Clean, Great Tasting and Cheap

Kristina’s has all of the usual diner perks like forever flowing diner coffee in those iconic brown diner mugs. There’s that awesome mix of Clevelanders in and out of here. A great diverse mix of black, white and hispanics from what looks to be all spectrums of backgrounds (these are just broad statements to further the point of how diverse the crowd is). This is a great Cleveland diner, period.

The place is tucked away on Lorain Ave. with ample street parking. When you walk in Kristina’s you’re greeted with a friendly hello and instructed to sit anywhere you want. The diner is a mix of traditional 4 man booths and large tables that can fit at least 6-8 hungry Clevelanders. The biggest thing I noticed in comparison to a lot of affordable ”greasy spoon” diners is how clean and put together Kristina’s is. There’s signs and knick knacks with different pictures of superheroes and actors along the walls. The furniture has charm but is not run down. Too many times I walk into diners that have broken booths with holes and springs popping through them. But Kristina’s is a great example of how it should be done.

Now to the food! The food on the menu doesn’t stray from your usual diner specials like omelettes and home fries, pancakes and French toast and any combination in between. I can say there biscuits and sausage gravy are a step up than most diners that usually use a crappy powder mixture. Overall it’s fresh diner food that is not caked with butter and oil. One thing to note is they don't mind you asking to hold the mushrooms or other ingredients you may not want in your dish.

Top of the list for a great...

My first and last time ordering food from this place. Not sure why but I ordered two “super 8” breakfasts. On Google it says it should be $6.99 for one super 8 breakfast. So I check the menu pictures on Google, since Kristina’s does not have an actual website. The picture menu on Google say $8.99 for a Super 8 breakfast. On the window walking into restaurant they have a sign that says $9.99 for a Super 8 Breakfast. So I walk into restaurant to pick up my food, and I’m being charged $24 for two Super 8 meals?! Meaning one Super 8 breakfast is $12.

I paid the price with no problem but I definitely will not be coming back. Prices are not right so u pay basically whatever they say. I would take my business elsewhere. Most places diners in Cleveland for a two pancake breakfast you’ll end up paying about $12.99 for two. I paid doubled...
