I love a Diner/Cafe, the ambiance here is just that, a quaint establishment where you feel right at home as soon as you walk in. I ordered the French toast with scrambled eggs and bacon. The French toast was fluffy and a little crispy....delicious! Eggs fried exactly like I ordered and crispy but not hard bacon. Service was great... I can't wait to go back here to try some other items,, though something tells me I will be ordering the French toast again:) read more

This was a lovely meal in a local, cozy diner. We had breakfast, shared Southwest omelet. Hubby had juice and I had coffee. Service was speedy and it truly was a great start to a morning of shopping in Edgewater. The omelet was loaded with peppers, onions, cheese and bacon. We got a couple pancakes on the side which had a great flavor, fluffy texture and substantial size. We grabbed a community newspapers, sipped coffee and enjoyed a leisure breakfast in this cozy and comfortable diner. We back in the area, we will return. read more

We recently visited Cristo's Cafe and had an overall average experience. We opted for the country breakfast--which included 2 eggs, 4 slices of bacon, biscuits and gravy, and home fries, though there are other options available if you'd like to mix it up. The restaurant is clean, tastefully decorated, and features a pleasant outdoor dining area. Prices are average ($26 including tip) and the portions are generous, with the food being good overall. The friendly staff added to the experience, making it a decent spot for a straightforward breakfast. Please note: The photos show a half order because my fiancé and I split the breakfast, and the staff was kind enough to bring it to the table already plated. read more

This small place was packed when my husband and I got there during brunch time. They have indoor and outdoor seating. The parking lot is small but you can also find street parking. We were greeted when we walked in to ask for a table. The server Suzanne was super nice and attentive to us. The pancakes are big so I split them with my husband. Next time we will get 2. I asked for over medium eggs but got over easy. The grits could use more love with seasoning but I guess it's better than over seasoned. The biscuit grilled was sooo yummy and fluffy! I wasn't a fan of the bacon because I like it crispy and they were not cooked all the way read more

This place was fantastic!!!! The service was a little slow but the food was worth it! The portions were really decent and half the price of most of the places around. I am a fancy pants brunch girlie but give me a solid diner with grits and wet eggs and you're going to have a happy girlie pop! I had the two eggs anyway (over easy), bacon, grits and sausage gravy. I only got water there but they had a bunch of beverage options. Thanks to Yelp for putting me into this spot! Highly recommend! read more

Two breakfasts from Christo's this week. Both were hot, fresh, perfectly prepared and served with a smile from Suzanne (if I got the name right)! I must say, the blueberry pancakes were some of the best in recent memory. Prices are fair as well. This would certainly be a regular stop if I was a local resident! read more

We came in for breakfast and had a great experience. Service was fantastic! We got seated quickly and our waitress checked on us and did refills regularly. For my meal, I got a chocolate chip pancake. Most people really only need to order one because the pancakes are giant. The pancake was delicious with crispy edges, a fluffy interior, and plenty of chocolate chips. It came with a light dusting of powdered sugar, butter, and syrup. I also got a side of the home fries, which were savory and perfectly fried up. I had their drip coffee and it was great. This is a wonderful place to go for local home style diner food. read more

Our first time at Christo's, and I was pretty excited going in based on positive reviews and seeing how busy the place was. We were able to quickly get a table despite how crowded it was. We decided on the Country Boy and biscuits and gravy. The food was bland, flavorless, and hardly even warm. Our server was sweet and took good care of us. However, when we went to pay, the lady at the front made a weird gesture at us when we handed her our receipt, instead of using her words to tell us she was asking for our card. She even mimicked the way we had said to have a great day, which was unnecessary. It was definitely off-putting and not a great end to an already bad breakfast. This place is probably great for its regulars, but as first timers we certainly felt out of place and not welcome. read more

My review is take out only. My son had a late breakfast there last week. He sent me a picture of the menu and asked if he could bring something home. I saw that they had liver and onions. I usually LOVE eating liver and onions at these little dive diners. This one was really disappointing. I opened the container to the entree and it was burned beyond repair. The liver, itself, was paper thin and charred to a chewy crisp. (See pictures) I tried to eat some of it, but it tasted worse than it looked. Basically went straight into the trash can. Simply put...a total waste of money. Luckily it came with coleslaw, so I ate that and had a little of their potato salad that accompanied the entree. Both were just ok. Not sure if they are only a breakfast spot, or if their cook had a bad day. Either way, I'm not too inclined to give this place an "in-house" visit. read more

Took my family for breakfast , the food tasted great , service was exceptional and for a sunday early afternoon there wasn't a a wait.

