BEST BREAKFAST IN EUGENE!!! Hands down the best eggs benedict I've gotten at a restaurant, the biscuits are huge, and the chicken is TO DIE FOR. Michael was our server and she was the cutest, friendliest, most helpful server we encountered on our trip. Will absolutely be coming back! read more

Great meal today. Pearl scramble for breakfast. So much food I couldn't eat it all. Thank you to the staff for being so friendly and fast. read more

OMG! First time here and was not disappointed! Hubby and I ordered a burger and easily one of the best burgers I have ever had! We moved here from Southern California a year ago where we were spoiled with an abundance of really great food and have struggled to find some of those here. Well Cornucopia is where it is at! Kids had the kids nachos and mac n cheese! Typically if they aren't served the cheapo kraft they don't like it but my 5 year old son raved about the homemade mac n cheese! I had the coffee crusted burger patty and it was just amazing! This will definitely become our go to burger place! Can't wait to go back and try something else! Thanks Cornucopia! read more

Cornucopia was one of the first places I went to when I moved to Eugene. I love it! The food is all made from scratch and they truly do have Eugene's best burger. Great, high-quality ingredients and a chill atmosphere make this a family favorite at my house. It can get a little pricey for two people to have dinner and drinks but it's not too bad. They have a great buffalo chicken salad that can feed two people and their clam chowder is super good. I don't think breakfast is their best so I recommend it for lunch or dinner. read more

The staff was very condescending and unprofessional. Food is pretty average. I would not consider returning.

The owner replied to my post. My response: When ordering an entree that includes a salad, I do not believe I should have to do the math to subtract/add the value of a meal. $15 for a pot pie and side salad is still ridiculous. And how about the $10.50 grilled cheese sandwich I mentioned, which you did not address? Your food is bar food, and that is not an insult, it's a fact. Even if you don't refer to it as that, most out there do. And we are the profit, after all. All of your prices have been hoisted and I find it difficult yea impossible to believe it has nothing to do with the uppity-ness being fostered in the 5th Street area. You know your long-time, typical clientele: working class, regular janes and joes who save up for a night at the Corn. What about them? They made you who you are today. read more

Don't come in here with your 13-year-old daughter 20 minutes before they turn into a bar at nine, they will not serve you. Crazy. I've heard of strange stuff but not serving a dad and daughter before they turn into a bar is ridiculous. Never tried it, never will. read more

Cornucopia Bar & Burgers - American Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

Horrible service with an attitude. Over an hour for a piss poor meal. Won't plan on being back.

I don't care for Cornucopia... I dont really know why... I guess it's because people in Eugene vote it "best burgers ever" "Amazing food" So that's what I'm expecting. Nope. Not the best burgers. We went with a large group of people after running in a 5k race. The service wasn't great. (I think every person at the table was out of water at one point) and its expense. Much more than I want to spend for a burger. I've been here a few times... and never been impressed. read more

Great food, terrible service! Went to the 5th Street location last Saturday at 7 PM with my wife to meet another couple for dinner. We placed our name on the waitlist, and went to the bar to grab a drink. The bartender came up, I asked if they had Fat Tire on tap, and I was told "No: we don't carry THAT here. We only have GOOD beer." What a JERK! He acted like I ordered a can of Hamms. So I asked what they did have on tap, and he points to the wall across the room and says "that's our list" as he walked away. So I can deal with a bartender who has a bad day, but the service didn't get much better after that. Our waiter took our order, brought our food, and we didn't see him again until the bill arrived. Come on! At least stop by and check on us. Correction: we did have to flag him down after our food arrived in order to get silverware and napkins. I've been here before, and normally we get great service. But lately, they've been slacking. Not sure if the owner realizes what his staff is up to or not. Anyways: we won't be going back here again. I'm going to miss the burgers, but I won't miss the crappy attitude of the bartender. read more

