OC Restaurant Week
Grace K.

Noticed eureka rolled out a new lunch special menu so stopped in to give it a try and it did not disappoint! I opted for their salmon Caesar, the salmon was cooked perfectly and was a generous portion given the price point (honestly a really good value!) The service at this location is always spot on. The servers, bartenders, and manager are always friendly, attentive, and genuine. Their dining area is open and inviting, with a really great ambiance regardless of where you are sat. They also have a cute patio area as well with a fountain, and heat lamps for the evenings If you aren't already a part of their rewards program, highly recommend. They drop in little treats every so often and it's incredibly easy to use. The points actually add up pretty quickly as well. You can either store your card for automatic point accruals or upload a photo of your receipt.

The servers are friendly here but the service isn't always the fastest. Good news is the food is pretty decent and their specials for happy hour and certain days of the week are great. The half off Double Smash on Wed is an absolute steal! It was very busy inside Eureka on a Wed night which was great to see. Usually a good indicator the school year at UCI has begun as there were quite a few tables that looked like college professors and administrators. There were also a ton of people in the bar area. Overall a great experience for a quick and delicious dinner with great company.

"Hoppy Hour" signature burger with fries = compact, average-tasting meal for $14
Laura H.

Our group of four went for "hoppy hour" and were seated in the outdoor patio on a chilly night when it didn't appear busy, but at least there was a heated lamp close to our table. Servers were friendly and provided good recs for our cravings. Eureka Signature Burger with Fries ($14): 3/5. Compact cheeseburger with a small portion of shoestring fries that was like a slightly elevated version of fast food. It wasn't bland, but I felt like it was just average, lacking some kind of "oomph" factor to make it a memorable meal. It gets the job done, but it's not substantial enough to fill you up if you're super hungry. Since UTC is near schools and residences, it's always flooded with students and families, so it can be noisy at times. Other than that, we enjoyed our time at Eureka. It was a relaxed spot to try out happy hour and catch up with friends.

Delicious food! Place was packed so ate at the bar.

Miss this place! Lived next to the HB one and was so sad when it closed. Came here during the week for dinner with a gf and the food is still delicious! Got the restaurant week deal which was an appetizer and entree for $25! This is a steal because the sonoma chicken sandwich was huge! Enough for 2 people to share. Large piece of chicken on thick bread with tomatoes, bacon and a garlic aioli. This also came with fries. For my starter i had the mac n cheese balls which were just as good as i remember. Lots of beers on tap which is nice. Place was lively and full, total opposite of the HB one which was empty most nights lol. We also got an order of the fried pickles and these were pretty small pieces and soggy so i would skip these next time! Would definitely come back for other things on the menu though.

6/15/26 Eureka! Burger Irvine, CA... Came here for my son-in-law's UCI Graduation ‍Celebration !!! We were here during the 11 AM to 3 PM $13 lunch special menu time, so I ordered the Fish & Chips. We had also ordered Onion rings and Brussel Sprouts for the table to share! Service here was good, two ladies were helping our table, one was being trained. The food was great and we had a wonderful time here! Definitely a clean place inside and outside. Restroom was really clean too! Come visit here and celebrate if needed!!!

Nachos, Fish Tacos, Fried Pickles - all on happy hour!
Sarah P.

Came here on a weekday for happy hour and had a great experience! We were seated right away, and ordered drinks & apps. Food came out quickly (the tacos were a great deal and soo delicious). We also really enjoyed the fried pickles. Service was kind and the perfect amount of attentiveness. Great experience and would come again for happy hour!

Saturday night at 11:00 PM and Eureka was still popping honestly felt like a Friday night. Such a great surprise. Loved the outdoor seating areas with the fireplaces perfect late-night vibe. The food was on point, especially that late. The fries were insanely crispy, and everything came out fresh and dialed in. What really stood out, though, was the customer service. At that hour, you usually feel rushed, but not here at all. Staff was attentive, relaxed, and genuinely welcoming. Highly recommend.

I can't believe I've been to Eureka a million times and haven't written about it yet! This spot is my go-to before entering the Bermuda Triangle aka TJ Maxx, Sephora, and Bath & Body Works. Obviously, a girl needs fuel before she disappears for three hours and comes out with things she did not plan to buy. Eureka always comes through with a great selection of drinks, and their burgers are forever a win! Seriously pick a burger any burger, it will be a guaranteed party in your mouth. The atmosphere is relaxed with dim lighting that sets the mood for an actually peaceful meal... before the retail chaos begins. 10/10 recommend: eat first, shop later, and thank me in the morning!

We had a group of 10. Waitress was able to split drinks out from bill. Thank u so much. Very accommodating

Fresno Fig
Sepideh S.

Eureka is hands down my favorite burger spot. I used to live in Santa Barbara -- home to plenty of great burger joints -- but honestly, their meat is the best I've ever had in my life. What makes Eureka even better is their amazing selection of drinks and beers that perfectly complement their creative menu. My go-to is the Fresno Fig Burger. I try to switch things up every now and then, but every few weeks I end up craving it again. The combination of blue cheese, fig marmalade, and fresh greens is an absolute match made in heaven. I can't recommend this burger enough! The service is always great, and they consistently nail the cooking and quality of their food

Fish tacos
Dr. Amelia H.

