The service here was fine, the food just wasn't that great. Nothing we tried was to die for, we got a waffle and some rye sandwich, fries were ok but felt heavy. The waffle was a decent size, tasted fine, no notes really. The prices were decent but honestly I'd rather go elsewhere, better food & portions and better taste overall. Honestly I'd be lying if I said I didn't immediately get a stomachache after eating here, my mom included. Do with that information what you will. Definitely would not return here. read more

Always a go to restaurant for any meal, for any occasion! The atmosphere is wonderful even on a busy day. The staff is amazing and food is delicious! Even though the restaurant is not open for dinner, the to go/take away dinner meals are delicious and a reasonable price. Check online for their weekly meals! (2 options for Monday-Friday) read more

Food was not bad Service started out good and declined quickly as it got busy Folks don't want to sit too long after they've finished eating...felt like I didn't matter anymore Despite there were plenty of worker bees. Bad attitude of a server says a lot about the restaurant. read more

We walk in and this place is tight. We see an abundance of tables for two. There are a couple of larger tables towards the back of the room. I'm not sure I understand the motif here as it is obvious that everything there seemed to be a distressed theme and run down, intentionally. The place looked clean enough, just not sure I understand the style of making your place look tired and exhausted, but it is intentional, nobody can possibly do that bad of a paint job on accident, holy cow LOL! Apparently though, this place is supposed to be a hopping location. Several Yelpers I know have given it high marks, so we get a table for four and try it out. This is a small location and driving up, I couldn't even see the small sign out front, it was covered with tree branches. Entering the restaurant we find ourselves standing in a small narrow hallway by a register. As luck would have it, a table for four was available, so we were led down a very narrow path between tables and seated at the back. The tables were an interesting shape but were very roomy and comfortable. Service was very nice. They were courteous and informative and willing to chat about the menu items. The menu itself was surprisingly full with a wide range of options. I opted for the Doña Ana chicken sandwich. It was crisp, hot and delicious. There was a surprise from a little spice heat, not sure if that was the aioli, but overall this sandwich was worth it. The veggies were crisp fresh and cool while the meat was a moist crispy chicken that was hot, the cheese was melted nicely. The ciabatta bun was also well done in that it held together very well and tasted fresh. I had a side of fries and they were the variety that is very crispy and has that baked appearance, not oily in the slightest. The London Fog Tea was far superior to the house coffee (I had a cup of coffee before I found the London Fog). I was very satisfied with the quality and taste of this meal, I'm willing to go back and try some other items. I just don't understand the Stressed Look fashion being desirable these days, the curse of being a Boomer I suppose. I'll be back to try more things though, the food here really is tasty. read more

I am so sad to find how much the Glenwood has declined upon my return to Eugene after 20 years in Portland. I ordered my go to favorite breakfast skillet. The eggs were way overcooked, brown and inedible, while the potatoes were undercooked and flavorless and they forgot the bacon. Such a disappointment. Even worse, my friend ordered the huevos rancheros which had the same over cooked eggs but in an attempt to cover them up there was at least 1 1/2 cups of sauce dumped on top of them which my friend had to scrape off. The service was also disappointing. While waiting for my biscuit and side of sour cream she started watering the plants. I was halfway through my sad skillet when she finally remembered...and the biscuit was also under baked. And please don't call me "hon", I am 50 years old. Just stop it. I am embarrassed that I brought my friend here after waxing nostalgic about how great it was, and I will not be back ever. read more

My favorite go to breakfast spot. Large selection, good coffee and friendly staff who take good care of you.

