Eureka has become one of my go-to spots for a casual dinner with my partner. The vibe is always lowkey and relaxed -- perfect when you want something easy but still really good. The food consistently hits, but I always have to get the truffle fries... they're just too good. Crispy, flavorful, and honestly one of the best versions I've had. Their burgers and mains are solid too, but the fries are non-negotiable for me. Also love their beer selection -- it's well curated and rotates often, so there's usually something new to try every time we go. Overall, it's just a super reliable spot with great food, drinks, and chill vibes. Definitely one of our regular date night places. read more

Had an okay experience! The wait was long, our server was great, and the food was okay We came on a Sunday a little before 6pm with a party of 4. My friend got there early to put our name on the list. The restaurant appeared empty as there were lots of open seats/tables but it took us 40 minutes to get seated. The hosts were apologetic and we chalked it up to the fact that they were potentially understaffed. But it was definitely a bit frustrating to wait 40 minutes From there, the experience was pretty seamless. The service was generally good! My husband and I ordered Brussels sprouts, truffle fries, and a Bacon Jalapeno Jam Burger. Food was pretty standard! Good but nothing to write home about. The burger patty was cooked well, but the bun was a bit dry/stale. Brussels sprouts were good and the truffle fries were probably the tastiest thing we had. Overall, a mid experience! read more

Eureka! - Cerritos We come here often for takeout and usually order the same thing--the chili mango wings--which we've enjoyed in the past. This visit was completely different, and frankly, very concerning. The wings came out burned, dry, and overcooked, with little to no sauce. I brought it to our server's attention--the only positive part of the experience was his friendliness--but when it came to addressing the issue, it missed the mark. At most places, staff are quick to correct a problem. In this case, he seemed uncomfortable and only brought out extra sauce. I told him it helped, but I was not happy with the food. Honestly, I picked up on a certain vibe and didn't feel comfortable pushing the issue further. I didn't want to be labeled as a "problem guest," especially when some people assume complaints are just attempts to get something for free. So I let it go at the time. That turned out to be a mistake. A second order of wings and fries came out the same way--overcooked chicken and cold, overdone fries--even after I specifically asked that the food not be overcooked. Later, I found out my daughters' meals were also not right. The grilled cheese was overdone, and the hamburger was dry and overcooked as well. Had I known at the time that all of the food was coming out this way, I absolutely would have addressed it more directly. At that point, it was no longer a coincidence. Every single item we received was consistently burned, dry, or poorly prepared. This was not a matter of "bad food." This felt like something else entirely. I rarely complain and typically accept things as they come, but this experience crossed a line. When multiple dishes across the table are all handled this poorly, repeatedly, it raises serious concern about intent, not just execution. Patrons should pay close attention--not just to the quality of the food, but to the treatment behind it. Not every environment is as welcoming as it may appear, and sometimes the message is sent through the food itself. To make matters worse, I left with a stomach ache, which only added to the discomfort of the entire experience. The lighting is also extremely dim, making it difficult to even see the condition of your food clearly. This experience did not feel accidental--it felt targeted. At this point, it raises the question of whether situations like this should be looked into more closely. Now that I know they did this to my kids after the fact I'm FUMING. We will not be returning. read more

Came here on the later side but was pleasantly surprised they had a late night happy hour. They had a couple cocktails on the happy hour menu as well as a few beers. I got a vodka cocktail which was light and refreshing. Unfortunately, we had to sit at a high top which didn't have the most comfortable chairs. Would have preferred a booth but they happened to all be dirty when we arrived. Service was good and had someone check on us frequently for drinks, food, etc. We got the black bean nachos which was on the happy hour menu. Didn't add meat on top as that was an extra $10 and didn't seem worth it. I liked that for the burgers you could sub the beef patty with a veggie one for no additional cost which I don't normally see and gave me more options to eat as I don't eat beef. I want to come back and try their trivia night which sounds fun. read more

I went to Eureka! for the first time the other night with one mission: a sweet treat with family. The vibe was very chill for a Monday night. Just a few people at the bar watching the game and the restaurant has a cozy feel with the low lighting and warm wood interior. I could see out to the outdoor fireplace and kept thinking that would be such a cute date vibe. Just drinks by the fire where it's quiet enough to actually hear each other talk. I thought it was interesting that the waitress brought out a kids snack plate with carrots and oranges. I've never seen that before. Our server, Malia, was nice and attentive overall. For dessert we ordered the Bourbon Barrel Cake and the Turtle Pie à la mode. The Barrel Cake wasn't too sweet and the flavor was good, but the texture was a little grainy. The turtle pie was very sweet, but my son loved it so clearly it did its job. Overall it was a good little dessert stop. Next time I might come back and actually try the food. read more

