My friends and I came here late on a Sunday night after watching the bats at Congress Bridge. It is not a far walk and it looked pretty popular compared to other restaurants we had passed while exploring the city. The hostess greeted us warmly and we were quickly seated. Our server was lots of fun and patient with us as we took our time determining drinks and meals. We started with their nachos appetizer to split, which was really good. The chips were evenly covered with toppings, and it was just enough to get us through until our meals. My friend and I split their special burger that day, which was a green goddess burger and swapped the regular patty for a veggie patty. It was great! The veggie patty reminded me a lot of falafel, which is one of my favorite foods, and it went really well with their green goddess dressing and other toppings. We also both got their sweet potato fries as a side. They come with a spicy aoli that went very well with them. The rest of the group got the same burger, the Bone Marrow, which was a mix of regular beef and waygu. Everyone said it was probably one of the best burgers they've ever had in their lives! The vibes of this place were great, the staff was great, and the food was the greatest part of all. When we come back to Austin, this place will for use be on our list to stop at again! read more

We parked a few blocks away and walked down to Sixth Street, which was a nice area to be in. From the moment we walked in we were greeted warmly and seated immediately. Our server made sure to let us know happy hour was going on, which was nice. The drinks were a good start. I had a really nice margarita and my mom ordered the sweet tea, which she enjoyed. For food, I ordered the brussels sprouts off the happy hour menu and thought they were good. For entree's My mom got one of their burgers and I ordered the fish and chips. My mom really enjoyed her burger. As for me, the first piece of my fish was fine. When I went back to eat the rest I realized the fish was actually undercooked, which was pretty disappointing. What I will say is that the manager handled it really well. She came over, removed it from my bill, and brought me another round of margaritas. That kind of service recovery goes a long way and I appreciated it. Overall the ambiance was nice, the drinks were good, and most of the food hit the mark. The fish and chips were a miss but the way the staff handled it made up for it. I would give Eureka another shot. read more

Wow, it's been such a long time since I've been to Eureka. I was downtown a little early for an event. So I popped in to Eureka to kill some time. Just grabbed a cocktail real quick. The cocktail was called Wild Child. A little vodka, watermelon, and a spicy rim. Wicked good. The watermelon flavor was refreshing, and with that habanero spice rim really complimented the sweet. Bravo. Delicious! read more

Overall: 3.4/5 We came back on two separate occasions (dine in and take out), and the food wasn't as good as the first time we dined here. Farmers' Market Cocktail ($15.50): Our waitress recommended this gingerbread cocktail, but it fell short of expectations. The gingerbread flavor was barely detectable, though they did serve it with an ice cube shaped like a gingerbread man. Wagyu Bone Marrow Burger ($23) + Beer Battered Onion Rings ($3): A medium rare beef patty with bone marrow shiitake butter, grilled onions, horseradish mustard aioli, and roasted tomatoes. Unfortunately, the patty was dry and lacked juiciness, and the bone marrow shiitake butter flavor didn't come through. The burger as a whole was surprisingly bland. I'm not even convinced the tomatoes and grilled onions made it in, as it tasted like a bare bones, basic burger. The onion rings were decent and crispy. Double Smash Burger ($20.75) + Sweet Potato Fries ($3): Garlic dijonnaise, red onions, dill pickles, and American Swiss cheese. This was an improvement over the Wagyu Bone Marrow Burger, with noticeably more flavor, though I wished it came with lettuce and tomatoes. The sweet potato fries would have benefited from being air fried, as they would taste better crisped. Lettuce Wrap ($18.25): You can choose between chicken or tofu, and we went with chicken. The gochujang based sauce gave it a great flavor that we really enjoyed. That said, some of the lettuce had blackened edges and one piece had a bug on it. They really need to wash and inspect the lettuce more thoroughly. Crispy Glazed Brussels Sprouts ($12): The orange chili glaze and chimichurri created an amazing flavor profile. However, the Brussels sprouts were anything but crispy despite being air fried, which is probably because they were extremely oily. Purple Haze ($6): An interesting and enjoyable drink. read more

Burger wasn't bad, just took way too long for it. I think the order is forgotten. Ordered sweet potato fries but didn't come, still the regular fries and not too fresh. I ended up box it away and ate it at my hotel room. The good thing is. I was hungry after one hour wait. read more

