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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Love this spot! My girlfriend and I met up here for a quick lunch and shared the fig burger. Ambience was great, we sat outdoors, they have a play area for kids, great outdoor spot if your pet is chilling. Service was quick and great waiter/s. read more

Went with our daughter & grandsons on a Thursday night. It was busy & took about 10 minutes for the table to open up. Had a bowl of water & dog treats for our 10-month old puppy. Ordered Mac & cheese balls as a starter - the kids loved them. They also brought out carrot sticks & orange wedges for kids while we waited. My daughter & I had Fresno Fig burger with goat cheese & fig preserves. Mine was on GF bun which was good for GF. Didn't fall apart like some. The onion rings I ordered with mine were delicious & I'd definitely order again. My husband got a chicken sandwich with tater tots. Boys got child's Mac & cheese which were generous bowls of food. Also ordered a pup burger for the puppy - plain meat patty which she loved.Overall a great dining experience. I'm sure we'll be back. 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

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

Ambiance was really nice. Away from the crowds, easy parking, and friendly staff. The Caesar salad with chicken on it could have been much more flavorful. The chicken was very Bland and the Caesar salad dressing had little flavor. That being said they're hamburgers were incredible. He's happy hour Burger which is on their normal menu with nice and thick and flavorful. I wish I had gotten that. Burger was $13 during the happy hour and I believe the salad was around 19 to $20. Kids mac and cheese was small but their kids cheeseburger came with fries and was sufficient size. The kids meals did come with drinks which was a plus. The one thing I didn't like was the payment at the table with only three options for tips starting at elevated values vs historical tip ranges. 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

First thing we asked our server Kate, when is this place was open to business? Six years already, and we didn't know about it? Nice place, with both inside and outside seating (dog friendly outside), the food is good, we ordered Al Pastor Fish Tacos with house salad (we didn't know that it's extra $3). One smart move, we asked to bring the source (which was claimed not to be spicy) on the side. It was really spicy for our taste. My boss ordered her favorite cheese burger, called American and she loved it, also with house salad. Our server Kate got a really cheerful disposition, she was a pleasure to deal with. I think we were even visited once by a manager , asking about service and food. My NJ son and daughter-in-law were really impressed with this place, welcome back to California! One more thing to improve - the chairs around the tables are extremely uncomfortable to sit on. read more

Was looking for dinner after Legoland and just happened to stumble across this place which ended up being pretty decent! I don't think it entirely screamed kid-friendly, but it was enough for our 3 year old to hang out... we ordered a kids mac and cheese, fish and chips and a double smash burger... all of which were delish! The fish had a light crisp to them which is always what I'm looking for... service was average for a not so busy evening, but not horrible... Overall, I left satisfied and it didn't break the bank... just wish they would've had a little froyo shop or something in the area to really finish off the center read more

Our waitress Karishma was super friendly and very knowledgeable when it came to the menu, she offered some yummy recommendations that didn't disappoint us. All our burgers came out juicy and surpassed our expectations. We sometimes tend to forget how many different takes/styles one can do with a burger. The creative minds at Eureka don't disappoint at all. The restaurant is quite spacious, dog and family friendly, something that is refreshing and much appreciated. Although, I appreciate the unique and creativity behind the menu it wasn't my personal taste hence why I can't give it the full five starts . However, I still highly recommend especially if you are a hamburger lover, for vegetarians, there was a beet patty. They also have an impressive beer selection. read more

The place is Wally nice looking both inside and out. It has a fire pit ordeal so you can sit outside and even bring your pups. The staff all were super nice, especially our waitress. The manager also stopped by our table to ensure everything was ok. I got the bison burger which was good, but undercooked from the medium I asked it to be. I also shared some of my friends fig burger, which was oooh soo good. I definitely recommend that one for sure. The fries were also very tasty. read more

Used to eat here with the family all the time. It was the spot where everyone could get their fix. As a vegetarian, mine was the beet burger. It was the best veggie burger in north county. Sadly they took it off the menu. The veggie burger they have is Ok but doesn't come close. We haven't been back much since the menu changes. Hoping they realize what a draw the beet burger is. read more

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

Sometimes, though not often, I develop a craving for American food. As someone with an unashamedly Asian palette, I have pages and pages of thoughts on the firmness of sushi rice, the texture of noodles, or the complexity of chili oil. You need look no further than my yelp reviews for proof. I have far fewer thoughts about American food, so when the craving hits, I tend to just look for a menu that appeals to me. I came to Eureka after visiting the Flower Fields, absolutely starving and craving some fries and burgers. On this, Eureka definitely delivered! We came around 2PM so the restaurant was not very crowded. Eureka looks like the sort of place that caters to nearby office workers, with a great happy hour selection, sports on the TVs, and clean, wooden decor. Service was prompt and our server was attentive and chill. We opted for outdoor seating, and the fireplace and heaters cut through the chill. My party got the bison and fig burgers, both medium, as well as the cinnamon honey sweet potato fries. The sweet potato fries arrived first, and they were definitely a dessert kind of fry. Exceedingly crispy, and drenched in honey. They were like a crispy, finger-food version of sweet potato casserole and very fun to eat. I have no idea how they got the fries so crispy and structurally sound, as my own attempts at sweet potato fries at home always end up rather sad and limp. Our burgers arrived next. Each burger came with a side of fries and ketchup. The bison burger was tender, with a surprisingly spicy roast pepper, caramelized onions, and some kind of sweet, jammy relish on top. I've seen ground bison on sale at Costco and have always been slightly intrigued about its taste. It was good, but I did not taste much of a difference from regular beef. The fig and goat cheese burger was excellent. The soft, gamey goat cheese, sweet fig preserve, and peppery arugula made each bite an adventure. Paired with the juicy patty and crisp bacon, this was a very memorable burger! The fries were crispy and fresh, with a soft and mealy interior. You can't go wrong with that! The only thing I wished was different was the bread. It didn't taste quite as fresh or as toasted as I would have liked. This is entirely down to personal preference, but I think I like buns with a bit more body and chew. I enjoyed eating at Eureka, I think I'll definitely keep it in my back pocket for the next time that I have the specific craving of American food that isn't fast food. Glad to see that there are other locations closer to me as well! read more

I am updating my review after reading the customer service response. Bottom line though is they just need to NOT collect payment this way. Until they change that I will continue to stand by the one star review. Hovering over you while you pay on the little machine is simply not acceptable. read more

Stopped in after looking on Yelp because we were in the area and wanted to try something new. The location is a little hidden off the street in a modern complex with other eateries. We tried the cauliflower bites, Mac and Cheese Balls, and the Double Smash. Wow! Both were so yummy! I was a little surprised my husband loved the cauliflower bites because they're topped with bonito and he's a picky eater but opted to just roll with how they're supposed to be served. Good thing I did cuz he loved them and could have easily eaten the entire order himself. The Double Smash was next level yummy! The bun is so soft and buttery and the meat is so delicious full of umami. The menu says they feed their cows carrots so I had to try the beef. It was so good, we ordered one to go as well LOL. For the to go one, we paired it with the Mac and Cheese Balls instead of fries. Yum! They had a slight heat to them. We were greeted immediately and seated soon after. The restaurant is modern but in a warm inviting way. They have outdoor seating with a cool fireplace. Our server was friendly and shared her faves from each section which was helpful since it was our first time. She knew we weren't in a rush so it was nice that she gave us time to decide and not bug us constantly asking if we were ready. This place is a little far but the food, service, and vibe will have us coming back. read more
