This is a fun spot! Right dt off 6th street. We met up here for dinner before we went to the mothership. And it was awesome. The burger was amazing. I'd definitely go back for it. We had a party of 7 and they didn't miss a beat on our service. Great experience!
Fried pickles and the wygu burger was awesome. The old fashions were delicious. Service by the bartenders was great always made sure we were taken care
We parked a few blocks away and walked down to Sixth Street, which was a nice area to be in. From the moment we walked in we were greeted warmly and seated immediately. Our server made sure to let us know happy hour was going on, which was nice. The drinks were a good start. I had a really nice margarita and my mom ordered the sweet tea, which she enjoyed. For food, I ordered the brussels sprouts off the happy hour menu and thought they were good. For entree's My mom got one of their burgers and I ordered the fish and chips. My mom really enjoyed her burger. As for me, the first piece of my fish was fine. When I went back to eat the rest I realized the fish was actually undercooked, which was pretty disappointing. What I will say is that the manager handled it really well. She came over, removed it from my bill, and brought me another round of margaritas. That kind of service recovery goes a long way and I appreciated it. Overall the ambiance was nice, the drinks were good, and most of the food hit the mark. The fish and chips were a miss but the way the staff handled it made up for it. I would give Eureka another shot.
Here for a trip! This is a chain restaurant but the $13 lunch drew us in! Not busy and super quick service! Food was good for the price. Sweet potato fries weren't cooked how I like them but that is preference! Overall good experience for quick lunch!
Wow, it's been such a long time since I've been to Eureka. I was downtown a little early for an event. So I popped in to Eureka to kill some time. Just grabbed a cocktail real quick. The cocktail was called Wild Child. A little vodka, watermelon, and a spicy rim. Wicked good. The watermelon flavor was refreshing, and with that habanero spice rim really complimented the sweet. Bravo. Delicious!
It's been years since I've been to a Eureka (in Berkeley) but I decided to check out their happy hour after checking out the Ariana grande pop up. The fish and shrimp tacos ($4 each), brussel sprouts ($7), and truffle fries ($4) were all delicious and prepared quickly!! No notes! Portions for the brussel sprouts and truffle fries were great. Lots of seating, including at the bar with many TVs.
Overall: 3.4/5 We came back on two separate occasions (dine in and take out), and the food wasn't as good as the first time we dined here. Farmers' Market Cocktail ($15.50): Our waitress recommended this gingerbread cocktail, but it fell short of expectations. The gingerbread flavor was barely detectable, though they did serve it with an ice cube shaped like a gingerbread man. Wagyu Bone Marrow Burger ($23) + Beer Battered Onion Rings ($3): A medium rare beef patty with bone marrow shiitake butter, grilled onions, horseradish mustard aioli, and roasted tomatoes. Unfortunately, the patty was dry and lacked juiciness, and the bone marrow shiitake butter flavor didn't come through. The burger as a whole was surprisingly bland. I'm not even convinced the tomatoes and grilled onions made it in, as it tasted like a bare bones, basic burger. The onion rings were decent and crispy. Double Smash Burger ($20.75) + Sweet Potato Fries ($3): Garlic dijonnaise, red onions, dill pickles, and American Swiss cheese. This was an improvement over the Wagyu Bone Marrow Burger, with noticeably more flavor, though I wished it came with lettuce and tomatoes. The sweet potato fries would have benefited from being air fried, as they would taste better crisped. Lettuce Wrap ($18.25): You can choose between chicken or tofu, and we went with chicken. The gochujang based sauce gave it a great flavor that we really enjoyed. That said, some of the lettuce had blackened edges and one piece had a bug on it. They really need to wash and inspect the lettuce more thoroughly. Crispy Glazed Brussels Sprouts ($12): The orange chili glaze and chimichurri created an amazing flavor profile. However, the Brussels sprouts were anything but crispy despite being air fried, which is probably because they were extremely oily. Purple Haze ($6): An interesting and enjoyable drink.
Great place - every dish was very well prepared - but the best part of the meal was the cheese cake! WOW that was amazing! Service was good and provided good recommendations - a must try while in town.
Amazing! This location is similar to one near I grew up! Same feel, same food and great staff! Food is consistent from the original location we came from and the staff here is just as great!!! Thank you Eureka! for everything and being where we wanna eat! The food is hands down always fantastic =D
My friends and I came here late on a Sunday night after watching the bats at Congress Bridge. It is not a far walk and it looked pretty popular compared to other restaurants we had passed while exploring the city. The hostess greeted us warmly and we were quickly seated. Our server was lots of fun and patient with us as we took our time determining drinks and meals. We started with their nachos appetizer to split, which was really good. The chips were evenly covered with toppings, and it was just enough to get us through until our meals. My friend and I split their special burger that day, which was a green goddess burger and swapped the regular patty for a veggie patty. It was great! The veggie patty reminded me a lot of falafel, which is one of my favorite foods, and it went really well with their green goddess dressing and other toppings. We also both got their sweet potato fries as a side. They come with a spicy aoli that went very well with them. The rest of the group got the same burger, the Bone Marrow, which was a mix of regular beef and waygu. Everyone said it was probably one of the best burgers they've ever had in their lives! The vibes of this place were great, the staff was great, and the food was the greatest part of all. When we come back to Austin, this place will for use be on our list to stop at again!
I loved the "hoppy hour" yes you read correct! The happy hour has some really amazing drinks cocktail features & light bites. The dry rub wings with a side of buffalo & blue cheese dressing over ranch was perfection!. The truffle fries are great! The Ceasar salad is a great side. I really like the shrimp tacos. The grilled fish taco needed some seasoning or salt or pepper. I squeezed some limes on top & that did the trick for the fish. My server was great! The only con was the street parking & lack there of. You may have to park & walk. Hence why the happy hour deals & available street parking near!
Food was pretty good. Very college/bachelorette vibe. The live musician was wonderful It was quiet a bit of a wait even with a reservation
We were able to get a reservation here. Seating went smoothly. The waitress was a little confusing when we asked for separate checks. They only wanted to do four checks but we were a party of 6. It was odd because at the end of the meal she gave us the amount of checks we wanted so not sure why it was made into a big deal. My cocktail the wild child was very tasty and well balanced. I loved the truffle cheese fries and also got to try my friends honey cinnamon sweet potato fries. All very good. I tried the bone marrow topped burger and it was awesome. Now I did have bad stomach issues right after eating here so I'm pretty sure it's from something I ate. read more

