Rockefeller

Gordon & Kristina

Kristina and I had the ultimate brunch just a block up from the Hermosa Pier. We went for the skirt steak & eggs and the chicken and waffles—both were incredible. The real game-changer? Bottomless mimosas with a choice of orange, papaya, mango, or peach. Definitely the best way to kick off the day!

Rockefeller is one of our favorite restaurants and the Hermosa location is always happening with a young fun crowd and relaxed atmosphere to fits perfectly with the great menu. The space is very open so you can feel you are at the beach and they always have specials and events going at all the locations. Some of our favorites are the burgers, fish tacos, chicken sandwich, steak salad or sandwich is bomb as their steak is great... it can be hard to decide because there are plenty of options, flatbreads, truffle fries or mac and cheese to die for. Don't forget about happy hour for a great value. Rockefeller is a locals' favorite that will keep you coming back again and again because its a fun spot with good food and good times.

I am obsessed with this food. I really enjoyed the excellent presentation of the menu and the end result of the food. Thanks for bringing France to Hermosa Beach. Yes, we took some of the French onion 🍲 home and enjoyed it on day 2.

Ordered a burger - it was absolutely delicious! The service was quick and friendly, and the place itself is very cozy and full of character. Definitely coming back again!

I had a great experience at Rockefeller. The food was amazing. The staff was really nice. They were very busy at 6:30 PM. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone and I definitely will be back.

You can’t go wrong with Rockefeller for fresh bites and great atmosphere. The Ahi wonton nachos were amazing. We can’t wait to come back again.

It was so deliciously tasty that I could have them twice a day. Perfectly made each time. The flavor and taste nevertheless changes but gets juice and yummier. If that's a word. After my third, I was upset I couldn't eat more and had to go. HA 😄 great staff. Although there are 3 locations, Hermosa Beach is the best outdoor spot. Stop reading, go to Rockefeller, and order your next delicious Burger 😎🍔🍾

Came here on a Saturday afternoon, and it was pretty busy. My girlfriend & I got sat quickly, by the fire place! which was awesome because it was our first time. The waitress (which I don’t remember her name) was very very friendly, attentive. The customer service was top notch. We got the mimosas and two brunch plates which were delicious. We are definitely coming back. Thank you!!

Amy Smith

Karen was an amazing server! She made our experience so much fun, joked around with our group, and kept everything running smoothly. You can tell she loves what she does — we had a blast thanks to her!

We went to Rockefeller for the first time and had amazing service and the food was so delicious. My wife and I definitely think about the brussel sprouts and how juicy and warm they were. We hope to come back soon!

Awesome food I had the Manhattan meatballs. Great happy hour here as well. The staff are very friendly and upbeat.

One of the best places for brunch. I looove coming here for the food whenever i happen to be in the area. Their take on chicken and waffles is a must try. The fried chicken is tender and crispy on the outside. Their chilaquiles are also amazing savory and delicious. The staff is great, everyone is very helpful and knowledgeable on the dishes. Always give good recommendations. The seating can be sparse during peak hours but it's one that is worth the wait.

We celebrated my friends birthday yesterday and the service was top notch. The food was amazing. What made this experience extremely special was everyone that worked there. Our waitress was phenomenal. The manager was so hospitable and friendly. To our busboy who was attending to us every moment. I highly recommend everyone to try this place. I live in Redlands and I would definitely drive back to experience a lovely brunch.

Addendum to my review below. I find it disgraceful that you spam each reviewer’s effort to compliment your establishment by way of a cut and paste 5% thank you and 95% advertisement. Shame on you! It would be less condescending to leave no reply at all. Rockefeller’s is an absolute must for us everytime we visit Hermosa. The food is consistently great, atmosphere inviting and service impeccable. We brought friends who had been with us previously. They insisted on going again. One of the party had the herb roasted chicken which was plentiful and filled with flavor. Another one of the party had the seared Ahi Tacos which were delicious. I had the southwest chicken wrap which was huge! I also had the zucchini fries which were amazing. Not hard to stick to a diet in this place but still come away full. Our server was Michael W. He was efficient, pleasant and allowed us to visit with each other. No pressure. Excellent restaurant and we're already looking foward to our return!

