Tenders and Waffle Fries
Haylee G.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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

Nashville chicken taco
Maisha R.

I often drop by Eureka eatery when I'm driving through the area and it's a great guilty pleasure. I love their monthly menu features. Their Mac and cheese is not my favorite, it tastes a bit bland, but the very flavorful chicken and other dishes definitely make up for it. I also love the truffle fries! Their halal Nashville chicken is incredible and perfectly spicy. I recently tried their December special of the Nashville chicken tacos and the flavor on this was incredible! Wait times on the phone and in person can sometimes be a bit long, but it's a great pit stop! There is about one large table of seating indoors, but otherwise plan to take out here.

Nashville hot corn ribs
Kara S.

Driving by, you would have NO idea that the best food was in the drive thru at this gas station. The food is beyond amazing. Their classics that stay on their menu like the truffle fries are to die for. But their monthly specials that they switch out on their menu are even better. This month I got the filthy Nashville hot waffle fries and the Nashville hot corn ribs. The shack sauce is phenomenal on just about anything on the menu. My favorite part is their milk shakes, you have to get one! The classics that stay on their menu are great, like the fruity pebble or the Cinnamon Toast Crunch. But this months mixer was banana pudding, it was delicious!! Only reason I did 4 stars instead of 5, was because of service. Plan to be in the drive thru for a long time. I was the only car when I pulled up to the drive thru, had a small order and still had to wait 25 minutes. I'm sure they make it all fresh, but it's a while to wait. On the inside, there is a few tables if you choose to eat there.

Yummy Nashville hot style chicken... my BF says next time he's going "inferno"- this time it was just "kluckin." We each had the special Sammy- personally I could barely eat mine at "mild" and he had to complete. I don't think he breathed the entire time. You can get waffle fries and a beverage with that for a small up charge. They have a drive through, tables are at a minimum- two two tops and one 4 top in a very cozy setting in the middle of a bustling gas station with a pretty decent selection of liquor. They do offer milk shakes at drink stations if you can tolerate dairy to help with the heat... it's a drive and really a destination!

Hot Sammie - clucking hot spice level
John H.

Everything in life has levels to it, including food. I was pleasantly surprised by Eureka Eatery. I travel a lot for work and would typically stop at a fast food restaurant if I needed something quick to eat. I would much rather stop at this place, which is attached to a gas station. The Nashville hot chicken was amazing and is what this place specializes in. Got the regular fries but would definitely come back to try the truffle fries. Who said gas station food can't taste good. The people working were extremely helpful and service was very quick, which is great if you need to get food quick and get on the road. Also this place has a drive thru as well. There is a small seating area in the gas station if you like to sit down and enjoy your food as well.

It's Cracker Barrel..... if you don't love it, it's you, not them!…read more I can't say enough about it. Great food, not always great for you, at a reasonable price. Anyone on the highways will always pass a Cracker Barrel. If you've never stopped in, give it a go. If you have, then you already know what I mean. I have two "go-to" menu items that I go for one or the other. Momma's French Toast Breakfast or Momma's Pancake Breakfast. I always get a side of their sausage patties because they are phenomenal on their own or, if you're like me, they go great with Cracker Barrel Maple Syrup. The French Toast is light and plentiful. It doesn't have cinnamon which isn't a problem for me, but some people just don't like cinnamon. Although I'll never understand those people, they have a right to their own personal tastes. Butter and Maple Syrup complete the meal beautifully. Cracker Barrel Pancakes are their own. The recipe is good but it's the preparation that is the key. I suspect that they are made on the griddle with a lot of butter. The outside of the cakes are almost fried-like with a little bit of crunch to them. Like the French Toast, the Pancakes paired with generous amounts of Butter and Maple Syrup make these an absolute dream. Cracker Barrel serves Breakfast all day long. They do have Lunch/Dinner items as well, but I've only had a few other things. I can say that their Fried Chicken is also outstanding. They've also got a lot of great sides to choose from. And, if you like, they also have a selection of alcoholic beverages to choose from. I can't list them because I've never ordered any. Given that I'm usually on the road when I stop in, and I'm typically eating a breakfast item, alcohol doesn't mix well with either driving or breakfast. The service is pretty much the same at every Cracker Barrel. Fast and friendly. They have a system down for what they're doing and it seems very consistent from location to location. And then there is the Country Store. If you have a long wait for a table, you'll be able to amuse yourself and kill time by going through the Country Store. You'll find everything from classic candy and toys that you didn't think existed anymore, to clothes, John Deere merch, food, holiday gifts and much more. Would I go back? After going on about it for the last 5 minutes, I want to go back now! Cracker Barrel is great for a quick stop while on the road when you simply don't want fast food garbage or it's great for a family/friend get together. No matter your tastes or eating habits, they will have something for everyone.

The food was really tasty! I got the shrimp with fries and let me tell you it was very good! I also…read moregot a free hushpuppie which was surprising! The service was fast and I have no complaints! There wasn't a lot of people in there so there wasn't a lot of noise definitely one of my favorite brunch places to go!
