There is nothing special bout this place. The service was fine, but the food was basic and subpar. The atmosphere felt cheap and dirty. My meal came with a little of the last persons meal burned onto the plate. With the open room floor plan it sounded like loudest high school cafeteria you can imagine. I will never return. read more

The food here is absolutely amazing. She skillet dishes are delicious. The coffee is also great, and the waitresses are very very nice.

J. Christopher's is a wonderful place in Cool Springs to grab breakfast or lunch. Open Daily till 2:00 Pm. The prices are fair and the service is timely. I am a fan of the lox and bagels as well as the Eggs Benedict. My wife gets the breakfast with eggs, bacon, potatoes and pancakes. They have a specialty call Blueberry Crunch-cakes. Wonderful. You will enjoy the experience. read more

By far the best breakfast place in town!!!!! My family eats here every weekend. The host and waiting staff are so cheerful and great at their jobs. Great family ambiance. The food is delicious. We get the Pantry Feast with the blueberry crunch cakes. So amazing!!!! My boys love the chocolate chip pancakes. We all leave very full with big happy smiles on our faces. Go and enjoy and you will become a regular tooz, read more

Find brunch elsewhere. I would not come here again. 30 dollars for 2 omelettes, coffee and tea. Potatoes were not edible. Omelettes were average. I was charged for salsa which is unacceptable. read more

Went for breakfast a few days ago with my daughter. It was so bad they couldn't even charge us. Food was terrible and the service was even worse. It's expensive ($1.75 for maple syrup. It's free at Cracker Barrel). Stay away..... read more

Pleasant staff made the visit tolerable. Way over priced for the amount and the quality. Visited for breakfast with two eggs, grits an English muffin and asked for bacon...two slices for over 3.00!! Seriously 1.70 for ONE strip of bacon, please! Eggs sunny side up does not mean cooking the yolk into a hard ball. There are numerous breakfast spots in town that are cheaper, better and fresher... sadly don't waste your time, or money. read more

Great breakfast experience the food is great especially the grits and bacon never had anything like it before in breakfast restaurant because the bacon was actually crispy. Never had to wait and the service is really good, for some reason most of the waiters are from the Chicago north shore area. read more

We were visiting from out out town and I wish I had read the reviews before going here. The food was great and I would return for it but the service was poor. Not only slow but the waitress was impatient and unfriendly. Might have been better if we hadn't had children. So allow yourself a little more time, don't expect all smiles and enjoy the food. read more

There isn't anything terrible about J Christopher's. But there also isn't anything great. Pretty standard breakfast/brunch menu, light on the lunch options. We both had omelets. BF got extra ingredients in his, which seemed to make a big difference. But on mine (Billy Goat: goat cheese, portobello mushrooms, sun dried tomatoes and spinach), they were super stingy with the fillings. It was more like a thin egg pancake folded over on itself with a taste of one of the other ingredients every 3 or 4 bites. And given that it cost more than $9, which is pricey for an omelet, I was not satisfied. Also, my potatoes were cold, which was just disappointing. read more

Great place! My husband and I wanted a late brunch and so we found this place and walked in close to closing time- but they graciously seated us anyways. We had a skillet and a benedict, both were quite good. Not the best hollandaise sauce I've had, but a solid win on the eggs and bacon. The skillet was pretty good- the potatoes were well cooked as were the eggs and bacon. But there was a little too much peppers and onions in there, and a little too raw. Couldn't finish all of it. I did enjoy the fresh squeezed OJ. The service was great and it felt like a nice homey place. I also enjoyed the art on the walls. I'd definitely come here again! read more

