Kristina's Restaurant - Chorizo Omelette - Diners Near Me - Eureka, California

Literally the best burger in the county! There is no other place like it. The atmosphere is nice like an old diner sort of feel with friendly faces and good food. Always busy so come on off times to get food quicker. Burger and fries are the way to go. Seriously the best read more

Passing through and stopped here based off reviews/rating. Yummy diner food with big portions! We were happily surprised & would go back and recommend. Friendly & prompt service. We had a ham & cheese omelette which was a huge portion with big chunks of ham, and a chicken wrap. The sweet potato fries & ranch that they use were delicious- And the side of fresh fruit was plentiful. It's a diner setting. We were early in the day so it was quiet but they started getting busier towards lunch but it wasn't crazy. read more

Considering the location, this restaurant was good. The Service was really good and they were friendly. There was a good amount of food and it did not taste too bad. The restaurant reminded me of a 90s/early 2000's restaurant with the ambience. I would go back. read more

This place has the best onion rings. I've gotten them regular and well done. I don't know how they do it. Service is always friendly and quick. Bathrooms are always clean. It's a cute old diner that pays tribute to Humboldt. Worth the price and a great place to dine time with loved ones. read more

Generously portioned comfort food. The menu rivals that of The Cheesecake Factory but with much friendlier staff and food that is clearly handcrafted. Diner style with lots of booth seating. Just off the freeway. read more

Always love this place. Nice atmosphere. Exceptional food and reasonable prices. Nice size servings if you have a larger appetite or easily enough food to split the meal read more

Kristina's Restaurant - Mexican Omlet and one of the scrambles - Diners Near Me - Eureka, California

They helped with breakfast at the adjoining hotel. But I wouldn't order food from there or walk over. Use the Limo.

Kristina's is a throwback place. Unfussy, but also reliably good. First off, we had the most cheerful server I have ever had at a restaurant! I wouldn't say there's a ton of ambiance, but it's a exactly what it needs to be. From our booth we could see the huge grill and vent hood - which looked sparkly and perfectly clean, too. I had a chicken cheese steak that came with really great fries. All of it hot from the grill or fryer. And a tasty strawberry lemonade with chunks of fresh strawberry floated on top. A great surprise! I can imagine that it's hard to get a table here on a weekend morning. Plus their menu is really expansive! read more

We found this place while driving to our hotel and decided to stop by after checking in. We're so glad we did as this place gave us Midwest diner vibes and the portions are huge! The worker was really sweet and helpful with the menu. For drinks, we got the hot chocolate and coffee. The hot chocolate was made of a semi-sweet chocolate and was good but I would've preferred milk chocolate. We got the popcorn shrimp as an appetizer and it was perfectly cooked as it was lightly battered so we could taste the flavor of the shrimp. The fries were crispy on the outside but wasn't on the inside and tasted fresh. For mains, we got the tater tot nachos and the redwood club. The nachos were delicious as the portion was huge and there was a good amount of toppings such as cheese and sour cream on top. The redwood club was perfectly toasted and the cheese was nicely melted on the grilled chicken. The sandwich also came with a good amount of avocado pieces as well. I would definitely recommend this place and would come back if I'm ever in the area! read more

Solid good diner food. Our server, Kim, was great! Burgers were good, cooked to temp, big and filling. Fries were good. So was the French dip. Ice tea was yummy and our glasses were kept full. We will try for breakfast next time! The menu is a novel but seems they manage to make it work! Can't go wrong with the variety...something for everyone. We enjoyed ourselves. read more

We were in town for the redwood walk, and decided to try this place for dinner. We were starving after a long day, so no pictures were had. We had the chicken fried steak, patty melt and two burgers. The portions were generous, and what you'd expect from an American Diner. The food was good diner food, but what really blew our experience out of the water was Paige! She was super kind and helpful, and made it a fun night for our kids! Please give her a raise, she is wonderful! read more

Food is awful and definitely pre made in a factory and then frozen. Super expensive for crummy food. Maybe their breakfast is better. I will never return here. I don't mind paying 30$ for a plate if it's good but this food is no better than what you get at Walmart in the frozen food isle. Don't bother coming here if you want your food actually prepared by a chef. read more

Excellent breakfast foods and a very welcoming experience in this truly "old time looking" diner! Come get your breakfast foods here: you will not regret it. We had the biscuits and gravy and the 3 egg and sausage links breakfast and combined them to get the best of both worlds- needles to say: we are satisfied and happy! Prices are good too!! We ate our food too fast - lol- no food pictures today! read more

one word: Diarrhea also why did everything taste like it was freezer burned??? So confused by this place considering its prime location I would say they get lots of tourists...please don't let this be your memory of Eureka! read more

