My family rolled in three sandwiches deep fried chicken, hamburger, pulled pork, like we were assembling the Avengers of handheld meat. Every single one showed up and dunked on the others. There was no loser. There was only us, sitting in stunned silence, chewing like we'd just witnessed a religious event. Then the fries arrived with curry dipping sauce and honestly? Rude. Absolutely rude of them to be that good. The cucumber salad was there to make us feel like responsible adults for approximately four bites before we went back to the sandwiches. My daughter has apparently been sneaking off to this place her ENTIRE time at school here and said NOTHING. Not one word. Total gatekeeping. I found out about Zandos the way you find out your kid has a secret second family. Also ... whatever business arrangement Zandos has going with Crow and Cart is an actual game changer. Someone give these people a key to the city. Michelin, I know you're reading this. Get in the car. Im sad that it took 4 years for us to find the best food in Eugene . Like all things I hope one day to be back . Sco Ducks !!

I decided to try three of their popular dishes…read more First, the Fried Chicken Sandwich (spicy) was just okay. The spice level was perfect, but I expected a bigger, juicier chicken breast. Instead, it tasted greasy in every bite. The complimentary specialty sauce also wasn't my favorite. Second, I tried the Cheeseburger (no pickles). I was excited for this one, but it ended up being way too salty. The Porker was definitely the standout. Every bite was flavorful, and the sauce was really good. I'd recommend this one. They also have a beer garden next to the food truck where you can enjoy food and drinks. The atmosphere was clean and nice.

What I like about this place is that the food and vibe feels like going to my auntie's place on a Sunday morning and having her home made breakfasts. I miss that and this place hit that spot.

My boyfriend and I stopped in here for dinner and also brunch the next day…read more I was happy to learn this place is dedicated gluten free and allergen friendly. I am dairy free. 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!! For breakfast this am, I got the chicken and waffles and he got the Elvis waffle. Both were so good! 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.

First time here. Atmosphere is nice, staff is nice. Food..what we ordered, not great…read more For $17....I got gluey, lumpy grits, 2 eggs and 2 pieces of bacon. Only good thing was the egg and the $4.70 mini drop biscuit. Texture was like paste. Bacon, not drained, full of bacon fat flavor (not in a good way). Please take these grits off the menu if you cannot make them correctly. I grew up on these and they do not taste or have this texture. Boyfriend ordered a waffle with berry compote, meh....said waffle was too crunchy.

