Incredible grass-fed steaks in a bar with fresh draft drinks and the most wonderful vibe! We came in on a Sunday evening after a recommendation from Carter House Inn; our party of 4 got the ribeye steaks and WOW. AMBIANCE: Our party of four grabbed some open bar seats and we were acknowledged immediately for our drink orders and also kindly pointed out the chalkboard menus for our food choices. We all went with the ribeye steaks which came with a salad or soup and also a side of fries or baked potato or onion rings. The U-shaped bar was very cool and the screens on the walls showed either the games that were on, or something easy to watch like TheChive TV or Family Feud. FOOD: The flavor of the steaks (16 oz ribeyes!) are amazing and deeply meaty, the texture is tender and if you go for the gorgonzola butter, honestly takes the steak to the next level. If you're not a fan of blue cheese, the included horseradish sauce cuts through the fattiness of the steak if you need it. We chatted with Ariel and she mentioned that the meat is cut in-house which may affect the quality and hey, if so it really does matter. The doneness of the steaks were perfect. It's rare (ha) to have a place make a true medium rare and this place certainly does it right. Honestly one of the best steaks I've had and I've had Ruth Chris or Nick and Stef's - this place wins every time! SERVICE: We were traveling with folks from out of town and everyone was super kind and welcoming. Ariel helped describe how our steaks came from and really made us feel at home on top of our flavor adventure. PS: My stoic father in law is really big on health foods so when he found out everything was grass-fed he ate with gusto and was really impressed with the taste too. So thanks for representing American steak, AA Bar & Grill! Awesome. Would love to come again and will recommend to friends in the area for sure. read more

We stopped by this place while picking up our daughter from Cal Poly humble, a few of the locals recommended it and I gotta say it did not disappoint! The food was delicious and the portions were huge!! There's no one under 21 allowed since it is a bar/grill but we had no problem with that! The atmosphere is really chill and mid light so is a relaxing nice place. read more

Get there early or you will have to wait for a table. Of course you can eat at the bar. This old friend was still standing after all these years. Good to know this place has not changed. Great service. read more

A lot needed to go better for me to let the service slide. When the name on your check is Night Shift Manager like some 70s serial killer, somehow I feel like they know there's a problem. she kept explaining why she would not be taking our order yet. Take drink order. Bring one drink. Come back for next drink. Not take food order. Ask if you wanted food. Drop off place settings. Not take food order. Finally take food order. Took 30 minutes for an 8 oz filet min on and a 16 oz ribeye. Thankfully we'd eaten most of it before the disgusting pigs sat down next to us at the bar and belched loudly nonstop. She actually asked if they wanted another round though they were clearly wasted only an hour after they'd opened. Idk where you can day drink that long to get that drunk in Eureka, but there they were, about to throw up in our laps after a couple of market price steaks, and Night Shift Manager wanted to get them another round of PBR. Not kidding. Check. Two pigs came in a little before 6pm to loudly belch over PBR in a "steakhouse". So, you know. Plan your night. Don't bring a date. Or think it will be quiet when they open. Again, the food took over a half hour and we came in when they opened for dinner service. read more

Ck my old review. Keep cigarette fumes out of restaurant, I've live in Eureka 25years, craved a good BBQ steak. Went to AA steaks after waiting15years. Walked in stinkl knocked me back but I wanted "the best" steak that bad. They don't have Pepsi. Ordered a burger thought it would be faster. I was starving.Yetting sick by the minute from the toxic fumes coming in the opened door. Took most of burger home. Was SICK for more than a week from the poisonios toxic cigarette fumes. I'm still craving a great steak but can't go back in there. I have spots on my lungs "not cancer yet" haven't ever smoked in my 71 years. It's because of places/people like this everywhere in Humboldt. Wish I could give zero stars. read more

AA has great brunch, lunch, and dinner! Really fun vibe, friendly staff, and a good place to hangout. The fish & chips for dinner are my absolute favorite, though their steaks really are some of the best. Try their cheesecake too- it's AMAZING! :) read more

AA Bar & Grill - Fish & chips and 1/2 onion rings 1/2 fries - Steakhouses Near Me - Eureka, California

The horseshoe bar fills the establishment with small dinner tables around the edge. The walls are decorated with several menus, neon signs and large TVs. Low lighting and friendly staff make the excellent food taste even better. I ate the crunchiest fish and chips and everything else was delicious too. I'd definitely recommend the AA (alcoholics anonymous? All American?). read more

Excellent steak dinner & good cocktails. Will definitely be back sometime soon! Service was also quick with quite a few people in the bar.

