    This place had a great burger, delicious cocktails, and an all night happy hour. A perfect stop after the concert and before going back to the hotel. The window seats were great for people watching and our server was a doll.

    It's been years since I have dined in this spot but we took it to go recently and it's still fairly decent, the burgers were good not as good as I remember, I wonder if something had changed. The onion rings are my favorite, overall a decent spot

    I love coming here as the ambiance is great, the prices are super reasonable, and food tastes great. I've tried both the Fresno Fig burger, as well as the fish tacos here. Definitely liked the tacos more, but the burger was also great. They have good choices for their kids menu as well. I loved the fact that one of the side options for their kids meal was mixed fruit. Strawberries and pineapple -- the kids loved it plus it was a healthier option over fries. Win-win. Oh and I also tried their dragonfruit cocktail and that was also SO good. Will defs be ordering that again.

    This is our spot for the best happy hour food menu. in mountain view. We tried so many new appetizers. The Brussels sprouts were so yummy. We also shared two burgers with fries and sweet potato fries. The tacos were also very good we preferred the shrimp over this fish. I like my tortilla cooked a lil more it was super cold and a bit under cooked for my personal preference. I shared we went there for a birthday dinner. Be prepared they don't care about birthdays here. So we haven't indulged in their desserts. Service was okay it was a full restaurant. We parked right outside free parking.

    I've been to Eureka! on Castro Street a few times now, and it has quickly become a go-to. It's always lively thanks to the heavy foot traffic in downtown Mountain View, making it a great spot to hang out, meet people, and people-watch. The bar area is particularly nice, long, with plenty of seating, and a wall of TVs if you're looking to catch a game. * The Food: The Burgers: On my first visit, I tried the Eureka American. It's a thick, juicy burger, and even though I'm usually picky about pickles on my burgers (despite being a fan of pickles generally), theirs provides a perfect balance. It's $18+, which is a bit pricey, especially since the fries portion is a little light, though they are very tasty. The Pro-Tip: I went back on a Wednesday and discovered Smash Burger Wednesday! They do $9 Double Smash Burgers and fries all day! In the Bay Area, finding a full dinner for under $10 is unheard of. The two smashed patties equal the size of a regular burger but at half the price - totally worth it. The Surprise: The absolute standout was the Carrot Cake. The bartender suggested it, and he wasn't lying. It's surprisingly good. As you can tell from my photo, I couldn't even wait to take a picture before diving in. It's officially the thing I look forward to most now. * The Drinks: They have a top-tier collection of whiskeys and a massive rotating beer menu (just look at the taps on the wall!). I had a very healthy portion of an Old Fashioned, but the highlight was the Laughing Monk Belgian. It's crisp, with a hint of citrus, perfectly refreshing as the weather starts to warm up. I liked it so much I had to have a couple. * The Bottom Line: Whether you're there for the craft beer or a solid burger, you can't go wrong. I'll definitely be back on Wednesdays for that $9 double smash, a cold Belgian, and another large slice of that Carrot Cake :)

    Came here on a weeknight evening and it was PACKED. Thankful the person I was meeting made a reservation, which is highly recommended! Their drinks are good but food, they hardly had anything for vegetarians. I ordered brussel sprouts and fried pickles as my dinner. Ambiance isn't bad and this would be a good pre-dinner drink spot but I def don't recommend this for vegetarians.

    June 19, 2026 fried chicken sandwich
    JoeandKari C.

    We stopped in on June 19 for dinner. Thankfully, we had a reservation because I did not realize how impacted the business would be because of FIFA/World Cup soccer. We came in a little bit before our reservation and had a beverage at a tall top table by the bar, and I have to note it was the only tall top table that was available, and all the seating at the bar was taken once again busy because of soccer. My old-fashioned and the lavender lemonade were both very good! I have to compliment the female bartender because for 20+ minutes she was by herself and keeping up with all the drink orders. Once again, so glad we made a reservation because when we were seated, there were only two available tables. The fried dill pickles were perfectly prepared. The barbecued bacon burger was cooked as ordered. Unfortunately, the fried chicken sandwich arrived with the spicy aïoli, but with it being so crazy busy I can't really hold it against the waitress because a "food runner" brought it to our table. We both enjoyed the fries and I did get a fried chicken sandwich without the aïoli and a side of mayonnaise. The fried chicken sandwich was delicious and I really liked the coleslaw on top of it/inside it. The hostess, the bar staff, and the waitstaff were all very pleasant, and we really appreciated interacting with Jasmine! At least eight TVs And 40+ beers on tap, not to mention an extensive bourbon/whiskey list too.

