patio that is well used in nicer weather. Sports on TV's throughout the location. Darts, pool, etc are available... I like the variety of appetizers. We got fried zucchini this time but they have tots, fries, hummus, fried mozzarella, mac n cheese wedges, mini chimichangas, nachos (which I hear are fantastic but I couldn't eat by myself and no one else wanted with me). Fried zucchini are crispy... small little things kinda like fries and were very very good! Dad got the Hog burger this time and it was fairly disappointing. Only it did have all the toppings (burger, ham, pulled pork, bacon and cheese) just was short for all the toppings lol the flavor was awesome so that's good... we just expected it to be an inch thick lol Mom good the French dip. It was tender, has great flavor and a good portion of meat. The au jus had a bit of an onion flavor which was yummy. The side salads with both that and the burger were fresh and a pretty good portion. The blue cheese dressing was good as well. I got the philly cheesesteak... primarily because they use the cream cheese as is properly done in philly. Iasked for mushrooms which they happily added. I wish there was more, I wish they put mushrooms on it automatically, and I wish they had a cheese sauce not sliced swiss cheese. The meat was the same for this one. It's like prime rib I think. Thin sliced. I got tots... and they were delicious. I also got an order of mini corn dogs to go. Those were great too. Service was fantastic from both the chef, who brought out our food, and the server. She was friendly and upbeat. It was very busy so once we wanted to order it took awhile to get assistance again but just know it's a bar and so if people are ordering and needing drink service, they will be served first ya know? Wish I had come here more before I moved away...

    Bloody Mary minus a few ounces.

    Finally had a chance to stop in (kid free) so I decided to imbibe in a Sunday a Bloody Mary. $6.50 for a nicely spiced, not to tomato heavy, olive and green bean dressed cocktail. Small football crowd (49'er), good seating, nice staff and the fries were tasty, a little spendy but cheaper than the $8.75 wimpy grease soaked ones from McMeniman's.

    Enjoying a smoke at Good Times.

It's centralized location in beautiful Alton Baker Park makes it easy to utilize public transportation and it's right off the bike path. Free parking. Inside the venue there are areas to dance or just chill in the grass with a great view of the stage. Food and beverage vendors and indoor restrooms. The Cuthbert features a good mix of music genres from nationally and locally known artists. Even when I can't afford a ticket I enjoy just sitting in the park. I always see people I know. Sometimes I can't handle going to whole concerts and going through security lines. So I like the option to just come and enjoy the ambiance for a little while. It's just very accessible, very local, fantastic outdoor venues and a jewel of the city of Eugene. If you haven't seen a show at Cuthbert, you are missing out big time.

Standing water on the floor is gross.

It was very uncomfortable and disappointing. The show itself was great, including the sound.

However, an hour and a half into our stay, we were still waiting on two of our dishes. We communicated to the waitress what dishes we were missing (nicely, we weren't belligerent about it). Apparently there was a misunderstanding, because shortly after, the hostess came over said that it was the waitresses second day and to "lay off her". How she felt we were being rude, Idk but that wasn't the intention, we just wanted the food we ordered, and didn't explicitly blame the waitress. We received another one of our dishes, while the last dish wasn't brought to us until we left. We had to seek out a waitress or bar tender for everything, our checks, napkins, and our food. We were never checked on for refills or how the meal was going. However, we weren't acting upset about this, we were honestly just in grossed in our own conversations, with the occasional "I wonder where our food is" comment. On our way out, we were unceremoniously told we were not welcome back, which again completely caught us off guard, and I suspect there must have been a misunderstanding. It completely ruined the night for us, and I will happily never return. Food was fine, the atmosphere is cool if somewhat undercut by the hostile service. If the owners hope to keep their customers, they should avoid banning their paying customers over miscommunication.
