The best diner I've been in a long time. feels like a going back in time with the food choices, the music, and the decor. Stop by. Only thing wrong with this place is it isn't 24/7. But we love it here.

We had decided to have a reunion with some cousins. It was a nice venue to have it. Cool "retro" vibe in Kristi's. 50's music, lots of pictures of 50's cars, Coke signs, it was cute. The back room is quite large and had plenty of seats for our group of 12. The service was awesome, very nice wait staff. The food was good, and HUGE portions. I took half home in a container. The prices were ok for such large portions and great service. We all enjoyed our lunch, and truly enjoyed our time together. We were there for a couple of hours and were never bothered or hurried out. My only complaint would be parking. It is street parking, no lot.