So glad to find this College Park institution from the same group that was located in Apopka. The food is just as good as I remembered and portions are generous. My sausage side order consisted of three well cooked patties, the English muffin crispy and buttered, my husband's Greek omelet well done. The best for us was seeing Suzanna, one of the kindest servers from Argo's. She is mindful and pleasant. We enjoyed the fact that our dog was welcomed on the patio. I was a little worried when I needed a key for an outside restroom but pleased that it was clean from top to bottom and fresh smelling with air freshener. We will definitely be back!! read more

During my recent visit, I was delighted by the warm ambiance, with both indoor and outdoor seating options available. The smaller size of the cafe indeed contributes to its cozy charm, making it a perfect place to savor a delicious breakfast while feeling right at home. The breakfast portions at Christos Cafe are sizable, and the quality remains consistently top-notch. Their menu caters to various preferences, offering a delightful array of classic breakfast options and unique specialties. Whether you opt for the pancakes or their signature omelets, the flavors and portion sizes are truly satisfying. They have seasonal takes on different items as well. The staff is so friendly! Their welcoming and attentive nature only adds to the overall pleasant experience. Christos Cafe may be smaller in size, but its cozy atmosphere, coupled with hearty portions and a friendly staff, make it an absolute gem. I look forward to coming back here! read more

Food not bad, not good. On a scale of 1-10 food is probably a solid 6. Ambiance is quaint classic diner feel. Host was nice and greeted us with a smile and told us to seat ourselves , but our server seemed rushed/not thorough even though the place wasn't that busy. I asked about switching my toast for tomato slices but was told it would probably be an up charge. Which is fine, but I don't think I've ever been somewhere that wasn't readily allowing that substitution. On the menu hot chocolate is listed as decorated with whipped cream and chocolate syrup but what was served was just plain and also a mess all over the mug. The check was brought out with the food and even fell on top of the food, which is unsanitary. Everything felt kind of thrown at us without any thought or care. We weren't given straws for our water and I thought maybe you have to ask, but then looked around and literally every single other person in the restaurant had straws, so I'm sure it's a standard, we just had to ask for some reason. When we left I noticed my fiancé had sticky gunk on the side and bottom of one of his shoes, we had to grab tissues and water bottle out of the car to clean before getting in the car. It might be a better experience depending on what server you get, but with Waffle House as an always solid option with consistent service/food, we won't be back here to test the theory. read more

Such a wonderful diner! It is family owned, indoor/outdoor seating, and specials offered every day. I love the uniqueness of this place - and their prices. I've visited a couple of times and have dabbled between their traditional breakfast plates; blueberry pancakes, eggs, and corn-beef hash. Lunch; sandwiches, soup, and more. All very good! Do yourself a favor and stop here. The best part is that this diner has been around for a long time so it's full of regulars, and locals. It's a fast-paced environment so you can surely expect to be seated and eat if you're in a hurry. read more

Good food overall but kind of expensive for diner food. Okay atmosphere. Good, attentive service.

Best breakfast in College park with a great robust menu. It's a wonderful place to go

Definitely working the neighborhood vibe. I stayed traditional with the over medium eggs, bacon, hash browns, and biscuit. My only complaint is that the hash browns were a little too crispy and didn't seem fresh. If I lived in the area I would be here frequently. My daughter does live near here and took me for Father's Day. read more