First time at eureka spur of the moment in the late night hours! The service and vibes top notch for a random night out=4 ! Friendly, great service and check ins and fun atmosphere, but the food only 3 ! Here's the breakdown: -the fries perfection light crisp and soft inside, but sadly the fish tacos were bland. With all the toppings and lime and even a side of ranch, it was needing some seasonings, even salt would have helped it didn't have any on the fish. -The appetizer came out cute and nice looking but not my favorite. The ahi was fresh but an the other toppings like guacamole weren't balancing with it well. Again maybe just needed salt? -Will have to come back and keep trying other things and at different hours bc was really rooting for the food here given the prior reviews.

Seared Salmon, Mac N' Cheese Balls, Street Corn
Katie M.

We came here for a quick bite to eat. The food was pretty good! Service was quick and nice. Ambiance is very cool!

Kis T.

Really busy. Their ahi tuna was the best honestly. Ordered a side of sweet potato fries that were fried to perfection. It's costly, but the fish quality made up for it Busy atmosphere; dim lights and active night life area

Mac n cheese balls

Reviews are mixed. Many highlight the friendly attentive service, lively comfortable atmosphere, and well-liked burgers. Most enjoy the food, though some report inconsistency.

Are cigars allowed in the outdoor patio area?

Smoking in Irvine is illegal. You may not smoke in any public areas.

Hi, I have a tech network brunch for Saturday. Is your patio user enough for us to talk? 9ppl today. Thanks

Yes they have tables and the patio that accommodate big groups

The fries come with the burger. You chose between regular fries and sweet potatoes fries.

You can tell who is the manager - he's the guy sitting at a table with a "Stand" hat and tee-shirt feverishly entering data and looking at stuff on the computer. Why are managers always the one at the table with a laptop? If you go just down the block to Flower Child the manager is the one working at the counter handing our orders, or delivering orders to tables and interacting with the guests. Never saw him use a laptop but I'm certain he does. But the manager said goodbye to us as we left. A chicken sandwich with chicken and cole slaw was made with chicken that we very flat and hard, and had no real taste at all. I think we've been trained to get all our flavor from sauces - they had lots of sauces available and brought them to the table on request. A basket of sweat potato fried was undercooked and too soft. Not so good even with salt and lots of sauces. Of course we didn't eat the signature burger....that's what The Stand is known for...so we didn't really give them a chance for their home run. The place was about 25% full at about 3pm so ambiance was fairly quiet and service was quick. Not sure about a return visit. We're on the fence.

I asked the waiter what the fault soup and pizza were. He responded very sneakily kale leek ham and some prosciutto pizza. My boyfriend's mom didn't hear and ask him to repeat the soup and basically yelled in her face. The he left and came back to take the drink order. My boyfriend got an espresso martini and it was not good, had a weird taste. My coke was in a warm can and they gave me ice. Then we ordered break & butter which was yummy. The food was half good and half not. The steak was cooked very well. The potatoes are just a little weird with no seasoning. The burger was delicious and the fries too. The Jidori chicken is supposed to be a favorite but it was basically super rubbery, almost undercooked seeming texture wise. Then it was inside a bath of soup which made everything very soggy. We also got a Moscow mule and JT was not a Moscow mule, we had to send that back. Barely ate the chicken as it wasn't good. Overall very pretty anywhere you sit due to the lights and trees. Maybe would come again but definitely would not want the rude and condescending waiter.

First time here and last time…read more We were greeted at the door by a young man who checked our reservation and led us to a table. The tables for two are so small that you can only get two plates and a fork and then run out of room. We like to share so we always place some plates in the middle - we asked for a table for four - barely large enough for us as we looked at the tables and the young man switched to "snit mode" and took offense as he explained why - in a restaurant full of empty tables - they needed the tables for four to be available. We insisted and prevailed but not without a definite signal that we were now "on his shit list" of new customers. The server was excellent very attentive. Only disappeared once for 15 minutes but then showed up again (thank you Megan) and never lapsed again. The table arrangement tipped us off immediately. The tables were arranged in "rack and stack" mode with tables set side by side with only barely enough room for someone to pass between tables - a very thin person - and so immediately we saw rows of tables so close as to be uncomfortable. That and the extremely loud music had us getting up to leave almost immediately. It didn't help that the table next to us had three people having a liquid lunch and screaming and laughing at the top of their lungs (I think) perhaps we should have given more notice to the purple and green hair? We couldn't hear each other talk in a normal voice. The server came with menus so we decided to sit and take a look at the menu. Too bad we didn't act on first impressions. We decided to split a vegetable salad - very good and seemed fresh - and a lasagna - the pasta was clearly homemade in the kitchen (very good) and the meat sauce mediocre at best with no flavor and some very hard toast triangles to remind us what 70-year-old teeth feel like when trying to bite concrete for lunch. So a warning....this is not your dark and quiet relaxing Italian Restaurant....they have their own idea and believe me it's not relaxing....they envision stacking people into a very fast and efficient amazingly small table next to hundreds of people who are all competing to be heard across the table....this is kind of like NY Italian....servers one to take your order and other very strong gentlemen to deliver your food. And deliver your food they do very fast and unpleasantly. We might have enjoyed the food more but the loud music persisted and we finally left after ordering dessert - gelato and a cappuccino that we quickly vacated and left behind. Try this one if you must but just be aware that if you're looking for Italian and a relaxing experience you may be disappointed.

They should really reconsider their pricing because it's hard to justify charging that much for a smoothie. Another downside is the parking situation. Parking is horrible, and you're pretty much stuck trying to find street parking, which can be frustrating. Despite those complaints, I genuinely enjoyed the food and would definitely come back. Hopefully, they'll reconsider their smoothie prices because everything else was pretty solid!
