Eureka Grill

Had one of their specials - great burger with swiss cheese and mushrooms and excellent french fries and the best Bloody Mary ever! It was a beautiful day to sit outside! Wish we had a great place like Eureka Grill in Overland, Missouri.

We had a horrible experience today. The woman came out and yelled at us to not move tables together for about group. So we had to sit at 3 separate tables. Which no big deal. But she handled it poorly.

Took a while to get menus. And then the server Chris was not great from start to finish. He asked if we’re were ready to order and we said no to food but wanted drinks.
He said “we do drink orders when we do food”
Never have I had a restaurant not start with drink orders. Took a while for our food to come out. But it was busy. We got our drinks, no straws or silverware until we asked. Small glasses and had to ask for refills. The food wasn’t flavorful. Frozen hamburger patties, wimpy soggy fries with zero salt and they weren’t hot.
It was a late lunch so we didn’t complain about the food. But then our checks came and it was an automatic 20% tip. Which would have been fine since their menu said for parties over 5. But since we were all separated, it shouldn’t have been considered a large party. Plus the service was crap. Still no refills or a check back after a few bites of food. Had to ask for refills when they finally came back to our table after we were done eating.
When called out on the tip issue, he got loud and rude and we didn’t get a choice. Every ticket got 20% added despite being parties of 4 or less.
The manager Andrew offered cookies for the kids for the troubles. But that wasn’t going to solve paying 20% to a waiter who did a horrible job and then had an attitude.
As a server myself, I always tip 20% or higher unless it’s absolutely crap service. And I know what it feels like to be tipped low from people who are simply cheap or don’t know how to tip.
If we had paid cash, we probably wouldn’t have left more than a few dollars. But we don’t carry that much cash.

So the service here was excellent! Very attentive and accommodating. Super friendly, and if you get a chance to try the spicy pimento cheese chicken sandwich, do it! It was excellent. Pulled Pork was pretty good with some their BBQ sauce on it so make sure to try some of that as well!

I loved that the fries were not doused in salt. Add some crunch. Chicken tenders were awesome. I recommend that the Grill reduce the cheese and add more lettuce to the salad. Make a big salad! Also don't put hot salmon on a cold salad. Burger looked lean. There was no alcohol in that $12 margarita. Not cool. Salsa and chips were great.

This has been a long time favorite of ours. We come to ES about 4 times a year and this is one of our must eats. Always something delicious on special. We has the curry chicken pasta and it was just absolutely amazing. So fresh and so flavorful.

The waiter is always attentive, and we recognize him from previous visits. Just a overall pleasant person.

Great location. Great food. Great people. What more can you ask for?

First, when we got there, they didn’t acknowledge us, after a while just standing there and waiting we asked and they just told us to sit anywhere. Then they got somebody’s order first. And finally the food was terrible, the burgers are frozen patties and they can’t even make fries, they give you a bag of chips. The margarita was in a can. They were nice but it’s not worth it at all.

Such a cute patio, dog friendly. We had our two Boston Terriers with us and the waiter brought them some water. The food was so delicious and such a good value compared to our dinner at sparkys. The chicken strips were delicious and the ranch was probably the best ranch I've ever had at a food establishment. Will definitely be back! (They take card now, but we brought cash because other reviews said they didn't take card.

A little hidden; but, glad I found it. They had fish and chips (cod) which surprised me and it was good. Prices were fair for a tourist town - cash only. My server (Andrew) was welcoming, friendly, and attentive. Enjoyed being at the quiet, peaceful end of town.
