There were sparse customers having breakfast in the atmosphere of a restaurant and a bar, but I sat at the bar and drank beer. She was a kind bartender and it seems like a place where you can take a break in the morning.

Decided to stay in that area due to the close proximity of the airport. Area looks a little bit rough but we walked down to the Embers and had a wonderful time... food was good and reasonable, listen to some karaoke, had a nice feel due to all the locals. The karaoke was the most fun!

I love this place! I cannot say anything bad at all. Parking I thought was going to be an issue, but its not. Theres more parking along the side & back of Embers. They have live music which is the best. I know The Survivors that play at Embers every 3rd weekend of the month & they are just about as spectacular as you could imagine & Im not just saying that cause I know them. I say that cause they really are the best band Ive heard & they play at Embers which has the BEST food EVER!!!

Food was ok, typical bar food. Service was slow and had to ask for refills on drinks. Had to ask for our bill so we could leave our waitress just kinda disappeared. Place was also on the noisey side which I could not understand because it was only 11am

This was your classic senior center dive bar. But it was one of the friendliest dive bars Ive been to, with some of the best food. Owners/management was extremely friendly and courteous, local color looked like we just pitched a tent in their front yard. I would definitely recommend this place, just use the buddy system as there is safety in numbers.

Place was good, bigger than it looks. It looks like they have a couple signature dishes, see pictures and get the emberized. Menu is big. Taps are Bud, Bud Light, Coors Light, Widmer hef, Sweet As, Boneyard RPM, Citrus Misstress, and a Cider. Looks like they do live music here but I dont know what days. Cheers.

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 expecting a typical dive bar/pub food experience, but while the menu is definitely not health food, it also is some of the best pub grub Ive ever tasted. Absolutely going to become a go to when I want old fashioned comfort food!

Best Sunday Breakfast in West Eugene. Bloody Mary Spicy, Vegetarian omelette with hash browns and toast everything was hot delicious and fresh. it can take awhile to get your food sometimes because they get busy but it is well worth the wait plenty of free parking in handicap access.

We had lots of fun playing the trivia game. Although we came in last place, we didnt necessarily lose, because last place gets to pick the category for the next trivia game night.Our server was very good and really friendly, she always had a smile and was attentive and punctual to everything.The food was good and filling, my girlfriend and I shared a Fish & Chips and still had some leftovers 🤤My only reason for the 4 ⭐ is because of the obviously homeless person who came in to get out of the rain and decided to come over to our table and slyly made his way into the conversation and in my opinion was hoping to look like he was with us so he wouldnt be kicked back out into the rain. (🤷🏼‍♂️ Thats the vibe I was getting from him anyway).All in all, I would recommend Embers and I do plan on going back.

Red Thunder band is FIRE ! My first visit I walked into a room full of friends I didnt know existed. From the staff to the patrons, and the house band Red Thunder I aint no spring chicken, so I know a good thing when I see it. And this place and the fine folks in it is the real deal. You owe it to yourself to check it out.

We love to dance and Red Thunder provides great music! The food is good. My only negative was the last bartender did not make a good drink. I will return. Perhaps it was a new bartender or he was having an off day. I recommend this establishment!

As I dig through the map on my sales trips, I’m always on the lookout for something different. The fact that this place had finger steaks and I haven’t had them in…. Forever sure helped my decision.The place looks rundown from the outside but it was kept clean inside. It wasn’t anything special regarding decor but it is a bar / diner, so I wasn’t expecting a lot.Their menu had a lot more on it than I would have figured considering the kind of place that it is. Usually they are limited. But they had a large variety.I did of course order the finger steaks and TOTS (duh) LOL. TOTS, we’re cooked perfectly and well seasoned. The finger steaks were tender and not tough or chewy. The flavor was good but I kept using this chipotle or pepper aioli that they had which was delicious.The waitress was extremely friendly and attentive. Though they had a light staff as she had to keep going back to wash dishes.I was there during the day, so I can’t speak to any of the nightlife or evening entertainment. But they had a chalk calendar that seemed full for the month.

We had an awesome experience here, we drove 13 hours from Boise Idaho on vacation when United Airlines grounded us and we ended up driving straight to get home. We found this gem when the roads iced over, the wood paneling and old school atmosphere was just what we needed after a 20 hour day. The regulars were cool and invited us right in. Great food and a great atmosphere. Our server/bartender was Leyleh was great and always kept the drinks coming and always checked on us. I highly recommend this for anyone 21 and up

I have been going here for years and love the people that have become regular fixtures here. Live music and karaoke weekly creates a fun place to go and hang out. This is mostly a older group of people ranging from 49 - 99 years young.

Good breakfast place, poor dinner choice if you want to eat in the diner during nights with live entertainment. The wait staff leans towards the bar crowd because thats where the tips are. My service was slow and once I received my meal I never saw my waitress until I got the ticket.

