Raising the red flag here, people, because Zandos just committed grand theft flavor and I need everyone to know. My family rolled in three sandwiches deep fried chicken, hamburger, pulled pork, like we were assembling the Avengers of handheld meat. Every single one showed up and dunked on the others. There was no loser. There was only us, sitting in stunned silence, chewing like we'd just witnessed a religious event. Then the fries arrived with curry dipping sauce and honestly? Rude. Absolutely rude of them to be that good. The cucumber salad was there to make us feel like responsible adults for approximately four bites before we went back to the sandwiches. My daughter has apparently been sneaking off to this place her ENTIRE time at school here and said NOTHING. Not one word. Total gatekeeping. I found out about Zandos the way you find out your kid has a secret second family. Also ... whatever business arrangement Zandos has going with Crow and Cart is an actual game changer. Someone give these people a key to the city. Michelin, I know you're reading this. Get in the car. Im sad that it took 4 years for us to find the best food in Eugene . Like all things I hope one day to be back . Sco Ducks !! read more

I decided to try three of their popular dishes. First, the Fried Chicken Sandwich (spicy) was just okay. The spice level was perfect, but I expected a bigger, juicier chicken breast. Instead, it tasted greasy in every bite. The complimentary specialty sauce also wasn't my favorite. Second, I tried the Cheeseburger (no pickles). I was excited for this one, but it ended up being way too salty. The Porker was definitely the standout. Every bite was flavorful, and the sauce was really good. I'd recommend this one. They also have a beer garden next to the food truck where you can enjoy food and drinks. The atmosphere was clean and nice. read more

If you have a rubric for a burger, with categories such as juicy, flavorful, local, bun density, sauces, toppings, and scored this burger out of 10, it would get a 10. No notes. Also, the fries were diving. read more

For a quick lunch on the way up to Portland, we decided to stop by Zandos, a food cart right next door to the Crow & Cart bar. While the bar allows Zando's customers to use their facilities and tables, we were a bit short on time and decided to eat in the car. All the food seems to be freshly cooked and fried, resulting in about a 15 minute wait. While my food was being prepared, the aroma of what kind of smelled like white pepper and five spice wafted out of the truck, along with the fry oil. This is a smell I more associate with Taiwanese fried chicken, so I found it pretty interesting. Fried Chicken Sandwich, Medium ($12) - Two pieces of chicken, one a thigh and the other seeming to be a chicken tender, are stuffed in between a pressed toasted bun. The chicken is fried to a dark golden brown in what appears to be a cornflake-ish breading, filled with little nooks and crannies, giving the appearance that it would be exceptionally crisp and crunchy. Appearances can be deceiving. It's actually a rather delicate crisp, with some portions softened by the more moisturous elements in the sandwich. Those include cucumbers and pickled red onions on top, and mayo spread on both buns. The cucumbers are an interesting addition and not wholly unwanted. They add a somewhat cooling effect to counteract some of the spiciness from the medium heat level. Actually eating the sandwich rightside up results in some discomfort from the amount of heat, whereas eating it upsidedown dissipates some of the heat from the action of the cucumber. (4/5) Fries, Curry Mayo ($5) - These are potato wedge fries, which I believe are made by first peeling whole potatoes, par boiling, then slicing and finally frying. This creates a crispy, crackly crust on the exterior due to the rough layer of softened starch on the cut segments. The interior still remains creamy and tender. The fries are served fresh from the fryer, hot and steaming enough to burn. They are tossed with kosher salt as soon as they come out, which allows the salt to adhere well, making the fries uniformly salty but not too salty. As the dipping sauce, we went with the curry mayo, which is essentially a creamy dip with curry powder mixed in. It's a nice sauce that isn't found around often in the US. (5/5) Zandos certainly serves some good food! It was perfect for my needs and I left happy and full. read more

Zandos - Burger and fries w curry sauce - Food Trucks Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

