Today was my first time at Eureka with my parents and it was a really great experience. Faith was absolutely amazing, top tier customer service, she gave excellent recommendations including the Ginger Soda and the cheese fries. They were both amazing. My burger was also top tier. Again, shout out to Faith for being really personable and attentive. Will be coming back. read more

Been to the Carlsbad location a few times (and enjoyed the food), so I was stoked to see this location while in AV. It was early and a chill vibe in there, so my husband and I gave their happy hour a try! Wonderful service from Emily that day, who made our first happy hour experience here, a happy one! LOL. Order up: - Al Pastor Fish Tacos (refreshing with the lime squeeze!) - Crispy Glazed Brussels Sprouts (bursting w/ umami and nice crunch with the almond slivers) - Wings (awesome meat:bone ratio on the drumettes, ordered them plain w/ sweet chili and ranch on the side) - Nachos (can't go wrong w/ a classic appy, gonna add steak on it next time for some protein) Bummer we wanted to try the Korean Beef Frachos but it wasn't available, so I guess we'll come back again for those! To wash it all down, a Voo Doo Stout (Left Coast) for me, and a Slap & Tickle IPA (Brewery X) for the hubz. CHEERS and happy eating till next time... read more

My first time at Eureka and it's so close to home. Loved their lunch specials. All the food we ordered was so fresh and delicious. Service was amazing. They kept checking on our table to see we needed anything else. We ate outside and it was a beautiful day. Inside has a bar and TV screen for sports. Will definitely come back. read more

This is a big room with high ceilings, mitigating the noise. Service was provided by Julia (Giulia?), who was a great help with menu and beer suggestions. Great lunch options at $13. Happy hour drink prices look to be pretty decent. Fish and chips are good but small compared with commensurate dishes in the area. The Fish Tacos al Pastor are excellent. I would prefer the tortillas to be trending to crispy but not crunchy-crispy. French fries (chips) were cooked perfectly and seasoned well. read more

First time visiting this chain. Enjoyed great food, cocktails, and service at the Aliso Viejo location. Chicken nachos, Brussels sprouts and burger were all tasty.

7/15 around 11:30.... Sat at the bar - forgot his name (jeans & plaid shirt) served me. He was very welcoming, offered suggestions as I was a 1st time guest, good service beginning to end. Chicken club w/fries and an iced tea with a hint of peach. Sandwich was fantastic and the tea isn't something I would normally get, but it was really good without being to sweet. The restaurant was really clean - nice atmosphere. I live a mile away - didn't know it was there. Will definitely be back. read more

Had the best time. Popped in for some late night drinks and a bite. Rex took care of us. Dude, was on top of it! Great service, great drinks and food, and just an all around amazing experience. read more

Good not great. We came in on 03 July, around 12:30, there was about only 3 other people in the whole place. Server was extremely slow, only came to our table maybe 1-2 times the whole meal and just overall not pleasant to deal with. Honestly the only thing that saved it was the manager; he was very friendly, kind and social. Our burger also came out medium rare when we asked for medium. They did apologize but most places would either comp their mistake or give a free dessert as a "hey we're sorry, let us make it up to you!" It's almost industry standard, but not here or at least with our server. Anyway, the food was good 8/10 and the inside is always clean and nice. We live right next door, but hardly come here because honestly it's just nothing special, at least not that special compared to all the other places they compete against like Webbs. read more

Great food, this location is quite busy. Very dark ambiance but the service and food were great. The Al pastor fish tacos had a good kick. The dishes here are great. Will definitely come back for more. read more

Love Eureka Restaurants. I live locally to the Aliso Viejo location, so I frequent often for cocktails. The staff is personable and friendly & I'm always having a great time. It's the perfect atmosphere for a date night or birthday brunch. Shout out to Ryan for such amazing service & recommending some awesome snacks & drinks! read more

Eureka is definitely the go to place for burgers in Aliso! Now I gotta be upfront, these burgers are premium, the kind that have fig and all the fancy fixings, and the cost reflects it. Is that a negative? Nope! The service is outstanding, side portions are generous and you definitely feel like you get your moneys worth here. Happy hour menu is extensive, and it's a nice way to try things at a pretty good price in my opinion. Our party got everything from macaroni and cheese balls, Asian chicken wraps, dry rub wings and burgers. Long story short, we will be back. Cool vibe and great parking at this Eureka, this place is definitely making the city proud by serving up some of the best food I've had this year! Thanks team Eureka! read more

there are good hostesses, great hostesses, and great Human beings Skylar hands down is a great Human being...the other staff at Eureka Aliso Viejo are also great starting with the front desk girls. Busy Wednesday evening in Aliso Viejo by Trader Joes, 99 Ranch AMERICAN Human gentrified Mecca plaza.... less than 10 minutes they told my wife and I to receive a table. Ordered Dragonslayer and Philly Ribeye steak sandwich and Eureka Classic burger, sweet potatoes always. Did not even think the order was delayed but Skylar stepped up and expedited our orders and even check on us and apologized for kitchen sloth speed when we did NOT even notice. Just a pleasant special experience because Skylar went above and beyond and accommodated us every minute...that is meritorious work that indeed deserves recognition and will garner more visits after a hectic work day.... Best, Dr. Tesla/Viet read more

