Eureka! Fresno — Restaurant in Fresno

My husband and I have been eating here from time to time for the past few years and have always had very pleasant experiences. We recently came in for dinner for the first time as a family of three with our 9-month-old baby. I don't habitually write online reviews but our experience during our visit prompted me to write this one. We had such a nice dinner and all of the staff that served us went out of their way to make us comfortable. I didn't do a good job of catching names so I will try to give some descriptors so individuals can get the recognition they deserve. However, my impression based on how we were treated by everybody is that the culture of this restaurant values the experiences of young children and their families. The hostess who greeted us (slightly long dark curly hair) made sure we were comfortably seated and provided a clean high chair set at the table for our baby. Our server (tall, Shane from Boy Meets World haircut, moderate arm tattoo coverage, quick with the personal recommendations) was personable but efficient, thinking of things to make our infant restauranteur more comfortable that didn't occur to us, such as having his food come out first. Another woman (maybe a manager? Blue and white striped flowy shirt, shoulder length hair) spontaneously brought our little man some orange wedges and carrots sticks to munch on/play with and was so careful to place hot plates out of reach.

We will definitely be coming back. This was already a go-to spot for us and we now have a new level of appreciation for the staff who gave us an enjoyable night out when it feels like restaurant visits with a baby really could go either way. The food is great, the drink menu is impressive and unique, the atmosphere is so fun, and we are so grateful for the people who clearly value the next generation of customers and their nervous parents trying for a...

🍳 Breakfast Burrito Bliss: Picture this – a tortilla crusted with cheese, cradling tater tots, eggs, crispy bacon, creamy avocado, and a salsa that whispers sweet nothings to your taste buds. It's the breakfast equivalent of a warm hug from your favorite aunt.

🥃 Whiskey Wonderland: Eureka! takes whiskey seriously, like a philosopher pondering the meaning of life. Neat? On the rocks? In a cocktail? They've got you covered. And if whiskey were a language, Eureka! would be fluent.

🌱 Veggie Vibes: Fear not, herbivores! The Veggie Beet burger struts in, flaunting its housemade beet and kidney bean patty. Topped with house pickles, tomatoes, onions, and arugula, it's like a garden party in your mouth. And that tart lemon vinaigrette? It's the witty banter that ties it all together.

🚫 Dietary Detectives: Got restrictions? Eureka! doesn't play hide-and-seek with allergens. Just ask, and they'll reveal the secrets – gluten-free, vegan, or whatever your heart desires. No decoder ring required.

🎶 Soundtrack: Imagine the clink of whiskey glasses, the sizzle of bacon, and the hum of laughter. That's Eureka! – where the playlist is as diverse as the whiskey flights.

💡 Pro Tip: Pair your breakfast burrito with a good stout – it's like a sunrise and sunset in one sip.

So, my fellow adventurers, raise your glasses (whiskey or otherwise) and toast to Eureka! Fresno. It's where flavors collide, and charm dances with every bite. 🥂

No photos as this was for business, which brings up how easy our waitress split out bill. This is an example how it...

I actually liked this burger. I ordered the Eureka Cheeseburger with the broccolini instead of fries and it didn't disappoint. I ordered it delivery and it was delicious! The broccolini had a nice kick to (spicy) and was delicious. Not sure if that's what made my hamburger bun a little soggy but it was sure worth it.

I didn't alter a thing on the burger. I normally prefer a yellow/orange cheese but wanted to leave it to the experts and it was delicious!! The highlight of flavor comes from the cucumber pickles. The spicy marinate gives it a nice kick with the perfect crunch. I could taste the nice chargrill flavor. I am impressed. I ordered my burger medium well so it was nice and juicy with a little pink. I took off the red onions but allowed them to sit on the burger for a bit to absorb the flavor before I ate it. Very well done Eureka!!

Now on to the Mac n cheese balls. Can't say that I was a fan. It has like a bleu cheese type sauce to dip in. I liked the crisp shell casing. I immediately thought of fair food and said deep fried Mac n cheese! The dip chased me all the way away as I don't like bleu cheese. It (bleu cheese) has such a spoiled taste to my palette that its a fast no for me. I'll try the fries next round and maybe the cauliflower but can't say the Mac n cheese balls appealed to me. I'll be back and we'll see if I can give a full 5. My first few bites of the burger I was ready to go 5 all the way then had to slow down and take it all in...to...
