Came here with a friend after seeing a movie and all we were really interested in was grabbing dessert and libations. The service was great. It happened to be St. Patrick's Day and we were seated immediately. Our server was super sweet and more than happy to give me a recommendation when I asked what dessert I should get. The restaurant itself is pretty dimly lit, but we opted to sit at the window where there was plenty of light from the street and fresh air to be enjoyed. The Bourbon Barrell Cake was delicious, but I wish the scoop of ice cream that came with it was more firm. I like a thick, creamy ice cream that you can bite into. I would definitely stop by for a full meal next time. read more

My partner and I are regulars at Eureka MV off of Castro. Whenever we finish an intense workout we are always craving their "Steak and Frites" dish. We highly recommend adding the Bone Marrow Butter for full flavor + truffle fries! We also wanted to give a shoutout to our server/bartender Tyson, who went above and beyond to provide us with excellent service. He was professional, had a great attitude and sense of humor! Thank you! read more

Yesterday was my first time visiting here after our first choice (Redwood Grill) was a disaster. I guess it was meant to be to come to this place instead and I'm so happy I did! I ordered a Cobb salad with chicken and dry rub chicken wings. The wings were so tasty and crunchy. Definitely highly recommend! My Cobb salad was delicious as well but my only suggestion is that if they can cut the chicken in slices to make it easier to for people to eat. I only suggest that because when I visited their Roseville location for the first time I did noticed that little difference from that location to this location. I posted two pictures to show the difference in the Cobb salad with sliced chicken and non sliced. Other than that the service was attentive and our waiter was very nice and she kept coming back to our table to ask if we needed anything which I really like. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking to eat some great tasty food. I will definitely be coming back! read more

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 :) read more

Good burger at a nice downtown spot. I ate at the bar. Service was ok. Both bartenders seamed to interact with each other and could have checked in with the customers a little better. That being said I would definitely return for another great burger or try something else on the menu. read more

Eureka! - Classic burger with bacon - American Near Me - Mountain View, California

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. read more

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). read more

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. read more

Update* Uber Eats refunded me* I'm disappointed in the Eureka at Mountain View location quality of food for a takeout (UberEats) order. I have ate there a few times mid day and enjoyed but... The order i received today, a Caesar salad and fried chicken, I received a box of lettuce(literally) as well as hardly any Parmesan cheese on top, what a salad :/ To top it off the chicken was old and soggy I've included pictures of what I expected (from yelp photos) versus what I received ! Please do better the food wasn't eaten! And my money was wasted! My order was made @ 10:30 pm they close at midnight I wouldn't order on Uber eats from here again and I would be hesitant to go into the location late night read more

I looove visiting Eureka for happy hour! It's M-F from 3-6PM. I'd recommend making a reservation since it gets busy quickly! If I had to recommend anything from it... I'd get the mac n' cheese balls and truffle cheese fries. Both are equally delicious and addicting lol. The perfect crisp too! The only other thing I've tried has been the burger, but nothing quite stands out from out IMO. Service has been quick every time I've visited, and I usually don't have much trouble finding parking in the back lot. read more

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. read more

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.

Came to Eureka for their bone marrow burger and was satisfied. If you're a bone marrow lover, you will likely be too. It contains bone marrow shiitake butter, grilled onion, horseradish mustard aioli, and roasted roma tomato. I also got a side of truffle fries which were okay; the fries could have been crispier. The meal is obviously decadent, so expect a bit of a food coma after! We sat outside on a nice day. Service was a bit sluggish though, as it took a long time for our server to take our order and retrieve the bill even though it was pretty dead. read more

Eureka! - bone marrow burger + truffle fries - American Near Me - Mountain View, California

I used to come to Eureka! weekly with coworkers when I worked down in the South Bay and have missed it for a while. Finally came back to meet up with some old friends. The star at Eureka for me has always been the apps, but this time I may have finally found an entree that was better. My protein bowl was awesome: super healthy option that tasted amazing thanks to the fried sweet potato pieces, fried tofu, fresh veggies, and tasty pesto to pull the plate together. However, my husband wasn't impressed with his Wagyu bone marrow burger, which was disappointing since it's the most popular item on Yelp. In terms of apps, I'm sad they discontinued the mini corn dogs and didn't have the Brussels sprouts on the day, so I tried the lettuce wraps which had an incredible sauce, plus the always reliable Mac and cheese balls (now that I'm older, I can only have one not four). Love the vibes here. Enough people to feel lively, but enough space to feel private. Servers took great care of us and kept checking in to help. read more

