Was sat after 10 minutes then waitress came 3 minutes later took drink order, returned 5 minutes later with only water and no coffee, 5 minutes later came for the for meal order and still no coffee but said they are working on fresh coffee which proved not to be true since people after us were receiving coffee by their waitresses. 10 minutes later we decided to leave with no food or coffee being delivered. The whole restaurant appeared very disorganized. read more

Bland, Stale, Cold. Precooked hard potato rocks that they call home fries. Slow as Molasses waitstaff that stand around and chit chat while your coffee cup is empty or you are missing silverware.For the finale.....wait for it.... a long hair in my grits!! I have no idea why this place is popular. I have had better food at Waffle House! This was my second time here, I was giving it a second chance...but I will NEVER come back. read more

There isn't anything necessarily WRONG with J Christopher's, but there isn't really anything that stands out about it either. I dined here on Sunday for brunch and had to wait around 20 minutes for a table, which is reasonable. The service was friendly; however it was slower than I would have expected. It's understandable that sometimes kitchens can back up, but the waitress didn't do a great job of keeping us informed on how much longer we could expect to wait for our food. I ordered the pantry feast which comes with two eggs, two pieces of bacon, potatoes and a blueberry crunch cake. All were ok, although the bacon wasn't great quality (on the thinner side) and the potatoes could have been cooked a little longer. The pancake was pretty good but could have been lighter and fluffier. All in all this is an ok breakfast place but really just pretty average. The good thing is they never seem to have a very long wait for tables, and they are friendly here. read more

Why do I keep going back here? On this particular visit I ordered the Spinach & Bacon "Skillet". As described on their menu as: "A blend of flavors that make this the #1 most favorite Skillet. Spinach, bacon, sun-dried tomato with blue cheese crumbles". It should be called the Sun-Dried Tomato Skillet. I wish I had looked closer at the menu because I am not a big fan of sun-dried tomatoes. If a few were sprinkled in for a little flavor then it's one thing but this was covered up in them. Where was the bacon? Where was the spinach? Meh. Blech. Pass. I've added a photo. If you have a thing for sun-dried tomoatoes, reference this picture when you need a visual fix. read more

Very good breakfast just order before you go but customer service and food is very good.

I am flabbergasted that this place doesn't have 5 stars. Now I will preface this by saying I haven't been here in about 6 months. I moved from Dunwoody to Atlanta BUT this was my #1 breakfast spot for years. I'm a huge fan of the skillets. I've had the sausage and gravy it's amazing! They really load it up with all the good stuff. It's basically enough to feed 2 people. However if you're like me take it home pop it in the oven for 15 minutes, fry up a new egg, and it's as good as new. After I stopped eating pork I got hooked on the turkey and avocado skillet. Omg it's so good , I wish I still lived nearby. They do not skimp on the avocado like most places. Also it comes with a delicious biscuit and honey. I'm coming here for my birthday brunch in a few weeks with my 2 close friends. I like it here because it's always clean, pretty quite, and the service is always excellent. I've been here plenty and never had a bad experience I would highly recommend. read more

Had brunch at J Christopher's last month while in town visiting. It did not disappoint! Eggs Benedict is usually a go to for me, so I tried their pulled pork Benny and it was delicious! The service was very friendly, prices were decent and the wait time wasn't terrible for a Saturday. Would go back again if I was in the area! read more

J Christopher's is always good for breakfast and brunch. Although it is really exceptional food somehow the service always seems to be lacking. I don't know if this is because of the kitchen or the wait staff but I will say when I got my eggs benedict the potatoes were not hot they were lukewarm as if they had been sitting in the window for a really long time. We still go back because the food is so good. read more

