    Available for people who dont have access to meals. Meal is free. My first time there and it was good. They made me feel comfortable as I was having some anxiety. Its a nice place. Volunteers are very friendly. I'm glad the dining room is available to the public.

    Free lunches for anyone struggling on the streets or low income. Families with children do not wait in line. Monday thru Thursday Noon until 2:40 or first 300 people. Great food. Vegetarian options are available

    Like the Eugene mission, the food served here is 100 percent free. But you must sign in and register every so often, you must wait outside in the unforgiving elements with dumb smokers until your numbers are called so you can enter to eat, you can only eat whatever meal they serve you and seconds on any meal you've had are prohibited

    There is nowhere nicer for a meal if you happen to be indigent or transient in Eugene. The staff is lovely, kind, and very accommodating. Thank you for providing a meal with dignity in an environment that strips it of us daily.

    The dining room is run by food for Lane County. It is a wonderful place to go, if you're hungry and need a free meal. The food is delicious. They're only open a few days a week a few hours a day. Contact food for Lane County for more information.

    This place is run with love! They strive to give Diners a good meal served with a side of dignity. Everyone who walks through those doors is an amazing individual, customers and volunteers alike!! **Edit** Open hours Mon-Fri 11:45-2 Doing their best, which isn't as good as it used to be, but there's still a decent snack so you don't totally starve.

    My first day back since covid. They have improved in big ways. A lot more efficient intake process before entering. I like the piano music and the new plates. Very tasty and healthy for a free meal.

    A place to have excellent food where homelessness is not a barrier.

    I'm tired of seeing the discrimination against white people while they smile about it and prefer to help others. Whites get dirty looks. It's disgusting. The discrimination makes my appetite fall to the floor

    At The Dining Room you are invited to forget about homeless struggles and join humanity for a little time. You get served a lovely meal with dignity and a smile along with 2 drinks, a cloth napkin and real silverware. And the best part.. for a little ambiance, theres always local musician with a guitar serenading the patrons with delightful tunes youre sure to remember and enjoy. Now for the coup d' gras.. its totally paid by donations. Its a sweet break from survival mode And a welcome one! My appreciation and thankfullness from my soul goes to these selfless and genuine sincere workers straight from the throne! They are truly our keepers and gifts from above. Thank you for this opportunity to not only spread the word but more so to brag and share this gift and honor and give thanks to the workers who make magic happen. Bless All of Them!

    The food isn't always great but for the most part it's decent, definitely good when you are starving. It's free noon-2 for lunch. Severe two options, vegetarian and non-vegetarian. Plus dessert, tea, milk, juice or coffee. Nice staff, feels good to be here.

    Just a modern-day blessing the women and volunteers that work there are so wonderful and caring we're lucky to have a place like that in Eugene

    The atmosphere was wonderful like a little Italian restaurant Thai place with excellent food that was good to eat

  • 2/5 Cultural F. 9 months ago on Google
    It's very soviet feeling. Not really enjoyable for eating next to people whom haven't showered for weeks. Not a real restaurant- though they do a good job pretending to be. No in and out. If you left your table you're done. If you need something from your car, too bad. Sure it's "free" food. But everytime I eat here I get really sick 😫

    Thankyou to all the workers/volunteers !! It makes a huge difference in my day when I can sit down to coffee & a good meal for a few mins - Much Love!!!~

    What are the best soup kitchen type places in the country so make sure you're there prior to 1:30 or so sometimes too can't get fed past otherwise it's great vegetarian and average American diet options only open from Thursday through Friday from 12 to 3 and cuts out when 250 people are rich

  • 5/5 Ashley M. 2 years ago on Google
    I can't tell you how appreciative I am for the dining room. Before I found a job I was there because they feed the homeless. Their food is so good. I've eaten at a few soup kitchens and it's been ok but their food tastes like restaurant food. The while staff is super friendly. If your hungry and need a bite to eat when your downtown its Tuesday through Friday at noon. I think they go on till 130 maybe 2. The food is delicious, you wont regret it!
