This place was able to accommodate a group of seven guys and was pretty quiet during the early night of Saturday. Our server Rylee it was pretty easy to get along with the order of the menu items and was able to deliver drinks pretty quickly and checked in on us regularly. She was even also able to get all the separate checks as quick as possible when we had an additional eight more people show up. read more

A tough decision to make when there are so many places to eat in the same block. I went with a group of folks and had reservations here. When I saw the menu, I was kinda excited to have a really good burger, but it was just OK. We started with a few shared appetizers: fried pickles, truffle fries, and pretzel bites. Out of the three, only the fries were really good; others were mid. My bacon jalapeno burger was alright; I was expecting something more flavorful with bacon jam and charred chiles on it. It was also a smaller burger and the meat didn't really stand out either. Sides were a la carte...what place doesn't include fries with their burger? This place... I did enjoy the 3 desserts we shared as a table: bourbon cake, carrot cake, and turtle pie. All were very tasty to round out a meal. read more

My husband and I was in the area over the weekend and he wanted me to go here to try out the 28 day-old dry aged patty burger with bone marrow butter. I couldn't say no to that description. When we got to our table, our drinks were quickly taken. When we placed in our order, we were told that they were out of the 28 day old dry aged patty! Oh that was such a disappointment because we both ordered that. We had to place in an American burger option and added in the bone marrow butter on the side. Our mimosa flight was decent, my favorite on the list is the blood orange. The burgers were okay -- I think we were so hyped about the original burger that when the order couldn't be placed, we were a bit sad that we couldn't taste it. The American burger with the bone marrow butter was a bit elevated, but it tasted similar to other burgers I've had. It was good, nonetheless. We were seated at a very intimate and cozy booth. Our hostess was attentive and we will definitely come back in the near future to try out the 28 day dry aged patty burger with bone marrow butter. read more

One of my go to spots to catch a sports game! Picture typical bar food but better. With great happy hour deals and plenty of seating with views of their TV's I love bringing friends to Eureka and sharing classics like their nachos. Their cocktail menu is elevated the drinks are delicious, of course they also have classic drinks as well as a full bar, but I highly recommend trying their house specials. The steak Caesar salad is a great go to it was cooked perfectly, the new fried pickles are so fun and delicious definitely a must order. The food comes our fast, Everyone is very attentive but you're not rushed. If you're looking for a casual spot with better than bar food to catch the game check out Eureka! read more

Ordered food for delivery. Wanted chicken strips, Mac & cheese balls and fried pickles. I've ordered the strips and fries before and the deis often come undercooked, so I sub in the fried Mac. I revived my order and was super excited to dig in. Pickles and Mac & cheese balls great. Dips fine! The problem.....boneless tenders. They sent the equivalent of frozen toddler chicken nuggets?? What happened to the amazing hand breaded ones? Im posting photos of what I should have had, vs what I got . I won't be supporting this place again. It's a bummer because I took a gamble and lost. Also, yes those tenders are what I received before eating any, and they were supposed to have half plain half bourbon dry rub. Edit to add: I did not order a kids meal. Hand breaded tenders is a regular menu item. I'm adding the photo from the menu. read more

Was out with a group in the downtown Boise area when I snuck in here real quick once! I had to compare to my spot back home!

We came in with 6 folks and added an additional 5. We were a big party. We felt ignored for the first 15 min with no water until we tracked down the host to help. The bartender was our waiter and they definitely seemed understaffed but there weren't a lot of folks to serve. We tried very hard to be patient, but 2.5 hours later, cold food including cold fries and cold burgers for more than one of us inspired this note. More frustrating was the staff apologized, but didn't seem apologetic if that makes sense. The final frustration was there was a lunch deal they then overcharged us for. They charged 2 people for regular price burger and add in fries while others were charged the correct price of burger with fries that was one price and $5 less. First time we ate here. Sadly, we had heard good things and this did not live up to it. I'll definitely have to think twice before visiting another Eureka. :( read more

Stopped in to the BoDo location recently and had a fantastic experience. The staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and super attentive, and the food absolutely delivered. I came with a big party and the staff handled us like champs while staying kind AND getting our food to us quickly -- not easy to do all of the above and do it well, but they did! It's clear their leadership and management are dialed in and committed to creating a great ambiance. The Wagyu cheeseburger was amazing, and the mac & cheese bites were roll-your-eyes-back-into-your-head good. And then... there was the carrot cake. When I say I was not emotionally prepared for this cake, I mean it. I live in Nampa and genuinely considered DoorDashing a slice to myself later that week. (Okay, fine, it was the next day.) This cake altered my brain chemistry. If this cake were a man, I would go full Beyoncé and put a ring on it. The whole place feels well run and welcoming from start to finish. I will definitely be coming back -- please ask me what I'll be getting for dessert. read more

