Reviews of Little Richard's Family Diner (Restaurant)

This Man

Food is always fantastic, service is always great. Never had a bad time, even when I was sick, they served the best soup. It's such a nice place to relax during a long trip. I would recommend it even for dates and family dine-ins.

Little Richard's is a quaint little diner with great food and service. Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day and Little Richard's made the best meal during my entire trip to Alaska! I strongly recommend this diner for great food and service in a clean little diner. I had a ham and cheese omelet with rye toast and hash browns and I ate every last bite. This says a lot about the quality because I am extremely picky with my food.

Gary Irwin

Joshua Fitzgerald

Robert Neal

Good food with fast friendly service. I had the Rueben with onion rings and both were awesome!

The best burgers in North Pole and Fairbanks hands down! Never dry and always consistent. AND they have a super friendly staff that always wants to go above and beyond for you! It has that small town vibe to it, like everyone is family.

Fantastic food and extremely friendly owners. I have never had a bad experience here in 7 years. Even at the busiest of times food was of high quality and the staff never seem to be in a bad mood. This is a must stop if driving through North Pole especially for breakfast.

Good food and good atmosphere. Looks like an authentic 1950s diner, right off the Richardson Highway. Reasonably priced, with a decent sized menu. Definitely worth eating here when you visit Fairbanks and/or North Pole!

Awesome service, great breakfast and lunch. Prices are good. The pancakes alone are a meal. Philly cheese steak and buffalo burger are some of the best in the area.

Nice 50's style restaurant. The staff is friendly and the food is good. Make sure you are hungry when you eat there because the portions are huge. I will eat there again.

Kennedy Plavan

The environment is perfect and clean!!!

I came here for lunch with my wife and had the Ribeye with fries, and seriously it was the best steak I’ve had in any state I’ve been stationed in. Hat’s off to the chef, keep doing your thing man. “Prayer: The ultimate wireless connection”

This is definitely a fun place to visit!

Chandra Guiberson

native ridge

Don't eat all day, then go for dinner. Delicious food, choices galore and felt like Homer Simpson in a doughnut factory.. My eyes were way bigger than my stomach but loved every bite and sip of that milkshake (

Kris Johnson

Very good food and large portions. Pricing fair for quantity served. Fun atmosphere. Excellent service. Best omelet I've ever had! Would definitely return.

Cain Kaiser

I had the Pork Chop Breakfast and it was really good! I just took a trip to Alaska here because we wanted to do some sightseeing and one of our stops was to see the Santa Claus House in North Pole, Alaska. The prices for these meals at Little Richard’s Family Diner were a little pricey, but that’s probably because Alaska is expensive. Otherwise, I talked to the waitress we had and turns out, Little Richard’s is actually a locally-owned family business. But, anyway, great, fast service and good food. If we do ever come back to Alaska because we live so far away from Alaska, I would eat here again!

A Scott

Great service and family friendly

MARCIA LAWRENCE

Great food and Service.

Edgar E. B.

We were surprised how high their ratings we with the amount of reviewers. Once we got there and our food arrived I can see why they have such high ratings. Excellent amount of food for the price and very well cooked. Waitress was very upbeat and bubbly. Just an over great place with reasonable wait times.

one of the best places to eat in the city of North Pole, the breakfasts, lunches and dinners are top tier. the quality is phenomenal even on a busy day.

nicole somerfield

Amazing people. Amazing food

Alexa Thomsen

Basic diner food. Price was higher than expected, especially for drinks, but we did upgrade to curly fries. They gave us butter because we didnt have any at our cabin, so that was an extra nice thing they could have said no to. Went at a busy time so it took a while to get checked on, but still 4 stars. Server was very nice, no need to blame the long wait on her.

Paula Kennedy

Always good food and the wait staff are friendly and nice.

LaDeane Copeland

Great service, but the oil the fish and onion rings needed to be changed.

Little Richard's was a spiritual experience. Before I could even enter the premisis my mind was numb with nostalgia; nostalgia for the days my father and I would sneak out to our local diner at three in the morning. It was almost enough to stoke the dying coals in my soul, but I eagerly pressed on. Upon stepping into the establishment, my senses were assaulted in the best way possible. Steaming plates piled high with oversized pancakes and perfectly cooked hash browns whizzed past me, carried by the incredible staff members like the ancient Egyptian god Khepri ushering in the morning sun. I was astonished at the low wait time, seeing as I visited this slice of heaven at noon on a Sunday. After only a few minutes my party and I were seated on comfortable and classic diner chairs. Menus strewn in clip art were set infront of us. The vast assortment of items available was overwhelming at first, but from the corner of my eye I spotted "French Dip with Au Jus. Served with fries" I went with my instinct and asked for the fries curly instead of straight. Minutes passed, though it felt like days. My anticipation was building to a peak as the aforementioned assault of delicious smells and cozy decor hadn't let up. Needless to say I was relieved when our speedy well-spoken waitress returned, hot meals in hand. I blacked out after my first bite into the toasted subway sandwich bread and juicy roast beef. The crunch of my face contacting the overflowing basket of perfectly seasoned curly fries was enough to snap me back to consciousness. Washing it all down with ice cold cola, I finished my meal in moments, maybe the best of my life. My joy was only amplified when my bill came, just over 11 dollars. Jokes aside, Little Richard's Family Diner is a must stop for anyone who finds themselves in the Northpole/Fairbanks area. Their small building doesn't accommodate large parties though; more than 8 would prove difficult to seat I think. I only wish there was a sixth star I could give.

