Chocolate Milkshake And The Savory Italian Soysage
Steve A.

Had to check out this food stand in downtown Eugene. It certainly wasn't much to look at, but the food was good to look at though. Viva! is a totally plant based operation, with everything being okay for vegans and vegetarians. A lot of the drinks and food are based on fast food. They may not be as fast and certainly are more expensive, but the prices aren't that bad compared to other places for this kind of stuff. Came at lunch and it wasn't busy. It's because it was still kind of early. There's not any indoor seating, just outside with a few tables. Basically this is a permanent food stand. Orders are placed at the window. It's about $7 for a milkshake. Of course these are made with plant milk, so it's not as fattening as the real stuff. Has a ton of food to choose from. It's about $8 for the Savory Italian Soysage. Good and filling. This has marinara and cashew sauce. A lot more to choose from. There's also burgers, fries, and more. Good place if wanting to get plant based versions of fast food. It's closed Sundays. The whole menu is okay for vegans and vegetarians.

Viva! Vegetarain Grill is a wonderful all vegan food truck in Eugene. Friendly staff works here. I went with the tempeh burrito. This comes with grilled tempeh, housemaid organic chili, cilantro-lime slaw, salsa, and a vegan cheese sauce all wrapped in a large whole wheat flour tortilla. I thoroughly enjoyed the burrito. It hit the spot! They have some outdoor seating near the food truck. Other options on the menu include housemate chili, falafel, vegan cheesesteak, tempeh tacos, sweet potato fries, polish soy sage, and several more options. Recommended if in Eugene to stop and get a bite.

Chili cheese fries, so yummy

Hands down the best vegan spot around. Every item on the menu hits! Amazing food, Amazing dude

Falafel wrap + side of fries + vegan Philly cheesesteak
Sammy C.

Eugene, OR has a handful of vegetarian and vegan friendly restaurants, and this is one of them. It's a quaint vegan food truck located in the parking lot next to Claim 52 Brewery on Willamette St. (near the Ta Ra Rin downtown location). Their menu has a large range of various vegan options, from tempeh satay, hotdogs, a vegan Philly cheesesteak, to tacos and even vegan soft-serve. My last visit consisted of the falafel wrap & side of fries. The falafel wrap was a hefty portion size, and was jam packed with falafel, veggies, and vegan tzatziki sauce. The fries were crispy & fresh and paired perfectly with their fry sauce. I highly recommend checking this local spot out, but do be warned, they have funky hours. Check their website eugenecooks.com for updates on their menu and hours, delivery options, and discounts. As of now they are open 11:00am-5:00pm Monday through Saturday. For more photos and reviews, check out my food IG, @sammychews!

Falafel sandwich
Corinne B.

This place has good vegetarian food, good customer service, and it tasted very good. It's a food stand, so don't expect major ambiance. I liked how the falafel was not too dry, and it had nice cucumbers and nice salad to go with it. The sauces tasted good as well. Great spot for vegetarian/vegan food.

Chili cheese fries
Jessica F.

Really solid spot for a quick bite to eat! I like the philly cheesesteak, rueben, chili cheese fries and the soft serve.

Falafel wrap
Tessala L.

Best falafel I've ever had :D a little messy, but not dry AT ALL, and so so good. 100% worth the mess, just grab napkins :)

Choices!

So happy to have found this little gem! With a very unassuming exterior, the food that comes from this place is out of this world! The gentleman working the grill was so nice. The Rueben was one of the best vegan Rueben's that I have ever had, a generous portion of sauerkraut with grilled tempeh on delicious bread. My hubby's BBQ sandwich looked amazing and I'm told he's ready to go back again! Parking is easy across the street or in the adjacent lot if you come by car. Order at the window and either take out or sit in the outside chairs.

