Wow, what a find this place is. A bartender that I met in the area suggested it and I'm glad she did. Make a reservation, it's a busy spot. The ambiance was awesome, very comfortable with an excellent team at work. We lucked out the day we visited and sat at the bar for dinner (which we actually preferred that day so we were excited). Hubby tried a couple of Orono Maine beers which he enjoyed very much. I enjoyed the Raspberry Marguerita's. We started with the stuffed mushrooms. When I tell you they were the best I ever had, believe me. I'm not a seafood girl so I enjoyed the sausage and herb stuffing and they were smothered in the most delicious cheese I ever tasted. It's hard to find a stuffed mushroom that's not stuffed with seafood so I was a happy girl. Most delectable and I'll be ordering those again. We weren't in an entree mood so I ordered a bacon cheeseburger with fries (one of the best burgers I have ever had) cooked perfectly the way I asked with delicious French fries. He enjoyed the poultryguist chicken sandwich which he loved also with fries. His sandwich was huge, he actually took half of it home. They also have yummy homemade chips on the menu and once he saw them, he also ordered a bag of those to go before we left. Desserts were brought around on a tray - there was not one that didn't look absolutely delectable and we saw a few people get the brownie sundaes (pretty generous in size). We were so full so we are going to visit again to try an entree and desserts! Service was outstanding. Most professional I've seen in this area that really gives this place a step up from the norm. We look forward to visiting again and I'll make a reservation as the place was quite busy when we left. Thanks Krista and team, what an awesome place to visit and we can't wait to return again soon. I'm so happy we live close by. I left my phone in my truck this visit, sorry no pics. I prefer to enjoy my meals without the phone in my hand. Bon appetite! read more

Krista's is easily our favorite restaurant in Maine. Set right in the center of beautiful downtown Cornish, it has that perfect mix of cozy, eclectic, and back-country charm that makes every visit feel special. We always start with cocktails as the mixologist here is outstanding. One of us never misses the Maine Blueberry Martini; it's become a tradition. On this trip our party ordered the prime rib, pork tenderloin, and sea scallops. The prime rib was cooked perfectly and couldn't have been more tender. The pork tenderloin came in a splendid sauce, and the sea scallops were fresh and delicious. The servers are consistently friendly and attentive, the menu changes with the seasons, and the place is always inviting. We've eaten here numerous times and it never disappoints! Did I mention the peanut butter pie cake!! Krista's is reliable, welcoming, and consistently excellent. Highly recommended!! read more

My family has been here quite a few times, and the reviews have always been mixed. Some absolutely love it, while others don't really care for it. I finally came in for the first time about a week ago. I ordered the chicken pesto sandwich. It wasn't bad, but it also didn't wow me. It was fine. My boyfriend, on the other hand, loved his burger. The portions are definitely generous, so come hungry. The service was friendly and attentive, and I really enjoyed sitting in the back under the lanterns. Cute and cozy atmosphere. Overall, I'd give this place another try, but it's not somewhere I'm rushing to go back to. read more

Still amazing! We stopped in twice this week. Once on the way up to the pleasant point inn in Lovell maine and again on the way home. The wife had to hit some of the shops as usual. The sacrifice was worth the burger at Krista's! Wait staff were friendly and by 12:45 the place was packed! And of course grandma's chocolate cake! Omg! This place is a gold mine! On the way up we hit the in between menu which was a new thing between 2 and 3:30. You can't get a burger in that window. I was disappointed but we made sure to get there today on time! read more

Recommended by friend in Sebago and had dinner tonite. Cannot provide enough accolades about the food, service and vibe. Very friendly and helpful with menu selection and making us feel incredibly welcome. We had a server named Alexa who has heard every joke and reference making us begin our whole experience with giggles and a great start. Do not miss this great food and enjoyable night out! read more

