It's the kind of place where you can settle in, enjoy a good meal and a beer, and actually have a good time without feeling rushed. The food definitely holds its own. I'm a huge fan of their onion rings. They come out crispy, flavorful, and are absolutely worth adding to the table. I had them with a burger, which made for a great brewery meal. Nathan has taken care of me personally, and his service really brings the whole experience together. He's attentive, organized, genuinely funny, and incredibly personable. Even when he's handling several tables, he keeps everything moving smoothly while still making you feel taken care of. He also knows the beer selection. With so many options on draft, I told him I wanted something similar to a blonde, light and easy to drink but still with a little punch. His recommendation was excellent and paired perfectly with the burger and onion rings. That kind of guidance is especially appreciated when you're looking at a big draft list and aren't quite sure where to start. Between the laid-back atmosphere, great food, huge beer selection, and Nathan's warm and entertaining service, Eel River has all the pieces of a place you want to come back to. Great burger, fantastic onion rings, a perfectly recommended draft, and excellent service. I'll absolutely be back!

Super crunchy fish and chips with what I think was house made tartar sauce and cocktail sauce with a good bite of horseradish. Sitting outside was cool but the propane heaters made it pretty cozy.

The BBQ sauce on it was ok-not great sauce. Generous meat portion. Although I would have preferred a different bbq sauce, the sandwich was really great. $22. Hubs had the Philly and he was not impressed. It really was skimpy on the meat portion. He had plenty of cheese and bell peppers, too light on the onions. The waitress was really nice and brought him some extra ranch dressing for salad, no charge.

We were just passing through the city and stopped by here to grab some dinner…read more The staff was incredibly welcoming, and the overall service was honestly amazing from start to finish. On top of that, the entire facility was exceptionally clean, and having live sports playing was a fantastic add-on to the vibe. When it comes to the food, the portions are incredibly generous and you definitely get plenty of food for what you pay. However, while the quantity and value are there, the actual quality of the food could be improved a bit. Overall, it was a really good experience! If they can just elevate the food quality a notch, this place would be a 5/5. Still highly recommend stopping by for the great hospitality and atmosphere!

September 10, 2025 - Fortuna, CA…read more Service was fast and friendly. We were greeted almost immediately, even though there was a line of people waiting for to-go orders. We seated ourselves and were quickly given chips, salsa, water, and menus. My husband ordered a Negro Modelo, and our server brought it right away while taking our meal order. I went with the Quesadilla con Carne a Elegir ($10.99) and chose chicken. It was simply chicken and cheese--no seasoning, sauce, guacamole, salsa, or sour cream--just the basics. The chicken was tender, but the quesadilla felt a little plain, and for the price, I thought it could have included a few extras. My husband, on the other hand, ordered the Chili Verde burrito. I found it too spicy for my taste, but he really enjoyed it. The seating was casual, and the restaurant was clean and pleasantly decorated. Overall, we had a nice meal with generous portions--enough leftovers for lunch the next day.

The baguette was crisp and delivered what I'd hope for in a bahn mi. Their menu's prices need to be updated, and the decor is a bit of a work in progress, but my food was delicious. This place gets busy around 12:30 with high school students coming in during the school year. Other members in my party enjoyed the Reuben, felt that the spicy Philly cheesesteak just tasted like jalapeños and cheese, enjoyed their blue cheese burger, and enjoyed their pork belly bahn mis.

This little eatery was busy, an old school feel inside there's not a lot of tables here, and seating is both inside and out. Friendly staff, was kind and helpful.

After looking over the menu, I opted for the Ambers Breakfast Tots. Tater tots loaded, with cheese, gravy, an over medium egg plus one added and bacon crumbled all over.

Attentive without being overly so, nailed our orders of four w one custom burger. Just great. The menu has a solid mix of breakfast and lunch items. My wife doesn't do breakfast and I love breakfast so it is the perfect menu for us. My mom and I love benedicts and they have four to choose from. My wife went custom burger. Mother in law - toasted english muffin w sausage. Mom had the California Bene and loved itI had the Florentine Bene - mine was not as good. The dish needed bigger tomatoes and one of my poached eggs was hammered. To be fair, benedicts are a tough dish but I make them all the time so it's doable. I would think omelettes or more traditional breakfasts would be better choices. My wife's burger was solid and again, the overall experience was excellent.