I've been to Eureka! in Cerritos a few times now, and I have to say, it's a classic case of chain restaurant inconsistency hitting close to home. Living in San Diego, I've had some really solid, reliable meals at the Carlsbad location--fresh ingredients, scratch-made everything, burgers that actually taste gourmet, and service that's quick without making you feel like you're on a timer. The vibe there is always lively but chill, perfect for grabbing a craft beer and lingering a bit. This Cerritos spot, though? It's just not quite matching that energy or consistency for me. Our latest visit was pretty middle-of-the-road. The food was okay--nothing gross or wrong with it, and the portions are generous like always--but it felt more like standard pub grub than the elevated American fare they're known for. We ordered burgers (one of their signature ones with bacon and barbecue sauce) and some sides, and while everything came out hot and looked decent, the flavors were kind of muted. The patty was juicy enough, but it didn't have that wow factor or bold seasoning I've gotten elsewhere in the chain. Fries were fine, but nothing special. It was edible and satisfying in a basic way, but nothing I'd rave about or crave again soon. Definitely not bad, just meh compared to expectations. Service leaned heavily toward rushed. I get it--it's a smaller-ish space in a busy shopping area, and when it's packed (which it often is), they're probably under pressure to turn tables fast. But man, there needs to be some balance. We felt hurried from the moment we sat down: drinks came quick, food arrived promptly, but then it was like the server vanished unless we flagged them down, and the whole meal felt compressed. We didn't get much time to just enjoy and chat without feeling the subtle push to wrap up. The staff were polite and got orders right, no complaints there, but the pace took away from the experience. On the positive side, the restaurant itself is really nice and welcoming. The atmosphere is modern-industrial chic with warm lighting, exposed elements, cool bar setup, and a good mix of high-top tables and booths that feel comfortable even when it's hopping. It's got that trendy yet approachable vibe with plants, string lights, and a patio area that looks great. And honestly, huge props for cleanliness--the place was spotless, and even the restrooms were surprisingly pristine despite the crowd. That's not always a given in busy spots! All in all, if you're in Cerritos or nearby and want a spot for burgers, salads, craft beers, or cocktails in a clean, modern setting, Eureka! is worth a try. It's convenient, the basics are solid, and it'll scratch the itch for American comfort food. But if you're comparing it to other locations like Carlsbad, temper your expectations--the food and service just aren't as consistently great here. We'll probably pop in again if we're in the area, but it's not a destination spot for us. Give it a shot if you're local--you might have a better experience! 3.5 stars (I'd go 4 if the service felt more relaxed and the food had more punch, but the rushed feel and just-okay execution knock it down a bit for me.) read more

I usually stop by here for some late-night munchies or just to satisfy a craving. I typically come around 9-10 p.m., and it's never too busy at that time, so there's usually no wait. I'm always seated right away. The ambiance is pretty nice, with a slightly dim, relaxed vibe that makes it a good spot to unwind at night. The service is pretty standard each time I visit. Occasionally, I'll get a really enthusiastic waitress, but most of the time it's consistent, just servers doing their job. My regular rotation includes the truffle cheese fries, fried pickles, nachos (sometimes substituted with fries), and the mac and cheese balls. The times I've tried are decent, but nothing that really wows me. Sometimes the food is a hit or miss; for example, I've had times when the mac and cheese balls were perfectly warm and crispy, while other times they've come out lukewarm and a bit soggy. I keep coming back mostly to satisfy those late-night cravings, especially since most places nearby close pretty early. read more

We had a really great experience at Eureka!. Daisy, our server, was friendly, attentive, and very cooperative throughout the entire visit. She made sure everything came out right and checked in often without being overbearing. We also had the chance to meet Joe, the manager, who was incredibly welcoming and professional. He went above and beyond by waiving our appetizers, which was a very appreciated gesture and really added to the positive experience. The food, service, and overall atmosphere made for a really enjoyable night. Big thanks to Daisy and Joe for the excellent hospitality we'll definitely be coming back. read more

Eureka! The name suits the place so well, food was amazing very hot and fresh and came out fairly quick despite the place being busy on a Saturday night. I ordered the firecracker wings and they are to die for! Their own take on buffalo sauce very tangy! Not to mention the vibe of the place, ambiance and music really sets the place for a great night out. Both Joe and Daisy have amazing service and I give them my upmost gratitude:) read more

