Great food. Fast and friendly service. Rustic and lively atmosphere in a good neighborhood.

Austin did not disappoint when it came to food. One of our stops was Eureka. We sat at the bar and the service was great. I don't remember the margarita we had but it had cucumber in it. It was so refreshing. We ordered the nachos , wings and mac n cheese balls. The nachos were good and the salsa had a slight sweetness to it. A nice touch. The mac and cheese balls surprised me having a some heat to it. Very tasty. The wings were my favorite. Nothing fancy. Just well seasoned. I can see this being a great place to sit at the bar or grab a table for more of a date vibe. I enjoyed ! read more

Went for lunch with a few co-workers. The food is good, we ordered various burgers and a chicken sandwich. The service however was super slow! Like to the point we almost left as they took forever to take our order or come back for us to be able to pay. They were severely understaffed and the waitress did her best. So maybe management should revisit staffing to ensure faster service but food over all was good! read more

On my first night in Austin, Texas, staying downtown at The Driskill, I grabbed dinner across the street at a lovely whiskey and burger bar with a wonderful selection of bourbons, cocktails, and burgers that offer gluten-free bun options. Eureka! The ambiance was quite dark and cool, with antler-built chandeliers and LED lighting radiating from parts of the bar and walls toward the back. The bartender was hospitable and patient as I scanned the menu for drinks and food. The Fresno Fig burger and white Truffle Cheese Fries were quite yummy. You can order any of their burgers and sandwiches with gluten-free bread as an alternative, which was great since I had cut out most bread from my diet. They have a solid whiskey selection to enjoy neat, on the rocks, mixed, or in a cocktail. The George T Stagg was one bottle I saw right away that I couldn't pass up for the price they offered, compared to other bars I have seen it. Cocktails such as their Morning, Peaches were additionally delicious, which turned out to be the finisher of my meal. read more

Enjoyed our meal. Four people - five macaroni ball's, three burgers, one Cesar salad. Great service. 100% on top of it. Macaroni Balls - do it. 5 in a serving. Better than expected. BBQ Burger - good. But not as many onion strings as in the glamour photos on yelp. Cheese Burger - yum, great sauce and pickles. Smash Burger - bigger than most smash burgers. Was expecting thinner pattys but came out stacked. Fries - crispy and salty. Pretty darn perfect. Not on the menu, GREAT MUSIC. I loved what they were playing. read more

Ok, so I've visited Austin in the past and I wanted to try something new. My granddaughter (13 yoa) selected Eureka! and I'm so glad that she did. We walked in and were greeted by a hostess who was warm, pleasant and engaging. We were seated right away so I took a spin around the bar. The bourbon (& whiskey) offerings were impressive. They had a large selection at fair prices. So we are 8, 13 & 60. You might imagine that all of us have different expectations in food, service and entertainment. It all started to come together for us when Katie S. stopped by and introduced herself as our server. This young lady is a master of her craft. She was enough of everything and not too much of anything. Katie was friendly & engaging and she is intimately familiar with both the food menu and the alcohol offerings. She made subtle suggestions with the children but when I told her I was torn between two selections, she made a recommendation that was decisive. She offered an explanation for her suggestion and it made sense to me so I went with it. Not being familiar with local IPAs I asked for a suggestion to pair with my entree which Katie had selected. She hesitated ZERO! I am telling you, this woman is a true professional. Both were excellent!! The food arrived and in total it included; kids Mac-n-Cheese, spicy fried chicken sandwich and the pastrami reuben with a side of Mac-n-cheese balls 2 beers and a slice of carrot cake. The food was, across the board, 9 out of 10 we were completely satisfied. You'd be wrong if you're thinking, that's basic food, how hard could it be? While these selections sound like standard fare, they were each elevated in their own way. That said, Katie S was the star of the show! She stopped by often, but didn't hover. She made recommendations decisively, with tons of confidence and self assurance. My youngest was enthralled with Katie and engaged her in conversation. Katie was reallllly good with her. She seemed enthusiastic and interested, but cut it off eloquently keeping the child's feelings intact. Eureka! is firing on all 8 cylinders! Give this place a try for the food, drinks, and service. Stay for the live entertainment which will make your soul soar. read more

I thought the food here was pretty good but nothing special. The location was why we came here as we were heading to a speakeasy nearby afterwards for drinks. I just split the Brussel sprouts, Mac n cheese bites and the ahi poke stack with my boyfriend and they filled us up. The portions were pretty big. I'd say the best thing was the poke stack which was served with wonton chips and a yummy sauce. read more

