The best restaurant in the local area! Fantastic food and massive portions. A tiny bit pricey but very worth it for the portions you receive. read more

On a long drive, this was a welcome sight. Not being from Maine, or anywhere even close, had no idea we wouldn't have any food options on our way toward North Conway, NH. We were ready to settle for anything. And there, like a light shining down from heaven, were those outdoor Costco lights lighting a patio and inviting us to eat at this little gem. As there were a total of 4 cars on the street that night, we figured we'd walk right in. Apparently their reservations were booked up for the whole night. Wow this place must be good. Fortunately we were able to sit at the bar and eat a delicious burger and a glass of wine. It worked out great. Loved the ambiance. Loved the food. I doubt I'll find myself in Cornish, Maine again in my life, but if I do, I hope Krista's is still around. read more

The place to eat in Cornish. Just amazing, fresh food. Whatever you will get you will never be disappointed. It is just constantly good food! Their soups are to die for! Highly recommend booking in advance if you want a table for diner during the weekend. read more

Always has great food! Great staff! Seating could be better but other than that it's fantastic. Foods always delicious and the desserts are to die for! The drinks are even better! Definitely returning! read more

We love Krista's. The food is amazing - we have had breakfast and dinner at Krista's a few times now and each time the food was fresh and prepared superbly! The drinks are delicious too! read more

No customer service. We made reservations for thanksgiving dinner. The restaurant called us the day before asking us to come In earlier because they had cancellations. Clearly other people knew how terrible their customer service is... we arrived five min before our reservation and were told to hang out while another table was leaving. We had drinks, which we happily paid for. Then we kept waiting. The team at Kristas offered no info about when we would eat. This is after twenty mins and a lot of asking. FINALLY we asked for some bread PLEASE because we had already completed changed out schedule to accommodate this ungrateful restaurant. They gave us bread and didn't offer water or complimentary drinks or nothing. Instead they offered us a garbage table they weren't even seating people at. We said no. Another twenty min and nothing. We talked to a manager named Michele whose leadership apathy trickles down to all team members and she said she was sorry they couldn't do anything. So thank you to Kristas for absolutely ruining our thanksgiving and losing who were lifelong customers. Kristas May have good food but they give no thanks to any customers much less customers who go out of their way to help them out. Thanks for nothing Kristas read more

Awesome prime rib! A little pricey but worth the expense. Great service! Fantastic menu. They have a great breakfast.

I have been to Kristas on numerous occasions and have dubbed it "my happy place"... The food is excellent and the service is TOP NOTCH. That said, my favorite thing about Kristas is the hand crafted cocktails. I can't go without having their signature Maine Blueberry Martini. A definite must have when you visit Krista's in Cornish! read more

Krista's is the BEST!!!!! The help is incredible and the food is over the top!!! A hidden gem that is SO well worth it. Met Krista and she is a DOLL. You will so NOT be disappointed. Food is amazing. Want this to be my birthday dinner! read more

4 of us went to the Sunday brunch. We were told that to avoid a lengthy wait we should plan to arrive after 10:30. We did and were seated promptly. This is a rather large restaurant but it "rambles" so it seems almost intimate despite its size. Once seated, our waitress arrived almost immediately. The menu is a bit overwhelming and she really helped us through it and also told of the 4 or so "specials" being offered. She was a wonderful server and was attentive throughout our meal. I had 1 of the specials - eggs Benedict served over 2 sausage patties and sautéed vegetables - along with a huge side of fried potatoes. I've got a good appetite but was only able to eat about 50% of the serving. I found this entray to be exactly as advertised - but simply too large for me - a smaller portion would have been preferable. 2 of our party had poached eggs over grilled vegetables. The 4th person in our group had a western omelette- again, a substantial portion. Would definitely give this restaurant extremely high marks and we'll return again this summer. read more

The food is delicious and the staff is amazing! They offer different specials every week which I often choose. The drinks specials are the best. The desserts are wonderful, but we are usually so full that we need to get something to go. Top notch all around. read more

Really fun place for such a small town. The service was great, and the atmosphere on the outdoor terrace above the little stream is unexpected and very nice. Food is good although the portions are huge. Our group ordered an app to share before the main courses and it was way too much food. If you're in this part of Maine this place is worth a visit. read more

