I've been wanting to visit a Eureka for so long and I'm sad I ever waited. The happy hour Brussels sprouts and nachos were out of this world. Aaron was great. We didn't have to wait long for anything and he was super friendly from the beginning. This is definitely going to be my new happy hour spot. read more

They have a great veggie burger, service seems to be good whenever I am their. I'm lot a meat eater anymore, but when I was at had one of Their burgers and it was great. read more

Had a really bad experience at Eureka a couple of weeks ago. I was pretty sure I was never ever going to return to the location however my concerns were addressed by the managers Lindsay and Kevin. I love eureka love the food love the staff (except one supervisor) :-) it'd been the best spot for our friends and family to meet up at. Thanks to the response and outreach from management I will continue to come back to eureka. read more

Extremely average. The onion rings had no taste to them and required a ton of sauce to make them appealing, however the BBQ and ranch couldn't beat McDonalds. read more

I love Eureka and go here all the time but try and only go for lunch or early dinner because waiting for a table at night can be close to two hours on a weekend. My favorite burger is the Fig Marmalade Burger, Absolutely to die for! Their buns are amazing but I often opt for a naked burger instead which comes with lettuce tossed in a light dressing. On the side you have the option of fries, sweet potato fries, onion rings or salad. I get salad with blue cheese dressing. Very yummy! And they have Telegraph California Ale on tap, my favorite! Also, those of you who like to add hot sauce to everything, they have an amazing sauce they put on their wings and it is awesome on burgers/fries. Oh! They are also pet friendly! You can bring your dog on the patio. read more

Decent place to grab a burger for lunch - good selection of beers on tap - i've been told that they do whisky tastings too!

My first visit was not pleasant. The customer service at the bar was non-existent and my review reflected that. I actually never ordered, since they never recognized my existence. I just went back this week with a group of 7 people. This time the customer service was much better. I'll let the reader draw his/her conclusions as to why that might be. The beer (I had the smoked Porter), nachos and classic burger were all tasty and I recommend them. Their sweet potato fried were blah. As with most restaurants staffed by college students, the service will be erratic. My experiences and overall rating for this restaurant reflect this. read more

Love this place. Truffle fries are amazing so is most of their burgers. Our waitress Amy was super sweet and very prompt!

Loved this place - went after a concert and was the perfect way to end the night - great food and great ambiance - But I'm giving this place 5 stars because of our server - Edrick - rather than just take our order and move on - he was engaging and entertaining and made our dinner more enjoyable - after our order he recommended the ribblets - I was a little unsure at first, but these things were amazing. make sure to save room for desert and get the Rum Pudding was just amazing!!! - read more

I love eureka for its delicious burgers, awesome beer selection, and late hours. But there's a little bit of false advertising at work when they say $2 off "all" draft beers during happy hour ... And it doesn't include the 15 or so draft beers listed on the chalkboard. Anyway, I'll be back, but $10 for a pint of beer is pretty ridiculous and makes me reconsider read more

Guessing they might be a corporate entity. Has that feel. Food was pretty unoriginal. Had the nachos and shrimp tacos. Decent happy hour prices. They like TV's. read more

What a great burger place! Been hearing a lot of compliments and decided to go for a Thursday date night. Terrific ambience, great food, great server (Thanks Sarah!) Got the Fig Burger and Bone Marrow Burger with the Truffle Oil Fries which was absolutely delicious. Definitely coming back for a drink and to watch the rest of the Playoffs! read more

Came in with a group of guys and got hammered ! Our bartender Tanner was hilarious, cracking jokes left and right. Easily the number one place to grab some drinks in SB. I highly recommend !! read more

Great staple in Santa Barbara. The bison burger is my favorite and their old fashions are killer!

SUCH AN IMPROVEMENT. Previously the service was horrible and slow but that's no longer true! The food is amazing and now the service reflects that too read more

I had great experience at this restaurant...I would recommend this restaurant. The service was very good. Our waitress, "Ally" is an adorable server, very personable and very efficient. Our food was very good, price was fair. The restaurant itself is great and along with a lovely . I recommend it. read more

After a spell of contact with the Manager, he quickly addressed my concerns and went out of his way to apologize for my experience; such consideration greatly improved my overall experience. Like I said, I would've been fine if it wasn't for that last interaction. Instead of waiting a year or so, I'll most likely go back very soon and give it another try. I'll update this review again after that experience and I really hope it's a good one. read more

I love the gourmet burgers and diverse selection of craft beers and whiskey that allow for endless pairing combinations.

