Adel's has become our favorite place stop anytime we in Eureka CA. Customer service is and has always been great, the servers took the time to help us, were attentive and polite making sure everything is perfect. Burgers and chili cheese fries are extremely delicious, nothing like we have at home. The food is so good you get to forget everything else, lol. Delicious and tasty on every bite of the burger and fries, the flavor's are just perfect. Can't wait to go back. The food and service have meet our expectations. This place is a must, I can't speak on the other reviews, we love it! read more

I've driven past this place hundreds of times. My boyfriend suggested it because he dug their chicken cesar. We went on a Friday night after a self prescribed 5k. The service was great, the ambience was like 90's modern, food was delish (loaded bake potato with chili and cheese are you kidding me?!) and all was impeccable clean. I will be back for the Mismosa bar. We dropped our atm card between the seats and the wall and weren't able to get it out. We went back the next night and explained it to the manager what happened. Someone was sitting in the booth. He offered to get it for us and call us. Sure enough he called us later that evening and said that it wasn't easy but he had gotten our card back! We are very impressed with Adel's all around. 10/10 read more

Food good service was slow . Our waitress could not get our order correct had to send it back twice still not correct but ate it anyway. I would not recommend going until they have better service over 35 minutes for our order to come out read more

Typical diner with diner food. Not the best in world but great for a diner and they had lots of variety on the menu. Cozy spot good enough food and feels safe. Staff was very kind. Portions are great. Sweet potato fries were delish. read more

This place sucks on the PICK UP SERVICE!! Yesterday i ordered STEAK W MASHED POTATOES and they gave me a MEDIUM WELL instead a MEDIUM RARE! I got so pissed when I got home and find it out. And also my mashed potatoes where dried as hell! Horrible. Steak had no flavor. I won't order to up here anymore in my life!!!! read more

The food and drinks were delicious. The servers were nice and the service was quick. We didn't have to wait long for our food. read more

Adel's Restaurant - California Skillet, Mexican Chorizo Benedict, Clubhouse Sandwich - American Near Me - Eureka, California

The food was good, but my menu pages were stuck together with something greasy and my spoon was dirty, turning me off to the meal from the get-go. Furthermore, I had a waffle and mimosa, but the flavoring mixed with the mimosa was settled at the bottom, making 1/2 of the drink virtually inedible. BF enjoyed his meal enough, but said he probably wouldn't go back. read more

We visited Adel's twice while our family was camping in the area. I appreciated the friendly staff and that there were decent vegetarian options available on the menu. Bonus was that each of my three kids found something they wanted to eat, and actually ate it. read more

Adel's Restaurant - California Benedict - American Near Me - Eureka, California

I would like to start this review out by giving our server Sidney a big thank you. Outstanding customer service with fantastic recommendations. We started our meal off with some gooey crispy mozzarella cheese sticks. Then moved on to some freshly made salads then perfectly cooked steaks and baked potatoes. Their dinner plates sure are big though so bring youre appetite!!! This was our first time here and we will definitely be coming back! I can't believe I have driven past this place for years and never tried it out. Thank you Adels for an amazing dining experience all around!!!! Keep up the good work!!!! read more

Great stop for breakfast. My steak was done perfectly. We both loved hashbrowns. Excellent service. You will enjoy breakfast here. read more

Adel's Restaurant - Ribeye steak and eggs and bacon and eggs. - American Near Me - Eureka, California

This place is fantastic! Large portions for the price, quality ingredients and meals, and a very kind atmosphere. Traveling from Portland and were pleasantly surprised at how great the steak dinners were! Service was excellent as well! read more

Came back in 2020 Trinity was an amazing waitress, super friendly and knowledgeable. However, when my CA omelette came the bacon, obviously precooked and reheated, was cold and hard and the cheese wasn't even melted. The country potatoes were great though and the well-done toast came out just as I ordered They just brought the bill and gave me a 20% discount on the bill - nice customer service! read more

In comparison to other diner restaurants, I'd go e this place 4 stars. Looking at it from the outside, the look of the building and signage is a bit striking still despite their recent repainting. So it kept me from trying this place for a while. We dined in this past weekend and was pleasantly surprised at how clean the restaurant was and well taken care of. The diner feel reminds me of an old Alton's restaurant but it was welcoming and every single one of the employees was courteous and prompt in their service. Not knowing what to expect, but seeing "steaks" on the sign, I tried the rib eye steak. It came with a delicious salad to start, and the steak itself came with veggies, baked potato, and garlic toast. The potato comes with butter and sour cream - lots! Though I would have liked come chives or cheese... the vegetables were cooked well, and the steak was tasty for a griddle style steak. I admit, I prefer steaks when they are smoked because the flavor is better but this was good overall and good quality for a diner steak. The one really "meh" part was the garlic toast. It was actually bread sandwich slices with a little cheese/garlic sprinkled on it. I'd advocate for a better bread... but overall the experience was good. There was an older crowd all around that seemed to frequent the restaurant- mostly grandparent types or grandparents with their grandkids. So I have a feeling the food is at least consistent based on the clientele. read more

There food is good, staff is friendly and it's a relaxing environment to enjoy a meal! I just wish they were open later than 4pm

There is no better place in Eureka for perfectly cooked meals and great service. We usually go for breakfast or lunch and the food is always delicious. Highly recommend. read more

My girlfriend and I split the california skillet as take out and it was soo flavorful. Even though we didn't stay to eat, the inside looked cute and all of the staff members were very nice and welcoming!! We will definitely be back to try more read more

Adel's Restaurant - Outdoor seatin - American Near Me - Eureka, California

Just had thanksgiving dinner at Adela and it was spot on delicious!! I would highly recommend going to this restaurant for any meal.