I had Beef Stroganoff with butternut squash ravioli, first the beef was stew beef overcooked, dry and braised. The ravioli was not in any way a compliment to the beef. It should not be STEW BEEF. And this is not the way to make Beef Stroganoff. Terrible Meal! My husband ordered Prime Rib and it was very difficult to slice as it was served in a bowl. The steak knife was useless. New silverware would be a big improvement. Finally, this is the second time I have been harassed by a FLY, it was constant, between our table and the one next to us. P.S. The table next to us, one of the ladies ordered corned beef sandwich, it came without corned beef. There was no apology, the waitress laughed and we could hear the kitchen staff laughing also! Seriously! I will have to wait a long time before I go back. Just not good. read more

My husband and I love this place! It is the best food in our area and the experience is always great. We love to sit and enjoy a drink at the bar or split a bottle of wine on the patio in summer watching the tourists shop. I bring friends here whenever I get the chance. read more

Excellent restaurant, great atmosphere, great staff, can't say enough. Good selection of food and drink. I had the Ruben and it didn't disappoint. Highly recommended. read more

Great place to eat, be merry and have a wonderful time. Staff is marvelous it is a 2 minute drive from my house and we frequently eat there. The food is awesome, servings are plentiful. read more

Great Food, Great Service, Not Expensive. This a favorite restaurant of mine and my wife. The food is always fantastic and the service has always been great. They are friendly warm people and have always been attentive and quick. We love Krista's. read more

I like this place. The service is great, once you can get past the hostess ( who was very scattered). The fried brussel sprouts are amazing should definitely be tried. I like the chicken presto sandwich but was disappointed this time around as the chicken was pretty dry. My husband has the halibut special which was good but very lemony (although he ate it all). Their dinner salads are yummy and the desserts rock! Overall, a nice place in the area and I will keep going. read more

I spent an entire summer being told how great Krista's is. They gave me mixed reviews about their thoughts on the new renovations but nobody was negative on the food so I made the trip. I went during that slow lull between lunch and dinner. Personally, I liked the decor as it was homey and bright. I ordered a turkey avocado sandwich with sweet potato fries. What I received was this monstrous sandwich where the layers of turkey was at least 3" thick. However, the meal still felt light and tasted fresh. The sweet potato fries wee also very good. Plus I had leftovers which is always great and nearly unheard of when I have a sandwich entree. What made this experience not a 5 star was the service. Although the staff was friendly they weren't the most attentive. They seemed far more interested in getting ready for the dinner crowd than the patrons in the restaurant at that moment. The quality is worth the money at lest during the lunch hour. I have not tried the dinner or brunch but hear they are both excellent. read more

Every time we visit we have a memorable experience. The atmosphere, the food, the place exudes the love of community and sharing of food that makes an evening out more than merely enjoyable, it's magical. That's all before desert too! read more

Krista's has the best breakfast I have ever had in my life. I cannot speak to lunch/dinner, but I'm sure it's all just as amazing. We come up here to visit my father-in-law each summer and we always make sure to stop. Large mugs of coffee and the best french toast/toast you'll ever taste. I wish she was closer to home and not 3 hours away! Definitely worth the drive if you're in the area. You will be glad you did! read more

Love Krista's. They have amazing food, but don't come here expecting lunch on the weekend before 1pm. We got here before noon. They serve breakfast on the weekends, and have to shut down the kitchen to turn over for lunch. We finally got to order at 12:55. read more

Back for a third time. Excellent Beef Stroganoff and Statler Chicken. Wonderful ambience. pleasant waitstaff. Excellent drinks. Very good cake and coffee for dessert. A pleasure every time read more

Charming little restaurant, very good food, slightly slow but friendly service.

Very good service. Good variety of meals. All dishes were big so even though it was a little bit pricy, it was worthy. Desserts were amazing! read more

My husband and I decided to go to lunch at Krista's yesterday. So did everyone else. I watched as the waitstaff went right into plan B, very adroitly, to accomodate the increase in customers, We sat at the bar and received great service along with smiles and a sense of humor from our server. I don't feel the need to talk about the food because it is always fabulous. The server however stood out for many reasons, but one in particular. I watched as she prepared a pear martini. She cut a fresh pear and ground it. When she was ready to put it into a glass, she reached for a glass that had just come out of the dishwasher. When she realized the glass was warm, she reached into the fridge for a cold glass. I thought how many other servers would actually care if your glass was warm or cold. This attention to detail is what I love about Krista's. read more

OMG. Simply amazing.....my brother lives about 10 minutes from Kristas and we have never gotten in. Made reservations and it did not disappoint. Everyone's meal was out of this world. Generous portions, fresh food and fantastic service!!! read more

All around great! Had lunch there on Wednesday, and going back for dinner tonight...to celebrate my love's birthday.