Kristina's was just what I wanted - a nice diner where they serve generous portions of classic favorites. HUGE menu; 10 pages of stuff! I went back the next day for a second meal. I want a Kristina's t-shirt! read more

This place is medium sized with lots of windows to make it nice and bright. Menu has a lot of options, so I am sure you will find something you are craving. Breakfast all day is always a plus. I had the corned beef 3 egg breakfast with hash browns and scrambled eggs. The corned beef was awesome! It was tender and flavorful, just the right amount of salt. The hash browns were excellent as well, nice and crispy on the outside and moist on the inside . My husband ordered the ham and cheese crepe with country potatoes. The crepe filling was perfect but the hollandaise was broken and looked unappetizing to me. The potatoes could have used more seasoning and were unevenly cooked. My husband ate his fill but wasn't impressed with his food like I was. Service was great as well. The staff were friendly and always wore smiles. Our coffee mugs were never close to empty or cold. All in all a good experience for both us! read more

Kristina's Restaurant - Homemade Corned Beef with eggs and Hashbrowns - Diners Near Me - Eureka, California

Service was 5 stars, large portions and convenient location next to the motel we were staying at. Besides that, food was WAY too greasy. A cheesesteak roll should not be dripping in oil or butter on the OUTSIDE of it, so gross. Just toast the bread or use a a fresh italian roll, no need to douse in extra calories. It was about inedible and I just ate the inside of the sandwich. Fries were decent. Nachos were huge. read more

We stopped in after driving Avenue of the Giants, heading to PCH. Our waitress was so cheerful, we ordered French dip and fries and Patty Melt and fries. Our food came quickly, there were only a few other patrons. You never know with French Dip, if a restaurant serves good beef or if it's fatty. This beef was perfect. Huge side of fries, I couldn't finish them. The patty melt , according to my husband, was very good as well. The poor waitress was running her tail feathers off, as more customers came in, as well as to go orders being picked up. She was extremely kind and sweet to everyone. They really need to hire another waitress. She was literally running at times. Good diner food, reasonable prices and nice service. Give that girl a raise! read more

It's a diner. If you're the type of person who likes the availability of every basic American meal in existence, and not much more, this is the place for you. It is also good for people-listening, as there were plenty of conversations going on that I'd politely describe as 'interesting', i.e. "What the hell is scampi?" "When is your ex wife going to pay you back" and "Let me try to sell you some trinkets". Who says that town eateries have lost their character? read more

The food was super tasty and prices very reasonable. We ate here for dinner and breakfast while staying next door. The staff was friendly and gave quick service. I'd absolutely come back if we're ever visiting Eureka again :) read more

The food is good. Large portions and priced well. One problem. They need a senior menu!

The service and demeanor were professional, courteous, and prompt. The ambiance was comfortable and inviting. The food, quality of preparation, and presentation were good. The taste, seasoning, and temperature of the breakfast were on par. Everything was nominal, of a reasonable level, and an ample menu with a variety of choices for breakfast, lunch, or dinner was apparent, at a reasonable price. read more

We were passing through Eureka and decided to stop by Kristina's due to the positive reviews and the fact that a few in our party were craving breakfast for dinner. Parking is available in their private lot, and the establishment itself is HUGE, with tons of seating options. We were able to get seated pretty quickly, and our waitress Michelle was pretty attentive and efficient throughout the meal. She even provided our table with quite a few condiment options without us needing to ask. For our meal, we opted for a half sandwich with clam chowder, a ham quesadilla, corned beef & eggs, and I had the NY Steak and Eggs. The prices were very reasonable, and the portion sizes were quite generous. Everyone agreed that the food was delicious, and even my MIL, who typically eats very little, managed to clean her plate. For my order of NY Steak and Eggs, they did overcook my steak. As I ordered a medium rare, and it came out medium well. But the overall meal was still delicious, and the steak did have a nice sear on the outside. Aside from the overcooked steak, we really enjoyed our dining experience here. And would definitely recommend Kristina's for anyone who finds themselves in or passing through Eureka! read more

This place was AMAZING! Sundaes were delicious and well priced! For sure recommend the Saturday Sundae. The breakfast is exceptional along with the burgers. The workers were so nice and service was amazing! Totally recommend! read more

Exhaustively huge menu. You want it, they've got it! (Seems very similar to Pepper's menu, so possibly affiliated?) Very pleasant and prompt initial service, but not especially good at following up. Massive sized portions. The soup & salad and the 1/2 sandwich & soup combos came with full bowls of soup. Will definitely be back. read more

