We got breakfast burritos that were made with a premix hash that 90%potatoe with a trace of egg and sausage, no seasoning whatsoever. I was able to find a jalapeno that I added, never again.

We stopped at Kelly’s Diner after checking into our hotel because not much was open, and it came recommended to us.

The restaurant itself is nice and clean, with well-kept furniture and an overall neat appearance. Our server, May, was absolutely wonderful—adorable, very sweet, accommodating, and attentive. She truly made the experience better and deserves recognition for her service.

That said, there were a couple of issues. The first thing we noticed was that there was no hot water in the bathroom. Given how cold it was, this was uncomfortable, and from a hygiene standpoint, hot water is important for handwashing.

Ray ordered the ribeye steak and was disappointed. While it was priced at $28, it lacked flavor and was gray rather than having a nice sear or crust. It just didn’t feel like it matched the price point. I ordered the vintage burger on toasted sourdough, and that was actually very good—I really enjoyed it and found it flavorful and satisfying.

Overall, the service—especially from May—was excellent, and the restaurant was clean and welcoming. However, the lack of hot water and inconsistency in food quality made it hard to give a higher rating. With a few improvements, this could be a much stronger dining option in Willits.