My sister and I stumbled upon Eureka a week ago. The restaurant is very inviting and the bar was beautiful. We sat at the bar and ordered an espresso martini and an old fashioned. My only complaint is that the espresso martini comes out of a machine (Pre made). I prefer one that is crafted by the bartender. But it was good and we enjoyed our drinks. We also got the Mac and cheese balls. OMG! I can't begin to tell you how delicious they were. Just the right amount of crunch with the gooeyness of the cheeses. Hint of green chili. Deliciousness!!! I will definitely be back for lunch or dinner. All the good we saw go by looked yummy!! Highly recommend read more

Dropped by again a week later and ordered my usual (usual being only the second time): the steak frites, rare, with a generous swipe of bone marrow butter on top. Perfection. That rare temp? Exactly where the steak lives its best life--tender, juicy, unapologetically rich. Started with the Caesar salad, which was pretty good... but let's talk about the real crime: 2.5 croutons. I counted. It felt like a passive-aggressive garnish. Caesar deserves better (so do I) To drink: a Shirley Temple, because sometimes you want bubbles, pomegranate flavor, and nostalgia in a glass. Sat outside and soaked in the vibes. Even though Eureka is a chain--and I typically run from anything that feels mass-produced--this one earns its stripes. The consistency in execution, the quality of the food, and the laid-back, slightly elevated atmosphere keep pulling me back in. read more

Ah! Eureka is hands down one of my favorite spots for unique burgers and excellent cocktails. The vibe is always chill, the staff is friendly and on point, and the food never misses. Located in downtown Mountain View, it's the perfect place to grab a bite and then walk around--so many restaurants nearby and just overall great energy in the area. As for the food, the truffle fries and mac & cheese balls are always to die for. I order them every time without fail. The Fresno Fig Burger has been my go-to for a while now and it's still my favorite--such a perfect balance of flavors. That said, everything on the menu looks so good that I really need to branch out and try more items. read more

Tried Eureka at the downtown Mountain View location, having enjoyed another spot. Another success. I tried the Headhunter and it was strong, but refreshing. Well worth it. I was less impressed with the big island daiquiri and didn't finish. The husband had bone marrow burger and I had steak. Yum! Puppies were given treats. The area is delightful, a pedestrian zone with lots of restaurants, live music, and free parking. Will come again. read more

Came here on a whim the other day with a friend. TBH I haven't been to Eureka in YEARS. And last time I went I remember it was not a great experience. Flash forward todI was in the mood for a burger so we decided, hey why not try it again? We arrived and were seated promptly. The food much better then it was last time I went about 10 years ago. Service: 5/5 Our server was very friendly and had some great suggestions for food choices. He checked up on us and made sure we had enough water. Ambiance: 4/5 It was a little dark and some lighting would have helped. Hence the 1 star! Other then that it had a nice vibe and the booth/chair was comfortable. Food: 5/5 The food was pretty decent! I'd recommend the classic burger as my friend and I both had it and it was super tasty. You can substitute any side for a small charge instead of the fries it comes with. I had the onion rings and they did the trick. We also ordered a salad to *balance those burger calories* and the goat cheese one was a good pairing to the burger! My friend had something called "cinnamon honey sweet potatoes" and at first I'm like what is that??? I've never seen that or tried it on a menu. She felt like a risk taker that day so she ordered them. OMG I had a bite and they were so good! It's like candy for adults. I felt like I was eating a dessert so if you have a sweet tooth these are a must to try! I personally prefer the savory kind but as an avid potato lover I would definitely eat these too. Overall I'd say this place has really changed over the last few years and it is a decent spot to come for a nice meal! I recommend coming here for lunch or dinner and you will enjoy a nice burger and sides. I would definitely come here again ! read more

