My friend and I have been here for happy hour several times and the service is usually good ..buy if it's busy there might be a wait...I wanted to try something other than a burger so went with fish tacos..I don't know what I was expecting from a place that isn't Mexican but the fish was good however the salsa and slaw underneath were underwhelming..very tiny bits of pineapple ..the corn side which cost me 2 more dollars..was just ok...flavor was bland and it was cold. My friend went for the happy hour burger even though in the past she's been unhappy with how it's cooked. Tonight was no exception..she asked for medium well and it came out very pink..sent it back and the second time it was overdone...waitress explained they have an inexperienced cook...not impressed with our meal and I definitely won't be trying the tacos again...disappointing for a nice place located in Bressi ranch .Also want to mention it's pretty noisy inside...On a positive note we do really enjoy the house Merlot..very smooth and has notes of plum. read more

This was my second trip to Carlsbad. The first was business the second pleasure. I found this place out of dumb luck the first time. I was starving and it was the closest to my hotel that seemed decent. I was not sorry! The second time I couldn't wait to come back on purpose. This place has a great menu! Highly recommend the Ahi Nachos! Wait staffs were awesome and accommodating. The aesthetic is welcoming both inside and out. read more

Completely obsessed with this tucked away gem. You can see the name from Palomar road but you have to turn in to find it. The inside is adorable and the outside is super chill! Lots of great seating. Their fried pickles and dip, the BEST!! Their chicken sandwich is also amazing. All kids meals come with an appetizer of fruit and veggies.. so cool right?! And you can get a pitcher of drinks, I recommend the watermelon one! read more

Love this place for its vibe and late night food selection. Where I live, there's not that many late night bars. This is a good place to bring familes and friends for a quick bite and drinks! read more

Met a friend for lunch and we shared the fried pickles, they are delicious! He had the black and blue burger and it was messy but delicious. I had the bbq burger and wolfed it down. Will be bringing my family here soon to enjoy some other treats. Forgot to take pics. Sorry! Server was attentive and friendly and the atmosphere was really nice. read more

I came in after a few years and the food was still amazing, the service was great and the atmosphere is always chill. They have a new signature drink called the Dragon Fruit Mojito. The presentation was beautiful and it was incredible (even the piece of dragon fruit that was on the side of the glass ). Always a fan of the Mac & cheese balls and the Bourbon Barrel Cake (hits the spot every time). Job well done bartender and chef and thanks to our lovely waitress (sorry I forgot her name). read more

First visit and already impressed! Came here on Mother's Day at 1:00 PM with a party of 7 (with reservations) and had zero issues. It was my wife's 50th time visiting and she's celebrated birthday or after work event here before, and now I understand why! Everyone in our group loved their food, especially the kids. The bison burger and Brussels sprouts were the standout for me--absolutely delicious. The outdoor area was perfect--great space for the kids to run around and the little signs and decor added a charming touch. It was a beautiful and memorable Mother's Day experience all around. Branded resturant but you couldn't tell because had homie but corporate feel. Highly recommended, will definitely be back! read more

Ordered takeout paid $50 for a dry rib-eye sandwich with soggy bread and even soggier fries. Rounding out this culinary experience with a $16 piece of carrot cake that tasted just as good as its presentation. What a treat! read more

Mia- you nailed it!! Thank you for your amazing service. All of your recommendations were spot on! The Dorito shishito peppers were soo good. The fish n chips were the best we've had in years. And I must bow to your opinion of the carrot cake - definitely gives mine a run for its money! Our next trip to San Diego will absolutely involve a trip to Eureka! read more

Love coming to the spot in Bessie Ranch. They have a great happy hour Monday through Friday 3 to 6 and then nine to close and their cocktails are always good. They have the old fashion on special for under $10, which is always a win in my book, and I've never had a bad meal here. They're smashed burger and steak salad are some of my favorites. But they have a great apps like Rachel sprouts as well. Nice atmosphere and during happy hour. There's a lot of people that work in the area that come here. There's also a nice little turf area out front. In case you do bring kiddos with you. read more

