    Food Cart
    Albert T.

    For a quick lunch on the way up to Portland, we decided to stop by Zandos, a food cart right next door to the Crow & Cart bar. While the bar allows Zando's customers to use their facilities and tables, we were a bit short on time and decided to eat in the car. All the food seems to be freshly cooked and fried, resulting in about a 15 minute wait. While my food was being prepared, the aroma of what kind of smelled like white pepper and five spice wafted out of the truck, along with the fry oil. This is a smell I more associate with Taiwanese fried chicken, so I found it pretty interesting. Fried Chicken Sandwich, Medium ($12) - Two pieces of chicken, one a thigh and the other seeming to be a chicken tender, are stuffed in between a pressed toasted bun. The chicken is fried to a dark golden brown in what appears to be a cornflake-ish breading, filled with little nooks and crannies, giving the appearance that it would be exceptionally crisp and crunchy. Appearances can be deceiving. It's actually a rather delicate crisp, with some portions softened by the more moisturous elements in the sandwich. Those include cucumbers and pickled red onions on top, and mayo spread on both buns. The cucumbers are an interesting addition and not wholly unwanted. They add a somewhat cooling effect to counteract some of the spiciness from the medium heat level. Actually eating the sandwich rightside up results in some discomfort from the amount of heat, whereas eating it upsidedown dissipates some of the heat from the action of the cucumber. (4/5) Fries, Curry Mayo ($5) - These are potato wedge fries, which I believe are made by first peeling whole potatoes, par boiling, then slicing and finally frying. This creates a crispy, crackly crust on the exterior due to the rough layer of softened starch on the cut segments. The interior still remains creamy and tender. The fries are served fresh from the fryer, hot and steaming enough to burn. They are tossed with kosher salt as soon as they come out, which allows the salt to adhere well, making the fries uniformly salty but not too salty. As the dipping sauce, we went with the curry mayo, which is essentially a creamy dip with curry powder mixed in. It's a nice sauce that isn't found around often in the US. (5/5) Zandos certainly serves some good food! It was perfect for my needs and I left happy and full.

    My boyfriend and I visited the other day because there were so many good reviews and it did NOT disappoint! The guy working was super nice and seemed to put a lot of love into his food. My burger was cooked perfectly and was easy one of the best burgers I've had! Boyfriend likes spicy Friend chicken and was thrilled that his nose was running lol. The fries are more like jojos but by golly they were good! I was so fully but couldn't stop eating them! The spicy curry dipping saice was great too! We sat inside Crow and Cart which was super cute. We live up the McKenzie but will be visiting when we come to town for sure!

    Great seating inside and patio!

    Is Zandos the best burger in Eugene? Maybe it is. If you like a big burger with toppings then Zandos is definitely in this conversation. I'll say for sure, 100% without a doubt the Zandos burger is better than 95% + of restaurant burgers around. Are the Zandos fries the best fries in town? Well... it is again a fair question. Do you like crispy thick cut fries? If you do then you really should get some here. The fries are fantastic. Chicken sandwich is 10 out of 10 too. So good! Is Zandos Curry Mayo the best dipping sauce for French fries in Eugene? Do you have to ask? If you like your food prepared with care and you like tasty sandwiches, Zandos is a must visit. Take your food to go, eat it on your tailgate or belly up to the bar at the neighboring Crow & Cart for a pint or a cocktail or a soda! Patio seating and indoors are both super nice.

    Tried this spot yesterday with my boyfriend, we were both super pleased with the food! Burgers + ingredients were really fresh and juicy. I love the added cucumbers to the burgers honestly, very refreshing. I'l definitely be back for a burger! The fries were good but not really my jam, just a bit too crispy for me, but they were still good. The burgers here are the star though. Service was friendly! We just ate in the car but they have a bar nextdoor with outdoor seating, I saw some people eating it there.

    Cheeseburger and Fries

    This is the best burger in Eugene. Every element is cared for. The bun is toasted to perfection. The meat is juicy. The quick pickles add some acid and crunch while balancing everything out. If you want a burger in Eugene you should get one here.

    One word: WOW. The fried chicken sandwich was perfect: hot, crispy, tender meat. Topped with marinated(?) cucumber slices and onion. Fabulous bun too. My hubby ordered the porker and fries. Porker has shredded pork and a patty of fried pork. Definitely won't go hungry here! The fries are thick but nice and crispy. We are ours at the pub next door, which encourages to do so. Fantastic dinner!!!!

    The Cuke Salad was refreshing and, oddly, felt perfectly at home amongst a burger and fries.
    Chris M.

    Zandos is great! Jeff is friendly, and such a good chef. The chicken sandwich was I got half spice and the spice nicely accented the chicken. The breading was perfectly crunchy, and kept the chicken as the star. Some chicken sandwiches feel really heavy and leave you feeling greasy, but not this one. The pickled cucumbers, pickled red onions, and the bun rounded out the supporting cast for an amazing ensemble. The cuke salad was really refreshing. Japanese-inspired, the salad fits surprisingly well on a menu of burgers and fries. It's fresh and the rice vinegar cuts through the the oils (as light as they are) of the other dishes. Speaking of fries, these are unlike any other I've ever had. They were crispy on the outside, and smooth on the inside (not starchy like most steak fries). You get a healthy portion of fries, but don't feel gross after finishing. And don't forget the curry mayo! Last, but certainly not least, the cheeseburger was so good. The patty was cooked to a perfect medium rare, and the flavors melded together so well. For a 1/3 lb patty, the burger is filling, but doesn't sit heavy. All in all, we loved Zandos and we'll definitely be back!

