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!" The only downside is having to go outside and around the building to use the bathroom, but I'm not going to ding them a star for something outside of their control. read more

This place has the best gravy for biscuits and gravy in town. I think they use bacon grease in the gravy which is unique but great. read more

Christo's Cafe - Busicits and Gravy - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Orlando, Florida

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

Very excited to try this place in our quest to find the best local diner (a fixture from my childhood back in NY). To start, ordered decaf coffee which while fresh was fairly weak- I'm a fan of a strong cup, so this was a little bit of a downer. Switching to regular didn't help so much, but that's ok, the food definitely made up for it. I ordered the avocado and toast with eggs and home fries. This was simple but so delicious and generous portions too! I had to pack some up to take home because it was too much goodness. Mom got the two pancakes and these were stellar. Just how I like my pancakes - fluffy, a little on the chewier side but since I've been on the wrong side of dry pancakes this was a welcome change. I'd say these are worthy of a return visit, easy. I may just get my coffee elsewhere (no offense!) All in all a nice meal, good service, let's work on the coffee perhaps but a good spot to check out. read more

I have been to both locations - Sanford and Edgewater. I love Christo's restaurant. It's such a great family food type of restaurant and atmosphere. The servers are so sweet which makes for a great and memorable experience. They also serve brunch all day! read more

Usually Christo's doesn't miss. Your classic mom and pop breakfast spot. Always busy and always quick with the food. My first taste of grilled biscuits was here and I would highly recommend. My sausage this day was surprisingly bland and I NEEEVER add salt to restaurant food but I actually salted my eggs bc the sausage was not salty at all. Overall great spot to grab early breakfast with fair prices. read more

This place really reminds me of a typical truck stop in the movies (in a good way) it has a vibe of a old school dining room! And the place is located is beautiful! COVID-19: This store has enforced the face makes and keep it on until your get your food or drinks. Witch that extra layer of protection makes me think they really do care about their customers. Staff: The restaurant staff is very friendly and makes you feel like your part of that place! They come check up on you! Food: The food was outstanding! And the hot chocolate really hit the spot with this Christmas season! I love this place and would definitely come back because it's also affordable! I would more then definitely recommend going to this place if your around the area! read more

The best diner on College Park! Hands down! Trust me, I have gone i every diner and this place is phenomenal. I have tried everything on the menu (non pork). My go to is the house chicken orzo soup and either a breakfast meal or a lunch platter. Today I ordered corn beef hash with eggs and toast. All of it was delicious. The next day I ordered the country fried steak with tater tots and potato salad. The portion was huge and it was delicious and also had plenty leftover. The parking is tight, I park down the road usually. read more

Christo's Cafe is a small diner located on the main strip of College Park and while they have some stiff competition in terms of these small cafes and diners, their food does warrant a visit here. My daughter and I stopped here for breakfast on the way to me taking her to work on a Sunday morning around 9:00. Well there were a decent amount of people, I am sure it would be much more crowded after church lets out. I opted for a breakfast favorites, chicken fried steak and eggs over easy. I had asked my server if they make the chicken fried steak in house. They do not spare in Jim Trailblazer but she did say they were good and very popular. It has been more than a minute since I had that, so I went with that. My daughter had the lox. Wall my breakfast was not stellar, it was not terrible. The chicken-fried steak power as I was told, was obviously out of a box. The eggs and home fries were well executed. My daughter said that her plate was very good. I will give here another chance and next time I will go with a different dish. I had almost ordered the chipped beef, maybe next time I shall. read more

Service was great. But the overall flavors were very bland the eggs taste like water and the gravy very powdery. Overall most of it was taken home. The buffalo chicken sandwich was a unseason piece of chicken breast tossed in buffalo i took two bites and threw the rest out Almost 15 dollars for a nasty sandwich. The food is very pricey for the taste of you're looking for something with good flavor i wouldn't recome this place. Nice idea but Overall this place needs WAY more flavor ! read more

We went to Christo's for lunch on Saturday and were very impressed. The inside is small and has your traditional diner feel. The service was excellent. The soup of the day (lemon chicken orzo) was great, I wish I had gotten a bowl instead of a cup because it was so good. The club sandwich and the bacon cheeseburger were great with large portions of each. We also ordered a side of sausage gravy to dip ours fries in and it was amazing. Next time I will probably get biscuits and gravy or something else that features the gravy since it was so good. read more

The server's are super friendly, the outside seating is great to just sit and watch the world go by. The food is your traditional diner food, but the sandwiches are surprisingly not too greasy! Rather large menu and very clean. read more

We stopped in for breakfast and was not disappointed. This is a great spot for lunch, too. The service was good. The ambiance was relaxed and friendly. We chose to sit outside.

