Christopher’s catered my daughter’s wedding. The food was great, the employees there were personable and professional. It was a great experience and I would highly recommend them!

Good place with great staff; each week when wife and I visit, the atmosphere is inviting and cheerful. Nicole and Jade are always attentive to when drinks need a refill as well as when any food may have any mishaps and they always do more than enough to correct any issues. They even remember when the wife and I forget to specify the veggie versions of a dish and write it in anyway. In short a great place with an amazing veggie gravy and even better staff.Vegetarian options: Most of the Vegetarian friendly options are labeled with a leaf while others can be ordered vegetarian friendly, such as biscuits and gravy being able to be ordered using veggie gravy.

My husband and I have been coming here every week since around Christmas time. Nicole (sweetest server around) has our table ready when we arrive and knows my drink order before we even sit down.We absolutely love the atmosphere, food, but most of all the friendliness and family vibe we receive from the staff and other patrons. Nicole, and sometimes Steve, pop by every so often just to catch up and ensure that the food is amazing as always.We absolutely love/adore this place and it makes my week every time we walk in to the best smells and Nicole/Jade's smiling faces. Highly recommend the vegetarian gravy - it is the best in town, including my own.

I'm so happy to see Christopher's comeback over the last year or more. We loved going to their OG location but this new one is.much nicer and has a great atmosphere. I got the biscuits and gravy that were delicious and my fiance got the eggs benedict.Come out and support this small business that has proved themselves to be successful and that they know what they're doing twice now.

First impressions kind of stick with you and set the tone for your visit. We arrived at about 12:30/ 1 pm, for brunch, mind you they close at 2, we were a party of 2 and there were 2 tables available that would have sat 4-6 people. The owner greeted us and looked around eyeing these 2 tables while assessing the customers who might be finishing up. This was understandable. He asked us to wait a couple of minutes and continued visiting with his customers. Meanwhile (5 minutes, give or take), the two servers greeted us and desired to seat us but couldn't without owners' permission / fear of his displeasure. He finally comes back and takes a moment to look over the very same floor and decides to split the 4 top into two 2 tops, carrying one halfway across the dining room. The server sat us at the one table along side of room at our request. She the greeted us and took drink order, then we were approached by owner to move to other table in middle of room because he had a party of 3 walk in and "he couldn't set them in middle as it was crowded, but he could where we were". We requested to stay where we were, and he huffed off. While readjusting the table in the center to accommodate the 3... mind you, the round table is still available, and it is nearing closing... we then hear him conversing with customers about our desire to not be close to others as though it was offensive. It was merely a privacy and health precaution as one lives with elderly and fragile woman.It appears this place is loved by locals. We came because of location and reviews, but did not feel welcomed, but rather an inconvenience and a bother to him.Our server, Victoria, was great. She tried very hard to care for us in an uncomfortable situation. She was efficient, kind, and courteous. Thank you.Thank you to kitchen staff for your efforts in helping me to have safe food to eat. I appreciate you and all your efforts.The food we ate was good. Although, the staff was not prepared for persons with food sensitivities or allergies. It appeared to fluster the whole house when I presented requests to know and understand how they handled food... for gluten sensitivity and severe fish allergy. I eat out a few times a week, and I know what to look for concerning what I can and can't eat just by looking at a menu... ie. "fried fish- don't order anything fried, grilled fish - request option of special prep in clean skillet," but it is helpful if staff is trained and informed as well.We also noted that the owner was checking in on every table (maybe 15 in total) and chatting, but he never once checked or stopped by or had shown any concern of our food or time in his establishment.I normally review a meal or place as to whether I would eat that meal or dine there again... was it enjoyable enough to note "yes, I would." I struggle to say that for Christopher's... but the next time I am in town, I will consider a second chance.Dietary restrictions: See post

Best breakfast I have had in years! Amazing choices and amazing food! Prime rib selections - amazing! Went healthy with California bowl and unbelievably satisfied! Abundance of chicken, fresh avocado, and perfectly cooked eggs! So glad we came here.

Great food, atmosphere is a bit lacking. During my last visit, my server ended up having a full-on employee counseling session w/the manager within eyesight and earshot of all guests... Awkward to say the least.

They have good food if you order takeout or delivery. This is a family restaurant which unfortunately means there are several loud tables all yelling over each other. There were about 7 children in the place and the infants were ignored as they screamed.The place is small and when one group gets loud the whole place matches that level just to try to have a conversation. The lady at table across from us answered her phone and was unable to hear and had to get up and go outside just to hear he phone.The place needs something on the walls to dampen the sound because the brick isn't helping the situation. I gave high marks on the food because I liked it, but if you can't eat it without having to yell it's not a great experience.

In a sea of fast food, theme, restaurants, and places that love to take your money,, and couldn’t care less if they ever see you again I have found another gem.Christopher’s is a breath of fresh air. Great food, easy location, decent pricing,along with family like Customer Service that I frankly haven’t seen in a long time, is a staple here.This is my fifth visit in five weeks. My friend Mark and I have made this our after church breakfast location.Sitting in a historic building for East Dayton, Riverside, the old Pizza Hut sit down restaurant on Linden Avenue is now home to what I hope to be another historic location for the East Riverside community.Stop by tell him Dan said hi.
