Toni's 24 HR Restaurant - Toni - American Near Me - Arcata, California

This place is the best food I have had here in Humboldt, AND , the best part about this place, is that it is, as far as I know, the ONLY 24hr business in the whole county and every time I have been the staff is super nice and the food is like I said the best around. Super extensive menu and they also have cakes and baked goods as well which all look very enticing and delicious but I have not partaken. This menu is straight up huge though, like, anything you can think of it's probably up there. Ambiance is - well 1) i'm from a real city, so rating anything in humboldt on it's "ambiance" is a funny ask, but this place makes me feel like it's not illegal to be awake after midnight! So i'll take it. It's not like "cheap-cheap" but the food is good and you get what you pay for. Like, i'm poor, and I still wouldn't and don't complain about the prices cuz you get a lot of food, and it's all GOOD food, hella good, and they doing a real service to this otherwise completely dead after 6,7,8,9,pm ahh county/city/area by being open ALL THE TIME. I love that. Looooove that. Never change. 10 stars if i could. read more

What a great spot! We were up there a few weeks ago. First time visiting the place. The staff was so nice and the food was AMAZING! They have a nice pastry selection as well! Will definitely go there again when we are back up there! read more

Service was nice. Hamburger was boring. I had a chili cheese hamburger. The chili was bland. Couldn't taste any seasoning in the chili. The burger was bland. No salt or garlic or any flavor at all to the meat. No pickle or tomato. On a scale of 1 to 10 for a chili cheese hamburger I'd give it a two. Because it cost $10 with tip, it's a one. No flavor. Skimpy burger. Sad. read more

The 1st hint that this place is UNDERrated is the full parking lot. Then when entering your eyes are immediately treated to a sugar feast of homemade pies and desserts that warrant a review by themselves. The onion rings make you cry out with epicurian delight. The burger was, well, the picture speaks the 1,000 words. read more

This place is almost too nice to be open 24 hours. The food is cheap but still great quality, and the service is very quick, even in a rush. A lot of people come here and that's for a reason, it's probably the best food in town. I'd take a picture of my food but I devoured it too quickly. read more

Hit the spot perfectly, busy but still quick to get my food, good service, solid option for breakfast

Usually 24hr places aren't that great, but this place was excellent! Everything there was good, especially the shakes and pie! One of the only places around that was open, but great food too! read more

It's an order at counter, sit down and they bring out your food diner. We got eggs, potato, bacon, sausage breakfasts and they were good. Added their blueberry pancakes to share and they were really good & large but the syrups both were really watery. It's a bakery too. Got some desserts to go and they were ok. Lots of choices. But do get their butterscotch malts, yummy! read more

BEST spot we've found for a little fried snack :P Absolutely delicious every time. Loe that the place is open 24 hours and the fun vibe. People are always nice and while it's normally pretty busy, we definitely feel taken care of whenever we go read more

I had the peanut butter brownie it is absolutely delicious and enough for 2 people! The people at thx front counter were very nice too ! read more

Placed an order for 4 people. Got the milk shake right away - that was tasty. Had to ask the staff 3 times where our order was. It finally arrived after an hour. The fries were cold, got sent back and 15 minutes later hot fries arrived. The food was ok, but not for the price paid. I will not go back. read more

The hamburgers were delicious. The large serving of garlic fries was smaller than what were accustomed to, however they were tasty. Service was walkup and order, sit down, and they find you. We were expecting a truck stop, but it was an eclectic crowd of families, students, and retirees. The desserts looked very impressive, but we passed on them (this time). read more

It's Toni's, it taste the best at 2 in the morning but it's good in a pinch whenever. Also the strawberry rhubarb pie are the best!

We ordered to-go, and somehow this place still felt like home. Toni's is the kind of spot that sticks with you -- warm, welcoming, and full of heart, even when you're just in and out picking up your food. Our server was so cool and genuine. Everyone we interacted with was kind, relaxed, and looked like they actually enjoy working here -- like cooking with love is their unspoken secret ingredient. You can feel it in the energy and definitely taste it in the food. My sister ordered a quarter-pound beef patty for her dog because her diva pup wasn't feeling the fancy dog food she brought. The staff didn't even flinch -- they made it happen, and honestly, that patty was top grade. As for me? I had the slice of blackberry pie and haven't been the same since. I think a part of my soul is still standing in front of the glass pie case, waiting to try every single flavor. My sister got a slice of a rhubarb pie with either strawberry or raspberry. It looked like it was topped with strudel. Anyways I wanted to come back the next morning for breakfast, but my sister talked me into our hotel's free breakfast (which was okay, but let's be real -- it wasn't Toni's). Arcata is one of those towns that wins you over in quiet, perfect ways. This place is a big part of that. I hope I get to come back someday -- and next time, I'm not leaving without trying at least two slices of pie. read more