Food 3.5 Drink 3.5 Ambiance (bar) 1 Service (bar) 1 I'm writing this moments after leaving in the event that the management at this Eureka wants to increase sales, particularly at their bar. This is quite possibly the worst service I've had in years, certainly the worst I can remember. I arrived around 5 o'clock and the bar was about 70% full with one person behind the bar. There are multiple empty spaces with dirty dishes and glasses, however after looking around a bit I made my way to an open seat with the least mess in the area. Lesson 1: pre-bus your station while you're working, your head should rarely be down but scanning the bar at all times. As I sat down I could see the bartender on the far side of the bar cleaning glasses, drinking some water, looking around the restaurant , finally I was able to catch his attention. There is no greeting or smile when he came over, just a simple what can I get you. I ordered my drink and a burger. After he delivered my drink the only other time he said anything to me with when he dropped off the check. Lesson 2: always check on the customer after the food's been delivered, this also gives you a chance to sell another beverage. It was a shift change so one maybe two people were coming on and he was busy getting out of there. The dishes and glassware that I had noticed upon entering the bar were still there 20+ minutes later. The new bar keeps, assuming the person following the other person around the bar was actually a bar keep, they absolutely no attention to the customers at the bar unless the customers reached out to them. I sat with an empty water and an empty drink for well over 15 minutes. The new bar Keep and the person following them around the bar or really involved in their conversation, but after a while they started cleaning the bar. While I was planning on having another drink at that point I was pretty much done with my burger and there was certainly no ambience, conversation or anything else to encourage me to spend more money or stay at the bar. At this point the bar was less than half full. Lesson 3: as a bartender you control the ambience and energy at the bar. Dirty glasses, empty glasses, and spending more time talking to coworkers than the customers is a sure way to have a dead bar and lead to stagnated sales. A small note about the food, while my burger was definitely cooked beyond the medium that I asked for it was still OK. I can assure you that next time I will definitely go to the Cupertino location instead of Mountain View. read more

As part of the post-covid downtown Mountain View, this Eureka! spot does a great job offering lunch to workers and tourists around the neighborhood. My office being just two walking blocks south on Castro, I visited this location with a former colleague and we enjoyed the relaxing outdoor eating. Service was nice and they never forgot about us while we enjoyed our meal outdoors. I had the fig burger (medium) with upgraded truffle fries and it was fantastic. Juicy and flavorful, the burger really does a great job of satisfying your burger needs but without the greasiness you'd get from fast food establishments. This was truly a well made burger. This place is recommended for a lunch spot. read more

Went here for a team lunch so no food pics, but a ton of dishes were ordered. Of what I tried: Truffle Cheese Fries were good, Crispy Glazed Brussel Sprouts were pretty solid, and the Mac N' Cheese Balls were my favorite. For my main I had the Fish and Chips which honestly weren't the best I've had. Prices run about $12+ for shareables, $6+ for sides, and entrées starting around $20+. Thankfully this one was on the company tab! Service didn't stand out either way but no one in our group had any complaints so that's definitely a good sign. Overall, I enjoyed the meal but I'm not sure I'd come back on my own dime. read more

After wanting to try this place for a while, it reminded me of a higher end red Robin. My burger was pretty tasty, but didn't really stand out to me in regards to flavor.

Stopped in here to grab a bite while we were strolling around at the recent Christmas market. Is very clean inside and has a good atmosphere. We sat at the bar. We ordered soup and salad for lunch along with some drinks. My friend got her soup within minutes of ordering it, but I had to sit there and wait for another 10 minutes for a salad. (there was nothing cooked on it, so I should've come out at the same time). I am not a fan of main dishes coming out at different times - it makes it awkward when one person is done or almost done and the other person is just getting their food. I understand if it's appetizers, but this was our meal. As to the food, my goat cheese salad had a great dressing on it, with a proper amount of dressing, which I enjoyed. From being called a citrus salad there was hardly any citrus in there, but it was still tasty. I would get it again. I would definitely come back here again and try sitting at a table and seeing how things go there. read more

Eureka has some great cocktails even though they have a full wall of whiskeys. I got exposed to Eureka for the first time in Berkeley. A friend took me and I totally enjoyed the whiskey flight. It was amazing especially since I was very into whiskey at the time. The next time I went it was in Mountain View in my backyard. I enjoy their apps and usually go for happy hour. It is usually pretty loud inside so I usually try to get a patio table outside. Their burgers and sandwiches are very filling and I love their fries. I loved their tiki drink which I think is a special on their menu. read more

I don't usually eat American food, but I was really craving mac and cheese balls. They were definitely the highlight of the meal, and I would order them again if I came back. The sauce they came with was delicious! I also tried the truffle cheese fries, but surprisingly as a truffle fan, I didn't enjoy the truffle sauce. I'd probably pass on these fries. The spicy chicken sandwich was ok; nothing special and not really fried enough. The consistency was a little bit on the soggier side. Service was attentive and good. read more

I have always loved the food here but tonight was disappointing to say the least. My boyfriend and I came for some dinner and had a terrible experience with service so we decided to leave. We were sat in the high top table in the bar area. Had no server come to us for 20 minutes. While there were people who came in after us who received service before us. We went up to the bar to order drinks. The bartender brought water and didn't ask us if we wanted anything to eat, said he'd be right back with our drinks and left. Then another 10 minutes goes by and nobody comes up to us then finally our "server" came up to us and asked if we would be ordering any food tonight. We said no, just the drinks. We wanted to leave. After that it took another 10 minutes to get our drinks. Crazy. read more