College Park on Edgewater. I see a lot of 5 star reviews here and I have to say, I disagree. A lot of them were for breakfast so kaybe that's it. Anyway, the place is fine - I'm not hating, just not a 5 imo. Nice little diner - it's clean and cozy inside. Staff was nice. I had a BLT and fries which were both average and the BLT actually skewed a little below average to me. Bacon was chewy, I like crunchy bacon so maybe it's just my preference. Anyway, I'd eat here again and it's fine but Im going 3.75 and not 5. read more

Loved our meal, very kind and accommodating service. We enjoyed the French toast & eggs Benedict!

Perfect quick, easy, and cheap meal! Christo's is absolutely perfect for brunch. Get the buttermilk pancakes or a western omelet! Whenever my family or my boyfriends family are in town, we bring them to our local favorite. Indulge while you're here. The pancakes are light and fluffy, the omelettes fresh and tasty, and the biscuits are made locally. Coffee is the on the weak side so opt for the sweet tea or bring your own coffee. Their patty melt is pretty delicious for lunch if you're not in the mood for breakfast. On a personal note Christo's has figured out grits. read more

The food was scrumptious and the staff was super friendly and helpful. Only reason I did not rate 5 stars is because they need some remodeling done. Besides that, it was an affordable, delicious place to eat. Will definitely be visiting again soon. read more

Haven't been to this old College Park staple for years, and it's still great! Decidedly casual, old-style diner, with indoor and outdoor seating. Saw in other Yelp reviews that the club sandwich was very popular, and we were not disappointed! Fantastic turkey, ham and thick bacon, stacked too tall to bite!. The patty melt was very tasty, and the (thick) steak fries and potato salad were both quite good. Friendly, quick service -- perfect for breakfast or lunch, although I realized on this visit that they're open for dinner on weekends. read more

Stopped in while in the area from Saint Augustine and had a great breakfast this morning. We were greeted as soon as we came in the door and our server Susan was very attentive and friendly.

Will stop by again when I town!! read more

I went for Saturday morning brunch with three close friends and we were able to snag a table outside during a beautiful, slightly chilly day. Our server was good! Helpful with the menu and just personable. My first impression of the coffee was not very good. It's typical diner coffee that's not strong and kinda blah. That was a bit of a disappointment honestly, but I guess it is a diner. I got the Philly Steak Omelet with Hashbrowns. I had my eye on multiple omelets as they all looked pretty good! The omelet itself I believe had steak and onions inside and a slice of Swiss cheese on top. I enjoyed it and it was a full helping. I love omelets out at restaurants because of the large portion. You never leave hungry! Unfortunately, the hashbrowns were a major disappointment. I don't even know what I was eating! The flavor was bland and the texture was like overcooked noodles.... they are supposed to be potatoes! I literally couldn't eat them at all. Sooo unpleasant. I tried my friend's home fries and they were much better. My meal came with a choice of bread and I chose the biscuit and under recommendation from my sever I got it sliced and toasted with butter. Then I added jelly. It was a small biscuit but great! Can't say I'll be back soon, as I don't frequent College Park often and this experience didn't wow me. Parking tip: super small parking lot at Cristo's itself but I parked on a side street north of it and walked over. read more

I came in on a Thursday around noon, my first time here. Tables were available, out party of two got seated right away and Jessy got out drink orders. I ordered the works omelet and one pancake. The pancake was absolutely devine, not to mention the price! I don't have pics of the omelet because I went right for it. But I snagged one of the pancake that was just 2.95! read more

Great small diner with local feel. Cozy inside seating but opt for outside if the weather is good, the tables are covered so you won't roast from direct sun above. Im always looking for good patio dining. As other say, parking is tight, but doable. Very good prices for breakfast. Dishes aren't particularly creative (except for what's on the daily special menu) but they are just done right and tasty. We had the County Style, County Boy, and French toast- biscuits and gravy, eggs, bacon, sausage. read more

Arriving to Orlando a day early allowed us to explore the city in the morning and grab some grub before going to help the Queen of Yelp Orlando - Andi P - with her amazing event that afternoon. So knowing there was a long day of work ahead we stopped in here to fill the tank! And fill the tank we did! While the food isn't innovative - it's good 'ol diner style breakfast...and I'm ok with that. Grilled biscuit - these things were amazing. Eggs Benedict - subbed ham for bacon...it was solid! Hashbrowns were perfect. I'm a huge fan of hashbrowns but not a huge fan of how so many people make them so many different ways. These were my ideal browns - perfect ratio of crispy and gooey. Fried French toast - these weren't mind blowing, but they got the job done to end the meal on a sweet note. The service was good. Our server was super busy as the place was packed (on a weekday? Really? That's a sign this place is doing great!) but he managed to check in on us, make sure we were good and the food came out surprisingly fast. In total it was $24 for both of us (including drinks!) We left pretty stuffed. read more

