Just had lunch there. It has been a minute since I've been there, but they have gotten even better if that's possible. Service was excellent.. .suggestive cell was subtle but right on target. Our burgers were prepared perfectly and the fries were out of this world. This is THE place for burgers in Humboldt County. read more

My wife and I were happy to find this place. It came highly recommended and it was open. Upon entering we were greeted immediately by the person who would be our server from behind the bar. The restaurant is clean, has an old feeling to it, a little more dim than I would like but nothing that would change my mind about staying. We were seated quickly and the service throughout our whole experience was just amazing. My wife ordered the fried pickles that came with a dipping sauce. These things were quite addictive! They were not as salty as I thought they would be and we enjoyed them all the way to the bottom of the bowl. I ordered the fishwhich with a side of Hawaiian Mac Salad. The sandwich was great! I love that it was breaded and fried but not so overwhelming to where it taste more like batter than fish. The fish was tender and not salty but the presence of the fish taste was prominent and not covered by the batter. The sandwich all in all was the highlight of this meal. I will say I was a little disappointed with the "Hawaiian" Mac salad. As a Pacific Islander, it's always great when we get to have a taste of home. This was indeed Mac salad but not made in the Hawaiian style. It was watery, had cucumber and it did not stick like Hawaiian Mac salad. I did my best to be respectful and finish my plate but it was really hard to eat that macaroni salad. I would love to see this remade into the Hawaiian style that it claims. For dessert, we had the churros with dipping sauce and the white dipping sauce was the absolute best! The chocolate dipping sauce could've been worked on a little more and it was surprisingly watery as well. The churros were something different from the traditional churros that I was used to, but it had good flavor and it stayed together and did not fall apart which I appreciated. All in all we enjoyed our time here being able to have this food, have a great conversation, and receive amazing service. I appreciate most the fact that the server tolerated my sense of humor when I asked her "do we get discounts at The Hood if we are from the 'hood". We will definitely come back here again whenever we are in town. read more

Great place to have a burger and a drink. Super friendly. We felt right at home. Thanks!

The service was impeccable. We walked up at 8:56 and saw on the window that it closed at 9pm, however online it said 10pm but we turned around to leave, the server came out and said to come on in. SOOOO nice, in New York our servers would be like phewwww they're leaving. I had the garlic chicken mushroom onion pasta and my husband built his own burger. We had the cheese curds for an app, salty and delicious and the cheese pull was so satisfying. We had the warm brownie sundae for desert. Very good. Highly recommend coming here. The price is worth the quality and service. Our servers name was Nicole. Such a sweet person. Very nice experience. If we ever come back through Eureka we will definitely pop back in here. read more

Amazing service! Super cute place, loved all the plants! Our food was so good, we got the ribeye, it was cooked perfectly, we had several changes and it was no problem, we were all so very pleased. The veggies were cooked perfectly, and so tasty. The French fries were top notch, we shared them and tried the garlic fries and the bacon Gouda ones, so freakin amazing! Our server was so friendly, she recommended some really great places to go sightseeing, we did them ALL! I cannot recommend this place enough, if I could give it 10 stars I would! read more

Everything we got was incredible and the service was even better. Really anything fried or with cilantro is a good get. The place feels like it would be appropriate for any occasion, largely due to the welcoming decor and floor plan. Big fan of the plane room; I hope to eat there one day. read more

I actually hate to give this place two stars since the service and atmosphere was nice. My experience started well as this place came highly recommended. Unfortunately, towards the end of my Shrimp Caesar I discovered a few hair strands which made my stomach turn. The server was extremely kind, removing the salad from our bill but I couldn't unsee that hair (yuck). She offered us churros to go which were great. I realize things happen but hopefully they are more careful. It was dealt with so pleasantly, that made it a little better. read more

Tried this place out today, no expectations, ordered the hood burger, fired pickles and Philly egg rolls. All was delicious and perfect! Beware of the Philly egg roll let it cool 5 minutes burned my lip from cheese inside-but worth it!! Service was good. One change don't add corn meal to fried pickles throws it off, and you gotta get rid of the place smelling like an old thrift shop. But good food, will come again!!! read more