This 24 hour diner is a cozy, warm and welcoming diner. The diner has some of the nicest, most friendly waitresses we've ever met. The restaurant has long list of hamburgers, salads, soups, sandwiches and fried baskets. We absolutely loved their chicken sandwich, grilled ham n cheese and foot long chili dog. The diner also has a huge selection of hand made desserts. This was a great local diner with awesome food, friendly service and reasonable prices. read more

Food is typical American type fast food oriented menu. Burgers, dogs, fried food galore. Also breakfast greasy spoon, truck drivers type breakfast plates. Portions are generous depending on what you order. Not a full service restaurant. Order at the counter and they holler your name when ready. Someone brought the food to us. Very busy all the time. Pretty basic food. If you are not a calorie cognizant person you will like this place. One can double down on the fried chicken or fish and chips platters and go home as a happy diabetic coma. Love the 24 hour opening thing. read more

I have been a fan of Toni's for years but just recently discovered their salads are utterly fantastic too! read more

Open 24/7 which is really great for travelers like myself that needed a late night bite. Extensive menu, basic diner food. Good service. My boyfriend enjoyed his lavender milk shake, the chicken nuggets are extra crispy, And My breakfast plate was good for the price. Not a crinkle fry type of gal but it was a good experience overall for the style of restaurant and area. read more

So bland. I could not believe the absolute lack of any seasoning. We had omelets, the chedder omelet and the California omelet. Cheddar had hashbrowns, underdone and the cheese wasn't melted. I dont mean the omelet sat and the cheese got cold. It wasn't melted to begin with. Same with the cali omelet, cheese not melted. On the California omelet I had country potatoes, no seasoning, just bland. No flavor at all. We had English muffins, not toasted enough. The dessert case looked super yummy but after the bland bland food we passed. Staff was nice enough, you order at the counter and give a name. Surprise there were 2 people with the same name so someone else's food cane to our table first...it's going to have to be a hard pass. read more

Visiting the area from out of town. Stopped at Toni's for dinner. We got cheeseburgers and the sweet potato fries. Both were excellent! Decent prices too. There is a large selection of desserts, so we had to get a slice of coconut cream pie to go. It was divine. read more

Hey. I'd you in the area, this all you got. Not the best service or food. Order something safe. The chicken strips are bland and undercooked. Not edible. The chili dog has a long hair in it. The tater tots were good. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Big free parking lot. read more

Love this place. Burgers are great. Hot dog was crisp with a grilled bun. BLT is great. Shakes are delicious. Can't wait to order other dishes. Wish we can order online but will deal with it. read more

Called in a milkshake order to be picked up. Was told would be ready in 10 minutes. Arrived in 15 min to pick up and order not ready, three young staff ignored my presence at pick up counter, once someone acknowledged my presence they were confused by my ordered. One lady scrambled to make the shakes. Horrible service. Didn't leave a tip and ditzy blonde looked surprised. Used to be our go to place for a delicious milkshake. Not anymore. 2 stars for the milkshake, zero for the service. They weren't busy, parking lot basically empty. read more

Stopped in here based on some decent reviews but don't get it - overpriced for mediocre food My son was not impressed with his $5.99 corn dog that was likely just reheated. I ordered veggie soup bowl for $5.99 and didn't even come with saltines let alone a roll from what appeared to be a bakery. The fish basket my husband did order was of decent value at ~$16 read more

If you are ever hungry for deep fried tender and juicy Chicken Fried Steak smothered in bacon fat homemade gravy and plentiful hash brown to clog up the remaining coronary arteries, then avoid the morning crowd and join me at the wee hours of midnight for a large breakfast menu item with toasted wheat bread and strawberry jam to go with it. You are welcome to order anything off the menu up front counter and stoic and tired waitress will take your order and get paid before the friendly cook will come out with your hot dish calling out your name with thick Puerto Vallarta accented English with enthusiasm not seen in Arcata or anywhere else in this Zombie infested state. The ambience is typical American diner with few customers eating huge portions with gusto and quiet atmosphere and infinite refill of old thick black coffee keeps getting refilled until your caffeine meter hits 95 mph. The hot sauce offered on the table is limited to two types of Tabasco. For $16 it's a dang good bargain for richly deserving all American cholesterol breakfast that no other Franchises can ever come close. read more

We ordered food to-go and brought it back to my son's dorm. My son did suggest this spot since he and my husband like milk shakes. Place is right off the 101, has plenty of parking and they get a lot of locals picking up orders they called-in in advance. We ordered a vanilla and a chocolate shake, a baked chicken sandwich, a club sandwich, 2 bowls of vegetable soup, and a blue cheese burger. Oh and a chocolate cake. The shakes were really good. They are known for their deserts, shakes and burgers. I loved my baked chicken sandwich and my vegetable soup. Everyone liked their food actually. My son lives on campus at CSUH so he knows what he likes. We didn't eat inside. They ran out of vegetable soup around 7:30-8pm so we only got one bowl of it. But it was yummy. If I'm in the area again, I'll go back. And they really are open 25hrs. They had a lot of desserts ready to go. My son says all their deserts are fantastic. I loved the chocolate cake. read more

