Soooo this is for the food only. We ordered - Osso bucco riblets- the sauce it was rolled in was awesome but the riblets itself were probably the end of the day batch bc it was sooooo dry it was wheezing . The corn dog puppies on a stick- those were yummy and came in a trio sauce ( the ketchup and the middle one taste good AVOID THE THIRD) My Caesar salad was really yucky. I asked for Caesar on the side as it came and it came in the actual bunch as I felt like an animal gnawing on wicked soured caper sauce whole lettuce or something. My man got the cowboy burger , toooo much shoestring onions , patty itself lacked flavor . He says ehhhhhhh. I also got the the panko fried onion rings. It was awesome. I DO HAVE TO SAY EVEN THOUGH OUR FOOD DIDNT MEET THE HYPE THAT WAS PUT OUT, I absolutely adored my server. He was cool as hell.

Oh man, these burgers are so juicy and perfectly cooked. My personal favorite is the Napa burger with arugula and pancetta. The arugula really cuts through the saltiness of the pancetta and so theres a nice balance. My only complaint is that the bottom of the burger gets really oily and soggy quickly so you have to eat fast. Idk why but I really dig their fries. Theyre crispy and not overly salted and just on point. Would also recommend their corn dog lollipop appetizer with the spicy mustard as the dipping sauce. One of the best corn dogs Ive ever had. The restaurant tends to be on the noisier side especially if theres a sports game on which can be a problem if youre trying to have a close, intimate date. But if youre just going with friends, then youre set!

It was horrible because their food was honestly not worth the price combined with the fact that they do not split checks according to individual spenditure. I would advise strongly considering patronizing their establishment if you are looking for a comfortable group outing with cost incurrements. Oh, and let me add that this place is advertised as an American restaurant but it is actually a very distracting and boisterous sports bar. Not to mention, instead of having one server, we had several which resulted in severe mistakes and could have resulted in an allergic reaction in the worst case. This place was mediocre, as was their service and atmosphere.

What to Order: The Napa Burger with arugula was truly amazing and surprising. This is my favorite burger here and I suggest it to everyone. The Osso Bucco Riblets are also tasty. The Fish Tacos are also very good! *Note... always get the fries! - the Onion Rings are great... HOWEVER you only get 3 or 4! of them... not sure why... but never made sense. Bar: Their focus on American liquor only is impressive and the Whiskey Sour was a solid drink. Service: I have been here numerous times for both food and drinks and always have a consistent and solid good experience.

This place was a wonderful experience. First we just made it a couple of minutes before happy hour was to be over and our waiter was kind enough to come ask us if we wanted something from the bar. We ordered 3 screwdrivers with a splash of grenadine. The bartender did not have it but Derek went to the back to get it and came to our table and give each drink a splash. Our waiter was Derek and he went way beyond expectations to make our dining experience the best!!! The burger was the best I have ever had!!! I would highly recommend this place to everyone.!

Digging the vibe of this place! Loved the Eureka theme and how highlights are done with the exclamation point! The servers lived up to the theme and were just as enthusiastic! Okay you get the (exclamation) point. Great for date night and groups for splitting appetizers. And a haven for burger lovers. Everything on the menu looked so tasty it made it so hard to decide! We went with the napa burger and chicken saltimbocca. The Napa burger was delish they didnt skimp on the extras and the chicken saltimbocca was a tad salty but great for carb watchers.

The drinks are delicious but good sweet lord is the service the ABSOLUTE WORST. Currently waiting 1+ hour for a burger, and the waiter just handed us our check as if we we had finished (or even started) our meal. Dont come here to eat because it will never happen. You have to take your own order and bring it out to your own table. Its always exciting to see a table that came in an hour after you ordered eat and have drinks before you get your first round of water. Consumer beware. (Also, have I mentioned how delicious the drinks are?!?!)

Nice place, buy terrible service! It took them 45 min just to find us a table and it has been around 45 minutes since they took our orders for burgers, but nothing arrived yet! They promised to bring some french fries quickly for my 1.5 year old son which hasnt arrived as well. Update: The food was really good when it finally arrived. We requested to talk to manager at the end and she politely apologized for the their poor service and offered to cut our check into half to make out for the bad experience.

Pretty decent gourmet burger joint / bar. This place offers a variety of American food, but having only tried their burgers, Im basing this review on their excellent burgers. If you want a burger with pink in the middle, juicy patty, go eat here! $10-$16 burgers come with a choice of sides, but make sure to upgrade to sweet potato fries for $1.50 more. The ambiance of the place is trendy and slightly hipster, which lends itself well to business lunch meetings or a night out with professional colleagues.

Food is just okay and the service is terrible. Its one of those places where the attitude is "were doing you a favor by bringing you food." I went there twice and both times it took forever to get noticed - the first time I didnt know if it was a seat-yourself type of place. The music is way too loud. The burger is decent and its nice that its open late on weekdays, but that doesnt justify the bad service I dont like giving bad reviews but this place warrants it.

Waitress was awesome! Feel bad because I dont remember her name. I think my son was the only kid in there at the time, but she was so sweet and patient. She was good about checking on us. I didnt get the drink I wanted but it was fine since the food was so good. Some things, appetizers, were a little spicy and I usually dont risk it since I have no tolerance but some things were well worth it! Hubby and I want to come back and try their beer flight.

Came here after a Warriors game. Perk that theres a parking lot and plenty of street parking next to the restaurant. Fantastic looking restaurant/bar. Its small, I wouldnt advise to come here with a large group. I can already see this place getting really packed on a Thursday/Friday/Saturday night. I like that the front of the place is open and brings in the fresh air. But overall food, is mediocre. Reminds me of an upscale BJs.

The place is easy to find and we didnt have to wait, but the table for 4 was uncomfortably small, 4 glasses and 4 main dish plates could barely fit on it. Chicken nachos were a bit on the bland side. Cheese in the burger overpowered the meat. Napa chicken sandwich was better than other dishes, but the grilled chicken breast in it was not pounded before cooking, making the edges dry.
