Eureka is the best! The ambiance is perfect after a long day at work. On a hot day they make it open air by leaving the shutter wide open. My group of friends enjoy the happy hour drinks & appetizers. Easy to lose track of time since it so jovial. Wonderful rewards program as well with the Eureka app. Hands down a fave spot on Castro. Parking is good as well if you are patient. read more

Strolling around downtown Mountain View and trying to find a place to eat that my friend has never been to is like trying to find a needle in the haystack. As we were standing at the corner, across the restaurant and trying to figure out where to eat, a couple approaches us and tells us to go to Eureka! I mean if there are signs out there in the universe then this is it. My friend wanted to sit by the window, when we went in they said that it had been reserved so we were going to be seated elsewhere. Luckily, as we were putting our stuff down, the host tells us that the reservation was cancelled and we be seated at the front by the window.......what fate. We got there by happy hour and were able to take advantage of the deals. My friend and I both got the Eureka! American Cheeseburger, with fries. We shared the Mac n' cheese balls and the bourbon barrel cake. Service by Milani was phenomenal. She was so nice and attentive. If you haven't done so, you can download their app and take advantage of a $10 off coupon as a first time incentive. Plus, if you go back they have a loyalty reward system for frequent dining. My cheeseburger was yummy, the meat and the ingredients were fresh. The fries were really good too. Loved the way that the meal was served, it made it look more enticing. The highlight of the evening was the cake. Fabolous! The flavor of the cake with the vanilla bean ice cream was a perfect match. Not overwhelming. It was the right amount of sweet. We went on a rainy day, but by the time we went, the rain was not as intense and was starting to taper off. Warning....the floors were soooo slippery!!!! I thought it was me, even though it made no sense since I was wearing boots with a good rubber sole but when my friend made her way to the bathroom and came back she mentioned the same thing. I don't know if this is just because it had been raining and the floor was wet or if their floors are just slippery. The only other thing is that the water glasses looked a little smudged and dingy to me. The street is closed to vehicles, so parking can be found nearby at the parking garage and streets. It is a popular spot, great ambiance and lightning...a great spot for hanging out. read more

Came to Eureka! on Castro Street and the burger did not disappoint. Cooked perfectly, great flavor, and just an all-around satisfying meal. If you're in Mountain View and craving a solid burger, this is the place to go. I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu. read more

The steak came out over cooked when I asked for medium rare.. but thats not the worst part of all of this. The steak had zero flavor.. it was just super greasy. When I told the waitress, she seem so annoyed by everything. If im paying $39 for a steak.. it should at least have seasoning. read more

The only thing we've tried here was the buffalo wings, and these are phenomenal. The skin on these and crispy, sauce is so tangy and delicious, it makes you want to keep eating them. I've tried so many different buffalo wings and this place ranks very high on my list. I will say that on a Friday night, it was incredibly busy, loud and crowded, which makes me think everything else they serve here is great too. If you're looking for classic buffalo wings, I'd recommend this place absolutely read more

Eureka! - Classic Buffalo Wings - American Near Me - Mountain View, California

We got seated pretty quickly but then received no acknowledgment from any of the servers from then on. No water, no 'hi! I'm your server, I'll get your order after bussing these tables, etc...' or anything. It was obvious we were ready to order with our menus down looking for who might be our server. There were certainly staff walking around, but again--0 acknowledgement. We waited close to 20 minutes and then decided to walk out. I don't think you should be seating customers if you are understaffed. Maybe next time have a waitlist and seat customers only if staff is available. Or at least communicate that the wait staff may take awhile to get to your table... read more

Horrible service no server pays attention and when they do they show attitude one of the worst service after spending 250 dollars

This place deserves a review after visiting more than couple times now. We went for dinner on a Saturday without a reservation. I love the ambiance- lightings , the bar area and the service. Although it looked busy , we were quickly seated. Our server was very attentive and always had a smiling face . We ordered the chicken wings - the sauces were really good and the spicy chicken burger was good too. Truffle fries did not hit the spot though. The bourbon Carmel cake with vanilla ice cream was decadent. read more

After all these years, it was my first time to Eureka. We had 5 families with young kids, and we were able to get a lunch reservation for 20 people on a Sunday. Bonus: kids eat free this month! The food is standard American fare with burgers, salads, tacos, sandwiches, etc. They also had lots of craft beer options and a full bar. For the kids, they had coloring sheets and crayons, and as mentioned above, kids eat free, which was amazing. My kids got the Mac and cheese and also a full sized cheeseburger with fries. The meals also came with optional juice. For the adults: - Cobb salad: nicely grilled chicken breast, avocado, tomato, egg, blue cheese, pickled onion - fairly standard but on mixed greens and arugula - Smash burger: pretty solid; definitely pay for the upgrade to switch to truffle fries! Service was pretty quick, and they were well staffed. Eureka turned out to be a great lunch option for our big group! read more

Excellent food, service & ambiance. We shared tofu lettuce wraps, protein rice bowl & fish tacos. Excellent & tasty

I came across Eureka and I got the Asian salad and some french fries with cheese. food was fresh and delicious. My server was really nice and kind to us as well. I'm sure I will visit this place again. Place was nice and clean the only thing is the music was too loud. read more

Really solid spot for burgers and drinks. The food came out fresh and the flavors were good. Nice casual place to hang out.

