Good food and service, but the times I've been there, they were not really different from Denny's. First time I went, I asked for a mtn dew, and the server told me they only serve Pepsi products.

This reminds me of a Toms burger. Great customer service and good food. They have a great space for family and friends. I've been here for breakfast and lunch so far.

Service is always pleasant but breakfast leaves a lot to be desired. I've had good meals here at dinner but both times I've come for breakfast, the food is absolutely forgettable. Last weekend I tried their eggs Benedict. It's the worst eggs benny I've ever had. I make better breakfast at home. I still appreciate their service, and the vibes.

Hungry and felt like I was in the middle of nowhere (Ridgecrest is pretty small town) ... Yelped the best place to grab a bite to eat and found Kristy's Family diner. Our party of seven was seated fairly quickly and greeted pretty promptly with servers bringing water. Variety of food options, but I was craving a burger. So I ordered an Avocado Burger which came with French fries. Portion size was good for the price and taste pretty decent. I don't recall my waitress's name, but she was friendly and attentive. Restaurant was packed at the time we arrived. Moderately sized free parking lot. Bathrooms are small, could use some work, but at least the toilet flushes and there was toilet paper. If/whenever driving through Ridgecrest and want to stop for a quick bite, Kristy's Family diner is my bookmark.

A dependable option in Ridgecrest. A good choice especially for breakfast. Many folks enjoy it on Sunday mornings.

For whatever reason, we'd never been here before. We'd had a long day, and Kristy's is walking distance from our favorite motel. So we walked down to get some dinner and were a little surprised that it wasn't as busy as we expected at around 7pm. We loved the old photos on the wall. Hubby walked around and had fun looking at them. The next day, when we were headed out, he pointed out where the Bamboo Hut(?) used to be! When we entered, we weren't sure at first if we were supposed to seat ourselves or wait, and a nice gentleman showed up quickly and told us to sit anywhere. Our server popped by to let us know the specials and took our order. The food arrived promptly and was well executed. We both chose the soup. It was very tasty. They said it was "minestrone" but not like any I've ever had. I didn't quibble since I enjoyed it. It was slightly on the salty side but again, it was tasty and enjoyable. I had the Santa Fe chicken. The grilled chicken breast was moist on the inside, had just the right amount of cheese and salsa on top, and was really pleasant. There were two breasts but I could only finish one since it was later, we were tired, and didn't want to eat too much before bed time. There was also this delicious white corn that was sweet and had a nice herbed butter on it. And I chose the baked potato with sour cream. I was happy. Hubby chose the fried prawns and fries. He also had the corn. He enjoyed his dinner but wished they'd warmed up the cocktail sauce before bringing it out as it was icy cold in the center. So I do recommend them as the food was delicious and the service was attentive. I'd like to try them for breakfast and lunch as well.

Service was fantastic, food is good and very tasty The place is great for casual dinning or lunch with friends

Amazing food! If we could cook like them at home, we'd all weigh 500 pounds! All breakfast items were the best we've had in a long time. From our table, the favorites were the hash browns (perfectly cooked and not greasy) and pancakes (light, fluffy, and savory)! The burritos didn't last very long either. Service was great also. No wait, and constant refills on drinks. We just wish we lived close to this place to come again.

Spur of the moment brekkie stop on our way to June Lake for Memorial weekend . We were hungry, and Yelp brought us here. It was pretty packed for a Friday morning. There were 6 of us, and we were lucky enough to get the last table. Cinnamon was our server, and she was friendly and had great recommendations. Some of the dishes we recommend: Country Benedict Chili Verde Omelette Pancakes New York Steak and Eggs We were so hungry that I forgot to take pics. But, trust me...this is definitely the place to go if you want a solid, hearty, delicious breakfast!
