Glad to have found this place from a quick search while in this area on an empty stomach and starving. It's a great diner with lots of great comfort foods that will have you leaving full and satisfied. It was really tough deciding what to get but the pot roast noodle special sounded so good and so unique. I've never heard of anything like it and decided to go for it. I wasn't disappointed. It was like having a really thick minestrone soup on top of really tender beef topped over a bed of soft noodles. Got a really nice side salad to start and then finished with a take home rice pudding (which I sprinkled some cinnamon on for added enjoyment). Really great atmosphere with really fast and friendly service. Everything you could ask for in a local diner. Can't wait to come back here again soon. read more

Kristina's Café in St. Petersburg is the kind of place that makes you feel right at home the moment you walk in. The service is both professional and incredibly friendly -- everyone treats you like family. You can tell it's family-owned because there's so much heart in everything they do. The food? Absolutely delicious. Fresh, fast, and generous portions that leave you full but still wanting more. Every dish feels like it was made with love. From start to finish, it was such a great experience I genuinely didn't want to leave. So, I came back the next day. This is one of those rare spots where warmth, quality, and care come together perfectly. Highly, highly recommend! read more

We had a late breakfast on a Tuesday morning. Great staff and generous well prepared food that arrived quickly. Exceptionaly clean. We loved it this was our first time eating there. read more

Food was fine, servings are good but customer service sucks. Expect your server to disappear and be stranded for most of your meal and for other servers to be loudly boasting how much they make off people while on the clock sitting and working. Servers would rather talk with each-other for 30 minutes in front of your face and avoid eye contact for service than actually make sure you're okay before doing whatever. The ambiance is nice, i've been coming here since I was a kid and i'm so disappointed with the new workers and overall atmosphere of Kristina's now. read more

The omelet I ordered was way over done, brown and dry. I asked that it be made again. It was marginally better. I won't be back even though it is a very convenient place for me to go. I've never been impressed with most of the male servers and cashier. It seems like they have to be there, with no business in the service industry. read more

I always love visiting Kristina's for so many reasons. The food is consistently delicious and clearly made with care, the staff is kind, courteous, and efficient, and the prices are very reasonable. I've never had a bad meal or a bad conversation here, and I always look forward to stopping by whenever I can. read more

I got the shepard's pie and was let down. It had way more corn (and no other veggies) than anything. Hardly any seasoning and melted American slices of cheese. That's 3 strikes for me. I would have preferred more meat and potatoes and maybe some peas. Shredded cheddar would have made all the difference. Plus side is food got there quick, waitress was friendly and accommodating and they have Pepsi products. read more

I love this place. It feels like family big portions and the food tastes great. I love the family. That's a part of this restaurant and the people that work. There are so great to you. The food is great, especially for a breakfast joint. read more

Kristina's Cafe - Egg Breakfast with Polish Kielbasa - American Near Me - Saint Petersburg, Florida

The service was great. BRING A JACKET, ITS FREEZING INSIDE! The country fried steak was good; however, the cream of broccoli soup (not pictured) wasn't my favorite at all. The spaghetti could've been more flavorful. The rice pudding (or bread pudding, if you wish) wasn't anything I'd ever tried before but I wasn't a fan. I'd definitely try other food as there were tons of options! read more

It is not a fancy place for a meal It is a small establishment, that is family owned, and has been there for a few decades. It always sits ont he same spot and makes the same meals. This is traditional home cooking. Nothing fancy with that. It is what you expect and what you will receive. To me it is a place you might go with your parents and then come back with your own friends or children. It is that type of place. We decided to go for dinner after coming out of a meeting. It was about 530pm and a good time to visit. We stepped inside and it was not too crowded. Many empty tables. We sat down and the waitress came over to help us out. We had a large menu to select from. It is truly breakfast, lunch and dinner no matter what time you are there. We had a menu for everything. This being Tuesday the specials were for Tuesday. These are items you do not see on other days or in the menu every day. It is Tuesday. The interesting thing it was items I have not seen in years. The last time I did was when my mother made it ages ago. We took our time and then decided. It was a spilt between someone for breakfast and someone for dinner. Perfect. I started with Split Pea Soup. That was special for tonight. It was original. This is they way we make it and they way we learned how to make it. This was not from a restaurant. This was made in the back the way you make it at home. It was creamy, think, just the right flavor. There were some onions, carrots, celery and slices of ham. Each use of the spoon made me feel I was back home for this. Then came the meal itself. We had the 2X Plate. This was two eggs, two bacon, and two pancakes. Again, this was home made style. Not out of a machine. It was the cook in the back making the dish for you. And it was fresh. The pancakes were large. Perfect for breakfast in the morning. Next I had the Pot Roast (beef) over egg noodles. When they brought it out I saw it as my mother made it. It was in a light red sauce. There were onions, carrots, peppers and slices of beef (3) that was so tender you did not need a knife to cut. It fell apart. The noodles had a touch of butter to make it fresh. Together I recalled what I ate as a kid. Almost like mom's. I knew how this was made. With my meal I also received dessert. This was bread pudding. The old style. It was again made in the back that morning. It was real bread. You could see the crust. It was creamy and tasty. Not sweet. Authentic. Ideal to remember the way we had it. Yes, this is an old establishment. Nothing fancy. Just good home cooking. And by 630pm it was getting packed. This is local neighbors coming in for the meal or the specials that night. We will be back. Maybe for breakfast next time....hmmmmm. read more

