Great service from Shaneika! Truffle fries and Brussels sprouts are divine. Very accommodating of gluten free needs.

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

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

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

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

Whether you're grabbing a drink after work, meeting friends, watching the game, or just want a laid‑back place with good food and better energy, Eureka! always delivers. 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

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

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 was able to book for a large group of 10 a reservation on a Saturday early afternoon. The service was great and our waitress was patient and attentive. They pointed out their Saturday deal which was $13 for a mimosa flight. It was well worth it, I loved all the unique flavors! I ordered the double smash burger lettuce wrapped and it was ok, wish the burger was a bit more seasoned. The fries were really good! Great deals for lunch, definitely check it out! read more

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

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

Eureka! - IPA beer on happy hour - American Near Me - Hawthorne, California

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

On our way to college drop off, we stopped for a bite! We were happy to be seated immediately. Kiah was friendly, and the overall service was on point and efficient. We had a great experience. Eureka has a vibrant ambiance, with a well-stocked bar and truly delicious food. The interior has a cool, industrial-chic vibe. The food presentation was beautiful, matching the quality of the taste. We had the Crispy Glazed Brussels Sprouts, which were perfectly crunchy and had an addictive orange-chile glaze - I will definitely order again. The Pork Belly Bites were equally impressive, moist, and full of savory flavor. My daughter's Double Smash Burger was a very tasty; cooked perfectly, it was juicy, rich, and a complete flavor bomb. The lively atmosphere and unique setting make it the perfect spot for a casual date night or a fun meal with friends. We will visit again! read more

Eureka is a solid local burger spot right next to the Hawthorne private airport, and it's one of my go-to places for happy hour. They've got a nice chargrilled-style burger and fries combo for $14, plus solid cocktail and beer specials during HH (3-6 pm & 9-close). Burger & Fries ($14): The burger has that perfect smoky char flavor and comes with a generous portion of fries. I like to upgrade to the sweet potato fries for an extra $3--they're crispy, lightly seasoned, and come with a cinnamon and honey drizzle that's addicting. Atmosphere & Service: The vibe inside feels like a mix between a local sports bar and a historic airport lounge, with TVs and aviation-themed decor. The service is pretty standard--friendly and efficient without being overbearing. Overall, Eureka is a great casual spot to grab a drink, enjoy some good food, or just unwind. Being less than 15 minutes from LAX, it's also a convenient pit stop before or after a flight. read more

Eureka... I almost met my end via steak and frites. Ordered through Uber Eats, and at first everything was perfect. The food smelled amazing, the fries were still crispy, and I was fully prepared to leave a glowing 5-star review. Then halfway through my steak, I felt something brush the back of my tongue. I thought maybe it was a rogue fry--nope. I started pulling, and suddenly it was like Rapunzel had decided to move into my entrée. This hair was long. It just kept coming, wrapped around my tongue like some culinary jump rope. I nearly choked trying to get it out while simultaneously questioning my life choices. One second I'm enjoying dinner, the next I'm in a full-on medieval fairy tale gone wrong. The tragic part? The food itself was actually delicious. But it's hard to appreciate perfectly cooked steak when you're flossing with mystery DNA. read more

We love eating at Eureka! It's my kids favorite place as well. Their Mac and cheese balls are bomb. As many times I have been to Eureka I can't help myself but to order Jalapeño Egg burger with sunny side egg. My husband likes Spicy fried chicken sandwich. He has also tried 28 day dry aged bone marrow sandwich but didn't enjoy it. It was lacking flavor and was underwhelming. Their drinks are great and my favorite is "The Floor is Lava". Kids enjoy their Eureka American and Bison Burger. read more

We decided to try this place again, but sometimes you just have to trust your first impression. First time was dine-in. Service and food just mediocre. Drinks so so, nothing impressive. But an ok experience. We decided to try take out this time. DON'T! Just, don't! I ordered two Seared Salmon entrees, one with corn the other green beans and both fingerling potatoes. First, my order was wrong. They gave me one item I didn't even order, although I ordered two of the same items. I have no idea what genius messed that up. But, even the salmon plate received was only partially correct, missing an entire vegetable side. And, I do not know what day or week they cooked the fingerling potatoes, but they were burnt and hard like jerky. So, the only thing edible was the tiny sliver of salmon. Not worth the almost $30 plate. Not going again. read more
