We stopped by during the busy rush after the Eugene Marathon. We were able to grab a couple seats at the bar. Service was prompt, polite, and attentive. We ordered fish tacos and the Italian hash. My wife thoroughly enjoyed her hash. The fish tacos were good, but a bit underdeveloped in flavor. The cabbage was ABUNDANT. I removed over half from the tacos. The cabbage could use a bit of revision and the overall composition needs a bit of adjustment and more seasoning. I had heard Agate Alley was a "must do" stop during my food research and reviews of Reddit. Overall, it was a good option, but I think the current Yelp rating reflects it has room for improvement. read more

Best service, best burger, best sweet potato fries. Was here for 5 nights for Nike Outdoor Nationals. Stumbled upon it as it was close to where my car was parked. So good that I went here twice. It's a little hidden gem. read more

One our favorite unpretentious Eugene gems, we stopped in to Agate Alley for the special Grilled Cheese February special. It was amazing. The super friendly staff and warm comfortable atmosphere made our visit perfect. We will be back for another sandwich before the end of the month. read more

Consistent and quality every time. I've been here over a dozen times for various occasions and times of day. The food and service is always excellent. Pictured is one of the newer menu additions: Cod Banh Mi It has a perfect blend of flavors! Personally I think Ferrari Tony's Italian Turkey is easily the best sandwich currently on the menu! The chicken caesar salad is another favorite. For brunch you can't go wrong with the Crunchy Car Bomb French Toast! read more

I hadn't been to this place in about 10 years but the quality and ambiance was better than I remembered! Friendly staff, food was fresh and reasonably priced. My only complaint is my bahn mi was missing the spicy mayo. Still delicious and the fries were absolute perfection. read more

I love visiting Agate when in Eugene. The food is great for such a college vibe restaurant. read more

Head down to Agate Alley for happy hour, drinks, dinner - whatever! Being just a block away from UO, Agate Alley is a fave amongst my peers! The vibes are cozy and they have an outdoor covered patio - perfect for sunny days in Eugene, OR. They have an array of comfort food on their menu and always have bistro specials to try! A good go-to is the burger. Stop in for a mule or their taco special on Tuesdays. read more

Hubby and I went on a Wednesday in August, about midday before dinner so it wasn't too busy. Service was good. Our waitress never really smiled, even when I complimented her, and was rather standoff-ish. But she was attentive and checked in occasionally. We sat in the dim, ambiant, bar area which I really loved but there seemed to be a bunch of cool little sitting areas with different vibes that I want to try! I didn't get a picture of our drinks but they were good and we each got another round! The food was incredible! Definetly a new Eugene favorite! The burrata was also very good and I really enjoyed my Blue Cheese salad with chicken. I don't normally like pickled onions but was feeling adventurous and I don't regret getting them at all! Hubby got the raviolis of the day and those were great too! We wanted to try everything because it all looked so good, so least to say, we will absolutely be back! read more

I love this place, but help me out with his math. I ordered a double bloody Mary, with Grey Goose vodka. The the upgrade to Grey Goose cost five dollars, and was doubled to $10 for the second shot. Making it a $28 double bloody Mary... I can't even imagine why I would request a special vodka for a bloody Mary. My bad. read more

On Thursday, 19-March-2026 ate there with my neighbors, we did have a reservation and was seated the moment we arrived. Our server was amazing and extremely knowledgeable and helpful. The food was great and filling. The adult beverage was hit and miss, but over all decent. The atmosphere was nice and a great safe space. read more

The food is so yummy Cozy atmosphere and friendly service. We had the special grilled chicken sandwich and fish tacos.

Food was very yummyyy Service was great, they seem to yell Jadens name a lot so he seems to really put in the work haha. As for the restaurant it's a little chilly. Only thing i didn't enjoy was my Lemonade but that's just me. read more

As a vegan, Agate Alley is a challenging place to get a solid meal, but my non-vegan friends are obsessed with it (especially the salmon bennie.) The atmosphere inside is quirky and the patio is dreamy in the summertime. I've always received wonderful service and look forward to coming back in the future. read more

We waited an hour and a half for food to come out after ordering, and this was AFTER waiting 40 minutes for our table to be available. There was no communication throughout our wait time except "sorry about the wait." We have never waited this long anywhere. At least provide communication to your guests about expected wait time for food, it's a terrible experience and unacceptable service. Just tell our table how long it will take for food, literally everyone is starving talking about how long the food has taken. read more

First time here and we loved it. Burger was so so good. My son ordered the Mac and cheese and loved it. Onion rings are homemade and the service was lovely. 10/10 recommend! read more

Stopped by on a recommendation, and it was so good!! I got the surfer sando which honestly to goodness is the best sandwich I've ever had! Their tap list was nice too! Service was good but what really blew me away was how cute the place is (vintage movie theater in the waiting area, funky decor, and a gorgeous outdoor patio)! Gender neutral bathrooms always a plus. They have cheap pitchers during happy hour, and I can't picture anything better than camping out with a book, some beer, and their amazing shoestring onion rings on that patio for a couple hours! read more

I had a dish that was only offered during the vegan chef challenge in February 2026. It was a very unusual Hummus and Pita plate, topped with pesto and balsamic glaze. A lot of care seemed to go into creating this dish - it was delicious! I encouraged them to keep it on the menu after the challenge. I sat in the sunny room in the back, which was quiet and very appealing. The waiter was exceptionally pleasant and attentive. read more

Total triple threat. One of the best places to sit both at a table or waiting for one. Have all kind of wild stuff on the menu, all of it executed perfectly. Hidden surprise: Best burger in Eugene! Skinny fries on the side, shoestring onions on the burger, go for it :) read more