Service was good. But wast of money. Food was nasty. Everyone was left unsatisfied and disappointed especially for the price. Don't recommend wasting money or time. read more

The best Eureka! location. Every time I come I am well taken care of, the food always is amazing, and the drinks are even better! (You have to check out the happy hour it is fabulous) Some of my favorites are the house margarita (it comes out of a tap and is one of the best unique margs), the salmon kale Caesar, and you can't go wrong with any of the burgers with some truffle fries. Eureka is a great place to come for a casual meal, to watch a game, or to hang with coworkers after a busy day! If in the Bay Area, don't miss out! read more

After having dinner at a local Ramen spot, we were walking up and down Castro for a spot for a nice cocktail. Eureka! was the perfect spot. We sat down at the bar and had great service the entire night. We loved all of our cocktails and had a great conversation with the bartender while watching the Rams vs. Cardinals game. The interior is on the darker side but the atmosphere was lively! Castro is closed off which is great as a pedestrian but makes driving a little more tricky. Regardless it was very to get to! read more

One of the most efficient but fulfilling work lunches! Customer service is five star! It's impressive how fast they are but still maintain very quality food I would expect at a nice dinner. Got fine dining level service and food somehow left in 40 minutes. Highly recommend! read more

Great food Great people Great service Eureka! Is amazing, but this specific location apparently mops their floors with vegetable oil. Seriously, be careful! Always slippery! read more

Was such a great experience, especially for a Monday evening. Jaz was our server and she was very quick and attentive. Loved the truffle fries and jalapeño burger! Will be coming back! read more

Wonderful ambiance (right on Castro street and lives up to the vibe of the street), good bar food but slow service. We went in on a Tuesday evening and the place was busy but still were able to get seating (outside) rather quickly. They have a great collection of beers and cocktails were good too. The Mac and cheese balls and shishito peppers were great! The food did take a while to come out but it was ok since we were not in a rush. read more

WOW. When we entered, there were about 4 employees at the host stand. ALL ignored us. We sat down at the bar and the bartender came over. We asked him what beers were on the list... and he couldn't name them at all. Also turns out that though they advertise beers for $6 for happy hour, it's only a few beers (like Coors Light) and the rest are still full price! Cheap-os. So I asked him what wines were on happy hour. He said, "Uh... I have no idea... I just pour them." Asked if I could get the happy hour cocktail with tequila instead of vodka; "No, they're all batched." Again, cheaping out. The place was dead empty, and now I know why! Food: very few options on the happy hour food menu. We got fried pickles. When the server dropped off, she said, "Oh, this ranch is spilling, can you grab some napkins". Sure, let me do your job for you. The pickles were good. The pretzel bites, however... tiny portion and the sauce was literally inedible. It had the grossest texture - it was supposed to be cheese sauce but it was CHUNKY. The vibe is just plain old bar. Very little effort has gone into jazzing it up. Go anywhere else on Castro St. Don't waste your time or money here. read more

We love Eureka! so much that this is my second, glowing review!! They've recently updated their menu, which includes the Ahi Poke Stack as an appetizer!! 10/10 - delicious!!! Super fresh and very tasty!! The hostesses, waitstaff and bartenders are all terrific, too! Great lighting and ambiance, and on a Tuesday night, steady stream of customers. read more

Mountain View, CA 10pm on a Friday night. Nice poke' appetizer and a cob salad for my husband. Add a beer! Super pleased! Excellent host who sat us. Excellent waiter! Night Manager, PLEASE turn the music down! We LOVE music, but we're NOT at a dance club! Customers and workers couldn't hear each other...Kinda ridiculous! We would have stayed longer and ordered another beer, but it was too friggen LOUD! San Luis Obispo Eureka is 5 stars! Which is why we visited the Mountain View location. read more

Had a great company dinner at Eureka! last night. They were very accommodating to our dietary restrictions and last minute booking of 20 people. I want to shout out Collin who helped organize everything onsite. My team loved the lettuce cups, the burgers we great, and the bourbon barrel cake was amazing! read more

