Eureka! Bite​ ​of​ ​the​ ​Week What’s​ ​up,​ ​everybody?!​ ​It’s​ ​your​ ​favorite bargain-seeking​ ​food​ ​connoisseurs​ ​coming​ ​at​ ​you with​ ​a​ ​dope​ ​new​ ​spot!​ ​This​ ​week​ ​we​ ​delved​ ​into​ ​the new​ ​restaurant​ ​found​ ​right​ ​off​ ​of​ ​SDSU’s​ ​campus, Eureka!​​ ​​This​ ​place​ ​had​ ​burgers,​ ​beer,​ ​and​ ​beets. Buckle​ ​up,​ ​this​ ​shit​ ​boutta​ ​get​ ​wild​ ​AF! The​ ​5​ ​Dubbs ​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​w/​ ​brandon Last week we got the opportunity to try some Jamaican food, and damn, was that Jerk Chicken appetizer bomb!

This week I decided to give ​Eureka! ​a shot and ordered one of their ​signature appetizers: the Fried Chicken Sliders! (and y’all know how much I love​ ​fried​ ​chicken​ ​lol) 1. Who? ​So, “who the hell even is ​Eureka!​?†you ask? Well, since the moment we walked in, the waitress kept bragging about how they were all about the community, and how they have been “Proudly serving the community of San Diego, California since 2013.†The staff kept talking about how they support local breweries and whatnot. (But I’ll just leave that to our Beerosseur.) Don’t get me wrong, it was nice at first, but damn, they just kept talking about it. Like, can I just​ ​eat​ ​my​ ​fried​ ​chicken​ ​sliders​ ​in​ ​peace?!

2. What? At this point, y’all know I got me some dank Fried Chicken Sliders . An order comes with 2 sliders and their ​signature handcut fries. These bad boys had: mashed potatoes, reaper chili sauce (low-key spicy), and confetti slaw.

And y’all already know my broke-ass got some water ‘cus ain’t nobody got money​ ​for​ ​expensive-ass​ ​drinks. 3. When? Y’all already know we had to be loyal to our ​Ballin’ on a Budget motto (YOLO), so we showed up at 3:30 for Hoppy Hour (yes, it’s “Hoppy†not “Happyâ€!) Get this, drinks AND appetizers were on special! My originally priced $12 appetizer was now $9.

That’s $3 whole​ ​dollars​ ​I​ ​could​ ​use​ ​for​ ​chips​ ​and​ ​soda! 4. Where? Eureka! ​can be found right by the Aztec Student Union. It’s walking distance from the dorms for all you freshies, and right by the transit station for the commuters. They also validate parking just in case y’all recommend it to a non-Aztec. Plus, the Uber and Lyft pick-up/ drop-off spot was practically inside the restaurant!​ ​(Just​ ​in​ ​case​ ​y’all​ ​get​ ​a​ ​lil​ ​tipsy.​ ​ ) It’s chill and honestly, the “industrial rustic’ thing was working for me. The wooden benches were a standout. Especially ‘cuz I love to talk with everybody and their momma. They also let you sit outside on the patio, inside at a booth, or at the bar which is both inside and outside. What more do you want? They have outdoor games (bean bag toss, Jenga, and some-ring-on-a-string-thing) that lets you give your friends that “L.†And just in case you're antisocial-ass wants to grab a meal alone, don’t worry, they have TV’s. 5. Worth​ ​it? All-in-all, this place is dope.

I didn’t feel rushed or like I was bothering the staff whenever I had a question. (Unlike that Korean BBQ place from a couple weeks ago .) If you’re on a budget and wanna treat yourself to something other than fast food, ​Eureka! might be the place for you! I mean, you’re getting a burger like all the other places, but it’s, like, at a fancy, gourmet,​ ​boujee​ ​burger​ ​lounge. Oh! I almost forgot! You actually don’t even have to buy food to be there.

Some people were entering through the side gate and just sitting around the fireplace. I even noticed a professor grading some papers while he drank a beer. (Btw, great job, Susan! You​ ​got​ ​a​ ​98/100​ ​on​ ​your​ ​paper!) Before​ ​and​ ​AFTER​ ​Expectations​ ​+ Veggie​ ​Meal w/​ ​Masuda If any of you have ever heard of ​Eureka! then the first thing that probably comes to mind is burgers and drinks. That is what it is known for. Now, you all know that I am not one who drinks.

So, my mind starts picturing more of a bar type place that is pretty loud with a small eating place. Well, there was a bar, HOWEVER, the place was not what I had imagined. The scenery was beautiful and guess what?... relaxing. If you want a night out for drinks and what not-- this is your place. If you want more of a relaxing night-- this is your also place.

They’ve got both scenarios in one​ ​place!​ ​They’re​ ​kept​ ​pretty​ ​separate. We chose to sit outside, and it was a cold day, okay? I was freezing. BUT… there were heaters right over our heads that kept me warm. Which was also something that I was not expecting.

Overall, I enjoyed eating at Eureka! even though I imagined it as a place that I wouldn’t​ ​like. NEXT…​ ​MY​ ​VEGGIE​ ​MEAL Okay, my ​Veggie Babies​, now since we all know this is a burger place and they must all be all confident about how amazing their meat patties are, allow your Veggie Goddess to tell you about their Veggie Beet Burger. It was the only Vegetarian option but you know you can substitute meat out of anything. Okay, so I have never had beets. Like I know they are vegetables and that they are this really red/purple color.

But I didn’t know what it would be like in a patty. So the patty was just kidney beans and beets. So it was basically a purple patty with onions, arugula, pickles, tomato, and a lemon vinaigrette. If you like them colors then you will love this patty. It also came with​ ​french​ ​fries.

Okay, let me tell you about ​the buns​. They were beautiful. They were crisped beautifully and sprinkled with sesame seeds. SO… I took my first bite and it was good.​ ​I​ ​would​ ​call​ ​it​ ​mildly​ ​good​ ​though. In the end, I took more bites and it was a good burger but it isn’t one I would want to buy again for $12.93 (plus tip!).

Honestly, it tasted like salad on bread. There was no cheese. You guys all know how much I obsess over cheese and there was no sauce to make the burger a little moist. It was very dry. You couldn’t taste the beets but it gave it a color.

You could taste the kidney beans. It was decent and I would buy it again if it would cost around $4. But it doesn’t, so I’m good. BEER-tastic ​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​w/​ ​Sharlene Eureka! Served only San Diego and SoCal brews; some local brews from Carlsbad and North Park were just $3-4!

I was LEGIT-impressed to get a beer that cheap that wasn’t the basic beers at a party. I had the Cream Ale: Covington from North Park for $4 with my chicken sliders ($9). The drink was 5.3% alcohol, was light, and did not have a bitterness. The server is really the plug because she DID NOT check for my ID. I didn’t mind it because I’m of legal drinking age but since we are in College area there will be plenty of kids that are trying to finesse some alcoholic drinks.

On the top right corner of each menu , it stated: “Proudly serving San Diego, CA since 2013.†This attracts SD natives and tourists as they cater specifically to serving locals. Matter of fact, all of their beer taps are brews from San Diego or general Southern California area. ​Eureka! is making a shout out to San Diego & its hard working people - as a customer, I am juiced to be at a restaurant that respects and honors local works. ​Eureka! has bottomless mimosas for $5 on the weekend brunch time​ ​--​ ​best​ ​believe​ ​I’ll​ ​be​ ​back​ ​with​
