Great place for burgers! Gaetano was our server and he did an amazing job. Explained the menu and recommended drinks to go with our meal. My wife and I had a wonderful time. That boy deserves a raise. We'll be coming back again. read more

This place is always busy for dinner and it's understandable why I love the interior decorations. It's got like dark moody walls and cool our leather boost. The bar area is really cute as well. The cocktails are amazing. I really really love the wild child. I think it's a watermelon vodka cocktail with a habanero salt rim 10 out of 10 my husband usually gets a bourbon or some sort either an old-fashioned or just some bourbon. Neat that's more his vibe. Sometimes we come for beers just depends on kind of what time of day we're coming. We love sitting outside when it's shady and bringing our dog they're super dog friendly and I usually get something I could share with her at least a few bites whether that's some french fries or sweet potato fries or maybe just the carrots from the side of some chicken wings Some of our favorite entrées are there spicy chicken sandwich, their Smashburger, the burger with fig and goat cheese in it and I am a wing connoisseur and I absolutely love their wings here they're crispy. They are large and they are really tasty. I love the homemade ranch and I think they also have blue cheese and both are delicious. Sometimes I go to girl dinner is their wings and a salad. I would suggest making a reservation if you're going on you know a Friday night every time we've been here we've had great service. We also bring friends here. I love the vibes of this place. Parking is easy though if you're coming on a weekday because they share their lot with a couple of other businesses, you might just have to walk a little bit further, but I've never been able to not find parking really delicious. Will be back as usual. read more

First time to this Eureka location. Location is convenient if you are in Carlsbad and it has easy parking. The layout of the restaurant is nice and airy. The food and drinks are ok. I have been to the UTC location many times and think the food is better there. The service was ok but it looked like they needed more servers. We got our food before we got our drinks. I do love they have happy hour on a Sunday. read more

We love this place, the wings are the best we've ever had and my wife loves wings. We used to live closer and would go into the restaurant but now that we're in Cardiff, we use a delivery service and it works out great. Just as a sidenote, as much as my wife loves the wings, she loves their ranch dressing, even more. So when we ordered the other night, the wings came we opened the box and unfortunately there was no ranch dressing!! This was an issue as small as anyone thinks it was still an issue. I called the restaurant. I didn't expect them to drive 7 miles to give us ranch dressing, but they did something that still amazes me. That's what makes a restaurant a great restaurant. You will see it in the pictures below still blown away. read more

I came here recently for happy hour. I had been before but my friend hadn't. They have a lovely outdoor patio area where lots of kids were playing. The inside has big open windows. It was pretty busy but we were seated right away. Our server was friendly and welcoming. She answered our questions and took our orders for apps and wine. We were surprised by the extensive bourbon menu and wide price range, that's not something I've seen often. She brought us water and our food was up quickly. The fried pickles were exactly like they sound like they would be, but they need a different sauce. The frachos had good flavor and were filling. We both enjoyed them. We also both liked our wine.. They have daily specials and we both agreed we want to come back and try more items. read more

You guys. Seriously. This place is SO GOOD!!! There are just so many positive aspects... From the moment we walked in the hostess was super friendly and seated us right away. She brought over crayons and coloring pages for my 4 year old and then let her pick out a sticker from a sticker book!! Our server greeted us promptly for our drink order and was very knowledgeable about the menu. Then a few minutes later someone brought my kiddo a snack plate!! What a genius idea!! It had a few carrots and orange slices and she enjoyed it while we had literally the best Brussels sprouts I've ever tasted. They were crispy and soooooo flavorful! I ordered the fig burger with a side Caesar and my daughter had a cheese quesadilla. The burger and the salad were both amazing!! I mean look at all the yummy Parmesan on the Caesar!! My burger was cooked exactly the way I wanted it and it was absolutely delicious. We had the peanut butter pie for dessert and let me just tell you, I did not want to share it at all! It was so rich and yummy. The overall vibe is casual and fun and a lot of people were having a blast during happy hour. Our service was excellent throughout. This place is a nice balance of family friendly, casual date night, or a fun night out. I will definitely be back! read more

