    Got here for a late night dinner. Place is open till 11 PM. Firecracker chicken wings were really good. The burgers were amazing. We got a spicy crispy chicken burger & veggie beet burger. Spinach & artichoke dip was great as well.

    We decided to try this place out for my birthday. We sat outside because they were busy inside. We had two kids and it wasn't a terrible experience. We ordered Jalapeño Egg*, Fresno Fig Burger, and the Mac and Cheese balls. Do not drink the lava drink. It does not taste good. It tastes like burnt rubber. I switched it to the Wild Child. Note to owners and managers- The waitlist on Google does not work. We didn't know until we were informed by the host.

    Food was freaking amazing, I'm not a chicken lover but the chicken sandwich was definitely one of the best I ever had! Good beer selection! 2nd visit, burger was good but chicken was much better! 4th visit, tried the Bison, was curious what was the buzz around it, it was definitely better than the burger, delicious. Spicy chicken sandwich is still my fave!

    We saw a line and almost didn't stop in for food. We were sat right away and then noticed they had a whole upstairs dining area. I had a fig burger and it was cooked perfectly for me. The sweet potato fries are absolutely Devine! The staff we all pleasant and I would recommend. Lunch For 2 with alchemist drinks total was $67 before tax.

    This is a new favorite place for me. The food is excellent (see photos) and well-prepared and there are so many interesting options to choose from to fit any craving. My favorite dishes include the Poke Stack appetizer, Spicy Green Beans, Ahi Salad AND the Spicy ‘Scary Hot Fries’ with Ghost Pepper seasoning! The service has been outstanding every visit.

    EUREKA HAVE THE BEST BURGERS IN TOWN BY FAR!! 😋 👌 The atmosphere is very upscale, and it is kid friendly to add. There are over 25 items on the menu🍽, probably over 30 easy if I'm remembering right. The bone marrow burger (limited availability) is amazing and best medium rare) to get the full depth of flavor. 🍔 Their salads are great too 🥗

    This is a must for some great burgers! Mary gave us exceptional customer service, made our drinks and overall delightful. Appetizer was the Ahi poki stack, followed by our burgers, all were delicious!

    Friendly atmosphere, good burgers, creative options that may sound wuestionable but are delicious. Food is average price, exactly what you expect at a restaurant these days. Lots of drink options and great sweet potatoes fries. Also great for takeout, a popular destination for my friends and I. Photos show the Fig Burger and the Classic with normal fries and sweet potatoes fries.

    Food was really good. They told us that there were slight delay in the kitchen and offered us free appetizers. Our food arrived maybe 20min after ordering which wasn’t too long to wait. They still didn’t charge for that food! Would be back if we ever visit the area again

    Place was great, the ambiance was unique, it's just little loud but understandable because it's a bar. The food is awesome and everything is tasty. My only complain here was our server William, he's a bit slacker for me. It took us 30 mins before he took our orders. When the manger came,we told him that we haven't got our order yet. So he took our orders. Thanks to Hunter for addressing our problems.

    Food was excellent. Ordered the fish tacos and the October special Scary Fries. The tacos were flavourful and had the right balance between ingredients. The fries were hot; definitely not for the faint of mouth. If you can handle some heat, I would recommend the fries. The rest of the restaurant, however left a bit to be desired. Specifically the men's bathroom had trash on the floor, the only urinal was broken and one of the flush buttons on the toilet didn't work. And, fortunately I didn't need any, there was no toilet paper.

    Very nice place, very good burgers with quality ingredients. Big choice of local craft beers and cocktails. Just a little disappointment: air conditioning was too cold for us. Anyway, great time at Eureka! Our waiter Jerrod was very nice and polite.

  • 4/5 Greg G. 9 months ago on Google
    Had a great time trying the Bison spicy charred Fresno chile / bacon-infused jalapeño jam / smoked mozzarella / whiskey caramelized onions and the Spicy Ginger Green Beans. The server was very encouraging and helped to make the food pairings which was right on par. She was excellent in checking that we had all we needed while making us feel truly valued as customers. Atmosphere was very pleasant and relaxing for all in attendance. 2time there so it’s gotta be a 3 time very soon. Thanks to the staff.

    Came by on the way to Cambria, we were looking for somewhere to eat and get local beer and landed on Eureka. I got a beet burger with mac and cheese balls and it was great! The patty wasn't dry at all, though it was a bit crumbly. Definitely one of the best veggie patties I've had. The mac and cheese balls were also tasty, I wish I had more than 3 because they were so good...but I think I would have been too full to eat them, haha. The server, Brooke, was very nice and even gave us a pint glass from their promo night last week.

    Service was quick, vibe of of the place was good. Food was as well. Nothing too spectacular or stand-out for me in terms of flavor but it is really good quality food cooked and served very well.

  • 5/5 Vex M. 5 months ago on Google
    Food was pretty good but the drinks were fantastic. Service was excellent and attentive.

  • 4/5 Sharjeel A. 1 year ago on Google
    Food was pretty good. Except fish n chips. It suffers the same fate as almost all the fish n chips here in the country. Batter was thicc. Tatter sauce could use some work. Other than "fish fry", everything else we tried were really well done. Drinks were on point too. Good ambiance, good hospitality and good food. Oh also, they are open till midnight. So, yes!

    Been here twice now and each time was a really good experience. I’ve now learned to ask what the market fresh cocktail is every time because it’s yet to disappoint! The chicken tenders are great and their Eureka burger is amazing. The sweet potato fries with the honey taste like sopapillas! It’s a desert for a side and worth the upgrade. The service is attentive and friendly. We’ll probably make this our go-to spot every time we’re in the area.

    I had the Bone Marrow Hamburger and I have to say it was easily one of the best burgers I've had this year. It was juicy and delicious. Instead of the fries I opted for the side salad and it wasn't the basic side salad I've sadly come to accept instead it was nicely prepared and thought out side salad that put other fine dining establishments in Manhattan Beach to shame. Also their truffle fries and dip were good

    Definitely would come back! Stopped in for a late lunch. My wife had the roasted chicken nachos, which she said were the best nachos she's ever had. I had the Fresno fig burger. Both were very tasty. We also both had a ginger lime soda. Delicious!

    We sat at the bar. The staff was very friendly and the atmosphere was fun. They have many mixed drinks and at least 20 beers on tap. The food was very good. I highly recommend the bison burger and spicy chicken sandwich. The pricing is very fair. We were there for at least 3 hours enjoying ourselves. The staff was also kind enough to hook us up with whiskey souvenir glasses to take home. We definitely will visit again when we are out in that area of California again.

    Hit or miss service (actually only one of four people we interacted with were up to par), but good "hoppy hour" deals. Roasted cauliflower was well seasoned, but served room temperature...on a mini skillet as tho it was a hot item lol. Burger was passable. Fries weren't hot enough, nor was anything else come to think of it. Odd. The Old Fashioned was not well prepared.

  • 5/5 Mel T. 2 years ago on Google

Beets and whipped goat cheese appetitizer what?!?! Cant stop wont stop! Cannot say enough good things about this place! The drinks The apps The mains all totally delicious and I cannot wait to come back! Come one come all to the best meal you'll ever have!
