Steves Breakfast and More

Reviews & Tips

• 0

  A friend took me here to eat this morning. Five hours later, I am depressed that I overate such low quality food. But with the portion size, you have no option but to overeat.
  
  This place embodies every negative stereotype about Springfield: unattractiveness, obesity, grease, and methodone. Usually I love diner food, but there was something seriously wrong with this place.
  
  Piling on loads of frozen, fried and altogether prison-grade ingredients does not constitute a meal. It's really quite frightening how colossal the plates are compared to the price - it's unnatural.
  
  To top it off, there was a huge TV playing some day time television, either Hard Copy or Maury; something like that. Perhaps that is the 'more' aspect of Steve's.

  If you're looking for greasy, huge portions, & disgustingly gross seating, but not expecting yummy quality ingredients, Steve's Breakfast & more is the place for you. I just happened upon this place after doing a nearby search on Yelp. This place looks like a complete dive and it was. The service was great (sweet lady trying hard) and the portion size is ridiculous. However, the food was insanely greasy, the booths were cloth, that looked like they hadn't been cleaned in years, and I walked out of there smelling like I'd been standing over the fryer for hours.  Do yourself a favor and drive on by this dump.

  Have eaten here several times - I have a friend who lives in the Washburne District  who loves the place.  Nothing fancy here, just your basic truck stop grub.  Their food is ok, maybe 2 stars, but they slide to a 1 because of the atmosphere.
  
  There's definitely a place in my heart for funky little greasy spoon diners, but I scratched this place off my list after my husband & I spent an entire meal being subjected to a loud and unavoidable conversation consisting entirely of racist/sexist/homophobic/uber right wing crazy opinions incited by the FOX news "stories" pouring forth from that big screen TV.  We kept thinking they'd move on to another subject, or for God's sake STFU, but it only got worse.  
  
  Sure, everybody has a right to their political opinions, but when the owner/cook and waitress join right in with the loudmouth customers and think it's cool to serve up the eggs with a big fat side of unwelcome,   ignorant opinions, I'm outta there.  
  
  On the other hand, if you think Art Robinson would make a nifty President if he were just a little more conservative, you might just love this place...

  While South Eugene liberals parallel park their Priuses in front of Cafe Zenon, just across the river a whole legion of folks who work with their hands find themselves cozying up to the counter at Steve's Breakfast and More just off Main Street. Springfield, the hotly contested/denied strip club capital of our proud nation, was made to host such an unassumingly delicious diner. Making the trip regardless of socioeconomic status is highly recommended.
  
  I found myself devouring a greasy gut busting breakfast earlier this week at Steve's. The menus comes stapled in the corner, soiled by maple syrup and bacon grease. Everything on said menu, including french toast platters the size of Rhode Island, are less than $7. There are more than a few breakfast options that are less than $4, a welcome sight in 2K11 where an omelet now runs $9 and up at most breakfast joints.
  
  I made the easy decision of 3 scrambled eggs with bacon, cheese and mushrooms and a pancake the size of a car rim for $3.95. My coffee cup stayed full and the staff was friendly.  A few of the entertaining oddities at Steve's include:
  
  -An old projection TV in the corner with a distorted picture
  -One lady near the TV had ordered a side of french fries. It was 10am.
  -The front door looks like it was acquired off a mobile home
  -The padding in the booth is about as thick as an iPhone 4
  
  Steve's Breakfast is the kind of restaurant that you'd want to drink a beer with. It doesn't even have to fake enjoying shots of whiskey, it drinks a bottle of Evan Williams every night before bed because it tastes good. In 2012, vote with your coronary arteries, and grab a bite to eat at Steve's Breakfast and More.

  This place is the shit. I wish we had a diner with food this amazing where I live.
  
  Food enjoyed:
  
  -Hashbrown stack (I think that's what it was called). So delicious. The bacon is outstanding. The portion is HUGE, so share or take the leftovers home!
  
  -Denver Omelet - Again, huge & delicious. Even their salsa was good.
  
  -Biscuits & gravy - Wow... really good. I love b&g and this didn't disappoint.
  
  It was pretty obvious when we were there that the place was full of "regulars" and we were obvious not regulars, but our service was so good! The two ladies who served us were super friendly, I really can't complain about a thing.

  This place is right next to Goodfellas or part of Goodfellas; I'm not sure of the nexus or any connection whatsoever, but I like Steves Breakfast and More.  I'm surprised this place hasn't gotten a review on Yelp as of yet.  Perhaps the patrons of this place aren't Yelpers?  Well, Steves is really good.  There are plenty of breakfast specials, which I thoroughly enjoy.  I got the steak strips with hash brown and 3 eggs and toast.  I could've gotten a pancake instead of toast, but I thought the steak, hashbrowns, and 3 eggs were more than enough for me.  I'm pretty sure my meal didn't cost more than $10.  What a deal, not to mention, delicious.  The steak was sort of country fried steak with a mix of onions and green peppers.  It was sheer home-style delicious.  Some might say unhealthy, but heck, I liked it.  My companion got the crepe special, which looked tasty also, and probably a lot healthier than my meal.  
  
  I will have to go back to Steves, but that means actually waking up at a decent hour.  The restaurant seems to have a southern New Orleans theme, which was pretty neat.  The coffee mugs and china are all mismatched, which gives the place a welcoming feel.  I like it.  The lady servers are friendly and nice.  The menu isn't fancy at all, which I liked.  It's straightforward and to the point.
