Before heading to a concert last night, we knew we had to grab some food first. We checked for a place close to the stadium and ended up at Eureka! -- SCORE! The atmosphere was lively and energetic, and the restaurant easily accommodates both large and small parties. They offer indoor and outdoor seating, a full bar, and the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. I had the Wild Child, their take on a spicy margarita, and whew... that tequila had my senses tingling! It was GOOD! For dinner, I ordered the Seared Salmon, served with green beans and crispy potatoes -- PERFECTION! The salmon was beautifully seared with that delicious crispy exterior and topped with a lemon butter sauce. Every bite was on point! I'm so happy we happened upon this place. What started as a quick search for somewhere convenient before the concert turned into a fantastic find. I'll definitely be back! read more

Met a few co-workers here for drinks and a bite, and it ended up being a great choice. The outdoor patio has a really fun, relaxed vibe that made it easy to hang out and catch up after work. Service was very friendly and attentive without ever feeling overbearing, and our drinks and food came out in good time. I really appreciated that the mocktails were just as tasty and thoughtfully made as regular cocktails, which is not always the case at bars and restaurants. For appetizers, we shared the Fried Pickles and the Mac N' Cheese Balls, both of which were crispy, yummy, and perfect for snacking with drinks. I ordered the Spicy Fried Chicken Sandwich as my main and it was delicious great crunch on the chicken, good heat, and still juicy inside. The only thing to keep in mind is that this place gets very busy, especially during peak hours, so I'd definitely recommend making a reservation if you're planning to come with a group. Overall, it's an awesome spot for casual drinks, cocktail/mocktails, and shareable bites, and I'd happily come back. read more

We only came here for drinks / happy hour and we wished we were hungry enough for dinner! Everything from service to drinks to food was incredible! The spa margarita scared me at first but I was pleasantly surprised! It is super heavy on the cucumber so if you don't like that, this drink may not be for you. The brussels sprouts were amazing - holy cow! The orange glaze with the chimchurri was a crazy combo that worked fantastically. The fries were crispy but didn't have much seasoning. Definitely stop in if you're in the area - you won't be disappointed! read more

Was looking for a date night spot when this place came up on my radar, and it definitely piqued my interest. We started off with the mac and cheese balls, which, let me tell you, were delicious. Off to a great start with high hopes! I ordered the barbecue bacon burger with their upgraded "Wagyu patty," and my girlfriend got the American burger. Unfortunately, the burgers were a bit disappointing and lacked flavor. They were just okay. I've definitely had better burgers for half the price. The service, however, was amazing. Our server did a great job, and the overall vibes were nice definitely a little more upscale and perfect for a date night. I'm not sure if I'll be back, but overall, it was a good experience. read more

We found this restaurant close to the Marriott and it had great reviews & photos. We gave it a try and everything was outstanding! Kelsey was our server and she was on point! Very friendly, timely, and nice. Our food was all really great, no complaints! The steak frites, the Phillycheese steak & the double smashed burger were really, really great. I highly recommend it. The vibe and music is also great and prices are not bad at all read more

Michael is a wonderful waitress, friendly, welcoming, and incredibly patient. She took the time to explain everything on the menu and helped us decide what to order when we were unsure. :) We had a great experience during Happy Hour, which was honestly unexpected because our first visit last year was a little disappointing. Thankfully, we decided to give this place a second chance, and we're so glad we did. The food was tasty and delicious, and the service was fast as well. We will definitely be coming back! read more

Ordered the wagyu bone marrow burger medium rare. Came out medium well. Not a great start. The burger itself was just ok. The burger came out with a too large slice of red onion, a skimpy and cooked tiny tomatoe slice, and a too small amount of some garlic mayo sauce. I'm going to guess the cook just didn't care with my order. There weren't more than 4 tables of patrons.... so the cook(s) weren't busy. The fries were above average. The house made soda and tea were good. Service was good. The place was nice overall. I would go back to have a drink. They have a nice looking alcohol menu. read more