    On a chilly Saturday afternoon I decided stop by Eureka for a beer and catch up with an old buddy. Fortunately, it was too crowded and we were able to get a table immediately. I was craving a beer that was more malty and "Obi" our server offered a sample of the Karl Strauss and Pizza (yup) Port. Both were decent and I went with the KS. Excellent. My buddy went with a grayhound and it was also excellent. A tip of the cap for then using pink grapefruit juice. Nice touch. Eureka is a good place to grab a drink (or bite) and have a good chat with friends. I will definitely be back. Now for the pic.

    Eureka is a fun, lively spot with tons of outdoor seating spilling into the street since the main road is closed to cars. The inside is dimly lit and energetic. It can get a little noisy if you have trouble hearing, but the atmosphere is upbeat and social. We went on a Monday and it stayed pretty full most of the night. Service was very good. Our server checked in often, and the manager even stopped by the table to see how everything was going, which was appreciated. The cocktails are good, and the batch cocktails were a hit at our table. Food was solid across the board. The brussel sprouts were great. The ahi poke stack had very fresh tuna and came with good chips that made it easy to eat. I ordered the spicy chicken sandwich. The chicken was cooked really well and super juicy, just not quite as spicy as I expected. One thing to note is that many dishes come with some kind of aioli, so that is worth knowing ahead of time. I also liked that the menu lists calories, even for the drinks.

    Orange chile glaze and Eureka! dry rub wings
    Amanda M.

    My boyfriend and I were looking to watch some football with a beer and a few snacks, without going to a sports bar or a pub, so we ended up at the Eureka! bar. Overall this was OK, though I know we didn't order enough to fully review. We ordered two hazy IPAs, pretzel bites and split the wings between the orange chile glaze and Eureka! dry rub. The beers were refreshing, but the pretzel bites were sad--the bites themselves were barely bites and there weren't very many. The wings were pretty standard, and we both preferred the orange chile glaze. I liked that these were flavorful without being drenched with dressing. The service at the bar was fine. We were helped quickly by one person, which was good, but I felt like someone different was checking up on us every 5 minutes (a little overkill).

    Burger and Fries

    if you like overpriced burgers and fries, sure I guess this spot is for you Food is just okay and it's just a classic American style restaurant, nothing really standout here Vibes here are good and they got a bar, super loud when it's later at night so it's hard to talk

    Truffle Cheese Fries
    Kristina K.

    This was my first time at this location. I went for lunch on a Saturday afternoon and we were seated right away. I got a vodka soda splash of cranberry and it was made just like I like it. I had two of these and everytime I leave Eureka I don't feel too drunk which is good but I also don't order their wild child's anymore bc I feel like there's is minimal alcohol in there and more juice. I always love the brussel sprouts and truffle cheese fries! Can't go wrong w those appetizers! This was my first time getting the cheese burger and onion rings. The cheeseburger was good, but I do like the fig burger better. The onion rings were super crunchy and good. The campfire drink is fun, it comes with smoke when in a bottle when the waiter pours it for you and a toasted marshmallow. I do like the Santa Clara location a bit better for the vibes, I like the outside seating/bar there.