My boyfriend and I visited the other day because there were so many good reviews and it did NOT disappoint! The guy working was super nice and seemed to put a lot of love into his food. My burger was cooked perfectly and was easy one of the best burgers I've had! Boyfriend likes spicy Friend chicken and was thrilled that his nose was running lol. The fries are more like jojos but by golly they were good! I was so fully but couldn't stop eating them! The spicy curry dipping saice was great too! We sat inside Crow and Cart which was super cute. We live up the McKenzie but will be visiting when we come to town for sure! read more

Is Zandos the best burger in Eugene? Maybe it is. If you like a big burger with toppings then Zandos is definitely in this conversation. I'll say for sure, 100% without a doubt the Zandos burger is better than 95% + of restaurant burgers around. Are the Zandos fries the best fries in town? Well... it is again a fair question. Do you like crispy thick cut fries? If you do then you really should get some here. The fries are fantastic. Chicken sandwich is 10 out of 10 too. So good! Is Zandos Curry Mayo the best dipping sauce for French fries in Eugene? Do you have to ask? If you like your food prepared with care and you like tasty sandwiches, Zandos is a must visit. Take your food to go, eat it on your tailgate or belly up to the bar at the neighboring Crow & Cart for a pint or a cocktail or a soda! Patio seating and indoors are both super nice. read more

Great food and customer service. It's a little expensive, but totally worth it; everything is unbelievably fresh and tastes like high-quality ingredients. Some of the best food I've had in Eugene. read more

Tried this spot yesterday with my boyfriend, we were both super pleased with the food! Burgers + ingredients were really fresh and juicy. I love the added cucumbers to the burgers honestly, very refreshing. I'l definitely be back for a burger! The fries were good but not really my jam, just a bit too crispy for me, but they were still good. The burgers here are the star though. Service was friendly! We just ate in the car but they have a bar nextdoor with outdoor seating, I saw some people eating it there. read more

One word: WOW. The fried chicken sandwich was perfect: hot, crispy, tender meat. Topped with marinated(?) cucumber slices and onion. Fabulous bun too. My hubby ordered the porker and fries. Porker has shredded pork and a patty of fried pork. Definitely won't go hungry here! The fries are thick but nice and crispy. We are ours at the pub next door, which encourages to do so. Fantastic dinner!!!! read more

I went in with very high expectations based on reviews and recommendations. The burger was decent but not amazing, while the fries were pretty good. I expected to be more impressed overall, but it was still a solid experience. Also, I waited about 30 minutes for a burger and fries. read more

There isn't enough stars for this place, from food quality to customer service 10000000/10. I keep coming back and it doesn't matter what you order, I've tried it all and it's all amazing. read more

Without exaggeration, one of the best burgers I've ever had. And the fries are delicious as well. Got both and ate at the bar next door, paired with a nice IPA. read more

Zandos is great! Jeff is friendly, and such a good chef. The chicken sandwich was I got half spice and the spice nicely accented the chicken. The breading was perfectly crunchy, and kept the chicken as the star. Some chicken sandwiches feel really heavy and leave you feeling greasy, but not this one. The pickled cucumbers, pickled red onions, and the bun rounded out the supporting cast for an amazing ensemble. The cuke salad was really refreshing. Japanese-inspired, the salad fits surprisingly well on a menu of burgers and fries. It's fresh and the rice vinegar cuts through the the oils (as light as they are) of the other dishes. Speaking of fries, these are unlike any other I've ever had. They were crispy on the outside, and smooth on the inside (not starchy like most steak fries). You get a healthy portion of fries, but don't feel gross after finishing. And don't forget the curry mayo! Last, but certainly not least, the cheeseburger was so good. The patty was cooked to a perfect medium rare, and the flavors melded together so well. For a 1/3 lb patty, the burger is filling, but doesn't sit heavy. All in all, we loved Zandos and we'll definitely be back! read more