Service was TERRIBLE!!! Took 15 minutes just to cash out. Restaurant wasn't busy, our waiter just seemed lazy. We would have to ask for drink refills, and where lucky to get one. When he first took our drink order he didn't bring me mine until he had to refill my boyfriends. Not to mention zero parking, and the large amount of "unfortunate" sitting outside the restaurant starting at you while you eat while a naked women dry humping the parking meter. The Food, it was alright.. Parmesan truffle fries where amazing, Parmesan crusted burger was 7/10, bone marrow burger was generously 4/10. read more
Just what I needed after landing in Austin. Had a couple of hours before my meeting and needed to fuel up. This place is smack in the middle of all the action, and extreme homelessness. I had the burger, so I'm sure there's still more to try here. Decor-open and airy. Much larger inside then it looks from the outside. It reminds me of an upscale farmers market meets a cool bbq joint. Service-was good, nothing to complain about. Food-it was a solid burger. Good size, decent portion of fries. I wish it had more goat cheese and fig bacon jam. Might not back, wasn't a fan of the area. read more

Small portions, have to improve on quality and quantity of food they serve. A plate of Fish Taco consists of 3 miniature sized Tacos and fries. Salmon Salad is a small plate of Lettuce with a piece os Salmon( size of Salmon was acceptable) . Probably a good place to hang on for a drink and music , but not for food. read more
About the only place on 6th Street that had quiet dining it has an old industrial style ambience with reclaimed wood all around. A large list of whiskey, beer and wine. I had a Caymus red blend which was excellent. My wife and I shared their house salad to start. It was above average and the vinaigrette they used really added flavor without being too bold. We also shared the bison burger with the hot pepper on the side. It's a good thing we did, because wife said it was HOT! The burger was cooked perfectly and the rest of the toppings along with the toasted brioche bun made it above average too. We opted for the sweet potato fries which had a sweet seasoning. We would have preferred salt, but they were still good and a nice compliment to the burger. Our server (Lilly) was outstanding. The perfect blend of knowledge, care and personality. read more

There are quite a few "honky tonk" bars serving drinks on 5th, the party street. Eureka is the local upscale burger bar. It has some trendiness with the bone marrow burger, but my plain old American cheeseburger did the trick. You can get a find some good microbrews and the bar is staffed with bartenders who are mixologists. It's a nice oasis from the party atmosphere. read more
The "Ahi Tuna poke stack" was fresh and delicious! Bison Burger with Lettuce bun and the $85 William Larue Weller shot was strong and smooth , great Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey. Good atmosphere, very fancy. Great customer service, our bartender Blake, was very lovely. read more

