FOOD.- We had some chicken strips and A Burger, one of the Vest burgers I ever had, the chicken basket was delicious, lets talk about home made like food.. this is it!!! Trust me it will not disappoint you Service.- service was great, consider waiting a bit, ut really looks like everything is made to order, it might look understaffed bug this makes a Small Joint better, Ambience.- it really can get some help on design and re arrangement to make it look cozy, there is a Single restroom, heads up if this is an issue for u, I still think it deserves 5 stars because food ita just amazing, its local owned and I love to support small local business read more

Only reason why I give it a 3 is because I was a bit disappointed. I was the only one who was told that the drinks were self serve and everyone else around me was getting their drinks served to them! Not sure if ya because I was brown and everyone else around me was white... Nonetheless gotta give credit where credit is due!! My hamburger was top notch though!! read more

We waited over 1 hour and twenty minutes from the time we ordered food to when we finally received it. I am honestly in shock as to how 1 burger and 1 chicken sandwich can take that long. When we did finally get our food, it was overcooked and the bacon was chewy and gross. Also, the cook with a very large beard was not wearing a net. Something is going on in that kitchen that needs to be addressed. The one redeeming factor was the hostess who was apologetic and accommodating. read more

While we were on vacation and we decided to stop at Elise's Eatery. Let me tell you they did not disappoint. The service was over and above better than anywhere I've ever been. The menu was full of great choices and we decided on chicken fingers basket with fries and BLT with fries. Both came out faster than we expected, and the taste was so amazing. The chicken fingers were crispy and tender, and had a great flavor. The BLT was one of the best I've ever had and the prices were reasonable and you got way more food for the price we paid. They had seating for about 25 people which was cozy and friendly. The inside design and atmosphere was really well done and welcoming. This is the place that I would definitely come back to frequently if I lived in the area. Thank you for the great service and food and if you are ever in the area, give them a try and you'll be happy you did. read more

We stopped by on our trip to the beach and were not disappointed! I ordered their version of the party melt and the curly fries. I would definitely recommend getting this meal, curly fries were seasoned and fried perfectly. I really like how the sandwich was fried, the bread was crisp and it was delicious . Service was friendly. Kudos to the team there! The restaurant got full while we were there, so it's super popular. Street parking is available. read more

Based on other reviews, we drove here for lunch from Brookings, OR. Glad we did! My husband ordered the Chicken Strips Basket which came with 6 huge strips perfectly fried, onion rings, coleslaw, Mac n Cheese, and a biscuit. All kinds of dipping sauces are available and they are not stingy with them either. I ordered the Redwood Burger with Fries and coleslaw. The burger is huge and tasty and I loved the brioche bun. Service was great! Prices are fair and I highly recommend going there! Plenty of parking across the street. read more

I ordered the chicken meal that came with three pieces of fried chicken, mac & cheese, coleslaw and a small biscuit served in a basket and two small bowls. The chicken was very hot and all the food was very good. Service was friendly and efficient. The restaurant is very basic and clean.

The reviews are correct! Great service and delicious food! Burger was far more flavorful than the burger's at Seaquake. My daughter got Club Sandwich was loaded with nice quality meats. James was our server and the service was above and beyond. Great experience! read more

Not too many (decent) eateries we could find for dinner in Crescent City, but glad we went with Elise's. We arrived around 7:30pm and they let us know it was takeout only with a 45min wait. Everything else closed at 8pm so we were stuck. We picked up our food around 8:15pm and since they were closing, they threw in a mac & cheese for free. So nice! Food: The chicken tender basket was exactly that. Good ol' chicken tendies (good portions). The curly fries were kinda soggy, but the to-go box may have steamed them during transport. Overall, not memorable, but satisfying. The fried chicken was delicious and crunchy. If i ever found myself here again, I would get that as my entree. It's good the mac & cheese was free because it was okay. Kinda dry and bland so we added some pepper and buffalo to make things interesting. All in all, service was solid, food was expected, and at least we had a full dinner for the night! read more

What a great, friendly find! The three of us had a variety of food choices and each was excellent. Our server greeted us warmly and paid just the right amount of attention to us. We were only in town overnight, but will eat here again next time. read more

Delicious food, good service, very happy with the whole experience. We definitely recommend it to others to give it a try.

I initially was excited about trying this new place here in Creacent city, but honestly for the price of the food the portions ARE disappointing. All the entrées are single so if you a burger & they ask you what you would like for a side its 3.50 for small handful of French fry's. so I ordered the club & was taken back by the fact it had store bought lunch meat it Only came with two slices of meat for my club sandwich .def didn't look like the menu picture I paid 17.50 for the sandwich & 3.50 for my side. read more

Great food! And great pastries. Wonderful Western Burger. Good service. A good time was had by all.

