"Went here on a busy Saturday night. Felt a bit like a fish out of water here or out of my element. I am a longtime vegan. This is after all a place known for their burgers. It was quite noisy and sports played on several televisions. The music was also loud and place was packed. The service could have been better as the servers were working hard yet were probably short staffed w/ such a full house. It took awhile to get seated and for my food to arrive. I had to get up and get up to pour my own water which rarely ever happens. I don't like to give low reviews and 3 stars is fairly low for me. I think the 3.5 stars of Cornucopia is solid. I would give 3 stars for service and 4 stars for food. Although service might have been much different on a slower time. I think since Yelp adds up reviews to include 1/2 star ratings reviewers should be able to have half stars. On the bright side I appreciate Cornucopia for having several options for vegans including different variations of their homemade veggie burgers. Their veggieburgers are made in house known as vurgers are made from tempeh and black beans. I opted for JB's Garden Vurger which has avocado, tomato, green peppers, onion, and salsa. It comes with cheese, but they can easily make it w/o cheese to make it vegan. Kudos for making the veggie burger in house as some restaurants either don't offer a veggie burger option or they use packaged one like Garden Burger or Boca. I think Cornucopia could be better by adding Daiya or Follow Your Heart for us vegans. Also I found the salsa w/o much kick at all so had to add quite a bit of tabasco to kick it up a bit. Portion size was huge and came with a TON of fries. There is an option to add sweet potato fries. To make it even better would be nice to have half the fries w/ the sweet potato option. Portions are huge and could easily split it with a friend or bring a hearty appetite as Cornucopia could be great as a post Skinner Butte hike I also loved that some of the walls were decorated with Oregon Country Fair framed posters from various years to celebrate Eugene's beloved weekend."