    Chicken sando and the porker!

    Th food was excellent! We got a chicken sandwich and a porker, both were so delicious and fresh! Jeff is so friendly and kind. We also got French fries (yum!!!) so crispy and the CURRY MAYO is the best fry dip I think I've had! We will definitely be back!

She's a local and has worked at some of the best coffee shops in Eugene, and you can tell. She knows her craft always great service. The coffee art is always on point, and the service is consistently great. I actually check to see when she's working because I know it'll be dialed in. I'm vegan and there are plenty of options, which I appreciate. I had the Lovely Bowl this time -- fresh, flavorful, and filling without feeling heavy. Their juices are amazing too. Everything tastes clean and fresh. Kudos to the kitchen for how efficient they are -- food comes out quick and well done every time. I've had both breakfast and lunch here and it's all been solid. Sat outside with my dog, who loves hanging out and chilling while I drink my coffee. It's a clean, relaxed space and just easy to enjoy. What a lovely place. I'll keep coming back -- especially when Emily's behind the bar.

    There are restaurants that seduce you with promise, and others that test your patience before…read morerevealing their intent. Lion & Owl, on this particular morning, proved to be both--a place of evident talent, yet uneven discipline, where flashes of brilliance are offset by lapses that no serious kitchen should permit. Let us begin with the triumph. The buckwheat pancakes arrive not merely as breakfast, but as a composition. A stack of admirable loft and structure--evidence of a properly developed batter, handled with restraint and precision. The crumb is airy yet resilient, each bite yielding gently before dissolving into a delicate nuttiness inherent to buckwheat. A caramelized banana sauce pools generously, glossy and fragrant, its sweetness tempered by the cultured tang of crème fraîche. Toasted coconut chips scatter across the top like crisp punctuation, lending both aroma and texture. This is cooking that understands balance--sweetness checked by acidity, softness lifted by crunch, comfort elevated by technique. It is, quite simply, a five out of five dish. The kitchen, here, remembers what it means to nourish and delight. And then--alas--we encounter its counterpoint. The mushroom brioche toast, in conception, should be a study in harmony: buttery bread, earthy fungi, silken eggs, fresh greens. Yet the execution falters at its very foundation. The brioche--so essential, so central--is pushed past the threshold of caramelization into bitterness. In a bread so rich with butter and sugar, precision is everything; overcook it, and the entire structure collapses under a shadow of char. The garnish, too, feels careless--large stems of greenery draped without intention, rather than composed with purpose. It is a dish that looks promising from a distance but betrays its flaws upon inspection. A two out of five--a failure not of imagination, but of discipline. The brie and truffle macaron arrives as an afterthought--set aside, unannounced, uncentered, as though it were a spare utensil rather than a composed pastry. Presentation matters. It signals care. Here, there is none. And the macaron itself? A confection that should whisper with delicacy instead resists with age. The shell is hardened, the interior overly chewy--signs of time having passed unkindly. The flavor is confused: a sweet, almost vanilla shell encasing a mild, savory filling of whipped brie and timid truffle. Neither side asserts itself; neither yields to the other. It is neither dessert nor savory course, but a muddled compromise. A two out of five, and left unfinished--a silent verdict more damning than words. The mimosa, I am told, is bright and pleasing, though presented without flourish--a small omission, but telling in a restaurant aspiring to polish. A four out of five, competent yet unadorned. The pour-over coffee reveals a lighter roast profile: bright acidity at the fore, a nutty mid-palate, a gently lingering finish. It is, as you observed, "hipster coffee"--intentionally expressive, though perhaps too acidic for a more classical palate. On flavor alone, a three out of five. Yet the experience is marred by a most unforgivable intrusion: a hair in the initial cup. Such a thing should never reach a guest. Ever. And beyond the plate--there is service. Dishes arriving out of sequence. Eggs meant for one guest appearing with another's delayed entrée. A table divided, one diner finished while the other waits. Explanations that do not align with reality. Items placed without acknowledgment or intention. These are not minor stumbles; they are fractures in the very architecture of hospitality. The Verdict Lion & Owl is a restaurant caught between what it is capable of and what it consistently delivers. There is real talent in this kitchen--evident in the pancakes, in the conceptual ambition of the menu, in flashes of thoughtful composition. But talent without rigor is unreliable. And hospitality without coordination is hollow. For every moment of genuine pleasure, there is another of carelessness--overcooked bread, stale pastry, inattentive plating, lapses in cleanliness, and disjointed service. In the end, one must judge the whole, not the highlights. Overall score: 2 out of 5. A restaurant with promise--undeniably--but one that must remember that excellence is not achieved in moments. It is achieved in consistency, in care, and in respect for the guest at every stage of the meal. Until then, Lion & Owl remains... a place that almost is.

Busy but they had a table for us. Very nice decor, rotating menu. We had the buckwheat pancakes with caramelized bananas, dates, and pineapple syrup which was sweet but not overly so since the pancakes underneath were not touched by the syrup ended up being a really nice balance. Bacon was like a cross between pork belly and bacon (very thick) but really tasty. Breakfast Sando was good with in-house ground pork and a nice aioli. We also tried the savory macarons (Brie and truffle) which are delicious. Creamy and a tad sweet. Not too much truffle. Coffee was a bright tangy pour over-not my favorite type but some people really like that style. Oh, and we had a blood orange mimosa which was really good Overall an excellent experience! Definitely going to again when we are in town!

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.