I came to Oregon to visit and heard this place is a great place to try out. I thought my burger was not that bad, maybe a little overrated and over priced. My gf got sick somehow and started to throw up right outside the building. I went back inside after she was done and told our server that she was throwing up and all he said was, "I'll let the cooks know." Oh, ok. That's all you have to say? Thanks a lot. Talk about not caring at all. Even when I do come back to Oregon to visit, I'm definitely not coming back here or recommending it to anyone. read more

Dear Cornucopia, perhaps, if you managed to leave the tomatoes off my order as requested and had only brought me the side salad I had ordered to replace the fries instead of both, you might not feel the need to charge $2.50 to sub salad. Perhaps, if the ahi on your ahi sandwich wasn't a dry 2" thick slab, one might be able to taste the other ingredients. Perhaps, if you had better service, I wouldn't have to ask myself how to respond to poor service when tipping on under $30. Thanks for ? Jenn read more

This is one of my favorite places in Eugene. It's located just outside of 5th street market. I've gone here with friends, with family, family from out of town, everyone enjoys it. My father lives out of state, and has opened a restaurant in Sacramento California, he wanted his place to have a Eugene feel to it because he likes the whole organic deal we have going here. I brought him and his friend (also business partner) to Cornucopia for lunch when they sprung a somewhat random visit on me. I felt this was a good place to show Eugene's somewhat hidden side of food. Seeing that Cornucopia, though well known, is slightly tucked away in a seemingly small building. My father's friend was incredibly thrown when I brought them inside. My father was right at home, seeing that he spent a several years in Eugene. His friend was slightly out of place and kept marveling at the amount of ink and piercings the bartender had (this was after he commented on my body modifications, which a tame by comparison to many). Needless to say, this guy was pretty out of place, but it was a happy Laurence Sterne (minus the extreme sentimentality) out of place type thing. In the end, he was happy as a clam, enjoyed the food, was ecstatic about the drink selection, and he wouldn't stop snapping pictures with his iPad, at that point I just mentally patted myself on the back and said "Good job dude, picked the right place." But I digress (after two paragraphs). Cornucopia has the best chicken strips, I'm not kidding. They do something with the batter, which results in the coating being crispy but very very light... It's almost like biting in hardened cotton candy, it's that light. It tastes fried, but it isn't greasy. The place also serves a damn good Ruben, good meat, and the portions of meat, dressing, and sauerkraut are are perfect. I also really enjoy the service. The people are always down to earth and willing to provide recommendations for drinks. As you can see, I really love this place. The food it good, and the environment is fun. read more

You want a good burger? You use good ingredients. Cornucopia shows how even something as basic as a burger can be on the hit parade by using quality beef from Knee Deep Cattle Company and it also appears the buns are made by a local bakery instead of being something out of a plastic bag. The hamburger patty looked like it was handmade and it filled the big bun quite nicely. It was also properly seasoned and cooked. Add in some fresh trimmings, take a bite, go "yum!" and then proceed to gobble the rest of that burger down! The fries were okay and they are the kind with a mildly crunchy stuff on the outside. The portion size is adequate and you won't need any more than what Cornucopia serves due to the size of the burger. It's no Dollar Value Menu special after all...LOL! One burger here will be your main meal for the day unless you are a very large football player. Then you would eat two and not be able to practice for quite a while since you would be so stuffed! read more

I love their fries! Once a week I have to have their fries, with a tub of ranch. They look so simple, these wavy well-done fries. But something about their crunchy sturdy outer shell yet soft interior make me feel so good. Why are they so good?? Their burgers are all good, partly because of the meat, but mainly because of their bread. Their buns aren't like the soft buns that break easily (that you'd buy from safeway or other grocery stores) but instead are like actual bread. They're toasted, of course, and don't fall apart when you bite it, but instead are a bit chewy. I really recommend eating their fries/burgers with their ranch sauce. Burgers here are affordable, and aren't as greasy as most burgers are. Definitely a good deal for your buck, not to mention it's super close to the U of O campus. read more

