PECLA is a hidden gem in the South Bay Area. The services is exceptional and the food is great. We had the gem salad with Salmon and the 917 burger with fries. The Salmon was a bit under cooked, so next time I'll order it well done. They run the Porsche cars on the track 3X a day, 9am, 12:30, 2p, but you should check for exact times. Be sure to get there early to get a seat at the window. Highly recommend PECLA & 917 restaurant!

I brought my boyfriend here to celebrate his birthday. Our server, Alex, was prompt and so helpful. The food was great and the view from our seats were bar-none. We'll definitely be returning

I came to Restaurant 917 for the food only — because let's be clear, I am absolutely not here to drive a Porsche around a track. I don't even like driving my own car... so handing me keys to something that costs as much as a five-bedroom, four-bath home in Texas? Yeah, no thank you. But the dining experience? That, I will happily come back for again and again. From the moment we checked in, Ivan's service set the tone. Attentive without hovering, warm without forcing it — truly beyond five stars. He made the entire experience feel elevated, smooth, and intentional. And then the cocktails... sublime. The kind of drinks that make you look up from the glass and say, “Oh, they know what they're doing back there.” But the star of the night? The 917 Burger. I can't even pretend to be cool about it. Perfectly seasoned, rich, juicy, balanced — one of the best burgers I've had in Los Angeles period. I'm already planning my return just to taste it again. Add in the unexpected view of “the boys” taking Porsches around the track, the sleek dining room, and that relaxed-luxury vibe, and it becomes clear: Restaurant 917 is a must-stop — yes, in Carson, California of all places. A true hidden gem for anyone who cares about excellent food, standout service, and a touch of surprise in their dining experiences. Can't wait to come back.

Everything was perfect. Great service. Great food. And of course the views are amazing watching the Porsches on the track. It's a must do if you are in the area !!! And don't forget to stop by the gift shop. Great porsche swag. Love it all. Ladies in this dept are amazing as well.

Very cool to watch drivers as we overlooked the track...ask for a window table! Food was creative and delicious - rich but yummy! Service a little slower than expected.

I love me a dinner (lunch) & a show! Thank you for accommodating us with the window seat as requested! So glad a spot opened up, I've been wanting to take my bf here. We had their wagyu 917 burger with their duck fat fries upgrade, salmon with risotto, and roasted carrots. Although their roasted carrots were a bit too oily, it was still really good. A medium done on the wagyu burger - so juicy and tasty! Not dry at all. Their salmon was okay (could've used a little more seasoning or some lemo zest) but the risotto under was great, needed more of it! Their Porsche-shaped butter along with the warm pretzel sticks was okay, it was a cute presentation though (just not a pretzel bread girly). Their staff was very accommodating and always checked up on you. And you can't go wrong with watching the cars just drive around the tracks and drifting while you eat. Definitely recommend!

I like the ambiance here and watching the cars. The food was average. I'll definitely be back yo complete the Porsche experience again.

I had asked what level they cooked their meat and they said medium. I asked if I could get it medium well and they said yes but it would take 25 min to come out and I said yes that's fine. When bringing out the food, I was given the wrong one and I ended with a medium. Other than that, everything was good!

Nestor was our server and he provided excellent service and the food was delicious. We were celebrating a birthday and he even gave us a complimentary dessert! We are definitely coming back again to try out other things on the menu.

A little pricey but as expected for a restaurant to try to be fine dining. Service was good. We love honest servers steering us away from non popular items. Watching the drive experience was interesting. Wish there was a cheaper for free activity since we came all this way
