“Burgers” and “beer” are the first two words you’ll hear out of any Cornucopia regular.

If you’ve ever tried one of their 10 handmade burgers, you’ll understand why. Grass-fed and raised right here in Eugene at Knee Deep Cattle Company, the angus beef is natural-certified and hormone and antibiotic-free, so you shouldn’t have any moral qualms about enjoying it.

Local beers on tap and cold bottles in the fridge are staples of this lively joint, which often feels more like a bar than a restaurant. Cornucopia has two locations, one on the corner of 5th and Pearl and the other on 17th and Lincoln, but you can expect a similarly enjoyable experience at either location.

The specialty burgers average about $12 each, which might make you scratch your head at first, but considering the incredible measures the restaurant goes to in order to ensure that its product is local, organic and sustainable, the price is more than justified.

The restaurant draws people of all ages, but its most popular crowd seems to be in its 30s and 40s — those  men and women who like to eat and drink like they’re still in college, but opt for a touch of class with grass-fed beef and microbrews.

If you’re looking to mix it up, Cornucopia does offer 15 sandwiches, seven assorted house favorites, and various soups, salads, steaks and ribs, but the incredible burgers — from Jeros Bacon Cheeseburger to Lil Jack’s Hellion burger — are what keep the regulars coming back, and I suggest you stick to the script.

Cornucopia does deliver (including beer and wine), but I recommend going in for yourself, enjoying the atmosphere and discovering why Eugene Weekly named the restaurant “The Best Place to Sing Karaoke” in 2012.