Okay, but not as good as I would have expected based on the other reviews. Dinner for two (2 starters, 2 mains, 3 wines, 2 beers, 1 dessert) $115 excl tip. Yummy smoked salmon cakes with roasted corn sauce, but too salty for me. Good tenderloin with horseradish sauce, but came with burnt potato pancake (mentioned to waitress and she tell the chef to be more careful next time). Yummy pasta with veal sausage and smoked mozzarella. Very large portion, could have been presented a bit better. Very nice Pinot and some good tap beers. Overall, good meal, but I'd prefer smaller less salty portions with a bit more attention to perpetration and presentation. read more

Love it! The food, service and atmosphere is great... Definitely worth trying. I love the new renovations and the new bar!!

Gone here a bunch of times for breakfast. Absolute delicious and at a reasonable price. The hash is wonderful and omelets are loaded up with goodness whether it is meat or vegetable based. Kids love the pancakes and french toast (french toast a bit dry sometimes). Staff is attentive and happy. Nice establishment! Enjoy read more

I have been here many times. I have only been for dinner though, great drinks, try the Godiva Martini if you love chocolaty goodness! I have never had a bad meal. Always great times, especially with great friends.....this is why it can get a bit loud but that doesn't matter. Hardwood floors, small, cozy setting! My absolute favorite dessert is Krista's ice cream sandwich made with the homemade cookies and vanilla ice cream, it is rolled in chocolate ganache and then rolled in nuts!!! Yum! The scallops are always delicious and cooked to perfection.......melts in your mouth! I recently discovered a new favorite, the Gorgonzola Chicken! The Pistachio Haddock is awesome too.....I don't care for cucumbers and it has a cucumber relish that was delish! If you love a large, filling sandwich, try the Poultrygeist......huge fried chicken breast, fries, etc. I think I have tried almost everything on their dinner menu with no complaints.......except wanting more. I also heard they may be expanding their bar area!!!! read more

I have eaten here several times! Food is superb !! Wait staff is courteous and prompt! Note .... if it's a really cold night book later can be a little chilly as it's an older building ! read more

We had a delicious meal on a Saturday night for my birthday, it was busy but they kept everything moving. The place is adorable inside, small but plenty of seating. The staff is friendly and always had a smile on their face. We got the Tuscan quesadilla as an appetizer, and for meals we got Gorgonzola chicken and pistachio haddock, all of them were amazing. We took dessert to go and enjoyed the chocolate cake and coconut cake later. We will be back! read more

When I come to the area to visit family. I'm always on a search for great food. The remoteness and outdoor lifestyle don't always play well to quality venues. This place is worth a try. Apps, salads, main course all cooked to perfection. Service fabulous!!! read more

Gotta drop them a few stars. Their homemade potato and sweet potato fries are now frozen. I think they may have stopped making their own BBQ sauce for the pulled pork, it tastes like Stubbs sauce now, it was still good just not great.My wifes chicken pesto sandwich was eh. The chicken was not even tenderized. My sons Cheeseburger was great and the tollhouse cookie pie was also great. The chocolate cake was not really special. The Chili is still really nice. read more

Loved the corned beef hash and poached eggs. Great attentive service and big cups of coffee make the wait worth it!

EXCELLLENT is the only word I would use to describe this restaurant. They have amazing food, a great atmosphere, friendly and helpful staff. The price is high for the area, but well worth every penny! If your visiting Maine you HAVE to eat here! read more

Great lunch. Hubby's turkey Ruben was delish... Fresh roasted turkey and great sauerkraut. My lobster roll was perfection including just the right amount of lemon and brioche bun. Really appreciated the friendly quaint atmosphere and the fact our four legged friend was allowed to sit on the patio with us while we dined. Keep up the tasty work krista's! read more

Very nicely renovated space overlooking the river. Large portions of fresh, homemade food. Amazing house-made dessert selection. Really reasonable prices and friendly service. And a great location right in Cornish so you can check walk to the nearby shops as well. I'll be back! read more
