FOOD.- We had some chicken strips and A Burger, one of the Vest burgers I ever had, the chicken basket was delicious, lets talk about home made like food.. this is it!!! Trust me it will not disappoint you Service.- service was great, consider waiting a bit, ut really looks like everything is made to order, it might look understaffed bug this makes a Small Joint better, Ambience.- it really can get some help on design and re arrangement to make it look cozy, there is a Single restroom, heads up if this is an issue for u, I still think it deserves 5 stars because food ita just amazing, its local owned and I love to support small local business read more

Only reason why I give it a 3 is because I was a bit disappointed. I was the only one who was told that the drinks were self serve and everyone else around me was getting their drinks served to them! Not sure if ya because I was brown and everyone else around me was white... Nonetheless gotta give credit where credit is due!! My hamburger was top notch though!! read more

We, and all the tables around us, waited over an hour for our food after ordering. While we understand the food is scratch food, it's not worth an hour wait. The apple pecan salad tasted good, but the club sandwich was just okay. The fries were very undercooked. There server never once apologized to any table for the wait for the food. read more

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. read more

They have the best fried chicken in town. Even though they had to close early because employees called out, they fit us in for a to go order. Loyal to locals! read more

Food was excellent! Service was attentive and great. The atmosphere was very chill and inviting. Will definitely be going back!

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. read more

we very much enjoyed the fresh, crispy and moist fried chicken and the mac & cheese was really good too. The salad was nice and fresh. The oceanic mural on the wall was gorgeous to look at and relaxing to be around. conveniently located a block away from Tesla chargers. Also Rivian chargers nearby. read more

Kitchen is way too slow. Waited over an hour for a burger and it wasn't even crowded. Kitchen needs to change their process. Hardly any food came out of it in the time we waited. Also, please wear a sleeved shirt while cooking food. Burger was good but unfortunately overshadowed by the ridiculous wait. I'd like to add more stars when they figure it out. read more

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. read more

Our party of 4 arrived at 7:30 pm, knowing that they were closing at 8:00 pm, but hoping they would be able to serve us. We would not have tried arriving closer to closing than this. As we were waiting to be seated (and it appeared that they had room), we saw a girl hurriedly rush over and unplug the "Open" sign. She then walked over to us and explained that "anything on [their] menu requires 30 minutes to prepare, and [they] were closing soon" so they couldn't possibly serve us, but we could "come back tomorrow." Call me crazy, but I think if a restaurant wants to stop receiving customers at 7:30 pm, they should publish their closing time as 7:30 pm, not 8:00 pm. And if you turn customers away once under these circumstances, don't count on them returning. Elise's food may be great (as other reviews attest), but their understanding of customer service is strangely lacking. read more

Food was ok, but the wait was horrible. The waitress was very nice and everyone seemed friendly. But, i think they cook one burger or one order at a time, so it takes the kitchen forever to get each order out. read more

Elise's was hopping on a the evening we visited! We had a bit of a wait, but it was absolutely worth it. The staff was friendly, the atmosphere was welcoming, and the food was delicious from start to finish. The highlight, though, had to be the chocolate chip cookies! We were in town for a few days and loved them so much that we came back just to get more to bring home. Some of the best cookies we've ever had! read more

I would not order a salad. Both the crispy chicken and the feta salads were not worth it. Tomatoes were not fresh, spinach tasted dirty. We took ours to go because they were very busy. Staff were all super nice. I'd go back, but not for a salad. read more

We were struggling to find a spot to eat, stumbled across this just hoping something was open. We were pleasantly surprised and enjoyed our meal. I was annoyed personally as i had to ask multiple times for something, but overall it was a good place for a meal. read more

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. read more

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. read more

The food is great but plan on waiting forever! Mu, our server, was exceptional and apologetic. The chocolate chip cookies were delicious.

