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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 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

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

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

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

So the Food is good the people are nice and it is very cheap.this place is a good breakfast place I do recommend.

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

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

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

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

Chicken strips were very tasty. Enough food for two people. Soup was a bowl not a cup. Staff was friendly. Prices may seem high but they have HUGE servings. Nice clean place. Clean bathroom too read more

Disgusting food, greasy af! Everything tastes like it came out of the freezer and had weird textures and no flavor. SO EXPENSIVE! The worst diner I have ever been too. Filthy bathrooms, sticky tables and smells like mold. I recommend Peppers in Arcata 10000000% better than this gross place. Even ihop down the street is better. Heck go to Wendy's across the street, anything is better than spending over $60 for two people for this disgusting food. read more

My Daughter and I went in for the first time ever , having lived here now for 4 years we thought it was pretty well time.We were amazed from the rather extensive menu to the extremely friendly and helpful waitress and then the food was what we were hoping for . Both of our meals were served hot and fresh .A delightful experience and we will definitely be back read more

I was initially hesitant to try this place because of its 3.9-star rating here, especially since other sites had much better reviews. I went in with some doubt, but wow, was I pleasantly surprised! The food was absolutely delicious. They offer a wide variety, from pancakes and eggs any style to steaks, grilled meats, pasta dishes with unique flavors, perfectly seasoned fajitas, seafood options, and even vegetarian meals. There's something for everyone, including a kids' menu. Every bite was bursting with flavor, and they were happy to customize your meal however you like it. The portion sizes are generous so much so that when I commented on it, our server smiled and said, "We don't want anyone going home hungry." That warm, caring attitude made the experience even better. Paige, our server, was wonderful, attentive, friendly, and always smiling. Every dish we tried was finger-licking good. This place is a true gem in Eureka, and I'm honestly surprised it doesn't have a higher rating here. Don't let the numbers fool you: it's well worth a visit! read more

Got into Eureka late and had take out from Kristina's. When we walked into no body was there it was around 6. The waitress said it was because of graduation. So we ordered turkey sandwiches & clam chowder. Sandwich was okay but the clam chowder was watery with no taste. I didn't finish my order of clam chowder but my sister had finished the large container of clam chowder. Oh Boy!! it wasn't very pleasant in the hotel room!! she was sick the whole night & lasted until the next day! No bueno! Got the maid to come and clean up the bathroom! read more

Service was good, food was great except for the hash browns. The taste and texture made me think they were just those frozen ones you get at the grocery store, so didn't enjoy those very much. Besides that, we both enjoyed it. The portion sizes are big so it feels very worth the price. The mimosas are also huge which was appreciated haha. read more

Great breakfast spot! Hubby and I like old fashion diners and Kristina's didn't disappoint. The staff was awesome! Hubby ordered the chicken fried steak with hashbrowns, scrambled eggs, and a biscuit. I had the Mexican skillet. The portions were big and so was the flavor! The ground beef in my skillet was delish and I liked the addition of the pickled jalapenos and olives. I did steal a little bite from hubby's plate. The gravy was rich and thick and his hashbrowns were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. I liked that the biscuit was toasted, you don't see that often. Everything was great, I'm glad we stopped in! read more

Cool breakfast/brunch spot. The place has diner vibes which is never a bad thing for me. The food was served fresh. The staff are very professional and polite. 5 stars for sure. read more

The servings were huge! You definitely get what you paid for plus more! We had enough for leftovers and we actually finished our leftovers rather than letting them sit in the fridge to go to waste. The service was ON Point! We were greeted as soon as we walked in the door. We were sitting immediately and asked if we'd like a beverage? I highly recommend Kristina's to our locals as well as if you're just traveling through town. If you're looking for a lot of home cooking variety they have it all!! read more
