    Biscuits & gravy
    Corinne B.

    We finally got to arrive for lunch as well, and we got good service, and it was quite nice. Nice, crunchy tater tots. Even more delicious Reuben sandwich!

    Chicken fried steak and gravy

    Service was so friendly and helpful, they went out of their way to understand exactly how my husband wanted his egg cooked. The dining room is big and it's not noisy and chaotic like so many other brunch spots. Food is reasonably priced and tasty. I especially like the filling of the knowledge omelet and the potatoes. We'll be back!

    Hubby and I tried for first time , the service was great. The tea was good the food good only thing we were disappointed about is that it's a bakery and menu said homemade sourdough bread and it was so thin and crunchy. More like a crouton . The desserts looked good . The decor was cool . Just need to step up the bread . We will go back to try lunch .

    Crispy chicken wrap

    I tried this place for the first time and the chicken wrap was perfect. It wasn't even dry like most wraps. Onion rings were great.

    Stopped by on my way through Eugene for a delicious meal, great service and a cute diner. There was one server working and she was busy and efficient! All food was delicious, there's plenty of menu options. I will be returning if I ever find myself back here.

    Belgian waffle combo with eggs and bacon. Delicious.

    Wonderful first experience at Abilities Diner and Bakery. Server Kimberly was a delight. Funny, professional and oozing with that good nurturing energy. Best Belgian Waffle I've had in Eugene... and I've been to Belgium! Treat yourself and don't sleep on this local gem.

    The berry French toast was phenomenal!

    We know why this place has the great ratings it has! The food and service here are superior! Such an extensive menu to choose from. My party appreciates the kumbucha on tap varied choices too.

    I score our experience a five star visit with my only complaint the hardwood seating! Those benches…read morewere tough on my behind. The food and service however was just outstanding. The lady at the counter offered answers to questions and made us feel welcome. We had a couple items off the kids menu, the bacon Gorgonzola fries, and a variety of bangers. Ever one of us spoke highly of our choice. The fries were great, sauces and condiments were complimentary to the meat, buns were super, and the bangers themselves very tasty. Prices were good and we really enjoyed our visit.

    Beer clean glassware! Yes, that is my lead-in title because it's so crazy rare to get truly beer…read moreclean glassware that I talked about it to the couple beside me (Pete and Roxanne who I got to meet were awesome btw). It's less than 1% of the places I visit that are true beer clean glassware astute. There are many that do a good job, but when you see the lacing on glassware that I saw tonight, you know you're in rarified air. FOOD: ok I know most people don't need out over glassware the way I do so let's discuss the food - I went more unique with a lamb sausage and a boar sausage, plus my new friends next to me shared their fries. My opinion? Awesome. Well executed sausage, the fries were really good - crisp on the outside and still perfect potato texture inside while being hot with a fry sauce side that perfectly complemented Service was great, met regulars, had tasty food - but the whale in this adventure was the care for the glassware. This is special - the owner truly cares about your experience when they nail the small details a lot of folks miss. I didn't miss this detail because it's massive in the nuance on your beer but takes special care and pride to get right. Bangers takes pride in giving you a beer in a properly maintained glass, and that's uniquely special. Applause to Bangers for attention to detail!