Asked and checking with bartenders x2 about whiskey flights and got ripped off and refused to charge me from what I was told and yes did take a few dollars off but not what I was told as a customer asking and double checking then refused to honor what I was told Food good management not with basically lying to me as a customer If you promote something honor what you say Was told $24 for anything one the list and tried charging me $40 It's the principle of the fact and i double checked with my server read more

Not bad for a place in Downtown that has decent burgers that come with plenty of fries on the side. I didn't appreciate the random fruit flies at my booth, but despite that, the food quality and service was good! Our server checked in on us what seemed like every ten minutes, lol. I shared a plate of brussels sprouts that were delicious, but could have been crispier in my opinion. For my burger, I got the beet burger which had a gorgeous pink-purple hue on the inside and the right amount of crisp and crunch. The burger could have had more aioli/sauce, but at least it came with a generous amount of ketchup for both the bun and fries. Prices were reasonable too! read more

Wow. First time here. We started with the Mac and Cheese balls (sorry, no pic - but the pictures already shown accurately represent them). I was expecting a typical cheese flavor. But there was a nice little zing from the beer cheese and (I think maybe) Fresno chilies. Not enough to be spicy, just enough to enrich the flavor. Bottom line, they were really good. For dinner, my wife ordered hand breaded chicken tenders with a salad. I ordered a Cowboy Burger with fries. Burger was amazing. Great meat, bun, shoestring onions - everything. The chicken tenders, I particularly like how they are cut long and thin. Definitely fresh, hand battered. Service is really good. Nice casuall ambiance. The biggest issue is that we are not 6th street types. It is on 6th street. So if you like coming to this area, this is a must try. read more

My friend and I had a nice, quiet weekday dinner there. Mikey, our server recommended the pork bbq sandwich topped with coleslaw. It was so good, but could've used a little more coleslaw. I got the arugula salad as a side with it. We shared the grilled broccolini and I would HIGHLY recommend it. Mikey was a good server. read more

Food was great but the table we were at is right by the bathroom and it smells so freaking bad. I understand some bathroom moments aren't great but the entire experience smelled so bad which made our experience such a bad one. I could barely eat. read more

Honestly I had really high hopes for this place. I hate leaving bad reviews but for the price point you would expect more. Especially being on 6th street. Firstly we walked in there was maybe 6 other people dining. Seating was fast however service was not. Appetizers: * Mac N Cheese Balls 3/10. They look like they would taste good but majority of what you get is the bread batter not actual Mac n cheese. Tasted more like hush puppies if anything. Entrees: * Baja fish tacos 2/10 Again presentation is great but taste was not. Had little to no flavor. For the price point the tacos are super small. Waiter told us it came with 4 ended up with 3. The ranch it came with was good though. *Eureka All American with Truffle Fries & cheese 3/10 The onion is a little over kill. The buns were stale/cold and tasted like they came from Walmart. The actual meat of the burger was okay. The fries were not the best. Tasted old and soggy in oil. Smelled weird as well. read more

While down on Sixth Street to see a show at the Comedy Mothership down the block, we decided to have dinner beforehand at Eureka!, a casual dining and drinking establishment nearby. The menu is a nice mix of traditional burgers, salads and more with some modern updates. I ordered the jalapeño egg burger and it was served exactly as I wanted, a perfect medium rare. The bun came buttered and toasted and it was a great combination. Excellent service provided by our waiter, David. I'll bring my friends here on future visits. Recommended. read more

Staff were very friendly and service was quick. They have a pretty decent Espresso Martini and the food was delicious. They are known for their burgers but I went with the Fish and Chips and they did not disappoint. The truffle cheese fries were also fantastic and I would definitely recommend them. The atmosphere was relaxed and we were sat next to an open window at the front of the restaurant which was nice. Would definitely return. read more

First time coming into Eureka on East 6th in Austin! The food was really good! My gf and I got the broccolini to share. (Trying to be baddies that eat veggies) it didn't disappoint. I got the ahi ahi tuna half salad. It was plenty of food and had a lot of flavor. My friend got the fish tacos with sweet potato fries. She liked her meal. We sat at the bar. The bartender was super sweet! She gave us some recommendations of things we should do while we were in town! Would def come back! read more

