The food was decent, though not particularly remarkable. The service and ambiance were excellent, and the happy hour offerings were a real highlight.

I pick up delivery orders from there. Sometimes there are delays, and the wait time can be up to 20 minutes. It's busy in the evenings and on weekends, smells of delicious food, and has a very friendly atmosphere. There are TVs above the bar, showing UFC, baseball, football, and boxing. I think I'd spend an evening there. ✌️💯👍

I had such a great experience at Eureka! The steak and frites were cooked perfectly flavorful, juicy and beautifully presented. But what really made the evening special was our server, Ruby. She was attentive, friendly and made sure everything was perfect from start to finish. Her great energy and attention to detail made the meal even better.
Highly recommend dining here and if you can, ask for Ruby!

Visited Eureka in Irvine (UTC) and had a really good experience overall. The staff were super friendly and attentive, making us feel welcome right away. The food was tasty and well-prepared, but the fries were just okay, could’ve been a bit crispier. Still, it’s a solid spot for a casual meal with great service and a fun atmosphere. Would definitely come back to try more items on the menu!

Just left after an excellent fish and chips meal. Left disappointed because I also ordered a Chandon Split and the glass was dirty. Poured in about 1/4 of split before seeing 3 floaters. Looked at the bottle and it had a plastic cork, so I knew it wasn’t a cork issue. Asked the bartender, as I was sitting with my husband at the bar, for a new glass and showed him the floaters. He said ok and got a new glass, set it down and never said sorry or offered a new split. So I paid full price for less sparkling wine. I left an 18% tip instead of 20+. Food was great and usually so are drinks. I get that mistakes are made but should say sorry and try to correct.

Several of my friends and I went there to get the steak salad, which we had before and was amazing...sadly they no longer serve it. We all had the smash burger instead. It was fine, but didnt measure up to expectations.

This restaurant offered a dining experience that combined outstanding service with delicious food. The staff was warm and attentive, making guests feel right at home. The menu showcased variety without being overwhelming, providing excellent choices for different tastes. Dishes arrived promptly, perfectly cooked, and beautifully presented. Each bite reflected freshness and attention to detail. The atmosphere struck the right balance between lively and relaxed, making it easy to enjoy conversation. Cleanliness was clearly a priority, with every area well-maintained. The entire visit felt seamless, from ordering to the last bite. It was a thoroughly enjoyable experience worth repeating often.
The food was fantastic. I especially enjoyed the wings with buffalo sauce. The Eureka burger was also tasty and satisfying. However, I want to point out that the person at the counter was a bit racist. They led us two to the smallest table though we were the only customers then in the restaurant. We requested a bigger table and they agreed, reluctantly. Same for the waiters. They treated white customers with passion but basically ignored us two Asians. Eventually we couldn’t handle the wait and paid at the counter. Overall, if you’re white, this is definitely a great place to dine in with lots of great food; otherwise, I would advise not to.

Fun spot right in the university area with a lively vibe, cool lighting and an open industrial feel. Big outdoor patio area with an awesome gas fireplace surrounded by water provides a great atmosphere for sitting outside on a cool evening. Tons of beers on tap and a very wide selection of bourbons and whiskeys. Big open bar with funky and comfortable bar chairs and the critical appropriately positioned footrest to make things nice and comfy. Friendly and helpful staff. What’s not to like?!?

This Eureka! is a college-town version of the restaurant. The music thumps, the taps are interesting and full, the animation level of patrons is loud-ish, and talkative, and it is very popular during popular times of day / days of the week.
If you like all that, and you like the Eureka! franchise, you'll love this location.
