So I've been here a few times now and all experiences were the same as the first. The first two…read morethings I notice when I get in here is the dust above the kitchen area and how unkept one area is. It is over by the drinks and where you get the BBQ sauce from. On my first visit they were out of a few of their meats that we wanted to try. Fortunately I've been able to try a bit of everything on other visits. After much debate I can confidently give three stars. The service is prompt, and the food comes out relatively quickly. However, the BBQ is ok, the sides are ok, and the sauces are ok. Nothing has really stood out that makes me want to come back anymore. I will say that it is the better BBQ in the area though. The other spots are nowhere close. I just have much better options in SoCal.

For 20 years I have gone to Porter Street BBQ, and most of the time it has been fine. The day…read morebefore a holiday in 2025, I ordered my usual. That time the chicken was extremely over cooked and dry. Instead of a holiday meal, I made chicken salad. Holidays are hard enough, but none of the deli places had any dark meet turkey, thus I got chicken instead. When I called to ask what happened to the chicken that person (end of 2025) said sorry, "it must have been left over." That is an honest answer. Mistakes happen. I get it. Fast forward to today. I got my order and got home to eat the wing and drum, and it was dried out and not moist like when it is properly cooked. Dipped in BBQ sauce it was ok. One thing I hate is dried out chicken. The thigh and breast were also extremely dried out. Obviously, it was overcooked. When I called in a very nice voice to ask how I can get it not dried out next time. The person Carie who said she was a supervisor, started making excuses and talking down to me in a bit of a condescending voice saying, "well it IS cooked on a BBQ grill outside." I said, "I know that. I have been coming there for many years." Then she started making some other lame excuse and this caused my temper to rise. JUST SAY YOU ARE SORRY. Shocked by this treatment I asked if she (CAREY) was really the supervisor and she said, "Do you want to talk to the owner?" and I said yes. She said loudly, "There is a very angry lady on the phone" and THAT MADE ME FURIOUS, so I hung up. SHE (CAREY) was the cause of my anger when I was talking nicely, and my voice was calm until she started making excuses. Perhaps, Carey needs to go to Supervisor Customer Service Training as I have been a supervisor, and I NEVER talk to customers in that way. Stick a fork in me as I am overdone.

My family and I were driving down the coast and were going to be in Eureka for one night. We asked…read morethe front desk lady at our motel where we could get a good steak, and without hesitation she said Shamus T Bones. We looked at the reviews here on Yelp! and were a bit worried at the low overall rating. Well, rest assured, we had a good meal and enjoyed our visit. My wife had the filet mignon, while I ordered the rib eye. I asked our waitress about upgrading to the pricier dry aged rib eye, and she surprisingly talked me out of it saying the regular rib eye was really good. She was right. The combination of the grilling and the buttery sauce was delicious. It didn't need any additional sauce, but out of curiosity I tried the house sauce that was on the table, and it was quite nice. For some reason, they have a Tesla coil (from the original Tesla, not the car company) and they fired it off while we were there. They give plenty of notice before they do as it makes a loud sound and sparks fly about the device. It was interesting. So, if you're in town and looking for a good steak, give this place a try.

The gal working there was kind enough to get us some fry sauce. The walls are blue and decorated with surfboards and memorabilia from a baseball team the restaurant sponsors. Cute.

Boy have I been eating so unhealthy on this trip, but you know that because you are following. Is that part of the reason I am having so much fun? This did not disappoint. I did not think it was very spicy, but my daughter said it was too spicy for her. Good thing she ordered the mild version of garlic chicken; see below. Decent portions. Garlic Chicken - A more mild version of the above. But with rice and mac rather than fries. A slightly healthier version. Ahi Poke Bowl - My wife's choice. Generous portions, especially the tuna; thank you. Because this is raw, we "forced" ourselves to finish this dish first. So good. And to wash it down, supporting local, Sticky Finger IPA. Ambiance - Small local business. The food truck was parked in the rear of the building. Due to the rain, I did not take pictures. Plenty of mall parking. Open 5 days a week, 11:30am to 7pm; closed on Monday and Tuesday. Service - Counter service. Overall okay. Price - $62 + tip. Reasonably priced as we pretty much took an entree to-go. We are light eaters. Owner Comment - Aloha, congrats on your success since 2017; we will be back!

The macaroni salad is amazing and I am still drooling over the Teri bbq chicken. I haven't been inside the restaurant yet, but the food is GOOD. I have been to the food truck and it's good there too, the only downside is the food wasn't heated up evenly and I got cold spots in the chicken, luckily it wasn't icy! If the line wasn't so crazy I would have asked for more heat up. Can't wait to eat in person soon!

