A hat-tip to the Yelper who said don't be fooled by the appearance of the AA Bar & Grill. It's an old school dive bar with the menu on a chalkboard, sports on TV, Keno, and a shuffle board table. We came here after we couldn't get into Brick & Fire on a Saturday night without a reservation. It was quite a difference restaurant type. Bellying up to the bar, we were quickly acknowledge, even though the bar was full (except for the two seats we took) and only two bartenders running around. We quickly warmed to the place as it felt completely comfortable, unfussy and unpretentious. We started out with drinks. My G&T was a generous size, and the price was low for top shelf liquor. We ordered the ribeye and fried chicken. The ribeye came out grilled to a crispy outside but still medium rare on the inside. Perfect! And they aren't afraid of seasoning the meat, a good amount of salt and pepper to compliment the beefiness of the meat. It didn't even need the horseradish it came with, although it was still nice to have. The chicken nicely fried, but it had a bit of an oddly sweet flavor. And you get half a chicken! I ended up saving a piece and eating it cold the next day. It still smelled terrific and tasted pretty good. The bartenders were friendly and did a great job of being there when we needed them (drinks, food orders, more drinks, leftover boxes). We struck up a conversation with a couple of ladies sitting next to us. It got quiet quickly after 10pm. We stayed awhile to play some shuffle board while finishing our drinks. It was a great evening. read more

Well I was going to order food with what I thought was a good restaurant. I tried to call and order a take out order and whoever answered stated that they didn't have time for that and that I need to call back later. I'm sorry but in my eyes that's horrible customer service. read more

Not only are the steaks the best, the environment is awesome, and the bartenders are the absolute BEST! It's like having a drink with an old friend, who takes great care of you and is willing to have a great time with anyone who walks in. Super fun atmosphere, relaxed and welcoming. Brittney is one awesome bartender, who absolutely makes an already great experience, an unforgettable, amazing experience!!!! read more

Overlooked as one of the best and most affordable lunch options in downtown Eureka. Nothing at all wrong with steaks or weekend brunch, but let's talk lunch. Menu includes killer burgers (mushroom swiss, jalapeno, cheeseburger), french dip (my favorite), linguica or crispy chicken sammie, or a patty melt (FN Good!), plus a side of fries, rings, salad, or soup for $8.50. Go rings! Kitchen closes lunch at 2:00. On 101 across from the jail, can't miss it, and super convenient if driving through town. Check your ego at the door, belly up to the bar (adult beverage or otherwise) and let them take care of you, you will be back. read more

Best steak in eureka! Filet is delish. Only thing Is I like a medium rare but you have to order medium or it way to purple in the middle! read more

In town on a day trip, saw the reviews for the best steak in Eureka so I stopped in. Ordered the sirloin medium rare. It was a little rare for what I was expecting but I ate the entire thing because it was so good. Great cut of meat. This is a little divey bar but it was a good find. I'll come back and order medium next time. read more

I ordered the filet mignon with potato soup and onion rings. The soup tasted freezer burned, the mushroom and onion gravy (what a mistake) was gross, and the steak was very tough. My friend ordered the porterhouse steak and the tenderloin section of his steak was magnitudes better than my filet. I will not be going back, would not recommend. read more

I read the previous reviews about this place here on yelp, and they were pretty much spot on. Came here first time on a Wednesday night and saw the local crowd. Sat at the bar, which is pretty much the only place you can sit, and had a hearty top sirloin. I asked for it to be cooked medium and it came to me with about an inch of dark pink in the center and was just a little bit tough to cut through with the knife. I consumed all 16 ounces of it though, and left satisfied. Even though I haven't tried any other steak in Eureka, I would still come here first and foremost if I want great tasting cow. Oh yeah, the horseradish is nothing to mess around with. They give you so little, but it packs a kick when you first put it in your mouth then a punch when you feel your nose clear up and your eyes start to water. Great overall experience. read more

Just moved to eureka and have been checking out spots. Loved it here. Very nice staff and really nice people. Had a number of great conversations. It seems to be a very "regular" spot and I like that! Great wings too! read more

Looks like a dive but totally worth the visit. Bartender was awesome and the food was really good. Never had bar food like that. I will be going back. read more

Food is excellent, best steakhouse in town! Server is overbooked and alone and still does an amazing job. A must try if you're in town. Currently out here for work and go at least 2-3 times a week for lunch and dinner. read more

The steak I had for lunch was great! The place is a bar so if you don't mind the bar setting, this place is for you. Only 4 because the steak was cooked as ordered; it was close. read more