I ordered a burger, onion rings, and fried zucchini from The Hood, and honestly, the food was really disappointing. The burger was extremely greasy and had a weird taste. The onion rings and fried zucchini were drenched in oil, and the batter on the zucchini was undercooked. I even put it in the oven when I got home, and you can see the oil still bubbling. Everything tasted heavy and oily. The only thing I actually liked was the ranch. read more

You should not waste your time reading my review; you should get yourself down to The Hood and enjoy their amazing food! I had the Mediterranean salad with shrimp added and it was FINE! My lunch companion went with a chicken pesto sandwich with garlic fries. We were both delighted with our choices. Service was personalized and efficient. Restrooms were clean, large and include baby changing tables. Go here, eat good food, thank me later. read more

We recently visited Hood in Eureka with a group of about 30 people. We were well aware that bringing a large party can be a challenge, so we made a point to be respectful, easygoing, and patient. The service staff was fantastic -- attentive, kind, and responsive. A few menu items were unavailable, but that wasn't an issue for us. Most of the food was great and came out in a reasonable amount of time. Unfortunately, the experience took a serious downturn when one of our guests received a burger that was completely inedible. The smell coming off it was rancid -- like it had been cooked on a filthy grill or mixed with spoiled seafood. The odor was so pervasive that others around the table could smell it immediately, and it even lingered on hands after handling it. Some of the boys in our group who received their burgers afterward encountered the same issue -- same smell, same problem. When we brought it to our server's attention, she let us know that the owner, who was also helping on the floor, would need to handle it. When the owner arrived, she didn't bother to smell or examine the burger -- instead, she grabbed it, walked away, and slammed it down on a metal table, making a loud bang that startled the entire restaurant. The server later apologized for the owner's behavior, but it was obvious to everyone that it was intentional. When the owner finally addressed one of the women in our group, she was rude and immediately confrontational. She led with, "Here's the thing, I've been in food service for 30 years and we hand make our burgers every day. I don't smell anything bad." She dismissed the concerns of the entire group of 30 people, essentially suggesting we were imagining it. She took no responsibility, was defensive, and flat-out refused to refund all three of the offending burgers -- only removing two from the bill, despite the fact that none were eaten. It would have cost her less than \$60 retail to make the situation right on what was an approximately \$1,000 check, but she chose to argue instead. It was clear from the staff's reactions that her behavior wasn't a surprise. The servers were excellent, and we tipped them generously, but it's obvious they're working under an owner who lacks basic customer service skills and empathy. We won't return, and while we don't visit Eureka often, I can't imagine this kind of ownership makes for a healthy business or work environment. read more

Came across this place during the small business Saturday, and the Eureka snowball drop. Really cool and fussy place. Breakfast tacos were amazing, Bacon Gouda fries are not to be missed. Definitely recommend starting your night off with some wings to set the vibe right. Overall, outstanding place...definitely coming back when we are in town. read more

We've eaten here three times over the last two months and each meal has been satisfying. The half-price Thursday burger meal is a great value and the burgers (or chicken or fish sando) are great. The fries and onion rings are super. Service has been friendly and good. A range of menu items outside of burgers as well. The Thai steak salad was great. read more

Just a really good burger. Juicy, flavorful, fresh, with a perfect bun. I don't know what higher compliment I can give, but it hit the spot. The onion rings were excellent. Crispy golden brown, not soggy, with a delightful variety in each ring. These aren't machine-formed paste, just fresh onion done right. It's a rare treat, a good onion ring. Fries you can get anywhere. The Habanero sauce was a surprise.. fresh, tangy, potent -- consider getting it on the side so you can moderate it as you go. The side-cup serving size is about perfect for one burger, but you can disagree. The fried pickles are a novelty to me.. they are what they sound like, and you probably already know if you'd like them. Friendly service, everything came out together, hot, and rockin. If anything, I wish maybe the table lighting wasn't spotlights glaring down on the table? It's a weird thing to say, I know. But if you're looking at someone across the table, shouldn't have a bright light in view. Maybe it's just that one table. read more

The burgers here are very good. My husband and I went in on a Saturday night. We didn't have to wait at all, we got seated right away. I ordered the teriyaki chicken burger and bbq wings. The wings are so good. The fries were also perfect with good seasoning. You can tell they make their food with fresh ingredients. They use local ingredients as well which is awesome. The place is spacious and restrooms were clean. We will definitely be back. read more

The buffalo chicken wings are good! And the cheesy bacon tots are fire! The staff is friendly.