Love this place. Come here often and had only one single bad experience with a server who was covering a lunch break. Mentioned it to our server Bri once she came back from her break and she took care of everything! Food is awesome. Drinks are awesome. Staff are awesome! read more

definitely one of the best beer selections in town. loads of craft beers that are often changing around. great food too...but really i go for the beer! read more

Came here with a party of 14 on a Thursday night. The restaurant is pretty small, so we had a friend who was downtown put down our names at 5:30, and then we headed over at 7:30. We didn't end up being seated until 8:30, so definitely make sure you put in your name early for a large party! I think you put in your name and then they text you when your table is available. It happened that they only had one area set up for large parties, and I guess a few people from the party before us were still seated even though most of the group had left. The waitresses kept thinking that the people left would finish their drinks quickly and head out, but after waiting for an hour at the restaurant, the waitresses finally asked the 4 people remaining at the table if they could move them to a smaller area so our group could sit down. The party before definitely didn't realize there was another group waiting for the large table, so they were really nice about leaving. It wasn't their fault or the waitresses fault, so we really had no complaints about that! It would have been nice if there was more room at the bar though because it was packed and we ended up just waiting outside even though it was pretty chilly. Once we were seated, the service was super fast and we all got our food really quickly. I got the shredded chicken tacos. They were really good, but the jalapeño made them pretty spicy. I definitely cannot handle spiciness, so I think next time I would order the tacos minus the jalapeños. Also when it says it includes avocado, it was basically only one slice per taco which was kind of a bummer. But besides that the tacos were really good! Other dishes our table ordered included the nachos. The nachos were huge and a bunch of people at our table got them and split them. If you wait for Happy Hour at 9 then they are cheaper. The beers are cheap as is, with some of them only $3 even when Happy Hour wasn't happening. The girl next to me got a cobb salad which looked really delicious, and the guy next to me raved about how much he liked his Jalapeño Egg burger. I like that you can substitute any patty with a veggie or turkey patty. We had a couple of vegetarians in our party so I was a little worried when I heard we were going to a burger place. But once I saw the menu I realized they had a ton of options for everyone. The staff was really friendly and they brought out a Sundae for my friend's birthday. There was also a really great live singer, and we really enjoyed her song choices. I really liked the atmosphere and would definitely come again, I just wish the restaurant was larger since it was so crowded! read more

This place was really good ! We came here on Saturday after the beer festival. My 3 friends and I all got burgers it for sure hit the spot. As for our server I'm not sure what his problem was. It seemed like it was hard for him to be personable and actually care. But whatever the food was good. read more

There nachos are to die for! Everything else was good too. For the prices the place is great.

I like the nachos, the drinks are creative but expensive. It has a nice ambiance overall. The only annoying thing is people sitting at this little bar thing behind people sitting at the actual bar making it IMPOSSIBLE to walk through without scraping up against 50 people. It's supposed to be a walkway, but there's only about a 5 inch clearance. Meh. read more

Yummy mussels! Just barely made it for happy hour...very glad to have chosen Eureka! Next time I'm in Santa Barbara I will visit and recommend to others! Reitetating: mussels in broth with pancetta were delicious...the bread to dip in the broth was tasty; only suggestion--the fish tacos needed crema. Our server was great! Very personable. Also we were served quickly! read more

Solid food, great service, fast wi-fi. Open later than most places, very accommodating!

Such great food, the servers were swamped during the NBA playoffs and the manager, I believe his name was Matt or John, handsome man in his mid 30s or so, the service he gave was outstanding. I get the wings and truffle fries every time. The bone marrow burger is a treat. The cowboy is a timeless classic that hits every time. My girlfriend of two years and I had out first date here and since we've returned countless times. read more

Had to wait a little in order to get a table for 8 but it was worth the wait. Jordan, our server brought us drinks and our food promptly while making sure my water was always topped off. Definitely try to get her. read more

Great food and atmosphere. Excellent Bloody Mary and Falafel bites, both on the happy hour on the weekend. Highly recommend.