Great (and busy) breakfast spot in St. Pete. We've often passed it but didn't have time to stop in until recently. We got the pancakes for the kids and omelettes for ourselves. Very, very good omelettes!! The kids devoured the pancakes. Service was a little slow, but other than that it was a solid diner experience. read more

I stopped here for a quick meal on the way to the airport. The server was attentive while taking our order and recommended the orzo soup and apple pie. Both were mediocre at best. There was no follow up by the server as to why the food was not eaten. The restaurant windows and blinds were very dirty. There were several servers standing around doing nothing. The overall feel of the place was "off". Overally, would not go back to this place. read more

Saw the reviews and had to come! Unbelievable experience. Feels like your in your grandmothers basement with how homey and warm the vibes are in this place. Best sausage gravey open faced biscuit i have had in st pete by far! The food and service is top tier. **update** Came back less than 24hrs after my first visit! 5 stars read more

What a delightful dinner-esque spot to grab a bite to eat! I ordered the house omelette with home fries and white toast. The omelette was huge (3 eggs) and very filling. Service was prompt and restaurant had no wait around lunch time on a Monday. They also have lunch and dinner options and daily specials! read more

Still a solid place for breakfast, lunch and dinner but haven't been for dinner yet. Today we had some lunch. The chicken bacon melt was delicious. Fries nice and crispy. Deb had a gyro that had great flavors as well. The place is busy on the weekend but this crew works hard and efficient. You won't wait long for a table or your food. read more

This place was amazing! Service and food was great. Even went back again for the country fried steak and grilled muffin!

Kristina's is amazing!! I eat here at least once a week. I don't think I can make this food for these low prices! Portions are beyond generous and the staff couldn't be nicer! Thanks for such a great place! read more

Always good Should have delivery,!!! Food very good, however,at our age it's difficult to get out . read more

Great service, very clean good prices highly recommend staff was very friendly will come back again.

This two stars review in only for the breakfast atmosphere from 6:00 a.m. and 8:00 a.m... The food was very good, and the service was very good, but there are about 8 to 10 customers in a group there every day about this time with horrible language and one cannot take their wife there and enjoy a good breakfast. Tried to correct on three occasions but they they would not change their attitude about their manners, and the restaurant employees did not seem to notice read more

Mediocre It was busy for breakfast on a weekday morning. Service was a little confused and it was hard to get a coffee refill. The servers, however, were all very pleasant. I had the Cinnamon Swirl French Toast which was good. The French toast was cooked all the way through and not soggy in the middle like I often get at other places. The eggs were fine. The ham was thinly sliced and should have had a better sear, so nothing special. The grits were a big disappointment. They were very bland and had a gummy consistency. The addition of lots of butter, salt and pepper only helped marginally. The biscuit was pretty dense and only OK. Unfortunately, Kristina's won't become a regular on my list of breakfast favorites. read more

Haven't ever sat down inside to eat, but we order out on weekend mornings at least once a month and always have a good experience. Food is always hot and fresh and they never get the order wrong. Seems like a great environment on the inside and the staff seem family oriented and very friendly. read more

Good, fast friendly service at a reasonable price. Went for breakfast and was not disappointed.

Very nice staff, and clean dining area and restrooms. Many menu items to choose from, and breakfast served all day. I ordered the Greek salad, which also came with potato salad. Very fresh ingredients, and serving size was large. Saw other people's orders as they came out, and all of them look delicious! read more

Finally I got to come back to St Petersburg (tribute to the Rock) Kristina's was just as I remembered. Good portion of tasty gravy on nice sized biscuits and excellent fried potatoes. Have missed their breakfast. Don't know when I'll return but I will them. hope they are still here if I return read more

Our server today was Nikki and she was precious, friendly, professional and very attentive as well as the other servers. The cooks are always amazing and for the first time I had a club sandwich. The cheeseburger club. Loaded with meat and vegetables I was barely able to finish the whole thing. The restaurant is always clean and so are the restrooms. The atmosphere is festive and the sweet tea is always delicious. read more

If you want classic diner food you can't do much better than coming to Kristina's. The servers are always awesome, the food is reliable you know you're going to get good food here, there's something for pretty much everybody. This place is an institution. I was a little scared because I saw some construction going on and I was worried that it had gone away, but today I saw a sign that said they're open during construction so I am definitely happy about that. read more