Stopped here while driving through on a road trip. The moment you walk in the vibe is friendly and welcoming. Waitress was super nice. Delicious rib eye and baked potato was especially delicious after a long day of driving. Loved it so much I'd go out of my way to pass through Eureka just to stop here again! read more

Food is sub par. Your better off going to Costco and buying some new Yorks and grilling them yourselves. I ordered rib eye and cheese cake. Never got the desert waited over 40 minutes so the dinner went cold. Waste of 60 bucks. read more

Loved the food and all the waitresses except one which we mostly get. This waitress puts our drinks on the bar and tells us to come and get them. Not a fan of the menus written on the walls. read more

The service is usually great even when they are packed but I have been rushed through their dinner service once. I've ordered steak on a few occasions and it arrived well done twice when I asked for it medium cooked. When the steak is cooked correctly it's very good. read more

Not enough words to describe the amazing food and service we received by Kim and Dena at this bar. It came recommended by our hotel manager, who mentioned even if it is a dive bar, it is frequented by the local police department so it's safe, and the food they prepare is organic meat. I have never had such a good steak dinner! If they go national, they would put Chris Ruth out of business!!!! read more

Options for a steak in Eureka are not widespread and don't need to be with Double A. Had my first dinning out experience at AA coming out of lockdowns in 2020. I remember how nice it was to have a bartender pour a drink and eat at the bar. So didn't understand what we took for granted before that time. Went there for the 2nd time this past month and expecting to see the sticker shock that we are all slowly becoming accustomed down in the Bay Area, I was shocked to see the prices. $35 for a 16oz Ribeye is unheard of, thought when I entered the bar I was transported back in time. This dive bar may serve the best steak in the county. Bartenders are fun, the crowd is friendly and everyone is there for good drinks, good steak and good time. If you walk away hungry after the pound of steak, fully loaded baked potato and salad, then have your doctor check you for tapeworms, because I had the meat sweats for an hour after. Must visit place if you are in Eureka, but leave the kids at the hotel, because it is still a bar and under 21 not admitted. read more

I sat at the bar, nobody said anything to me for at least 5 mins & it wasn't busy in there TO ME (I work in the club scene so that shit was dead to me ) it was maybe 10 ppl at the bar so bartender finally says hey because a Caucasian guy sits down next to me and she says hey would you like something to drink I said no I would like to order food only I don't drink alcohol ( I saw the good steaks on yelp but she ruined my appetite ) so then she says there's a few orders ahead of you ! I'm like ok idk why you can't take my order tho but ok so I'm just sitting there and here goes 2 white ladies that come Sit to my right and she immediately took there food order so I just nicely got my purse and left & immat Adels & there very nice ! I don't advice no black personal to visit this cracker teach while in the wall joint !!! Don't even know you just missed out on a big tip & customers cause I'll never in life visit this place & I hope other ppl don't either read more

We went 9 years ago and have thought of it ever since. Went back today and it did not disappoint. The ribeyes were as amazing as we remembered! read more

Enjoyable steaks and other Americana foods. If I was diagnosed with a life ending illness, I would dine here before surrendering myself to the diet of infermed. As I have grown older, I'm sure my cardiologist would agree with me, it'd be wiser to not dine here. Especially not with any frequency. However having the option to have a great steak with single malt scotch, without a dinner reservation, is not something you come across everyday. It's right next to the county jail and courthouse. I imagine lawyers and judges frequenting this place after a bad case or generally drinking there and regretting the life they chose. I understand they make a good cheese burger. read more

Do you want a steak and a stiff drink? Come here. Great steak, servers are nice, and a chill environment with 6 big flat screens.

Worst bartenders in town. Rude. Terrible service. Food socks. Don't go there. Would give no stars if possible.