Ok. J Christophers fan here. This is probably the fifth or so time that we have been to the Dunwoody location. Sunday 1pm ish. The tail end of the Sunday church crowd. I called ahead and we decided over Egg Harbour and Broken Egg Café because there was not much of a wait, only 10 minutes versus 30 to 40 elsewhere(a sign!)... I was a little surprised to see the low star rating for this location and this chain but I think I have an understanding now.. We walked in and were NOT greeted by the apathetic man spreading teenaged male host who was sitting near the greeting table that did not even bother to stand up as we approached. He confirmed that there was only a 10 minute wait and we sat down. I watched him sit and do nothing for the next five minutes until the manager walked over to chastise him and sent him to the back of the restaurant and watched him Saunter away clearly too bothered to give a damn about being at work today. I kept my eyes on him for the hour that we were there and he literally did nothing for that whole entire time other than chat with other employees and carry one syrup bottle back to the kitchen. So, onward and upward. We were seated by the manager greeted efficiently by our friendly waitress who took our order promptly and made some nice suggestions. My lovely wife ordered a skillet with eggs over medium and I ordered blueberry crunch cakes with a side of grits and sausages. I coffee came quickly and our server was attentive and polite. My wifes skillet came out with her over medium eggs drippy and runny so we sent them back which I never like to do and that was quickly resolved. My blueberry crunch cakes were rather amazing and tasty and a nice surprise. during my stay I observed the predominantly high school aged teenage staff kind of bumble around with only about a 50% efficiency rating. Some people clearly gave a damn and were trying while others like the aforementioned bubblehead literally did nothing. Whatever, $37 before tip later we left with our to go boxes as the day was winding down for the lunch crowd with a general feeling of disappointment and disillusionment. The skillet was unmentionable, my sides were just average and overall. With the competition that you have in the area and the prices on the menu I feel like I will not be very tempted to return any time soon. STEP IT UP j.c's! You have some SERIOUS competition nearby! read more

This is my "go-to" spot when in the mood for a nice sit down breakfast and do not feel like waiting 30-40 minutes at Egg Harbor. The food is consistently prepared well and the staff is very friendly. One of my favorite dishes is the turkey & avocado skillet. I order it 90% of the time and it is delicious. You can't go wrong with turkey, avocado, roasted potatoes, two sunny side up eggs chopped onions, tomatoes and peppers and a fresh baked biscuit. Usually on Sunday mornings there is a bit of a wait but you can bypass this if you are willing to sit at the counter. The only negative of this restaurant is the acoustics are horrible. It tends to get extremely loud with other patrons chatter sometimes making it difficult to have a conversation. read more

I have eaten at J. Christopher's a few times and the first time the waitress had a VERY bad attitude. Gave it a second and third time, decent and standard service. Went in for a takeout order during COVID-19. There were several orders lined up for takeout and I take one bag as it was pushed forward to me. I leave, go all the home and there's an entire meal and a couple of sides. I go back to the restaurant and ask them to remake the order since now I'm having to drive all the way back. I have a soggy waffle and pancakes and cold eggs at this point. They wouldn't remake it, because they say, "The order wasn't wrong." How about you make it CLEAR, that I have more than one bag. The onus should not be in the consumer to look at all the to go bags during a Pandemic. Tried supporting a small business during a Global Pandemic and can't even get good customer service. read more

Food was delicious. They even customized my omelette to my liking. The atmosphere was nice. My server Sophie was great! Even cracked a joke about English muffins which made brunch enjoyable. read more

Dined at J. Christopher's of Dunwoody for the first (and last) time today for brunch. We were seated relatively quickly, but it took a bit of time for a server to finally come by and acknowledge us. We watched tables around us get seated and get their food and leave, but we sat with empty water glasses, hungrily eyeing the kitchen window for our grub. Our server eventually came by and said sorry for the wait - our food was coming out next. Eyes on that window, plates came up but never came to us. Finally the manager came by to deliver our plates and apologize, but we were met with even more disappointment when we realized that she had gotten my fiancé's order wrong. We told her that we were extremely disappointed, and she explained that she would cover our bill for us to make up for the trouble. A kind gesture, but we already had a bad taste in our mouths. Speaking of which, the food was fine but not spectacular and definitely not worth the wait. I got a veggie omelet which didn't have much flavor to it. The biscuit was decent, and the iced coffee was pretty great. My fiancé finally got his chorizo scramble after they had mistakenly prepared a breakfast burrito for him. The verdict: perfectly acceptable. While we appreciate the staff attempting to make it right, we will not be returning for a mediocre meal with a side of slow service. read more

Oh how you disappointed me. I heard such great things about this place! But the one in Dunwoody is staffed with like 100 high schoolers. The waitress we had was really quiet...and seemed kinda scared to talk to her customers. Plus the food, oh the food make me feel nauseous after I finished eating. It didn't taste all that bad, but it definitely doesn't live up to the hype. read more

The food was immaculate, never been done before. Show stopping, brilliant. I took my girl out in a Saturday morning, she made a life long friend with out wonderful server Bella. They should really giver her a raise. Hope to see more of her in the future. read more

I ordered a sausage biscuit and gravy and it was the best I've ever had. The service was great also.