While I still miss their campus location, these folks offer a dependable and solid spot for a great breakfast. My friend and I ate there this morning and she was amazed at the number of options available for breakfast and lunch. I have my favorites - either huevos rancheros or the eggs Benedict with mushrooms. I continue to believe that there are Benedict sauce is the best in town. On a nice sunny day, they also have great outside seating. read more

We recently dined at the Glenwood I had the Ruben sandwich it was ok I probably would not order it again, not a lot of meat and just didn't feel like I was eating a traditional Ruben had it with side of their tomato cheddar soup it had good flavor need some cream it was pretty thick . My husband had the Montana omelette he really liked it said it was very good that is what he usually gets and he is never disappointed. My daughter orders a bacon cheese egg white omelette with peppers and extra bacon on side she also really enjoyed it. Of course the raspberry jam was delicious like always :) I have had really good meals here in the past just the Reuben not for me. we will Be back, The service was great and they were very friendly . I always enjoy the atmosphere due to it being small and it is definitely a great Eugene restaurant to come and try. :) read more

Decided to give them another chance because of all the positive reviews after the worst first experience when I first moved here 4 years ago. So glad we did. Greeted upon arrival and seated immediately. The restaurant was full on a Tuesday. Very friendly staff member offered to bring drinks while we waited for our server which was brought right away as our server appeared who was also very friendly and took our order and even dealt with a complicated request from my son in a very patient and good natured manner. The food arrived right away and was very good. My son had chicken fried steak which wasn't on the menu with gravy, eggs and home fries. All of which got 2 thumbs up. My salmon benedict was also very good although the eggs were slightly undercooked I like the whites (albumin) well but they were still good as well as the hollandaise, salmon and home fries. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them for breakfast or brunch and will be trying their lunch in the near future. read more

Service was great. Menu was nice. Wanted to try their egg Benedict. To me I found the sauce to be a little tart. I asked for hash browns extra crispy. They were right on mark, unfortunately the oil needs to be changed. Tasted like old grease. Also a little dark back in the back corner. I have heard so many great things about this place, I'm not ready to give up on them yet. read more

Waited 15 minutes just to get a cup of coffee! Another ten to get our order taken. Pancakes were dry and only given a small 1/8th of a cup syrup. Bacon was dry and black (? Why). The waiter asked me three times what my drink order was, really?! The place wasn't even crowded. Their coffee is that bitter coffee you get at IHOP. Have lived in Eugene 50 years and this used to be THEE place to go for breakfast. This was the second time it was awful, I'm done! read more

The Takeaway Family Meal (dinner for four) is outstanding!! $21.00 to feed -they say- two adults and two children. I find feeds more than that. For $8.50 you can add a bottle of wine. Unbelievable menu; always one vegan/gluten-free option and one animal protein option. Unbelievably delicious meals. Fresh made, home-cooked, ready to eat. I've had the braised pork paprikash with egg noodles and roasted carrots. Another dinner I have ordered is the white meat chicken curry salad with celery and apples to make sandwiches at home with the included four croissant buns, fruit (in this case, it was nearly an entire cantaloupe, sliced), and homemade cookies in this case they happened to be coconut chocolate chip and we're utterly delectable. This take away meal thing is an unbelievable find. These are great for a family. They are equally great for students, for people who are on their own, how old or young! For example, portions of the dinners can be frozen and saved for later. Incredible find! A wonderful community service. Check their website Monday through Friday, there are no family meals on the weekends. Order online at the Glenwood restaurant website by 2 PM the day of the dinner that you would like or earlier. Drive on by the restaurant on Willamette beginning at 4:30 (you choose the time you'd like to pick it up). Best dinner ever! read more

I was in the area and between appointments so I decided to stop and try lunch at Glenwood. The interior is styled like a cozy diner and a lot of seniors like me were there. I have been wanting a patty melt for a while so I ordered my patty melt medium rare and a side salad with blue cheese dressing in place of fries. My server took my order and someone else delivered my food. I just had ice water with my meal, but no one ever came around to refill my glass. The side salad was surprisingly good as it had garbanzos and beets on a fresh bed of mixed greens I was very disappointed in the patty melt as the tasty marble rye bread was very greasy and the preformed patty was very dry. The red onions were cut pretty thick and were barely sautéed. I could not tell if there had been a slice of cheese in the sandwich or if it was just some type of cheese sauce. The breakfast menu may be my choice the next time I am in the area. read more

