i come here a lot and i don't know what the issue is but the last few encounters haven't been the best. i sat today between 15-20 mins and every single server passed me up didn't say anything to me at all. which is quite baffling 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

Delicious! The service was phenomenal and the food was so good! It was also packed in there and we had to wait a while. I would say the worst part about this location was the parking. Wish they offered valet. Other than that I'll be back 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

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

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

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

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

Ordered ahead of time online as me and my family were trying to have lunch together before my husband went into work. Unfortunately the only option was ordering through door dash. When we arrived our food wasn't ready, we asked the hostess if we could eat indoors after getting our order. She said they don't allow that but she would ask the manager.. and ofc they denied us a table as we paid ahead of time and needed the room for future guests who would be coming in to eat. What a fucking asshole. As if we weren't customers. It was our first time here and food was delicious but unfortunately we will never come back here again thanks to that Asshole. 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

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

I'm definitely coming back to Eureka for more food drinks and fun! read more

3.5 stars , five for service, three for food . We needed a relatively inexpensive place to host a party of 16, And this was Central for our various commutes. First and foremost, the service at this particular location was superb. Our table was well tended too and the service was perfect! We were allowed to bring in three birthday cakes, and we were not charged a cutting or service fee. We really appreciated that (we called ahead, and tipped extra). We arrived just at the tail end of happy hour and were able to take advantage of six appetizers and some of the first round of cocktails were also on the happy hour menu. We were there 3 hours and everybody enjoyed multiple cocktails and an entree. With tip, tax And plenty of food, we were out the door for $800. Though I eat meat, I would highly recommend the beet burger (I know, I thought it sounded disgusting as well, But it is amazing), everybody love the mac and cheese balls and especially the brussel sprouts. The marrow burger is delicious. There's a nice variety, this particular location is cozy inside with a great view of the private airport. There's a small lot in the front, parking in the back is steep at $15 but I understand because it's an airport. They have several locations. Not a bad place for in an expensive meal and Brew. read more

Eureka means I found it. The problem is I did not find it at this Eureka! The atmosphere is a casual sports bar like Experience this restaurant is hidden away on the airfield of the Hawthorne airport. They are some parking however is paid parking. We came for the food and was disappointed. I ordered the salmon, string beans, and puréed potatoes the salmon was too salty as though someone was using the salt to hide the age of the salmon. The string beans and potato purée were good. The highlight of the evening was the Ahi Tuna Poke stack. The service was adequate. read more

The food was fresh. The meat was quality and the food was delicious. The ambience is a mellow sports bar. I guess when there's no sports on the four TVs around the bar, it's lovely to watch the planes come in and out if it's a busy day if not, it's OK just to jive to the music and eat a yummy meal. I enjoyed it 100%. read more

Eureka! Is now on my list of one of my favorite spots! I came here with 3 of my friends for lunch and we were excited to try it based off all of the amazing reviews we saw. The restaurant was busy since it was popular but the staff were super nice and had no issue accommodating us on a table. The restaurant has an overall fun and modern vibe. It's the perfect location to catch a game since there are multiple tv's or to catch a drink and some food at if you are trying to head to a venue in the area. The menu is pretty extensive and literally had choices for anything you may be in the mood for. I got the grilled chicken sandwich which was absolutely delicious. I couldn't stop eating and finished my whole plate. I got to check out the happy hour menu which was great and I definitely plan on coming back to check it out. Take time to look at the planes outside and enjoy your visit, definitely recommend this place! read more

The happy hour here can't be beat. 3 cocktails to choose from for $8.50 each. 3 appetizers ($6-7) and a burger and fries ($12) The cocktails are generous and refreshing, I chose the spa day which was a cucumber margarita with a tajin rim and my husband chose the old fashioned. We were pretty early for our event so we both chose another drink, I shockingly ordered another spa day.. it's good I can't help it. My husband chose a $5 happy hour beer on a recommendation from our server. We shared the fried pickles, which I found salty but my husband devoured them. The Mac n cheese balls, I can't say enough about how delicious they are. Our dinners consisted of the $12 burger and fries and I opted for the ahi tuna appetizer which was plenty for dinner. The food is great and we always look forward to stopping here before concerts. And the view of the plane landing at LAX and the airport on the property cannot be beat. read more

We've been coming to this location for years -- dine-in and takeout -- and usually the food and service are great. Unfortunately, our recent takeout experience was so poor it's turned us off completely. We ordered three burgers, including a Fresno Fig with a grilled chicken substitution -- something we've done many times before. I arrived five minutes early and ended up waiting another 20 minutes because the server forgot about my order. When I finally got home, the food was cold and they hadn't made the chicken substitution. Mistakes happen -- but what really disappointed us was the response when I called. Michelle picked up the phone and implied I was lying and just trying to get a free meal. She offered no apology, said she was too busy, and hung up. When I called back and said I'd return the incorrect order, I asked if they could have the replacement ready quickly. She said it would take 35-45 minutes because they were busy -- no attempt to prioritize fixing their mistake. When I arrived, the food was ready after about 35 minutes, and she gave me $20 in coupons. Enough for ~1 burger there...I calmly explained that accusing a customer of lying as you initial response isn't acceptable, especially before even checking. She said it was "restaurant policy" to question claims -- and they recently had 5 other people yesterday lodge complaints but didn't come back with the incorrect order. I understand doubt, but in the service industry, you can't treat your clients automatically like thieves. It's also probably a sign something is wrong with your kitchen if it keeps happening...After expressing my view, and suggested she should speak with her manager about the crappy rule, that's when I learned she was the manager! Unbelievable... Finally, to top it off, after getting home we found the replacement sandwich was missing bacon. After years of being loyal customers, this experience and the lack of accountability were enough for us. We won't be returning. Hopefully the manager Michelle learns from this and is able to deal with both a busy restaurant and poor customer service/mistakes at the same time. And at least give better compensation to an upset customer with a legitimate complaint who comes back to the restaurant to get it fixed. read more

Great SoFi pre-game location! Parking is super tight tho and you may just hafta pay for gated stall. Lively atmosphere, other games playing live behind the bar. Service was best they could do being so busy. Management needs to look at this and help their staff help the customers (aka staff up). Bathroom is currently a porta (the movie site type) because construction is occurring. No biggie. Beer & whiskey selection is good. Sunday has a great happy hour menu. $8 bloody mary's too. Burgers were fantastic!! Black blue for me & fig for my friend. Will definitely go back to explore the menu further. read more