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.

This place doesnt look like much from the outside but it makes up for it inside with good food good people and a HomeTown atmosphere. I usually get the same thing every time Im there and its the chicken fried steak dinner which always satisfies and leaves me full and thankful for choosing that entree. Sometimes I try the special and have never been disappointed anything from enchiladas to ribs they always seem to put together a nice meal that reminds me of a wholesome dinner from home. Sometimes there is karaoke or live entertainment which is never overbearing and oftentimes a draw for a good crowd. The staff is always been very friendly and attentive and good at their duties. I wouldnt expect something fancy when going to the embers but I never leave there thinking that Ive done anything but pay for a good time and food. Drinks are strong and theyll keep coming as long as youre sober enough to order one which is just about right

Update: They still have really good food and if Jasmine is working youll get great service! BUT if you want to call in an order be prepared to call 3 or 4 times to get someone to answer and possibly be put on hold indefinitely. Its sad, they have great food. This has happened several times. :( Taking a star away.Great food! Possibly the best country fried steak in town! Crispy coating and great gravy. Delicious home fries and bacon too!UpUpdate: 3.31.21I just had their fiesta salad and it was SO good! They wash and chop the lettuce in house. No pre bagged stuff here! They also make many of the dressings in-house as well. I would give it 10 stars if I could!

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!

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!

Super sad about this. But waited way way to long to get our order. Which never came. Waited over 30mins. So we left. They weren’t even busy. Barely anyone there. Then the lady that gave us our seats and menu was acting crazy high. Going back and forth not even doing anything. Just walked around not even trying to take our order. We even tried to get her attention and just ignored us. She was high on something and it was very obvious.

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.

Review №39

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.

Bartender is personable and fun but still mindful of her duties. The food was mediocre and smelled really icky. I had tacos and they stunk the place up horribly. The floor plan is we thought-out, spacious and open and can accommodate reasonably a large number of patrons. The bar has a considerable number of amenities and is surprisingly pleasant considering its drab street side appearance.

I came & had a Cobb Salad the other day. WOW. Huge, fresh, delicious & I ate it for 2 days! Breakfast here is truly one of the best in Lane County, but that Cobb Salad was definitely in the top 3 in ALL of Lane County!! This place has Great Eats, great Bands, great dancing, great Scot, why arent you here? They have a bisquit & gravy breakfast that cannot be beat for taste or price! Deep fried battered green beans, get outta here! I just cannot say enough good about The Embers! I come here to see my friends in the band Rock n Rewind perform. I like the venue a lot & they have tasty food to order to sustain you while dancing your butt off! The crowd is fun, jovial & I have never seen a bar fight here. If gambling machines are your thing, there are many to choose from. The dance floor is good sized & the acoustics are great. Its time to start dancing again!

The staff is what makes this place!!! Lots of regulars, but a very comfortable and inviting atmosphere. Fries were an average krinkle fry, but the burger was next level exellent!!!

I played the slots while I was there. Its a completely different bar inside compared to the bar it was way back when when it was always called Menopause Lane. Younger Crowd of people goes there, been redone inside the bar, more opened up and the atmosphere was great. Try going there and you will feel comfortable once you walk in

Was not impressed with Embers health standards when I went there for dinner Saturday 29th. As I was waiting for my broasted chicken dinner, a guy in street clothes had his mutt wandering around in the bar from front to back, THEN he decides to take his dog with him to the back kitchen and hang out with his buddies! That did it for me, a dog allowed to hang out back in the kitchen and cooks petting him while cooking my food. I talked with the nice young lady waiting on me about it and she agreed, she said she noticed him going back with his dog too and SAID she would discuss this with the owner. Just sayin, comon - I pay a good price for bar meal there and I dont appreciate the compromise of dog licks or hair potentially touching my high priced food at a restaurant. Wont be eating there again.

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 .

Review №52

The atmosphere and service was great, the product was bad. $7 for a shot of Bushmill’s is pretty high. $25 for a 12 ounce prime rib is also pretty high. Especially considering that it couldn’t have been above choice grade, and came with frozen crinkle cut fries and frozen veggies. I ordered it rare but it came out medium the first time, they got it right the second time. I was really excited about the house made clam chowder, which had actual clams. However the first bite was very sandy and gritty. I would have paid $15 for that meal, but $25 was dishonest.

