While they say they have gluten free options, its just the seasoning thats applied. The food options we chose were cooked well and had good flavor. AND the rolls that were brought out were like pillows of deliciousness. If they had used those rolls for their burger, my review would be much better. But overall I would return. Many have said it reminds them of an old pizza hut and they are correct. But its very clean inside.

It's gotta be the steaks that keep this place in business! Have you ever been to a potluck where…read moreyou didn't really know anyone, there wasn't much of any type of vibe, and there wasn't much of any sort of interior decorating that was interesting to look at even for a few seconds? Where you just kinda went, ate, and left without a sense of satisfaction? That's this place. I've lived in Etown for 7 1/2 years and I've probably been to Christopher's four times--long enough between each visit to forget why it's been so long since I've eaten here. I had the 12 oz Ribeye, which was sooooooo good!! Medium well with just enough seasoning that I forgot I asked the waitress to leave the A1!! The baked potato, however, was bland and dry, but maybe that's my fault and I should have asked for additional butter. And I don't know WHY that coleslaw had the funky flavor it had, but it certainly didn't excite my tastebuds the way coleslaw usually does! It tasted like cardboard. I should have listened to that little voice in my head telling me to get the fries! Like I said, the steak was bomb, but the rest was buns. In the future, I hope I don't say to myself, "Gee, I haven't eaten at Christopher's in so long, I have forgotten what it's like. I better find out." Nothing outstanding about the service, but nothing to gripe about either. The three employees we interacted with were nice.

We never did get the waters we asked for, but our pizza and chicken Gorgonzola were excellent...even on the wobbly table from which we ate!

The restaurant was m pretty packed on arrival. There was only 1 clean booth open. There was a large table but it needed to be cleaned. We opted to wait for the table to be cleaned due to us being a party of 5. We were seated around 11:55am and given paper menus and silverware. The menu was a little dirty as it had spots on it. Around 12:03pm, waitress took order. They didn't have a kids menu available for breakfast. Waitress said it was pancakes and fries or fruit, I believe... The kids menu for lunch items is on the menu already. I got the pancake and 2 tenders with a side of home fries. After ordering, I noticed the use paper/plastic bowls and plates for the food of customers who were already eating. I thought this was definitely different. However, it is easy clean up. The food came at 12:25pm. One of my pancakes was over cooked on one side.. however, the home fries were delicious. I ended up getting a second pancake because I thought my order came with two, but it worked out since my first one crappy. The 2nd pancake was nice and golden! With the plastic plates.. they gave me a plate with sections for my pancake... that's not very conducive to cutting and eating a pancake. This restaurant definitely gives me diner vibes. I can tell it's a popular small town place that is often frequented by the locals. The service, in my opinion, was a little slow especially as it was not as busy once we were sat. I think this could be due to being short staffed. If I'm ever in the area again, I would stop by again!

This was my first trip to "Carolina Girls", and while I had read what I could find about the food,…read moreservice and ambiance, I hope to improve upon reporting so others will have an easier time. First, I will say that the food was good! I have to admit that it was not what I expected, but here is what I found. I ordered a combination of shrimp and flounder, with fries and green beans as sides. See the photo of shrimp and flounder, with fries and green beans! Shrimp were small, about 50ct I estimate. They were lightly battered and very tasty. I expected larger shrimp, but given the light batter and excellent taste, I thoroughly enjoyed the shrimp. The flounder was also lightly battered, and perfectly cooked. It was excellent. Fries are fries, and these were OK. But the real big surprise were the green beans! They were likely the best I've ever had. That leaves hush puppies, and their spread. The hush puppies could have been very good, but were served at just above room temperature. The spread was a butter substitute that was indeed sad. Here is my Professional Tip: Prepare and proudly present your own hush puppy spread. Make it by simply blending real butter and real honey and serve it in reusable stainless steel 2-oz containers. It would be unique, cost minimal, and set the pace for ambiance enhancement. Service was good, but they allowed kitchen staff to sit in the serving area and converse with customers. A little too "homey" for me. Lastly, in regard to ambiance they seem to be finding their "sea legs", as decorations did enhance the feeling of a seafood restaurant. Small improvements could be in changing ceiling light bulbs to a warmer 2700 Kelvin color range, and adding disposable place mats with three utensils, better napkins, and new condiment bottles. I know some may think of these suggestions as nit-picky, but please trust that I want this place to excel.

They were pretty busy during Friday lunch before a big holiday weekend. We got our meal to go because I did not realize that they were not dog friendly. Completely my fault because I did not check ahead. I knew that surrounding places with outdoor dining were so I assumed incorrectly. Not a big deal since there are lots of benches in the area to sit by the waterfront. I ordered the Grouper Salad sandwich, my husband got Thee special that came with 1/2 lb. peel and eat shrimp, crab cake, corn on cob with sides of cocktail and tarter sauce, and my daughter got the regular lunch special with came with shrimp, crab cake, and sauces. Unfortunately, my daughter's lunch only had the 1/4 lb. of shrimp when she opened her box so she had to hoof it back and wait In line again to get her crab cake and sauces. Thankfully, I texted her a copy of the receipt because they gave her a bit of a run around regarding her missing items. I should have gone in there with her. Several staff members asked to see the receipt and then asked if she was sure of what she ordered. If I had known they were going to give her a time, I would have taken care of it myself. Don't get me wrong, I get it. I worked in food service for many years but when a customer shows you a receipt, then tells you there was mistake, and is polite about it, the customer usually doesnt have to explain the issue to multiple people. It is off putting to put the customer to task for your mistake. They gave her a free small drink, which she appreciated. Other than the order mishap, our food was pretty standard. The tarter sauce was nice and thick but was warm. The crab cake was better than some I have had but a bit dry. I cannot say the meal was worth what we spent. My Grouper sandwich was the highlight but for $10.95 and no side it won't be enough for us to return. I am glad we got to try them out while we were there. We have lots of friends that love it. I think our experience would have been better if we had eaten there instead.

I don't know how else to describe it, it felt like there was so much love in that dining room, it just felt good to be surrounded by it. I got the shrimp and catfish, my husband got the hamburger steak, and daughter got the wings. Everything fried was crisped to perfection, shrimp was definitely my favorite of the seafood and the wings were delicious as well! My husband said his hamburger steak was also great. Now for the hush puppies: oh my goodness, they were so addictive, it was almost like crispy cornbread(I would come back just for these!) The portions are huge and the prices are not so that was another highlight. To finish the review off I have to say thank you to the staff for being so kind and making us feel welcome, we will definitely be back next time we head this way!!

The menu that was delivered to the table, was far past its prime. I actually hesitated touching the menu, as it was noticeably unclean. That said, and equipped with a "lower bar", I ordered the fried shrimp and flounder dinner. Within 10 minutes, dinner was delivered to my table. Surprisingly, the dinner was very good. Lightly battered, properly fried, hot and delicious. I say "delivered", because there was no semblance of "service". No asking about condiments, refilling of water, or similar service oriented conversation. In noticing ambiance, most seating was at the "bar", with only 6-8 tables for non-bar clients. BTW, restrooms were clean and well maintained. The noticeable "ambiance" was the multiple TV's set to different sports channels. Perhaps my expectations were different than other clients, although I overheard similar thoughts from an adjacent table. I'll try this restaurant another time and report my experience.