Standard fare. I ordered ToGo. Unfortunately, they do not salt their fries or offer to replace the flavorless dish but, I wasn't expecting the tone that was a stern reprimand that I need to request they be salted first. When you order fish and chips they don't include tarter sauce or lemon either. Out of convenience, I have ordered here, I can easily buy the battered fish at Costco and turn on the oven, because that's where they are from anyways. No reheated well enough, either. It was still frozen in the middle. read more

Immaculately clean, classic midcentury diner. Worth stopping just for experience alone. Very friendly stuff, delicious food and mimosas! Need I say more?! read more

Very disappointed. My husband and I travel a lot and we love Eureka. It has nice weather and red woods is close. We always stop to eat at Adel'e Restaurant. But yesterday's food was just awful. The burgers were average. The meat had a weird texture for me. Coleslaw on a side was tasteless. The lettuce in Caesar salad was yellow. Also, the salad had an unknown greasy sauce, not regular Caesar salad dressing. We got chicken popcorn where chicken wasn't fully cooked. Fries were fine. We also got chips where the meat was tasteless. Please, use salt! Needless to say it was our last time eating here. read more

I have eaten at "Mrs. G's", then "Adel's" Restaurant, for over 30 years. Was a customer at least 5+ times a week. I don't like to cook. As I was there last, had ordered my meal and was sitting there waiting on my food, I observed a newer waitress, who was attempting to take the orders of a group of people. I could see that there must have been some difficulties, by her body language and posturing, the tilting of head, the dropping of hands by her side, turning palms up, in the mannerism of maybe frustration, or surrender. A few minutes later, the waitress who was seemingly having difficulties with a larger party of guests came to the counter, maybe 3 feet from me, doing something on her order pad. As to be polite, I inquired, "How are you?" The girl stopped what she was doing, to raise her voice at loudly exclaim, (In her exact words) "I'm too busy right now, I do not have time to talk to you!" I did respond, "Wow! That was extremely inappropriate." calmly, while feeling a bit shocked and embarrassed. Unsure if she was listening, or even heard me. I strongly felt insulted and embarrassed by her loud outburst, with so many other customers nearby. Making me look like a 60+ year old pervert, trying to pick up on some young girl, or something. I was not flirting with her, nor asking for conversation. I only inquired of her on how she was. Only to be polite, as we were raised to be, in my generation. I had not intended any further exchange, beyond that. It would seem more reasonable, for her, to have just responded with something in the nature of: "I'm too busy to talk" - "Busy as Heck" - "I'm good, just busy" - etc. It would have taken less effort and time, being she was "busy". She exerted extra effort and time, just to be rude or aggressive. I realize that she may have been in distress, due to a former interaction, but that is not cause, nor justification, to inflict verbal abuse onto others. When I mentioned the outburst to my waitress, she justified the actions by stating that, "the people in the other seating area had been rude" to her. When I asked to speak with a management person, I was told that no one was available. After about four telephone attempts, I spoke with a lady who identified herself as management. I attempted to explain what had transpired, she was not really interested in what might have happened. I had to even ask her, (Exact words) "Do you even want to know what happened?" (In her defense, I did call around the noon lunch hour.) She responded, "I have customers, but I will listen." She did not suggest, request, or ask that I might call at another, or a recommended time. After all, it took 5 attempts, to get this far. It was clear to me, that she really didn't care about the incident. An experienced manager, or one who cared, would have made arrangements for a follow up call, or asked for a phone number. A month later, I was able to talk to Juan, the Manager. As we had discussed the incident, at the far end of the restaurant. Juan apologized, for the incident and I was just about ready to leave. We were interrupted by one of the waitresses, who walked up to us and said, "You're making us uncomfortable, so I'm calling the police." Juan, told her not to call the police. I volunteered to wait, if they had. I had done nothing and would appear guilty, if I left, to avoid police. I inquired to Juan, what I had done wrong or inappropriately. I asked, "Did I have a loud voice?" He answered, "No." I asked, "Was I violent?" "Juan responded, "No". I asked, "Did I use curse words, or threaten anyone?" He responded, "No". I waited for 18 minutes in the parking lot to see if the police came. Did not want to appear I was evading them. No cops showed up. The initial reason for the complaint to Adel's was, as a businessman, if someone working for me, representing my business, had interactions like these, I would definitely want to know. So the treatment of customers is not an important concern, it would seem. And any complaints are met with strong resistance, even to the threat of calling the police. read more

I had what was called a "Prime Rib Sandwich " today at Adel's. I don't think the meat was prime rib. It was dry and salty. Their French Dip sandwich is exactly like this. I inquired if the French Dip was masquerading as the Prime Rib sandwich and was assured that I was mistaken. I don't believe them. And, two sandwiches and two drinks came to $44+. In retrospect, my friend and I should have sent our sandwiches back. But we didn't. Darn. Karen Eureka read more

There were four of us for dinner and we all ordered ribeye steak and it was delicious! Seriously delicious. Tender, juicy and cooked just right. The server was great. She was attentive and personable! The restaurant was clean too. read more

A wide variety of food choices. The mimosas are tasty too. The staff is friendly and helpful.