We had a small party of 3, this time I was in a bit of a hurry so I did not take photos of the meal. It was busy and loud but we were seated quickly, the waiter arrived right away and got us oriented. We ordered Burgers, and an appetizer. The food arrived quickly, again it was very busy. But service was excellent. We were on a business trip or I'd say we would be regulars. Great first experience Thank you! read more

Rolled up here at 8pm with 4 kids and 4 adults after a day at Legoland--couldn't do another night at Bricks buffet. They easily seated our party in their large indoor/outdoor space, and the staff was so sweet and incredibly accommodating, getting our kids' food out super quickly and bringing a fruit/veggie snack for them in the meantime. Local beer on tap, good tunes playing, and tasty, interesting food! Highly recommend! read more

Delicious, doordash yall all the time. Sam was great, super cool nails and extremely personable. My Fiancé loved her.

Absolutely love Brandon M. Bartender at Carlsbad location. Excellent service, extremely pleasant, & very hard worker! He makes Eureka a go to place for us every Sunday morning! Thank you Brandon! read more

Enjoyed Happy hour with a friend. My friend and I ordered drinks, truffle parmesan fries, and vegetarian nachos. Service was nice. We had a lady walk by before happy hour ended to ask if we wanted another drink. The food was good too. I enjoyed the flavor on the nachos with the salsa and fresh chiles. It was a little too dark inside the restaurant for me as soon as I walked in around 5 pm, but my eyes adjusted. read more

Sofia and Callie were great for food and drink. Try Wild Child, it's a must!! Play the accent game.

Food: The French fries were cold. The cheesesteak sandwich meat was soooo salty, it was almost inedible. The Caesar salad was great. The steak with chimichurri was great. The burgers were good. Brussels Sprouts really good as always, but not very hot when they came out. Service: very sweet waitress, but she forgot to bring a few things that we'd asked for, and we had to ask more than once for a few things. Ambiance: nice layout. Very loud when the restaurant is full. Hard to hear people across the table if you have a larger party. read more

What a great place!! We came here for a girls night out and had a fantastic time. We had the pleasure of being served by Jade and she was amazing and so kind. The manager, Evelyn was such a delight as well. Thank you Eureka and staff for a wonderful night. read more

This location is often visited by my coworkers and I due to the proximity to our office. We always come back because the food is great and the people are always kind to us. I tend to eat their poke stack or ahi salad when Im there because it's perfect every-time. The salad is a bit on the smaller side but I still enjoy it with a side of fries. It can get very busy during lunch time BUT most of the time you can walk in and get a table no problem. read more

I am amazed at the popularity of this restaurant and it must be the appealing interior and outdoor seating and family friendliness. The service was okay. But the food was deplorable. My chicken lettuce wraps were served with limp, old butter lettuce that would have been impossible to use to wrap anything. The contents were the consistency of a bad soup. I could not eat more than one bite. The nachos had hardly any cheese and what was there had been cook almost off. Finally the fish tacos were served stone cold. Unbelievable. read more

Eureka is a fun place to go with indoor and outdoor seating options. We ordered drinks at the bar while waiting for our table and the servers were on it with several different bartenders asking us if we had been helped while we were still deciding. The drinks were not only well made but also delicious. When we sat down the servers were again on it and friendly. Nothing but good to say about the service. The food was blah. Not terrible, but just boring and leaves nothing to remember. There were four adults and we all felt the same. read more

Not the first Eureka restaurant I've been to, but Sofia was a great bartender and was super knowledgeable about the cocktail list!