3rd Tuesday night of each month, me and a group of about 8 other friends gather in the back room for the $2 burger deal with a drink. This is a great deal. The food is very good and so is the service. Michael and his staff do an awesome job making sure that we and the rest of the patrons are tended to. I highly recommend ya'll c9me down to Rockefellers in Hermosa. Just blocks from the beach. You wont be disappointed.

This place has a relaxing atmosphere with a Cool vibe as you dine. The food is delicious and the service very nice. I've been here with my date twice and we always have a wonderful experience. Cool music plays while you dine or have drinks. 🥰

Rockefeller in Hermosa Beach is always a great experience. The interior is beautiful and inviting, and the staff is genuinely friendly and attentive. I’ve tried both brunch and lunch dishes, and everything has been fantastic. The French Toast, Chicken & Waffles, and Rockefeller Burger were all perfectly cooked and full of flavor. Highly recommend this spot for any meal.

The burger of the month didn’t quite appeal to me this time. Opted for the veggie stir fry pasta instead, and it was a delightful surprise! The dish featured a medley of fresh vegetables—crisp bell peppers, zucchini, mushrooms, and snap peas—tossed in a savory garlic soy glaze over perfectly cooked noodles. Flavorful and satisfying, it might just become my new go-to. My friend stuck with the $2 Roadhouse burger, which she enjoyed. We both appreciated the exceptional service from Ryan—attentive, friendly, and efficient. Another highlight was their happy hour, running Monday through Friday from 3 PM to 6 PM. They offer $6-$7 select beers, $8 well cocktails, and $8 select wines—a fantastic deal, especially given the prime location on the pier. If next month’s burger doesn’t entice me, I won’t hesitate to order that veggie stir fry pasta again.

Cute and casual restaurant in hermosa. Sat outside by myself. Food was good service was better. Definitely a good place to come for brunch or with a date or group of friends. Would definitely come back.

This is a very busy restaurant with average Americana food. I had the chicken pot pie and was underwhelmed by it. It tasted good, but I expected a pie crust (just a small pie dough "lid" was supplied. It was more of a "soup". Others in our party large party enjoyed their flat breads and salmon dished far more than I did mine. So, I would say it is a pretty good, but not great restaurant. The noise level is high during dinner.

I went in on this past Sunday (August 4th) in the early afternoon... after wondering the streets looking for parking. Helpful hint: they have limited parking in the rear. I didn't know this before I arrived so I parked on the street down by the Post Office. Kelly was my server I sat at the Bar and watched the Olympics. I had the Chilaquiles but that was only because I had the Eggs Benedict the day before at another restaurant. Chilaquiles had a great spicy flavor (not to much but enough) I asked for my eggs over easy and they came as I wished for. I had a side of the deep fried grits, it is the vessel the Eggs Benedict is served on, they didn't have a lot of flavor and I couldn't taste the cheese in them so I dropped it into my Chilaquiles bowl LMAO!! The Guava mimosa was refreshing. Kelly cared for me nicely as I sat at the bar by myself I watched as she made small talk with me and took care of other guests needs and kept on top of the servers orders. Atmosphere in here is so nice and relaxing I would definitely recommend a return... it was a overcast 73 degree day - which after coming from the IE (107 + degrees) it was welcomed.

I’m only gonna really talk about the food, the server was decent. The chicken and waffles is basically frozen chicken and the waffles are giving the same quality of frozen. The taste was bland, the syrup was taste less and hot sauce was good.even the smell of the chicken when it first arrived was bringing me back to middle school cafeteria frozen re heated chicken smell. It’s chicken cutlet not thigh or drum like I expected so it’s not fresh battered chicken. And the waffles claimed to be cinnamon but i didn’t get a glimpse of the spice. If you’re just hungry in the morning and need a lil bite then eat eat eat but otherwise I don’t recommend this dish tbh.
