Brace yourself for what is sure to be an onslaught of food feels after reading this post.

I stopped in to the brand new Eureka!, a California chain with fourteen locations throughout California, Washington and Texas, serving up a “chef-driven menu” that’s heavy on the burgers, craft brews, and American whiskey. The location landed smack dab in the middle of Uptown Dallas as a part of the 3500M mixed-use residential project. It is a cozy space that focuses heavily on the bar and patio aspects (which will be perfect for warmer weather). Eureka! West Village serves the Uptown area with a trendy casual place to dine, drink, and socialize while enjoying weekly events, like Steal The Glass, live music, and daily “Hoppy” Hour. General Manager Matthew Ellis describes the feel as the ‘living room of Uptown’ and I can certainly get down with that. Now hand over the clicker.

The bar game is serious at Eureka! and we tried a couple of the cocktails to begin. The Moscow Mule and Greyhound cocktails were incredibly tasty on a chilly evening. All of the infusions are made in house, which is the theme for most of the dishes served here as well.

After being invited in, Eureka! lined up a few options from their menu to sample. My favorites from the starters were the Truffle Cheese Fries with creamy Havarti truffle sauce (OMG good!), Golden Ale Mussels in a jalapeño bacon stock topped with crispy pancetta and golden ale beer and the Lollipop Corn Dogs. All three options are highly shareable and with hours bending into the late-night scene, I can tell I’ll be craving those cheese fries.

Eureka! has an amazing burger selection, but several of the mains hold their own as well. Beef Cheek Tacos were moist and had a nice spicy touch from the chipotle hot sauce they ladle on top. A Bone Marrow Burger landed on the table to awe and stomach growls. This baby is loaded with bone marrow porcini butter, a charbroiled onion and mustard aioli. Certainly a two-fist kind of sandwich, this burger was one of the best I’ve had in town and comes with limited availability note on the menu.

I needed to know how Eureka! stacked up in the sweets department, naturally. The Butterscotch Rum Pudding was a favorite with flaky sea salt on top. A Chocolate Espresso Soufflé and Americana Apple Crisp were delicious as well. I got a chuckle when the dessert menu listed a “more beer!” option as well.

Have a happy thought and chant “Eureka!” when you stumble upon this great new addition in Dallas soon.
