One star because it's 7:40 am (they open at 7am) and the store is closed. They employees are here sitting outside eating Chick fil a, waiting for someone to open the store. So no, not a good experience at all. read more

Was very excited to try this place and brought our pup knowing they had outdoor seating. We were turned away because they didn't want to wait on the outside tables. First for me. Definitely will not waste my time to give them a second chance. Hope the food is good because attitude and service is lacking. read more

1. Service attitude could have been better and had to ask for forks 2. food - don't get route 66 it was served cold and the potatoes were ok but the corned beef was crunchy and tasteless waffle house is better read more

Great place for breakfast if you want something basic. Not very original, but consistent. Had the turkey-bacon plate and a Belgian waffle. Staff was very friendly and kind. read more

While we prefer the other location in Marietta much more, the food here is still good and fresh. Very good breakfast menu, some lunch items. Food 3.5/5. Service 3/5. Friendly, but slow servers and clueless food runners. Negatives: service forgot us! Took 10 min to get check. Friendly and fast on order, but slow. The food runners and table cleaners are many, but one had no idea how to find a hot sauce and the other looked lost when I asked for check. Manager needs to train ALL service personnel to be customer-focused. Eggs were bland, but food seemed much healthier than a chain. - Fruit: when you only serve melons, grapes and Pineapple... that's a sign of laziness. No berries? Grapefruit juice seemed to be from a can. Specialize in breakfast? Fresh juice is part of the game. That said, we would return because it's a dependable breakfast spot. I just wish they tried harder. read more

The food is perfectly acceptable, but nothing special. The wait staff is above average and a pleasure. The price is unjustified for such simple breakfast fare making the sum of the experience disappointing. Although nothing was bad it's just too expensive for what you're getting and I doubt we'll ever be back. read more

My girlfriend and I tried this place for the first time. Being new to georgia we didn't know where to eat so we tried J Christopher's out. Honestly it was pretty good food at about average price. We both had the Just Bubbas'. Which is scrambled eggs with cheese, oven fried potatoes, and biscuits with sausage gravy. The portion was just right, as well as very tasty. Must add their orange juice is awesome!! Will return again after we've tried more places. read more

Great family restaurant with friendly staff and excellent food. If you are in the mood for breakfast/brunch fare for anyone and everyone, then look no further. From healthy choices, to chocolate chip pancakes, to cheese grits with bacon and jalapenos, they have it all. You'll only wish that you didn't have to choose. Only one problem we had was that the coffee cups were dirty, but when we pointed it out, they brought new ones right away. read more

J Christopher's - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Marietta, Georgia

See all

We were a party of 7 on Mother's Day and, as expected, there was a wait. The manager was so accommodating and put a table together for us. Our server Crazy Karen was amazing. She was so sweet and efficient. Our food came out quickly and everything was so tasty. read more

I stopped in around brunch time and sat at the bar (Monday) Several members of the staff walked past me, but did not acknowledge that I was there (I was one of the two at the bar). The manager was even behind the bar and did not say anything. I've been in the industry and realize that sometimes things are hectic- however if you are the manager you should not ignore guest, nor should you have a rude attitude towards your guest. I asked her for a pen, which she grabbed as if it was a huge inconvenience, and handed it to me..... With zero communication when I asked to borrow the pen or when she gave it to me, not even a smile. Verrrryyy rude. Thankfully Karen was taking care of me, and will be the ONLY reason I will eat at this location again. Karen was attentive to not only me and her other guest but to all the staff- Karen's attitude and awareness to the guest, staff, and the entire operation is quite impressive. Honestly , she treats that restaurant like it was her very own, and it's hard to find good people like that. That blond manager should take notes of how Karen engages with the guest and staff because as I said- if Karen had not come to save the day, I would not be back. If your management doesn't want to be there and can't at least pretend to want to be there..... You should find a new one. read more

Nice done brunch fare, but nothing too exotic. The pancakes seem to be a huge hit. Do have to second other observations about sketchy service -- last trip I asked for a glass of water no fewer than 4 times and never got it. read more

Service is mostly prompt and attentive and ambience is friendly. It winds up being about a $50 breakfast for four adults. My philosophy is that, at a restaurant, if you order a hot dish, when the dish arrives at the table, there should be visible steam you can see rising off the food. Or at least heat you can feel, just above the food. The last two times I have visited, I have had one or more items on my plate arrive cold or just warmed over to take the chill out when they reached me. Neither time was it crowded. I hate sending things back; it disrupts the enjoying your company when you are eating and they are not, or vice versa. I was here with Mr. D on a Thursday morning in late April (2014) and my hash browns (more like cottage fries) were cold. Restaurant was less than one-third full, so they weren't short-handed. I felt silly sending them back because I was only intending to eat a few anyway, so I didn't. It was a fluke, I assumed. (Wrong!) We were also here Mother's day morning this year with Misses G and L (early, around 8:30 a.m.--most customers had not shown up yet so dining room was less than 20% full) and every item in my two-egg traditional breakfast was cold. My toasted English muffin wasn't warm enough to melt the butter I had immediately spread over it. Of course, the second time wasn't a fluke, and when I got up and asked another waitress (by then our waiter was out of sight, where he mostly stayed) they cheerfully warmed my plate. When business is this slow, waitstaff should remain in sight of their sections, so if anything is needed, they can be told directly. His "follow-up drop by" happened not to take place until my warmed plate was coming back out. On the same Mother's Day, my sister-in-law (Miss L) asked for her tea water to be served "almost boiling," and she acknowledged that this was probably an unusual request. This took two tries, and was not as warm as she asked for but she chose not to ask for this a third time. This lack of attention to detail is is unacceptable at this price point. If management believes that people will come just because they are in a great location and serve just wonderful food--well, think again. The only way to screw up breakfast is to burn it or serve it cold. Reminded me of a crappy hotel breakfast where they don't care about optimal presentation because they know you won't be back, anyway. I like their convenient location and enjoy the atmosphere but I don't intend to return. read more