The waitress was overworked and frazzled. (Not her fault) tons of dirty tables. fries were ice cold. Cali burger just fell apart. And after we finished the waitress didn't come back for a long period of time. Then she showed up, and said she forgot to give us our check. The waitress was really nice. It's a good place. Just a hard day. Sundays seem to be super busy. It's not usually so stressful to eat here. read more

Didn't know what to expect coming in here. All I knew is we checked Yelp and it had a high rating so we picked it for breakfast/brunch. The place is easy enough to find, and parking is shared with the hotel/motel in the same vicinity so no need to worry about getting towed if you are eating here. My expectations started to shoot downward as we walked into the restaurant. We were greeted by a homeless fella who opened the door for us, then inside looked like we stepped back in time. So I wasn't expecting much from here, but things got better. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive. I got the Acapulco scramble, and kids got a couple of kids pancakes and wife got an order of pancakes as well. Food was delicious and thats really all we expect. A nice touch is they shaped the kids pancake into Mickey. That put a smile in my kids faces. Everything tasted good. Pancakes were fluffy and had the right texture. My other child ordered French Toast but I never got to try it so I guess that's their way of saying it was good. I thoroughly enjoyed my Acapulco scramble. They didn't skimp on the sour cream and avocado. Can't go wrong with brunch/breakfast here. It was reasonably priced as well. read more

Came here 3 out of the 4 days I was staying at the best western and for good reason. The food is absolutely amazing and the staff couldn't be any friendlier! They were all so sweet and made eating there very comfortable .the food is also fairly priced for the portion sizes. I'd put 6 stars if I could highly recommend! read more

This is Eureka's diner. The food is good and the portions are large. The service is also good. The atmosphere is like that of a classic American diner. My only complaint is that there aren't smaller portions available at a lower cost for guests who might just want to eat less and pay less. If you love large portions and leftovers then this is the spot for you. The food is priced right, it's just too much for some of us. So if you eat less like I do then consider sharing an entree. Note: If you're traveling through town and considering this place or IHOP don't second guess and come here especially for breakfast. read more

This is a solid American diner experience. The portions are quite large. The price is very reasonable.

This is a good old-fashioned coffee shop that has been here for years and years. Back in the 70s, this was Eureka's "Sambo's." This place has always had good food. I was visiting Eureka for Christmas weekend, so I decided to stop for breakfast on the morning of Christmas Eve. The place is bright and spotless on the inside, and everybody is very friendly. I was seated and given a menu right away. The menu has a lot of different choices. I chose the tri-tip omelette, with fruit instead of potatoes. It comes with three eggs, tri-tip, sautéed mushrooms and onions, and Swiss cheese. I don't like it when the cheese "blows out" the omelette, so I asked for light cheese, and that's exactly what I got. The food came very quickly, and it was amazing! There was a very large portion of tender, well, seasoned, tri-tip, the veggies were also seasoned, well, and not too firm or mushy I'm glad I asked for the light cheese, because it was just the right amount. It was basically a Philly cheesesteak omelette without the green peppers. I enjoyed it immensely. I also got a very large portion of fruit. The coffee is delicious, and they continuously come by to make sure that your cup is full The price for breakfast was very reasonable, plus, if you are military or a veteran , they will also give you a small discount. I was very happy with my breakfast, and I will be back. Thank you. read more

Again, while on my Eureka trip, this restaurant was situated next door within walking distance. I ended up eating here for 3 nights because I fell in love with the convenience and the wings. I ended up having two different burgers and a breakfast burrito for dinners. Everything was satisfactory, and the waitresses were always pleasant and attentive. read more

The food was mediocre. We ordered Monte Cristo sandwich & the bread tasted like French toast & the ham did not come from a deli. I did not care for it. The sauce on the lasagna was watered down. The hamburger was ok & the claim chowder was also watered down. The service was great but for the price o the food, we would not come back. read more

Service was good for a weekend lunch. Portions were larger. Not many healthy options, but a good place for a steak sandwich.

The food was wonderful and the servings are huge!! You will not walk away hungry. Our server was so cheery and nice. Definitely give this place a try, it won't disappoint! read more

Had just got into town and needed a place for lunch. Stopped at Kristina's. We shared a meal of Turkey with Mashed potatoes and Gravy. It was enough for two. The waitress was excellent. The food was delicious and reasonably priced. We were too full but noticed they had good desserts so after dinner at another restaurant we decided to come back to Kristina's for dessert. We each go a dessert and shared them. We got a piece of chocolate cake and a piece ofApple pie with ice cream . Both were outstanding and our waitress and her trainee were exceptional. I highly recommend Kristina's. read more
