This was a nice find, we were looking for a local breakfast spot in Eugene. Right off of the…read moreBeltline on Coburg road, you will find Buddy's Diner. Its a classic diner with bar top seating, many booths and open tables within a very small space. Don't be scared away from the waitlist or large families waiting outside the door, they seem to turn tables very quickly so plan for a little bit of a wait, but its worth it. We got lucky and two bar top seats opened up, we waited about 10 min. We were greeted by a very friendly waitress who quickly offered us menus and filled our drink order. The menu is quite ample, lots of breakfast options, from scrambles and omelets to many shakes and desserts, if you are looking for lunch they have burgers, sandwiches and wraps. We ordered breakfast, I had the custom option, two eggs, bacon, sausage and added a side english muffin. The food was well cooked, good portion and great tasting. My son ordered a custom, 2 biscuits and gravy with an egg and hash brown, he loved his meal. The pricing was fair. We did not have much of a wait time from the time we ordered to getting our meals. Even though it was busy they did a great job making sure we were taken care of.

I came here wondering why a burger place would close by 2 PM because I just had the thought that…read morethat's what this was. However, besides burgers, they also serve a number of breakfast items like pancakes and eggs and so forth. So I decided to go with the breakfast menu and ordered half order of biscuits and gravy and eggs Benedict. I must say both were extremely good and just the food alone I will come back. But the service is very good and attentive and the ambiance has that old time diner feel to it that you don't see too often anymore. Definitely would come back.

I went here for breakfast with a friend yesterday and it was fantastic! We sat down immediately and…read moreour waitress came over a minute later. She brought us the menus and some water. We took our time with the menu as there were so many delicious-looking options. We ended up splitting two dishes so we could both have some variety. We did the French toast with a berry compote and ricotta topping and the veggie omelette with hash browns and toast. Every single thing was so good! The eggs were cooked well, the hash browns were crispy, and the French toast was perfectly made. The ricotta and berry compote was also fantastic. We were absolutely stuffed and could not be happier. The bill was also much lower than we expected, so the food is pretty affordable compared to other diners in town. I think they moved into this space recently as I remember another restaurant being here before. That restaurant was much more territorial with their parking spots and had signs everywhere telling people not to park there if they weren't customers, but those signs are gone now which is nice. Everyone here was super friendly and lovely. I love the mission of this restaurant and will definitely be back to continue supporting them in the future!

This was our third visit, and unfortunately every single time our order has been wrong. We tried to…read moregive this place multiple chances because the food itself has potential, but today was the final straw. My eggs were undercooked, and a very simple request, just adding cheese and salsa to scrambled eggs, still wasn't done correctly. The dish honestly came out inedible. What's most frustrating is the lack of communication and consistency. I really wanted to love and recommend this place, but after three disappointing experiences, I'd rather pay more somewhere else and actually receive what I ordered with decent service. To make matters worse, both my husband and I have had stomach issues all day after eating here. Very disappointing experience overall.

I was searching for a cheap spot and well reviewed place and stumbled across this on here. Decided…read moreto give it a shot, and boy was it worth it. We almost missed it as it is a small shop but it was really inviting and friendly when we came in. A sweet hispanic lady helped us find our table and made sure we got everything covered. She even brought out extra sauces. The food was delicious, we got onion rings, a burger, fries, and a shake. Onion rings were cooked really well, we can tell they were battered and fried. Burger was great, we got classic and it was like someone had made them at home. Fries were fresh and perfect for crinkle cut. Shake was great too, for blackberry they blended up some frozen blackberries and it turned out tasty. Overall the service was great and the food was better. I will be coming back

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.

My son loved our server, she was the sweetest! The menu was big and had a lot of options to choose from.

The milkshake menu is pretty impressive tbh, lots of different flavors to choose from. Overall we will definitely be back! We really enjoyed Mandy's and can't wait to check out their new 2nd location soon as well.

As a local, it truly breaks my heart to write this review. I always want to support our…read moreneighborhood businesses, but I have to be honest about my recent breakfast experience here. The Atmosphere I'll start with the positives: the decor is absolutely awesome. As a discophile, I spent half my time admiring the vinyls lining the walls. The model aircraft suspended from the ceiling and the upside-down table add a unique, cool character to the place that you just don't find elsewhere. Visually, it's a 5-star experience.. The Food & Drink Unfortunately, the meal itself was a different story. The Coffee: I'm a black coffee purist, but this was beyond horrible. It tasted completely "burnt"--to the point where I actually had to add sugar just to make it drinkable. Breakfast Burrito: This was, quite frankly, uneatable. I'm not sure if it was the black beans, the eggs, or something else in the mix, but the flavor was horribly off. Hash Browns: They were completely flavorless and added nothing to the plate. Jalapeños: I'm a huge fan of sauces and peppers, but somehow even the side of jalapeños was bad. On a smaller bright note, the English muffin was good (though it's hard to ruin one of those), and the water tasted great. I honestly can't recommend the water enough, which is a strange thing to say about a diner visit. Final Verdict I cannot recommend this spot for breakfast in good conscience. I hope I get the chance to come back and try their dinner menu to see if it's an improvement, but for now, the great decor just isn't enough to make up for the kitchen's performance.

For dinner we ordered fried calamari for a starter. I got the steak frites and he got the chicken marsala (also made Dairy free). Amazing!!

Definitely the highlight of the trip The waitress both days were super attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. I will be back again next time in town.

I prefer to only make positive reviews, but until this place figures out how to run a restaurant…read moreyou should avoid it. It was a busy weekend but here is the rundown of our brunch timing. Note this meal was on Saturday, not Sunday Mother's Day brunch : -1145am appointment and promptly seated. We were told it will take about 40 minutes to get our food which is fine. - 1200 the wait staff finally came by and took our total order (food and drinks) -1210 water was finally brought to table -1220 four of 5 beverages came out. - 1235 final beverage delivered. There is zero engagement from anyone between these long waits. -1255 three meals delivered. One missing something. - 100 one of the remaining meals delivered - 110 final meal and apology that it would be comped. That's 1.5 hours to get breakfast food for 5 people. The menu was good but the execution by the kitchen was inconsistent. At that point we just wanted to finally get out of there. Sitting there with tap water after finishing your first round of coffee/drinks a long time ago and hoping someone ever returns is crazy. The location is great, menu well constructed, and it was clean and welcoming. If you are looking for a place to just sit around and talk to each other for a couple hours and maybe, just maybe get some food or service at some point then this is the place for you. The one positive note was the barista slinging coffee drinks. She was working her tail off the entire time and all the coffee drinks were great. If anyone had come to ask we likely would have ordered more while we waited.

This is still the best breakfast place in Eugene... there's no denying it. It's vegetarian, and…read morethat's not for everyone. But it's just right for me. Parking is really the only challenge about this place. The pastry case offers a beautiful display of options. The menu is loaded with incredible choices with excellent flavor combinations. And the setting is just right in terms of being cozy and agreeable for a comfy social interaction. I really love the location in downtown Eugene and enjoy the nostalgia of this long-standing brunch establishment. You'll come for the wholesome food and be delighted by the friendly service and uplifting atmosphere.

Loved that it was so close to the train station! The red door stood out in the morning sun; outdoor seating looked friendly. Sitting inside a raccoon that greeted us as well as a friendly purple painted morning glories climbing the walls. Pastry case was impressively packed with vegan pastries. The banana bread was outstanding. Ordered the 3 fingered jack (an omelette with green chiles) and I was told just about everything on the menu could be made vegan -- a promising treat for plant-based diet friends since the food was so well-made.
