    Food Cart

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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!

    Tried out ColdFire Brewing Company and had a really good experience overall. The food was solid,…read moreservice was fine, and the fried pickle appetizer plus the chips were definitely worth ordering. My only complaint was that they were out of mac and cheese as a side order, but somehow still had it available if you ordered the rib platter, a little confusing. What really makes this place stand out is the great selection of beers and cocktails. The space feels clean, modern, and new, which makes it an easy place to hang out. I just wish they had a larger outdoor seating area instead of the small patio with only a few chairs. Overall, we'll definitely be back for the food and drinks. Cheers!

    We went to their new public house for dinner on a Wednesday and the place was hopping. Their new…read morebuilding is very cool (and not quite done yet!). The new public house is pretty much behind their original spot, overlooking Coburg Road. We sat in a booth with very tall walls that felt very private but I don't feel like I could tell you the vibe of the rest of the restaurant. Since I was sitting in the back of the booth, I could only see two other tables that were along the windows and the traffic going by in the dark. Next time we'll ask not to sit in a booth so we can see more of the restaurant. Our server informed us that the public house was split into two sections. We were in the full-service restaurant part and there was a more casual (order at the counter?) section by the front door for people that just wanted to grab a beer and sit at a communal table. Our server was excellent. Not the typical Eugene service from him! He answered our questions about the beers and brought us tastes and had all the answers ready about the food. They were out of two things (understandable at such a new spot) but I noticed that they had already changed their menu a few times in the few short weeks they've been opened. Yay for seasonal menus!! Our party went super basic and we all ordered the Butter Burger (the butter is mixed into the patty so it helps the burger caramelize) which came with fries. We also split the grilled potato salad(served chilled), which was a good sized portion to split with our group of five. My kiddo got the wings (sauceless) and fries. We'll be back to try more of the menu items and sit at a table without walls.