    I just ate at Tiger Mama in the Whit for the first time, and it was amazing…read more Tiger Mama has that Korean pocha feel, where the food, drinks, and atmosphere all belong together. I stopped in for a drink while my to go order was being made and had a Tiger Bomb, a beer with a shot of soju mixed in. The drink was great, and the service was incredibly hospitable. Even though I was just waiting on a to go order, they offered me complimentary banchan, little bites of cabbage, carrots, and cucumber, to snack on while I drank and waited. That was much more hospitality than I expected from simply picking up food. The prices are very reasonable for what you get. The portions are generous, everything tasted fresh, and the food felt genuinely high quality. The Korean fried chicken is really, really good. I got the Volcano sauce, and it is legitimately hot. Not restaurant spicy. Actually spicy. I eat the spiciest of the spicy food, and this was a good 8 out of 10 for me, which is probably a 15 out of 10 for most people. It has serious heat, but plenty of flavor underneath it. The dry rub chicken balanced it perfectly, with a tangy, acidic, savory flavor that cut through the richness and paired really well with the Volcano sauce. Crispy chicken, acid, spice, and a cold beer is a pretty hard combination to beat. I also got the kimbap with spicy pork, and that was amazing too. The rice and fillings tasted really fresh, the pork had a great savory sweetness and heat, and the vegetables added freshness and texture. Every bite had a little bit of everything. Between the food, Tiger Bomb, complimentary banchan, and service, I was already thinking I had found a new place I really liked. Then I got home. The only real downside was unfortunately the tteokbokki, which is ironic because that was the entire reason I found Tiger Mama. It was literally the term I typed into Yelp that led me there. And this is where the review gets complicated. Flavor wise, it was amazing. The sauce was sweet, tangy, savory, and a little spicy, with that deep gochujang flavor you want from tteokbokki. The fish cakes were tender, plentiful, and full of flavor. There were glass noodles, mandu, and half a hard boiled egg, giving it a lot of different textures. It felt like a more elaborate, modern take on the classic Korean dish. The rice cakes themselves were fantastic. Great size, wonderfully tender and chewy, and soaked in that delicious sauce. Honestly, the tteok I did receive might be the best I have had while dining out. My problem was that I received three of them. Three individual rice cakes. In an $18 order of tteokbokki. That was genuinely disappointing. Tteokbokki was why I came here. It was what I searched for and what drew me in. The menu picture showed plentiful, delicious little rice pillows sitting in sauce, which was exactly what I had been craving. Instead, I got a large serving of glass noodles, fish cakes, mandu, sauce, egg, and three rice cakes in a dish named after the rice cakes. If this had been the only thing I ordered, I could easily see myself leaving a sour one star review and never going back. But that would not represent the experience I had. Everything else was too good. As someone who loves Korean cuisine, both cooking it at home and eating it out, I can tell there is a lot of care put into this food. Even the tteokbokki was excellent in every respect except the rice cake quantity. The sauce was perfect, the fish cakes were great, the mandu was a nice surprise, and the sweet, spicy, tangy, savory flavors worked ridiculously well together. It also pairs really well with a beer. Or six. Unfortunately, I live too far away to have noticed until I got home, and they were already closed. I'll call tomorrow, and based on the service I received, I'm confident they'll make it right. Three rice cakes for $18 was genuinely disappointing, but I'm not going to let what seems like one portioning mistake outweigh an otherwise excellent experience. The food, atmosphere, hospitality, and care put into everything were too good. Tiger Mama is a great addition to the Whit, and I'll absolutely be back. Especially for more tteokbokki. Hopefully next time, more than three.

    It's a shame to update a review again with fewer stars, especially since I was SO excited about the…read morevegan menu. But we had a meal here where multiple dishes were not well prepared and it seems like something is going amiss with this otherwise great place... It doesn't make sense to serve pajeon (crispy pancake) on a sizzling metal platter. Yes, it's always exciting when a sizzling thing is dropped onto the table, but it char-burned the bottom of the pancake! It was fully black on one side and not edible. I had to ask them to bring a normal plate to pull it off the sizzle platter and save as much of the pancake as we could... but it was too late. To the server's credit, he comped the pancake. The servers are always very nice and fast here. This is the kind of choice that's style over substance, going for presentation that looks flashy but lacks common sense...

    I can't rave enough about Addi's Diner. It is always busy so expect to wait a little bit especially…read moreon the weekends. Addi is the friendliest diner owner around. All of the staff are amazing and I've never had a bad experience with customer service. Many staff are high school students. My son worked there and absolutely loved working for Addi. Many customers are regulars and many out of towners that hear word of mouth how great this place is. Prices are fair and you get ALOT of food. Everything tastes great. I have yet to have a dish that didn't taste good. Fresh and made to order. Very flavorful food. The pancake is huge as well as the cinnamon roll. 4 people could eat it and each would have a belly full. The vibe is cute inside and very cozy. I love to sit and look at the decor. You can't go wrong with Addi's Diner.

    Needed an early breakfast with my daughter, and a local sent me here. Cute little place, but…read morereally its all about the service. Addi herself waited on us and was super personable and sweet. I heard her across the cafe ask after a customer's new baby -- he hadn't been in for a year, she just remembered. A homeless guy came in and she listened to his rambling story attentively, then got him some food and sent him on his way. She's a gem. The food was pretty typical greasy spoon breakfast, which is exactly what I wanted. Solid meal and much appreciated at that hour. I think I heard then say they opened at 4am. Delightful little life saver of a spot.
