I met some friends here for lunch and it was great. We all took advantage of the daily lunch specials for $13 from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. I had the Eureka American Burger and upgraded to sweet potato fries instead of the signature fries. My friends all had the fish and chips and one ordered the fried pickles. Other lunch specials included al pastor fish tacos, poke bowl, salmon Caesar salad, blackened shrimp tacos, and a grilled chicken club sandwich. Everything was wonderful including our server Abel who was very kind and accommodating. My friends had been here before and raved about it. It's definitely worth a visit. read more

Came for happy hour and apparently everyone else had the same idea. It was pretty busy, so service was a little slow, but we still enjoyed ourselves. We ordered the chicken nachos, Brussels sprouts, and lychee martinis. The nachos were really good and super filling! They came piled high with a hefty portion of toppings, so definitely great for sharing. The lychee martini was also really good. Refreshing and not overly sweet. There is a parking lot, but it's on the smaller side and fills up pretty quickly, especially during happy hour. Overall, great location, good happy hour bites, and I'd definitely come back for that lychee martini! read more

We had a disappointing experience here. The food took a very long time to arrive, and when it did, it was completely cold. We brought this up to our waitress, she took it off our bill of course, but wasn't going to figuring out why it happened or how to redeem the experience. Probably best to sit at the bar to not be forgotten. Unfortunately, because of this we will not be returning. Sucks bc the food is good! Not when it's cold tho. Sad about this... service used to be good, what happened? Good food+poor management= bad experience, cold food, long waits.. read more

I moved to LA 7 years ago from San Diego and will admit Eureka was one of our favorite places to grab a burger down in San Diego. I would go here specifically for the Bone Marrow Burger and I can report. It's just as delicious today as it was all those years ago. This location is located right near SpaceX down in Hawthorne and can get quite busy. There is a small free parking lot attached in front otherwise street parking is not that difficult to find. Our server was extremely polite and everything that we ordered came out very fast. This restaurant is fairly large. There is a full bar and many different size tables available. One cool thing is that you have views of the private runway and all the planes and helicopters. Makes for a fun experience. I always order the same thing when I come to Eureka and this time was no different. I start off with the Mac & Cheese Balls, which were great and I got the main star of the show which was the Bone Marrow Burger. It's a personal favorite of mine and I would recommend adding avocado to it to make it that perfect bite. I would highly recommend this spot for a great casual option for lunch or dinner with friends or family. It's not quite a date spot, it's much more casual and it's definitely worth the trip. read more

Came in for lunch on a Saturday. When I Yelp checked for restaurants in this area I was pleasantly surprised to find one on the runway of Hawthorne Airport! I simply ADORE a private airport lounge/restaurant! Eureka was wonderful! The first person "greeting" us didn't seem too thrilled to be there, but I was excited enough for the both of us. No matter, as soon as we were seated, a nice guy came over and introduced himself and gleefully agreed with my excitement for the runway location. David (Z) asked if he could get any drinks started while we looked at the menu and made himself available for any questions, but otherwise encouraged us to relax and enjoy the view. We decided to each get a burger, but I was torn. There was a Wagyu Umami Melt Burger as a featured plate of the month, but the Fresno Fig, a burger w/fig marmalade, creamy goat cheese, bacon, red onion & arugula sure sounded tasty. David said the Fresno Fig was a personal favorite, but the monthly specials are limited burger combos. I went with the Umami. It was SO GOOD! The mushroom and red onions were so tender the provolone slightly melted and the Wagyu was tender. I wish the meat would've had some seasoning added, but I've noticed most places don't season the beef. The bun was a soft, yummy brioche. The fries were REALLY GOOD! Perfectly crispy outside, but a fluffy potato center. Served in a metal cup on the side keeps the fries nice and warm. The view was what I was excited for and I was very happy with my seat next to the window facing the runway. One Cessna was practicing take offs/landings and then a PJ showed up to whisk some VIP away. *sigh* Maybe someday I'll get to see the view of Eureka from that PJ.... Cheers! "CC" read more

20.5 stars for the service! 3.5 stars for the food. I tried the Mac n cheese balls, fried pickles, and the double smash burger (which was more like two small sliders on a large bun.) The food was okay. Nothing that I tried was awful, but nothing would make me rush to return. If I'm in the area, I'd probably stop by for happy hour to try something else. Btw the mimosa flight and variety of juice flavors was perfect. Casual bar vibes, nice playlist and again, the service was fantastic. Our server Mateo in particular was outstanding! Free parking lot is very small and has the potential to fill up quick. There has to be more parking around, I just didn't see it. read more

Blink and you'll drive past! Tucked in next to a small airport and next to the big Space X building. This is a great spot to come for happy hour with friends. It is by the airport so expect some loud engine noises and it can get a little loud with everyone talking at once but not the worst. Food is traditional American fare, burgers, sandwiches and salads. I will say I wasn't a fan of the sweet potato fries when I ordered; they were mostly soggy and not salted. They have a lot more variety with their drink menu, which all tasted amazing and deliciously strong. Service was good. Waitress was pretty attentive in making sure we ordered in time for happy hour and friendly enough. Will come back again to enjoy happy hour. read more

