    Mimosa flight
    Tosha L.

    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.

    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. The ambiance or atmosphere is pretty cool since you're next to an airport. Most of the people that dine there are from Space X across the street. Enjoy.

    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.

    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.

    Jalapeno jam burger w/ sweet potato fries

    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.

    Eureka! has become my go‑to spot in the Hawthorne/North South Bay area. They've got everything you want in a neighborhood hangout--daily happy hours, a full bar, solid burgers, and a really good beer menu. The crowd is always diverse and the vibe stays easygoing no matter when you go. I've been here numerous times, and it's consistently reliable. 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.

    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.

    My husband and I go to place every time we carve burger and steak and we don't want to drive da. It's very convenient! A literally 2 min drive from our house. Food is great! We love it

    Americana with Mac and cheese balls. Bison cheeseburger with fries.
    Sheryl J.

    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.

    Happy hour was a good deal! Staff was friendly. I liked the atmosphere, hoping to see more planes take off and land but i probably needed to come at a different time for that.

    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

    Plenty of parking on the plaza…read more Came on a weekday night during Happy Hour. Place was packed. Ambiance was nice. Music was extremely loud, had to yell to have a conversation. Waiters kept checking on us. Got the mild Buffalo Wings for $14 and Parmesan Fries for $6. The wings were good. The Parmesan Fries were really good, they didn't skimped on the Parmesan.

The interior is neat and clean. There are various types of seating (bar; table; booth; high-tops; communal), and plenty of screens to watch sports. On this occasion, I ordered the Tavern Fish & Chips ($22). It is described as "Alaskan cod coated in a tempura beer batter and served with French fries, tartar sauce and yuzu herb coleslaw". The positives of this dish are that it was prepared well. Both the fish and chips tasted good. The presentation was also nice; which leads to the coleslaw: The coleslaw tasted good, too; but I was surprised the serving was so spare. It's almost as if it was served just to optically balance the presentation in the basket. (See photo shared,) And while the price was not unreasonable, feel it's creeping towards expensive (relative to serving size). I'll attribute this to rising input costs. Staffing might be an issue during the lunchtime service. Service was okay, but they seemed to be understaffed. It's possible that most of their business is done after 5pm.

Known as a steakhouse the prime ribs looked really mouth watering...even for myself who doesn't eat meat....I had the Salmon Filet and it was actually cooked really well and I would definitely get it again.... Service was pretty good even though the place as busy they were able to help us out the majority of the time.... Everything came out good for the whole party and no complaints about the food at all... The restaurant itself is old and the inside shows it....but that is part of the classic ambiance at the restaurant.... It is difficult to maneuver through and they utilized the space inside very well...I thought it was a small restaurant looking a it from the outside but it actually can hold a good amount of people. Maybe get better bread knives is my only complaint....it was hard to cut the sourdough easily with the knives given.... Definitely recommend this place to anybody who likes steak/prime rib/even salmon.... By the way I passed it on the first drive by because the parking entrance is just before the restaurant and 1 way meaning if a car is coming out you can't fit another car to come in....but if you go around the residential area you can pull in from the side street before going back on Sepulveda...

This is basically a high quality oven roasted rib eye steak. If you crave Prime Rib, what makes this a good meal is it comes with bread, soup and a baked potato and the cut comes in 3 sizes to choose from. The service is friendly and fast and this is family styled, no dress code nor any frills of ambiance. It's like a bar lounge with karaoke in the front and formal (casual) dining in the back Parking is easy, but remember this... If driving down Sepulveda and the Sam Franciscan is going to be on your right side... then the parking lot you want to pull into is on your right side BEFORE the San Franciscan yellow sign. If you pass it and pull into the next lot, it locks you in and does not connect to the restaurant and you'll then need to turn around pull out then get back onto Sepulveda, turn right onto Crenshaw and then reach the San Franciscan parking lot from the back or if confused you get back onto Sepulveda from there and try to park again and not miss the correct parking position of their parking lot.

I love me some ginger fried chicken so that was good and the fried wontons were also good with some sweet & sour sauce. This was served buffet style, inside. The main dinner consisted of a buffet table in the back patio with many food choices. They were Hawaiian chicken salad, jap chae noodles, green bean salad, kalbi, panko breaded fish, teri chicken & kalua pork. I had most of the offerings and they were good. Some of the kalbi was undercooked so some at our table didnt indulge in that. Understandable. Service was good. Our drinks were refilled, place settings taken away when we were done and the 2 ladies that were serving checked on us often to make sure we had everything we needed. We appreciated that. The servers were great. There are mostly booths and some tables inside. And there is more tables outside that can handle the longer tables. A handful of parking spots in their private lot or street parking is available. Street parking is free.