    Truffle Cheese Fries - 4/5

    What on Earth happened to this place?! I've been here a few times before, just never got around to writing a review... I remember thoroughly enjoying my experience at Eureka when it first opened. I fell like Eureka has steadily had a downhill progression since then. The food took forever to come...simple order, just burger and fries; 20 minutes at least and it wasn't outstanding or great. I had to ask the bartender if the kitchen was backed up. His reply; "Oh yeah. They're backed up." Ummm....at least have the decency to tell me that...common courtesy I would have thought. It's what I would have done. Customer service is now an afterthought. #Burger ~ Double Smash - 2.5/5 This didn't look like a Double Smashburger, barely looked like a Smasedburger actually. Apparently Eureka is fully onboard the shrinkflation wagon. The sizes of the burgers have shrunk and the prices are up, the flavor seems to be missing as well not. The Fries were good. ~ Bone Marrow Burger - 2.5/5 I had this in the past. This time it looked like a former shadow of itself. My buddy was NOT a fan! Pre SHRINKFLATION items I was lucky enough to enjoy... ~ Osso Buco Riblets - 4/5 ~ Truffle Cheese Fries - 4/5 ~ Bone Marrow Burger - 4.5/5 ~ Bone Marrow Burger - 4/5 (2nd time around - Steadily declining quality) ~ Chicken Nachos - 3.5/5 ~ Blues Burger - 4/5 ~ Milk Stout - 3.5/5. A bit Sweet Don't think I'll be returning anytime soon or possibly ever...

    Ask the Community - Eureka!

    Is there a veggie burger option?

    Yes, they offer a burger called "Veggie Beet." It has a housemade beet & kidney patty, house pickles, tomatoes, onions, arugula & a tart lemon vinaigrette. My coworkers has eaten it and they rave about it. Everything there is delicious!

    Is there covered outdoor seating?

    Not covered and not heated but there is outdoor seating available

    Are there heat lamps next to the outdoor seating?

    Yes.

    What are the happy hour food choices?

    Eureka Burger w/ fries Spicy Fried Chicken Sandwich Spinach & Artichoke Dip… 

    Do they have "happy hour" on the weekends too? If so, between what time?

    Sorry I can't remember, but I think it was just during the week...

    When is happy hour on weekdays?

    From 2pm-6pm and 9pm to close.… 

    Eggs menu all day?

    Hello. In regards to having eggs added on to a menu item. Yes eggs all day. If in terms to breakfast menu, Eggs for brunch is from 10 a.m to 2 p.m Saturday and Sunday

    How is it if you order a $17 burger the guy comes to the bar saying "did anybody order a burger?" at a BURGER joint -- every last person will say "yes" to that. Is consideration given to giving the customer with what they ordered?

    The real question is how were you able to make it through such a terrible experience. You're very strong.

    Gluten free options for Celiac's disease? (Please, not salad with exceptions lol)

    I have friends with same dietary restriction order the burgers (not the turkey or veggie patties) bun free wrapped in lettuce.

After sitting down, we realized the lively music was a little too loud for us, so we opted to move outside to their "patio". We were still able to enjoy the music, but it was also important that we could hear each other talk. Thankfully the weather was perfect. Two of my friends ordered the Chicha Morada, $8, a refreshing mocktail. After I took a sip, I ordered one for myself! Our lunch entrees were the Mixto Clasico, $26, Pacific red snapper, calamari, shrimp, leche de tigre, Anticuchos de Pollo, $22, Two marinated grilled chicken skewers, roasted chimichurri potatoes, Peruvian corn, served with Limon hot sauce, and two orders of the Crispy Pork Belly Chaufa, $28, Peruvian fried rice, bacon, mixed vegetables, green onions, ginger-infused oyster sauce, topped with crispy pork belly & sesame seeds. Each dish was beautifully plated and appetizing to look at and eat! Most of us were happy with our food choices. The only issue my friend and I had with our crispy pork belly chaufa, was the dryness of the pork belly. It is also advertised as crispy, and it was definitely not crispy. However, they were generous with 5 slices of the pork belly. The rice was super yummy. Would I order it again? Probably not. I so wanted the pork belly to be moist inside and crispy on the outside, but it didn't happen. My leftovers made for a great dinner for my hubby though. Service was friendly but since we were seated outside, and it was busy inside, it took a while for our server to check up on us. Their menu is extensive, but a little pricey. Believe it or not, they also have a menu of Nikkei sushi rolls. Their dining area and bar are simply stunning, and their ladies' room is one of the prettiest I've ever seen! There is a parking garage in the same building as the restaurant, so very convenient. Would we dine here again? Absolutely!

The German Spicy Mustard was perfect as well as a sweet tomato Chutney. I had the Ribs and Mac & Cheese. The Mac a Cheese had a mild spicy flavor that you don't expect in a Mac & Cheese.