$8 for a quick burger 24 hours a day is honestly impressive, holds up to any diner. Staff is friendly. Front of house could be cleaner but it's an all night diner, it is what it is. Well lit and warm, safe vibes. read more

Overall, a pretty good meal with a couple of hiccups. This place came highly recommended from my brother, so I decided to come in for lunch. It was Sunday at lunchtime, so they were pretty busy. I decided to go for the fish and shrimp basket with tots instead of fries, and a small German chocolate milkshake. The milkshake was amazing! Thick, rich, you could easily taste both the chocolate and the caramel. The only problem was, they brought the shake to my table right away. By the time my food got there 30 minutes later because they were so busy, the shake was gone. Next time I will just ask them to bring the shake with my meal. The fish and tots came first, and then I had to ask where my shrimp was. he apologized, and brought it separately. There was a lot of food! The shrimp and the tots were very good. The fish, was not so successful. Once I asked, he brought it very quickly. The fish itself was delicious. The only problem was, it was over breaded, and the breading was very greasy. I could literally see the oil just coming off the fish. Next time, I will just not order the fish. The portion was huge, and I had plenty of the shrimp and tots to bring home with me for another meal. Overall, a good meal. The price was a little bit on the higher end, but very reasonable for what I got. I will come back and try more things. Thank you. UPDATE: I came back a day or two later. This time, off the 24 hour breakfast menu, I decided to try the chicken fried steak. This time, it was a total home run! The steak was tender, delicious, and not over breaded or greasy at all. The sausage gravy was creamy and rich, the tots were great again, and this time I had the cherry chocolate chip shake. Once again, the shake was amazing. This place is known for their shakes. The person at the cash register told me that normally they bring the shake out right away, unless you ask for it to be brought with your meal, which I did. I will remember that from now on. Again, I had enough of my meal to bring home for a second meal. I will be back again. Thank you. read more

In addition to scrumptious food, friendly and helpful staff, and being open 24 hours/day, 7 days/week, the best thing about Toni's is the consistency. For example, if you had biscuits and gravy that were fresh, tasty, plentiful and attractive on, say, Sunday afternoon, you're going to experience the same if you order it two weeks later, early on a Tuesday morning. That's right, breakfast - the most important meal - can be ordered anytime. The salads are to die for. Whether it's a club salad, a Cobb (my husband's choice), apple walnut chicken (my personal favorite) or the garden salad, you're going to get an abundance of very fresh, beautiful vegetables with what tastes like house-made dressing (?). Burgers are good sized and very delectable. I also appreciate the effort to which the staff look out for us - my grandson has a significant egg allergy. When I mentioned this to the person taking my order, he said that they take food allergies very seriously and went on to explain that they would clean the grill before they made his grilled cheese to make certain there was not even any egg residue. He also read off all of the bread ingredients to me to make sure I felt confident that there were no eggs hiding in any other ingredients. I mean, this was so comforting to us. I don't want you to have to Epi-pen the little guy and so he seldomly eats anything outside of the house, but this was a completely beyond any response from other restaurants. Thank you to Toni's owner, management and to the staff for recognizing the seriousness of food allergies! read more

HSU graduates of 2009/10, we cannot come to the area without stopping in at Toni's. We dream of their burgers and milkshakes. They never disappoint, and their remodel in 2020 made the place so nice inside! We got a cheeseburger, tots, BLAT (added pepperjack), my absolute favorite- German Chocolate Milkshake, and the hubs got a slice of Peanut Butter Cake. WOW! read more

Food was super good a little pricey for a burger spot but definitely worth it. Service great and the bakery is amazing

The food today is what I am writing about. Tony's idea of a French dip sandwich needs to be improved. The meat was so minimal that I ordered an extra portion of meat which cost me nearly $9. So my total bill was $45 that included tax and tip. That was just for me. No one else was with me today. I did order a piece of carrot cake which there's is the best there is around this area. Homemade. The chicken cajun soup was delicious. The salad and fries also up to standard. However; if you're going to bother having a French dip. Use real tri-tip steak. Give the customer a decent amount of meat. And an Auju to dip the French dip in that is stronger and better quality. I would have rather have paid $20 for that meal and had sufficient good quality meat, and strong enough dip. Make it worth my while Tony and I'll be back for the rest of my life for a decent quality friendship sandwich. That was fabulously friendly and accommodating. The atmosphere busy and happy as usual. I'm a lifelong customer been coming to Tony since I was 14 years old when the old drive-in theater used to be next door. Before it was even Tony's. So I've been coming here since about 1972. read more

Stopped in this place for breakfast and so glad I did. I was visiting family in Eureka for grandson's graduation and stumbled upon this place. The biscuits and sausage gravy was excellent and the biscuits quite possibly the best I've ever had. The Side of sausage was delicious and humongous I devoured them happily. They also have a bakery with delicious goodies and pies. Love this place love the amazing staff and will definitely be coming back again and again. read more