The place and staff were nice enough; a clean and comfortable decor that is relatively small and friendly. Unfortunately the difference between 3 and 5 stars is about the same between medium-rare and medium. My tears wanted to flow as freely as the flavor flowed from the steak to the grill when I saw the inside of my exceptional-looking steak. The saddest part of this tragedy was that my ribeye appeared to be of the highest quality. Even so, one expects to find marbling in a ribeye and alas, there was little here. I was later thrown off when I heard the soup of the day was Minestrone -which I would have happily ordered with my meal- but was told the only soup was clam chowder when I ordered. At the very least, I'm happy to have crossed this place of my list of eateries in Eureka. I may give it another shot in the future since I travel here quite frequently. read more

Best steak in town, best service in town! All the servers are amazing and Briitney leads the team. The welcoming is always awesome. The owner has continued to make this place great, and now, risen the bar even higher! read more

One word "Amazing" stopped in for a drink and dinner. Had the Fried Chicken with onion rings and a Filet with fries and onion rings. The chicken was so tender and crust was so crunchy and crisp. Best fried chicken ever. The true star were the onion rings OMG best I've ever had the beer batter was perfect. If your in Eureka this is a must for breakfast lunch or dinner. Bar staff are awesome and lots of fun make you feel right at home. read more

Used to be the place. Now it's a hit and miss. Would rate higher if they followed Covid19 policies..:-/

Finally gave this gem a try! I can say I was surprised at how clean it was inside, and while the menu was simple, it was very tasty. My wife ordered a filet mignon and myself a porterhouse, which was a heck of a deal in terms of size (I brought half home!). The side options were aplenty, with a small salad or gumbo and potato, fries, onion rings or a mix. What a cool option. They seasoned the meat perfectly and it was very tasty. The one drawback that kept me from giving a 5 star review - the chef last night was on a rare kick. I asked for medium, my wife asked for well and then some. Both came out beyond rare (I would classify this as a browning on both sides of the steaks and then serving). We did send one back and it was promptly fixed. Overall, it was a great experience with a small hiccup. Certainly won't prevent me from going back! read more

Im not sure how this place has a 4 star rating. Although there was only one gal that was both server and bartender, she simply was not friendly and at times appeared annoyed despite our smiles. I can handle a persons off day but regarding the food: I've had steaks for less than ten dollars that were better. We added the shrimp on and there is no doubt it was low end frozen grocery store bought. The salad wasnt terrible but I dont understand the tortilla strips and croutons being the only toppings. I could continue but my point has been made. I would not give this place a second chance. read more

One of my all time favorite haunts. Every time I go in here is a pleasant experience. Every single bartender has the perfect balance of hospitable and sassy (but in a fun way!) Excellent place to grab a bite and have a few drinks. read more

You want a steak? They've got steaks. They've got porter houses, rib eyes and pretty much everything in between. Now that O-H's has closed, the spots to get a decent piece of beef in Humboldt County are getting fewer and further between. To satisfy our carnivorous urges, my wife and I went down to the AA Bar & Grill and ordered two sirloin steaks and some gin & tonics to help wash them down. It had been about 3 years since I'd had eaten a steak, even longer for my wife. Needless to say, we were able to put away maybe 1/3 of our portions while the elderly folks next to us wolfed their porter houses (twice the size of our sirloins, mind you) in about half the time we did. I'm guessing the trio were a bunch of old pros when it comes to steak enjoyment and they certainly showed us what's what. I especially admire them for smothering their steak in the horse radish dipping sauce that accompanied the fine cuts of beef. The atmosphere of the place: Sports bar meets steak house. Service is superb and the bigger the cut of meat you get, the more respect you earn from the other patrons. Oh yeah, they've got pork and chicken, too. read more

Holy cow - awesome find. 16 oz ribeye with nice char on it - salad - baked potato and Anderson valley boonT amber. Wife had the same. Super chill place. Great staff and lots of locals. DoooooIT. read more

Just tried Sunday breakfast for the first time. SOO good! We will definately be back to try lunch and dinner.

