Sometimes you just want a $3 bean & cheese burrito. This one is great, especially with the green sauce.

The Leroy, arguably the best burger in town. Right across from Ninkasi if you're here to try great local beer.

Excellent choice for those seeking quick, healthy, and budget friendly. I like their Tempeh Royale burrito (vegan). Meat eaters should grab a Holy Mole burrito. Pro tip: get the red salsa and then get some more. Probably the best salsa ever. Pro tip #2- if you're real, real hungry, ask for your burrito to be "Mondo Size"

If you're out late on the downtown bar scene, this is the place to go for some much needed non-liquid calories! Great pizza-by-the-slice, cool atmosphere, and full bar. Open till 3am.

Great atmosphere at this whiskey bar where "East Meets Country & Western" I couldn't decide whether to list this as Drinks or Food...both are excellent. Definitely try the Bourbon & Ginger and the Curry Udon.

This is a paved bicycle/pedestrian path that spans the entire length of both sides of the Willamette River through Eugene & Springfield. It passes through a bunch of great parks and offers access to most places you'd want to go in town. If you brought your bike or running shoes, this should be your first excursion.
