Johnny Ocean's Grille

I've been eating at Johnny Ocean's since it was located in West Eugene, and loved when it moved to Oakway and got even better.  I've tried about half the food on their menu, and do not have one complaint.  The owner comes out and visits with me EVERY time I am there, I see him making the rounds to his customers more than once during their meals.  It's not upscale by any means, but it's relaxed and the food is delicious.  Try the sweet potato fries with cilantro dipping sauce for an appetizer, and save room for a dessert made by the owner's wife.

Great choices and flavors.  From hamburgers to Asian fare with friendly service this is a casual diner that should be on everyone's list when needing to satisfy different diners choice of cuisine.

A small slice of paradise in Eugene. I enjoyed this restaurant even with the tacky decor and the television in the corner (which, to my dismay, my father appreciated). We started with the fried plantain chips which didn't really come out crispy but a little rubbery in the center. This didn't deter from the flavor and I have to admit that I nearly licked the dipping sauce from the plate.

Fish tacos and Thai coconut curry were the lunch entrees and both were worth the money spent. While I am not a fan of fried fish in my fish tacos, the breading was light and added a little crunch to the dish. The Thai curry was good but spicy which was not specified on the menu (which would have been appreciated).

The reason why this rating is a four instead of a three is because of the outstanding service and the incredible homemade pumpkin cheesecake that I have dreamed about several times since the meal. I will be back for more of the desserts made by the owner's wife!

I would come back and try a different entree and maybe several of the desserts.
