Extremely rude server with short dark hair. Came out to the boarding area and snatched my drink off of my table yelling loudly - " no drinks in this area" and marching back into the restaurant. There are no signs that state "No alcohol beyond this point". This could have been handled in a much more professional manner. read more

Chelsea is such a pleasure! We had a delightful time while awaiting our flight with some drinks. My mother complimented her purple pen when signing our receipts and she was sweet enough to gift it to her ! Will be back again when I fly through Eugene just to try the food! read more

I had a spicy chicken noodle dish. It was filling and I was impressed with the solid amount of chicken, but I just didn't like the flavor. It was nice to have a place to sit and enjoy a meal though. And the service was quick and friendly enough. To be honest I might stop in again if I was starving but I'll be more likely to pack my own snacks. read more

Has anyone ever posted a great review of airport food? I hear rumors this situation is improving, but this is certainly my first! Willamette Grill at the Eugene, Oregon Airport, was unexpected. With our evening arrival, we enjoyed a really good dinner. We just ordered hamburgers, but they were great. When leaving a few days later, we stopped in for breakfast. Very nice indeed, with fresh ingredients. Give this a try if you are in the area. What a nice, and convenient, surprise. Helpful staff as well. read more

Service of food was pretty slow, which I can see being not the best for airport situations. But I noticed that there was not much workers, so that could've been the cause. I got the soup of the day, which at the time was Mama Leone's soup. And the soup was amazing. It's basically a chicken soup, with a tomato cream based and had other ingredients such as spinach in it. Loved the soup. The employee was super nice, and there are seat choices for more comfort. Also the airport, but the the place was easy-going, which is nice to have at a airport restaurant. read more

This sit down eating establishment is accessible via Gate B at the EUG airport once you are past security, and also just before security. The two sides are divided by a glass wall. I ate on the gate B side where there is a bar, TVs playing sports and a guitar you can grab and play. Service was friendly and enjoyed the chop salad with honey mustard dressing. read more

Surprisingly tasty breakfast sandwich! I wasn't looking forward to my plane wait so it was nice to find somewhere I could grab a bite. This place is a great little addition to the airport. read more

It's an airport grill, so temper your expectations. The staff turns over pretty often, so service is hit and miss. But I'm an uber driver, and I often park and run in for eggs, bacon, potatoes, in addition to surprisingly good coffee. I do take out, or eat in the dining section. It's weirdly good, like breakfast prepared by machine learning, and it travels well (to my car, and beyond). And short term parking is free for the first 30 minutes, so it's sort of a great secret. read more

I'm rat8ng at a *one* star based on service only. It was not evident that food and beverages could not be ordered from tables. The wait staff walked by multiple times and didn't bother to mention that orders must be placed at coffee counter. I literally sat at a table for 25 minutes, made eye contact multiple times. Nothing. read more

Stone cold food. Poor, slow service. Eat before you get there bc this is a waste of time and money.

Was shocked at the quality of food and service here. My quesadilla was huge (too big for one person) and really, really tasty. Best airport food and service I have ever had!! read more

Had a quick lunch before boarding a flight to SFO. A simple Willamette Club with tater tots did the trick!

Not really fancy or exceptional, but it served our needs for a good burger. Every time I come here there is only ever one person to run the register, take orders and serve food and drinks while cleaning off the tables. This review does not reflect the waitstaff who really have the hustle going. Her service, politeness and hustle earned her a nice tip indeed. The food however was a mix of good and bad. I had the barbecue burger with fries. The fries were the shoe string variety. They came out warm, greasy and limp. The burger however, was cooked perfectly. A nice sized thick patty with just a hint of pink in the middle was served hot on a brioche bun. Besides some toasted onion rings, there was a melted slice of cheddar on the burger which also included some fresh lettuce that was firm and crisp, onion slices that were so fresh you'd think they were cut two minutes ago (and just might have been) and a cold sliced fresh tomato. The blend of hot meat with cold veggies makes for an excellent burger, which had just enough barbecue sauce without overdoing it. This IS a bit of a messy affair, so be sure to have some napkins handy and lean over the plate! The light fixture that was dangling down over the table was just a little too bright at almost eye level, so I unscrewed the bulb a bit, much better. This is in an open area of the airport, so this particular diner is more functional than entertainment. I would have gone four stars but the fries were disappointing. Also, don't forget to get your receipt stamped as it serves to validate your parking. read more