first, let me say, do not think that this 3-star rating is a bad thing. service was incredible and the food was good... on new years eve i developed a strong craving for eggs benedict...mainly hollandaise sauce-i could drink that stuff! anyhow, i informed my husband that we were going to find an awesome brunch place for the next morning. and using the nifty yelp site and search feature, j. christopher's came up for brunch. we ventured out around 10 new years day, and arrived to find the parking lot full, i guess everyone else developed cravings for hollandaise sauce and corned beef with potatoes. we ended up only waiting 20 minutes, not that bad, we pfft'd! at the people who came in, heard it was a 20 minute wait, and left (go on down the road to mc d's for breakfast then...). i thought i knew what i wanted: eggs benedict, but after looking at the menu, i was torn: do i order the eggs benedict, or do i order the route 66 skillet (corned beef, potatoes, and a sunny side up egg). oh, the first world problems of it all, i couldn't decide! luckily, my husband is pretty spectacular, so he ordered the route 66 and i ordered my eggs benedict (and he'd share with me). the serving size of the main dishes was pretty decent, and my eggs were poached perfectly--i love to see the liquid gold run all over my plate when i first cut into them! i did think the canadian bacon was a little over cooked and dry and tough. i also ordered a side of bacon (i always order sides of bacon...mmmmm, meat candy), and for 3.00, you'd think you'd get a plate full....nope, 3 slices, if my math is right, that's $1 a slice....were these royal pigs? my husband's corned beef skillet thing was pretty good, maybe i'll get that next time with a cup of hollandaise sauce to slather over it. the service was super friendly an quick, no errors in our meal, but it just wasn't incredible. we'd go back, but it wasn't the "happy, happy, joy, joy experience i dreamt about the night before. but do still go. don't be a 3-star snob (like i am most the time). read more

Had breakfast with my wife after New Years, and we were not disappointed. I had the corned beef hash skillet and it was excellent. Tasted like their was actually corned beef and not some canned product. Service was good veg though the place was jammed. Wife and I will return! read more

On our way out of Nashville my wife introduced me to J Christopher's. J Christopher's is a breakfast, brunch, and lunch joint nestled on the backside of a shopping complex. We greeted by a friendly, if not slightly chatty, host and sat immediately. I ordered the Bubba skillet which had biscuits, gravy, eggs, and potatoes, it was delicious. Not that it matters but I did notice that all the staff, at least the ones we saw, we're all under the age of 30. Felt like a hipster. read more

Went here for breakfast. Solid place. There was a little bit of a wait but they were getting people in and out pretty quickly. I got a parfait for breakfast and it was pretty food. Wife got the goddess omelet and she liked it. Our server was super friendly. Prices were fair and the portions were big. Will come back. read more

We went to J. Christopher's on Presidents Day morning with the kids. We were quickly seated at around 9am on this Monday holiday. Staff was very courteous and attentive. The kids both had pancakes and Hot Choco. Wife had the Traditional and I had the Goddess. All was served quickly and hot. A decent cup of brewed coffee. Prices were a little more than I woudl typically want to spend on breakfast, but the food was worth it. read more

Great blueberry crunch pancakes and turkey sausage! The eggs were not so great. I requested soft but got hard and a tad brown. I'd give it another shot. IMO, a breakfast spot can't get a 5 star rating until they can master eggs requested soft but not runny. read more

1.78, forget this place, small orange juice. I got 1 cheese omelet, 1 piece if toast and small oj with no meat and bill was 10.85 wow I was not expecting cheap but damn that is crazy ! Food was average also in morning impossible to have meeting, way way to loud ! read more

Glad to have another option for breakfast in Nashville and Franklin TN areas. Got the Eggs Christopher. Tasted good as advertised with crispy bacon and smoked turkey instead of Canadian bacon. I'll surely come back. read more

This is one of the locations that our family chooses for our Saturday morning breakfast. Most everyone got their usuals - french toast, crepes, etc. All of the food was wonderful. The service was a little slow, particularly with the drinks. It might have just been an off-morning for our server. We will be back. :D read more

Very disappointed! Food was absolutely nothing special. I had the Cajun scramble with potatoes and shared an order of blueberry pancakes. Nothing was seasoned, not even the frozen homefries. The veggies in the scramble were crunchy and tasted raw. The blueberry pancakes were ok but nothing to come back for. Service was good but also nothing to come back for. read more

Decent food and service. Just not amazing. For the price I probably wouldn't come back.