Stopped in for a post pickleball meal, which was conveniently close by... a quick drive to the next business center over. I love burning a lot of calories just to put more calories back in...LOL! It was a chill vibe inside...wasn't busy since we came around 3pm. However, I think we happened to come right at their shift change because it took about 15 minutes or so before someone finally came to our table. Anna introduced herself and apologized that no one had come...all good since we saw they were changing shifts. She was so incredibly sweet and took great care of us. Thank you, Anna! Been here twice with the same group of friends, and I can honestly say the food is consistently satisfying. Started with their Nachos (w/ steak), which we shared and inhaled. I ordered the Eureka American Burger with fries for my meal, which hit the spot. The others were equally satisfied with their orders (not pictured), finally to end our meal, we couldn't leave without dessert...there's always room! We all shared the Carrot Cake, and the Bourbon Barrel Cake, which were both sinfully delicious! CHEERS and happy eating till next time... read more

Okay Eureka is so cool, and you know what's even cooler, our waitress Sky. We had a reservation and typically you can reserve online but we had to call to reserve for a big party. It was easy peasy. It's located in the beautiful Bressi ranch area. There's indoor and outdoor seating, and the restaurant is loungey and cozy at the same time. Not too loungey to be kid inappropriate and not too cozy either. Celebrated a birthday dinner and was happy to see they offered delicious desserts such as the peanut butter cake which was the fav of the table. They have an extensive but not overwhelming menu. They do have plenty of drink offerings including mocktails, whiskey , soda, and wine. Love the variety of burgers they have. We ordered different types and were able to cut into quarters to share. The fav of the table was the fig but I still root and hold it down for the bacon jalapeño. I love the mixture of sweet and savory. Appetizers that were delicious include the Korean frachos and Brussel sprouts. Will definitely return for family and or date night, they have a kids menu, and they also have turf out front for the kids to play. read more

The one thing I really like here is that there are many food choices for people with special diets. I was not terribly fond of the lavender ice tea. I don't use sugar or sweetener. I was told that it had very little agave. It had more than a little. It was also way more expensive than a regular ice tea and the server didn't make any mention of this. There should have been a warning. The protein bowl was surprisingly good. It had many things that are good for my special diet and changing something was not a problem. Restaurants that have any spice in the food, like this one, should warn the customer that there is spice and offer to leave it our or tone it done if possible. This is a very pleasant indoor/outdoor space. The outdoor seating is covered to protect from the sun. The indoor space is very comfortable too. read more

So good I should've took it before picture. I got DoorDash cause I'm at work in Vista. I've been dying for a Caesar salad so yesterday I went to King's Fish House paid $30 for the shittiest salad you've ever seen in your life. I looked up one close to me and found Eureka buy one get one and they are so nice to leave two dressings and the salad is green. Thank you Eureka. I'll be ordering for a meal from now on. read more

Tano was amazing! Super friendly and fun, with a great English accent as well. The food was incredible and the service was bloody brilliant from start to finish. Highly recommend -- we'll definitely be back. read more

Ordered two takeout salmon entrees and was not disappointed. Fish was cooked well, not overdone, and portions were decent. Takeout process was smooth and easy on a very rainy evening. Sides were included in the same box as the entree (fries and salad and fish in the same box got kind of got soggy), but other than that, will be back and extending some grace for the takeout factor. Parking was easy, although it was late night so not sure how it is during the day. Staff was friendly and down to earth, ambience had good vibes and lighting. Great option for healthy, late night food! read more

Eureka very close to lego land and hotels nearby. Situated in a nice complex with outdoor and indoor seating. Large open space with plenty of tables to accommodate any party size. Service was very nice with our waitress who was very kind and easy person to talk . She was so cool and accommodating. Very pleased with service. The food was very good everyone in out party enjoyed the food. I ordered the bbq bacon burger well done patty and it was delicious and paired with their house fries was even better. My wife enjoyed her eureka burger and side of street corn. My daughter had their chicken bites and fries. She actually ate most of her chicken bites and shared them with our friend's kids. Which is a big plus as they can be a bit picky. All in all had a very good time and experience at eureka and the food was fantastic along with the service. Can definitely see us meeting here again as a group to enjoy the food and times here. Definitely recommend if you are in the area to check Eureka out. read more