We had a large group of about 15 people at Eureka, and the service was amazing. Our food came out quickly, and the staff was super attentive and accommodating. There's plenty of seating with high ceilings and TVs around the restaurant, making it a nice, open space. They're known for their whiskey and burgers, but honestly, most of the food--including the burgers--left a bit to be desired. That said, the nachos and truffle fries were pretty good! read more

I finally tried this burger shop in downtown Mountain View after so many years living in the area! I thought the Double Smash burger I got was just okay. I felt like the burger could have used a little more salt overall. It tasted a little bland and a little dry. My friends were lamenting that the 28 Day Dry-Aged Bone Marrow burger used to be so good and juicy but they changed it so that it's not as good anymore. They got it again to confirm and they agreed it used to be much juicier back in the day. Service was nice and friendly. Atmosphere of the place felt like a typical bar restaurant. Lots of big TVs behind the bar! read more

Great spot for late night eats and a kicked back atmosphere. One of the few spots in the area open till midnight or 1 am and still jumpin. Not dead at all. Kitchen is great. Food comes out fast. The truffle cheese fries are a must have. Same with the Brussel sprouts. Wings are good too - we kept ordering more. Mac n cheese balls great. Nice salad offerings. Definitely going back next time I'm in town. read more

Came here for their happy hour (ends at 6pm) and this place filled up pretty quickly. They have a very limited HH selection. Only 4 appetizer choices (around $8 each) and a $12 burger. They also offer 3 cocktail selections + beer + wine. Generally speaking, both drinks and appetizers were above average but the portion size was on the smaller scale. read more

Parking (4/5) This is located on Castro street (parts of which are blocked off for pedestrians). You can park in nearby free garages or on the street. Interior (4.25/5) The interior of the place is modern and clean and quite large with high ceilings). There is also bar space. Food (3.85/5) Spinach and artichoke dip (4/5) I liked the cheesiness and the flavor of it. Also liked that it felt baked on top but gooey below. The bread was good and crispy. The chips lacked flavor to me and were more on the stale side. Eureka Salad with Salmon (3.75/5) I like the lemon vinaigrette dressing I got with it. Refreshing and flavorful. The salad and green beans and avocado worked surprisingly well together. The salmon was on the drier side but not too bad and flavor was okay. Bathroom It was quite slippery both times I went. Not sure if this is common. Just wanted to note. But won't impact review stars. read more

i came in the afternoon for happy hour. their truffle fries are delicious. the table by the windows feel good to sit at. i had the lychee martini a few times. the campfire! is another drink i recommend. their alcohol options are the main appeal, from the draft beers to the cocktails. the area of mountain view they are in is very walkable and cute. a nice place to enjoy a slow day with close ones, especially in sunny weather. read more

Solid vibes, solid food, solid service! Came at 12:45pm on a Sunday and got seated right away. We ordered the Mac and cheese balls (so yummy), the brussel sprouts, I ordered the jalapeño egg with truffle fries, and my husband got the Napa chicken sandwich. Overall food was pretty decent. It's definitely on the heavier side though so maybe consider sharing. I would skip on the truffle fries addition next time. The sauce made the fries a bit soggy. read more

Came here again two more times during dinner hours, and the service was pretty horrible both times!! It was only good the first time because we came when it was not busy! The food was also mediocre when I ordered other meals (the wings were so bad and the tartare was also not good). The environment was much noisier and it feels like there's too much going on. Don't really recommend this place anymore. read more

I dined in here before but what really always make me come back is their dessert: Bourbon barrel cake. This is always a place I bring back friends to try their bourbon barrel cake that's fluffy warm with candied pecans and ice cream on the side. The perfect combination! I'm not a sweet tooth, but the sweetness of the cake with the ice cream is perfect and not overwhelming. I also recommend their cocktail: wild child( fruity flavor with salt rim). read more

I wanted a casual yet yummy dinner on my last night in California before heading back to the East Coast and decided to give Eureka a shot. They're located in a pretty cool area and the restaurant itself is on the corner with an open air type indoor / outdoor dining option(s). It took us a while to be seated as there wasn't anyone at the host stand and when they finally did arrive they had to sort out where we could be seated ... but once that was squared away our server greeted us and immediately took our drink order. We ordered 2 different types of wings and they were fried to perfection! The Firecracker wings were my favorite as they were truly the perfectly balanced buffalo flavored wings I've had in a long while with the best crunch factor without excessive breading. The blackened salmon kale caesar was what I ordered for my entree and it was served with a nice portion of salmon and a nice mix of kale and other greens with pine nuts and parmesan for an added pop of flavor. They also have a bar with an extensive beer and whiskey selection and they had the TVs tuned into Thursday Night Football as the 49ers were playing so the bar was pretty lively. Overall a really solid food experience and I highly recommend trying the wings with one of their beers for a perfect game day vibe. read more