Tried this place out in the City of Cerritos CA. Place is modern and somewhat fancy. The ambiance was warm with great décor. We made our order for a Party of 6. Mostly hamburgers and salads. The food was good, but the price doesn't match up with the burger. The burger I ordered was $21 plus, comes with small fries and optional to upgrade for sweet potato fries, onion rings etc for an additional $3 more. The burger was small as well as the fries. I felt cheated paying for this type of meal. The service could of been a better. Our waitress would come and go, disappearing 15-20 mins at a time. Our total stay was close to 2hrs. Overall, it's an okay place for drinks but not so much for the food. They need to work on their service. Maybe I will give it another try in the future. This experience was just Meh. read more

Great food, good vibes! When I walked into this place, I was greeted with somewhat of an attitude, though I understand as I went with a little under than an hour left before closing. I ordered a burger, fries, Coke Zero, some lettuce wraps and wings. All great, especially the lettuce wraps highly recommend. I will be back here for sure as the person who took my order was on top of it when refilling my Coke Zero, didn't have to ask. Well deserved tip. read more

I don't usually leave negative reviews, but the service we received today was very disappointing. Our waiter, Quincey seemed bothered every time we asked for something. When we first arrived, we requested water and had to remind her about it. When she eventually brought it, she set the glasses down without saying anything or making eye contact. Throughout the meal, she continued to act the sam. When I asked for ketchup and later for a straw, she seemed annoyed and again dropped the items off without saying anything. It made us feel uncomfortable asking for even basic things. As for the food, I ordered the wings well done, but they came out soggy and heavily breaded. I understand that breading is a preference, and I should have asked but the texture was not what I expected. When our food arrived, we were also not given utensils or napkins so I had to get up and grab them from a nearby table. This has typically been one of our go to places when the kids want burgers. We've always liked the relaxed atmosphere where we can enjoy burgers and beer while the kids have a good time. Unfortunately today's experience completely changed that for us. I ended up sending the wings back which is something I have never done because it's embarrassing but between the food and the service, I felt it was necessary. My husband also ordered the jalapeño burger which came without jalapeños, but he chose not to say anything because of how unapproachable the service felt. Overall, we left very upset . It's sad because we've enjoyed coming here in the past, but after today, we're not sure we'll be returning. read more

I went here with my family for my birthday, and I have tried the Irvine location before. Everyone liked what they ordered, myself included! The firecracker wings and truffle cheese fries were really good. There were only 2 things I wasn't the biggest fan of but neither deters me from wanting to return. My fries with my Steak Frites weren't fresh and I could tell they'd been sitting out for a bit before coming out to me. The lights were also too dim in the restaurant for my liking. It made it difficult to see the menu, and I don't like eating in the dark. read more

My fiancé and I used to live very close to the San Diego Eureka location, and it was part of our regular dinner rotation. We now live in Long Beach, but decided to drive up here because we were celebrating a job promotion and craving Eureka burgers! I always get the Cowboy (now called the Barbecue Bacon), he always gets the Fresno Fig, and they never disappoint. A little sad that the sweet potato fries no longer come with honey and cinnamon -- those were delish! But the regular fries are good too. The service was friendly and attentive, and the manager even checked on us during our meal. We sat in the heated outdoor patio, which I see other patrons have complained about, but we thought it was quite intimate and nice! The only downside of the experience was my beverage. I don't recall the name, but it was bright blue with a tropical and vanilla flavor, non-alcoholic. I just didn't care for the taste and ended up mostly drinking water. No big deal, just wouldn't order it again! Thank you to the manager and staff for maintaining our decade-long love for Eureka restaurants. We'll certainly be back! read more

We decided to dine out on a Friday evening. After a minute trying to figure out where to go, we landed on Eureka. The cocktails of choice the Pineapple Tequila Sour and the Wild Child. Both where on point! For starters we had the Sticky Pork Belly Bites. They were cooked well, and well seasoned. The only drawback, the portion is way to small.too be so good. I think they should either cut larger bites or give more pieces. Side note.. add more of the Fresno chile per order. For the meal we chose the Ribeye Philly Cheesesteak with the cheesy truffle fries, and the Spicy Fried Chicken Sandwich. Ribeye Philly Cheesesteak: Very flavorful, the bread was fresh, soft with a nice chew. The meat was tender, moist and cooked perfectly. But a side note, there very stingy with the meat. The next time, I'd ask to double the meat. The fries.... cooked well, but just ok. I'd prefer real truffle over truffle seasoning in a sauce. Spicy Fried Chicken Sandwich: My wife ordered the spicy fried chicken sandwich and added bacon for an additional cost, and substitutd onion rings for the fries.. The flavors of the sandwich were balanced, though it could have been a bit spicier for her tastes. Overall, she enjoyed the sandwich. The onion rings were perfect. Lightly battered, crispy, and sweet. The location was good, with a chill atmosphere and the customer service was excellent. Shout out to our server, Quincy. read more