Immediately when walking into this restaurant I was so impressed with the decor and overall vibe. It's super funky and cool on the inside and I loved the music they were playing. The food did take a while to come and it is on the expensive side but I loved how many options the menu had. Our server was nice and we were able to be seated on a Thursday night but I would make a reservation if you're coming on a weekend. read more

What a lovely bistro. Very nice ambience, very friendly staff, right next to U of O. The fish tacos and Sopes al Pastor were fabulous, as was the blue cheese spinach salad. Wonderful drinks as well. New to the area, but so far this is my favorite spot at U of O. read more

This establishment is absurd. We sat down for over 20 minutes before even being greeted. Extremely overpriced for barely mediocre food. The ravioli "special" was $22 and came with 4 raviolis, on a bed of raw uncooked spinach. The burger has gone significantly down hill, and the waiter didn't ask what cheese I wanted, instead just served me a plain burger patty. The chicken in the chicken caesar wrap tasted like precooked packaged chicken breast you buy at a convenience store. Will not be back. read more

Delicious food and excellent customer service! One of a kind eatery! Great ambience and decor!

Great customer service. Come here about once a month....hard to find a restaurant that doesn't taste over processed. My 15 yo loves the Mac and cheese with chicken. They have great steaks, salmon, fries, agate salad, drinks ciders. Whoever they have as their chef is amazing. Its a very unique atmosphere and my kid loves sitting outside to people watch when the weather permits. read more

This small restaurant is a bit off the beaten path on 19th around Agate street. My wife had to enter around the back, which was a bit weird. The inside is a smorgasbord of random framed kind of pictures on the walls and ceiling. The effort here is to give an appearance of an upper class establishment with things like water in champagne style bottles. I don't thini it really is, but it tries. The waitress was nice and checked on our group often enough for my taste. We had a group of 8 when everyone finally showed up. We got a couple rounds of appetizers, drinks all around (except for me), including stouts and lemon drops. From what I was told, the drinks were good. The appetizers were a cheese and bread kind of thing. I'm not really sure because I don't eat cheese. The other items were the fried squid. These are in tiny circles, like a tiny onion ring. They were difficult to dip because each was so small. They were okay. I don't have complaints other than you needed a half dozen to get something resembling a bite. I opted for the fish tacos. Normally, I get a burger. They had one that touted a spiced rub, which I didn't want to contend with. I did appreciate that cheese and bacon were extras for an additional fee. Since I eat neither, I prefer to pay a base price and add items rather than the item be priced higher with bacon and cheese and I pay for them to remove them. The fish tacos were not all that great. The entire taco is on3 big mash of pickled coleslaw. It isn't to say the pickled coleslaw is bad -- it wasn't. However, that is ALL you taste. You can't taste the fish. There was a chipolte type of sauce that you can't taste. I could feel it -- the tacos had a little heat to them -- but you get none of the flavor. In essense, they could have given me 3 bowls of pickled coleslaw and that would have been virtually the same. There was an automatic 18% gratuity for having a large party. I usually tip 21%, but they wanted 18, so I gave them the 18. Overall, the place is a bit unusually decorated. It isn't in an area that is great to park near (busy streets). The drinks were good and the waitress checked on us often enough and the right amount of times. My fish tacos were just pickled coleslaw and pretty much nothing else. I wouldn't be against going again, but I wouldn't choose them myself if I was deciding a place to eat (my SIL and BIL chose this spot for the group). It is okay, it is fine, it is a 3-star establishment. read more

aren't for brunch on weekends, excellent food. everyone enjoyed their choice. different menu than weekdays. will go again if i am in eugene

For some reason that I can't figure out, I haven't been here for a few years. We used to go a lot more when I lived on that side of town. We decided it would be a nice place to take my grandma and we were not disappointed! It still has its funky decor that feels like you walked into you're wacky old aunts house. We enjoyed looking at all the artwork! The service was very attentive and helpful. We went early on a Wednesday and we're able to get their Wednesday deal in addition to happy hour items. Econopint Wednesday made our pints $3.50 and a glass of happy hour wine was $5. We were happy to find out that all their happy hour items are the same as listed on the menu with just a reduced price. (It's a disappointment when you order something off the happy hour menu and it ends up being a mini version.) Our table started with a margarita pizza. The tomato sauce was spicy, which my kiddo didn't like but we all enjoyed it. One person got the fish tacos, which I have my eye on for next time. Another got a burger and I got the falafel burger. The falafel burger was tasty but I detected a buttery taste (maybe on the bun?) so maybe let them know if you're strictly vegan. My grandma got the Ahi Nicoise and my kiddo got the chicken strips. One thing I definitely missed about the place was the shoestring fries! I don't know of anywhere in town that has them and they are a fun change from the "regular" fries. read more

One of our favorite spots when we visit Eugene. Creative fun places to sit inside and out. Delicious and varied food. Good happy hour!

Enjoyed a wonderful lunch & Bloody Mary on the veranda! Server was very friendly & attentive! Have been here previously for breakfast & build your own Bloody Mary Bar. Can't wait to bring more friends here again! read more

Loved everything about if. The staff was friendly and efficient. The food was fresh and delicious, decently priced, came fast & there's a great variety of options. (& 2/2 order of fries for $4 is insanely huge!) Did we get to the decor yet? This is your new living room. Every kooky walk hanging you admire but don't have room for can live here along with all the grooviest, fun, lighting fixtures. The house wine is good, happy hour exists, & the bathrooms are warm!