Okay his has become our Saturday tradition since we discovered it. One Saturday we were craving a cheeseburger, but were kind of fed up with the chain restaurants everywhere, and happened to be driving by Christo's which was advertising a bacon cheeseburger at the time. We pulled in, order the burgers and fries to go, & as soon as I took my first bite in the car, at the same time my bf exclaimed: "we gotta come back for breakfast! This is just too good!" 2 months later, and we haven't missed a Saturday. They regularly have specials: christos french toast, chicken fried steak, smothered pork chops. And traditional breakfast staples like scrambled eggs (with the cheese mixed in), bacon, sausage, & ham. The pancakes are absolutely perfect, and the waitresses are always so nice and attentive. They always offer a to go cup of whatever you're drinking, & the other night we opted for one of the desserts that have regularly displayed on the counter. The chocolate cake was too good to get a picture, and the baklava was perfect! Run here if you want a good, no frills, tasty breakfast! read more

First time visit today after driving past it a few times. This diner is very small with about 11 tables, counter seating and tables on the covered patio. Today we ordered an appetizer of corn Nuggets which were plentiful and crisp just right. We ordered a Cuban melt with sweet potato fries, a bacon cheeseburger with sweet potato fries and a pick two with a half tuna sandwich, cup of vegetable barley soup and a side of onion rings. Portion sizes are more than ample and we are all three taking home leftovers. The bacon cheeseburger is thick and the bacon is really really flavorful. The burger itself needed condiments for flavor. Service is friendly and as attentive as we wanted it to be. We dined around noon on a Wednesday and the restaurant is pretty busy. This diner is recommended if you are in the area. read more

We come here almost every weekend for either breakfast or lunch. Sometimes we will get a special & sometimes we get something delicious off the regular menu. Everything is delicious. And the portions are quite generous. The Greek salad is HUGE, & very filling!! And if I'm not too hungry they do have a lovely option of a perfectly cooked, small 4 oz cheeseburger with one side item that is just perfect. And they almost always have 2 soups available.... the house soup of the Greek Lemon Chicken, or another delicious housemade soup. Everyone who works here is terrific! We know many of the servers on a first name basis, they greet us with a big, friendly smile, & they take wonderful care of us.... like family. Plenty of seating inside & out. It's nice to have the area outside so you can bring furbaby & enjoy your meal outside. I have to say as a side note, there are some folks who write a glowing review & only give it 4 stars. What's up with that? I would give Christo's a higher ranking of 5 stars, but that's as high as it goes. read more

One of the worst meals I ever had. maybe if I went there for breakfast instead of lunch it was something would've been much better not much of a sandwich guy so I ordered the chop steak with onions and a bowl of chili bowl of chili was all dried out was like a pile of goop tasted old.. I bought the large chopstick that I take some home came with two big patties which was overkill. The patties were very unflavored full and the sauce wasn't good with onions on top terrible meal. I forget what I got on the side I think it don't understand the 4.0 rating out read more

If you're looking for a cozy, small town diner feel to get in touch with your inner Lorelai Gilmore.. this is your spot!

The biscuits were tasty and they're generous with their breakfast food portions. You could tell a lot of the customers were local regulars! Would come here again for my comfort breakfast food. read more

Covid Update: first week of June 2020. The good: plexiglass in front of register. The bad: zero employees wearing masks. Not one. A very "not covid around here" type vibe with everyone, the only reason I didn't leave was the dining room emptied when we were seated. Foodwise, very reasonable price for what you get. We ordered the Eggs Benedict and country style breakfast. It was tasty, with good portions. Server got up close and personal. Normally would be great, but during these covid-sensitive times, was worrisome. I don't think I'll be coming back until after this pandemic is under control. They didn't give me a feeling they cared much for virus mitigation. read more

Great, old, diner. Lots of options on the menu and they do it right. Server was back many times to refill coffee until I said, "no mas!"

Twenty years ago, my family and I ate at Christo's all the time. The food was consistently good. Nothing fancy, but it always hit the spot. At some point, we stopped going; I don't remember exactly why. This past New Year's Eve, I decided to go back for brunch and I'm happy to report that Christo's is back. Perhaps it never left. Both the food and the service were great. I sat outside and had a menu, coffee and a glass of water almost instantly. I ordered my Greek omelette with a side of grits and whole wheat toast and it was delicious. The coffee stayed topped off and I was even offered some fresh coffee in a to-go cup after paying the check. Like every place else these days, Christo's prices have gone up, but they're still in line with other restaurants serving similar food. With their great service, tasty food and convenient location in my neighborhood, I will be putting them back into my restaurant rotation. read more