Wasn't a good day of service today. The waiter was slow, may have been his first day. Brought out drinks, no straws, brought out food, no silverware & to top it all off I had a Splenda sugar packet in my grits!! Im not saying don't go. It will be awhile before I come back. They did take care of the meal... read more

The food is of average quality at this clean and consistent restaurant. Service can be spotty, as it seems all the wait staff is 14 years old. If you get a waitress that is gabbing with a friend of hers at another booth, just realize you will never see her again and move on. This place serves up breakfast and lunch (open until 2pm) and gets quite busy on weekends. Even with a crowd, you can expect to be seated fairly promptly. You're not going to leave this place raving about how great the food was, but I've never had much of a complaint either. read more

I have been to this location 3 times. First time was great! Went with a large group and the service and food was excellent. Second time, the service and food was just ok. My third visit was this past Sunday and I was extremely disappointed but learned a very important lesson...I will not pay $7.99 for one piece of French toast again. (If only I had taken a picture like I normally do!) I asked our server if that was it and she said yes and asked me if I would like another piece. (Not for that price!) Just making patrons aware so you know what to expect. read more

Worst customer service ever. Party of 6, no one in front of us for 25 minutes, multiple 4-tops open and the manager refuses to put 2 tables together so that my 80-year-old father can be seated. When I asked why they couldn't put them together, she very rudely said "Because we can't". Won't be going back read more

I ended up coming here for Saturday brunch. I loved that there was no line especially for it being the holiday weekend. Our server, Sophie, was very sweet and accommodating to our group. As for the food, I was a bit disappointed. I got the San Bernardino which is pictured below. Just think it needed a bit more seasoning for my taste. Other than that, it was a pleasant experience out, nice home town atmosphere. read more

I know there have been several mixed reviews about this place, but I have to say, if you're looking for a good, solid breakfast early in the AM and in a hurry, this is the place to go. I've become a regular here, every Sunday morning meeting my best friend for breakfast/chat after she gets off work at 0700. I've tried just about everything on the menu and I can honestly say that I have yet to be disappointed. The feel of the place is like an old country restaurant I used to frequent back in Memphis, not like it's a chain (although it is). Staff is always friendly and attentive, and the food always comes out hotter than the hammered hinges of hell. I also like the concept that they bring a carafe of coffee to the table, and have HUGE coffee mugs. My main bitch about getting coffee somewhere is that it's either in a teeny little cup, or I have to flag someone down when I want a refill. The menu items are clearly stated, and can't get any simpler to understand, come on people, it's BREAKFAST!! My favorites: Billy Goat Omelet: Portabella, Roasted Red Peppers, and Goat Cheese. YUM! Pantry Feast: Pancakes, Eggs, Bacon/Sausage, Grits or Potatoes, your standard breakfast fare. Just Bubba: Name is amusing, but it happens to be my most favored. Biscuits with sausage gravy, cheesy scrambled eggs, and grits or potatoes. read more

We visited J. Christopher's for a second time. I was honestly disappointed in the food. We had an omelet and a BLT sandwich. The omelet was flavorless. The omelet was made as if they cooked the veggies first, put them on a plate and put a cooked egg on top. There was liquid underneath the veggies that saturated everything else on the plate. I doubt we go back there for breakfast. My hunt for a great breakfast is still on going, but once I find that place, I will let you know. read more

Attentive staff! The waits are long so snag a chair or two at the breakfast bar without delaying your hunger. read more

I wish I would have read the reviews before I ordered from here.. I expected more. A lot more. I ordered the shrimp and grits. Extremely disappointed, and the price was a slap in the face. The service was horrible and awkward.. it was as if no one knew what they were doing. The caramel apple latte is gross. The shrimp were nasty and the grits were runny... AND THERE WAS NO FLAVOR!!! even the sausage had no flavor.. won't be back.. had high hopes for this place.. smh read more

Brunch on a Sunday sometimes is hard to come by. If you go to Another Broken Egg which is a few miles away, you might wait an hour to get seated, J Christopher is usually the alternative chain that I go to when I'm not willing to wait. Going there, usually there's never much of a line, and by the reviews you might see why people avoid this place. It really is more like a slightly better IHop, the place looks like an IHOP inside, the noise, ambiance, and food quality are similar as well. When I go to J Christopher I usually get the Santa Fe omolette while my girlfriend gets the Benedict. The omolette and potato hash are filling, but nothing to write home about. It feels very pedestrian in general, I usually have to put hot sauce or ketchup to coax more flavor out of it. The biscuit in the Benedict is a bit hard, not as soft as you would like but the egg on top is cooked decently. If you had blindfolded me and asked me where the food came from, I wouldn't be able to tell, even though I've been there 3 or 4 times, which is an indication of the type of food there. Not memorable, but cheap enough to get some calories for your Sunday afternoon. read more

