Having…read moregrown up at traditional Southern California restaurants such as Tam's, we expected a modern smash-style place like Nilly's to be different, but this visit turned out to be a bit of a mixed-up affair. The burger tasted great, the beef having a good flavor and the potato bun being pillowy soft and doing a nice job of holding everything in place. Nevertheless, it was rather small for the price. We didn't find the chili cheese fries very appealing. They consist of crinkle-cut fries which are just topped with cheddar cheese and chili. Although the crinkle-cut was a novel feature, the chili itself was rather ordinary, neither distinct nor memorable. Considering the portion sizes and the amount of the check, the value we got wasn't really there. The burger has good flavor, but if you're eating because you're hungry and expecting a large meal, you should consider the size and price.

Now I stood in front of this establishment their 4 screen menu and special that jump on the screen, for two specials. BBQ bacon chopped sandwich.. You can watch the grill as the cook staff makes the food. Impressive how the young man manages the grill with pride. Counter staff very friendly and knowledgeable. Food is made to order so it takes a few minutes which is great because it's fresh and hot. The special we got was any sandwich and drink and they had two more special flashing that's why it took a few to decide. The sandwiches were well made hot, tasty and good size drinks also good size. So so tasty so filling, bread to meat ratio well done. For a mall food outlet this place I recommend price to product is good They are POS ready and even have a kiosk if you want to order Food = 8 Quality = 8 Customer service = 8 Price to product = 8

Gotta say I was not impressed. Start with the Pros. Its fresh & hot made to order, wait time is expected when food is cooked fresh, but nothing, literally nothing stood out. I tried the Spicy Jalapeno Smash Burger, patty was nicely seasoned, but nothing popped. Sauce was ok, ingredients were ok, fries were nice but. Ot enough tj bring the rating from a solid 3. Solid Mid-rating, not the best but def not the worst. Did not try the chopped cheese samich, did not want to be more disappointed than what I already was.

They offer breakfast, dinner specials, Mexican, and American comfort food. On my recent visits, I've ordered the burgers and the grilled chicken breast sandwich. Love the generous servings of fries and onion rings. Everything I've tried has been enjoyable and filling. Cold beverages are available behind the counter; just ask the staff for fountain drink refills. The staff has been kind, and they prepare orders promptly and with care. The restaurant has spacious indoor dining, mostly booths. They also offer drive-thru ordering. The drive-thru entrance is easiest when entering from the Pioneer Blvd side. The order-and-pickup window is on the passenger side. A little awkward if you're a solo driver. Decent number of parking spots in the lot. The main entrance to the lot is from Del Amo Blvd. They've been around for years (since 2010, after changing from Duke's), and prices (as with most places) have increased, but they're still competitive with similar establishments. The food and service have been consistently good. I can't wait til my next meal here!

There aren't any bells or whistles but every time I have a meal here I've been satisfied, breakfast lunch or dinner. To be fair I haven't been too adventurous with the menu and tend to order things like burgers, chili cheese friends and breakfast. The fries are GENEROUSSSSS and could easily be shared between 2-3 people. One of my favorite burgers there is the bacon cheeseburger, bacon is always nice and crispy and lettuce always nice and fresh. The burger patty is also perfectly cooked. I love the bacon breakfast plate, pro tip is to get scrambled eggs and add bell peppers onions and cheese. The French toast is also PERFECTION. You literally do not need to add syrup. The butter and cinnamon is always in perfect ratio. Another can't miss is the vanilla ice cream. Apparently they make it in house? I love it! Would probably taste amazing in a root beer float. There's also a lady who works the window that is also super nice and friendly. Ps don't forget to ask for the chilis and salsa!

