We drove around the west side of town, what almost felt like circles trying to find a good spot to eat. We've eatin everything in town practically. So we were not in the mood for anything. We finally decided on Eureka! And I have to say, I was extremely pleased, the cowboy burger was delicious, and ambiance was exactly what I needed. Jake was our server would definitely recommend him. Great service. Nothing big happened besides that the mimosas we ordered took a tad to long and by then we needed to leave. But Julian the Manager came by to the table to apologize and left a great impression. This place definitely won us over will be back soon! read more

Great food! Great service! The staff is friendly and accommodating, they also make you feel welcomed with open arms.

Food was scrumptious. Atmosphere is really nice, will come again. Missing one star because they were out of some popular dishes read more

Been here twice. This place has lack luster service. The servers always seem like they have somewhere else to be and don't seem to care if you have what you need. The food, eh, it's ok- they have some interesting dishes that might be interesting to try out, but honestly, nothing that I'd crave or come back for more for. read more

Service was amazing for our party of 9. We were seated right away and appetizers and drinks were served quickly. Didn't take long for the main entrees to come out either. The food was delicious! The deck patio had warmers which made for a nice ambiance for eating outside. 10/10 would go again. read more

Got it on a bed of arugula instead of a bun and was still so good! Had a side of broccolini which was also tasty read more

Wonderful food--I had the beet veggie burger and salad. Set up for COVID is a bit strange--be prepared to order on your phone and bundle up as we were quite cold sitting outside here on a Saturday evening (even with heaters). read more

Eureka! - Beet veggie burger - American Near Me - Bakersfield, California

When is comes to gourmet burgers, Eureka is the place to go to in Bakersfield. I've had every burger they have from the Fresno Fig to the bone marrow burger and if I'm being completely honest, none of them have let me down. The service is great, the beer selection is off the hook and don't get me started on the appetizers! My go to here are the riblets and literally any burger they have! Take your pick. Thanks Eureka! read more

Great burgers! Good drinks. A bit too loud on the music indoors, felt like our party was shouting to be heard.

We haven't been to a restaurant in quite a while due to the pandemic. Eureka! has a really cool ordering and paying app that allows you to order through your phone and there's minimal, but just enough, contact with the servers. The beer selection was excellent with several local beers on tap. The hamburger was tasty, and cooked to order (you can choose everything on the app). This app method of paying should be adopted by all restaurants, regardless of the pandemic! Isn't it always irritating when you're ready to pay your tab and the server is no where in sight? Paying by app should be the new normal. We will return to Eureka! read more

I've been meaning to review this place forever. Love the food, great cocktails, and amazing Staff. I could live on the mac n' cheese balls. Shout out to the server, Tanya for always being attentive and sweet, I love sitting in her section! read more

I have been there before, food is pretty good, the service was you know like a "meh," but the ambiance was good and the area was pretty cozy. read more

We love this place! Great drinks and always amazing service! Food is always delicious! My hubby's fav is the fish tacos and i love their salads! Lots of different food choices for everyone to enjoy! You can go casual or date night! If you haven't checked it out..... you need to try it!! read more

Eureka ...... Hadn't been in over a year so it was kind of out of my rotation....Need to change that! I had gone for the slow cooked pork ribs with chimmchurri, that sounded amazing. Unfortunately they were out of them on a really slow Monday night. So I kind of had a negative vibe going and didn't expect to turn out good. But the waiter Matt fought through my negative vibe and left me feeling good about Eureka. Had the beef dip with smoked gouda and horseradish sauce. Could have used a bit more beef but that cheese and horseradish sauce were superb! Sweet potato fries were crisp and delish. Value..... Tough Call. Most people might be a little put back by the $14 dollar price tag on the beef dip. But all things considered I do think there is value. Eureka's has a nice feel its always super clean.... its kind of "upscale hipster" ( Upster???) to me. Place is a good spot for a relaxed dinner. read more

Just not a great place, Food wasn't bad but the service was just slow. 6 employees and12 guests at the tables. Over staffed and obviously no one considered it's a lunch hour during the week. Had to ask about their offered discount. The bathrooms hadn't been checked as they were a mess. No rush to get back again. read more

Too expensive just for a burger & fries. I can eat a steak much cheaper at home & it's tastier too. Don't waste you money. The Habit or In & Out has a better less expensive burger. read more