This place is ridiculous, went there last night and they had an entire dining area that they said they "didn't have servers for" so that had people waiting for over an hour. Then they told us to either wait in room completely crowded w people or outside in the hallway. The owners really don't seem to have a good business plan as this is not the first time we've had a problem being seated, weather we called before or not. My family and I will not return. read more

Ugh. Ok the food is great 8 out of the 10 times you eat there. But if this place gets busy your server is gonna probably not do a great job. Just saying cause it happens to me a lot at the one on 5th. So I keep going back cause the burger is good but then I get ticked off when the do stuff like forget to put your ticket in for 20 minutes or they never bring you a drink you ordered but they bring your friends theirs?! Who does that? I love the food and the atmosphere is usually good. So, service aside, cornucopia is super good!!! But 3 stars cause the service is hot or miss but usually a miss. read more

Do yourself a favor and get a cheaper just as good burger somewhere else, like Jackalope. Service is ever getting worse and the food more expensive. So professional of the kitchen staff to pollute the joint with their e-cigs at the bar. And don't bother trying to order takeout from the number on the website, it diverts to the 17th and Lincoln Cornucopia, where the staff is among the most clueless and least helpful in Eugene. In a town where bad service is an art form, they are painting the Sistine Chapel. read more

Funky hole in the wall vibe, solid burgers, not large but high quality. Lots of beer choices, solid service, great fun!! Empanadas were delicious. read more

Damn, have eater here many, many times. Great food but not as great service. Went there, only about half full at best. Only one waiting for table, 5 employees walked by, one saying the hostess would seat us soon. Well after about 7 minutes of waiting, we left. Hope the owner reads this for something is broken So I know all business have a bad day. Went back for breakfast, very good service, the food was great as it has been in the past. Thanks to the owner for taking care of the broken problems. read more

The boss requested Cornucopia. Red flags already, but okay. We tried to get lunch delivered for a business meeting. I called the day before at 4:30pm and they were busy, said to call back. I called at 6pm and they were really busy, but then she decided she would write down my order. She couldn't put it in the computer for some reason. So 30 minutes later we were done with that. I was supposed to call back the next morning to give the payment info, not sure why. The next morning I called at about 9:30am and they didn't have the order information. I told the person who I spoke to the day before, and she said, "Oh, we're letting her go, that isn't surprising." Starting over, she took the order and payment info. They were going to deliver lunch at about noon. It was chaos. Only half the order showed up when it finally showed (12:30), then they brought the other half, then they had to bring salad dressing and utensils, then salad dressing was all over the bag. It was awful. We had to get on the phone with them multiple times. We think they didn't charge us. Of course we'll have to watch the credit card to make sure. We are SO DONE with Cornucopia. They are worse than McMenamin's for service! And the food is nothing special, very overpriced. After 20+ visits between both locations, I don't know why I kept trying... read more

With maybe 5 other tables on a Thursday night, it took TWO HOURS for our 3 burgers. The cauliflower wings were pretty good: beer battered w two choices of dipping sauce. The cheese curds were like mini mozzarella sticks but better. Yet when the actual meal came in, two bites and we were all over it. The wait is what killed our appetite. Not to mention someone (who either works there or just knows people that do) brought in a dog and let it walk all over the table next to us. I'm sure those with severe pet allergies would be better off going elsewhere. Granted, the dog owner was strange as hell; the type to stare at you literally nonstop, wanting your attention simply because he has a dog. Uncomfortable vibes. Don't arrive hungry. You should arrive ready to wait a ridiculous amount of time for your meal to be done. They're known for this, too. After two visits with the same result, I won't be bringing out of town guests here again. read more

