Eureka! Santa Clara

Tasty spot for a quick lunch!

Stopped in for lunch, not to busy at lunch time on Sunday. We ordered kids cheeseburger meal, smashed burger with Mac and cheese balls and spicy chicken sandwich. Food came out fairly quick. The fries were pretty good. My kid said his burger was fine. My smash burger was also good, I split half with my sister and she gave me half of her spicy chicken sandwich. The chicken sandwich was interesting, first bite was good. Subsequent bites were salty. I tried to find out what was salty, not the pickles, not the slaw, not the batter, but I think it was the spicy sauce they tossed it in or drizzled on. My sister thought the same. The Mac and cheese balls were good, has a little kick to it (kid thought it was spicy).

Great food, interesting specialty drinks, and a moody club-like feel (complete with edm mixes and sports on mute), I felt like I was specifically the demographic being catered to. Great place for a date or to pregame before a night out

First time trying Eureka even though it’s within walking distance from my place!

I ordered the spicy chicken sandwich and was pleasantly surprised — the quality was definitely a notch above fast food chains like McDonald’s. The chicken was crispy, flavorful, and clearly made with better ingredients.

That said, it’s also more expensive — mine came out to around $20, which feels a bit steep for just a sandwich. But to be fair, you’re also paying for the ambiance, not just the food. The restaurant has a really nice, modern vibe that makes it feel more like a trendy, casual date spot rather than a grab-and-go place.

Unfortunately, I got my order to-go, so I didn’t really get to enjoy the dine-in experience — probably not the best decision. Next time I’ll definitely eat in and soak up the atmosphere.

Overall, solid food, great setting — not the cheapest, but worth it for a casual night out.

Staff was friendly and food was really good

Asked for water 3 times. Never provided. Food was awful. Spicy chicken had so much caked on spice as to be unedible. Atmosphere is good and upbeat but this didn't offset bad food and poor service

Food was great, I loved the wings and truffle fries, the nachos were okay. The ambience was pretty good too, we sat in the outdoor patio, the place is dog-friendly. Knocking down two stars because our waitress was really pushy about giving her an 18% tip for a group of 6. While I understand that it is customary to tip more for a larger group, and my group would be happy to pay if it was added to our bill by default as it is in many places, asking the person paying to change their tip to 18% when they are paying in front of the entire group felt distasteful and inappropriate. It should be added by default to the bill. This behavior was not acceptable especially in a restaurant that caters to large social and corporate groups.

Food was good (8/10) but service wasn't great at all. Server kept rushing us even though we hadn't been there long. It just made a bad experience

Steven was our server at the Santa Clara location. We've eaten here multiple times and always love it, but this is the first time we felt we had to leave a review. Steven is an amazing, attentive server!!

The food is unbelievably well priced for what it is. Excellent sides, good burgers, good variety of drinks. The truffle fries are definitely their best side.

If you’re into fancy-ass food served with a side of mild neglect, Eureka might be your spot. The drinks? Bougie AF. They were priced like they came with a private chef and a side of life advice, but nope—just a hint of regret when the bill came.
The crowd? Spicy. I learned more cuss words in one dinner than in my 27 years in the Navy, which is saying something. On the plus side, the music was vibing—props to the DJ for getting me through my overpriced cocktail.
Would I go back? Eh, probably not. But if you’re looking for an overpriced lesson in patience with a soundtrack, give it a shot.