Very unique setup I haven't seen before at an airport. Their kitchen services both pre- and post-security customers. We ordered from the counter near the TSA checkpoint but it wasn't until I flew out later that day that I could see they have a glass wall contained dining room for those awaiting planes. I felt a little bad for the host/waitress because she seemed to doing the job of two or three as she raced to get hot food onto tables while taking orders from the front counter. We both ordered the Willamette Club but I got tots which was an excellent move. They don't look like much on the plate, but they had a nice crunch with a slight bitterness that was addicting. I don't like dressings and condiments but the waitress said their club didn't have any and it didn't. However, it was pretty slathered in butter. It was tasty too but guilt-inducing. Their takeaway containers are paper which is amazing. Their pricing is what you'd expect at an airport: about $15 - 18 per entree. I removed a star because they don't offer many choices. You can get the club, a BLT, tenders, grilled chicken sandwich, quesadillas, crispy chicken salad or a cheeseburger. $4 to upgrade your side to onion rings or a side salad. At least a couple of healthy options would have been appreciated at EUG's only sit down concession. read more

Horrible service and I accommodating hours. 4 pm on a Friday night- CLOSED!? Server was rude. Was not offered a menu. Don't come here.

Easily the rudest server I've ever had. Why would anyone stop here? It's the only exterior bar outside of security. Avoid this place like the plague and stay behind security to avoid "customer no service". They close at 4pm on Friday, which in and of itself is a joke. My wife tried to swap out her wine (the Pinot Grigio is bad), the server said it was too close to her closing time and took her glass. Real classy. And guess what, the server doesn't care, clearly the owner doesn't either. read more

Garbage (probably) tastes better than the trash that this place sells. I paid $15 for an overpriced and undercooked cheeseburger. I had requested that it be well done, but I guess I was expecting too much. Do yourself a favor and buy food from a vending machine or anywhere else before spending even a nickel at this ripoff joint. The only thing they've got going for them is the monopoly of being the only franchise at the Eugene airport. read more

Sat for 45 minutes in the bar and no one came over to take an order. Service here is typically like this but it's the only sit down place in the airport. read more

Got stuck at Eugene Airport for four hours. Nearest open restaurant was $25 cab ride away one way, so I decided to eat at the airport restaurant, Williamette Bar & Grill. So glad I did! The omelette was huge and delicious and cooked to perfection! If I lived closer, I'd come here for breakfast regularly! Service was great too. Not crowded even on the day before thanksgiving!?! read more

We arrived at the airport starving and ate downstairs at the Willamette grill.I was amazed to open the menu and find an entree made for me! I am a Vegan with quite a few eating restrictions. Yum! Veggie skewers with brown rice and quinoa. My travel companions had burgers, sandwiches etc. And I gotta say the tater tots were amazing.. fried crispy and light. Best of all we had a wonderful, patient waitress! Now, I am NOT giving it 5 stars because it was some kind of upscale fine dining, I am giving it five stars because it was simple food, prepared and served well, in a very unexpected location. read more

Super friendly staff. Guy at the bar was saying how good the chowder was. Heather was my waitress and was knowledgeable about the menu and recommended the fish n chips made with halibut and their own coleslaw with jalapeños in it. I asked how is the breading on it, she asked how do you like it, we have a great kitchen. I also asked for a not to hoppy beer and she was right on with the one she served me. Ill start with the coleslaw which I am normally not a fan of. This was unique, it had more of a vinegar based dressing and a few thinly sliced jalapeños in it. The acidity was nice and went well with the fish n chips. Hand cut fries, need I say more...the halibut was cooked perfectly with a light batter, nice and moist, not overcooked like you get most of the time. Nice little find of a restaurant, especially in an airport. read more

Kayla is incredible give great service and is very respondant to Managment and customers. Great arrive and made the experience better on all aspects. Please keep her on staff and give her a raise. Wow, incredible as a staff member, she should run this place. Very competent tactical and relationship wise with both peers and customers!!! read more