Eureka! - Downtown Austin Austin is known for BBQ, but sometimes you pivot... and sometimes that pivot turns into one of the most satisfying meals of the trip. Eureka! absolutely delivered. I kept it simple: Caesar salad, dry rub wings, fries, and a bold 12% stout. The kind of order that sounds casual but hits like comfort food perfection. The wings were crispy with just the right smoky-spice kick, the fries disappeared embarrassingly fast, and the stout was smooth, rich, and strong enough to make you slow down and savor it. And then dessert showed up and stole the whole show. Bourbon barrel cake with ice cream. Warm, buttery, slightly boozy, with that cold ice cream melting into every bite... one of those "okay this is dangerous" desserts you keep eating long after you're full. Easily the MVP of the night. Great vibe, relaxed energy, solid service, and food that punches way above "bar food" expectations. Not BBQ, but honestly? Didn't miss it for a second. read more

I may have eaten my dates fig burger. I do not eat beef, but I tried it and I just couldn't stop. The mix of creamy goat cheese, tart and sweet fig and ... a few moments later it was GONE. I felt bad, but he wouldn't let me order another, because I wanted to eat another one but I was already full. The bourbon barrel dessert is killer and you NEED to get the garlic aioli on everything!!! Especially the house signature fries. The vibe is chill and I would comeback every night if I could. read more

Excellent food and service! My husband and I stopped in on a holiday, and we found a great bar with outstanding food. We tried the dorito crusted shishito peppers with Parmesan, which came with a delightful dipping sauce. Absolutely delicious; we ordered on a whim and could've gone for another order easily. We each had a burger; my husband had the BBQ bacon burger with truffle cheese fries. I had the fig burger with honey-cinnamon sweet potato fries. Both were just fantastic. The drink menu is ample and delicious. You are just about guaranteed to find something you like! Also worth calling out that bartender was super friendly and full of suggestions. The bar area was clean, comfortable, cool and inviting. We very much enjoyed our visit and will be back! read more

Eureka! is nicely located in downtown ATX near many of the hotels. They are open late, which was the main draw for us to stop in. There is ample seating and great options for bigger groups. Service was quick and kind. I loved that all salads/bowls could be made into wraps!!! The mediterranean salad as a wrap was a HIT and the fries were nicely flavored. I definitely recommend this place if you are in downtown. read more

No matter how busy 6th street is, it seems like this place is never very busy. They've got tasty burgers and drinks, what more do you need? We got their Brussels sprouts (delicious) and the fries with truffle cheese. The cheese was so good that we ordered more to go with our burger fries. I love their fig burger, so I haven't branched out to order anything different yet. The goat cheese and sweetness of the fig pair perfectly with the arugula and bacon. I was too hungry and forgot to take any pics sadly. Service was on the slow side, but we were there around 3pm, so that's to be expected. read more

Valeria was awesome! Gave great recommendations, was attentive, and thoughtful. We truly appreciated her vibe! This spot has live music, is medium loud, and the food was out of this world! The following burgers were the ones we tried and loved: *The Bison *BBQ Bacon *Eureka American *Spicy Fried Chicken *Wings: Firecracker & BBQ Dry Rub The only downside is parking. They're on 6th street so plan ahead or use a ride share. read more

Had an incredible experience here being served by Lorena. We split the Cobb salad and the fish tacos and upgraded to green beans on the side of the fish tacos and they were delicious. Lorena was very kind and took care of us promptly and made sure we were fully taken care of the ambience was clean and welcoming and comfortable. I love that their windows throughout the space so you can see the street view while you're sitting inside they have a lot of options for food and I will definitely be coming back to try some more. read more

Pretty solid spot for a late night...it's a great location downtown and I was able to walk right in and sit at the bar. The bartender was really nice. I had a burger with a sub of tatter tots. The burger itself wasn't bad, but a little underwhelming and the tots were the best part. read more

Eureka! - 28 Day Dry-Aged Bone Marrow - American Near Me - Austin, Texas

We visited Eureka! last night and the food was decent. I ordered the jalapeño and egg burger with the truffle fries which was good. Although I could have done without the truffle fries and the extra $3 charge. It was drenched with truffle oil, which was overpowering. The burger meat was good, but it was nothing to rave about. We also ordered the macaroni and cheese balls, which were actually good and would recommend. The service was great. The hostess seated us right away without any wait since there were hardly any people in the restaurant. Our waiter was helpful and very friendly. The ambiance was nice except we sat by the front window by the hostess stand, and we witness two homeless men fighting. There is a large full bar in the center of the restaurant, which has a lot of cocktail selections. It would be a nice place if there were not a ton of homeless loitering on the side of the restaurant. read more

I finally tried this place after having it on my list for so long. Came on 1 January, and it was quite empty. The vibe here was great, our server Alyssa was incredible, and the food was really good as well. The only thing bringing down the rating was the portion size. Definitely expected something a little more filling. We both got a burger and they were pretty small. Other than that, great experience! read more

We stopped by Eureka for a birthday dinner. Valeria was a great waiter. There was live music but too loud to where we couldn't hear each other. Parking is limited so come early.