This was our first time here and Skylar was absolutely wonderful! Met our special needs and accommodated a larger group of post-convention supernatural fans that simply wanted food and alcohol. The food was great while the service was well above amazing. Job well done! read more
Highly recommend!!!! The food was delicious! The service was awesome, Thank you Eva and the other guys that came to our table!! Their restaurant was clean and so were the restrooms. The plate I had was a perfectly fried fish, with a side of perfectly fried Mac and cheese balls topped with chives . Everyone else's dishes looked great and they got great compliments! Wings are good, burrito was good, and sandwich was good ( as per my party that I came with). It is a definite must try. They do not have a big menu, but what they had was great! Thank you all for a great experience!! read more

I was so excited to try this place, based on those scrumptious photos of fried shoestring onion mounds topping a juicy looking burger. Nice looking ambiance--a fountain by the entrance. Huge bar with TVs in the middle of the restaurant. At 3pm on a Wednesday, tons of tables were available. We were served by a waitress and a water trainee. They were both nice and smiley, but too busy to pay us any attention during our experience. I feel bad writing this, as they both had good intentions and were just too busy with his training. However, we got zero attention from them. No one checked up on us. When we both asked for mayo, we got one tiny sauce cup. Brining two, one for each of us, would be too bothersome? We had to lookout when they'd pass our table to request more mayo. Again, only one tiny sauce cup was brought to us. Such little details are annoying, yet they really mark an experience. We didn't feel welcome or attended to. Contactless menu--scan the QR code with your phone, review the menu and place your order online. No cash. Card only. You can pay through your phone or the waiter will ring your bill. My friend's Phone did not recognize the code. This might be a hassle for those who are not tech savvy or have faulty, old phones. Not the most convenient system. Automatic 16% service fee will be added to every bill. $13 Cowboy Burger was tasty but too greasy. Medium rare was just perfect for the meat, which was tender and juicy. No sauce on the burger though--just a splotch of ketchup on the bun. A major fail. Who wants to eat a dry burger without sauce? The burger was altogether too greasy--it was dripping grease all over. Fries were awful. Pre-frozen, bland, zero texture. Get Sweet Potato Fries for $2 upcharge. We were digesting that greasy meal for the whole day. Could barely fall asleep from the heaviness in my stomach. read more

Great place for burgers and other comfort food. The service was good and the restaurant is spacious. The food was delish and plentiful. The pork ribs were tasty and you can choose from a tangy or spicy bbq sauce read more
I was in Austin for a show and I had to eat at Eureka! again. The bone marrow burger was still a winner and the mac n cheese balls were delicious as well. They have plenty of beer and whiskey for your enjoyment.The manager is Spencer and he was very friendly. Spencer gave me some great tips on other cool spots to check out downtown.The food didn't disappoint and the drinks were great. It's a great place to start or end your night out. Great food and service is always a great way to go. read more
Told you we'd be back. Eureka is becoming a tradition when we travel to Austin. The wait is still long but, we always come when it's Saturday and super busy. Obviously we came back so, it's not a bother because, their drinks are great! read more

Terrific hipster food and modern decor. Interesting almost pergolas at the back where you can have the illusion of privacy. I loved the atmosphere and the waitstaff seem happy and competent. The Fresno Fig may be one of the best things I've eaten. read more
Hands down my favorite burger place in town!! I've been coming here for 3-4 years now and it never disappoints. I always start with the Crispy Glazed Brussels as my starter and the I get the Fig and Goat Cheese Burger. It slays!!! Cooked to perfection not to mention juicy and flavorful. My only complaint is I wish they had valet parking - sorry I have bougie tendencies. It's a high traffic area so if you make reservations, plan on making time to find street parking or parking at a near by garage. Overall - absolutely recommend if you're looking for an elevated and delicious burger experience! read more
pretty cool spot towards the west part of 6th st. I loved that it served craft beers and whiskeys...not the 3-5 domestics every place has. we tried a flight of whiskeys and a local craft beer. also ordered some fried mac-n-cheese balls...everything we had was great! read more

I visited this place one Friday night when 6th street was pretty busy. This restaurant was so good I went back twice in one day. The ambiance is lovely in the inside with a huge bar area. Everything I ate was good. The salad was refreshing, the bourbon bbq dry-rub wings were tender and crispy along with the truffle fries. The Mac & cheese balls were a perfect starter before my meal. This place is a must try for a night out with friends, alone, or even a little date night. The staff were friendly and helpful. I loved this restaurant MUST TRY!!! read more

