Nestled in the heart of Bristol, NH, Gina’s Place is a charming breakfast restaurant that invites you to start your day with fresh, carefully prepared classics served in a warm, welcoming atmosphere. This cozy spot on 15 Pleasant St has quickly become a beloved local gem, where the emphasis on quality ingredients and thoughtful cooking shines through every dish.
Gina’s Place specializes in hearty, comforting breakfast fare with a menu that promises something delicious for every palate. One of the standout offerings is the expertly crafted Eggs Benedict, featuring perfectly poached eggs resting on a grilled English muffin slathered with real butter and paired with savory Canadian bacon. The delicate balance of rich hollandaise sauce and tender eggs offers a mouthwatering experience that guests like Mike Pampanin rave about.
If you prefer something with a bit more variety, the extensive range of three-egg omelets deserves attention.

The ambiance at Gina’s Place is a true reflection of its community roots—intimate, bustling, and warmly inviting. Patrons like “pad256” have noted the friendly staff and the quick, attentive service that delivers hot, fresh meals that feel genuinely made with care. The restaurant isn’t about oversized portions but rather perfectly proportioned servings that respect the ingredients and the diner’s appetite, creating a feeling of being honored through the meal, as Utah Carol beautifully puts it.
While the menu remains focused and succinct, its smaller size ensures quality over quantity, making each bite memorable. Even the simple home fries and raisin toast are prepared with a level of care that elevates the meal beyond typical diner fare. Though some may find the coffee average, the richness and freshness of the food more than make up for it.

This is so very close to a five star, the staff, super friendly. Also very busy. The food is exactly what you want, fresh very hot and quick to the table. I was a great breakfast. Thank you Gina's place for a delicious meal.
Today we visited Gina’s Place in Bristol, NH, for breakfast, and overall, we had a great experience. It was our first time there, and we could immediately sense the welcoming, local feel of the diner. I ordered “The Basic” (two over-medium eggs, rye toast, and home fries) with a Belgian waffle. My wife had the Mexican omelet, and our daughter enjoyed a chocolate chip pancake topped with whipped cream and real maple syrup—which we appreciated having as an option over imitation syrup. My meal was satisfying. The eggs were cooked as requested, and the waffle was crisp around the edges, which I liked—though it wasn’t especially fluffy. The whipped salted butter was a standout and complemented the waffle nicely. I personally prefer home fries to be seasoned or sautéed with onions or peppers; these were more plain, just browned potatoes. Not bad, just a matter of taste. My wife's omelet had good flavor, but it would have been even better if the fillings (peppers, tomatoes, sausage) were cooked into the eggs rather than folded in afterward. Again, something to ask about based on your preferences. The highlight of the meal was the chocolate chip pancake. It was absolutely delicious—light, fluffy, and indulgent. Even my wife, who usually isn’t a fan of pancakes, said it was the most delicious pancake she’s ever had. What really stood out was the atmosphere. The diner has a cozy, familiar vibe, and the staff clearly have great rapport with their regulars. The waitress was warm and attentive, and you could tell this is a place that people return to for both the food and the service. We’d definitely recommend Gina’s Place—and encourage first-time visitors to ask about how items are prepared if you have a particular style you prefer. It’s a charming local spot worth stopping in.
Only -1 for being very, very small Food: I had 2 eggs with bacon and raisin toast and home fries Eggs: very light and fluffy (farm fresh) Bacon: good but a bit stale Raisin toast: GREAT! Freshly baked, hot, fresh, +++ Home fries: not greasy, well cooked, taste very fresh Coffee: eh....not great but food was sooo good totally overshadowed it. Menu: kinda small with not a lot to choose from, the food is great so no matter what get will be good! Prices: very reasonable but I think way to low for the quality of food received, my meal with nice tip was $15! Not handicap friendly! Very, very small inside Call ahead make sure a spot will be available! Great place to give a try! Easy access, right off 104 as enter Bristol center Amendment- had the SOS (biscuits and gravy), was the best I’ve had in area, the gravy was so flavorful and the biscuit was fresh and warm- everything was just perfect so getting rid that -1* for small size, the food is just so good it doesn’t matter that location is super small.
Cutest place. Everything made from scratch. Food is delicious with perfectly proportioned servings. Not a place with mile high piled food on the plate. Thanks goodness! The food and its preparation feels honored and respected. For sure more about the coffee and less about hot tea. I'm a tea drinker and they don't really have proper hot tea etiquette. But a minor inconvenience considering how they can rock crispy fried bacon and a perfectly steaming hot egg white omelette. Highly recommend. Oh! And I love so much how they promote other local-owned businesses on their branded coffee mugs. Brilliant!
I had the Eggs Benedict cooked to perfectly the English muffin grilled with real butter and side of Canadian bacon:) will be coming back soon!
Gina’s Restaurant is the best of a hometown breakfast experience . The homemade food is cooked to perfection, the owner and staff are friendly, efficient and remember the customers. The atmosphere is warm with the hum of local conversations where friends share life stories while enjoying a coffee . This is a must stop if you are visiting the Bristol NH area.
Had breakfast and it was delicious! Great service and more than reasonable prices. Two people, full breakfast including home fries and homemade toast, $27, including taxes. Not to mention too mention endless cups of coffee. Will definitely be back