EUREKA this place is good! No wonder they named themselves that. We were recommended this place by some locals so we made sure to eat here before we leave. We came during happy hour so we were able to try some of their items at a cheaper price. The mac and cheese balls were crispy and yummy but not too heavy. I've had other versions that just feel so greasy and have too much breading, but this one was perfect. It tasted even better with the ranch on the side! My fried chicken sliders were so tasty and I think it was probably the juiciest chicken I've ever had. I love that they put mashed potatoes inside (but not too much) and the best part was that reaper sauce. It sounds scary but it has just enough heat so you can enjoy it without sweating in pain. I had a taste of the bone marrow burger which was super juicy as well! Someone told us their sweet potato fries were really good and I thought how could you make sweet potato fries any better? Well that person was right! Eureka makes their version with a hint of honey and cinnamon and you smell it the second it comes to your table. I need more ASAP! The charcoal lemonade was also pretty neat and not something usually offered in restaurants. The color is offputting but the taste was really good. I just wish they would either put less ice or provide refills, because it was a small cup with a lot of ice for $5. Loved the modern take on food here at Eureka. The staff were also very friendly and quick. We were in and out within 45 minutes. Thanks Eureka for a great experience! read more

Eureka! is easily a favorite of mine and my entire family. The food quality is top-notch, and consistently mouth-watering delicious. The service is invariably great, and the management team always ensures we're comfortable and happy. If you've never tried Eureka, it's a must. Note: the double-smash is phenomenal, and without fail cooked to perfection! read more

Love their food and bar! I wish they would bring back the watermelon salad though. That was one of my favorite dishes.

Me and my husband had a few hours mid afternoon on a Sunday to eat and connect. Me and my husband don't get to get out much and when my husband suggested we go here I was a little apprehensive as we didn't have that much time but agreed. We've been here before but it's been about 5 years since. I'm soooo glad we ate here. The customer service was amazing. We sat at the bar and the bartender Brandon was a complete gem. He literally made sure everyone was happy. Extremely hard worker who knew his stuff. I got the mimosa flight and double smash burger with truffle fries and it was delicious. My husband got a cowboy burger with Stone Buenaveza (lime beer) and he also loved it. All around just great little outing, nice atmosphere, people, and food. Also we didn't wait long at all which was nice because I was worried about time. read more

I give it a 4 with the hopes it will be a 4 the next time we spend 120 to feed 4 people hamburgers for what ever reason the food is always room temperature Staff works their tail end off but it just isn't worth the cost vs amount of food nor the aww flavor on anything I have had there We went back just after thanksgiving it was great warm hot tasty just give me more of those fries!! Plenty good stuff great service will return read more

Cowboy burger with sweet potato fries! Nothing fancy but it was a good burger! Good lunch menu at the Irvine location. Clean and hip area for all ages. We ordered the deep fried mac and cheese also and was good with a hint of spice kick to it. Great service when we went and clean surrounding. Good place for work meet-up / meetings. read more

Me and my friend were starving and since we haven't eaten I wanted something filling. We were hesitant to go to Eureka because of the atmosphere and felt like it was too pricey for us. I said, Who cares, let's try it! And man that was the best decision ever! Our server, Caroline, was the best waiters I've had in a long time. She was caring, attentive and suggested really great options for us. Management, give her a raise!!! Overall the food was so good, actually great better than I expected. We both got the cowboy burger. But the star of this meal was the sauce for the truffle fries. BOMB DOT COM! Definitely going back. read more

My best friend and I have been meaning to grab dinner here since his birthday in January and we rarely get to go out and have a nice meal. We decided that it was time...time for Eureka! It has been a long, long time since I have been to a restaurant where the staff cares so much about the customer's experience. As soon as we sat down at our table, our waitress (Carolyn) was by our side answering any questions we had and explaining flavor profiles. She helped us choose the perfect drinks: a coconut stout and a whiskey sour. With the drinks in mind, she helped us choose our appetizers and meals. We ended up ordering the truffle fries and chicken nachos to start and for our entrees, we decided on the Pearl Street Blues Burger with fries and the Fig Burger with Mac and cheese balls. Oh. My. God. Those truffle fries...I'm still dreaming about them. The fluffy mound of shredded cheese on top, the light sprinkle of green onions, the perfect crispness of the fries...everything was perfect, but the real star of the show was the truffle cheese sauce. I could probably drink that stuff, to be honest. I know- I'm gross. The nachos were EXCELLENT! I think the sauces that they drizzled on them were what really made them for me. The sauces brought all the flavor components together to marry perfectly on top of each tortilla chip. 10/10 would eat again. And again. And again. To be honest, I wasn't completely in love with my Fresno Fig burger. It was very good, but for some reason it just didn't wow me. In theory, the flavors should've gone great together. Bacon, Fig marmalade, goat cheese, arugula, red onion, tomato, and mustard. Yum! But unfortunately I think there was just SLIGHTLY too much fig marmalade, which made it a little too sweet. Other than that, I have no complaints. I was able to snag a bite of the Pearl Street Blues Burger before it disappeared. It came with caramelized onions and mushrooms, melted bleu cheese, and chipotle ketchup. It was a good burger but very salty. The mac and cheese balls that I got with my burger were hot and crispy and bursting with noodles, cheese, and peppers. They were served with ranch, which puzzled me at first, but when I dipped them in the ranch I understood. So good! So we spent around $80 on dinner, not including a tip. Was it worth it? I think so. While we probably won't be back to Eureka for awhile just because of how expensive it is, we will inevitably return sometime in the near future. Thank you so much for great service and a great meal. Your food is awesome and your servers are engaging and knowledgeable about the food. read more

