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.

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.

Food was decent. Fried chicken meal had good fried chicken but the sides were just okay, lukewarm runny Mac and cheese, dry biscuit, and coleslaw. Burger was good, but not amazing.

Showing half of the Redwood Burger and a Chicken Strips from my husband's basket.

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.

The blue building hosts the restaurant and a surf shop.

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. Except for take-outs I was the first customer at noon but shortly after the place begin to fill up. A large parking lot is just across the street.

We were traveling home to Oregon and stopped for lunch, thank you Yelp!! The restaurant was spotless as were the restrooms. Hub had a cheese burger, 7oz, and I had the chicken tenders with curly fries. We both absolutely loved it, next time we are getting the onion rings and hub fried chicken they looked delicious. The owner waited on us and could not have been any nicer. We've tried 2 other top restaurants but they definitely fall short compared to this quaint little place. read more

Excellent little joint! Yummy food. Kind of a hole in the wall, only two people are running the entire place which makes it feel mom and pop - but be prepared to wait a little, cause that's a lot of work for just two people. The gal was nice as can be and took such good care of us. We dropped by while on a family trip and I'm so glad we did!!! Btw if you order the chicken tender meal the proportions are meant to feed the hulk!! Definitely shareable! Wish I had taken pictures but we were too hungry for a photo op. read more

Great lunch spot right across from the harbor!…read more We had a nice, cozy lunch break here. The restaurant serves solid, traditional American fare with good portion sizes--everything our family ordered was tasty and filling. 1. What we ate: My husband had the California Benedict, I got the Santa Fe Scramble, and the kids ordered from the kids' menu (pancake with hard-boiled eggs, and a classic egg scramble with bacon, hash browns, and toast). Kid pancake came with scramble eggs but they acomódate my youngest request and he got hard boiled egg instead. 2. Drinks: Peach smoothie, white mocha, and regular drip coffee. They also have a full coffee bar on-site. Vibe & Tip: The decor is rustic and charmingly local, featuring indigenous artwork, antler light fixtures, and comfortable wooden chairs. The interior is a bit dated and the restrooms could use a little attention, but the atmosphere is cozy overall. Pro tip: Ask to sit upstairs for a great view of the marina!

They offer a 5% discount if paying in cash, there is an onsite ATM. Definitely would return and recommend.

The BEST burger joint ever! Even if you don't know quite what you want but have a craving, talk to Kjirsten, she always has the perfect suggestions. My family is very picky, my husband likes his burgers cooked just the right way and now he doesn't like burgers from anywhere else. I try not to eat hamburger but was craving a mushroom Swiss burger, Kjirsten recommended eggplant instead of hamburger and now I can't get it out of my head because it was sssoooo delicious! I have been telling all my vegetarian friends, eat at Elisa's, the best burger joint ever! read more

So we were looking for a quick stop and saw Elise's with burgers and chicken. As we got closer, we read reviews and it had high remarks. There were six of us and we order all different foods off the menu. The service was great and the staff made us feel welcomed immediately. The burgers, chicken, cole slaw, fries and onions rings tasted great just like the reviews said. What really made the complete experience were the sauces that were served with the food. I would totally recommend this eatery to locals and visitors like us. :) read more

Service is good food is basic,chicken tenders are made in house yet without love.chicken is simply dipped and fried when they could be pressed down to flatten and shorten cook time. Not leave the chicken strips super thick and make them take longer to cook.dessert portions are also very small. You can order a sliver of a pie for dessert.Alabama white sauce had the consistency of water. For having 5 menu items alot more could be done. WEAK read more

Very good fried chicken, I got fried chicken drums/thigh and pretty good, golden fried chicken, good house made ranch, polite staff that kindly gave me a OTH dessert. So ofcourse amazing service and great housemade dessert. Nice friendly atmosphere that was busy but very welcoming. Curly fries are also amazing, I have to come back and try the special sauces. 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

We aren't from around the area and decided to stop by to check out their food! The food was amazing and the staff was even better. They had a very nice selection of burgers. We got the western and the redwood burgers and they were 10/10. I would definitely recommend their sweet potato fries as well! We will be coming back if we are ever in the area!! read more

Service was great, everyone was very nice. Food was really good, I enjoyed their vegetarian burger made with eggplant (which I'm almost never a fan of). My boyfriend enjoyed his regular burger and Mac and Cheese too. Their cookie was good too. Highly recommend. read more

Great lunch spot right across from the harbor!…read more We had a nice, cozy lunch break here. The restaurant serves solid, traditional American fare with good portion sizes--everything our family ordered was tasty and filling. 1. What we ate: My husband had the California Benedict, I got the Santa Fe Scramble, and the kids ordered from the kids' menu (pancake with hard-boiled eggs, and a classic egg scramble with bacon, hash browns, and toast). Kid pancake came with scramble eggs but they acomódate my youngest request and he got hard boiled egg instead. 2. Drinks: Peach smoothie, white mocha, and regular drip coffee. They also have a full coffee bar on-site. Vibe & Tip: The decor is rustic and charmingly local, featuring indigenous artwork, antler light fixtures, and comfortable wooden chairs. The interior is a bit dated and the restrooms could use a little attention, but the atmosphere is cozy overall. Pro tip: Ask to sit upstairs for a great view of the marina! We'd definitely eat here again if we're back in the area.

He said his grandmother owned a restaurant here or close by that was wiped out by the 1964 tsunami. My late lunch experience was delightful. I was greeted by the front counter staff.

While waiting the 10 minutes for my food buzzer to go off, I took pictures of the barking harbor seals, the restaurant and the beach activity. It was a sunny day. The food was to die for. A bit on the pricey side but that is to be expected for this location. No problem paying.