I don't usually leave reviews, but I felt compelled to warn others about our experience at Eureka. Let's start with the food: subpar at best. The seared salmon was overcooked and dry, and the fish and chips tasted like it made with frozen fish--not fresh or flavorful. But the real reason for this review is the terrible service. Our waitress told us upfront that a gratuity would be automatically added because it was the weekend--something I've never encountered at a table of four. Then we were handed a bill that included $100 for just two margaritas. Here's how that happened: My sister asked for a margarita with Don Julio. The server told us they didn't have it, so my sister requested another top-shelf option. They ended up charging us for the most expensive tequila they had in the restaurant, without any mention of the price or offering a comparable alternative. When we pointed this out, the waitress and manager argued with us, claiming Don Julio isn't even top shelf, which is simply false. They refused to remove the drinks from our bill and instead took off two appetizers. This could have been a frustrating but forgettable experience, except that we couldn't shake the feeling that it may have been racially motivated and predatory. The dismissiveness, the upcharges, the lack of transparency, and the tone of the conversation all felt wrong. I do not recommend this restaurant. Do not go here. Spend your money somewhere where the service is respectful and the food is actually tastes good. read more

Service was fast and everyone was kind and welcoming. We were seated on a high top near the bar which was perfect for watching multiple football games at once. The food was ok and pricey. I got the wings with the dry rub. The wings come 7 for $17. Why? lol the taste was ok. I ended up asking for bbq sauce to make them better. My partner got the bison burger with sweet potato fries. His burger was dry. He also asked for additional sauce to enhance the taste. We shared the Brussels sprouts. These were good. Very flavorful but a small plate. Overall- the menu descriptions are top notch but the flavors of our dishes left a lot to be desired. read more

There wasn't a host or bartender when we got there they had to go find her. The food was good! We ordered Mac and cheese balls & a burger. The inside had a weird smell but overall once we had a bartender it was good. read more

One word... Eureka! definition : a cry of joy or satisfaction when one finds or discovers something. Honestly I ended up here by mistake. I was en route to sushi by scratch. But they were closed and this pleasant find was shining bright next do'. First up: THE BISON This burger had some beef to it if ya know what I'm saying. A lil sawce. A lil peppa'. A little mutha f****** love baby. Damn fine. 9.25 HONEY CINNAMON SWEET POTATO FRIES These were the truth and the whole truth. Damn sunny. Crispy in all the right places and sweet potatoey too. Yum times 3. That shite will have yer mouth smackin with joy. Got some hot coffee a chocolate cake, too. The chocolate cake came out with some whipped cream on top in a little hot bowl dish, and some additional chocolate sawce to pour on that bishhh. Twas a good meal. I'd get the burg and fries again. read more

First visit, easily accessible at an intersection with paid parking on the street. Greeted at hostess stand by friendly staff, immediately ushered to a table as the restaurant was slowly filling up by the dinner crowd. There is a small stage for live music with a relaxed atmosphere throughout and ample seating. We enjoyed our delicious meals of pulled pork sandwich and fries and juicy medium well burger and fries. read more

To start, the establishment is located in downtown Austin and is on the corner of 6th Street. On first view, it's a hole in the wall but the atmosphere is extremely nice. Upon entry we were greeted by a hostess, she sat us at a table for 4. We requested a larger table because well, we like to eat. We were told that table wasn't available because an interview was coming. Our waiter, Francis, must of been having a bad day because he was not the best. Our drinks were empty, he didn't woo us, no etiquette, no greeting, plates were stacking up which we stacked ourselves. Now I know you're wondering well how do you know his name? We had to call the manager because the service was bad! When we expressed our issues, we mentioned the interview, the manager stated that there wasn't any interviews. Now onto the food, the Wild Child drink was extremely tasty! If you do anything, order that (21+). We ordered Bone Marrow Burgers, truffle fries, Mac and cheese balls, spicy chicken sandwich, and chicken tenders. The Bone Marrow burgers were perfect! The spicy chicken sandwich was delicious. The chicken tenders were primarily bread. There was no chicken inside, so I re-ordered the spicy chicken sandwich. The only thing saving this review is the truffle fries and Mac and cheese balls. I'm actually pretty sad because we came from VA to visit friends who stated this place was really good. It did not live up to the hype. 2/10 recommend. read more