2nd time trying this place. Much better I must say. Food was yummy and light. Service was very slow though. We ordered a salad , appetizer and kids chicken bites. A beer alone took over 10 minutes. Place was not too busy. I did enjoy the view of the planes. Just note that this restaurant is very small. read more

I've been to this Eureka location several times. It's near my office, so it's usually my go-to spot for lunch meetings or team retreats. It's a tasting menu restaurant, so some items rotate, which is pretty cool. Some of my favorite items to order: Salmon kale salad: I didn't see this on the menu during my recent visit, but I really enjoyed it before. It was tasty and I just wish the salmon portion was a bit bigger. Jalapeño bacon jam burger: I ordered this on my last visit. It was my first time trying a burger here, and I'm glad I did. Super tasty and loved the sweet and salty combo. Sweet potato fries: Crispy, sweet, and delicious. I'm not a fan of the dipping sauce they come with, so I just use ketchup. Mac & cheese balls: Really good. Crispy on the outside with creamy mac and cheese inside. If you're going to order an appetizer, I would suggest this. Truffle fries w/ cheese sauce: Very tasty, and the cheese sauce is great. Last time, I even used it to dip my jalapeño jam burger--so good! I'm not really a fan of their drinks. On my last visit, I ordered the sweet peach iced tea, but it lacked peach flavor. Customer service is hit or miss. During my last visit, it was a miss. Our waitress was friendly, but she only checked on us once. read more

Had a great first experience at Eureka. Parking was easy, the location had plenty of seating, nice view of the airport and was very clean. Service was superb and yes the food was delicious. The wings were salad, the burger was so flavorful and the cocktails were fantastic. They didn't rush us as we stayed watching the game that night. Almost got dessert but was too stuffed after having the savory items and cocktails. Definitely want to go back to try another burger, but this time with sweet potato fries and definitely some dessert! read more

Had a great time at Eureka's on Friday!!! The smash burger was tender and seasoned well! The lavender tea with a shot of sweetness was delicious! The staff were nice and what made the experience even better was the live dee Jay music from 3-6pm!. You have to pay for parking and there is no validation but it was worth the good time and fun ambiance. read more

This place has a really unique vibe. At first, it almost feels like it's only for people using the Hawthorne Municipal Airport, not like your typical restaurant open to the general public--even though it is. Once you're seated, you get a great view of the runway, with small planes and helicopters right behind you, which makes the whole experience feel different in a good way. The crowd was also interesting--despite the menu being more casual (burgers, wings, salads, fish & chips, etc.), the clientele felt very upscale. It's the kind of place where you see well-dressed people, pilots, or folks who look like they fly private. Meanwhile, I showed up in shorts and sandals after a Target run, which made the contrast kind of funny. Now, the food--honestly excellent. I had a burger, truffle fries, and Brussels sprouts, and everything was a solid 9/10. Really flavorful and well done. The service was also great--attentive, friendly, and nothing to complain about. Overall, I really enjoyed the experience. It feels like you're dining at an airport without the chaos--more relaxed, with a cool atmosphere and surprisingly really good food at reasonable prices. Definitely a spot I'd come back to. read more

This place was better than I thought it would be for a corporate chain- our waitress was kind. The only downside and the reason for no five stars is the wait was ridiculous, proper expectations were not set when you "put your name down." we did go prior to a Forrest Frank concert so they were busier than expected. However, living so close to an arena, you should probably have an itinerary of events to prepare for busier evenings. read more

Our office is less than a mile from Eureka, and we recently ordered lunch for our team of 7. Everything traveled well. The burger was excellent, the fried chicken sandwich stayed crispy and flavorful, the steak salad was fresh, and the Brussels sprouts were delicious, which isn't always the case with delivery. They included plenty of napkins and utensils for everyone, and the containers were sturdy, practical, and made it easy to store leftovers in the office refrigerator. Made setup and clean up a breeze for us. We ordered several other items that everyone enjoyed, but those were the standouts. We love eating there and this was our first time getting delivery. Wish they would deliver Old Fashions. read more

Ambiance: it's a bar restaurant located in the corner sport, close to freeway and near space x, spacious dining room inside, comfortable sofa seats, they have outdoor patio seating as well, the establishment is partially under construction, and you have to go outside to use the mobile restrooms Service: friendly but so slow, they're understaffed, it took a long wait to place the order, waiter forgot to serve plates, food was served fairly fast after ordering, but unfortunately another long wait to get the bill in the end Food & Drink: their menu has plenty of bar food options Ahi Poke Stack - **** black rice, soy sauce, guacamole, firecracker aioli, furikake, green onion, Fresno chiles, sesame ginger vinaigrette, served with wonton chips, undercooked rice, overall taste was good, still recommend 28 Day Dry-Aged Bone Marrow - **** bone marrow shiitake butter, grilled onion, horseradish mustard aioli, roasted tomato, patty cooked medium, charcoal flavors, recommend Signature Fries - ** taste old and too soggy Orange Wheat Beer - **** citrus taste, recommend Palmera Pilsner - *** average One For Good Measure - *** strong Pfeiffer's Famous Lager - *** light Price: moderate portions and decent quality, expect $30~$35 per person for food and drink read more