BEST BURGER IN EUGENE!!!! I love the Burger and brew special on Mondays. I have not had a bad burger from here and have a hard time not ordering the burgers when we eat here. I finally branched out and got tacos on taco Tuesday and they were delicious as well! We take out of town company to Cornucopia not only because we love the food, but it has a bit of Eugene flare as well! the always dependable and filling lunch/dinner spot for our family! read more

I had to try the "best burger" in Eugene according to the Eugene weekly but I didn't think it was "the best" but it was a very solid burger, I found mine a hair dry, not something I was looking for with such high expectations from the paper. It was a little unfair I would have to say to want such a great product without trying it before. The fries were very good, not as good as café 440(my fav in town), but very, very close. The two females servers liked to dink around and chat about how big their tips were instead of greeting people at the door. However, the man in the backwards Oregon hat was a very good server. read more

Food is fantastic!! Chicken taco rice bowl is so damn good. $16 something is high but it's so good. I've had it probably 5 times and it's always amazing. Girlfriend had a burger and gator tots. She said it was damn good as well. I've never heard anything except good reviews from anyone I've talked to about Cornucopia and I'll eat here again and again. 5 stars but it is high priced. read more

I have been here for a year and these are the Best burgers! My mom comes and visits from California and also loves to stop at this place. The atmosphere is down to earth and the people are chill. read more

I really enjoy this place. I love the burgers and especially the wings. I would like to see a half order of the wings available. A whole pound of them is just too much. And spicy, whew! Love them. They also have lots of vegetarian options that my son enjoys including a vegetarian Ruben. However.....if you're in a hurry this isn't the place for you. It's just that simple. There are plenty of places in Eugene that are for people in a hurry. The last time we went we waited on the sidewalk for fifteen minuets watching the waiter go by a dozen times without even saying hi. Eventually we went to the bar and had great service. Still, I give them five stars because I love the food and can accept that not every place features a drive through window. read more

Came here on a Friday night around 7:15 with a group of 6 and were seated right away. The staff was nice and the food was good, but not great. I'm giving this place a mediocre rating because the wait for the food was ridiculous! Yes the restaurant was full, but not crazy busy by any means. The waitress was nice but took 30 minutes to take our order, and the food took nearly an hour to come out once we had ordered. The burger is supposed to be the best in Eugene, but it was average and not worth the hour wait. read more

Dog friendly, veg friendly. I'm sold! The menu was so full of options for all diet types that I admit I got giddy! Many drink options as well. If you don't see something you like, you is blind! The tempeh Reuben and coleslaw hit the spot for me. Our server was dynamite-- kept us very happy. I can't wait to visit again. read more

Excited to come here for brunch, seen people post pictures on Facebook that look so yummy! Didn't make it in time for breakfast but decided to get some grub regardless. There was great roots reggae music playing and I really loved the vibe of the place so imagine my disappointment when our server turned out to be especially neglectful. He would walk out of the kitchen, onto the floor so many times and yet somehow managed to never make eye contact with us or hear when my partner actually yelled out "Excuse me!" We actually had to go up to him and request service to order our food and later, after we'd gotten fed up, to get our check so we could leave. Decided not to chance it waiting for him to come by and grab it so I just brought it up although at that point with the consideration he was giving us I toyed with the idea of just walking out and not even paying since I think he wouldn't have noticed. I mean, they were busy when we first came in but about halfway through our time there it was basically empty so I really don't understand why our service was so disappointing. As for the food, it also took so long to get to us even though it looked like some basic stuff to put together. Check out my Mediterranean salad photo to get the gist of what I mean. That salad was basically a deconstructed gyro that I had to reassemble myself (why not just tell me that so I could've ordered a gyro) and on top of that, the plate they served it to me on was barely large enough to accommodate the ingredients that were placed on it. How was I supposed to eat anything without everything falling off the plate? And the food was not pretty enough to just admire. It didn't even look like they cared about plating, hummus was just dumped on a corner with some lettuce, olives hidden under the romaine in the bottom right, like this was a joke. I've had Mediterranean salads at other places (Caspian's for example) that were tastier, prettier and also plated so it was edible? Confused and disappointed. read more