The Glenwood has improved over the past few years, IMHO. Food and service is great and you get that homemade, friendly vibe there. Be it breakfast or lunch, you really can't go wrong and over the last year, can't say I have had anything bad from the food to service. Worth the stop when in the area. read more

Glenwood Restaurant - Great menu! - American Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

An Eugene classic, and open for breakfast and lunch. Their menu is extensive and they are always willing to make things vegetarian or vegan for my friend. So she had a tofu scramble (instead of egg scramble) without cheese. I had the chicken and waffle. Good chicken, two royal pieces of tender, well seasoned and crispy but not greasy chicken. The waffle was a bit thin and could have been a bit more crispy to support the chicken, but tasted good. The place was deservedly packed for lunch but service was efficient and friendly. Parking is always an issue in the area. read more

Always excellent food, service and coffee refills :) Home fried potatoes are cooked to perfection with the perfect amount of texture and crunch. Being able to choose to have breakfast all day long is a big plus for me. Rye bread is marble rye bread and it is delicious with the perfect amount of butter. Food is served hot and ready to eat. It can get a bit noisy from loud customers, but a one on one conversation is still very possible. I have nothing negative to say. read more

I love Glenwood. It's such a cute brunch/lunch spot. I come here all the time. It gets busy on the weekends so they do have a waitlist. The interior is super cozy and rustic. The menu is huge and everything is delicious. It's great if you want a hearty meal. I love the blt sandwich and their sweet potato fries. Service is great, all the employees are very friendly and accommodating. read more

I have always loved Glenwood. It's truly and iconically Eugene. You get home cooked meals. It's a great atmosphere and the service is always exceptional. They have came in clutch for our family more times than we can count. read more

I was here the other day for my usual, Eggs Benedict. I have not been in a while, but am very pleased that the quick pleasant service in a well kept dining room continues. Come in the morning before they run out of hollandaise sauce. You too can have the fabulous, very well prepared dish I typically eat. They have a huge menu and everything I have tried is great. The Glenwood is as good as ever. The small booths allow for some privacy. Service is fast and efficient and pleasant. Enjoy, but leave me just a little of the hollandaise! read more

Awful food (Meh). Horrible service. (Waiter ignored us) Dirty (Not sanitary). Do they just not care at all? (We tried this because it is supposed to be a local favorite. Eew...we won't be back.) read more

The Glenwood is definitely back in action. Their entire extensive menu of breakfasts, sandwiches, burgers, dinner entrees, and more is now conveniently available via convenient online ordering. One evening we ordered the huevos rancheros ($9), the sesame ginger chicken salad ($11), and a tempeh peanut-sauce stir fry ($14). Each came with a soup/side as well (tomato bisque & clam chowder). Overall I was super impressed with everything. Sometimes to-go food doesn't translate well, but over here presentation and quality was not lacking. Everything looked and tasted great. My favorite was the stir-fry. It was a generous amount of tempeh and veggies with just the right amount of peanut sauce + rice. I added a bit of sriracha which took it over the top. It tasted even better out of the fridge the next day. Both soups were great as well. I would order any of those items again. They are doing another cool thing. On weekdays you can order a family dinner (meant for 4 people) for $18. And on the weekend they have family breakfasts. The choices rotate every day, and there are usually veggie-friendly versions too. Check the website to see the latest options, they are good about updating it. Today's breakfast option is a Strawberry Brioche French Toast Bake. How amazing does that sound??? So whether you want a brunch-to-go, breakfast-for-dinner, a juicy burger, or a million other things -- definitely check out Glenwood. read more