I got my usual, the Gouda fries, to go and they were so disappointing I will not go back again. the bacon was pink, every fry soggy and soft. after cooking them for an additional 15 minutes in the toaster over at work some were edible but tastes like Jack in the box, but $15. I Will not be a return customer. read more

Don't waste your time. Met family for breakfast, I ordered the Ciinnamon Pancakes for my granddaughter and myself. Not sure what was in these but we honestly only ate a couple bites and left the rest. There was no decaf coffee and there were several full plates left on the table. Yikes I guess we should have known better on a Saturday morning and we were the only customers. read more

went here for the first time today to grab lunch. the atmosphere was lovely, friendly yet stylish lighting and decor. clean bathrooms and great service. food came out super quick and the coffee was delicious, not just standard diner coffee. i had the works burger with onion rings. the burger comes with a delicious habanero sauce, it's got a kick to it but definitely blends nice with the whole burger. the ingredients on the burger were fresh and the patty was cooked beautifully. the star of the show though was the onion rings. i was so glad i ordered them, i've never had more delicious onion rings in my life. prices are pretty humboldt standard for a burger but they actually come with a side and are cooked nicely. can't beat that, wonderful spot! read more

Very odd experience the last time I stopped in. I tried to order shrimp piccata, the waitress told me they were out of shrimp and before I even had a chance to process her sentence, tells me never mind, they do have it. Confusing because she literally walked about 3 feet away (not into the kitchen) after telling me she was going to ask, and returned with that answer while I could see her the entire time. Odd - but I let it slide. The shrimp was seasoned for their tacos I'm assuming and the piccata had so many capers in it that it was way too acidic and inedible. I then ordered fried zucchini just to get something in my stomach - they were absolutely disgusting. $65 later I walked out disappointed and still hungry. (Really shouldn't have been charged for food that I sent back and did not eat a single bite of - but it is what it is) I wouldn't waste my time or money here ever again. read more

This place is pretty solid! Got burgers and some beers and would go again for sure. Service was quick

Took long to get even given water, service took about 15min and it was an empty place. We saw a mouse so that was very unpleasant. Food was fine. Pretty disappointed since I like the food but probably won't bring guests here again read more

The service was great but what really made me happy was the homemade chickpea burger. Delicious!

Not impressed whatsoever. We ordered the cheese fries, Chicken Marsala and the bahn mi burger with onion rings. *Fries and onion rings= barely warm and somewhere between soggy and crispy. Seems as if they make big batches ahead of the time. *Cheese gravy"= grainy and not very flavorful. * Bahn mi burger= extremely greasy. *Pork belly= some of the worst I've ever had, soggy and mostly fat and not the yummy kind of fat. I typically love pork belly so I was pretty disappointed to say the least. *Chicken Marsala= sauce was very watery and had way too much lemon flavor. *Garlic bread = pretty good Service was ok, took along time to get our food, seemed like maybe the waiting staff was new to the profession. Our waitress was nice though. read more

Had reservations for 5, @ 5 & the place was a dead zone. "Burgers all come medium rare unless specified" 4/5 ordered burgers. All asked for medium rare. ALL our burgers were well done. I asked for regular avocado on my works burger instead of the spread. Got no avocado. For 20$ you'd think you can cook a burger right. Every item we ordered was disappointing. This place was amazing when it was 6th & E. I don't know if they sold the place and got new cooks but we will not be back. & every person I've told my experience has similar & also agree. read more