One of my favorite things about them is their "Hoppy Hour," offered daily from 3-6 PM and then from 9 PM-close. They have a great selection of bites at pretty budget-friendly prices, starting at just $4! Some of my go-to Hoppy Hour orders are the Half-Order Truffle Cheese Fries, Mac N' Cheese Balls, Crispy Glazed Brussels Sprouts, and Nachos with added steak. The Truffle Cheese Fries are always a must for me. The fries are covered in this decadent white truffle cheese sauce that is so savory and flavorful. The Mac N' Cheese Balls are perfectly crunchy on the outside and filled with beer cheese sauce and Fresno chiles with ranch on the side for dipping. The Crispy Glazed Brussels Sprouts are one of my favorites because they have this orange chile glaze that is super addicting. For something a little more filling, I like getting the Nachos and adding steak. They come with refried beans, chipotle sauce, crema, jalapeños, onions, tomatoes, and cilantro. I always ask for extra onions, tomatoes and cilantro on the side. For the steak, we ordered it medium rare, and they cooked it perfectly! Now, let's talk about the burgers because every burger I've tried here has been solid. I've had the Barbecue Bacon Burger, which comes with shoestring onions, bacon, cheddar, and beer barbecue sauce. You really can't go wrong with this classic. My current top two favorites are the Fresno Fig Burger and the Wagyu Bone Marrow Burger. The Fresno Fig has this delicious sweet-and-savory combination with fig marmalade, melted goat cheese, and bacon. I love how the sweetness of the fig contrasts with the tanginess of the goat cheese and the savory/salty bacon. The Wagyu Bone Marrow Burger is definitely on the decadent side with bone marrow shiitake butter, grilled onions, and horseradish mustard aioli. Everything comes together to make a rich and flavorful burger. It's one of the pricier burgers on the menu, but for me, it's worth every dime! For something on the lighter side, I've also tried the Cobb Salad with added grilled chicken and the Caesar Salad with seared salmon. Nothing particularly groundbreaking, but it's always nice to get some greens in between all those burgers and fries. I'm always coming back to Eureka! for their "Hoppy Hour" and burgers. Eureka! continues to be such a reliable comfort-food spot.

Waited some more and at this point I had to ask the manager to cancel the burger. Manager was apologetic and comped the burger. I appreciate the comp and apologies.

My husband and I have been wanting to try the Ube sliders for a while, and we decided to get that. We also go the Panda Style fries with spam. When we got our food, everything looked so delicious. We've had the Panda Style Fries before. And it never disappoints. The fries have great taste from the seasoning to the sauce. And the spam brings out that saltiness the fries need. I love the grilled onions on top. We usually eat it from the top to the bottom, so we usually don't get much sauce or toppings when we get to the bottom. I think it's meant to be mixed, but we don't want it to get mushy. The be sliders were good. The patty, sauce, and grilled onions were good. The Ube bread didn't have much Ube taste to us (imo). And I felt like I was getting more bread than the actually patty and what was inside the burger. I felt like I could have used more sauce to soften up the dry texture I get from the bed. But overall it was good. This place is located inside the Steelcraft so it has a nice, chill ambiance. The place can get busy, especially when they are showing games. But a nice place to hang out and chill over some food and drinks.

The cashier was very helpful with recommendations. He even let my husband sample the beer. When we decided what we wanted, I got the Stand Out Burger and my husband got the bbq sandwich and a beer. And we both got onion rings and sweet potato waffle fries to share. You can also request as many sauces on the side as you want. We got the house sauce, Meyer lemon aioli, ranch, ketchup, and mayo. For a regular burger, the Stand Out Burger was delicious. The burger patty was nice and moist. Cooked to a perfect medium rare, just how I asked for it to be made. I added extra pickles (that were free and available at the counter). My husband really enjoyed the bbq sandwich. He's a big bbq lover, I don't really care for bbq. When I tried it, it was very saucy and bbq forward. The sweet potato waffle fries were one of my favorites. It pairs well with the house sauce and ranch. I kept dipping it in what I thought was the Meyer lemon sauce, but turned out to be mayo (lol) and I kept saying the sauce didn't taste of lemon. But the sweet potato waffle fries actually pairs well with the Meyer lemon sauce too. Another favorite was the onion rings. It had a nice thin batter and when you bite into it, you get that crunchy texture. This pairs well with the ranch and ketchup. We would definitely come back to try other things on the menu!

We started with a sampling of wings (mango, jerk, tikka) and they were all flavorful and cooked nicely. We then had bbq Dino ribs and tikka flavor Dino ribs - the meat tasted truly incredible and was super soft, just falling right off the bone. Honestly, I'm usually not a huge meat enthusiast but this restaurant is named for its ribs and the Dino ribs are definitely the item to get if you come. We also had some beef and chicken tacos since it was Taco Tuesday and they were solid too. We finished with some malai kulfi for dessert and it capped off the meal perfectly. Atmosphere was casual and it seemed pretty busy for a Tuesday evening with at least 3 or 4 other groups and I can see why. The service was very friendly - the owner Brother Yasser took great care of our group and joined us for maghrib prayer before we started dinner. Like the other reviews mentioned, you can see him cooking the food in the back and it feels like he's hosting you at his house. It's clear that he's very passionate about cooking meat and it shows in the food and how he serves. Would highly recommend trying it out.
