Delicious!! I had a Triple Burger & Truffle Cheese Fries. The Truffle Cheese Fries were probably the best Fries I have ever eaten & both bartenders that helped with my order were super friendly. I'm definitely going back again soon & recommend Eureka to Everyone!!

Took an hour and a half to change a channel to the number one game currently playing, management has no idea what they’re doing.

I've been here several times over the last couple years and every time I leave with the same feeling. Meh. The quality of food to price ratio is low. $14+ for a mediocre burger and no fries (+$4). You're better off going across the street to Bittercreek.
This time I was with a group of 6 and everyone got something different to try a few things out. The steak on the nachos and frites were bland, chewy, and flavorless requiring getting salt and pepper to add some flavor. Like I said the burgers were mediocre, even the smash burger which should be easy. The cheese steak and spicy chicken sandwiches were good.
The service was good as well and on top of checking in on us. It's also one of those places that turns the music up as the night progresses so it does get difficult to have a conversation.
Overall we just left feeling like the quality of food is not up to par with the prices.

Shoutout to their manager Jared for great service. He asked how our food was and I didn’t want to make a fuss but he could tell there was an issue with something. Ended up comping my meal, we’ll be back soon!

After a cider festival, a few of my friends decided to grab lunch here since it's one of 3 places in the area with a dog friendly patio.
Wait time was pretty long to get our burgers and a salad wrap because they kept messing up our orders. My salad wrap took the longest to arrive on the table since they forgot it was a wrap instead of a plated salad. Unfortunately, the presentation was lack-luster with the one half of the wrap torn and split with the insides falling out. The seasoning seemed to also be lacking since only a couple of bites had flavor, and it was delicious in those very few season-filled bites.
It was 2pm and not busy and we otherwise only had water with our meals. The staff seemed either distracted or inattentive since our split check was also wrong. Which was funny since they brought out water bowls, toys, premium bones from used steaks, and milk bones out for the dogs. I guess they prefer canine guests who don't pay compared to the owners. Overall... weird experience. Not likely to go again when I used to love this place a year or two ago.

This place used to be amazing, but unfortunately has gone down the toilet.
First- their one good non-salad vegetarian option is no longer on the menu. Now, the only non-meat burger is called the “black and blue burger”… I get it’s a play on words- it’s just a disturbing one, and frankly, the burger itself sounds highly unappealing. Apparently you can substitute any meat patty for a nondescript veggie patty, but I’ve always found a lack of description means a lack of care and attention, and Eureka has made it very clear by their menu alone that inclusivity is neither a priority nor a specialty for them.
Second, I tried their Napa Chicken Sandwich- grilled chicken breast, roasted tomato, pesto aioli, havarti, and bacon. I got it without the bacon. Overall, very hard to mess up. As described, it was supposed to come with ROASTED tomato, but alas- I received fresh tomato slices instead. Odd. The sandwich itself was rather bland, and the chicken had an indescribably grotesque texture. Upon further inspection, THE CHICKEN WAS PINK. I’m very curious to know how you guys managed to royally screw up one of your easiest dishes on the menu. And of course, I received my order via delivery and could not just send it back for a new one. The amount of money I spent to NOT eat dinner and risk salmonella is disgraceful- especially for a restaurant I used to love and recommend. After this, I will never be eating here again, and will be telling others to steer clear of Eureka as well.

As of now, Eureka is just another sub-par (at best) restaurant with a fancy facade, which we have more than enough of in Boise already. Such a guise is tired and truly needs to stop.
I’d advise to either get your establishment together- particularly in regard to quality and FOOD SAFETY, or to really lean into the lazy, hazardous vibe you have going now instead of continuing to pretend you’re some luxurious local spot worth the extra coin. Y’know- either actually USE the food thermometers collecting dust, or turn the lights on, play top 40s, and start serving chicken strips and peach schnapps like any other questionable (yet somehow often more trustworthy) dive bar in any given town. You’d think they would’ve made changes for the better throughout the years, but unfortunately Eureka is just an ostentatious joint with a good enough location to charge $20 for a stomach bug. Yikes.
Let’s bring integrity back, or in the VERY least care enough to do the bare minimum.

The mac and cheese balls were absolutely amazing, crispy on the outside and perfectly cheesy inside. Ava was our server and she kept the whole table smiling with her lighthearted, fun energy.

Got seated and waited over 10 minutes until I approached the hostess desk asking if we had a server. Excuse was they were taking a large parties order, that wasn’t the case. Short staffed, lots of training and servers walking around like they don’t know what to do. No smiles, atmosphere has changed. Use to be a great place. Will not return!