It was a perfect blend of Spicy and sweet. Best I've ever had bar none. Hubby had the Truffle Gnocchi. Thought it was really good. The cream sauce was surprisingly light not gut bomb heavy. The Gnocchi was light with perfect texture. Overall great dish. The one failure to the dinner was the Fish n Chips. The fish was extremely fishy in flavor which is not what Fish n Chips is supposed to be. My brother-in-law was the one eating it he stated the fish wasn't fresh must have been frozen.

    Yikes! Stayed at the hotel this past weekend for a birthday staycation and was excited to try this…read morerestaurant. I dined with my daughter Friday night (08/28). It wasn't busy so I was surprised at how awful the service was. The young man who seated us looked like he hated life. I should've known that his vibe was only the beginning. Our evening went downhill from there...After our order was taken, and our food brought out, we never saw our server again. I finished my prosecco and never got the opportunity to order a second glass. Eventually, I told my 6-year-old to wait while I went and asked for a dessert menu. At which point I mentioned that we never saw our server. The woman at the stand handed me dessert menus and said someone would be with us shortly. A different server came and took our dessert order. But after dessert was brought to us, once again we were ignored. When I tell you that we could've gotten up and left and never paid, nobody would have noticed. That's how much we were ignored. I was fucking pissed at this point. I got up with my child to go complain when the server quickly noticed and asked if everything was ok...fuck no it's not ok! Quickly gave him my room number and said that the evenings service was atrocious. And we walked away. And if the service was bad, the food was worse. When I tell you a DiGiorno pizza is better than their rendition of a margarita pizza, it's not an exaggeration. My pizza literally had four tiny sprigs of basil. And their olive paste garnish on it is unnecessary. Their twist on the margarita pizza was not appetizing. I can't complain about their fries though. It was basically the only thing we ate that we enjoyed. Their guacamole was rough too. Lacked flavor. The dessert was the biggest disappointment, food-wise. It appeared to be a brownie baked on a chocolate chip cookie, cut into a pie slice. It was HARD. I gave up trying to get my spoon through it. Needed a steak knife. The ice cream was fine. After this experience, we decided we would not be eating at the restaurant for the rest of our time at the hotel. We went and picked up food or ordered in. The bartenders seemed nice, but once the afternoon hit, my daughter had to wait over 30 minutes for a Shirley Temple to be brought to the pool. After waiting too long I decided to get up and go to the bar and ask what was going on. Her Shirley Temple was sitting there at the bar, and they had accidentally put it in a typical glass, which is not permitted at the pool. The bartender apologized because the server who had taken my order at the pool, did not relay to the bartender that the order was for the pool area. All in all, I would never eat here again. As a local, it's disappointing because the ambience is nice. But the food is overpriced and not even close to being good. And as for the service? My God. This was officially the worst restaurant I have ever eaten at. Ever. When the manager of the hotel asked how our stay was, I casually mentioned that the restaurant was lacking in a lot of ways. But I didn't expand on the experience. However, I was surprised to see that the manager had taken off the meals from the charges to my room when I checked out. And I sincerely appreciate that. I never asked for it, but was appreciative as it was unexpected. Bottom line. The hotel is a nice stay, and I plan on staying again. But you couldn't pay me to eat at that restaurant.

    Really enjoyed our meal at Ludwig's Biergarten! We ordered the pork knuckle, veal schnitzel, and a…read moreGerman stout, and it was a seriously satisfying German feast. The pork knuckle was the highlight, huge portion, beautifully roasted with crispy skin on the outside and tender, juicy meat underneath. The rich sauce paired really well with it. The veal schnitzel was crispy and generously sized, topped with a creamy mushroom sauce and served with red cabbage and jam. I especially liked the contrast between the savory schnitzel and the slightly sweet, tangy cabbage. And of course, German food needs German beer. The stout was dark, smooth, creamy, and refreshing, and went perfectly with the heavier meat dishes. Great place when you're craving hearty German comfort food, big portions, and a proper beer-garden experience. Service was attentive. Ambiance was great. Come hungry!