I would wait for the pandemic to pass to give it a chance (not coming back though). On a plus Side, if you are looking for a place that still follows carefully the Covid guidances this is a good place for you. There's enough distance between tables, no seating while waiting, and no salt, pepper or napkins, although, menus are still sticky gross plastic covered (let's hope they are sanitized). A short wait on a brunch place after 10:30 should be enough indication on how great your experience will be, specially when you are at 50% capacity. Our waiting time was 20 minutes which was great and the server was great at first but then forgot about us (she had 2 tables). We ordered a short stack of the blueberry crunch cakes and got basic blueberry pancakes with no granola. We saw the server once when we asked for the check but she was so busy trying to fix her mess up from the other one table she had, that she forgot about us. Took us like 15 minutes to pay and leave. And to top it all off food made us sick probably cause they lost power and didn't threw dangerous food away. read more

We like coming here for breakfast. The food and service is always good. My favorite thing to orders is the sausage and gravy skillet. read more

Will Rodgers never ate here! The noise in the place is unbearable. The coffee is hard to come by. Cheese grits are regular grits plus 8 shreds of cheese plus 30 cents. The wait staff has the personality of white bread toast. The good news is there're plenty of tables to be had Sunday AM. But they don't have the help to keep you from waiting for one. read more

Horrible experience. Six of us here for breakfast. One person in our party never got her food. When we were finished the brought her food and the eggs were barely cooked. The server went to get the manager. 15 minutes later he appeared. Never coming here again. Totally dissatisfied. read more

Very bad experience!! I will never come back here. I waited 15 minutes for my food after everyone else in my party was served theirs. My poached eggs were not cooked when my order arrived, the egg white was clear and runny. I won't even give this restaurant 1 star. read more

The food here is always good. However, since COVID I go to places with outdoor seating. This location has a large patio. I have been several times since reopening and the patio is always a mess. Tables aren't clean, trash along the side of the building, wait staff acts put upon to serve outside. Very disappointing. read more

Typical breakfast, brunch/lunch food. The food is okay quality, nothing really special about this restaurant. Service is okay, servers are relatively young and some of them I would say inexperienced. I had grilled ham steak served with a couple of scrambled eggs, a buttermilk biscuit and grits. Ham is a little bit too salty for me. Overall experience was not that bad, but nothing to be crazy of either. read more

I was expecting so much more after seeing the "Voted Best Breakfast" sign out front, but alas, it was a horrible experience. Though the restaurant wasn't crowded, we waited 15 minutes for a table. We waited 45 minutes for our food (we literally only ordered oatmeal, eggs, bacon, grits, and fruit... and after waiting 30 min, we were told they were all out of oatmeal, which probably means they didn't even look at our order for half an hour). When they finally brought the food, they didn't bring all of it- only 3 of us received our meals while the other person waited an additional 10 minutes. The food was bland and nothing special, and super expensive. Never again!! There are too many other good breakfast restaurants! read more

Well, there is definitely something wrong with this place. It's not even 1 star, it's suppose to be minus hundred! And I've just checked other reviews and I'm not surprised. I ordered hot tea to start and our server brought the pot with a broken and destroyed lid. And our waitress saw it before serving! And she still brought it to the table! Well, not a big deal tho but when I took the lid off I saw the pot was dirty from bottom to the top which was disgusting. It has not been washed in years I believe!!! No surprise I left without any food order placed. They just don't care about people's health! Just stay away! read more

First time here - food and presentation wasn't very good. Probably will not return unless every other restaurant has an hour wait for breakfast, which is what brought me here today. read more

Eh, it was okay, but nothing special. Seems a little expensive for a breakfast place. Yeah, this one is in a "trendy" strip mall (oxymoronic much?), but still. I got blueberry "crunchcakes" mostly because I was interested in the combination of granola + blueberry pancakes, but it was really just a light sprinkling of granola, so it was a big disappointment. The pancakes were the usual IHOP pancakes. I make better pancakes at home. Everyone else seemed pretty pleased with their meal decisions though, so maybe I'm an old crotchety curmudgeon. read more