We came here today with friends for lunch. We had friends visiting San Jose and thought that this location was perfect since it was so close to the 101 fwy. I made reservations and requested a booth for the four of us. When we arrived we were warmly welcomed. I let the young man at the front know about our reservation and he took us to a nice booth and gave us menus. This is a very nice location. It's nice inside and they do offer outdoor seating. We placed our order and had a fun time catching up with our friends. Our food came out 30 minutes later. The waitress warned us not to tough the plates because of how hot they were. Everyone enjoyed their food. One of our friends order the Eureka American burger. The rest of us ordered the Napa chicken sandwich. The only issue I had was the side I picked with my sandwich. I ordered the Caesar side salad and they put it on that piping hot plate with my sandwich. The salad got hot and wilted and did not taste good at all. They should have put it on a separate chilled plate. I didn't complain to the waitress because I wanted to concentrate on my friends. So I just didn't eat the salad. Next time I will not order the Caesar salad. Other than that, everything was great. My friend had never had truffle fries before so she was excited to try them. She really loved them. Next time I will try a different side with my sandwich or burger. read more

Okay so this was my time at a Eureka. The ambiance is really nice, both inside and outside! And the outside is dog friendly. Service was great! We were seated quickly on a busy Thursday night. My girlfriend and I came just for drinks and dessert. I tried the lavender tea and it was delicious, not too sweet and fresh! We also shared the cheesecake which was divine. I'll be back! read more

Loved going to Eureka Santa Clara. I've been to their other locations but this was my first time in the Augustine Drive location. I was a meeting a friend for drinks and dinner. The Wild Child cocktails were superb and the tofu protein bowl hit the spot. Eureka had a good happy hour menu and on Tuesdays they offer 50% off wines. The waiters are attentive and helpful. The tofu protein bowl was amazing and worth the price. The space is inviting and great for meeting friends after work. The complex is packed so I would go there before parking gets full. read more

Eureka is the spot for a nice burger. Pair it with a cocktail or beer and you have the perfect meal. We came on Friday night at 7pm and waited for a few minutes.

Came in on a Wednesday at 4 pm for happy hour. The parking lot and the restaurant were both fairly empty. By 6 pm both were full, so if you want to avoid the crowds come early. The ambience of the restaurant was cozy and warm. It wasn't this cavernous sized restaurant so it wasn't noisy at all, while feeling comfortable. The place was clean and the furnishings were trendy and in good shape. It's definitely a nice place to hang out with friends and coworkers. Food and beer was pretty good; what you should expect from a chain restaurant. Service was excellent as the staff came by frequently to check on us and to fill our waters. I would definitely come back here again as this Eureka gives off a nicer vibe than other comparable chain restaurants in the area. read more

Due to a horrible service at another restaurant, we had to scramble last minute to find a restaurant for 9ppl tonight and luckily EUREKA totally accommodated us. A few of us arrived just at the end of happy hour so we had a few drinks before the rest arrived. We were seated with menu in hand. Service was amazing. Attentive. Drinks were nice!!!! Yummmm Great restaurant with inside and outside seatings. We got a nice table inside for our group and enjoyed a bunch of plates/dishes that we shared. Toni, the general manager, was terrific. Already assisting us with a last minute reservation and she came by to check on us a few times. We enjoyed a nice evening after all read more

Went for the happy hour deal on weekday. The food was mediocre, we had Mac cheese balls, nacho cheese, burger, fried pickle and truffle fries.

they got rid of my default order of ribs (before this, they got rid of my default order of riblets... dang it corporate!)

I was attending a show at Levi stadium and was staying at a nearby hotel. My friends and I wanted to get a food meal in before getting ready for the evening. My friend came across this spot, and was surprised it was located around a ton of different stores and other restaurants! We did have to wait about 15 minutes on a Friday afternoon, so decided to get a drink at the bar while we waited. Im only giving 4 stars, instead of 5 because when I asked about their daily cocktail special (apple tiki at the time) the bartender attempted to tell me what was in it and didn't make an attempt to as anyone or loom anywhere for the recipe, which deterred me from ordering it. Overall the food we got was good and the servers were very polite and attentive. We ordered mac and cheese balls and i personally ordered their grilled chicken sandwich without bacon, which was very good! read more

