    NOPE- You won't find peacock on Eureka's menu but the rib-sticking food and friendly service'll make you feel like one!
    Scott W.

    In the mid 19th century, dungaree and flannel adorned miners putatively hollered "Eureka" when they'd successfully unearthed a precious, gleaming gold nugget from California's river beds. 170 yrs later, your flannel and Dockers adorned fave Yelp correspondent felt like bellowing "Eureka" after he'd demolished the Double-Smash Burger w/ Beer Breaded Onion Rings combo he'd ordered takeout from Eureka. Both the restaurant and this combo are EXQUISITELY named! Claremont's buzziest Friday night go-to spot most assuredly strikes the bullseye for anyone craving well made, bespoke men's food and lawd almighty, did this combo exemplify the "smash" in its name!!! I'd discovered Eureka a wk ago as part of my wee gig work- This retired Fortune 100 exec now is perfectly content to ferry a half dozen meals/most nights. Over the course of delivering a trio of orders from the Claremont Eureka, I was transfixed both by the vibrant tempo of the restaurant paired with the friendly, welcoming demeanor of their staff. Not always the easiest choice when your lobby is SRO (Standing Rm Only) and the noise palpitates like a wave! I brought my combo home, gently reheated it and lemme tellya: There were zero "tossaways" here. Most takeout orders, I'm chucking some aspect of it- Perhaps maudlin pickles or the weepy tomato that damn near deluged my bottom bun into a veritable sponge or the month old ranch... Not here!!! My pickles (!!!) were crisp, super garlickly and looked like they'd been freshly pickled. Zero annoying tomato to rain on my bun! The dijonnaise served as an accompaniment to my onion rings was a garlickly super hero, transporting goid onion rings to GREAT! The double smash was served on a fat, glistening brioche bun that beckoned me damn near as well as my wife's wondrous backside still does, thirty yrs later! You can tell the care and thoughtfulness that the Eureka executive chef has brought to forming their menu!! My long-winded but dammit-its-descriptive way of saying- "This was an authentic 5-star meal and I can't wait to return!"

    Al Pastor Fish Tacos served with a side of fries. Eureka offers a special $13 luch menu. What a deal!

    I have now been to Eureka two times and I know I will be back. Let's start with the service. On both occasions, the host/hostesses have been very friendly. We were greeted and shown to our table. This last time we asked to sit in patio. We asked for a specific area and they accommodated the request by moving tables together for our group. The servers were very knowledgable. They made recommendations and answered our many questions. Whether you sit inside or out, the tables are placed far apart enough to afford each group some space & privacy. The food is top tier. We have ordered beverages, appetizers, entrees, and dessert. Regardless of what we had, everything was delicious. My all time favorite were the Crispy Glazed Brussel Sprouts. I recommend you try them out. Looking forward to my next visit.

    Super busy night leading to our server being over sat. He was excellent and this review is solely on the food. Disappointed in my meal tonight. I didn't feel like sending my food back especially after not eating all day and waiting extra long to be sat & get service. The jalapeño jam burger has zero spice & it was too sweet..I wouldn't order it again. I have not been to a Eureka in several years and this experience confirmed that I won't be back..

    Ahi Poke Stack and Wings
    Corina L.

    Food was absolutely delicious! Had wings and poke as starters and let me tell you. I will come back solely for the poke, it was incredible! I also had the seared salmon and it was so good. The plates have great portions, I'm literally so excited to eat my food again later today!

    Spa day margarita and Mac N' Cheese Balls
    Melanie B.

    This is one of my favorite local go-to's! For this visit, I tried the Spa Day Margarita. I didn't expect it to be quite as sweet lol, but I still enjoyed it. I'll probably try a different drink next time though. As for the Mac N Cheese Balls, they did not disappoint!! The ranch here is the perfect dip! I always get a little sad when they're gone too fast haha Even though the restaurant was busy, we were seated pretty quickly and our food arrived faster than expected. Definitely a fun and satisfying visit for girls night :)

    This place is located inside the Claremont packing house. Nice old style place with a decent sized patio. Staff is always really polite and service is consistent. The food is made pretty good and is priced fair. Always a good time with I drop in for a bite.

    Eureka is a staple in Claremont! From delicious appetizers to great burgers and amazing craft cocktails and beer, the food is top notch! It's located in the packing house and has indoor and outdoor seating. It stays open late and has great food and drink specials during certain days of the week including happy hour. The place is great for a date night or a brunch with friends. I recently had the burger and cocktail of the month and both were delicious. The smash burger is always a hit! They also offer deals if you sign up for their free app. The service is always quick and the servers are friendly. Yvette was our server this past visit and she was had great menu recommendations for food and drinks. We will definitely be back!

    My coworker got a reservation for 5:30 last night for 12 of us to celebrate one birthday and one going away of a colleague. We don't see each other regularly, so it was a fun little reunion. It was happy hour, so we shared deep fried pickles, truffle fries, and Mac n cheese balls for the table. I ordered an old fashioned and Eureka burger with salad from the happy hour menu. We stayed for 3 and a half hours, catching up and laughing a lot. The staff was super friendly, attentive, and helpful. They never rushed us to leave at all. We enjoyed sitting outside with the plentiful overhead heating lamps keeping us cozy.

    Campfire cocktail
    Francesca D.

    I really loved this place! Wish it was closer to home lol. It's a small inside dining with heated patio. Thankfully we had a reservation and only had to wait a little. It was pretty busy! We opted for getting seated right away aka patio which was fine but it was soooooo cold. While the heaters were all over the patio, the positioning of them (at least at our table) made it so not everyone could feel it. Thankfully the table next to us left and it wasn't seated again so we turned that one towards us and felt so much better. Menu isn't extensive and it's full of things that sounded amazing. We started with the brussle sprouts. They were SOOOOOOOOO good. I would have eaten a whole vat of them. Cocktails were super amazing! The presentation for the campfire cocktail was A+. Food over all was great. Service was friendly and working hard. A great spot!