Limited children's menu selections but great portion sizes... so it's a good bang for your buck. Reasonable prices overall. The Denver Omelet was delicious. The waitresses and hostesses were very personable and attentive. read more

Food has gone down hill recently as prices have gone up a lot:l. Frequent here about once a week, but tonight the old gentlemen at the table next to me got a $20 steak that was cooked way beyond the medium he had ordered and the waitress went to get the manager. Waitress came back and said "the manager doesn't really have time to come out and replace this so we will just take a few dollars off". Seemed pretty clear where the customer stands and the managers ability to come out and quickly correct the situation. I felt bad for the old gentleman who didn't even bother to eat his burnt meal. Won't be coming back for a while. read more

Went here from breakfast while visiting Eureka this past weekend. My BF found this place and thought we'd give it a try because of the reviews. I have to say, I'm glad we did. The pancakes were amazing! I mean I like pancakes every now and then, but I loved those pancakes. They were regular ol' pancakes be they were light and fluffy and had a great taste! Give this place a try and try the pancakes! read more

Always great with customer service. Menu looks amazing, the mimosa bar is one of my favorite places to go. The overall experience is worth your bucks. Great ambiance. read more

Went here tonight because everywhere else was closed. Awesome accident, we've had one of the best dining experiences while on vacation in Eureka! Our server was super patient with my family and handled all of our requests really well! Absolutely recommend the Caesar salad with chicken. The interior is decorated really well too. Expansive menu, and everything was really well cooked. We'll be back! read more

Food was good and fast. I want to complain about something but I can't. Overall it was was good

I was fortunate enough to have a Eureka native show us this place for breakfast before heading out of town. The diner doesn't look like anything special but I'm sure that's because there are so many long time customers that could care less about a facelift for the restaurant. I strongly believe that they come for the food if anything! The food was awesome, honestly more than I had anticipated. The waitress was very attentive and got our orders taken and brought to us at a nice pace. I had the Rueben, I try to have one any time I travel because every one makes theirs different. I have to say that this was the first time I'd had the sauce served in a separate dish, I liked that idea but I didn't find it necessary personally. Along with the Rueben I was able to order a side salad and I have to say that it was well beyond my expectations also. Altogether I say that the service was awesome, the food was fantastic, and the value would be hard to beat. I'll be here again if I'm ever back in town! Side note - The leftovers didn't do so well for the car ride home, so in this circumstance I would just recommend eating it all before leaving the diner. That could definitely be a different story depending on what you order though. read more

This is unfortunate but Adele's has NO senior menu. I feel this is discriminatory toward our elders. I took my 82 year old mother and my 85 year old aunt for a small bite. The regular menu is a waste for these seniors with smaller appetites. They asked for the child's burger since the burgers are smaller in size. The young girl denied them saying no one over 12 is allowed to order off the child menu. However they were, for some odd reason, allowed to order child's milkshakes! Made no sense. In this day and age I don't understand why this place is discriminating against our elders, who not only have smaller Appetites but are also on a budget. If there's a child's menu why isn't there a senior menu as well. Not ok. read more

Very good food and service was good. Nice and cozy atmosphere to have a a good meal, employees seem to be happy and enjoy what they are doing. Nice and clean bathrooms. I can't ask for anything else... read more

Adels' is your traditional American diner. We had lunch here yesterday and I want to commend the staff on their great attitude, great service and the great role model they are to other restaurants. The food was excellent and served piping hot! Juicy, tasty burgers! Thank you Adel's for showing it is still possible to shine during these difficult times! read more

Nice waiting staff. Restaurant was full and was still seated in a fast manner and got our food fast as well. We had a party of 6 and everybody enjoyed the food. read more

I went in requesting gluten free. They screwed up my steak three times and it wasn't gluten free. They didn't even bring the correct type of steak after overcooking the first ribeye. I will be dealing with days of internal bleeding and am very sick. This is not a restaurant for anyone who has allergies or dietary restrictions. Not only do they not seem to care they are rude. read more

My most recent visit was a very pleasant experience! My friend and I were seated in a booth right away, and brought fresh coffee while we perused the menu. We both ordered vegetable omelettes but asked for sides of salsa and for chicken breast to be added to the omelettes. We asked for no cheese, and our waitress made sure to clarify whether or not we wanted to opt out of sour cream as well. She was very thoughtful. The servers were very attentive, and the atmosphere was great. I would compare this restaurant to a Denny's. This place is a simple, family friendly stop when you're after something classic. read more