The food is absolutely amazing. Took my adult daughter for brunch for her birthday it was absolutely amazing the service was just as amazing the waiter so nice brought a blueberry muffin out with a candle for my daughter. The pancakes are probably the best I've had in a restaurant they had a vanilla flavor so good & the eggs Benedict was perfect! I highly recommend read more

I've always loved the Glenwood. Hands down the best breakfast place in town. Great local (strong) coffee. Simple orgasmic bread from Great Harvest. My go to for years has been the Durango Scramble (add avocado). Delightful and overly filling. Their fresh fruit side is actually fresh! When other restaurants offer canned or a pittance of portion... Glewood rolls in with the real deal and generous portions. Nice! I've never ordered a breakfast sandwich and been happy (except for the emergency McDonalds sausage biscuit... I know what I'm getting) but, the last two visits to the Glenwood... I wasn't really hungry.. so, I assumed I'd get this small toasted sandwich. WRONG! It was the best breakfast sandwich I've ever had! So, I had it again. Hearty... eggs cooked perfectly and they have the best bacon! I ask for double-bacon rather than the ham and bacon that comes on the Durango... because I'm not a ham girl... even though I love to "ham it up"! Just go! You're welcome! Pro tip: home fries are cubed and fried potatoes w extras. A must have! read more

Enjoyed Eggs Benedict with ham & potatoes. The hollandaise sauce was ample and yummy! My wife throughly enjoyed her loaded oats with fruit. Fast service today, had our meal in 15 minutes. read more

Glenwood Restaurant has always had delicious food and good service. We have been going there for 31 years.

HO-HUM Service was spotty, food was just okay. A little noisy inside. Just not worth going back. There was nothing wrong with my food, just kinda' skimpy portions and everything needed seasoning. My friend had fish & chips that were over cooked and served with really ordinary fries. The server had no idea what Malt Vinegar was and had to go ask but finally found some. read more

Love this Eugene staple! Been visiting this place since I was a kid. Every time we make it back to Eugene there is a meal at Glenwood no matter what! read more

Glenwood Restaurant - Been coming here since I was a kid. Being able to bring my daughter was a fantastic treat!! - American Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

Edson is awesome, and I'm happy he's still here! Glenwood serves great food at decent prices, and it's worth making the trip to their Willamette location now the the campus location is at least for now gone. I'm personally a fan of their salmon Benedict, but I'd doubt you'd be disappointed in any breakfast item they offer! While there's a decently large parking lot, you can always park on the side streets off Willamette as well. Walking a half block isn't a big deal. read more

Very impressed with the dinner takeout. Had the pulled pork and it was fantastic. Hand delivered to the car with smiles. A good portion, with lots of flavor. One small suggestion do a spilt take out. 1/2 green and 1/2 red. I will be back even if I live on the north side of town. Thank you for the nice dinner. read more

Man this was a great place to have breakfast. They just opened back up from fire. We,(wife and daughter and I) were greeted at the door by Dorian. Let me start by saying..Dorian was prompt and laid back but would not let my wife and daughters coffee go empty. We then were blessed to meet Edson. He was also so attentive to our needs and upbeat. Don't wanna drag this review on..but if you are in Eugene stop here. You will not be disappointed. The food and service was perfect. Edson makes his own version of a habanero sauce. This is freaking awesome, hot as hell, but awesome. I had to buy some. Photos are what we ordered. read more

Really nice spot for brunch at completely reasonable prices! My group collectively tried the waffles, French toast, eggs, bacon, and sausage and it was all great! Would definitely recommend. read more

We tried this joint for lunch and were not particularly impressed. The "special" soup of the day was something called Tomato Cheese. It was like a salty, heavy pasta sauce in a cup. Not like any tomato soup I have had and not tasty. The chicken salad sandwich was quite bleak, alone on a large plate. It featured dry, thin raisin bread, a single leaf of lettuce and some unremarkable chopped chicken and onion with turmeric sauce. $13. The spaghetti was a big plate of noodles with some unremarkable tomato sauce. Rolls turned to concrete when they cooled. Salad was ok. $15. Service was average. Ambiance was lacking. Not planning to rush back any time soon. read more

