Hot Sammie, Truffle Fries, Lemonade
Linda I.

Rounded up on this one - would not plan to go out of my way to return but would potentially if I were already in the area! Food was a solid 4 to me. I enjoyed! I got the hot sammie, which had 5 or 6 different spice level options. Because I had an activity afterwards and didn't want to risk it, I went safe with the Mild. Tasty and generously/uniquely seasoned! I liked it with the cole slaw as well. Also tried the truffle waffle fries (medium) which were tasty. Rounded it with their classic lemonade and this was good, maybe a little on the syrupy sweet end for my preference. Ambiance is more like a 3 to me. Not because it's located in a gas station, but that plus the indoor seating is very minimal (two tables) and in a small space where you're right up against others in line to order. I think perhaps a better option for drive through, which they did also have! Or grab and go. Though the sandwich and fries were good fresh and hot.

It's all about the chicken now, no longer Greek food. Very friendly service. Adequately delicious chicken. Nothing too special. Waffle fries served hot and perfectly crispy. I just don't think I'm a fan of eating in gas stations. The dining is communal for no reason and it feels like I'm on display lol.

Visiting the area for work and everyone said I need to check out this place. Very cool idea, food, gas station liquor store. The staff was great. I ordered the Hot Sammie. It was good and messy! I ordered the hot which had good flavor. The waffle fries were fantastic! Lightly salted and great potato flavor.

Try as I might, I just don't think Eureka is good. Yes, the food is made fresh, and the ingredients seem to be pretty high quality, but across the board, the flavors just aren't there beyond the insane levels of heat offered for the chicken. I have to wonder if Eureka was in a stand-alone restaurant, not in a gas station, would people give it high marks? Part of me thinks the location just lowers people's expectations. We took some friends there today after they saw some of Eureka's great social media. The group was super excited to try everything, but across the board, was let down by the bland flavors and atmosphere. Skipping the chicken, I tried the 'birria' quesadilla, which had super wet (not moist) meat, almost no cheese, and oddly flavorless consomé. My friend got the medium heat tenders after my warning and was still shocked by how hot they were. The highlight for me was my wife's (no heat) tenders and the shack sauce, which had a nice zip to compliment the freshly fried chicken. The entire table began talking about what they were going to want to eat next, as no one was particularly satisfied with their food, or the frustratingly disinterested service. And while I think it was generally an enjoyable experience for everyone due to the odd location and quirky atmosphere, we all agreed it would likely be our last visit. Honestly, I just don't get it, but I wanted to!

Tenders and Waffle Fries

Yummy chicken and fries, definitely did not expect this quality from a corner gas station! Definitely would run through the drive thru again. Shack sauce was the perfect dipping side.

Tried Eureka Eatery for the first time at Arts, Beats, and Eats and was craving it again only a few months later so my friends and I drove an hour to Monroe! It was just as good as we remembered and our only complaint is that it's so far :( Highly recommend the dirty mac bowl as well as their classic spicy chicken sandwiches! The ambiance isn't the best considering it's in the middle of a gas station, but they do have tables to sit at so you can eat there if you're stopping by.

Watery Mac and cheese.

Whenever I happen to be in the area I'd always make sure I stop and get a sandwich or something from here, it was amazing. After not being there in maybe a few months something changed. Their food changed. Sandwiches are not flavorful enough. Hot used to be hot, now it's like they forgot the spice altogether. Their Mac and cheese used to be incredible. Cheesy homemade type Mac and cheese, now this version is watery, over cooked, school Mac and cheese. Super bummed I was so excited to get eureka again. Now I'll have to just reminisce when the quality was 10/10.

I had never heard of this place (it's 45 minutes away from me, to be fair) until my friend suggested it. I am a HUGE lover of Hattie bs in Nashville and I've been trying to find something comparable since the last time I was down there. Happy to report I found it! Not sure why they decided to put it in a gas station, though. There are just a few tables inside and luckily we were able to snag one. I got a hot sandwich (3rd hottest spice) and truffle waffle fries. Both were absolutely PERFECT. So, why not 5 stars then? Service. I am a picky eater and I know that (no slaw, no sauce... don't judge me), but they messed up my food and took quite a while to acknowledge me at the counter (one of the staff were filling out a form of some kind, and the other was helping a customer). When he finally noticed me, he seemed a bit confused but was on top of it and the issue was resolved. Also when I was trying to decide on an order, I felt very rushed by the cashier. Seems to be a young crowd working here which is common for "fast food" but it's still a job and you have to work with customers.. If you come, make sure you check your order before leaving. I will definitely be coming back to get my fix though!

Chicken tenders
Adrienne A.

