Terry’s Diner

Terrible service took 15 min to get them to take our order when we were done ordering we were told that their grill was not working but they should be able to get us our food in no more than a half hour. Do we decided to wait at the 25 min mark we asked for our check and then the excuse train started to come in. We paid $ 5 for a hot chocolate and a iced tea. The never even started our food order. Don’t waste your time on going here terrible service and terrible excuses.

I’ve eaten here a lot… Mostly due to the waitress that is so fun. She’s got kind of a rockabilly vibe and an excellent sense of humor. Service has always been solid. The food is pretty much standard diner food with some exceptions. The Mac and cheese is excellent and i don’t really like Mac and cheese. The breakfast has always been on point. Worth a trip… Ask for Jesse to be your server.

Breakfast was good, Standard breakfast of Eggs, hashbrowns and bacon. Diner vibe.

We eat here all the time. My husband loves their Tea and the burgers. We’ve had about half the items on the menu. All of which were good. The service is spotty. Sometimes they are right on it, sometimes not so much. But they are always nice, friendly, and professional.

Waitress forgot a part of my order and the service was slow at a time when it was not that busy. It’s not the worst meal I’ve ever had but wasn’t memorable either. I’ll seek out other options before coming here again.

It’s a low budget diner so the food was mediocre as expected. Waited a good 15 minutes for our food. Very small dining area was open, the other section was closed so it was crowded. There was some very questionable people going in and out of the video poker section in the back.
Overall it was ok. Fits in the area it’s located. But won’t be going back

I frequent Terry’s and usually have good service, today that is not the case! I went in for breakfast raving about the great level of service I received just last night for dinner. This morning I was treated like I was less important than the older (50s) patrons and it was impossible to get a smile out of any of the 6 servers working. 3 people told us they would bring more water and it took almost standing and waving to get some. When they did bring us more water you would think we were cutting off an arm at the inconvenience we were. I am have been in the service industry for years and am appalled at the service I received this morning at Terry’s. I will go back being that I have had way better experiences but if it is ever the same as today I will be sure to tell others.

I ate there a few years ago and hated it. A waitress had just quit so the assistant managerhad to wait tables. To start out she filled my coffee cup all the eay to the brim not allowing cream & sugar and even spilled it on the table. The food was nasty, poorly prepared and the attitude of the asst manager bad. She actually yelled at me because I was upset with her service. Bad place to eat.

Cooks don’t make fresh Hollandaise sauce
One of the easiest things to make and delivers the best results. Undercooked hash browns, over cheesed…
Next time I’ll go to Sharie’s…

I like this Diner. Usually have breakfast or lunch with a friend, sometimes alone. Servers are friendly, food is served within 15 minutes. Can’t imagine waiting an hour as some have said. I judge a diner by the soup of the day, the chowder on Friday is the best, tasty and creamy, the vegetable soup is good too. Usually have a French dip sandwich, or a salad, no complaints. Comfy place to go.

Food was okay. Took an hour.

Food is ok, the décor makes it cool to pass the time because it’s old nostalgic stuff. We don’t go here often but when we have the service has been fine. There was a strange smell before we left today I’m not sure if it was vinegar to clean a coffee pot, because I did smell bleach pryer to this or if it was a patron that stunk of cat urine or possibly someone who has their drugs on them. Because it did not smell like this the whole time we were there and it didn’t smell like the food being cooked and their really wasn’t very many people there.

Waitress took my order about 5min after I sat down, she had a good attitude with a smile on her face and my coffee stayed full. I found the price to be very fair and well in range for the quality of food.
Why not 5: Too many pork options not enough alternatives. Also, I don’t see a website with a menu and I like to know what I want before I get there. And although the price is fair the quality doesn’t warrant a 5.
All in all I will definitely be back.

This place is awesome. I love the interior. My wife and I enjoy the bar. Quiet, empty, tv, food and drink. What more coukd you ask for?

Food is always fantastic and priced well, very friendly wait staff, and awesome vintage décor. Would recommend for anyone! Five stars for sure

Been here for an hour and still haven’t got our food. Waiter took another tables order when we had been here for at least 20 minutes more than them. Ready to get our food to go.

Our last trip to Terry’s Diner was motivated by a Buy one get one half off coupon and the fact that it is in my neighborhood so we didn’t have to travel far. I also prefer to eat at independently owned businesses rather than the big chains that just reheat stuff from their freezer instead of cooking food fresh. I had only been there for breakfast before and it is usually OK for that. The food is exactly what you’d expect of an «American comfort food» greasy spoon diner kind of place, plain and of mediocre quality with nothing to make it stand out.
For dinner my companion ordered the rib-​eye steak with mashed potatoes and salad. He specified no gravy, but his mashed potatoes came smothered in a weak, clear gravy that looked like it was poured out of a can. The corn was definitely canned. He ended up sending the whole thing back mostly because the steak had no flavor of it’s own, it tasted like it had been cooked on a filthy grill, that was all the flavor it had.
I had the «Terry’s Smothered Chicken» with a salad and baked potato. The corn was not terrible, but it was obviously sweetened with sugar in processing. The salad was a OK, basic plain lettuce, three slices of cucumber and some hard tomato slices. nothing special, but at least was not just a big pile of chopped Iceberg lettuce. I think it may have been romaine. The baked potato was just kind of sad, cooked too long and all dried out with a burnt spot on the skin.
I am not likely to go back there again because there are just too many places that actually try to be remarkable in some way to eat at someplace that is no better than a Denny’s or Shari’s.

So sad to see Terry’s fall to such a low. We have been dining here for years and always have ordered the same thing. For my husband, cottage cheese and french dip. For myself, chicken fried steak with eggs over medium. Well from the beginning… waitress was terrible, no silverware, didn’t ask what we wanted to drink, disappeared forever, never brought us our tab. The food was not good… the french dip had cheese on it, cottage cheese was dry, my eggs were over easy, the chicken fried steak was rubbery. The only good thing was the water.

The nostalgia screams here! The old-​time, southern feel… Weathered Pepsi signs, and other memorabilia from back in the day are plastered along the walls.
I like that.
What I like even better is biscuits and gravy! And the portions here were large, and just what you’d expect from a diner like this. Good comfort food.
Service was sub-​par, but for cheap «soul» food in Eugene… I’d do it again on my next visit!

I’ve only eaten breakfast here, but it’s always good. They have a good menu with lots of options. I enjoy the chicken fried steak. Plenty on seating throughout with lots of comfy booths.