    Lots of people have recommended this place and they are sure right about it. First, the place is very hip and rustic looking!!! i love their wagyu with bone marrow burger was to die for. The fattiness of the marrow made it so juicy. Fries were so crispy. Service was great even late night, they were all very attentive. Will def be back to try out more food!!!

    Fried Pickles
    Harry P.

    First of all my waiter, her name so cool! her service even better! What an absolute diva. Now the important part. the F.O.O.D. (freaking out over dinner). I got the Eureka burger and split it with my friend. 10/10! Plus fried pickles, even better. Also got a fun spicy watermelon drink that tasted GREAT. Overall this place is warm and welcoming and so are their burgers. Would come again!

    Hoppy Hour beer! Bottle logic light lager and old stump red ale both so bomb!
    Rae Ann D.

    Monday Hoppy hour, we were served right away! Vibe was chill bc it was slow but they still had tables/other guests. The place was clean and hipster for sure. The food was hands down so good! The fried pickles were crispy and delicious (my favorite) the nachos were perfect through too, one of the sauce has a bit of sweetness but the chopped peppers on top were amazing! Ryan was our bartender and he was very friendly and suggested other places for happy hour too, but we think Eureka still has the best one!

    Ask the Community - Eureka!

    Have they changed their menu drastically or something? I used to get cheddar instead of American cheese because I’m lactose intolerant and it’s literally the only cheese I can eat. If that’s the case, then I don’t see the point in coming anymore.

    They just changed which burgers are available. I'm pretty sure cheese options are all still there for the regular burger.

    Gluten free bread?

    Yes

    Do the phones not work at this location ive tried calling all day? Im calling to ask if they have my sunglasses i lost the day i ate there this weekend .

    Not too sure! But if you're calling about reservations you can make them on an app called open table.

    What time is last call?

    Usually like 11:30p on weeknights when they close at 12.

    Do they still serve sweet potato fries?

    Yes

    Do u take reservations? We have person in our group that can't wait long?

    Nope. Just walk ins as far as I know. You could always send one member of your group to put your name in and have the rest of the group join when the able is ready.

    Do they take reservations?

    No, just walk-ins. If you have a larger group, send someone in about 30 min before time slot you want to sit down for :)

    How is the bone marrow?

    I had the bone marrow burger last night... I thought it was marvelous! I highly recommend it!

    Does this place still offer the chili bean soup? I saw someone post it from 3 years ago. Hoping they still have it!

    The other answer is incorrect. There is a TV behind the bar if you'd like to watch the game.

    Can I make a reservation for Wednesday?

    They don't take reservations

They've got indoor and outdoor seating and they seemed a touch understaffed for being a beautiful day. It was also a Tuesday lunchtime so maybe they weren't expecting it to be as busy as it was. We were able to prove the menu before we got seated. And our super friendly server came out and we were able to order right away. They've got a lunch special. That is a small personal pizza with a salad and we each got that. Salads came out first and I had the arugula salad, which was absolutely phenomenal. 10 of 10 would eat this every single day. The arugula was peppery and it was well dressed in a lemon vinaigrette type sauce. I am a fan of just plain lemon on mine, but this was delicious. My husband got a union salad, which is their specialty I guess. It's got colored carrots and some beets and some shallots. I thought the dressing was bland and it certainly needed salt and pepper. We asked for both and didn't get either. Our pieces came out and they were nice and woodfired. I feel like they could've been done just a little bit longer maybe a minute or two. The sauce was a lovely fresh type crushed tomato sauce. The cheese was nice and gooey and did not feel or taste like a package of processed cheese. Pepperonis were greasy, but in a real meat kind of way. I had to dab mine, but my husband just went to town on his. The pickled peppers is a pickled jalapeño. Big chunks of them. They certainly didn't skimp on any of the toppings. They were a little sweet and a little hot. Some of the big chunks were a little too sweet for my liking but overall, it was a nice flavor mix Also from a size standpoint, I thought the salad and pizza were very adequate for lunch at around $20 price point I asked for salt and pepper again as well as a side of ranch. This time we did get the salt and pepper as well as cheese and crushed red pepper. But we didn't get the ranch until we were leaving. The server did apologize and said he thought someone else was bringing it out but I pretty much deducted a star because we asked for a couple different things that never came. Overall, the service was super friendly, the ambience was nice for an outdoor lunch thought. I thought the menu looked delicious and there were several things I would like to come back and try and I would go back again.

It was so underwhelming. 2 eggs cooked differently, one over hard, one over easy, 5-6 potato pieces and the steak was thin, overcooked, and appeared to be a cheap cut of meat. A New York cut would have been great. Wife mentioned norms has better steak and eggs. Called and spoke with a manager Stephanie, not looking for anything, but to express disappointment in the meal for the high price. She offered to mail a gift card for us and invited us back. Took all of my information and never received it. Thanks anyway. Don't think we'll be back.

We came on a weekend and it was super busy (as it should be honestly with how amazing the food and service are). We got the blackened salmon with penne pasta and baby potatoes, and the flat iron steak with bow tie pasta and herb brown rice. The steak was cooked perfectly medium. The bow tie pasta is served cold and has a vinegary flavor to it, definitely a distinct taste, but I personally loved it because I enjoy sour/vinegary flavors. I can see why it might not be everyone's favorite though, but I personally really enjoyed it. The salmon was also super flavorful and cooked perfectly. Same with the penne pasta and potatoes. Honestly everything was just made really well and good. For the sauce, we got their popular jalapeno garlic sauce and it paired well with absolutely everything.