So I have to start out saying everything tasted amazing!! There is no complaint about the flavor of the food. The problem was the food came out cold like it had been sitting a very long time ... which I'm sure it had because the wait to get anything including drinks took a very long time. This was not the waitress's fault she was clearly running but they just weren't staffed for the amount of business that they had . The manager did come apologize and comped our apps and gave us some cards for future use. I would recommend this place just not on a busy night like Friday or Saturday..unless they hire more staff. Burgers tasted great, fried pickles were sour a delish , truffle fries with the Alfredo sauce awesome, fish tacos were yummy ... just not hot some not even like warm. read more

One of the perks of working downtown is the endless places to try out. Today's lunch adventure brought me to Eureka!. I love the outdoor seating that is available. Today was a little too warm for me but the outdoor seating looks like a great area to enjoy a happy lunch or a romantic dinner. Upon walking in, I noticed how dark and romantic it is. It's not a very bright venue so it sets quite an intimate setting. Perfect for date night. For lunch today I ordered the Eureka! salad with salmon. I did ask for my salmon to be grilled and well cooked. The salad was beautifully plated. The salmon had great grill marks on it. Despite of asking for my salmon to be well done, it was still very moist. The salad mix was very fresh, the tomatoes were plump and the lemon vinegrett that was served with it was refreshing and clean tasting. I didn't really enjoy the brocollini that was served with it. The stem was too hard and bitter. I didn't really care for it. It was a good salad but it seemed kinda basic at the same time. At the end of lunch we did order the bourbon cake for dessert. Unfortunately, they were out of the bourbon caramel sauce for the dessert which tires everything together. The manager and our server were very apologetic about the sauce which was nice. I would have like to experience the whole dessert. Service today was great. Our server did a great job. He was attentive and kind. Overall it was a good experience. It was a good day to try a restaurant on restaurant row. read more

Somewhere between 3 and 4 stars. Great vibe, lighting, house-style music and excellent friendly service. My issue with this place, and frankly a lot of restaurants in and around Boise fall into this category, you feel like the pricing is above what it should be and what most people can comfortably afford for a weekly hang. The lion's share of their mixed drinks are $15 and up. The sandwiches and burgers are in the $18 range and don't come with fries. It's hard to pay $50 for a burger, fry and cocktail (incl. tax/tip) and feel good about it. Perhaps it's fine for a special occasion but is this the place you'd save for a special occasion? See the point...? Boise prices don't align with Boise budgets and that's sort of the greater problem here and for places like this trying to charge premium pricing. read more

What happened to this place??? The last time we were in town, we ordered the Beet Burger, fish tacos, and truffle cheese fries, and everything was so good that we couldn't wait to order from them again. This time was a totally different story. The burgers came out undercooked, falling apart, with soggy buns that weren't even the same type they used before. The quality just wasn't there, and it was really disappointing compared to our last visit. read more

We were super excited to come here because we have been to another location in California. Unfortunately this was not the same experience. My burger was so small and had barely anything on it. For 17$ and fries not included I was expecting more. The buns were all cold and weren't toasted it was really strange. Unfortunately we won't be back there are too many good burger places that cost the same that are worth the price. The service was also extremely slow for an empty restaurant. We saw 2 parties leave because they were tired of waiting so long to be greeted and seated. read more

Love this place! So many cool drink options! And the food we had, lettuce wraps and tacos were great. But the best thing was David, our waiter. He was SO nice and attentive and went out of his way to accommodate us! Thanks David! We'll be back! read more

Decor: random, lots of TVs Drinks: nothing special (coke & strawberry limeade- would not recommend, flavorless) Food: Mac and cheese ball- DELICIOUS!, French fries were the best part of the meal... burgers sounded great on the menu but ended up being bland and missing flavor (jalapeño burger & bison burger) Dessert: n/a Service: great service, empty restaurant but nice server Date: 10/10 Would we go back? I came in thinking Eureka would be my new burger joint but left disappointed and still searching. Would come back only for Mac and cheese balls. read more

