Went to Christopher's recently with a large group of family. We had the side room reserved upstairs. Service was very quick and friendly, and the food was delicious and not expensive at all for the quality and portions. The drink menu was also extensive, they even had Mint Juleps for the Kentucky Derby! My fiancee and I split nachos (they... More

And other simple fare as these are done well. Fancier dishes tend to be disappointing.

This place is wonderful. Great food, healthy and vegeterian options, a comfortable and friendly neighborhood vibe and really good prices as well. This has been on my list of favorite places for a long time now. Nothing super high end about it, just very good food at very good prices in a nice atmosphere with excellent service.

The service is good and there is a large parking in porter square which is very conveniant. The food is good but not excellent, you get your typical pub burger. The have few beers on tap which is a plus.

We went to Christophers after a high school football game on a Friday night. there was a wait but we took two seats at the bar and ate there. The draft beer selections are too numerous to count and they let you sample before buying. They also have more traditional bottled beer. Both of us had a mushroom swiss cheese... More

The hand-stuffed ravioli is delicious! They always have a special on a different variety of hand-stuffed ravioli, and I have never been disappointed. This has become a favorite restaurant of mine for nights out in the Boston area. I love their sangria, its not overly pricey but its super refreshing, be sure to order a pitcher next time you visit!... More

I've lived in Porter Square for over 25 years. I'd say Christopher's is a neighborhood institution. It's friendly and has a pub-like atmosphere. And they have an expansive beer selection, which I think must be what brings so many people here. I've eaten here many times. Over the years there have been a small number of dishes that are worth...

Christopher's offers something for everyone's taste. Their menu covers the gamut from great burgers to Mexican to seafood. We went on a Saturday night with a large group. Service was quite good. Everyone enjoyed their food. Only complaint is that it is hard to find a nearby parking spot.

The staff are always great here: friendly and efficient. We love their burgers and the nachos are legendary! The bar staff are really knowledgeable and have lots of yummy things to imbibe, from the rotating selection of beer to their specialty designer cocktails. It's got everything! Also, great value for this area. A place you can really get to love.... More

We were looking for something in the cambridge area that had a goods variety of food. This is the place. We also wanted to watch a game while we ate with the kids. No problem. Tha bar is separated by a low wall with tables so you can watch the games. Food was priced right and was good.