    I've been here with friends, family, and coworkers, and always have a great time at Ludwig's!…read more + This place is such a winner in the warmer months, as they have a covered outdoor section perfect for day / evening drinks + Servers are all warm and friendly via phone/email/IRL! + Good variety of beers on tap and served at various sizes for all levels of mellow/turnt you want to get + Their German food is quite good. I got schitzel and it was nicely crispy and served with spaetzle. I can never find the latter in the Bay! + They take reservations! Super helpful when you have a larger party. We reserved online and they saved a great spot for us. It was crowded when we arrived but we didn't have to wait a second! + They have various events here throughout the week. We caught the tail end of trivia night and that looked fun and lively! = Prices are fair (especially fair for Mountain View) - Service can be a little slower when it's busy, but I just remind myself "c'mon - you're in a beer garden! Relax!" Put this on your must visit list if you're looking to celebrate Oktoberfest in the next few weeks, or if you just need a nice spot to sip and munch German fare in a lively setting!

There is plenty of parking nearby, both street and parking lots. Here's what our party of 3 had on a recent visit: Appetizer - duck potstickers with hoisin dipping sauce -- wonderful, I could have ordered 2 of these plates as an entree and been happy Mains - I had the pan-seared scallops with mashed peas, spinach, capers etc. Very good -- my only complaint is it only included 3 small scallops. For the price there should have been 4 or 5. Fried chicken with mashed potatoes, sautéed kale. This was delicious, we don't often order fried chicken but this was cooked just right. My sister had the goat cheese salad as her main, it was very good with little balls of fried goat cheese. Drinks: Good wine selection, I had my usual glass of Savee Sea Sauvignon Blanc. Dessert: We split an amazing dessert, the Sticky Toffee pudding Sundae which is caramel and vanilla gelato with a toffee sauce, whipped cream, pecans-- so good! next time I"m getting one for myself.

It came with two small burgers and was plenty for me, no fries though. Definitely get the smoothies - the Mint Lemonade was not too sweet, refreshing, and cooling. The Mixed Berry one was good, but I claimed the Mint Lemonade as mine. You will need to scan the QR code to see the menu and order inside. They bring the food to your table. I asked for mayo for my hamburger, and waited and waited and waited. I finally had to go inside to ask for it before my burgers got completely cold. That was a bit annoying for a 20% tip. The restaurant is on a closed street with lots of restaurants on each side, so there isn't parking right by the restaurant. We did find a parking lot near by.

I had the Santa Fe savory crepe. The mix of flavors at the edge with the sweetness of the crepe was really good. Then in the middle it was more of the flavor of the scrambled egg and loads of provolone cheese. Definitely not a real bad problem, just not as interesting. The place is a nice casual restaurant with music, but nothing to loud. You can still hold a conversation.

Crispy chicken + gochujang honey + brioche + a fried egg? Whoever came up with this understood the assignment. My mom got the Shrimp Po' Boy, and my nephew went for the BLT. Everything coming out of the kitchen looked better than the last thing. The umami fries deserve their own paragraph because we kept ordering them. And ordering them again. And then somehow ordering them AGAIN. At some point I think the fries just became part of the family. We also tried the deviled eggs with tobiko, which were SO good! But let's talk about the drinks because this is where things got dangerous. Our server Sam was AMAZING. He was attentive without hovering, knew the menu, and gave us recommendations that were genuinely spot-on. We trusted him completely by the end of the meal, which is how we ended up trying several cocktails. My favorite was the Low rider because I'm a mezcal girly and the espresso martini was especially good definitely one of the better ones I've had. I loved the different ingredients they use, including Ola Coffee, which gave it something a little different. And then Sam recommended the whiskey butter cake. That cake was the perfect ending. Every recommendation he gave us was a hit, so at this point I would probably let Sam plan my entire brunch menu. We had such a fun family brunch and genuinely left talking about how much we enjoyed everything. Great food, great cocktails, great service, and a staff member who clearly knows how to make people have a good time. The ambiance was also such a vibe. The interior is really cute and we got seated in a booth, which made it feel extra cozy and perfect for hanging out and enjoying brunch. I could totally see this being a great spot for family brunch, drinks with friends, or even a cute date. It has that kind of atmosphere where you can dress it up a little or keep it casual and still feel right at home. 10/10 would brunch here again.

We tried the loco moco and chicken and waffles instead. Both were good and portions are average sized. Usually we can't finish brunch between the 2 of us but this was easily consumed with no leftovers. The chicken and waffles came with matcha butter which was a nice touch. Overall a safe choice for brunch and I'm interested in coming back to try some of their lunch/dinner options!
