Spring/summer menu offerings at Eureka!

Eureka! is one of my favorite burger places in Orange County. But, with the seasons comes a wave of new flavors to shake up the menu. These scratch-made dishes created with locally sourced, fresh, and delectable ingredients provide guests with more options. Along with the food, the craft beverage menu has some new “mocktails” with refreshing flavors as well.

Ginger Lime Soda is crafted with fresh pressed ginger root, lime juice, and sugar. This drink will really wake up your senses. It is bright, sweet, and tastes like a limeade soda with a ginger kick. The sweetness could be toned down a tad. Rating: 4.5/5

Beet Detox is made with freshly juiced beets, sumac, and lemon juice. The beet juice combined with the lemon juice creates a flavor similar to lihimui (a popular Hawaiian seasoning) – sweet and tangy. The bubbly soda water makes it crisp and refreshing. Rating: 4.5/5

Crispy Glazed Brussels Sprouts are topped with herb oil and macadamia nuts. The glaze has a sweet orange, Asian flavor profile. The roasting process helps bring out the natural sweetness of the brussels sprouts. The macadamia nuts add a nutty flavor and richness to the dish. Rating: 4.4/5

Slow-Roasted Pork Ribs are glazed with orange chili sauce, topped with chimichurri, and served with confetti coleslaw. These tender ribs have an Asian-inspired flavor profile with sweet and spicy notes. A little bit of a fermented sauce flavor like sriracha or fish sauce could be detected. The spiciness is just right to balance out the sweetness. The slaw also has an Asian flair. The oil and vinegar flavor provides it with extra brightness. The green apple and red pepper provide sweetness. Rating: 4.3/5

Lobster Tacos (Limited availability) are two lobster tacos with knuckle and claw meat topped with cabbage, avocado, saffron crema, watermelon radish and served with signature hand-cut fries. These tacos are wonderful and filled with 1.5 ounces of lobster meat in each taco. The cabbage adds a nice crisp texture like a baja-style taco. The avocado and saffron crema create a nice creamy flavor and texture. Rating: 4.4/5

Chocolate Torte is a dark chocolate torte topped with vanilla bean ice cream and macadamia nuts. This dessert is rich and dense with a decadent fudgy center. It is very chocolatey with the texture of a lava cake but without the molten center. The vanilla bean ice cream adds a cold creamy contrast to the cake. The macadamia nuts add a nice crunchy texture. Rating: 4/5
