BEST BREAKFAST IN HUMBOLDT COUNTY! Razzleberry pancake is my favorite, along with their cinnamon rolls! You will not be disappointed! And they have Mr. Pibb soda!!! read more

L's Kitchen - a plate of food on a table - American Near Me - Fortuna, California

Does not disappoint. Portions are generous but not ridiculously large. Everything is flavorful and validates the claim that it's from scratch. Husband had the hamburger steak and eggs...wow! a real, hand formed patty that was thick and juicy. Eggs were actually medium as requested (he hates "snotty eggs"). I had the half portion of biscuits and gravy, very good and more than enough. Coffee was some of the best I've had in a diner. I like a nice medium roast and this was flavorful and rich and did not need cream(in my humble opinion). Waitstaff was attentive and friendly. We will go back, (actually we did for lunch same trip) next time we're visiting local family. read more

I had been looking for a breakfast place that opens before 7 (let alone before 8!) because there aren't many options in northern Humboldt. It was great! I'll be going back for sure. I got a simple meal - eggs, basic, and toast - it was delicious and exactly hit the spot. I'll be coming back for sure. Staff was real nice, too (and very hometown/small town vibe). While technically they open at 6, only the cook is there until 6:30. But she'll do all the tasks/positions until more staff arrives at 6:30. Nothing better than a delicious breakfast in a local place read more

Everything here is awesome. Food , service , ambiance. Pasture Raised Hamburger Steak

Good food. Good friendly service. Clean bathroom. Reasonable prices. Easy to get to. Recommended.

This sweet little eatery is what I would lovingly refer to as a "hole in the wall". There are less than a dozen tables indoors, with a couple of bistro tables outdoors. I was happy to get a table at around 8:30am on a Tuesday morning. There is limited parking beside the restaurant, which is located on Main Street, but there is a shared lot beside it that is shared by a few local businesses, and there is some street parking as well. Waitstaff was very friendly, and brought me a tall cup of coffee while I waited for my other guests to join me. For being such a small place, there is a serious amount of variety offered in their menu items. I was pleasantly surprised! I ordered a "Veggie Mess" which consisted of some seasonal vegetables scrambled up with eggs and potatoes. I asked if they could omit the dairy for me (no cheese or sour cream). The dish was still packed full of flavor. For my side I chose a homemade biscuit, and it was to die for. The portion for this breakfast was huge! I took half of it home with me and ended up eating it for lunch a few hours later, so this breakfast covered two meals for me. I was very pleased with my experience at this cute little diner, and I can't wait to come back! read more

Very delicious! The best part is the homemade touch. Abby(our server) is very friendly and made us feel very welcomed. The food portions were more than sufficient and just one look at the menu, you want everything on it. I highly recommend the biscuits and gravy, the biscuits were soft and melted in your mouth, the gravy was thick and very tasty. If you are looking for that home cooked type of vibe, I highly recommend coming here. read more

This place is amazing! Very small town feel with delicious food. It's worth noting they have lots inexpensive options as well as more robust breakfast as well. You can get a breakfast sandwich for six bucks. read more

Best bacon in town. I will judge you for your bacon, Lol. nice atmosphere with a smaller dining area. Great place for people who get overwhelmed by chaos. read more

Just how Brian used to make it. A few people know I grew up in Ferndale. And a few people know my mother owned the main street cafe that flourished due to its hot coffee, breakfast menu, and of course, its biscuits and gravy. The cook, Brian made the most amazing biscuits and gravy, and L's reminded me of just how much I used to love it. My hash browns were tasty, my chicken breast cooked well - wonderfully given as a side - and the biscuits and gravy were delicious. Both the honey and I wish L's were in our neck of the woods, though our waistbands probably feel very differently! I'd definitely come back any time! read more

Let's start with L is in the kitchen and does the cooking , she comes out and bus tables to assist her team. A very down home feeling when you walk in , the first server says good morning and gets your drinks almost immediately. The food is great! If you are ever driving thru Fortuna stop off at L's and say hello and try her home cooking- she won't disappoint. read more

Absolutely amazing service from both the host/waitress & chef. Fantastic personalities, very patient, & extremely informative & helpful! Must say compliments to the chef! I requested a Cajun burger & asked of they could make it any spicier, being very skeptical they would, & instantly they told me yes & I have them the free leisure to do as they want with it & I must say 10/10. I will be back! read more