Staff were very welcoming and attentive. The restaurant is not well lit but has seating by the windows for natural light. Food was average. The burgers tasted like the grill and were not seasoned. Glad we tried it but I won't be going back. read more

Hamburgers were good but the winner here were the orange chili wings. Those are a must try. The only downside on the burgers was that the bread was a bit on the dry side on all three burger. Our server Lorena was attentive and friendly. read more

I was nervous about how the fig marmalade would taste, turns out, it was DELICIOUS with the goat cheese combination! Pairing it with sweet potato fries was an excellent choice. I got my burger without bacon or mustard, and it was still quite amazing! Only small critique is that the hot sauce was not real hot sauce, it was Buffalo wing sauce, and that's a bummer being in Austin, Texas. Beware that ALL sides besides regular fries or Mac and cheese are $3 extra. It's written in fine print, hard to read. read more

PROS: I loved coming and eating here, and the staff was extremely nice to us through the process. The prices and portions were good for everything and they even had American whiskey. Very spacious and had a texas theme to it CONS: the ribs portion was tiny and there is only paid street parking, which is tough to find a spot. OVERALL: great place to come and eat if you're in town. You will not regret it read more
Decided to grab lunch while in town on the Fourth of July. 6th street was pretty busy but we were the first to arrive at Eureka! We were seated promptly & quickly greeted by our server. We each chose a burger & upgraded our side of fries. I chose the Jalapeño Egg Burger with honey-cinnamon sweet potato fries & my friend chose the Black & Blue burger with truffle cheese fries. Both of us were very happy with our choices. The jalapeño egg burger was slightly tangy from the jalapeños, I couldn't put it down. The tang paired well with the sweetness from the sweet potato fries. Both my friend & I joked that the food was so good that we didn't want to stop eating it. I will definitely stop by next time I'm in the area. read more
Update: We we're invited to come back in by the manager Spencer, and boy are we glad we did. We had SUCH a fun time & ate delicious food. Our server was Katie and she was outstanding...so kind & knowledgeable about the food. Their drink specials are very yummy & the sweet potato fries are to DIE for. We must've caught them on an off night when we came last because this time was such a different experience. We will definitely be coming back with friends next time. read more

I got the fig burger! Taste amazing, would definitely want to go back and try more of their burgers. It does have a very bitter taste due to the arugula, so if you don't like bitter, I wouldn't recommend fig burger. I honestly don't really taste the fig jam that much, the goat cheese is a bit overpowering. The burger was very filling and worth the price. I LOVE their fries though. If you like McDonalds fries you'll love their fries. It's like a higher quality McDonald fries lol. I meant it as a compliment! read more
This was our first time trying Eureka, and it was after searching many other restaurants. One of our favorite restaurants closed last week, and we needed something good and lots of variety in the menu, because we like to share appetizers. We enjoyed the dry rub and orange glaze wings so much, that we ordered another plate of them! They were a bit pricey, but splitting the order with someone else helps. The Brussels sprouts were flavorful, and toppings were satisfying. The staff was friendly, the service was fast, and we are definitely going back! read more

Service was good and they were very attentive. The food was really good, and they do happy hour till close. Darker atmosphere but was really nice ambiance at nights read more
Pleasantly surprised by Eureka! Don't be turned off by the location and/or if you're roped into some activity on Dirty, you can at least start the evening off with some class! It's very dim-lit. There's lots of different seating options (bar, cocktail tables, big long tables, etc). The tables for two aren't very large so it's hard to fit everything on the table and not feel overwhelmed, but all the more reason to eat it faster, I suppose. The burger is Eureka!'s specialty, so get one of those. They're on the pricier side but do come with fries. I'm guessing the price tag has to do with the Santa Carota beef, "a California Angus raised almost exclusively on a diet of carrots is our choice for a healthier, tastier, and happier burger. Hormone free, antibiotic free, and GMO free." So, at least you can rest assured that your cow was a happy one. The truffle mushroom burger was V delicious and I would order it again in a heartmeat. They do have some daily specials and hoppy hour Monday - Friday, 3pm to 6pm and 9pm to 11pm - with food and drink specials, and 11pm to Close - with specials on food only, so if you're looking to shave off a few bucks while still getting the quality goods they offer, that's your best bet! You can also check out the current waitlist and add yourself to it straight from their website. read more

Is there gluten free options?
The burgers can be wrapped in lettuce wraps, if that helps at all!
Menu with prices?
this place is a bit more elevated on menu and prices than the other places around, however it is also a more elevated quality and the prices are not super terrible. but don`t expect cheap eats here.