I do understand mistakes happen but to take my birthday dinner and spit on it for the last 30 minutes is not the way to handle their mistakes. They needed more seating so they thought they would ask me and my friend to move to a new table as we had finished the mediocre food and was simply waiting on the birthday cake. The manager said they made a mistake, so I agreed to take the birthday cake to go. But it took another 30 minutes to get the one piece of cake. Then the host comes to ask us to move as if we didn't already say we'll take birthday cake to go then this host leaves out slamming the door. The management sucks. They don't pass the stress test. And to think I chose this place to bring my friends and celebrate me. I learned a lot. They read the email and asked me to send it to GM directly. I attached his response. #WorldCup2026 #theynotready read more

Parking can be hard to find so prepare accordingly. The food is very good but very expensive. Portions are small due to inflation. The service is very good and the waitress actually smiles.

Been there many times over the years. Their menu has expanded and changed. Today I got the Fresno Fig burger. It was delicious. I had the lavender ice tea, also good. I guess I will have to make that my new drink since their charcoal lemonade is no longer on the menu. Their onion rings were fried perfectly. Please bring back the following items on the menu: Charcoal lemonade Poke salad Our server,Mia, was nice and friendly. Good place to chill and watch planes flying overhead read more

Really 3.5. Went with a small group and they had a deal on the burger and fries. Both were really good but ask for extra sauce for the fries. Adding bacon makes it so much better. Alcohol selection is decent and some different options out there to try. Service was the bad factor. I mean it's bad when you have to call over the manager/owner to get water and ketchup because your waiter disappeared somewhere. Not a good look there. Even had to give the check to someone at the bar to leave. But, I would come back for the food. Happy hour starts at 3pm but we got there before but if that's your vibe, check it out. read more

After leaving feedback, the General Manager, Eddie, reached out personally, acknowledged that the upcharge should have been communicated, and let me know he'd be using it as a coaching opportunity for his team.

We stopped by for early dinner and when we checked in we had an estimated 35 min wait, turned out to be close to 50 min wait. This place gets crowded, so be patient. Once we finally got seated we ordered our food and more wait to get our drinks and food. Our server apologized for the wait a few times. The burger was cooked perfectly, super tasty and the fries were crunchy. The nachos were meh, hardly had any chicken which was an additional charge. The old fashioned was strong and the watermelon water was flavorful. Parking is limited, they have a 2hour limit sign, not sure how they enforce it. We ended having to park around the building for a small fee, first hour is free. read more

Food wise, Eureka is pretty solid. But, if you order them through a food delivery service you're order is going to messed up. Either your order is wrong or items are flat out missing, which is super frustrating and sadly pretty consistent. read more

Friendly establishment. Burgers are okay, my son ordered their Americana, and I ordered their Bison. I couldn't finish my Bison burger because it was way too sweet. Restaurant is small, gets crowded and noisy. We wanted to sit outside due to the level of noise, but restaurant said it was already too late and the outside area was closed. Not sure if I'll return, maybe if someone invites me and they pay lol I'll give something else from the menu a try. Hard pass on the burgers. read more

I came here on a Friday night for a late dinner and a beer with my boyfriend. The place wasn't too crowded so we were seated right away, which was nice even on a game day. We wanted to sit on that patio but they said the heater wasn't working so we opted for inside. It was loud with all the tvs on for the game, but we were alright with it. Service was pretty quick and we each got a beer, some apps, and split the buffalo burger. Everything was delicious! My only negatives were the high prices and that the Ahi Poke Stack was more than half rice. I didn't expect that for the price. The burger was delicious, came with fries, and was perfectly cooked. My biggest critique is the bathroom situation. I thought restaurants were required to have bathrooms, but when my boyfriend asked the hostess where it was, he was directed outside in the parking lot and around the building to a disgusting stinky portapotty. It completely turned off his appetite. I will honestly think twice about coming to this location again just because of that. There are plenty of restaurants nearby where you don't have to use a dirty portapotty in the parking lot. read more

Exceptional service is not common and Mateo proved exactly why it should be. On April 11, my friend and I had the pleasure of being served by Mateo, and the experience was nothing short of outstanding. What set him apart was not just attentiveness, but intention. Before anything even began, he took the initiative to ask about preferences, substitutions, and allergies, ensuring everything was aligned with our needs from the start. That level of awareness and professionalism is rare. It reflects someone who understands that service is not just about taking orders, it is about creating an experience. To complement that, the food exceeded expectations. We ordered entirely from the happy hour menu and every item delivered. Quality, flavor, and presentation were all on point. Everything flowed seamlessly. No pressure, no gaps, no missed details. Just consistent, high-level service from beginning to end. If more establishments operated at this standard, the customer experience across the board would be elevated. Mateo represents what true customer service should look like. Highly recommended and greatly appreciated. read more