HIGHLY DISSAPOINTED!!!!HIGHLY DISSAPOINTED!!!! 2 stars is in relation to the music played and the partial attempt at being nice by the server.We decided to go here for, what we heard was, good food. It was 930p on a Thurs. So the place wasnt super busy and kinda cozy. Then it c all went down hill!!1) started with the fact , noone showed to bring us menus so I went to bar and asked for them. We got them, decided what we wanted 2chef salad and BBQ pork slides. So no service at table, so I return to bar to place my order.2) was informed as I was ready to place out orders that it was fried for only. Somehow the salad were grill items, so we settled for 2 chicken strip baskets and 2house salads( which werent considered grill items)3) about 30 min. Had gone by, we still didnt have our drinks. So to the bar I go, yet again.4 ) I politely requested our drinks and the server presented very annoyed with my Request. Finally received those just moments before our food.5) the food that came out was not anything we ordered: no salads were brought and we received 2 orders of fish n chips.6) I go to bar to see about our salads. When she brought the salads, I inquired in the fish instead of chicken I was told the cook chewed her out saying chicken strip were a grill item(since when, this is a very common fried bar did item) and she tells me that she cleared the fish n chips replacement with my spatial needs son, not the person who placed the orders(me)..7)the food got cold quickly and the quality was sub-par at best!!I literally had to go to the server, wherever she was to make any requests for refills and additionall salad dressing.8)I could have done better food at home with leftovers or McDonalds for a hell of a lot less than $45!!!9) the server was hard to read, one interaction was pleasant, the next not!!The best thing I can say is the music played by DJ was right up my alley and it g had a large dance floor!!I will not be returning to eat there but might consider going back for the music and dancing!! ( which is why I am giving 2stars).

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.

The food far exceeded my expectations. It was cooked perfectly. My order was precisely correct. There was alot of extras and everything was perfect. Im going to order and pick up from here regularly. I cant give enough praise. The employees went above and beyond. The customer service was sincere and I felt very well taken care of. Id give everyone a $10 an hour raise if it was within my power.. Your staff makes or breaks you. This is such a great example of the kind of people we all wish we could have on our team. Thank You for being so genuine, kind, proficient, and masters in the kitchen🥰

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.

Food is amazing as long as you ask for the food side before ordering. Amazing house ranch and great char flavor without missing the med rare/rare mark.That was my previous experience. Now I return to a very terrible experience. Had to wait for the bartender to make far too many drinks when I called in and my food is sweating in the back. Not to mention giving me my food sideways so my gravy is mostly in my bag and an upcharge for a side of bacon just for a container. Absurd.

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.

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.

And now it seems like Embers is tired as well. I hope she survives. Please support what Embers truly is. And thats family loyalty honor with grace. Its a given kandmark for those whom work love luve with loyalty beyond means. And choose not to participate with the younger generation by way of manipulation tactics in taking advantage of their Elders...SHAME ON YOU!

My friend and I went there for a quick lunch today. After being there 15 min, we had to get our own menus. By the time our waitress came to get our order, which she wrote on her hand, we both had figured out what we wanted and had played a game of gin rummy. By the time our food came we played three more games and had been there an hr. And my order was wrong. Then my order was wrong. Busy? Not at all! When we got there, there were three tables. We will not be back.

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.

We enjoyed each item of our dinners very much. We started with appetizers and ended with desserts and spent $52 including tip for 3 adults. Good value-for-money.

If there was the possibility of zero stars thats what I would give this place. I tried to take my Mom here for her birthday Saturday night. We walked in with my father and my fiance and were told to sit anywhere. We grabbed seats and were given menus and silverware by a waitress. After that no one ever returned to take drink orders, bring us water, or even acknowledge our presence. The waitress returned to the room several times to take care of a larger group but never even looked at our table. We got up and walked out and went to a different restaurant. Would never go here again!

Food was amazing. Service was great glasses were never empty. Place had great wifi it was fast and stable. Carpet had holes in it and bath rooms could use some TLC. Otherwise it was a great place to eat!

Horrible experience. Dirty boxers in the dining room. A feral cat spraying on equipment in a neighboring dining room and 40 mins. Went by before only orange juice was served. Im disgusted by the lack of cleanliness and horrible service. We left after 45 minutes and no food but dirty underwear.

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.

Great food, good entertainment. Building needs some work but they have done a lot; replaced the flooring so now the inside is much better, added some lighting, nice pony bar.

Honestly the facility is dated but this old dive bar has great food and religious patrons. The menu is robust and full of value. If looking for good food and a quieter dining experience head to Embers.

Review №105

We waited over an hour for some pretty average-to-gross diner food. Chicken fried steak was OK, biscuits and gravy were almost OK, the bacon was bad: overcooked, thickly greasy, over smoked, and extra chewy; one of our breakfasts wasnt made - additional wait time for that, but not worth the wait for any item ordered. The waitress was friendly, but the place wasnt packed and there were other servers working... Wont be back if I can help it.