Susan Lundgren

Great friendly service! We love their milkshakes! Classic did we food❤

JD Berry

Having my own place helps me appreciate the hard work and challenges operating a business such as this. Good hard working owners. I hope them well and the best towards thier future. Clean and well kept this is certainly a gem of a place. Food is good and plentiful. Two thumbs up. ~The German Chef.

David Gwynn

Great little diner with lots of character and good people. Watch out for their banana split... it feeds 3... At Least!!

Tanyarat Yordsripeng

Awesome STAFF! Great food and big portions!

Candice Grimsley

Always delicious food. Never have to wonder if the service or the food will be bad unlike we have to with other restaurants in the area. Breakfast, lunch or dinner ; the food is always on point. Huge portions! I have had almost everything on their menu- can't go wrong!!

Rusell Johnston

Decorated like a 50's diner with good food and good service. You will enjoy it.

Albina Garman

Has great buffalo burgers

bear bear

Great staff, small place not for large groups

Shay Rogers

Food was really good, got a cheesesteak and a bowl of chili. Our waitress Taylor was very nice and friendly (even with my picky order). Very welcoming atmosphere. A bit more expensive than I was expecting but this was our first food stop in Alaska so I'm thinking the prices are about average. Everything was very good and I will DEFINITELY go back!!!

Crystal Gibson

I love going to Little Richard's! I haven't had anything here that I haven't loved. The staff is always great. It's definitely a small town diner feel. If you're not set on sitting across the table from another person, I'd totally recommend sitting at the counter. It was so fun to watch food being made and get to interact with the staff.

Wall Eye

Prices are about average for the area but the serving size is better. Good food, good service even though it was busy. Zero complaints. We'll return!

Mark Velasquez

Great food, huge portions. The only downside to this restaurant is how cramped it is on the inside but there is not much they can do about this aside from expanding or getting a new location.

James Perrizo

Excellent food, atmosphere, and outstanding service.

mike bruner

Really enjoy this restaurant. Good prices and delicious food. Always a good spot for the family. Also try one of their tasty shakes they are uber delicious.

Rhonda & Willie Martinez

Oh my goodness! Best Giant Delicious portions I have ever eaten! Next time I am in Alaska I will be back!

Ashley Wear

Truly a family focused place. We have laughed so much reading the little plaques on the wall. Pro tip: take a date here just for the ice cream sunday. It's a meal on its own. Corn Fritters are AMAZING!

Cash Money Jambro

Great diner! Tasty food and excellent service. Burgers, fries, onion rings and shakes were a hit with whole family.

Mary Hoy

Great food great prices. Fast service and really good atmosphere. Pancakes are huge!!

Chloe Salerno

Service was great and food was delicious! Loved the decor, as well.

Cory Smith

Great food average price prob $15- $17 for a dinner. Spaghetti and meatballs very good! Quite a few different selections to choose from. Place is smaller so you might have to wait for a table during rush hour but overall the food is good and it's a popular stop in North Pole, AK right off the highway and easy access.

Maylin Bay

Small but sweet. Staff is ALWAYS friendly and the food is pretty good.

Greg Workman

Good food with a nice family and retro atmosphere.

David & Liza Taylor

First timers! If your visiting North Pole, definitely come grab a burger and one of their sundaes. The portions don't disappoint! You'll walk away happier and fatter.

Sarah Loyd

Great food but expensive

Rachel Howe

This place is a family favorite. My kids are willing to try new soups because they are always so good. Love the atmosphere in this cute diner!

Richard Kelley

Way to much grease won't be back sorry

Fred Nelius

Delicious hamburger steak dinner.

Thenrin Solarinus

Regular customers are known by name, and the crew is just about the happiest family (and it is a family) you will meet. The food shows the care they put into everything they serve. Portions are generous, and prices reasonable. I have brought friends multiple times, never once have we been disappointed. If you want great food at a good price, this the place

the king potato

Hands down the best restaurant in town. This deserves ten stars.

Jessica McMillen

My wife and I stoped by here 3 times to eat in the 2 weeks we were here in September of 2018 while in Alaska! This place is hands down the best burgers and fries and fast food we have had anywhere in Alaska. Wish we new of it when we went through in 2017. Love this place!!

Craig Long

Fantastic food, huge portions.

Lynn Jackson

So yummy!

Ralph Ray Bendixen

Excellent food, great atmosphere, fun to watch them cook.

Matthew De Noble

Good Breakfast; Great Milkshakes!

Michael Kennedy

Northernmost rail car diner in the US. Well prepared typical diner food. If you can, sit at the counter and watch the owner and his son efficiently process the orders, like a free show. Family owned and operated, very friendly. My friend had the Philly cheesesteak and said they're the closest he's had outside of Philadelphia. The burgers are good and the fries are great. Good milkshakes too! Worth the drive from Fairbanks, almost a required stop if you are in North Pole anyway.

ケイレン

Gonna miss this place. Always the best service and food. Been here at least once a week and wish they had a diner back in Japan. The milk shakes are just fantastic. And they make you feel like family. I love everything about this spot. Hopefully I’ll come back again soon, and hopefully this place is still open!

James Lindsey

Who doesn't love an old-fashioned train-car diner? Especially when the food and service is excellent. Amazing meals throughout the day, but you need to try a shake!
