College Prowler Take

Eugene is filled with eateries to serve a wide variety of tastes. For those wishing to indulge in grease, all the fast food restaurants are a short walk from campus. For a more classy experience, Beppe and Gianni’s is a definite hot spot for great Italian food and a wide selection of wines. Eugene also offers good Mexican food at Chapala or Burrito Boy, the student favorite. The Glenwood is a great place to eat for all types of cuisine, especially breakfast.

The beauty of Eugene is in its local spots and mom-and-pop restaurants. From a steak at Steelhead to a scramble at the Glenwood, there’s a something for everyone. There’s even a selection of organic restaurants and local chains. With a flavor and taste for any appetite, it’s difficult to complain about Eugene’s array of dining.

The food in Eugene is very good if you know the right places. For a quick, cheap meal you can get pizza by the slice at Sy’s Pizza, which is near campus. Burrito Boy is also a favorite for good and inexpensive Mexican food. If you’re taking somebody out for a nice dinner and don’t mind the budget, Ambrosia has the best Italian in Eugene, and the Electric Station has a great atmosphere and a wide variety of foods. For Chinese food, Ocean Sky provides large plates, and the Maple Garden is near campus and provides inexpensive but tasty food. For a good steak, try West Brother’s or Steelhead.

Restaurants off campus are awesome! Oregon Electric Station is good, but a bit expensive and the Glenwood is extremely reasonable and has delicious food.

I love to eat at good restaurants. Some of my favorites are The Oregon Electric Station, which is really jazzy and unique, and Steelhead Brewery has some very good brews and a great environment. These are just a few good spots.