Cornucopia Bar & Burgers - Mediterranean salad. Tell me how to eat that without having everything fall off the plate. - American Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

Same great food as their other location, but often much worse service. From my discussions with friends, I'm not alone in this observation. The last few times we've gone in, it appeared that they have hired more staff to improve the situation. read more

If you're looking for a comfortable spot for a burger in Eugene, OR, Cornucopia is the place. It's a very casual and laid-back restaurant with good food, especially the burgers. Our party of eight went there for dinner when our son graduated from U of O in June. Laurel was our server, and she was awesome! She was very friendly and patient with our group, especially with dad. We were there to celebrate a special occasion, and had a great time! read more

I am a HUGE fan of Cornucopia. I have been frequenting this and the other restaurant in town for many years. I have recently been seriously disappointed in the service and the food at this location for the past 6 months that I feel forced to leave a review. This place is within walking distance to my office but I will not be going back after my 3rd terrible experience there in the last 6 months. Today my husband and I went there on our lunch break. We waited 10 minutes before finally receiving water and our menus. We then waited over 45 minutes for chicken strips and a salad. This is the second time I have ordered their chicken strips (I'm an addict) and for the 2nd time they were WAAAY over cooked. They were nearly petrified and burned. The tater tots were also way to over cooked and crumbled when I tried to bite into them. They need to change their oil AND hire a new cook. A salad and a deep friend item should be able to be served in less then 45 minutes during a lunch service. read more

We had very poor service when we went today. I thought the burgers were good - definitely very filling, but we had to wait and remind the waitress for water, I had to go to the bar to place a drink order, and we waited over half an hour for our food to arrive while most the other tables were emptying out, so I don't think the kitchen was too busy. I don't live in Eugene so I doubt I'll give this place another try. We chose this place based on the beef, but it didn't make up for the poor service. read more

Cornucopia @ 5th St is our home away from home! We LOVE their food and the staff is warm and inviting. And if you're vegetarian or not, they can replace any of their burgers with Vurgers (Veggie Burgers) that they make themselves, not store bought. I've never had a bad one yet! They also have great beer on tap, a full bar, pizza, nachos, etc. LOVE Cornucopia! read more

Wow! Walked in and waited several minutes to be seated. When hostess showed up we asked to be seated at bar. Was taken to a table in the back next to a group with multiple children. Again asked to be seated at the bar so we could watch the soccer match. Was than taken to another corner of the restaurant again next to a table full of children. We just wanted to have a couple adult drinks and watch a sporting event. Was like a daycare center. read more

This was my first visit here and I'm not sure why I always see ads that say this place is Eugene's best burger spot. The food was just decent and okay. I guess I was expecting a lot more but the 12$ burger and fries I got was just plain, something you would get if you were to make a burger at home. A Burger King whopper or McDonald's Big Mac would have tasted better than this. There was definitely no "wow" factor with the burger I had, not sure about the other food here. I should have gone to Little Big Burger or Killer Burger instead. I even had burgers in Cambodia that taste better than this. First impressions count and I won't be coming here again. read more

I come in frequently, but this last visit (6/29) I was so disappointed. I placed an online order for 5:30-5:45 pickup. Lavender called me @ 5:05 to say "its impossible for us to get it ready by 5:30. It'll be an hour." She also hung up as I was saying bye. The lady who greeted us at the door was rude as well. When I got home, my order was also incorrect. Just because you are busy doesn't not mean customer services can slack. read more

Food is good but overpriced. Not great service. Our server started out good, but halfway through, just started tossing stuff onto the table and running off. When did service get so bad in Eugene? I've lived in New Orleans for four years and I guess making $2.38 an hour really makes servers bring the hustle. When you have to sing for your supper, I guess it puts a little pep in your step? read more
