My burger wasnt cooked correctly. The fries were amazing. My husband had fish and chips and 2 over easy eggs. He said his fries were amazing and the eggs but not the cod from fish and chips. No one was wearing masks including the works and it they were wearing them they were on wrong and would do no good. Prices are good. I have ate here b4 a couple yrs ago and they were amazing. Idk what happened.

The bar has live bands on weekends. Has a dance floor. They have good drinks with reasonable prices. The cocktail waitresses and bartender are friendly. The Embers bar has been there for decades and has a loyal following of patrons. Everybody there was extremely friendly and welcoming. The parking lot is shot and needs to be replaced but theres lots of space. The door into the bar is not handicapped accessible unless someone opens and holds the door for you which someone did every time-the people of Eugene are extremely helpful and friendly.Please click on or LIKE below if you found this review helpful

I was not very impressed with the food. It seems to have progressively gotten worse over the years. It used to be one of the best places to eat in town. Now, I dont think so. I give it 2 stars maybe.

Great food! Possibly the best country fried steak in town! Crispy coating and great gravy. Delicious home fries and bacon too!

Shrimp cocktail was bomb. Bartender was good. Waitress was a little slow. And then I had my backpack stolen. So just keep watch of your belongings while you are there.

It was the worst experience we have had going for dinner. The food took forever (over 1 1/2 hours) all together. Ordered prime rib and both came out cooked wrong also the Tacos we ordered were burnt.. They werent busy and I asked about the wait on our food 3 times and no one cared. Its close to my house but noy worth it at all..

The food was good, solid stick-to-your ribs stuff.We both had the Chicken-Fried Steak, and I also ordered some biscuits and gravy, to try them out.Portion sizes were enough that we had plenty for later.The gravy was good, with a nice spice array, and fine quantities of sausage; but, a little over-the-top on salt.The biscuits were nicely dense, just as a good B&G plate should be.Hash browns were, as requested, nicely crispy.The eggs were cooked to order (over-easy) and not overdone, but seemed to be lacking in flavor, though, that cannot be held against the establishment.The lavatory, however, was the weak spot. It wasnt that it was dirty - it wasnt. But, it was poorly maintained, and the stall door latch didnt work at all. The only thing holding the door closed was friction from the damaged, and no longer aligned, door, which had to be pounded back into place after leaving the stall.If they would get around to replacing that stall wall and door, that would bring the score up considerably. It wasnt like the damage was recent.That said, I am looking forward to trying out their dinner menu sometime.

They consistently have some of the best staples of Americana grub Ive ever had! Service is almost always very good, super friendly and attentive! We got there during the Sunday brunch rush today so it took awhile to get our food and even then with being slammed our waitress was very nice and apologetic. Highly recommended!

The bartenders are awesome, the crowd is mostly chill and the karaoke on Sunday is top notch. I like the chill atmosphere and the drinks are reasonably priced plus the food is good. I highly recommend this place.

Review №27

Kariokee, Oregon Lottery, and mixed drinks with good company make this little dive, worth it. Its dark inside, but the bartender, i forget her name, is a hoot. She knows all the locals and its good to see, especially in a bar, that she truely, in my opinion, cares for them. So this dive gets a high 5, and i give it 3 stars

Review №29

The staff was friendly, theFood was good, and the portion size was huge; however the place looks and feels like a business that is dying and the building was dilapidated as well as freezing cold. It was so cold I ate without removing my wool blend overcoat. My dining partner said the bathroom was even colder than the dining room. 5 stars for service and food but less than one for the rest of the experience. I wanted to give them 4 stars, but that would have been misleading.

Great place for drinks and good food. A really nice bartender there is a fellow Sarah. She is very friendly and lots of fun. I came there after an after party to continue having fun with some new friends and we really did choose the best spot. It was a pleasant surprise for me because I never usually go to that part of town.

I’ve been going to the embers for a short period of time in my experience the workers are all fairly nice just extremely lacking direction while there are a couple employees that know what they are doing most seem like they have been hired off the street with little to no training I’ve recently found out that the current manager has already ran her own personal bar into the ground and I would hate to see somthing like that happen due to the extremely poor management while I very much enjoy this bar the only problem I see with the establishment is management because the employees are nice and usually willing to be of service. I like the embers and while I’m going to continue to go there I just wish the manager would take initiative and do what she is supposed to do. Like train and enforce equal work loads I’ve seen bartenders leave the bar for the next shift absolutely trashed this is unacceptable.

Waited a half hour for a burger in an empty house. When it finally came to the table, I didnt get what I ordered. When I mention to the server that they messed up my order she says, What... are you allergic to that?. Terrible service. Just terrible. Over-priced too.

This lil place was hit with a huge breakfast rush. And the blonde with long pony tail worked so hard to serve alot of people all at once, the bartender seem to try to help but the waitress really impressed me a lot. She never crumbled under the pressure.

The Karaoke leaves something to be desired but Im not getting up there so kudos to them. The food is standard but done well actually. We have been 2 times and the first time was a great experience. He was very friendly and checked on us at the right times. The second time a young lady took forever to follow up on things and seemed like other things were more important. Sidenote: we were one of 2 families in the dining side and the other family had the same issue .

Not a lot of breakfast joints in this part of town, so we tried Embers and were pleasantly surprised. The dining area is decent and the food was fresh. Definatly a notch above. Great friendly service. We will be back.

Review №62

This place used to be awesome with great food and service. Went in today and had to listen to a employee that was not working tell the world her life story very loudly while demeaning her grandkids and distracting the staff with her foul language. We were one of 3 tables in the whole place and it took 20 minutes to take our order and then took almost 30 minutes to get subpar food - there was more staff than patrons makes no sense that it took so long. This place has gone seriously downhill. There has been zero upkeep...the carpet is ripped up, the tables are wobbly and dirty.

It’s a mom and pop restaurant/bar grill. It’s still a classic from my childhood days. Still serving large servings and great food to sit down to eat. Had breakfast with an old friend from the old neighborhood. Good place to sit down, eat some good grub and put a couple of dollars in the VP machine.

Amazing Service! Super friendly waitress and good food. We went to try the chicken fried steak and it was good... Not great, but good.Again, the place was so full of good energy, except for the distance from the house, it was a nice visit.We continue our quest for the best chicken fried steak in the greater Eugene area!

The Embers has good food the atmosphere is great and the Saturday morning bartender is to die for, shes really awesome, down to earth. They basically have 2 sides divided by a partition which allows minors when needed. The only thing that kept me from giving 5 stars is that it does need some remodeling with that , it is an overall gem.It tends to be an older crowd most of the time. Must visit!

My family and I went here for breakfast a little after 11am, we stood and waited to be seated and no one seated us so we sat down finally assuming to seat ourselves. We ordered, I waited for 30 minutes before the waitress brought my orange juice, noticed a cat climbing a buffet table in what I hope was a storage room, looked down and saw the carpet hadn’t been vacuumed in days, and then I saw the used boxers on the floor under the table!!The waitress was sitting with a cook who was on his 3rd screwdriver and by 45 minutes as my family got up to leave, the cook yelled at the waitress to come get the damn food.We weren’t sticking around.

The staff was friendly but the breakfast was lacking flavor, none of the orders came out together. Everything took forever to come out. When we finally got coffee at the table we still had to ask for coffee cups. It just seemed very disorganized and took twice as long as it should have.
