Best burgers in Santa Barbara. Highly recommend upgrading to the truffle fries, wouldn't suggest ordering the spinach & artichoke dip (SMALL amount of dip & chips), can't go wrong with any of the burgers. Good location, I like the interior, unfortunately have to park in the underground lot but they usually have spaces.

Food was cold, burger was cold fries were cold. Food taste like it was sitting on the counter to long after being made. Wait staff did not come back and asked if we wanted refills on our drinks. I give it two stars for ambiance. Could've been better.

This place was the only restaurant open in downtown SB after 10 and thank god for that. My roommate and i were tired after watching a show and needed something to eat and we absolutely fell in love with the spicy chicken sandwich they had here! It was was juicy, the perfect crunch, and soooo fresh, The fries were also insanely good and the overall vibe of the place was so nice. It is on the more expensive side but that’s just what happens in downtown sb

Great place for date night. I think that our server, David?, was amazing. Even though we were sat by the kitchen, he made up for it with the excellent and fast service. We started with the cauliflower bites and they were okay, I liked the breaded coating but wish there was more flavor. I had the french dip and got a side of mac and cheese balls which were amazing and spicy. We put one in the burger and made it the perfect bite. We also got the truffle fries which came with a yummy cheese sauce, the cheese sauce would've been good with the cauliflower maybe? To end it all, we got the barrel cake and was SO GOOD. I usually don't eat nuts but the pecans and carmel with the moist cake was such a good end to a filling meal!

First time in my life nachos can be classified as sweet instead of savory, is this a recipe? Everything had a sweet taste. Absolutely disgusting. My friend got a the Napa chicken sandwich - it was sloppy, bread was stale. Ingredients asked to be left off were sloppily thrown on. Also disgusting and largely inedible. He only ate the fries. Suffice it to say, better to cook at home.

EUREKA! is a cool looking bar/bistro that a friend and i visited yesterday looking for a quiet place to have drinks and appetizers. This joint is inside the Paseo close to Carrillo and across from Cali Pizza Kitchen. To be honest we drank wine and only had one appetizer: Nachos, of course. The Nachos were spare looking with all of the condiments at a minimum and looking as if the cook used a ruler to measure each and every one so that they were all were about the same size. I would like to meet this guy as his knife skills are of a very high quality. Though i usually don't like meat on my 'chos: the chicken here was very tasty and fresh and cut with a ruler. We came in about 4 o'clock which is generally no man's land in most restaurants and so it was here. But we didn't mind because we were much involved in our convo. Nachos were good not great: the accoutrements need to be doubled particularly because the chips were super crisp and tasty. The Hitching Post Red is delicious: deep red, plummy, nutty and finishes with a slight lemon flavor. Really good stuff. We will definitely be back on a Tuesday. Why Tuesday? Wines (and they have a great wine list, btw) All Wines are 1/2 off !!! The Bartender was laid back. but nice and willing to help. He was obviously new but had no problem asking others for help. Cheers!

I like them and their food. Their people were friendly. I wish they would have sat me at one of the three empty booths but they said they were taken. Probably just my party was too small but nbd. Their rules are their rooks right. Get the Mac and cheese balls!

1st off customer service was great. When traveling, I try to go to different places, not the same place twice. Well, in this case, Eureka was twice for dinner, and we have absolutely no complaints. 1st dinner I had the French Dip, my husband had the spicy Chicken Sandwich, and my son had the fish n chips. Everything was sooo.... good and came out very quickly and fresh. The next day, we switched up a little. I had the Eureka American, hubby had the Napa chicken, daughter had the spicy Chicken Sandwich and son and tenders. Again, food came out hot, quick, fresh and good. Good job to all at this location. A+
