There was one elderly woman working. She didn't smile and acted like she didn't want us there. We were a party of 3. Complaints of the meat being boiled, enchilada sauce from a can, and very scant portions of the chips and salsa was like she measured out so many chips (8) and 1/4 cup medium salsa. We asked for more salsa and chips and received more salsa (1/4 cup), no chips. Also, no beans or rice with the meal. She said they were out. You should pass this restaurant bye-bye.

I ordered the avocado chicken tostada and my partner had a beef taco plate. Neither had any seasonings or flavor. Drowning it in salsa helped a little but even that had no spice at all.

I like that it has refried black beans with guacamole (and no cheese!). My kiddo got the bean and cheese burrito (always her favorite). My husband got a taco plate that came with rice and beans. You order at the counter and they bus the tables. They even gave us complimentary chips and salsa. The salsa was very fresh tasting and not spicy so all three of us enjoyed it! Nice spot to get a bite and sit down without being too fancy but still getting the eating-in feel.

I barely saw any staff as they scurried away as soon as they put the bag in the pick up area, I had to wait a bit to finally get someone's attention so that they would give me the cup for my drink. Seems the staff are a bit antisocial or don't want to deal with real customers. Good news is both of the tacos were fully intact and not broken.

It was lunchtime, so I tried the #11 lunch special (one chicken enchilada, and a cheese chile relleno.) The food came quickly, and I found it to be good. The enchilada had a good amount of chicken in it, and the chile relleno (an egg wrap type of relleno, not the fried whipped egg white I prefer) was good. The egg was not overcooked as so often happens with these types of rellenos. The sauce on the enchilada and relleno was delicious. The refried beans were tasty, and the rice was nicely done. Chips were ok, and the salsa was chunky and actually had a little heat. Much better than some others I have had. The server who helped me was friendly and responded nicely to the small amount of Spanish I speak. I would eat here again.

It has been many years since I had last been to Shooter's. Perhaps 7-8 years. I didn't really…read moreremember it, but I wanted to check it out again as I don't live too terribly far away and I wanted to take my wife out for St. Patrick's Day. We went around 7:50pm. It wasn't super busy. The area around the bar was full, a couple booths had people, and maybe two of the tables had people. My wife and I saw two open booths, but one of them had dishes that needed to be cleared, so we took the other one. It was sticky, sadly. It is possible they had just cleared it before we arrived, but who knows. There were two female bartenders. It took about 5 minutes before anyone said hello. I had already gone up and gotten us menus. When someone did stop by, she didn't know the specials. We had looked them up, but had a question she didn't know the answer to. She left to look it up. She came back 4 or 5 minutes later amd by them we were able to bring up the specials on our phone (reception is bad there). We were able to place our orders. Ambiance is fine, but looks more dive bar-ish than the photos on their site. Photos show a lot more light in the room than it has. Food was okay.Took about 20 or so minutes. I got a burger. Ketchup there isn't very good, but burger was cooked well. My wife got cheese quesasillia. We make them at home in a fraction of the time. My wife did get the special drink that came in a special cup that we took home for St. Patty's Day. Overall, it wasn't a bad experience. There wasn't anything compelling to bring me back, either. The drink my wife got was fine (she enjoyed the plastic take-home cup). Food was so-so. Really, there just isn't anything that sets Shooter's apart from anyplace else. The ambiance isn't special nor particularly inviting, food is basic for the price they charge, and the service is... serviceable, but nothing stellar. If someone suggested to go back, I would go, but I'd lower my expectations as it is rather run of the mill in my opinion.

Totally Eugene: everyone was super friendly and kind. Really nice that the owner came through to say hello and welcome us; nice personal touch. Must mention... the tables could've been cleaner. Some were a bit sticky and needed some wiping. The Biggest downside was accessibility/ stairs; They're really steep getting up to the second floor. Also, the smokers area appears to be on this same stairway (yikes) I had to charge through the heavy smoke. With that being said. These stairs actually meant a couple friends/veterans; one on crutches and one in a wheelchair could not come up and join us. That really bummed us out. Would be wonderful, if they could figure out the accessibility thing someday, even just a ramp. And of course the obvious of taking out the smokers area on this stairwell (perhaps remove the butt cans & sign to stop this ) ?? Just a suggestion..... This place appears to have reliable food and priced fairly; (I will be back for that prime Rib)! The only downside., No desserts offered. It got me thinking.. I really appreciate how many Eugene restaurants source desserts from local bakeries. It's such a great way to support the community (major morale booster!). Would love to see this spot jump on that bandwagon." If you're into gambling video games, it's a neat little tucked away spot; Huge plus: FREE parking in their shared lot! Seriously, after dealing with parking fees everywhere else downtown this summer, that was a major win for us. Also, FREE cover; charge m, with these trying times this was an extremely pleasant surprise. Overall? Solid spot for music and hanging out, if stairs aren't a problem for your crew. Worth keeping on the list! P.s., Gals, Clean Restrooms!!!! Keep up the good work!!