Since a Eureka Eatery will be opening near me soon, I decide to try the Monroe location when I was in the area. The gas station location is little off putting. And although it's clearly popular, there are only two tables and no good places to stand and wait for your order. I ordered the Hot Sammie, some medium-spice tenders, and a lemonade. OMG, the strawberry mint lemonade is the bomb! A little sweet, but very flavorful! The hot sammie, aka spicy chicken sandwich, was excellent too and huge! The tenders were a little too spicy for so-called medium spice so the hot must be extra hot. Prices were a little on the expensive side for a chicken sandwich in my opinion, or certainly compared to their most similar competition - Dave's Hot Chicken. I look forward to trying it closer to home when they open but mostly for the lemonade.

Nephew told me about this joint, decided to swing by for lunch. I got the hot sammie w/ medium spice; made it combo - large one and ordered a side of mac-n-cheese. Paid $20.65. The food came out fast, within few minutes. Overall, the chicken sandwich was decent. The chicken itself was not piping hot, rather just warm. The slaw did not help as it had no mayo, seemed like it wasn't seasoned at all. The chicken itself was juicy and moist and fried perfectly, however if you prefer crispy, then you'll be disappointed. The waffle fries and the mac-n-cheese were decent. Few things. If you like spicy chicken, order from hot and above; medium didn't have any kick. I don't know if it was one of those "day off", but the slaw needs some major overhaul. I'll be back for sure, going to try the tenders and spice level hot and above, truffle fries and shawarma. For now, 3 stars on the first visit.

Doug R.

The chicken Sammie, medium heat, was great and for $10 it should be. But the price ... I subtract 1-star because the value proposition is weak. The chicken was expertly prepared. The slaw, sauce and pickles were a terrific added terrific flavors and textures. It is a very tasty, juicy, sloppy mess - best eaten at one of their tables, not while driving. Will I return? Yes.

Chicken sandwich and waffle fries
Scott D.

One of the best chicken sandwiches I have ever eaten. I got the Sammie, with a bbq sauce. Breading on the chicken has a perfect spicy kick, man I wish there was one of these closer to where I live. Don't let the location in a gas station fool you, there chicken is delicious. I saw the Mac and cheese chicken bowl it was gianormous! The gas station has a nice beer and bourbon selection too. Five stars when combine the food with the beer and bourbon selection. If your on I-75 near Monroe, it's worth the extra few miles from the highway too go here.

Jordan B.

It's cool that you can pick your spice level on your chicken but the Mac needs more flave!!!! Awesome thing about this place is they are always keeping the customers on their toes with rotating specials!! Service was quick as well. Surprised me that it was inside a gas station

Great, spicy chicken. Drive thru and take out only. Better taste than most other chicken options. Frequently visit. Reasonable prices

First time ever trying R Diners as a recommendation from a friend. (Thanks Brian!!)…read more TAKE OUT: Piping hot. Ready when promised and the restaurant was standing only. Line out the door. Not a single open table. Lots of smiling faces in front and behind the counter. The place appeared clean and inviting. The service was busy busy and still very joyful and polite. I ordered the French toast (4) with sausage links and eggs. The French toast was tasty but because they were packed, it's reasonable the cook rushed the egg wash soak before cooking. But when using thick Texas toast, if you don't allow a moment for the bread to soak up the egg wash then you'll end up with some dry French toast pieces. A few were just that but-- I'm not complaining because this place was JAMMED PACKED! It was still pretty good. The 3 sausage links, unlike all the other restaurants around, these were Huge! Not those pinky finger sized links but big round fat and juicy sausage links. Delicious. 3 eggs over hard arrived as one giant egg with 3 yolks. A big ole pancake sized egg. lol. It was cooked well done as I asked with a little too much of the brown crust on the whites. But still yummy and I'm still not complaining. I just prefer less of that browning. It's simply from an overheated grill (too hot singed the egg whites) so No big deal. I'd rather be over done than underdone. Still very good and flavorful with a little sale n pepper. And last but not least: fried breaded dill pickle spears with generous amount of ranch. While I prefer a batter dipped fried pickle over breaded, these were AMAZING! Cooked to perfection. No hint of frozen taste. They tasted homemade! The ranch dressing dip is what we call the "good ranch" you can't find at the stores. The homemade stuff that elevates you 3 inches off the ground because it's so good. Prices were reasonable, the portions filling with left overs for lunch . The meals included generous amounts of dipping sauce, syrup and butter in my to-go without asking for more. This is my new favorite place to go for diner foods and by the overflowing parking lot, looks like I'm not alone. This is hands down 1000x better than anything I've ever ordered at Leo's Coney. Totally worth the extra few minutes to head over to R Diner and skip Leo's all together.

The atmosphere was like an old school diner. The portions were huge and the price was affordable…read more Service was amazing and fast. The breakfast was absolutely delicious. I will be back when I visit Michigan.