We visited Krista's for dinner after a day of traveling and checking in at the nearby Perkins House for an overnight stay. We were able to get seats at the bar which was fantastic. Service was stellar the entire night. The staff was so friendly, knowledgeable and hard working; a very popular and busy establishment. We had draft Pacifico beers which were nice and cold. We just had to try the baby pork shanks appetizer with zippy peach BBQ sauce served atop fennel and cabbage slaw with grilled peaches. Absolutely splendid dish! For entrees (which includes a salad and focaccia bread) we ordered the herb encrusted prime rib and the chicken saltimbocca. Both were extremely gererous portions. The chicken was moist and flavorful and the mushroom cream sauce was heavenly! The mashed potatoes and fresh veggies went perfectly with this dish. The prime rib was surprisly tough and chewey, but once we notified the staff, they did everything to try to make it right. We finished off with a limocello digestive. We were well taken care of and enjoyed the ambiance of the space and the vibes at the bar. The restaurant and restrooms were spotless. Small parking lot or on street parking. Reservations are strongly recommended as this place fills up fast! read more

Stopped in on our way to camping to meet new people and enjoyed an amazing lunch and exceptional service! Only downside was that the restaurant is a bit noisy. I enjoyed a pastrami sandwich that was sooo good, Wayne had a Rachel that was just as good. Our new companions had fish tacos, all perfectly prepared. We had a nice light Gruner, perfect for the sandwiches. Brought half the sandwich home for dinner but enjoyed looking at the desserts - next time! read more

Go here for delicious true homemade food! Get the Buddha bowl! Hub had the pastrami and loved it and even the fries were fresh and home cut! We sat outside this cute quaint spot which is located amidst a little downtown antique shopping area and were pleasantly surprised and enjoyed this place more than the fancy place we ate at in Portland! The service was on point providing extra water and napkins before we even inquired. Check out how gorgeous and fresh the food is from my pictures! I'm not sure why I have to travel all the way to Maine and can't get a meal like this in NJ!! Why?!!! Love this place and would come back in a heart beat and try all the things! read more

One of the best restaurants in Maine and yes, I know all about Portland being dubbed America's Foodie City by Bon Appetit. Krista's isn't just the best restaurant in a quaint, small Maine town, but epicurean delight that stacks up to the best of the best. So if you're 'from away', stay away and a let us locals enjoy an excellent meal at our local great place! read more

One of my all time favorite restaurants in Maine! Recently stopped in beacuse traveling through the area. Great portions, great service and great prices. Nice quiet and well spaced out seating so you can hear everyone is your party. Would make a trip back out to Maine just to go here. read more

We had lunch at Kristas seated at the bar. The food was amazing. Great wine and beer selection also. I had the marinated roast beef sandwich on focaccia bread. The coleslaw as my side. There were also homemade pickles on the plate. It was a very large sandwich! So good! Every plate of food that passed by me looked yummy. Hard to choose as it all looked great! read more

A bit pricey, but the food is very good. Staff is very friendly overall definitely would go back.

If ever in the area and looking for a small quaint place to be able to hold a conversation without having to yell AND looking for killer food, this is the spot.. Service is always with a smile and everything I've ever had was exceptional. The pistachio haddock for dinner and their lunchtime reuben was hands down the best I've ever had. read more

Early birthday dinner at one of my favorite places. We had bacon wrapped scallops as an appetizer. Scallops melt in your mouth. We both had the pistacio crusted baked haddock over lemon basmati rice. Also came with broccoli spears, asparagus, carrot and orange pepper. So much food. This came with the house salad which is to die for. Made with spring greens topped with hand it onion crumbs, dried cranberries, sliced almonds and balsamic vinaigrette dressing. They also give you their house bread; which was rosemary spiced. We ordered 2 desserts (cannolli and a hearh car chease cake) to go (as I already had 1/2 my dinner in my to-go container and can enjoy a repeat meal tomorrow on my birthday) read more

My parents live nearby and have wanted to try this place out for over a year. Came to visit so we made a reservation. The place is cute, got a couple appetizers. The chips were good, the mussels were tasty. I split with my dad and I got three closed mussels which means dead aka don't eat. Weird they wouldn't have noticed before serving? Meh whatever, didn't say anything. Entrees came next. Me and my mom got scallops because they're my favorite sea food. When I'm back in Maine I need scallops. Great they had them on the menu as a special.... Damn, I'm not one to return food but one bite and something was off. I look over at my mom from across the table and I can tell she's thinking the same. They weren't just bad, they had a horrid ammonia gas taste. I've never had scallops this bad. On top of it they were paired with a pumpkin puree (gross) with cold quinoa. If the scallops were good I would have eaten them, not touched anything else and not sent back. We both sent back, I wasn't that hungry anymore but my brother gave me half his steak and I ate some of my wife's food. My mom ordered some fish chowder (that she said also was not good) Disappointed. They didn't seem to care much or try to make anything up to us. Do better. read more