Eurka is the place to be. Poppin every night, great food and fantastic drinks, make sure to stop by on a night when Chris and or Tyler are working at the bar, they both make a mean drink and are incredibly friendly. Ask for lemonade in the FIG hoppy poppy to make it a rattler, you will not be disappointed. read more

My daughter and I spent the day shopping at El Paseo and walked past this little restaurant with these awesome looking burgers. She wanted to try it so we came back for dinner. It was pretty crowded at 6, but we got seated quickly. We had a fantastic, helpful, smily waitress named Bri who was wonderfully attentive. She suggested the Fig Marmalade and goat cheese burger which turned out to be one of the best burgers I have ever eaten! I ordered it as raw as they could cook it and it came out perfect. Juicy and flavorful and heavenly delicious. The brioche bread they served it on is perfect for burgers- crunchy and firm enough to hold it but soft on the inside. Perfect! I had the fancy mixed green side salad which was tasty, but a little oniony. Apples or pears would add a tastier crunch. I would leave out the onions unless warned. Don't want to have onion breath! And the balsamic was a bit tangy-needed a little more sweetness, but a terrific option as a side! Bri also recommended the batter green beans which even my picky teenage daughter tried and loved! The dipping sauce was delish but they could have been a little more generous with the portion size. She ordered the plain cheese burger which she loved as well, but I agree that the fries were non de-script, kind of soggy and a little cold. She even left them! Hot thick steak fries would be better bites. The beer selection was vast and the $3 IPA looked tempting but I'm not an IPA fan- like lighter beers so Bri suggested the Mission Blond which was tasty. Prices were a bit high for college kids but not out of line with other bistros and worth it! . $9.50 plain- $11.50 Fig marmalade burger- $7.95 for the green beans. The dessert menu was limited to 2 items, so picky daughter opted out of her usual sweet ending. But they looked worth trying. It was crowded and loud, but to be expected on a rainy Saturday night. Service` excellent and fantastic food and beer selection. Called hubby in LA to tell him about a new place he and my son would love. Even have sports tv! Eureka was a gem to find and certainly will be back with the rest of the family next time in Santa Barbara. Eager to try more! Hope our sweetheart waitress is still there! You were awesome Bri! read more

My husband and I go to this place for the good beer and the Fig Goat Cheese Burger. Anytime we try another burger, we regret it. The other burgers are average, but the Fig and Goat Cheese is 5 stars!! Also, it is very busy, but the service is good. read more

Love the yelp coupon. All of our food was delicious and servers were so attentive. I loved the napa burger, the tacos on appetizer menu and the beer during happy hour is a great price and tasty! read more

Beer is great. Burgers are great. A good meal to eat before a movie downtown. Only complaints I would have that the store is a bit too crowded, but really, with food this good and beer to match why would it not be. read more

Everything was great EXCEPT the host girls that work the front desk. Not as warm and friendly as I would like. I felt the cold shoulder for sure. The rest of the experience was great though. Food was awesome. Decor. Sports on the TV. Atmosphere. ----------- (Update, 2 weeks post visit) Christina from customer service wrote me back and that says a lot about her and Eureka, at least in my book. I already liked the experience at 4 stars prior. Reserving the perfect 5-star score until my next visit. It's still a great place for food and fun in downtown SB. I'd still recommend it! read more

The service is marginal, honestly it's hard to tell who is taking care of you because you order from one person then some person brings you your drink someone else your food and then another your check. The food is good bar food not bad but not amazing. The wine pour is the worst! The waitress said 7 ounces the manager said 6 ounces I'm saying 4 at best! Anyway I'm not saying don't go I'm just saying it's not that great read more

The beers and spirits are good along with the fries and onion rings. The customer service lacks, takes forever to get condiments, if they ever arrive. Beyond that not much else worth trying. I don't recommend to friends or out of towners. read more

Tried the jalepeño egg burger and the chicken wings. Food was decent, nothing too special. The service was ok as well. I do feel that this place is a bit overrated. Just an average sports bar. Overpriced if you ask me. read more

Totally the best Happy Hour in SB! Loved my bartender Monica Monday! She recommend the best beer to pair with my dinner! She changed me from a vine lover to a grain loving romance! Friendly, fun, informative crew to make you feel like you're family! The "Cheers" of SB!! read more