5 stars. Came here based on a recommendation. Was not disappointed. Bartenders were great. Place was packed. Good place to grab a bite to eat and a few drinks. It's definitely a bar atmosphere. read more

I was worried going in, back great service and great juicy burgers. I'd go back any time I

We were told that this was one of the best places for steak in Eureka. We got there and it's small. VERY small. Maybe 6-7 tables and a huge bar. The waitress came over and took our order a very short while later we had our food. Everything was very tasty and cooked to perfection. We'll definitely be back. read more

AA Bar & Grill - Menu on the wall. - Steakhouses Near Me - Eureka, California

Rolled into Eureka late on a Tuesday night, flown into Oakland that morning, drove to a job site in Milpitas, then drove almost 6.5 hrs to Eureka. Checked into hotel and looked for somewhere close to get a late dinner. I had actually driven by A. A. Steakhouse on the way to hotel, so I deliberately looked them up and headed over about 1 mile away. My first impression was is it's a locals place and it was busy, a great indicator it's gonna be good! Full bar, menu's written on blackboards on the walls. Ordered an adult libation, fish and chips, soup and subbed the fries for a salad. It's late and I don't fair well sleeping after a heavy meal - I say this because this is a chop house and my skylarking of others steaks looked amazing. The girl who took my order was very friendly and accomidating. Soup was chicken dumpling and hot, salad was fresh and delicious. But, the fish was exceptional. We've all had fish and chips where the breading is large and the fish is shrunken back or it's just greasy and falling apart. This fish was hot, fresh and the breading was perfect. It if had been earlier in the evening, and I wasn't headed straight back to the hotel for a shower and bed, I'd have enjoyed another bowl of the chicken dumpling soup as dessert, it was that good. I don't get up this far often and my last time up here a year or so ago wasn't a positive experience. I will however gladly return to Eureka, if for no other reason then to revisit A. A. Steakhouse and actually eat something red, dead and corn feed! I'd highly recommend this establishment for great food, good music and friendly staff. read more

Best steak in Humboldt County. It's in a bar and outside of 20 or so stools at the bar, only 3 small tables. read more

I've been here three times now and each time the food tastes better. Great steaks at affordable prices. The service is top notch every time. It's also a great dive bar with quite a few beers on tap. Go there, you won't be disappointed! read more

Great steaks, super chill atmosphere. We felt at home here. Out waitress kept our glasses full. Highly recommend.

Wonderful ! I was told of this place by a friend who is a master foodie. We had the Rib Eye with Gorgonzola Butter and what a treat! The staff was great and enjoyed being there. I definitely recommend a visit. I'll definitely return on my next trip. read more

Usually make it by here at least once or twice a year for about 10 years. This last visit will be my last. Sent my well/medium well steak back because I ordered medium rare and the cook told me I was wrong my wife's fillet was overcooked as well. I recall the steaks being tender and full of flavor what happened? The I guess woman in charge/bartender spent more time smoking than working I felt sorry for the other woman working by herself while her coworker sat down with friends and had another cigarette. Oh yeah the fish and chips has gone for the ride downhill also. read more

AA Bar & Grill - Not medium rare chef(?)! - Steakhouses Near Me - Eureka, California

They really know how to prepare a great rib-eye!!! Highly recommend. Not fancy, but good food and friendly staff! read more

This is the best place in Humboldt to get a ribeye, in my opinion. My go-to is the ribeye, salad with their house dressing, and onion rings. Only issue I've had is that it gets busy around dinner time. You have to get there a little early and get your order in. Small place so seating is limited. read more

Let's be honest it's a dive bar. But, it's a good dive bar! Staff and customers are friendly and their food is really great! I recommend the lunch menu french dip. Although I've never had one, but their dinner menu steaks look great. read more

The steaks and wings are very good. The fries are terrible. The service is great, they do well with all but a few seats open. I won't go back because when I do eat fries, I like mine crispy. read more

I absolutely love the food here. They definitely have a true local feel, that being said, the locals are friendly. I love to stop by for a lunchtime burger and bloody. Hands down one of the fest hand pressed burger in town. The daytime staff are very friendly. Fast service and reasonably priced. Breakfast is also fantastic. If you want a steak, they do them large and perfect. Check out AA. They don't disappoint. read more

I was so excited to come here for dinner given the reviews. Came in around 8:40pm. We ordered a 30oz porterhouse rare. I should have brought our food scale since that is not 30oz. The good thing about the size is the quality was not great so we didn't Have to suffer much. read more