L's Kitchen - Cajun burger - American Near Me - Fortuna, California

I really wanted to try the cinnamon roll but they were out. I got a berry turnover instead and it was so good. I got the blueberry pancake with strawberries and whipped cream and marionberry syrup which my husband scarfed down before I could get a bite . I also got a breakfast burrito and even though they forgot the salsa and sour cream on the side it was still delicious. Can't wait to try more things on the menu including the cinnamon roll! read more

The two egg brekkie w sausage (recommended by my server) was awesome! Bountiful and delicious and clean! The tea selections are robust here, as well. If your driving along the 101 and are craving a classic DELICIOUS breakfast, don't pass this place up! They close at 2:30 each day, seven days a week. Btw, likely you will need a to go box. You will be happy to know that they do not use styrofoam. Instead it's a responsibly manufactured pulp box. read more

We probably visit here twice a month! Almost everything is homemade! Biscuits and gravy are amazing, pancakes and waffles too! Absolutely legit! Friendly service and the cook your eggs and potatoes exactly the way you ordered!!! read more

What the hell! Honestly a secret gem in the humbold county! Food was cooked con Amore (with love), me and my wife had such an incredible breakfast, food was Delicious. Abbey our server was nice and funny. P.s Their espresso coffe was really good! Grazie read more

Always delicious and always just what I wanted.! Even during these terrible times that restaurants are facing. Lauren has done the very best with excellent quality and wonderful service. Abbey is the best ever waitress . read more

Food was great, huge portions and the staff was amazing. Ordered what I think was the 'Country Mess' and had enough for the next day. read more

This place is absolutely phenomenal! The best BLT I've ever had in my life by far and the service was just as awesome! I'd rate them 10 stars if I could read more

Looking for breakfast in Fortuna. We happened on L's. Friendly staff. Great food, and reasonable prices. What's not to like. I hope to be back soon. read more

If I get there early enough I'll devour a cinnamon roll if they haven't sold out them. They have delicious omelets and pancakes. My favorite go to is the two egg breakfast with chicken apple sausage and toast with blackberry jam. read more

Best breakfast spot! An eerie thing is that have something which plays the first few notes of 'Luniz - I got 5 on it' all the time. Bay area represent! read more

Just average at best. Seems to be a bit overpriced. The owner seems less than friendly if you are not one of the regulars. The chicken fried steak was expensive and tough. disappointing... read more

This is THE best place I've been to in NorCal. This place has the hands down best home cooked food and everything is done so well. NOT TO MENTION THE GENEROUS PORTIONS! Im sad that I'll have to drive 7 hours just to eat here but trust me it's worth it! This little gem is somewhere that I could eat everyday for the rest of my life and not get tired of it! The food comes out completely fresh and the service is so friendly you feel welcomed and never rushed. Everyone around us is so happy and it makes the experience all the more wonderful. I'm blow away by how well done everything is. Huge chains have nothing on this perfect little restaurant. The sausage was the best I've ever had, the biscuits and gravy were the greatest in the world (and I'm a biscuits and gravy connoisseur). If you are within 30 miles of this place you had better come check it out! I'm mad that we didn't find this place earlier! Nothing tops wonderful hospitality and fresh in house made food! I cannot wait to return! It's safe to say that my tummy is leaving stuffed and happy! read more

My girlfriend and I tend to eat out a lot, so we can give you an honest comparison on everything from the taste to the price. That said, L's Kitchen can't be beat when it comes to getting value for your money. It's a small restaurant, making an already enjoyable experience even more so. (Let's face it: the more tables a waitress has to tend to, the less enjoyable your dining experience, which isn't a problem here, given how small the restaurant is.) And the food is every bit as good as the service. I ordered the Country Mess, which was a very large breakfast for less than $15. The best part? The sausage gravy wasn't some bland, white concoction of flour and water. Instead, it was a wonderfully seasoned topping of gravy prepared by someone who clearly understands their way around a kitchen. And it's not just the food and prices that were good, as our waitress was equally up to the task of ensuring that all of her customers felt valued. I genuinely enjoy going to this place and recommend it highly, giving it the coveted 5 Star Review, which is something I personally withhold for only the best of the best. Definitely deserved here! read more

The fried chicken sandwich is one of the best I've had in South Bend.. it's delicious

Clean, great service and food was good! Kid friendly, sandwich was delicious. I ordered the pesto turkey grill sandwich. read more

