Delicious food and nice ambiance. The breakfast special, filet mignon, was perfectly cooked and very juicy. Service was fast and our waiter was very polite and friendly.

The food was good, however, there was a sour smell in the air. I could not figure out what it was. Very strange. Overall, it clearly needs an interior redecoration... there is just something very dated about everything here. The people were nice, however I don't think I will be back.

The food always hits so hard and I feel so welcomed whenever I dine there. It's a great atmosphere, not too bright or too dim and is comfortable. Highly reccomend!

I chose this restaurant because the reviews were stellar and on my trip to Pennsylvania I needed a late night meal. Boy was I in for a surprise and not a good one. It all started with attempting to place an order. It turns out that their GrubHub site is broken and that you cannot place a delivery order by calling the restaurant directly instead you must order through DoorDash. The door dash menu was not complete and apparently has a few mix-ups. Let's get started. First, I wanted a house salad but what I got was a Mediterranean salad. The salad was just average at best... And I'm not saying this just because I'm bitter that the restaurant packed no napkins or utensils for me and the DoorDash delivery person who got tipped beforehand didn't bother to think of those things as they delivered to my hotel room either. Anyhow onto the fried avocado... At a nearly $15 price tag I wasn't expecting half of a mini avocado... There was no Chipotle or lime in the Chipotle lime tuna ceviche.... This was such a disappointment all around... A ceviche is something that cooks the tuna in the marinade instead of having some bizarre sear on the outside and soaking in none of the aforementioned flavors... Do you see the mango pineapple salsa? I didn't see or taste it either... At the bottom underneath some lettuce was a few pieces of corn and what look like maybe a slice of a diced tomato... What is this? No bueno! And then to the potato skins... Gosh it's really hard to mess this up... bacon, cheddar cheese, scallions and sour cream... What can go wrong? Well you can make them extremely hard with the stingiest amount of cheese and fell to use basic seasoning on the skins like salt at least and maybe a dash of pepper if you want to be adventurous... This had no salt on it to be heard of or tasted. Finally, The whole reason why I selected Christopher's... The prospect of a brisket Birria taco.... I don't know who did this or why but I think my camera actually made the meat look better than it was sad and gray and tasteless... The broth looked and tasted like it was the bottom of the beef chili container... And it just wasn't good... So, ruined brisket meat with a terrible broth does not a brisket birria aco make. I'm not sure if this was just an off night or what the problem was but all of these things coupled with not even being able to get a napkin and a fork with my order coupled with the low quality makes me wonder who is riding these reviews and maybe if perhaps it wasn't an off night if people should just go in so that they can get their order corrected while seated instead of having it delivered where they'll be sorely disappointed in the whole process and in the food itself. I don't mind paying 22 bucks for three Birria tacos when they're done correctly... This was not it ... what a waste of brisket! In my neighborhood, we call the whole thing a travesty.

The food was very good and the restaurant was very lively. It's much more of a family oriented restaurant than I realized. I would go back with kids but probably not just with adults. It was very loud so not ideal for quiet conversation. But if you're looking for a lively family friendly restaurant, this would be a great option!

Was recommended by two people - not sure I understand why. We had the jamabalaya, a margarita pizza and chicken ceaser wrap with a side order of fries ($2) and mac and cheese ($6). The wrap was ok but light in dressing, fries were soggy and greasy, mac and cheese was good but not great, jambalaya was good but not great, pizza was decent. Perhaps we ordered the wrong things but not sure I'd come back.
Great for a casual restaurant. Food was good, my jambalaya dish was delicious, I recommend it if you like spicy and seafood.

I've gone to and ordered from Christopher's too many times to count and every single time the quality of the food is drool-worthy. The staff is always very attentive and nice, and the atmosphere is super family friendly! This is hands down one of my favorite restaurants on the main line!
