dirty business - Edit
had some takeout from here from friend who tried to trick me. he knows I think this food is garbage so he got me takeout to see if I thought so. it was mushville
Read moreNasty that they invested their $$ from hippies who bought their stuff with plant-based ideals on killing animals. dirty business
staff from here has always been hostile and nasty
they are good at disputing my reviews, but truth is truth, they have enough $$ from selling burritos w over a gram of salt in them.
Cons: not cool , not even close to being cool, posers

Holy Cow is a good option - Edit
One of the FEW eating establishments in Eugene that serves almost 100% organic vegetarian food! And their prices are reasonable for Organic food. I have eaten at their U of O Campus location many times in college, and have eaten at their restaurant on Willamette probably over 50 times with mostly good experiences. They are consistent and have great tasting items on their menu. Their Pad Thai is not very good in my opinion-too sour and weird tasting. I have been to Thailand a few times though, so I am kind of a Thai Food snob. Overall, I would recommend them.
Read moreAs far as serving meat goes, I own a food service business that does NOT use any meat, dairy, or eggs, but I understand why they decided to serve meat. It is very hard to make a profit in this town if only marketing to vegetarians-who do not make up the majority of customers here. This is an unfortunate reality, and hopefully someday it will change.
Pros: Consistent, Reasonable prices, Organic! Yay
Cons: Pad Thai isn't very good in my opinion, They serve a lot of meat

Love Holy Cow! - Edit
I don’t understand why there are such scathing reviews. Why the hate? Actually, I do understand why someone who is fanatical about not eating meat (i.e. “They Kill Here”) would trash an establishment that serves it. But Holy Cow is one of my and my wife’s favorite places to eat in Eugene. Yes, they serve some meat dishes (chicken and fish). But like all their food it is all organic, non-GMO (not easy to do these days) and sustainably sourced.
Read moreI almost always order the vegetarian dishes at Holy Cow, because they are delicious. My favorites periodically change between the Thai Tofu and Pad Thai dishes to the Shiitake Stirfry (not on the menu anymore) and Calypso Tofu. I also really enjoy ordering the Saag Paneer every now and then. All of those dishes are very tasty! And the fries are AWESOME! It has always been fun and rewarding trying the daily specials. There is also a salad bar that my wife has enjoyed many times. And we both really appreciate the kombucha on tap.
The owner is friendly and very open to feedback. And the staff is really wonderful. So, I am very confused by 1 star ratings of a place that puts so much effort into quality, delicious foods and friendly service. I know many people who feel the same way I do and hope that they take the time to write a review as well.
P.S. I would give HC a 5 cow rating, but the max rating allowed on this site for places that serve meat is 4 cows.
Pros: Great Food, Sustainable / Organic / Non-GMO, Friendly Staff

They kill here - Edit
I feel betrayed by Holy Cow on Willamette. They made their brand with their vegetarian food. But this place serves a ton of meat. The veg items are not very good.

Not that great - Edit
We had a falafel and Mashed Potatoes, it tasted bad. I hope it was super healthy, but there are plenty of tastier options in the Eugene area.

Cons: Tasted bad