For supposedly homemade I was sorely disappointed. Microwave ovens should not be relied on to cook an entire meal. Some of the most bland tasting food I've ever had. I'm not one to not finish a meal but I ran away from this one. I have no idea how this place has as many stars as it does. I seriously thought I walked into a Kitchen Nightmares is Restaurant Impossible! read more

L's Kitchen - Biscuits and gravy and canned soup :( - American Near Me - Fortuna, California

The service was good but the food was sub par. $14 for a Chicken Fried Steak breakfast that wasn't worth it. Biscuit was under cooked and doughy, steak was overdone,eggs were cooked in some type of oil that had a bad aftertaste and hash browns were the processed frozen type. Not what I'd expect at that price. Also I'm not a fan of carpeted restaurants, especially when you can smell them. Also a word to out of towners, prepare yourself for the strange stares you'll be getting from the "locals". read more

Such a huge disappointment today! We have eaten here in the past at least 2-3 times and had a great breakfast. Today was not the case. Our order was promptly taken but it took 40 minutes to get our food to the table. The food was greasy and didn't have a good taste. I ordered a spinach omelet without cheese. It appeared that cheese was added and then removed after it was realized that it should had be omitted, as there were pieces of cheese still on and in the omelet. My husband who loves biscuits and gravy took a couple of bites and then didn't want to eat more because it didn't taste good and it was really greasy. He didn't eat all his eggs either. After waiting for 40 minutes (only 3 small tables before us) I told my husband, the wait would be worth it....boy was I wrong. Terrible disappointment, perhaps they had a different cook today??? It will be a long time before we come back. read more

Lauren is theeee best baker! Her biscuits and cinnamon rolls are made from scratch...and they R 2 DIE 4! GREAT STAFF...OWNER...COOK! A MUST PIT STOP!!!! read more

L's Kitchen - American Near Me - Fortuna, California

We loved this place. The waitress Ashley was really very nice and we me the owner too. It was clear that the cared about people and good food. There was a elderly couple there who finished up and the owner helped them out to their car, opened the door...that's cool. I had a Cajun Burger which came with a fresh cooked patty and real Habanero cheese...outstanding...wow. I had clam chowder that was great too. Michiru had a ham and cheese sandwich and could not get over the freshness. Even their ice tea was great. L's kitchen cared enough about the community to garnish their walls with a local artist works. That was of them. From the outside L's looks small, from the inside it looks perfect;y hospitable and warm. This really is the place to go in downtown Fortuna, and it located just shy of the beginning of old town Fortuna. Thanks Ashley for making us feel welcome and feeding us well/ Sanpedro99999@aol.com jonwiedenman@Statefarm.com read more

Outstanding local spot! One of those places where the locals are greeted by name. We had an excellent breakfast and impressively responsive service. I would recommend not only seeking out L's Kitchen if you happen to be in the area...but maybe even making it a destination. Best breakfast in Fortuna, California! read more

The people and the food are great. It's casual, clean, and friendly. My favorite is the biscuits and gravy, followed by the steak. I really didn't expect to get such a great steak from a little home town place. Please take time to look at the filtered reviews, they reflect real customers like me. Whenever I visit my family in Fortuna, we always at least have breakfast at L's and usually end up taking home dessert for later. read more

Great Breakfast and service in our way to The Ave of Giants. Get the biscuits and gravy for sure.

I'm going with 4 solid stars. I must confess, we didn't eat here though. We heard about their legendary chicken strips. Local chicks hand battered in top quality ingredients, sounds like some real good stuff! The kids were super excited too. Once we arrived, we ordered some waters, and 2 Eel River Brewing Co. IPA's and looked over the menu. We decided on the famed chicken strips only to be told they didn't make enough to last all day and were out. After careful consideration, and the fact the children would not accept anything less than delicious chicken, we decided to leave and come back another day. The server was apologetic, and hey, we both worked in restaurants so we understand! She didn't charge us for the beer which was nice. The place clearly cares about high quality ingredients so we will be stopping in again before we leave the area! read more

Nom nom nom! So yummmmmy!!!! Had the turkey pesto with split pea soup... so delicious.. they had to go orders so there was a small wait but definitely worth it and the service was great! read more

Good food for good price. Enough said. They are also quite friendly :) Also awesome is you can have breakfast allllll day. I like me some breakfast but sometimes I cannot get up early enough. I'm so happy that we found this place for some awesome grub before going back to the woods for some more hiking! read more