Eureka - Mac N' Cheese Balls - American Near Me - Santa Clara, California

Been to this location many times and the food is always very consistent. My go-to foods are Mac balls (buffalo and ranch side), truffle cheese fries (sauce on the side), house salad with lemon vinaigrette (they just got rid of this though), and veggie tacos (which they also sadly got rid of). The veggie burger is always a solid option though! Nachos too! Love the drink options and happy hour here! My fave is a wild child or draft cider! We tried some new menu items last night: -pretzels (okay for me) -onion rings (decent) -grilled fish tacos (only eaten by my partner which he enjoyed) -street corn (not my fave) Service can be a little spotty but Ashley is wonderful if you get her! The manager is also very friendly! Love sitting on the couch by the fire for the chill vibes. They also always have a fun music playlist. Many vegetarian options and pet-friendly! read more

My husband was craving a burger one night and a Yelp search led us to Eureka. They're located in a plaza so there's plenty of parking and free. The atmosphere is interesting - the bar looked really nice, the place looked like a fun date night, and the music choices were kind of sporadic. The place did get busier as the night went on and while we were confused on what to classify this restaurant as, the burgers we ordered tasted delicious. Overall, the service was friendly and mostly efficient although we did ask someone for ranch at one point and never got it. The flavors of the burgers are good. read more

This Eureka! is located in a Santa Clara Square Marketplace. In the two times I've visited this place on a weekday evening, it was difficult finding parking both times. The plaza seems to have plenty of traffic and many parking spots that have time limits. When I arrived around 5pm, it wasn't crowded. However, around 6pm was when the surrounding tables filled and it would get loud. I got to try for glazed brussel sprouts and the crispy veggie beet burger $17.50. The sprouts for $11 were flavorful and well-cooked, but portion sizes weren't big. For any burgers, you can choose a side of choice. I chose the salad, and it didn't disappoint. The burger itself was underwhelming and I couldn't really taste the beet or understand how it was unique compared to other plant-based patties besides the pink color. Overall, this burger joint is sufficient for an after-work dinner with co-workers. I'd be willing to come back to try their other burgers. read more

The staff made my dad's 80th birthday perfect. I organized a casual drop-in gathering for my dad's 80th -- no private event, no deposit, just a large group coming and going over four hours. Toni worked with me over the phone to make it happen, and when there was a small miscommunication about the vibe I was going for, she course-corrected instantly -- not just in communication but in the actual setup. That kind of pivot is rare. The outside area was ideal for our group of roughly 60 throughout the day -- a mix of high tops, low tops, and couches that gave everyone somewhere to land. Heat lamps on when we needed them, off when we asked. Ellie and Shailyn were exceptional the entire time. I had to leave before I could personally thank the staff, which I regretted -- so I'm saying it here. This was exactly what I hoped it would be for my dad. Thank you, Toni, Ellie, and Shailyn. -- Anton read more

I've been here a handful of times, both in small group and larger group (~10 people) settings. What I really appreciate is that service and food quality is consistent across these experiences. Yes, prices are a tad bit higher, but nothing out of the ordinary for the area. The ambiance is nice, and the food is higher quality (e.g. burgers are "nicer" than your average burgers). I've tried many dishes from burgers, to entrees, to various appetizers. While it won't be a Michelin star level meal (nor Michelin level prices), it has always been a very solid meal, and I have left satisfied each time. Their drink selection, including beer, always satisfies the crowd as well. The primary downsides here are having to wait when it's busy and finding parking during the busy times. That being said, if the main lot is full, there is a parking lot across the street which just requires a bit more walking. read more