If you like First Watch you will like this place. It is a little brunch place tucked away, but it is good. We waited maybe 5 minutes for a table and sat down, waited maybe like 10 to 15 minutes for our food after we ordered. It's good food and not too terribly expensive. read more

Just took my mom and 4 sons to the Franklin J.C. for a post holiday breakfast. Restaurant was almost empty at peak holiday brunch time. Not a good sign. After several minutes and brief eye contact with several staff members, one finally grabbed 6 menus and motioned us to follow her to a table. Once seated we were ignored for 10 minutes. No waters, no coffee, nothing. Finally I got up and went to the manager-looking person and asked if we could get coffees. He was shocked that we hadn't been served yet. He hastily came up and took our order but appeared confused the whole time and eager to question each person's choice, saying "are you sure?" Once we finally got our food it's as if the kitchen had it out for us. Every meal was just terrible. And the service continued to match the food. French toast with no syrup, an egg scramble with completely raw uncooked bits of spinach thrown in instead of sautéed, burnt raisin toast with no butter, oatmeal with a thick skin over it and no milk. My mom asked when her scrambled egg would arrive and again the waiter was confused, apologized, and came back with a cold egg on a plate, saying it was back there on the counter the whole time and he just didn't see it. My mom wanted to treat her grandson's to a nice breakfast and when she got the bill I just assumed we would have a discount from the long wait and poor food and service. But not so. I didn't feel like demanding anything as I just wanted it to be a pleasant outing for everyone. I do hate leaving negative reviews but the public needs to know. We will not return or recommend unfortunately. As a sole owner of a multi-million dollar corporation, I can say for certain, this is how small businesses eventually fail. It's only a matter of time for this one. Responsibility always falls on the owner. read more

Amazing breakfast spot. Best grits hands down. Don't hesitate. Conner, our server, was spot on.

This is my favorite breakfast place in town. My kids love it too. They can't get enough of the chocolate chip pancakes. I love the omelette. The staff are so friendly. They remember you and make you feel at home. It really makes my Saturday or Sunday morning start in a wonderful way. I highly recommend it. read more

Friendly staff and great customer service. The manager was very personable and offered helpful suggestions. Alberto was our server and he was friendly and attentive. J. Christopher's menu offers a wide variety that should please most diners. I ordered the Chicken Cobb salad and it was delicious. My friends also enjoyed their selections. I will definitely return with my husband as well as with my friends. read more

Every time I come, this place surpasses my expectations. The coffee is great. Smoked cheddar grits are a must. And they always have perfect poached eggs. This is a hidden gem and perfect place for breakfast. Service is great. Good is fast. Place is clean. Why go anywhere else? read more

Clean with professional service from the menu smart servers to the preparation from the cooks. The varied menu choices are fantastic and taste great too read more

Good food, fast service, will eat here again. Customer service from server and management was prompt ensuring meal came out ok. Very good experience read more

Great spinach and bacon omelet excellent waffle, the food was well prepared and tasty. If I had to write a complaint it would only be that the potatos could have been a little more done but considering it was after church and very busy they did a great job. read more

Pleasant, clean with good service. Good selection of teas. Sausage was better than expected. Good classic American breakfast. read more

J. Christopher's - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Franklin, Tennessee

This restaurant mainly serves breakfast limited lunch menu. Went there today very disappointed didn't receive what I ordered. Told the waitress her response was to laugh and say "yeah". Quality of food was nothing special. Recommend if you are looking for a good breakfast go somewhere else. I found this restaurant not worth the effort to go there. read more

BEWARE! Manager does NOT want any customers if you are by yourself. He prefers large parties only. Sad - it was peak breakfast time this morning and there were less then 10 customers. Thought I should share his comments so you don't waste your time going there, unless of course you are bringing your entire office staff! read more

Disappointing. Again. Service. Food quality. Was it raining between the kitchen and my table? My eggs Benedict was sitting in standing water. As popular as the place is I expect a service matched with brick tops and food quality of an Asheville breakfast. Green Hills you can have em. Asheville send me a quality breakfast to cool springs. read more

Amazing food! I love love love the corn beef hash and the waffles! Waldorf chicken salad is uuuhhhmazing to too! Ask for Malory! You'll wait on the weekends but that's a good sign to me! read more

Great food and service. Especially love the Blueberry Crunchcakes!!!

On our way back from the Rock n Roll Marathon in Nashville - my running mates and I were scrambling to find a place before the Sunday crowds hit. The hangry was taking control- and only brunch would suffice; so we turned to Yelp for help. J. Christopher's was the gem we were looking for! Quick and friendly service. Coffee never ran out. And the menu offered fare not always found in the fast food chains, yet was easy to order. Being a vegetarian- I'm usually odd gal out with my carnivorous running group- J. Christopher's certainly had something for everyone (I had a hard time deciding WHICH dish I wanted!! - not vegan, mind you- but easily adaptable if you are). read more