Been here a few times and it never blew me away but this time was particularly disappointing. First off I'd like to say the service was great and the cocktails were nice but a couple of things put me off. The food was not good at all and the prices were far too high for the poor quality. The fish tacos I got were cold and soggy because of the amount of guac they put on them. The fries were tough and chewy- not sure how they accomplished that. Also, $13.25 for a Tito's and soda is outrageous. There are so many better options downtown for good food and drink. read more

Best birthday brunch ever!!! Food was delicious, beverages top notch, and the service was exceptional. Our party of 8 rowdy women were celebrating a 50th birthday and a birthday card with hand written notes from a number of employees was awaiting the birthday girl. It was a beautiful gesture and left a lasting impression. The manager Tammy was the most wonderful person and it was obvious that she truly cared! Tayvin, our server, was the best! He rounded out the whole experience with his professionalism, wit, and charm! read more

I've been here on a couple of occasions and have enjoyed my experiences. They have both indoor and outdoor seating (in nice weather) and I've enjoyed both. The outdoor patio is along the bustling, foot traffic only area of Idaho so it makes for some great people watching as you enjoy your cocktails/bites. I've gone for snacks and cocktails on the patio. We ordered their brussels sprouts (I prefer crispier brussels so these were a bit of a miss for me) and their signature fries (delish!) to go along with our old fashioned cocktails. The old fashioned was pitch perfect. On another occasion, we dined indoors and I got their Eureka salad which was a crisply fresh blend of butter lettuce, heirloom cherry tomatoes, avocado, thinly sliced green beans, and broccolini. It's tossed with a lemon vinaigrette which was the perfect accompaniment to the salmon I had added (for an upcharge, of course). It made for a beautiful main dish salad. The service is a-ok and their prices are about what you'd expect for downtown Boise. Get to it! read more

Eureka! has been on my wish list to visit for quite some time. We were lucky to swing by and see an opportunity at 5:30 on a Saturday night and we're seated relatively quickly. We ordered the Baja fish tacos, Fish & chips, Chipotle Burger and chicken tenders. I had the Baja Fish tacos - fish had so much batter on it that was over fried, it crumbled to the touch...not flaky at all. I had to cut the fish in half for it to fit in the tortilla. The chipotle Mayo was completely lost in the abundance of pico and slaw. It was nice to have the option to switch out the tortilla chips for fries without an up charge. Overall, it was okay....would not order again only because I couldn't taste the fish, it was just crispy batter I could taste. The only thing that saved my meal was the phenomenal tarter sauce (which was not your typical sauce at all) that accompanied my husband's fish and chips. Hubby's fish and chips suffered the same fate as my fish taco fish....over fried, heavy batter and they almost looked like crispy fish nuggets. Totally unappetizing and not worth the price. Son had the chipotle burger, cooked medium. Said it was one of the best burgers he's ever had. He never finishes his meals but could not eat that burger fast enough....basically licked his plate. Daughter loved her chicken tenders. Said they tasted fresh and perfectly tender. Service was mediocre at best. Slow, slow, slow....restaurant was semi-slow for a Saturday night and it still took almost 1.5 hours for our visit. Asked for water and it came at room temp....had to ask for ice. Order came out missing sides we ordered. Never saw our waiter after food was served until 30 minutes after we received our food. Plates removed and had to wait 15 minutes for the check....and didn't even get a check, just took our card and without seeing what we were charged. Not the best experience for the money. read more

We were visiting Boise for Bronco Day and to check out the BSU campus, and after our amazing experience at Eureka! the first night, we came back again the following evening! The food, staff, and atmosphere were all incredible -- welcoming, upbeat, and full of great energy. A special shoutout to Manager Jared, who took the time to sit and chat with us and made us feel so at home. Our servers, Grace (first night) and Rylee (second night), were both so friendly, helpful, and attentive -- they truly made the experience memorable. If you're visiting Boise or looking for a spot with delicious food, great vibes, and a team that genuinely cares about their guests, Eureka! is a must-visit. We can't wait to come back next time we're in town! read more

This review is long overdue. Eureka has become an establishment on 8th St. And, if I had written the review in a timely manner, years ago, I would have rated Eureka 5*. However, Boise has upped its game, making Eureka a really good choice, but not the outstanding one it used to be. The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly. This is definitely a place to feel relaxed. Good selection of beers and whiskeys. Food is good: hamburgers, fries, brussel sprouts. If you want a relaxed evening with friends, this is a good choice! read more