I just ate at Tiger Mama in the Whit for the first time, and it was amazing…read more Tiger Mama has that Korean pocha feel, where the food, drinks, and atmosphere all belong together. I stopped in for a drink while my to go order was being made and had a Tiger Bomb, a beer with a shot of soju mixed in. The drink was great, and the service was incredibly hospitable. Even though I was just waiting on a to go order, they offered me complimentary banchan, little bites of cabbage, carrots, and cucumber, to snack on while I drank and waited. That was much more hospitality than I expected from simply picking up food. The prices are very reasonable for what you get. The portions are generous, everything tasted fresh, and the food felt genuinely high quality. The Korean fried chicken is really, really good. I got the Volcano sauce, and it is legitimately hot. Not restaurant spicy. Actually spicy. I eat the spiciest of the spicy food, and this was a good 8 out of 10 for me, which is probably a 15 out of 10 for most people. It has serious heat, but plenty of flavor underneath it. The dry rub chicken balanced it perfectly, with a tangy, acidic, savory flavor that cut through the richness and paired really well with the Volcano sauce. Crispy chicken, acid, spice, and a cold beer is a pretty hard combination to beat. I also got the kimbap with spicy pork, and that was amazing too. The rice and fillings tasted really fresh, the pork had a great savory sweetness and heat, and the vegetables added freshness and texture. Every bite had a little bit of everything. Between the food, Tiger Bomb, complimentary banchan, and service, I was already thinking I had found a new place I really liked. Then I got home. The only real downside was unfortunately the tteokbokki, which is ironic because that was the entire reason I found Tiger Mama. It was literally the term I typed into Yelp that led me there. And this is where the review gets complicated. Flavor wise, it was amazing. The sauce was sweet, tangy, savory, and a little spicy, with that deep gochujang flavor you want from tteokbokki. The fish cakes were tender, plentiful, and full of flavor. There were glass noodles, mandu, and half a hard boiled egg, giving it a lot of different textures. It felt like a more elaborate, modern take on the classic Korean dish. The rice cakes themselves were fantastic. Great size, wonderfully tender and chewy, and soaked in that delicious sauce. Honestly, the tteok I did receive might be the best I have had while dining out. My problem was that I received three of them. Three individual rice cakes. In an $18 order of tteokbokki. That was genuinely disappointing. Tteokbokki was why I came here. It was what I searched for and what drew me in. The menu picture showed plentiful, delicious little rice pillows sitting in sauce, which was exactly what I had been craving. Instead, I got a large serving of glass noodles, fish cakes, mandu, sauce, egg, and three rice cakes in a dish named after the rice cakes. If this had been the only thing I ordered, I could easily see myself leaving a sour one star review and never going back. But that would not represent the experience I had. Everything else was too good. As someone who loves Korean cuisine, both cooking it at home and eating it out, I can tell there is a lot of care put into this food. Even the tteokbokki was excellent in every respect except the rice cake quantity. The sauce was perfect, the fish cakes were great, the mandu was a nice surprise, and the sweet, spicy, tangy, savory flavors worked ridiculously well together. It also pairs really well with a beer. Or six. Unfortunately, I live too far away to have noticed until I got home, and they were already closed. I'll call tomorrow, and based on the service I received, I'm confident they'll make it right. Three rice cakes for $18 was genuinely disappointing, but I'm not going to let what seems like one portioning mistake outweigh an otherwise excellent experience. The food, atmosphere, hospitality, and care put into everything were too good. Tiger Mama is a great addition to the Whit, and I'll absolutely be back. Especially for more tteokbokki. Hopefully next time, more than three.

But we had a meal here where multiple dishes were not well prepared and it seems like something is going amiss with this otherwise great place... It doesn't make sense to serve pajeon (crispy pancake) on a sizzling metal platter. Yes, it's always exciting when a sizzling thing is dropped onto the table, but it char-burned the bottom of the pancake! It was fully black on one side and not edible. I had to ask them to bring a normal plate to pull it off the sizzle platter and save as much of the pancake as we could... but it was too late. To the server's credit, he comped the pancake. The servers are always very nice and fast here. This is the kind of choice that's style over substance, going for presentation that looks flashy but lacks common sense...

We got a table pretty much immediately. We sat outside, initially at a table right by the wall. We could smell the dumpster so it wasn't great, but once another table opened we were offered the option to move and we took it. The new table was much better - no smell and it was next to a heater so it was nice and cozy. The outdoor patio is pretty cute and the fresh air was nice! I have a soy allergy so I had to ask the waitress for an allergen list to make sure I would be okay. They were very nice and accommodating and told me what was and wasn't safe to eat. I ended up getting the focaccia with white bean paste, something I was skeptical of but really liked! The bread was super delicious and the bean paste was well-seasoned. The little slice of lemon it came with was a great topper for it all too. I would definitely get it again! I also got the sparkling lavender lemonade and it was so so good. It was perfectly balanced and I couldn't stop drinking it. The food was all pretty affordable which I appreciated. Lunch and drinks for two people was about $35. They don't do tipping here, they actually pay their employees a livable wage which is fantastic. They have a pay it forward program you can donate cash to instead, it goes towards breakfast for people in need. The employees seemed happy and were very friendly. They seemed to really enjoy working here which is always a good sign. I will definitely be back here. The people are friendly and the food is delicious. They are wholesome people doing important work and we should all be supporting them. Go here!