We had never been here before but had an hour ish to spare before my wife needed to head to work. Came in on a Friday night and it was pretty busy but got seated right away. I opted for fish tacos because they sounded delicious. Before the tacos came I scarfed down some fried pickles and they were great , especially with the garlic sauce they come with . Shortly after my fish tacos arrived and sadly, the fish was lukewarm at best . The flavor on everything else was great , so I know the taco has potential but sending out cold fish is not a good 1st impression. My wife had the bacon jam burger and had nothing but good things to say . She did ask for medium and it came more cooked than that so just watch what you ask for . I would say minus the issue with the tacos it was good . It's a little on the expensive side imo but these days everything in California is expensive lol. Waitress was great , couldn't remember her name . read more

I just wanted to write a short update to my review from last year. Their Spicy Fried Chicken Sandwich is still my favorite anywhere, but I recently tried their Double Smash Burger (with added bacon) and it was delicious! I had mine with the onion rings instead of the fries and those were really crispy and also excellent. My wife tried the Fresno Fig Burger for the first time, and loved her dish as well. My wife also tried a seasonal drink special they had which was a Gingerbread Man Old Fashioned, and she found it surprisingly good. They even made the ice cube it it shaped like a Gingerbread Man which was a neat extra touch. We usually also lover their outdoor patio area when it's nice outside. It's very casual and is also dog friendly, and family friendly. Service is also still always excellent there! read more

Was over in the area and decided to stop by for lunch with my mom, hadn't been in a few years. It was very busy, we sat inside since it was a little chilly outside. The woman who sat us was so nice and welcoming. Our server was Larissa and she was there quickly after we were seated, took our drink order and enthusiastically told us about the new lunch special menu with $13 meals. My mom had the grilled chicken club which was HUGE! I had the blackened shrimp tacos which were full of shrimp and delicious. Both came with fries. We highly recommend Eureka, especially their lunch specials. read more

I was craving burgers in North County and came with a big group of 8. We called ahead around 10 am to reserve a table same day at 12:00 pm and they had our table ready when we arrived - no wait. Service was great from the get-go. As soon as we walked in we were greeted warmly by the two hostesses. Our server was attentive and efficient. She refilled our drinks without us asking and brought new water pitchers regularly. I ordered a BBQ Bacon burger ($18.50) which came with shoestring onions, bacon, cheddar, and beer bbq sauce and fries on the side. Burger was juicy and deliciously flavored although my bun was slightly soggy. Overall this was a solid burgers experience! read more

Loved this place for years! They always have a great selection of cocktails, wines, and beer. During my recent visit I had the big island daiquiri and it was delectable! Not overly sweet but a great blend of rum and Ube. Couldn't ask for anything better. While I've always had great service here, our recent server was extremely kind and attentive. She also gave great recs! I ended up ordering the spicy chicken sandwich and my husband had the jalapeño egg burger. We did start out with their delicious truffle fries. They did pair the fries with their white truffle cheese sauce. It was a combo made in heaven. I really enjoyed my spicy chicken sandwich. Definitely wasn't too spicy or anything just pretty good. My husband was in love with his jalapeño egg burger. I have to say it was a great combo for a burger. I love going back to explore their delicious menu! read more

We are visiting from out of town and wanted to have a nice relaxing dinner after a 7 hour drive. This place fit the bill! Our server, Joey was so pleasant and attentive. I ordered the protein bowl with salmon and Joey recommended the blackened salmon on it, and it was wonderful! My husband ordered a Philly sandwich and he said it was comparable to the one he had in Philadelphia! They had a drink special of Moscow mules, and Joey explained how they were made actually different from other places more fresh ingredients. We were in! And they were great! Jenna the assistant manager walked around and checked on people to see how they were doing and I thought that was a nice addition to our great dining experience. The outside dining are was lovely with a beautiful fire pit. The food was wonderful, but the service was amazing! Thank you so much, Joey for your wonderful service and your happy disposition! read more

Updating this review and I'm still giving them 5 stars! The Great - The food was excellent. The Good - The cocktail selection and quality were also very good! The Bad - The server was very nice, but might have been new. We ordered a beer from our server, then several people asked if we wanted another beer. We said our server already took care of it. She disappeared for a long time. Eventually we got the beer, but that was odd. The Ugly - NA read more