I stopped by for dinner tonight after work. This place is great, the staff is friendly, the drinks were really good, and the food was excellent. I sat at the bar so I got some conversation in between customers. The staff made some great recommendations on food for dinner and dessert. I will definitely come back sometime. I would highly recommend this as a fun place to stop in for drinks as well as a great place for dinner. read more

I'm so glad I gave this Eureka! location another shot -- the service this time was amazing. This time, everything felt different in the best way. I wish I remembered the name of the gentleman who served us -- he was such a sweetheart. It was a rainy day, and since we sat on the patio with our fur baby, he made sure we were comfortable, even offering to turn on the heater and bringing out a water bowl for our dog. My husband and I shared the Wild Child cocktail (still my favorite!), and split the bone marrow burger and wings. The burger was rich and flavorful, and yes -- I upgraded to truffle fries, which are always worth it. We ended with the chocolate bourbon cake, a recommendation from our server, and it was the perfect finish. read more

Love getting food from Eureka! I usually order pickup via DoorDash and it has never failed to deliver. The food quality is consistent and it's helpful they are open late. It's nearly impossible to find anything not fast food open past 9pm in Aliso. Even McDonalds closes before midnight! And I would pick Eureka anything over eating unhealthy junk food past 10pm. Not everyone works a 9-5 cake job ya know. The seared salmon platter I ordered recently was absolutely delicious. Loved the string beans and ripped potatoes too. The accompaniments really made the salmon taste great and filling by giving contrasting texture and flavors. Very well executed especially knowing I usually hate ordering something that can otherwise so easily resemble hospital food. But this? I wouldn't mind eating every night. The kids chicken bites were also delicious. It comes in a good portion size and everything tasted fresh. Big shoutout and THANK YOU to all the staff members there for consistently delivering great quality food and service!! read more

We were starving heading down to San Diego from LA with a ton of traffic and rain so stumbled upon this spot bc they had a broad menu that everyone could find something they liked. Service was slow which was the only down side especially since we were so hungry but was a good pit stop. I enjoyed the Bloody Mary and on Wednesdays the smash burger and fries is $9 which is such a steal! Very filling. The vibe of the restaurant was cute. The outside area was nice but it was too cold and rainy for us to venture out there. We sat at a nice booth spot indoors which was cozy read more

Went there for my wedding rehearsal dinner. First of all the restaurant was very nice even after us having to change the number of guests repeatedly. Drinks were pretty good and had good amount of alcohol. I got the protein bowl with blackened salmon. Pretty good food. The truffle fries and the brussel sprouts were really good. Our waitress was amazing. She was super attentive and nice. She got all the drinks and food for 20ppl. She gave us good recommendations too. read more

I really like Eureka as a chain. This is the 5th one I have visited. I popped in for cocktails with some friends, and it looks like a large-ish Eureka. I expect the food to be good, like it is at all the other ones I have been to. I had a cocktail, which was really yummy, like it is throughout this small chain, while my friends all had various beers, of which there were plenty of options. The place looks great, with a large patio and lots of TVs, though they had the OCHO on because of the short break in schedules for the major sports on the weekend when I visited. read more

Eureka is my go to when I'm not sure what I want for dinner. I tried the new item, the Steak Frites, and that was not great. The meat was not salted and the chilmichurri sauce overpowered everything. The Cobb salad was delicious! I did replace the grilled chicken with fried chicken which made it even better. Bar drinks and service were great. read more

Nice menu, great service, great ambiance! Tonight was not our first visit, been here at least half a dozen times, but realized I hadn't reviewed Eureka yet! (Wish I had taken more photos!) Enjoyed our meal last night with Hannah as our server - super friendly and took great care of us. We sat on the patio and enjoyed the fresh air - but weren't cold despite it being a chilly night. Hannah provided great guidance on menu items and was super enjoyable to chat with. Hubby had a Eureka Sour (yum!) and I tried the Liquid Light Sauvignon Blanc (also yum!) - both of which Hannah recommended. (Hannah - I'm going to buy a bottle of my own today!) Hubby had the double smash burger and I had the Napa chicken sandwich. We both enjoyed our food and the overall experience a lot. We've sat inside and out on their huge patio, and we've enjoyed both. Great ambiance at Eureka! Side note - We've also visited the location in SLO a few times and it's equally great! read more