So I've been on the hunt to find the BEST Fish and Chips in North San Diego and I was totally bummed to discover that my beloved Ebullition in Bressi Ranch had closed for business earlier his year. Suddenly I looked around the block and saw the sign for Eureka, wondered if they had Fish and Chips, and EUREKA, and was stoked to see that they did! A lot of places "say" they can make a killer and authentic Fish and Chips, but can they really? I can't begin to tell you how many times I've gotten soggy batter, tiny, limp pieces of fish, and cold chips (fries). Ebullition's Fish and Chips was beyond perfect so I crossed my fingers and placed my order with Eureka and I was gobsmaked how incredibly GREAT theirs is! I seriously have never tasted a batter that was so darn crispy! The portions of fish were generous and the fries were delectable. I still can't get over how crunchy the fish was. Eureka will now be my go-to Fish and Chips place! An honorable mention also goes to their truly brilliant Veggie Beet Burger. I've never had a red colored burger before and, at first glance, I thought it was raw beef, not beets, ROFL! The flavors were totally innovative and fresh and it has to also be one of the very BEST Veggie Burgers in the area too!! Suffice it to say that, with Eureka, I've struck GOLD! read more

Very fun space!! It has a great energy. Both inside and outside seating-- open air. Service was friendly! Food was very good! We got burgers and they were both cooked to our liking. The side choices are elite-- we subbed for sweet potato fries, mac and cheese balls, and street corn. read more

Very good service, the HH menu, is quite limited. Our meal, fish and chips was not what we expected, for 25$ a plate.

The outdoor patio and vibe of this spot drew me in. They also have indoor seating. It was a nice spot to have drinks and a meal with friends. Service and food were both decent. Our server was nice but not as attentive as I would have liked. The food looked really good but it was okay. I tried their fried pickles and wings. read more

Super family friendly and delicious food! The atmosphere and ambiance is modern and fun. The food and drinks were great. Our 3 year old had a great time and was very happy with the children's cheese burger and fries. Highly recommend the spicy chicken sandwich. Also one of the best whiskey sours I've had at a restaurant. Servers were friendly and great with the kids running around. read more

First time here, I went after work and it was happy hour. I sat at the bar and the bartender was very attentive even with how busy it was. Omg the Ahi Poke Stack was amazing! So fresh! So flavorful . Definitely coming back here and often! read more

The Carlsbad Eureka is the best location! It's in a very non traditional place which I love. Super local vibe. The service is always top notch (Mia is AWESOME!), the outdoor space for kids and dogs is chill and open, and the food never disappoints. It's been the perfect place to train my dog how to behave in public establishments. And their new menu is fire! Definitely get the pretzel bites! And ahi poke. And bone marrow burger. The only thing I'll say is that online the al pastor tacos (new) are made with mahi, but it's actually cod. I only bring this up because I don't like cod. So happy this gets to be a local go-to spot for us. read more

We came here to celebrate two very special birthdays - my son and grandpa and spent a significant amount, so we expected at least the basics of good service. Unfortunately, even after reminding the staff and server 2-3 times about the celebration, no candles were brought out, and the dessert was served on a cluttered table without clearing our dishes. The food itself was ok , but the service truly took away from the experience. When you choose a place for a special occasion, the little touches matter -- and those were completely missed here. Hoping the restaurant pays more attention to hospitality in the future. A Fat tip was expected which we still generously tipped . Very disappointed. read more

Great food Awesome ambiance Best cocktails and whiskey selections Great food Out of town, found this place and will be back again and again read more

This is a great location, near Bressi Ranch and Palomar Airport. It seems a lot of local business people come for lunch here, so might want to make a reservation if you want a specific outside area. The night light for us was the juicy burgers that were prepared well, and the fries delicious. I also ordered a peach sangria, so refreshing for a hot afternoon. Our server Haley was super helpful with the menu, and made some good suggestions for us. We will try it again for dinner, as the Salmon dinner looked like something to try. If you love beer, they have a huge selection to choose from. Fun spot, we loved it. read more

The food is quite amazing. The 28-day bone marrow burger is by far the most amazing thing I've consumed. The drink menu is delightful they have some delicious non-alcoholic drinks as well. Highly recommend read more

Great ambience and patio setting. There is a large fire pit you can sit by and grass area for kids to play so you can enjoy a meal in peace! I got the wings and Mac and cheese bites. Both were delicious but the Mac and cheese was so creamy and delicious!! My family enjoyed their meals as well! I've shared pictures. read more