It's strange that more people don't know about this cute little cart, especially since it's on Willamette. I usually park at Chase and then walk over (shhh) but there's also a parking lot behind it. This is the perfect place to take carnies because the food is not only out of this world, but it's also vegan. And not vegan in that granola-hippie-snorting-broccoli sort of way, but just in that stuff-your-face-and-not-get-fat way. And yes, you WILL stuff your face after your first bite of euphoria leaves your taste buds tingling. The vegan cheese steak always makes me do my happy dance! Don't contemplate the logistics of how cashew cheese tastes significantly better than the dairy kind, just come experience it yourself. Prices are reasonable and staff is friendly (but limited, so be patient). Unfortunately, Viva! hours are short (11:00AM-4:00PM) so get here before they close. Your mouth, body, and wallet will thank you...and you might even find yourself doing a happy dance of your own.

Bottom to top, falafels tacos with coleslaw(if you eat bread you'll want the sandwich). Chili fries and pulled pork sandwich.
Brandy L.

This is a great place for vegetarian food. You do not even know it's vegetarian. Their pulled pork sandwich is so good. The chili fries are a must. Their strawberry lemonade is amazing and the falafels are great. I opted fir the corn tortillas. They were a bit messy, but the taste was amazing. There is lots of yummy coleslaw with the falafels. You get two in each taco, or four in the sandwich. The service was very friendly as well.

I always find that Asian food hits the spot when I'm really hungry, so I looked online for a place that "the locals" rated highly and I came across "Jade Dumpling and Noodles" on Willamette. Let me just say that the fine people of Eugene didn't steer me wrong! My oldest son loves dumplings and I love noodles (really any type of Asian food), so this place was a gem! We ordered 3 different kinds of dumplings, shrimp, pork and a spicy pork and they were All Delicious! These "soup dumplings" were small and bite sized but were packed with huge savory flavors! They are made right there and are amazing! I myself had the mixed noodles. House made noodles with beef, chicken, shrimp and vegetables, stir fried in a delicious lite sauce, that enhanced the flavors of the dish, without overpowering it. You could taste all the ingredients and they were fresh and delicious! I cleaned the plate and now I can't wait to return to Jade Dumplings and Noodles again and try their other dishes, that I know will be tasty! The staff is very friendly, helpful and attentive. The restaurant is very clean and comfortable, all in all, a Great dining experience! Try them out and you'll be hooked on them, just like I am now!!!

We got a table pretty much immediately. We sat outside, initially at a table right by the wall. We could smell the dumpster so it wasn't great, but once another table opened we were offered the option to move and we took it. The new table was much better - no smell and it was next to a heater so it was nice and cozy. The outdoor patio is pretty cute and the fresh air was nice! I have a soy allergy so I had to ask the waitress for an allergen list to make sure I would be okay. They were very nice and accommodating and told me what was and wasn't safe to eat. I ended up getting the focaccia with white bean paste, something I was skeptical of but really liked! The bread was super delicious and the bean paste was well-seasoned. The little slice of lemon it came with was a great topper for it all too. I would definitely get it again! I also got the sparkling lavender lemonade and it was so so good. It was perfectly balanced and I couldn't stop drinking it. The food was all pretty affordable which I appreciated. Lunch and drinks for two people was about $35. They don't do tipping here, they actually pay their employees a livable wage which is fantastic. They have a pay it forward program you can donate cash to instead, it goes towards breakfast for people in need. The employees seemed happy and were very friendly. They seemed to really enjoy working here which is always a good sign. I will definitely be back here. The people are friendly and the food is delicious. They are wholesome people doing important work and we should all be supporting them. Go here!

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.

She's a local and has worked at some of the best coffee shops in Eugene, and you can tell. She knows her craft always great service. The coffee art is always on point, and the service is consistently great. I actually check to see when she's working because I know it'll be dialed in. I'm vegan and there are plenty of options, which I appreciate. I had the Lovely Bowl this time -- fresh, flavorful, and filling without feeling heavy. Their juices are amazing too. Everything tastes clean and fresh. Kudos to the kitchen for how efficient they are -- food comes out quick and well done every time. I've had both breakfast and lunch here and it's all been solid. Sat outside with my dog, who loves hanging out and chilling while I drink my coffee. It's a clean, relaxed space and just easy to enjoy. What a lovely place.