This was my first time to Krista's and I hope it will not be my last! The portions are HUGE and I'm pretty sure this is the best chicken sandwich I've ever had. The only change I would make is I got it with peanut sauce and next time I think I would go with a different kind. Service is friendly and quick and the inside is very cute and comfortable. The parking lot is a little small but we didn't have any trouble finding street parking 2 blocks away. read more

Krista's - The poltergeist - New American Near Me - Cornish, Maine

This great little place tucked away in Cornish, Maine is definitely worth the ride if you're not a local but make sure you have a reservation, It took us two weeks to reserve a table for six. The food is creative, fresh and nicely presented. Portion size is more than generous and prices are very reasonable. Everyone at our table ordered a different entree and there wasn't one unhappy camper in our group. The seared scallops are to die for and I highly recommend any scallop dish they happen to have on the menu. They were cooked to perfection. The prime rib was huge and my brother-in-law couldn't get through half of it. Again, cooked perfectly. The Brussel sprout appetizer is a great choice as is the fried calamari. For great food, great service, and cozy ambience - this is the place to go. I guarantee you this place won't disappoint.. Bon appétit read more

Best food around! Great staff! This is my go to when I want takeout. Never been let down no matter what I order.

This is such a cute little restaurant. Very old building and the floors are slanted . It has a lot of charm. Food is amazing and waitress Julie was awesome! They have gluten free rolls for those who have dietary issues. I could barely fit the harvest sandwich in my mouth. The harvest sandwich is turkey cranberries cheese and apple slices It was so big, so delicious. I took half home. It is also served with some homemade pickles and delicious hand cut french fries. My husband got the roast beef sandwich on a gluten-free bun and he said it was absolutely delicious. read more

Every time I go here I want to like it cause the food is decent but the staff only wants to cater to the locals it's so awkward and just weird vibes!!! I was trying to order and some bartender on the other side practically ripped the menu away saying we're on a "nosh" menu, okkk?! How am I suppose to know that??? The other bartender gave me the lunch menu. I asked her to get me the "nosh" menu she literally turned her back & ran off. No words, no comments, no confirmation.... Just a nasty dismissive attitude. She never came back & ignored us. Definitely NO customer service. Our other bartender made excuses for her then proceeded to bring up his wife & kids - NOBODY IS HITTING ON YOU, my friend & I are actually just friendly and wanted a decent lunch. I ordered chicken nibblets with Jamaican jerk sauce - ZERO spice, ZERO kick, why are you calling it that when there are ZERO Scott bonnets in it?!?! Just odd & totally misleading. Needless to say, we were cordial but couldn't leave fast enough. Skip this place unless you wanna get treated like you don't matter but they'll take your money & rush you out. read more

I've loved eating at Krista's. Ordered a Thanksgiving prime rib take out. OMG!!! Doesn't the chef taste the food? They dumped A LOT of black pepper in several of the sides. if a chef can't taste a dish to see if it's over seasoned, there's always measuring spoons. I mean, how much black pepper do you need in mash potatoes?????? It's practically inedible. read more

Such a beautiful location right on Little River. Friendly and quick service, and the food was absolutely delicious.

Ambiance: festive and cozy!! Service: warm and resourceful!! Food (warning, portions truly are GIGANTIC): - Haddock with rice and a citrus cream sauce was really good. I thought it could have been a bit more deftly prepared at medium and more tender - The chicken wings were SO GOOD both flavor and texture wise. I almost never eat a wing without sauce, but these wings were THAT good. Dunno how they achieve this texture, pretty sure the wings were not breaded at all - Burger was solid, as were the fries - Caesar was overly dressed, I'm afraid - Hot toddy was strong and comforting on a chilly eve!! read more

Went in to enjoy a good meal--I've been traveling around Maine before visiting my daughter at her summer camp and was craving something fulfilling and this place hit the spot! Their bowl of chili was delicious and the accoutrements were fresh and balanced. I asked for sour cream and a couple of lime wedges to amplify the flavors but it was yummy and quite fun to say I was enjoying chili in July. It was a very large serving, I had leftovers. They are busy so definitely book beforehand or be prepared to wait a few minutes. I was solo this time so I sat at the bar. Staff was friendly and I would absolutely return! read more