Welcome to my favorite place to sit down and grab a savory burger. A few pro tips: I would suggest coming during their "Hoppy Hour" as they actually have a really good one. Also, download their app! I was able to get a delicious Mac N Cheese Ball appetizer FOR FREE! & yes, please order this one... you won't regret it. I ordered the Truffle Cheese Fries & the Double Smash Burger, which were both extraordinary. 10/10 would order again! If you have never had a smash burger, it's a style where they actually flatten the patty to make it more crispy. For drinks: highly recommend either the Wild Child (vodka-based) &/or the Industry Margarita (tequila-based), which are both on the Hoppy Hour menu. read more

Went here recently and I would give it a solid 8/10. The restaurant is perfect for its location. It's not too dark or bright and it is pretty spacious. The music was sort of loud though. The service was friendly and quick. And the menu is a nice size giving options to nearly any palate. The taste of their burger definitely reminded me of an old fashioned burger in the best way possible. And the truffle fries were amazing I wish there were a few more. The nachos allow you to pick your protein and I went with steak. The nachos were very tasty but the peppers were super hot! Overall I enjoyed the food and the service was good. I would return if I'm ever downtown and want a tasty bite. read more

The food was really good. They are very busy so there could be a wait. It's right on the corner, and they left the front doors open and the outdoor was busy and loud. Caesar salad didn't have enough dressing. The fries were really good. The salmon was a bit dry and lack favor. It seemed frozen. But the mashed potatoes were really good too. read more

We came with an 8-person group. The restaurant was pretty empty at 530pm except for some people at the bar. The highlight is our waitress, who was attentive the entire time. She made sure that everything tasted good and we got our drinks refilled. We ordered a ton of appetizers as a start. I enjoyed the brussels sprouts and ordered 2 more portions of it (crazy I know). The fries, shishito peppers, and mac n cheese balls were also tasty. My main dish was the grilled salmon. I didn't want the potato puree or green beans. I replaced it with broccolini instead (with cashews on top). I thought the substitution was tasty and somewhat more healthy. Thank you Eureka for accommodating all my modifications! The minus 1 star is for the price. I thought the price was pretty steep, especially for the appetizers. It might be pretty standard for downtown though! read more

My wife and I just had a wonderful evening at this beautiful restaurant on 6th street. The place was spotless clean, warm, inviting and everyone from the hostess to manager were so friendly.

This is a restaurant I will love to visit again. read more

My friends and I came here after flying in to Austin because it was near our Airbnb and we were starving. I've always been a fan of Eureka but haven't been in years. It was just as good as I remembered. We ordered a round of drinks and some appetizers. We got the spinach artichoke dip, Mac and cheese balls, and brussel sprouts. Everything was delicious with the highlight being the Mac and cheese balls. They were slightly spicy and had the perfect crunch to them. I got the cowboy burger for my meal and it was so good. Perfectly cooked, juicy, and packed with flavor. The fries were also tasty. My friend got the same and commented on how good her burger was as well. Everyone else enjoyed what they got. Service was quick and friendly. Absolutely no complaints. I recommend coming here if you're craving a burger. And make sure to get the Mac and cheese balls too. read more

I visited Austin this weekend, and my cousin recommended this restaurant. They have a decent food menu, and the drink menu has a lot of good options. We sat at the bar. I liked the vibe. It was chill, and the bartender was friendly. We ordered appetizers since we weren't starving. The mac and cheese balls were good. The breading was crunchy, and the mac and cheese was cheesy. The spinach artichoke dip was delicious. They served it with chips and bread. It was super crunchy and seasoned. I had an expresso martini. My only complaint I have is that my fiancé ordered Cali flower bites, and they smelled like fish. I liked how the martini wasn't strong. It was the best one I had so far read more

Saturday lunch in Austin was great! Eureka did not dissappoint. The broad menu selection was a pleasant change from all of the burgers and bbq. I had the blackened fish tacos and they were spectacular. The side salad was a little skimpy, but not a complete let down. Our server was from Malaga, Spain and was young and delightful. With a decent selection of mocktails and other NA beverages, Eureka is a fresh change from other restaurants on the dirty 6. read more

My Yelp bestie and I checked this place out before a show at the Paramount. I made a 5:30 reservation and because of traffic, I barely made it. I called while stuck on 6th street and the hostess was super nice about the late arrival. The bone marrow burger was incredible. I cannot explain how much of a texture gal I am but it hit every note. The broccolini was decent but it wouldn't vouch for it. I knocked a star for the attention from our server. She got overwhelmed and I believe the restaurant was short staffed so we didn't get to order a second beer on happy hour and we didn't get enough water refills. The happy hour pricing is nice for beers but the options are limited. This is a very safe place for a family or large gathering. I would be back! read more
