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

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

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

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

I was there with a friend & my sisters. Behind us was a group of friends & next to them was a couple on a date. Very veriste. The sandwich was out of this world. The server was super excited about it being our first time there & friendly. Can't wait to go back. 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

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. The selection of beers was excellent. I highly recommend the Peacemaker Blonde. The food was excellent. Our waiter Hubert was awesome. It is a short walk from many great downtown Austin hotels. This is a restaurant I will love to visit again. read more

Very good. Great old fashioned and food was tasty. Will go back !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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

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

Absolutely the best chicken sandwich in a 50mile radius. Seriously good food!! Great prices too for 6th street!

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

Cool little place right down in the middle of it all. We had lunch there and the staff was really nice. I think they were a little short handed because our server was buried but he did a really good job not letting on but we could tell he was rushing. The food was EXCELLENT the truffle fries which I know are just fries really exceeded expectations. They were so good. We also split a burger and a quesadilla and both were well prepared and tasty. We both agreed next time we're just going to get arugula salad for our sides as it was another highlight. 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

My husband had the BBQ Bacon burger and he said it's greasy but good, he liked it. He had the regular French fries and they were fine as well. I ordered the regular cheeseburger it was also greasy but ok, the onion was billed as "grilled" but it was really just hot. Mine was delivered with no condiments and the sweet potato fries were dripping in oil. I used paper napkins to try and blot the oil off but it didn't work they were mushy and had no salt. Not edible. The service was fine. 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

Cool spot right in the middle of everything in Austin. We went a bit early and they were pretty dead. Maybe 3 or 4 tables with people and that was it. Even with that our service was not great. The waitress was super nice when she was around, but then she'd disappear for 20 minutes at a time......I got the fish and chips and they were alright.....Nothing special, and I would order something else if I went back. I also got the Eureka Sour. It was a decent Whiskey Sour, but I prefer mine with a rye whiskey and this one lacked that punch for sure. We ordered a side of the Sweet Potato fries for the table, and that was for sure the best thing I tried. They were Bussin! Overall, Idt I'd roll back here personally. 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

Tried other Eureka locations before, but loved this one. Ordered different appetizers, drinks and mains. What stood out: crispy brussel sprouts and the fresno fig burger with grilled chicken. The combination of flavors are just so good. Service was also great. Service was great and they were able to make modifications on the dishes. Good for some american cravings and that grilled chicken hit the spot with a good ratio of flavors. read more

Bad nachos, don't get the nachos, the nachos are not good, and, plus, the nachos are like $18? These are $10 nachos at best.

I hit up Eureka! twice on my short visit to Austin. We stayed primarily for a drink and some apps. The atmosphere is great, but both times we visited they seemed very short on wait staff... like very short, and the restaurant was only about 25% full. Everyone was scrambling, doing the best they could, but you can't help but feel the stress of a taxed waitstaff. The food was slow to arrive, but we weren't in a hurry and had no complaints about the food itself. read more

She didn't inform me they were an up charge not a big deal but they were not good and cold.