Review №113

Went to Embers for breakfast for the first time today. Food and coffee were good and priced right. My omlette was super fluffy and cram jam full of delicious turkey, bacon, cheese and avocado. Hubbys chicken fried steak was excellent. Hash browns were exactly the right mix of crunchy outside, fluffy inside. And the housemade strawberry and mango jams alone would have me coming back.However, the best part was the excellent service. Our waitstaff were friendly, attentive, and very good with our two kids. Treated us like regulars and learned our names. They made Mickey Mouse pancakes at my 4 year olds request (we tipped extra for that alone) and the smile on the kiddos faces when they were served Mickey pancakes with whipped cream faces... Made our morning.We will be going back for sure.

Review №116

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!

Review №119

Low-key local restaurant and bar with a neighborhood crowd and friendly service. The restaurant is divided into two sections, the bar area with dance floor, disco light, stage for live music, a few tables for eating, and of course, the bar. You can order food for take-out or dine in. The other section of The Embers is the main dining room, suitable for singles, couples and groups. 4 stars for overall service and local kitsch , it’s not a 5 star restaurant but it’s comfort food and a local hangout.

I got food poisoning! About 30 minutes after I ate some of the taco omelette with hash browns I got painful abdominal cramps and had to rush to the bathroom- where I was stuck for almost 40 minutes with diarrhea. Don’t risk it, the food isn’t worth it.

Went here for dinner at the recommendation of a few people and will not be going back ever. The dining room was disgusting with dirty tables and a floor covered in garbage and old food and the food I was served was the most bland and disappointing excuse for a meal Ive ever had the misfortune of putting in my mouth. My emberized Philly omelette came out painstakingly slow considering my boyfriend and I were 2 of 3 guests eating and the 3rd person there had already been served before wed even arrived. I asked for no peppers and was unimpressed when I realized that my omelette was overflowing with them. After I finished picking them all out I dug in and was disappointed to find that it was completely flavorless and the eggs were spongy. It wasnt edible, even after I tried doctoring it with tabasco. Somehow my country fries were both burned and mushy which made for a very unpleasant taste and texture. Finally as my last hope I turned to my English muffin. Unfortunately I was once again let down. It was not only soggy but cold as well. Not room temperature cold. Ice cold. The best thing I can say for this place was the jam was ok, even if it came out of a squeeze bottle.

I wish I could give less than 1 star. The place was absolutely disgusting and the service was terrible. The waitress carried her dog in her purse the whole time we were there and even pulled her dog out and showed us while there was food on the table! I was in such disbelief.

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.

Review №127

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 №128

Embers is awesome. It is a local icon. A legend. Their food is the best secret of all. The menu is not overly wide but they have a respectable showing for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The food is very good. The prices are amazingly reasonable. Ex.. 4pc. Broasted Chicken Dinner complete with Baked Potato, fresh, steamed veggies, 2 pc. Texas toasted and a rather chincy dinner salad. The chicken is yummy.The band is off the hook terrific. They specialize in 70s thru present day. THE SURVIVORS.i dont imbibe but, i know that they make an honest drink. They make you feel right at home, kind of like a family woopi party. What more could one ask for.

Need better cooks half the food is bland,noone cooks the same menu item the same way. The wait time is terrible at times they only know how to cook 1 meal at a time,and if you have a big group plan on being there a while. Eventually Youll end up knowing when to go there depending on what cooks are cooking that day and the food is actully good. If Sara the asst mgr is there she will make sure that if you have any problems.She Will Make It Right.

Have given this place several chances now. First off they have karaoke almost every night with a bunch of people that shouldnt even be allowed in a bar! They sit there and drink coffee, water and tea all night!! Is this place a bar or coffee shop??? Once in awhile they have bands which is about the only good thing they have going. But on band nights be ready for a bunch of the rudest fing old people Ive ever seen!!!! And I travel the country! So there food!! Lol! They sit there and brag about how good there food is! They cant even cook a burger right, also they have a horrible problem with making sure all your food comes out hot!! Its really not that hard!! As I know from prior restaurant cooking experience! Just as it should be pretty simple to get your meat done the way you order it ice medium or medium rare nope not here!!! Use thermometer!!! Not one cook there should be without! As for the latest episode Ive had there. So its Sunday football game is on this place a huge schedule and football specials on the wall... on top of that it is the 49er seahawk game!!! What do there have a bunch of coffee clutching karaoke singers!!! WTF!!! This place needs to make up its mind are you trying to be a supper club? Karaoke bar? Or a sports bar? You cant be them all!! So I gave this place plenty of chances and will never step foot in it again and gladly go spend my money elsewhere!

Call it Menopause manor, polyester alley, or just a bunch of desperados looking for their desperettes...this place hasnt changed much since it opened back in the dark ages. But, they do have some great live music, and lottery...and booze. Theyre located on the edge of felony flats and thats fun...mostly. Get drunk, dance with strangers, take a cab home and hopefully do the walk of shame the next morning. Youll regret it either way. Life is short so live it up.