When you've traveled to many states and countries having burgers from all around, one doesn't expect to experience that perfect burger taste twice. At Zandos, you get that. There is a magical blend of classic and hybrid at play here that you're not going to get anywhere else. If you're a pure carnivore or a vegan, there is an option to have that will enrapture you in bliss. This is a place I've gone back to enough times I'm proud to say I'm simply a fan of this chef's work. When I mentioned how there is hybrid work at play here, I had realized something with the menu. There are Japanese infused ingredients and foods that are a part of the roster that make a dynamic menu. Being half Japanese myself, I grew up with a mother who was an amazing home cook, and has equally passed on a lot of that knowledge and love for home cooked Japanese dishes with me. I can tell if a restaurant has a Japanese chef at the helm, or if they're just checking boxes on a list. Does Zandos fit in the former? I would say he excels beyond my expectations. You will get someone who makes authentic cuisine that's infused both American and Japanese cooking to the absolute edge of perfection. Do yourself justice and order here if you love burgers, or any kind of sandwich for that matter. The chef there, Jeff, makes Fried chicken sandwiches, pork katsu, vegan; with amazing sides like fries with wasabi mayo, cucumber salad, and potato salad. You will leave happy. read more

Best burger so far after 6 years in Eugene. Very non descriptive food truck on Blair Blvd. but, absolutely delicious cheeseburger and French fries that are more like steak fries. Brioche like toasted bun was delicious bread and 1/3 pound burger was perfect and done medium rare as I requested. Service was timely and helpful staff delivered to my car as I'm on crutches now. We'll be back soon. read more

really cool food truck with nice operator, great burger and fries, would highly recommend

Excellent burger. That's all I had but let me say that this may be the best burger in the city. Sorry, Cornucopia, but you are not #1. Zandos has a limited menu, but if you want a light bun-- almost a brioche -- and a perfectly cooked patty? Then this is your place. That's their secret-- the patty. Not heavy and not over cooked. The pickles? I never much care for pickles on a burger. However! These are not your average pickles. Oh my no. Leave rl them on. Ditto for the onion slices. There are not a lot . Just enough to add flavor. Yeah. I recommend Zandos. And here's an added bonus. Say you go to Tacovore, but they're busy and their wait time is long. Zandos is right across the street, and for me is just better. Machine made/ Manufactured tortilla shells? Meh. Go with the burger across the street. Plus you can sit and wait and eat in the adjacent bar (name escapes me-- something with a C) with a beeper to get your order. Nice. (By the way, I ate here before reading any reviews or knowing a thing about it. Was a great surprise.) read more

A phenomenal burger from a food truck next to Crow and Cart. High quality meat and perfectly prepared with a unique bun and only mayo, cheese and pickles. This is a high end hotel cheeseburger - think Ritz. Fries were tasty though a little thick for my taste. Get the cucumber salad if you are looking for something lighter. Can't wait to try the chicken sandwich. The chef has some creative takes on a pork sandwich too! read more

Best burger I've had on the west coast (and maybe ever) - cooked perfectly every time! The cucumber salad is awesome too! The fries are also super good, with creative and delicious sauces to go with them. I don't live in town anymore, but I look forward to every trip I make to Eugene because I get the chance to come here! read more

The best burger in oregon...by far. The owner and chef has found a phenomenal way of cooking great food that not only tastes great but doesn't trash your energy or anything like that (typically after big burgers I need a second to recoup). Weekly specials are always a good treat, but never sacrifices his food's quality. There is a bar next door (Crow and Car) that allows you to sit in there and enjoy some zandos, you just need to purchase a beer or other beverage there. Consistently my favorite spot in the whole city read more

Tried this cart for the first time today and I'm kicking myself for not trying it sooner. The burger was fat and juicy. Nice blend of locally sourced beef...cooked to order. Delicious fries with the right amount of crunch (get the curry mayo). Almost went back to get another, but I'm fully satiated. read more