Mimsy and I visited this charming little New England town and a local antique shop owner recommended Krista's for lunch. The atmosphere is very cozy - love the couches in the bar area - we were seated in the dining room right away. The lunch menu features some good pub food and some vegetarian options too. Our server and other front of the house staff was attentive and friendly. Nice beer list. Mimsy got a Reuben, I hit a build-your-own cheeseburger. If you can finish either one of these, you deserve a medal. They are huge! The burger is 10 ounces, and the corned beef in the Reuben was very generous. They brought out the desserts for us to look at but we were very full already. Fries were nice and crispy. Overall a very pleasant lunch. The dinner menu looks very interesting. Definitely going back for dinner. read more

Amazing staff, Fresh outstanding food. Great desserts. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My family and I go up to Point Sebago every year, and our favorite restaurant to go to is always Krista's (especially after a little antique shopping!).

The food was delicious and the service was awesome! It is a small restaurant with a nice vibe that makes you feel "at home". Our group of four adults each picked a different entree and each one was delicious and the presentation beautiful! I had the flank steak special and it was so yummy! It came with grilled mac & cheese and grilled zucchini. Oh soooo good! The portion sizes are generous so we did not order appetizers since we wanted to save room for dessert. You could share a meal if you don't want a to go box. We also had a bottle of the "woop woop" Shiraz, red wine, which was very good! One person ordered a cocktail which had rye whiskey, ginger, and some other flavors and it was a delicious drink! Our server was awesome and very attentive and knowledgeable of the menu items. For dessert, we ordered the Almond Joy chocolate cake which was perfectly delicious! They had a good assortment of desserts and they all sounded yummy! The only thing we had a slight issue with was we were first seated at a table right next to a wall air conditioner which was on (we were there on 8/23/25). We all were cold with the air blowing on us so we asked to be moved to another table and luckily they could move us and they were very accommodating. I recommend you make a reservation before hand. My friends said that sometimes you have to make a reservation a week, or more, in aadvance during a busy/holiday season. Thankfully we made our reservation the day before and got a table for the next day for dinner at 6pm. We hope to return to Krista's again! read more

I went here for a dinner party with about nine of us and we had a great time. We had a reservation and our table was waiting our arrival. Once we all sat and had our menus we placed our drink orders and reviewed the menus while our drinks were prepared. The service was awesome. Our server came back often to see if we had questions. We placed an order for shared apps and had our drinks and plates in front of us before they arrived. Once we finished the apps we put in our dinner orders. The dinners arrived hot and everyone received their meals together. I order the seared sea scallops that came over spaghetti squash and spinach. There was a sauce that was spread over the scallops that was a bit over the top. Looking at other's meals I saw that they too were covered in sauce. I thought the presentation of the meals was compromised by the amount of sauce squeezed over the top. Everything from the steaks to chicken to the scallops appeared to have an over abundance of sauce which covered up the beautiful meals. Apparently this is the way of the kitchen however It was way too much for me so I had to scrape it off and dip on the side. I think side orders of the sauce would be much better. The meals and apps were enormous and so many of us took home the leftovers to enjoy another time. Nice place, cute decorations, good food, good service. read more

I absolutely love Krista's! They take dinner reservations but not lunch, and they can get pretty busy on weekends. They have great cocktails and great food. Huge portions! I always save half my meal so I can get dessert, which is to die for. I seem to have fallen into a rut as now I only order the Poultrygeist. read more

Second time at Krista's was even better that the first time. All 4 of us were very pleased with our dinners. The pinnacle of the evening was the young lady who after announcing that she is the dessert menu, launched into a perfect recital of the long and complex list of desserts complete with mouth watering details of each one. Very impressive and a lot of fun too!! read more

This is one of our favorite spots in Maine for dinner. We go for almost every special occasion and have never left unsatisfied.

I spent the summer in Maine and went to Krista's multiple times even though it was a 30 minute drive!! Serving sizes are large!! I never finished a meal in one sitting! The drinks are light and refreshing. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Service was great every time I went. Food was consistent! I think it's recommended to make a reservation if you have a larger group because they get busy! After lunch, you can check out the cute stores down the street! read more