It might be just me, but when I order something I expect there to be flavor and that any salt or pepper I might add would be because I'm looking for an extra kick, and I almost never put salt on my food. But when I have to put something on my food just to try and enjoy eating it, something isn't right. The shrimp scampi was really disappointing which is a shame because it doesn't really take much to make it good. The shrimp was cooked well but didn't taste like anything. The pasta was fine too, but also didn't taste like anything. The green onions looked like they had been ripped apart instead of chopped so that was interesting. And I didn't even attempt at the tomatoes because of how they were put on the plate, which I understand sounds a bit snobbish, but I like presentation. Now the service was really nice so this place wasn't all bad. And while I didn't have any alcoholic beverages, from what I was over hearing around me, they have a good draft selection, which isn't surprising. read more

This place is so dirty and the staff are unfriendly. I was actually punished by the waitress/ hostess, because o walked into her empty bar, without being seated. When I ask her for service, very politely, she let me know that I came in and seated myself without her. Very rude. Not a good welcome to Eugene. read more

Went to order no one was there waited then went to sit down until someone showed up. Well she did you can't sit down until you order. Well there needs to be someone here to order from lady. Her attitude continues with well if you're had so much time to look at the menu what do you want. I went into the back for 5 minutes. When she brought the food it was put on the table with an attitude and no thank you she just left. Her and another employee are standing in the back by the bar staring at us now the other couple left said they didn't need her attitude. read more

Hopefully eating at Willamette Grill is easier than finding their current website... but it's worth the trouble. My wife travels often and she's found a dining friend at the airport under whatever if their current name? Please try their Open faced salmon salad , hold the bread, as the salmon filet on lettuce was more than ample , moist and not over cooked.. Plus very tasty french fries. We probably won't drive that far from East Eugene just for lunch but we might just for dinner as she's had this specialty twice before departure and it was comparable to the best salmon served in two of our more local dining spots here in Eugene... Just try it, you won't be disappointed and I've got over 10,000 followers on Yelp so I hope they don't run out before you get there.. read more

Where to begin..... I was asked if I wanted to sit at the bar or dinning. I chose the bar. I sat until my plane was getting ready to board with not one person taking my order. It was if I was not there. Which is hard to do because I was one of zero other POC at the restaurant or airport. I have bright red hair so I am hard to not notice. I don't know why they never spoke to me but it was frustrating. I refused to say anything bc I probably would have lost it. Being busy is not excuse. read more

This is my first of many trips to Eugene and I travel a lot, I have over two million miles, best restaurant at an airport except for FCO. The service is amazing and for pub style food it was tasty, good, reasonably priced, great in a different less non grease way. My server Kayla and I only know one other bartender that makes such great drinks. She had exceptional customer service. I will be back again ! read more

I always stop here before heading out of town (about 3 times a month). My bartender, Lisa, knows what I drink and has it ready as I am sitting down. She is always friendly and runs the bar like a well-oiled machine. The corn chowder is delicious and my favorite sandwich is the hummus wrap, add chicken! The beer selection is plentiful, representing local brews. It is great place to relax before a flight. read more

Landed before my ride could pick me up, so I stopped here to grab a beer at 6:45pm. Was greeted by a rude waitress/barback who loudly declared they were "closing soon" so she had to give a check to someone else, and walked away. So as not to disturb her on-time closing, which was obviously imperative, I left... sans beer. An interesting restaurant operating procedure, but okay. Good luck with that. read more

The staff here is amazing. So friendly and helpful! There are multiple charging stations for electronics in the bar. The bartender recommended the Steak Salad. It was honestly the best meal I had in Eugene/Springfield during my two-day stay. If you're flying out of EUG, make time to stop here for a pre-flight meal or drink. It's a great place to relax before your flight! read more

Love the new bar, frequent traveler unfortunately the staff doesn't take care of the customers, been in a few times where there is no bartender and a couple times where there is and they are preoccupied with other issues and staff and not looking out for the consumer... a good bartender makes a world of difference! read more