TL;DR 5 star for customer service I had lunch here, and overall, it was a great experience. The ambiance was nice--not too packed--and since I was dining alone, I grabbed a seat at the bar. I started with the Peach Buzz Sangria, which was a little tart but still really good, strong. For my meal, I ordered the NY strip steak medium rare, but when it arrived, it was definitely not cooked to the right temperature. These situations can be a little nerve-wracking because you want to enjoy your meal without feeling like you're inconveniencing the staff. However, I also believe that if a restaurant makes a mistake, they deserve the opportunity to fix it rather than being unfairly criticized online. So, I spoke up, and the manager came out right away. Within seconds, she confirmed that the steak wasn't medium rare and took it back to be redone. While I waited, they offered me a Caesar salad, which was a nice touch. When my new steak arrived--this time cooked perfectly to medium rare--it was absolutely delicious, especially with the bone marrow butter. What really impressed me, though, was the customer service. Not only did they correct the mistake quickly and provide a salad while I waited, but they also comped my steak, which I didn't expect at all. That level of service was beyond generous, and it made a lasting impression. So of course I tipped very generously (and yes it was a percentage on the original non-comped bill) I would 100% come back just for the outstanding customer service alone. Mistakes happen, but the way a restaurant handles them speaks volumes--and Eureka! nailed it. 10/10 experience! read more

This particular Erueka has a great ambiance--modern, a bit more upscale to match the area's vibe--and the service was absolutely on point. Friendly staff, attentive without being overbearing, and everything came out in a timely manner. I really wanted to love it here, but unfortunately, the food didn't quite live up to the rest of the experience. I was on my way back from the airport later in the weekday evening and needed a quick dinner. We had a couple of items and walked away with mixed feelings. One of the burgers came out slightly burned, which wouldn't have been as big of a deal if the BBQ sauce had more punch to it, but it was surprisingly mild. Sides for the burgers were good though: Fries were excellent and the salad was well balanced. A shame since their burger compositions were good at a different spot and I wanted a likely hit. The Brussels sprouts were a letdown though. They still had a strong bitter note and tasted like they weren't particularly fresh. The copious saucing couldn't save it. Would I come back? Maybe for drinks and fries, but I'd be hesitant to make this a dinner destination again unless the kitchen tightens things up a bit. read more

We came to Eureka on a wednesday night and were seated immediately. The service was amazing here and every single staff member was so kind. I ordered the seasonal cider which was blueberry, and my partner got a beer. On Wednesdays you can take home a special glass which we were excited about. For appetizers there are so many good options, but we chose the fried mac and cheese balls. This was the perfect comfort food but elevated. I will definitely be coming back to try some more of their shareable plates. I got the spicy fried chicken sandwich with truffle fries. The chicken was large and juicy and was the perfect amount of spicy. Truffle fries were super great as well and came with a special aioli and shaved parmesan. My partner got the double smash burger which was good as well. We will definitely be coming back here and I think it would be the perfect place for a happy hour. read more

The fig burger had a nice balance between the sweetness of the fig and the tanginess of the goat cheese. The patty was juicy, which made the burger taste even more authentic and flavorful. I also liked that there were many side options! I chose the honey cinnamon sweet potato fries -- they weren't very sweet on their own, but came with honey on the side so I could adjust the sweetness to my liking. Since I ordered takeout, the fries got a bit soft by the time I ate them, so I'd like to try them fresh at the restaurant next time! read more

Had a great dinner here on short notice tonight. Went in and got seated outdoors almost immediately vs the 40+ minute waits at Il Fornaio and Puesto. Inside was well air-conditioned, outside had a relaxed backyard ambiance with pergola screens and thick glass perimeters. Ordered the ahi poke stack, mac and cheese balls, a spicy fried chicken sandwich with fries, and my friend had the 28-day bone marrow burger. Had a side of ranch and firecracker aioli to compliment my chicken sando. From taste, the aioli is probably mayo mixes with a vinegary buffalo hot sauce. - The rice actually went pretty well with everything else in the poke stack. Blended seamlessly with the creamy avocado. Nice citrusy sauce throughout. - Mac and cheese balls are always great. Could be served a little hotter. I'd double up next time. - Chicken sandwich was textbook. Chicken could have been juicier from being brined longer, but not a bad sandwich and very filling. Good fries. Might upgrade to truffle fries next time. Wish they had garlic fries & a garlicky aioli. - Had a bite of the bone marrow burger. Felt like it could have used some cheese to round everything out. Missing texture as well. Perfect medium rare. Enjoyed pretty much everything, service was great, chill casual dinner vibes. Haven't been back to Eureka in 6+ years, but now I'll come more frequently. Solid 4/5. read more