From the moment we walked in service was both attentive and friendly. They hand out stickers to kids which were well received and kept my kid entertained. Food was great! Western Burger and Redwood Burger, best burgers I've had in a while. Had a side of the Mac N Cheese, perfect texture and a great home style taste. Laidback vibe with 80s background music. Great place to spend our last night in Crescent City. read more

Came here for dinner and James was a fantastic server! This place is super welcoming and friendly, feels very homey. The Mac n cheese was so amazing. It healed something inside of me. Definitely will be coming will be coming back!! Great place!! read more

Everything about this place is excellent. The food is homemade, the burgers are out of this world, not premade dry patties, fried chicken like grandma used to make, excellent coleslaw, homemade mac & cheese, homemade desserts and the service is above and beyond. Recommend HIGHLY. read more

The food and service are 5 stars. We were hungry and a bit desperate for a late lunch since our first place was closed. The group was a bit skeptical the 4.9 rating could be true, but it lives up to the star rating. The food came out quickly and was so tasty. I'm eating some of it for a leftover dinner. We'll go here again and send others too. read more

We ended the day at this awesome little eatery, in Crescent city, the burgers were Great and were a generous portions size, everything came out fast and fresh/piping hot, we met the owner operators who were just 24 and 25 years old and we're wowed but their professionalism and desire to provide excellent food products and service.

Food was pretty delicious! However, they did forget 2 sides of Mac n cheese, as well as getting the wrong salad dressing despite being recorded correctly on the receipt. Tried calling back a few times to try and ask for Mac n cheese but they never picked up... read more

This place hit the spot after a hike in Grove of Titans. The staff very kid friendly. The server had sheets of sticker so kids could make a picture while waiting for the food to come. The server said the kids could have the pictures hung on their wall gallery. My kids chose to take them home. I had the fried chicken plate with side of Mac and cheese, some onion rings, and a biscuit Fried chicken was great, 2 large drumsticks and a thigh, crispy, hot, and moist. My son took my biscuit and Mac& cheese. My son age 10 gobbled his adult size Mac & cheese. Waiter was able to get a side order of 2 slices of bacon for my picky eater daughter. Also ordered a curly fries basket, huge portion. read more

Solid four stars are well deserved for this quaint newer restaurant in the downtown neighborhood of the smallest northern city in California run by a couple who are dedicated in making the quality foods including fresh fried chicken and onion rings with coleslaw and French fries. This is the only restaurant around here where you can find real French fries! Other than the fast food joints like McDonald or Burger King, no other restaurant has the expensive hood and deep fryer that can deliver pretty decent fries and onion rings. This time the batter for the chicken was not good, but the rest of foods were pretty decent. read more

Passing through town, stopped here because my daughter is named Elise and we took it as a good sign. We were not disappointed. The Redwood burgers were juicy and flavorful just as they were. They didn't need any condiments whatsoever. And the onion rings were delicious, too. Friendly service and overall amazing dining experience. If ever in town again, will make this a regular spot. read more

Stopped here on a whim on our way to the Redwoods Park and lucky us because this place is an absolute gem. Very casual, low key dining. Most delicious chicken strips and Mac N Cheese. The mixed berry crumble was to die for! Amazingly sweet owner who hooked us up with some apple muffins to go at no cost. I can see why this place always has high ratings! read more

On our latest trip to Crescent City we did a quick search for someplace new to eat (past experience has given us few options). We landed at Elise's on a Saturday afternoon. All of the tables were full when we arrived with another couple waiting for a table also. After about a fifteen minute wait we were seated. The dining room was clean. Table service was for ordering only with patrons bussing their own table. We chose the Western Burger, a 6 piece chicken strip meal and a fried chicken plate. We added fries to the two chicken meals (they came with mac & cheese and a biscuit). The burger was HUGE, I'm not a small eater and I had to force myself to eat 2/3rds. The taste was excellent and the upgrade to onion rings really hit the spot. My wife had the chicken strip meal and a three piece would have been fine (we had three leftover). She very much enjoyed the strips and biscuit, she also enjoyed the added fries. Wasn't a fan of the mac & cheese, but she's always picky about that item. Our son had the friend chicken meal and devoured every bite including the mac & cheese. We ordered two pieces of the lemon cake, one for the wife and I to share and one for my sone. Very sad we shared, it was moist and delicious. If you find yourself in Crescent City just go. PS. The restaurant is owned and run by three young friends, minimal staffing made service a bit slow but the food more than made up for the wait. read more

A big thank you to Elise's Eatery for the delicious lunch today. They made us an assortment of 30 sandwiches complete with salad, dressing, and ziploc bags containing silverware, napkins and condiments. Kristen even taped assorted chips to each bag so folks could grab and go with their boxed lunches. Not only were the sandwiches delicious, she made home made brownies too. So good. If you need a quick picnic lunch on the go for a group of hungry people, I hope you give Elise's a call. You won't be disappointed. read more

I loved the mural painted on the wall by a local artist depicting the lighthouse in town. We had the Redwood burger and Macaroni and cheese. They were both delightful! We took some of the peach/berry cobbler for breakfast tomorrow. It looks GREAT! Service was very friendly. It doesn't look like much from the outside but we felt it was an excellent find for dinner. read more