Valeria brought out a birthday dessert as well so that was sweet of her! read more

We dined in with a large party. I made reservations ahead of time and we were all early and they were able to accommodate our large party earlier than I had planned. We were greeted warmly with a smile and the service was great as well. All the food was delicious. Especially the rueban. The pastrami seemed like it was homemade and definitely not the lunch meat kind most restaurants serve. I forgot to take pics of the food. There were also TV's inside so we could keep up with the longhorns game read more

Stopped in late afternoon/early evening for a drink and some light bites. Got some nachos with steak and french fries along with a cider and a Eureka Sour. The nachos were nachos and had a respectable amount of heat from fresh jalapenos. I thought the fries were excellent - good texture and not greasy. Service was a little inconsistent. They were not busy and did not appear short staffed, but it was difficult to get the bar staff's attention for another drink or more food. It seems like the kind of place you can socialize and that it gets quite loud when it's busy. read more

I'm honestly mystified by the "Crispy Veggie Burger," given such a specific name promising a textural experience that it absolutely does not delivery. I'm all for a vegetable-based patty, I adore beets, and the fact that it's made in-house is to be celebrated, but crispy, it is not. Soft on the outside, mushy on the inside, it's more like lightly seared refried beans on a bun. Fun ambiance, great drink list, incredibly kind and welcoming staff, plus vegan options, so I'm not mad at it. Just a little bit disappointed. read more

Food was great but the table we were at is right by the bathroom and it smells so freaking bad. I understand some bathroom moments aren't great but the entire experience smelled so bad which made our experience such a bad one. I could barely eat. read more

Austin did not disappoint when it came to food. One of our stops was Eureka. We sat at the bar and the service was great. I don't remember the margarita we had but it had cucumber in it. It was so refreshing. We ordered the nachos , wings and mac n cheese balls. The nachos were good and the salsa had a slight sweetness to it. A nice touch. The mac and cheese balls surprised me having a some heat to it. Very tasty. The wings were my favorite. Nothing fancy. Just well seasoned. I can see this being a great place to sit at the bar or grab a table for more of a date vibe. I enjoyed ! read more

Went for lunch with a few co-workers. The food is good, we ordered various burgers and a chicken sandwich. The service however was super slow! Like to the point we almost left as they took forever to take our order or come back for us to be able to pay. They were severely understaffed and the waitress did her best. So maybe management should revisit staffing to ensure faster service but food over all was good! read more

Enjoyed our meal. Four people - five macaroni ball's, three burgers, one Cesar salad. Great service. 100% on top of it. Macaroni Balls - do it. 5 in a serving. Better than expected. BBQ Burger - good. But not as many onion strings as in the glamour photos on yelp. Cheese Burger - yum, great sauce and pickles. Smash Burger - bigger than most smash burgers. Was expecting thinner pattys but came out stacked. Fries - crispy and salty. Pretty darn perfect. Not on the menu, GREAT MUSIC. I loved what they were playing. read more

Ok, so I've visited Austin in the past and I wanted to try something new. My granddaughter (13 yoa) selected Eureka! and I'm so glad that she did. We walked in and were greeted by a hostess who was warm, pleasant and engaging. We were seated right away so I took a spin around the bar. The bourbon (& whiskey) offerings were impressive. They had a large selection at fair prices. So we are 8, 13 & 60. You might imagine that all of us have different expectations in food, service and entertainment. It all started to come together for us when Katie S. stopped by and introduced herself as our server. This young lady is a master of her craft. She was enough of everything and not too much of anything. Katie was friendly & engaging and she is intimately familiar with both the food menu and the alcohol offerings. She made subtle suggestions with the children but when I told her I was torn between two selections, she made a recommendation that was decisive. She offered an explanation for her suggestion and it made sense to me so I went with it. Not being familiar with local IPAs I asked for a suggestion to pair with my entree which Katie had selected. She hesitated ZERO! I am telling you, this woman is a true professional. Both were excellent!! The food arrived and in total it included; kids Mac-n-Cheese, spicy fried chicken sandwich and the pastrami reuben with a side of Mac-n-cheese balls 2 beers and a slice of carrot cake. The food was, across the board, 9 out of 10 we were completely satisfied. You'd be wrong if you're thinking, that's basic food, how hard could it be? While these selections sound like standard fare, they were each elevated in their own way. That said, Katie S was the star of the show! She stopped by often, but didn't hover. She made recommendations decisively, with tons of confidence and self assurance. My youngest was enthralled with Katie and engaged her in conversation. Katie was reallllly good with her. She seemed enthusiastic and interested, but cut it off eloquently keeping the child's feelings intact. Eureka! is firing on all 8 cylinders! Give this place a try for the food, drinks, and service. Stay for the live entertainment which will make your soul soar. read more