We love coming to Eureka for their happy hour. We went on a Friday and Saturday night for 2 and there was no wait. You can always set a reservation to avoid any wait times. From their "hoppy hour," The wild child and spa day margarita are really good. Both $8.50. We enjoyed the Eureka American burger, mac and cheese balls, and truffle cheese fries. read more

Happy hour is ridiculous. They don't have enough staff to seat the restaurant, leave tables open and the manager will not honor happy hour pricing when people wait for over thirty minutes and barely pass the end time. This is completely up to the manager to decide. Clearly they make enough money at all other times and they are not interested in gaining new customers with their happy hour that would come back other times. They should not even have the happy hour if these are not the customers they want. The manager was extremely rude, granted people were annoyed, but his attitude was extreme and perfect for escalating the situation. read more

I visited eureka on a Sunday early evening for a family dinner. Parking was easy with a lot right by the restaurant. There were some other customers dining, but it wasn't too busy. The servers were very friendly & attentive throughout our meal. We ordered the mac n cheese balls to share with the table, & I got the al pastor fish tacos. I also had a few bites of my mom's salmon plate, & everything was delicious. We've been to eureka countless times, & we're already looking forward to visiting again. read more

We had our son's 2nd birthday celebration here, a small-ish gathering of 13 folks. The manager at Eureka, Loren, did a fantastic job of accommodating our party. We told him that our toddler is a "runner," and he seated us on the enclosed patio that helped corral our lil guy. Patio is awesome, even in cold weather as they have heat lamps and a beautiful fireplace in the middle. Husband and I checked the place out a week before and had ourselves a little date night at the bar - the ambience and low lighting makes for a super chill atmosphere. We like their drinks, and the appetizers like the pretzel bites, Brussels sprouts, and truffle fries are crowd pleasers. Memorable meals from our party was the bbq bacon burger, black and blue mushroom burger, Philly cheesesteak, fish and chips, and the wagyu and bone marrow burger. The wait staff was also very helpful in getting the cake we brought lit and they were happy to use the cake stand and utensils we bought to set it up. All in all great food and service. High praise for this location! Don't sleep on their rewards program, you get pretty cool foodie hookups and can rack up points easily! read more

I've been to Eureka! a couple of times at their Fresno location, but this was my first visit to the Aliso Viejo spot since it opened. It was just as I remembered--great food and a laid-back atmosphere. I called around 5 PM on a Sunday to see if we could make a reservation for our party of seven, but they only accept reservations up to two hours in advance. Luckily, it wasn't busy, and we were seated right away. We chose to sit inside, though the patio looked inviting--something to try next time. Everyone in our group enjoyed their meals, from the fish and chips to the burgers, wraps, and salads--everything was fresh and well-prepared. The only downside was the limited drink options for kids. Since mine don't drink soda, the choices were pretty much just lemonade and orange juice. There were mocktails available, but those didn't really appeal to them. Overall, a solid experience with great food and friendly service. I'd definitely come back--just hoping for a few more kid-friendly drink options next time! read more

Great food and service!! We sat in Sarahs section and she was terrific! We will be back again soon.

I am honestly really impressed by Eureka's service from both Kylie and the manager. We started our dinner service at the bar. The cocktail my boyfriend order was amazing, the presentation was wonderful for the whiskey cocktail. For dinner, we had a burger, salmon, and pork belly. The pork belly was still a little tough, so not exactly pork belly that melts in your mouth. There is a sweet glaze that compliments the fattiness. The Fresno Fig burger I ordered had a perfect combination of flavors, it reminded me of a charcuterie board. We had the salmon, but it was too salty and the sides did not balance it out. We ordered the Napa chicken sandwich as recommended by the manager and it was better. It's like an elevated BLT sandwich. Kylie was really prompt with checking in with us after we received our appetizer and entrees. When we had an issue with the salty salmon, the manager was not defensive about replacing it. The vibe was pretty moody for a sunday evening. But they have large heated patio that is popular among patrons. They also have some TVs near the bar for your sports needs. read more

It is so happening here on a Friday afternoon for happy hour! They have really good brussels sprouts. The manager is super cute and nice.

My friend has a pilates class down in the area so my bf and I decided to meet her for dinner. It's been a long time for all of us since we've been down to Eureka so we went. Our host had the same necklace as my boyfriend and I which was so funny! Our server was very sweet and friendly, unfortunately I forgot his name. My bf ordered the spicy chicken sandwich, I ordered the 28 day bone marrow burger, and my friend ordered the poke stack. I've tried a lot of the burgers from here but never tried this one. It was so good and I got it with garlic aioli instead of the horseradish one. 10/10 recommend because that was so juicy and good! Overall we had a great time catching up and eating food! read more
