café 440

come hungry. the pastami reuben is double stacked and is even as good as a true cornbeef, if not better. my husband had the knee deep with caramelized onions and swiss and he almost didn't finish it because of the sheer size. the owner, rocking around in his baseball cap and smile was helping out the staff not cause he needed to, but because he wanted to, realniceguy 😁. didn't get a chance to try the cocktails but i will be next time, i'm coming back, and bringing the crew with me.

yumm! andniceservice to boot!. went here for a late lunch: had bbq pork sliders, grilled cheese and salads with buttermilk chive dressing. all were very well prepared and good. sizes were generous. verynicewaitstaff. good coffee as well from south fork.

tip on the side: be sure to check out the gin selection at the liquor store next door.

yummy! food presented nicely, friendly staff, good food!nicevariety of food. i had the nachos. the bar decorated nicely. i will visit again.

great food, great service. prettyniceatmosphere. one of the first places in eugene where i actually brought food home. large, filling plates. i'd recommend to a friend. the owner is usually hosting and will personally check on you and make sure everything is good.

great brunch. when our family came out from new york for a visit, we really weren't sure where to go for anicebrunch. we wanted someplace that could accommodate a large group, that wasn't outrageously expensive but yet had good service and good food.

after reading some review here and another web site, and visiting a couple of places in person to scope them out, we decided to take a chance on cafe 440.

there were about 15 people (and a service dog) in our group. we ordered drinks and they arrived in a pretty reasonable time. btw, i'm a bit of a lightweight and i ordered a bloody mary - first sip about knocked my socks off! the do not scrimp on the alcohol! most will consider this a plus.

the food took a bit longer to arrive. i know it was a large group, but i can only give them a "c+" in the service department. the servers (we had 2 assigned to our table) were not so great about bring coffee refills or other requested items to the table.

once the food got to us, it was a wonderful brunch and everyone really enjoyed their meal, so i give the food a definite "a". i had the eggs benedict and my eggs were cooked perfectly and the hollandaise sauce was wonderful.

i think this place is best left for couples or smaller groups as they don't seem to be as well prepared for large groups - the servers and cooks don't seem to be as organized for tending to a large group like we had, but the food (and drinks if you can hold your liquor!) is definitely worth a visit.

delicious food. recently we had a large family get together for my husband's birthday. there were a total of 13 of us and although the large party did cause a bit of a delay in getting our food, when we were served everyone agreed the food was worth waiting for. i had the cold lox benedict which was served with home fries and fresh fruit garnish. i got the small portion and couldn't quite clean my plate although i definitely tried! oh, and you won't complain about the cocktails being shy on the liquor. only complaint is same with almost everywhere; lousy acoustics. the floors are bare, not much furniture with upholstery and the raised ceilings make conversation a bit of a challenge. go there to eat, not talk. can't wait to go back.

fantastic blt. my cousin, uncle and i went here for lunch. the service was very friendly, had aniceatmosphere. it comes off as a ritzy restaurant but was actually more laid back then i expected. my cousin had the brocolli mac and cheese and let me just say they're doing good things in that department, it melted in your mouth and had just the right amount of cheese, it wasn't overpowering. i had a blt and im partial to ordering anything with bacon at restaurants because they seem to always over cook it. but this blt was cooked just right, it was still chewy and had great taste. the tomato and lettuce was fresh and the bread was great as well. it was a little spendy but i would say its worth it.

nice lunch! a little noisy, this is not the best option for a working lunch. loved the ahi appetizer. great portion, good flavor and the toasted bread that was served with it was unexpectedly anicetouch!

it was ok. limited menu.nicewait staff. sweet potato fries pretty good.