I thought the food here was pretty good but nothing special. The location was why we came here as we were heading to a speakeasy nearby afterwards for drinks. I just split the Brussel sprouts, Mac n cheese bites and the ahi poke stack with my boyfriend and they filled us up. The portions were pretty big. I'd say the best thing was the poke stack which was served with wonton chips and a yummy sauce. read more

On my first night in Austin, Texas, staying downtown at The Driskill, I grabbed dinner across the street at a lovely whiskey and burger bar with a wonderful selection of bourbons, cocktails, and burgers that offer gluten-free bun options. Eureka! The ambiance was quite dark and cool, with antler-built chandeliers and LED lighting radiating from parts of the bar and walls toward the back. The bartender was hospitable and patient as I scanned the menu for drinks and food. The Fresno Fig burger and white Truffle Cheese Fries were quite yummy. You can order any of their burgers and sandwiches with gluten-free bread as an alternative, which was great since I had cut out most bread from my diet. They have a solid whiskey selection to enjoy neat, on the rocks, mixed, or in a cocktail. The George T Stagg was one bottle I saw right away that I couldn't pass up for the price they offered, compared to other bars I have seen it. Cocktails such as their Morning, Peaches were additionally delicious, which turned out to be the finisher of my meal. read more

My friend and I had a nice, quiet weekday dinner there. Mikey, our server recommended the pork bbq sandwich topped with coleslaw. It was so good, but could've used a little more coleslaw.

Not bad for a place in Downtown that has decent burgers that come with plenty of fries on the side. I didn't appreciate the random fruit flies at my booth, but despite that, the food quality and service was good! Our server checked in on us what seemed like every ten minutes, lol. I shared a plate of brussels sprouts that were delicious, but could have been crispier in my opinion. For my burger, I got the beet burger which had a gorgeous pink-purple hue on the inside and the right amount of crisp and crunch. The burger could have had more aioli/sauce, but at least it came with a generous amount of ketchup for both the bun and fries. Prices were reasonable too! read more

Wow. First time here. We started with the Mac and Cheese balls (sorry, no pic - but the pictures already shown accurately represent them). I was expecting a typical cheese flavor. But there was a nice little zing from the beer cheese and (I think maybe) Fresno chilies. Not enough to be spicy, just enough to enrich the flavor. Bottom line, they were really good. For dinner, my wife ordered hand breaded chicken tenders with a salad. I ordered a Cowboy Burger with fries. Burger was amazing. Great meat, bun, shoestring onions - everything. The chicken tenders, I particularly like how they are cut long and thin. Definitely fresh, hand battered. Service is really good. Nice casuall ambiance. The biggest issue is that we are not 6th street types. It is on 6th street. So if you like coming to this area, this is a must try. read more

Honestly I had really high hopes for this place. I hate leaving bad reviews but for the price point you would expect more. Especially being on 6th street. Firstly we walked in there was maybe 6 other people dining. Seating was fast however service was not. Appetizers: * Mac N Cheese Balls 3/10. They look like they would taste good but majority of what you get is the bread batter not actual Mac n cheese. Tasted more like hush puppies if anything. Entrees: * Baja fish tacos 2/10 Again presentation is great but taste was not. Had little to no flavor. For the price point the tacos are super small. Waiter told us it came with 4 ended up with 3. The ranch it came with was good though. *Eureka All American with Truffle Fries & cheese 3/10 The onion is a little over kill. The buns were stale/cold and tasted like they came from Walmart. The actual meat of the burger was okay. The fries were not the best. Tasted old and soggy in oil. Smelled weird as well. read more