The Firecracker wings have a lot of flavor, and the waiters go out of their way to provide good service!!

Please reconsider your decision to eat at Eureka! We had the spicy green beans which were undercooked. The green beans were so spicy and inedible. The fries were not seasoned and the truffle cheese sauce was separated from the oil. We paid 17 dollars for dry chicken fingers. The ambiance was okay but to spend that much money on food we left on the table was disappointing. read more

What can I say about this place, but, bone marrow burger. They only sell it till it's gone for the day, so get yourself one early. It's pretty much the only thing I recommend here, but it's enough! read more

Some of there food options are pretty good.. nothing really negative to say other than slow service.

All my food was so salty to the point I couldn't eat it. Customer service was great though

We stopped in because we wanted to quit bite to eat & they had a happy hour. Arrived at about 5:35, had plans somewhere else at 6:30. We walked in, sat at the bar. Ordered our food, it arrived in less than 10 minutes. It was amazing, delicious, hot & great prices! Bar tender was attentive even though we didn't order alcohol. We were definitely not rushed but we're able to walk out the door by 6:06. We will definitely be going back when we have more time! read more

I've been here with my husband twice now & I'm just overall unimpressed. The first visit was uneventful...we just thought the food was okay...months passed by & we never thought about this place again. On the 2nd visit we waited a long time before any server came to the table. Plus, we received mac & cheese balls that were still frozen in the middle...sent them back for a new batch...they came back luke warm. I was also disappointed that my turkey burger was so dry. My husband said his (beef burger) was also over cooked. On the other hand, my mojito was great & I enjoyed their crispy sweet potato fries. Seems like it may be a good place for drinks...I'm not sure about anything else. read more

Every time I come here it seems as though things keep improving. My last few visits have consisted of just my husband and I and since we know this place can get busy fast we have been choosing to come before 6pm to beat the rush. I have always always been a HUGE fan of the truffle fries and will recommend them every single time to anyone that asks. I have even gone so far as to order an extra side of the sauce because one is never enough. Don't have the room in your stomach for an appetizer???... then just order a side of sauce to go with the fries served with your meal. You won't regret it, I promise. Okay so enough about the sauce (it really is delicious btw) let's talk about the food. I have tried so many things from the current menu and I have never been disappointed. Every appetizer is good...the corn dog lollipops have a high quality frank almost like a sausage with great flavor and a good mustard dipping sauce, the deep fried Mac n cheese balls are cheesy with just a little kick, the glazed brussel sprouts have an Asian inspired glaze that is so good it makes you forget you are eating vegetables, oh and the deviled eggs are not your grandma's eggs...these have a kick and are a must try. As you can see I like the appetizers, go during happy hour (2pm-6pm & 9pm-close) and save some cash and try them all! So for the main dishes I've tried several burgers, the classic American cheese burger, the Cowboy burger, the Fresno fig burger, and the turkey burger. The burgers have always been juicy, flavorful, and the topping on point, heck even the turkey burger was surprisingly moist and not dry at all, shocking I know right??? My latest kick has been the fried chicken sliders. I don't do spicy so I sub out the chili sauce for their garlic aioli but these are Ah-mazing!!!! The portion of fried chicken is huge in comparison to the bun, the mashed potatoes are a quirky texture but oh so good, and the slaw adds the extra crunch and coolness needed to this sandwich. I've also had the Napa chicken sandwich and it's tasty with the pesto sauce and arugula but the fried chicken sliders are my current fav. If you need something sweet at the end of your meal try the Chocolate PB mousse. It is rich and decadent but so yummy. As for drinks I really can't recommend too much as I'm not much of a drinker. I have tried a few mixed drinks here and there and they have all been delicious and I've been told they are a unique take on some of them but I'll leave that up to you. My next thing to try here.....BRUNCH!!! read more

Great burgers and a good selection of ciders. Service was great! Outdoor area is very nice in good weather.