Best steaks in Eureka. The atmosphere can be pretty loud so don't expect to be able to have in-depth conversation. Go for the great steak, great drinks and friendly staff! read more

Horrible layout for a bar and grill, we waited to be seen for several minutes before we decided to leave since nobody bothered to ask us if we needed any help. Tables weren't cleaned off and the place just seemed filthy. Had high hopes from the reviews, it's too bad we couldn't try it out. From one bar owner to another, you should think about getting a bigger space with better help that can do a better job at multitasking. read more

Went there for breakfast and already the bar had several patrons and it was decently busy in general. Kind of like 80% dive bar and 20% steakhouse, which is fine by me. I really like the vibe here especially considering it wasn't even 11am. Some good beer on tap and a really good and spicy bloody Mary got me ready for breakfast. The chicken fried steak was fantastic, perfectly fried and pounded until completely tender, with delicious gravy on top. Over medium eggs were cooked perfect. Hash browns were pretty average and typical but by no means bad, who doesn't love fried potatoes? Biscuit was a little dense and not flaky at all, but had good flavor and was made better by dowsing it in that gravy. Overall a really good breakfast at a really decent price. Would love to try out the lunch and/or dinner menu sometime. read more

Fabulous food and great service. The steaks are fantastic. They also play great music. Don't let the outside or the location fool you. This bar and grill is my favorite. Clean restrooms too! read more

This is my second rating for this location but this time for dinner. This is an old school Bar and Grill. A large group came here on a Tuesday night and the place was packed. We called ahead for reservations. There was one girl tending bar waiting tables and she kept everybody happy and the drinks flowing. Some ordered steaks and others ordered Fried Chicken and fish and chips. The fried foods were heavily battered and would not recommend ordering them again the steaks were really good. The mac and cheese balls were really good and those I would recommend ordering. I still give this place a four stars for the old school feel, great drinks and good steaks. I would definitely say come back for breakfast and Bloody Marys read more

Lived in this area for 10 years and finally made it to the AA today. So damn good!! Excellent cuts of meat. Friendly and prompt staff. Highly recommend. read more

AA Bar & Grill - Steakhouses Near Me - Eureka, California

Came here because the yelp reviews were good. I'm not sure what experience others have had but I am completely disappointed. It was a Friday night and was pretty busy. The service was horrendous, It took 25 minutes (I counted and had started looking for something else) before someone ask for a drink order. Then we were told we'd have to wait to order food. It took another 30 minutes before they came for a food order. The waitress didn't come to the table once other than to take the food order and drop off food. She didn't one ask if we needed anything else. It looked like the manager was standing at the end of the bar while the waitress was playing on her phone. We even had to go ask for our bill. I ordered the porterhouse, it was below average for my experience. For the $40 price tag I would have expected a steak I could have eaten more the 65% of. There were so many pieces I couldn't chew through I had to leave the other 35%. The sweet potato fries were okay. That was the only side. For $40 I would have expected more. My friend had the fish and said it was pretty good. I'm would definitely not come here again if I lived in the area. I can make the same amount of sirloin strip far superior to the porterhouse from here for less than 1/5 the price. Maybe this is good for the area but I feel like I wasted a lot of money on a very poor experience. read more

It goes without saying and must be said simultaneously Brittney makes customer service feel more like family (WARNING forget to say please and thank you and you'll only ever reach little brother status) all while handling a room full of customers. Here's the catch- don't let her bring you sour cream, get Kim with a Y to do it. read more

Sat at the bar for 10 minutes and was ignored by what I can only imagine was the owner who was making himself a cocktail And then drank it in front of me. Was never offered a drink after 10 minutes so I left. Smelled great but I just didn't feel welcome at all. read more

Brittany and Wendy are so much fun! The atmosphere was great and everyone was incredibly friendly. We will definitely stop back in when we are in the area. Thanks girls!!! read more

Jessica knows my order I go every week. Great service. Good food and selection of drinks

We were recommend to AA by the hotel staff when we stayed in Eureka. Was not expecting a dive bar when we arrived but we wanted to try out these famous steaks. The steaks were absolutely amazing..mouthwatering and drinks were large and strong! read more

This place is good at drinks! They make em stiff. If you are drunk enough you won't get as pissed when the wait staff treats you like crap and the steak comes out raw. But hey if that's your kinda thing then it's your kinda place. read more

Holy shit. Cras and caring comfort food. Lots of brash and sassy service. Full bar and a spot out back to smoke a cigar. I'm in love. In a word.... Real. read more

The Dude totally abides with the AA. We went to the AA by a couple of local recommendations. Even a bartender in Arcata said AA was the best steak and cocktails in Eureka. The place is seriously more bar than grill, but if you enjoy eating at the bar, like we do, it doesn't get any better. Simple menu board, AWESOME prices, sassy ( yet friendly) servers, and cool local crowd all combine to make this the best place in town! The ribeyes hung over the platter, we finished them the next day using a plastic picnic knife.Yum! 700+ miles away, but I will return! read more