They have a huge menu. Lots of options. The portions are perfect. The food is always great! The service is on point and the atmosphere is very nice. read more

Hadn't tried this place for two years and won't be back for at least another two. The wait was extra long with no one stopping by and giving us status. When food finally came after 35 minutes ( note we ordered at 1 pm so not the busiest time) the burger was a hockey puck, dry and way overcooked. Maybe breakfast items are OK. But they're oh for two. read more

Their takeaway family meals are a STEAL!! We also went for breakfast once, it's a typical ihop style old fashioned diner.

Reopening: A special day today August 20,2020! After a five month period of closer, today was the day shining. March 9th 2020 the Glenwood Restaurant closed its doors. Crazy times! To the family/owners and the family whom work at the Glenwood, thank you for never giving up. Our hearts filled with sadness, out of work, uncertainty when will you re-open. You all know the story of how difficult it was for unemployed to file, owners to qualify for help. The power of faith and the community, they are open today. We have missed you! I have been going to the Glenwood in the mid 70s, when it was in the city of Glenwood. So many beautiful memories, more often I was their twice a day. When they started to open early evenings for desserts, candle light, servers steeped up and played a musical instrument, anyone remember? Jacquy, owner: Thank you. Willamette St location: Your son Edson greeted me at the door. I was second customer to walk in. Day of opening, a badge of honor. The Glenwood is a staple of Eugene, only a few restaurants can hold the honor. Ginger, Marco and yes Edson opened the doors. Ginger, you are a Spirited and beatific women, when you worked the camps location, then to come to the Willamette location, working with Linda, manger at the time. What a power house of hospitality. I was received with the most warm heartfelt family coming together. Hospitality, real gathering of Love as Ginger mentioned. For 18 plus years, I sat at Linda's section. On my day off, I would show up at 6:15 Am, doors do not open until 6:30. Linda had my tomato cheese soup and coffee on the table. Going to miss you Linda. Did I mention Tomato cheese soup, I offered and begged Linda to let me work in the kitchen washing dishes and any chore that needed done (free) Linda knew I was after the recipe of the soup. Not a chance. Faced with the challenge, I brought a home economics teacher and dropped off a pint at a specialty cheese shop, to this day, I cannot come close. Lets say a special thanks to Jacquy, Empty Bowels is a not for profit organization, I have been a part of for 25 years, Jacquy thank you for being a supporter of empty bowels, food for Lane County. The atmosphere has changed, policies and procedures have changed. With booths removed, is has space for a dance floor. I ask you all to be patient, patience will serve you. Look around at the changes. Stained Glass, lighting, air quality, new computer ordering system, we can not go in the back or kitchen area. Edson mentioned all the changes made, and more than the requirements of the state. Always first class! Thank you Edson. OK my order was as usual, Huevos Rancheros, and before, tomato cheese soup. They have not skipped a beet, same over the top delicious. Over the top love and hospitality. Go experience the love. Jacquy thank you and your family and loving regulars who have been part of your dream. Any one whom wants to edit this go for it, this comes from the heart of hearts. a special thanks to Ann and Rich regulars that are in the Pic read more

After a series of very disappointing experiences returning to my favorite restaurants post-pandemic; I was initially scared to return to the Glenwood-- which has been my favorite breakfast spot since I moved here 7 years ago! However, somehow I think it's improved. The food always comes out lightning fast fast (when it isn't busy, within ten minutes of me ordering and somehow hot); I'm a Chef by trade and am constantly in awe, seriously what super powered line-cooks do y'all have back there? The servers are also as friendly as ever! I've seen a lot of new faces and they all seem to have been trained well, are all so nice, and keep their cool in a busy atmosphere: the wait can be pretty long sometimes, but I promise you it's worth it. Don't hesitate to try! read more
