Good food and a Good Price, Service is usually pretty good and the managment is almost always walking around helping the staff and making sure everything is going well. They have a huge menu but unlike other places they pull it of well. The food is good and tasty and the portions are huge. No matter what you are in... More

We had dinner here as were staying across the street and very happy with the restaurant. The staff were good and owner stopped by to ask how dinner was. Food excellent and prices good. Will be back if in the area again.

We were on family business and needed a convenient and simple place to have a simple dinner with three adults and one eight-year old. This was across the road from our hotel, accessible on foot and fit the bill. A no-frills place with so-so food at reasonable prices. Not where we'd choose to eat, but it worked for all of... More

I have been here many times while visiting my daughter and family in fogelsville. After losing my dear mother days prior, we didn't want to cook. We were a party of 7. Great service, excellent food. The kids were satisfied with the offerings.

I've been coming to Chris' for many years now. It was a meeting spot in high school for late night coffee and a snack. The food is always good. The service is always good. And the owner is on premise most of the time. I especially like the chicken orzo soup and the Greek gyro.

Liked the reviews and after a couple of hours outside looking for birds, it was hard to make a choice. I went with the special which included a Carnegie potato. I had not had one before but it was very good and so was the scrapple. I am particular about my scrapple and this was tasty and browned perfectly. Coffee... More

We had a party of five, 3 hungry adults and 2 starving kids. The restaurant is quite large so getting seated quickly was not a problem. Menu is overwhelming with the available choices, can't say you couldn't find anything that caught your eye. Service was pretty good, food was better than average and prices were reasonable.