I ate a Christo's for the first time this morning (I like to try a new dinner every month) and Linda was absolutely amazing! She brought us waters with our menu's along with straws and silverware. She mentioned the specials and said to close out menus when we were ready to order. She was there immediately and asked what type of jelly/ hot sauce we wanted. The food came out pretty quick and the portion size was more than I could eat but it was so delicious!! Linda checked on us twice, not too much - I like that! She even took our check up to the cashier for me. I had a great experience & will Definitely be back! Linda had such a great personality I wanted to take her home with us lol read more

When I say I enjoy the small cafe finds! I really do, and the price is shocking making it all the better; I have to ask all of that for this price! Then it's a gem! Christo's is a find for sure. And business is booming! This small gem is packed and they can handle it with plenty of inside and outside seating. And I parked right up front! Decor is small town cafe feel; just right for the small town hospitality. And with have a sign outside requesting the service of a cook. I was able to receive my order in record time: home fries and a breakfast sandwich at a price of $5.25 The server was very friendly and the stuff were moving swift, taking orders and returning with both arms plated up. Christo's is to date the best breakfast cafe I visited in Orlando do to the price, portion, and customer service! I say stop by for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Don't pass this place up! read more

I love the prices at Christo's and I love the atmosphere. One woman said her only complaint is that they don't allow dogs and I thank them for that. Who wants to eat bacon with a pooch watching? They let you sit and chat for a long time and it has a good, neighborhood feel to it. I don't think the food is spectacular, to be honest. The fried eggs are fried eggs. The omelets are good. The French toast is quite good. The hash browns are a little undercooked and as I recall, the corned beef hash isn't homemade. So it's not a foodie paradise. But it's an institution, they're nice to you, the food is solid and it just feels like a hometown diner--which is invaluable. The bacon is excellent and the coffee isn't awful. Props to any place that's always full and doesn't rush you. Props to any place that has this many regulars. read more

Excellent for breakfast. They have tasty omelets, pancakes, French toast. They offer egg whites if you're looking for a healthy option. Their Greek omelet is fantastic. They're a very family friendly spot. I have a toddler and often ask to add an egg to my meal so I can share. Also, great for lunch and dinner. Their salads are wonderful and their burgers are the best (IMO) on Edgewater drive. The Greek salad with chicken is brilliant. The "small burger" with fries is only $5. I often get the stewed green beans (very well seasoned!) instead of fries. Though the thick cut fries are pretty good. Or, sweet potato fries for $1 more. Do not miss the daily specials - they're often a deal including a side and soup. It's usually too much food so I take the soup home. A local gem. read more

Has a nice outdoor patio, but does not allow animals which automatically gives it a one star for me. Won't be going back even without my small dog. Past times sat at bar counter inside and kitchen looks dirty. Usually put up with this place because it's by our house and is usually quick, but never again. read more

Yesterday my sister and I had brunch here, we had never been and just wanted some really good breakfast in the area. It was very busy (to be expected, it was already 11am). I've worked service my whole life so I completely understand that we were going to need to wait longer for food, this didn't bother us at all. A girl named Jesse went above and beyond for everyone. Every time I, or any other customers needed anything at all, she was the one making sure we were happy with our dining experience. The greatest service anyone has shown in a very long time, thank you! read more

So yummy! Traveling for a soccer tournament nearby and I always look for a local place! This one popped up in my search. We were desperate for breakfast and it was after 2:00. The place is small and nearly full which to me meant it was a good sign. We were seated immediately and the food was delivered quickly. Our sever was kind and made great recommendations! My hubs had the blt, kids both had pancakes and I had a ham and cheese omelet! Everything was hot and fresh! I was bummed they were out of grist but it was pretty late so understandable! We will definitely be back when traveling through the area. read more

Well maybe it was a bad day, or maybe my expectations were too high, but this is not the place I read reviews on. First we were seated and told our server would be right with us. 15 min later, we had to ask for that server, as no one ever arrived. Then after placing our order l, we waited over 40min for cold food. We wanted to try a local place while in town for a weekend get away, guess we should have stuck to the chain restaurants. We will definitely not be coming back here. read more