Another chain restaurant in the same plaza across from the closed Sears store at the mall. Open later so we came hear for 8pm dinner. I stood just behind another customer who needed a place for a group of 15 or more people! That impacted the entire night's service for our table of three and one child. I think we waited close to almost 30 minutes for our food to arrive. Understandable but also slightly annoying. It's not anything that the kitchen could change, but certainly we've all watched amount cooking shows like Top Chef to know food expediting is a great way to keep customers happy and fed! I got the Fig Burger - this came out very well done (gray throughout) although I asked for medium (I don't mind a little pink inside) Shared a steak frites ( wanted medium rare but it was more cooked through than that) The beef marrow burger was also more done than a regular burger. Dry rub wings were quite good, kids menu Mac and cheese included tater tots, two slices of orange and 3 carrot sticks. Got a non alcoholic flight to try, the watermelon spicy agua Fresca is spicy! Lighting is very dim. TV monitors showing hockey and maybe basketball. Background music loud enough to have me raise my voice to have a conversation. Ended dinner with bourbon barrel cake - side of vanilla ice cream and candied pecans plus bourbon caramel sauce was very good. Waitress Maite was attentive and apologized for the kitchen being overwhelmed. Weekly specials and hoppy hour (it was after 9 pm). read more

I hate to say it but we went here for dinner and now we feel sick. We both ordered a chicken dish. I'm a little worried. Dinner for 3 was about $100. I don't wanna make assumptions but I did feel like something was off about the chicken in the spicy chicken sandwich. Husband ordered the Napa chicken sandwich and said he thinks the chicken wasn't cooked all the way. Our waiter was kind and attentive. Ambience is nice. read more

The location is great! It's located in a shopping center near other businesses and restaurants. There is plenty of parking available so that shouldn't be an issue. The interior is nice and clean. It is very modern and sleek but still retains a home-y vibe. The service was stellar! Our food came out relatively quickly, I'd say in under 10 minutes. Our server came by multiple times to check in on us and make sure our meal was up to our standards. There wasn't a second that went by without our water being full. The flavor of the food was delicious. I loved how glazed the Brussels sprouts were, honestly some of the best I have ever ate. The portions are about average. I'd say expect to walk out of here for around $50 for a meal for two making this a ($$$) for me. Bottom line/TLDR: amazing Brussels sprouts! read more

I was able to get off work early on a Friday and it was still too hot to take my dog out to play so me and 2 other foodie friends joined me and my dog for happy hour which they call "hoppy hour". Service from Quincy the moment we sat down was awesome. It was nice and shaded with a slight breeze coming through so it made for a perfect setting. Once the food came out, it was silence for a few mins as we were all so hungry we could barely talk. Basically ordered everything on the hoppy hour menu read more

I looked them up on YELP before deciding to try them. I wanted a really good burger: fresh, juicy, flavorful, meaty, artisan, culinary meal. This wasn't it. Why would you ask how I like my meat cooked if you're just gonna do whatever you want to it? How did i order a barbeque bacon burger (bacon on the side for my dog child) with hardly any barbeque sauce and the bacon on the side completely forgotten so now my dog can't get a treat! Burger was dry and well done when I asked for medium to medium well. Burger was chewy and they were stingy with the barbeque sauce on a Barbeque burger! I also asked for mustard and mayo. Nope. They decided in that kitchen that it was opposite day! Fries were whack. I tried one and it was chewy and not fresh. I tried to call restaurant and left a message because no one answered and no one returned my call either. Brussel sprouts were good but I wish they had drained them better so they weren't drowning in syrup and oil. Gross. Quality control definitely took a day off this Sunday and at my expense. My total was 34 something. I will not be back. The waitstaff were very friendly and sweet. That was the sweet point of this entire rant. I hope upper management appreciates them. read more

I tried the jalapeño egg burger, and it was... fine. The burger itself was juicy and cooked well, and the egg was a nice touch. The jalapeños added a little kick, but nothing that really made it stand out or blow me away. Flavor-wise, it felt like it was almost great but didn't quite get there--kind of like it played it safe. For the price, I was expecting a bit more punch or balance. Not bad, not amazing. I'd come back if friends wanted to go, but it's not something I'd crave or go out of my way for. Very expensive for what you get and overall not that great read more