The reviews are correct! Great service and delicious food! Burger was far more flavorful than the burger's at Seaquake. My daughter got Club Sandwich was loaded with nice quality meats. James was our server and the service was above and beyond. Great experience! read more

We waited over 1 hour and twenty minutes from the time we ordered food to when we finally received it. I am honestly in shock as to how 1 burger and 1 chicken sandwich can take that long. When we did finally get our food, it was overcooked and the bacon was chewy and gross. Also, the cook with a very large beard was not wearing a net. Something is going on in that kitchen that needs to be addressed. The one redeeming factor was the hostess who was apologetic and accommodating. read more

Not too many (decent) eateries we could find for dinner in Crescent City, but glad we went with Elise's. We arrived around 7:30pm and they let us know it was takeout only with a 45min wait. Everything else closed at 8pm so we were stuck. We picked up our food around 8:15pm and since they were closing, they threw in a mac & cheese for free. So nice! Food: The chicken tender basket was exactly that. Good ol' chicken tendies (good portions). The curly fries were kinda soggy, but the to-go box may have steamed them during transport. Overall, not memorable, but satisfying. The fried chicken was delicious and crunchy. If i ever found myself here again, I would get that as my entree. It's good the mac & cheese was free because it was okay. Kinda dry and bland so we added some pepper and buffalo to make things interesting. All in all, service was solid, food was expected, and at least we had a full dinner for the night! read more

What a great, friendly find! The three of us had a variety of food choices and each was excellent. Our server greeted us warmly and paid just the right amount of attention to us. We were only in town overnight, but will eat here again next time. read more

Delicious food, good service, very happy with the whole experience. We definitely recommend it to others to give it a try.

Arrived 20 minutes before closing on a summer day. After husband and I entered, the waitress went and unplugged the open sign. We were told, after being ignored when walking in, they close at 8. The waitress had just taken an order for a three person family seated at a table. We knew what we wanted to order. Asked us if it was a to go order. We said no, then asked if it could be a to go order, and we said we will go somewhere else. It wasn't busy. Our order would have been the same timeline as the order we watched her write down before slowly walking over to us. read more

best place EVER service, vibe, food, and cleanliness is unmatched. The man who took our order was the sweetest server i think i have ever met and even with the place fully packed he always checked up on us. the food is amazing for the price, the burgers were HUGE and came with a lot of fries and tasted amazing. tthe whole place was spotless and clean and u can definitely tell they took time cleaning. overall great place and u can tell everyone here is enjoying themselves and the food! make sure to come and tip big read more

I initially was excited about trying this new place here in Creacent city, but honestly for the price of the food the portions ARE disappointing. All the entrées are single so if you a burger & they ask you what you would like for a side its 3.50 for small handful of French fry's. so I ordered the club & was taken back by the fact it had store bought lunch meat it Only came with two slices of meat for my club sandwich .def didn't look like the menu picture I paid 17.50 for the sandwich & 3.50 for my side. read more

From the moment we walked in service was both attentive and friendly. They hand out stickers to kids which were well received and kept my kid entertained. Food was great! Western Burger and Redwood Burger, best burgers I've had in a while. Had a side of the Mac N Cheese, perfect texture and a great home style taste. Laidback vibe with 80s background music. Great place to spend our last night in Crescent City. read more

Best burger I've ever had! James, our server, was fantastic also. A real asset to the owners.

The food and service are 5 stars. We were hungry and a bit desperate for a late lunch since our first place was closed. The group was a bit skeptical the 4.9 rating could be true, but it lives up to the star rating. The food came out quickly and was so tasty. I'm eating some of it for a leftover dinner. We'll go here again and send others too. read more

Road trip 2025 Day 4 We made it to California! We ended the day at this awesome little eatery, in Crescent city, the burgers were Great and were a generous portions size, everything came out fast and fresh/piping hot, we met the owner operators who were just 24 and 25 years old and we're wowed but their professionalism and desire to provide excellent food products and service. This was definitely top notch and a we will definitely return if we are in the area again. I forgot to take a picture of the food but we had the Western burgers with curly and regular fries. And got to try the homemade Mac and cheese which was amazing. 1175 2nd st Crescent City California https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100094702883538&mibextid=ZbWKwL read more