They also have Guatemalan items for sale over at the register. I decided to go for the garnachas, which is a Guatemalan street food, similar to a sope. These were like little mini sopes. . The corn masa cake base was delicious, and it was not over fried. The ground beef was seasoned very well, the veggies gave it a nice pop of freshness. The cheese was great, and I especially loved the sauce. The sauce just brought it all together. There was a little pile of jalapeño, onion, and carrot in the middle. I didn't touch the jalapeño. I tried the carrot and the onion, but they were too spicy for me. Not a big deal. It was a nice lite lunch, and with soda, tax and tip, the price was very reasonable. I definitely want to come back and try more items off of this menu. Thank you.

A solid 3 1/2 stars, due to a couple of small hiccups. I've wanted to come in here for some…read moretime, but I was unable to make it into the restaurant, so I decided to do a DoorDash. The first hiccup, was the restaurant is less than 10 minutes from our place, yet from the time I ordered to the time the food came, it was just under an hour. Plus, it was after lunchtime on a Saturday, which should've meant that the place should have been less busy That's a long wait for a short distance. The food itself was pretty good. My first order was the cod, fritters. The flavor was good. I could definitely taste the cod. What I didn't care for, was the texture. They were pretty gummy. I don't know if that's how they are supposed to be or not, but I was not a fan of the texture. They did come with a red sauce for dipping, but it was a bit too spicy for me. On the other end of the spectrum, however, was the curried goat, which I loved. I called ahead to ask if it was spicy, and they said, not really. And they were right. It wasn't really that spicy. It was a mellow spice that made my forehead sweat just a little bit, but well within what I like for spicy. The flavor itself was fantastic. The goat was bone in, but it was so tender. It was literally falling off the bone. Goat can be gamey, but this wasn't. It had a nice mellow flavor. There was also a gravy, which had a deep, rich flavor, and the rice had a good texture and a nice flavor also. It didn't taste like plain white rice. Overall, even with the delivery cost, the price was very reasonable. I would definitely order from here again, but the next time I would go into the restaurant instead of doing delivery. Also, while I liked the flavor of the cod, fritters, next time I would order something else. Thank you so much for an overall good meal.

I apologize for not reviewing sooner because this was not our first time here…read more It is a big deal that we actually came back When we travel out of town we hardly ever go to the same place twice. This is an exception Pepe was the best waiter that we've had anywhere in the longest time. Excellent suggestions excellent service and really listened. We wanted to add something extra to our item that we ordered regardless of how much extra it cost and we express that we wanted a lot of it. Not only did he pass that on to the kitchen absolutely accurately they performed what he asked for. He was the first line of connection and communication so I give him credit for sure and special things to the kitchen for performing the exact. I know that sounds strange but it was kind of a big deal and it was really a big deal that it came out perfectl

DEEPLY DISAPPOINTING!!!! I was so excited to celebrate my…read morebirthday at Lost Coast Brewery & Café--we drove to Eureka specifically for this place 12/7/25. Unfortunately, the experience was incredibly disappointing. From the start, the person who helped us was rude and dismissive. I understand people have bad days, but her attitude was unacceptable. When I simply asked if they had cider, she laughed and caught an attitude. I requested a sample of a strawberry option they had on tap, and when I then asked to order that drink, she said, "I'm sorry, I can't possibly remember everyone's drink when I pour drinks all day." That comment was disrespectful and unnecessary. As a human being that works with the public, it's a no brainer to say that is not how you talk to people...perhaps something along the lines of "Remind me what that was again"....I could never imagine talking to people that way. The best part though, is that while charging us--despite saying she couldn't remember everyone's drink--she somehow remembered my husband's order just fine. The inconsistency and tone were frustrating and soured the entire visit. We only came to Eureka for this spot, and it turned into the worst birthday experience. I had hoped for a fun, friendly celebration, but the service made it anything but. I won't be returning, and I can't recommend this location based on how we were treated.

I feel like this spot has a lot of potential here but just misses the mark…read more A local spot, very popular. Not so much for dine in as more for take out and third party. You can do a simple slice or grab whole items as well. The space is big, just seems informal and the decor is little to be desired. It's like being in a warehouse setting, cold and flat. The communication within the staff is lacking a bit. After placing an order, it took 15 mins for them to realize they had over sold an item, and let us know after we had sat down, which then delayed part of our order after we chose a new item. In the end the food was decent.