The front desk clerk at our hotel recommended Eureka when we arrived around 10pm and wanted to unwind a bit. GREAT recommendation! I honestly couldn't believe we'd found a spot like that so close to our hotel. So good that we went there BOTH nights around 9 or 10pm when we were in town. I don't really enjoy regular bar drinks and wasn't that excited to go to Eureka until I sat down and looked at the drink menu. This is my kind of place....plus the food (appetizers & desserts) were great too. Items we tried were fried pickles, onion rings, dry-rub wings, cheesecake, turtle pie and carrot cake. The fried pickles were probably the best I've had. Crisp and delicious batter. The Eureka dry rub is definitely the way to go. I still crave them! Desserts were great too but I was buzzed eating them back at the hotel so you know..... Drinks we tried: Pineapple Tequila Sour, Headhunter King and Wild Child. The first night I ordered and LOVED the Pineapple Tequila Sour and my husband ordered the Headhunter King which he didn't like at all so guess what? I drank it and enjoyed it and he had a spiced rum and coke. LOL The second night I had a couple of Wild Childs. OMG, they are amazing. I wish I could find that drink here in Tucson. My boring husband had more rum & cokes, The environment at Eureka is great. We did sit at the bar both nights and that bar is hoppin'! I like that there is so much outdoor space too which allows families to enjoy themselves and let the kids have room to have fun. Eureka is a great spot and I highly recommend it. Where's my Wild Child?! read more

The truffle cheese fries (which I got as a side) ended up being the best part of the meal--super flavorful and definitely worth ordering on their own. Unfortunately, the Napa chicken sandwich was underwhelming. The chicken itself lacked flavor and the bread was so heavy it overpowered everything else. I also ordered sweet potato fries, but they came out way too dark and almost overcooked . Overall, the food was pretty mediocre. On the plus side, service was quick and they do have a solid variety of craft beers to choose from, which might make it a better spot for drinks than for the food. read more

A group of us dined at Eureka for the first time last night. The food was good, the drinks were tasty, and our main server Reece was great -- kind, attentive, and exactly what you'd want in a hospitality professional. Unfortunately, another employee named Cam completely changed the experience. Less than five minutes after our entrees were delivered, she came to our table asking if we had finished plates because the kitchen was closing and "needed them back," despite the bar still being full and other tables still dining. We felt rushed mid-meal. Shortly after, she came by with the check while we were still eating and was abrupt and pushy about payment, making one person in our group feel uncomfortable enough to hand over his card just to end the interaction. When we later explained that we understood they were closing soon but felt very rushed and that her approach came across as rude, she acknowledged our concern, but her tone felt dismissive rather than genuinely caring. Reece did a great job, and the food was good -- but the service from Cam left all of us walking out with a sour taste. It's a bummer, as this would have likely been a regular spot for us otherwise. read more

We're at Eureka! and it is a full five star situation. No debate. Court adjourned. First of all Haley our server Absolute home run Hit the ball out of the park Easy squeezy no problem. Attentive friendly chill but on it like she knew exactly what kind of night we were trying to have. If you come here ask for Haley That is not a suggestion That is wisdom. My wife and I are having a great time My son is technically third wheeling but honestly he's thriving He's part of the vibe Everyone's happy Nobody's rushed Nobody's stressed That's rare and beautiful. Pro tip Come during the Magic Hour Sit outside by the fireplace That combo right there feels like life is briefly working exactly the way it's supposed to. Warm light Good food Good company Fire nearby Like humanity finally figured it out for five minutes. If I could bottle this exact moment and sell it I would But until then Just come here Sit outside Ask for Haley And enjoy yourself. read more

We had a wonderful experience at this new American restaurant. I ordered the goat cheese salad and it was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully balanced--honestly one of the best salads I've had in a while. The kids went with cheeseburgers and loved them, which is always a win when dining as a family. Out waiter went above and beyond always making sure we had what we needed Beyond the food, the atmosphere really sets this place apart. The decor is thoughtfully done and feels both modern and inviting, and the outdoor fire pits you can sit around create such a cozy, relaxed vibe. It's the kind of place you want to linger and enjoy. Great food, family-friendly, and an A+ atmosphere. We'll definitely be back. read more

Normally eat at location. However, I had it delivered via Uber Eats. I ordered my regular order. The presentation was horrible and so disappointed I did speak with the manager and she apologized and said I would get a email gift card but never received it. I ordered the Fingerling potatoes that came as mash potatoes My burger was so sloppy it was a mess. My fingerling potatoes didn't have one whole potato. Normally I would praise them. However, they do not treat there to go orders with any kind of care. Very disappointed in such a high end establishment. read more