I hadn't been to J Christopher's in a while and a friend recommended it for brunch today. I had to wait a bit for my friend to arrive and they offered, several times, to either seat me or bring me something to drink. I politely declined, as I wanted to wait. When I saw my friend pull into the parking lot. two of the servers went to hold the doors for her. All that to say the service was efficient and friendly. I'm especially fond of the breakfast choices. Normally, I'll have pancakes but, this time, I had the crepes. I also like the sausage links are large and not the microwave, ready-to-eat type links I get at most places. The food and the service are great! read more

I really enjoyed eating at the J. Christopher's at Woodlawn Square. My servers name was Kasia , she was cheerful, speedy, and the food was GREAT! I will definitely be back for more of those Blueberry Crunchcakes read more

J Christopher's - My daughter loved everything so much she drew this picture! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Marietta, Georgia

Had breakfast with a friend and her young son Friday morning. My first visit to a J. Christopher's. The staff was friendly and very nice. I had a skillet with eggs, ham and avocado and a side order of grits. The fruit bowl was fresh and coffee was excellent. They provided a carafe for the table, which is always appreciated. My compliments to the entire staff and thanks for a wonderful breakfast. read more

I loved it so much i filled the comment card out in crayon. The server even drew a stick figure picture of a couple in love. It was so cute. I still keep it in my wallet. They probably think I'm crazy. Oh yea. The Pot belly Benny is SUPER DELICIOUS! It's a battle in my mind over that or strawberry Belgian waffles with warm maple syrup. Why can't I have 4 stomachs and still be pretty? read more

The staff was very friendly they all were Bright and cheerful! The food was wonderful we had the sausage and gravy skillet, turkey avocado skillet, blueberry crunch pancakes, and a waffle with fresh strawberries. All of it was fantastic! The place is clean and decorated nicely. The only downfall is that it is a little noisy. I would highly recommend this place and will definitely be back when in the area again. read more

So J Christopher's has a new menu and is sold well by the staff. I ordered the avocado toast. Sounds delicious right! II don't eat tomato so I switched the tomato for spinach. Not a problem at all. The breakfast came out- it's a large piece of toast with the avocado, spinach and 1 - yes 1 egg. Isn't think a breakfast restaurant and you can only give 1 egg. It www pitiful- dry and sub-par. Don't waste your money! read more

Not impressed by the food. I ordered the eggs Benedict, which is a staple of every breakfast restaurant. But J. Christopher's messed it up. They served me the eggs sunny side up instead of poached like they're supposed to be. And I could barely see any hollandaise sauce. When I told the waiter who looks about 15 years old, he argued with me and told me that it was right. Also, the potatoes that came with it were puny, plain and un impressive. I won't be coming back here. read more

Meh... That about says it all. The breakfast potatoes are dry and for the price of the food paired with the taste, I feel like I can make the same meal at home at a much cheaper price point. That being said, this is a safe bet when I'm feeling lazy and want a consistent meal that's delivered with friendly service in a clean environment. I enjoy eating here when friends suggest it but it's not some place that I will go out of my way to go to eat. read more

Good for those with Celiac. The only breakfast place my wife can consistently eat at without getting sick. Just make sure you tell them your needs. read more

I came in a little before closing time on a weekday just to get some eggs and bacon real quick. Waitress was very friendly and I tried to be as accommodating as possible since I came in about a half hour before closing. Unfortunately, the manager was making his rounds with the employees and seemed like a very overbearing and condescending boss. He should really treat his employees better, at least in front of customers. Your attitude is not impressing anyone! read more

Disappointed with the quantity and quality of the food. Our whole table said they would prefer Waffle House. The staff was great. The food was not. read more

As always I love the food here. The service is always friendly and attentive. In the past the only problem I've had here is the volume. It was unbearably loud. Now they've remodeled and damped the sound! So happy they addressed that problem! Now bring on the BACON! read more

J. Christopher's really seems to have let itself go, in the general sense. There was nothing noteworthy to highlight, and your money could better be spent elsewhere. My husband ordered French toast. French toast that was listed at around $7.50. You can only imagine how taken back we were when the waiter delivered one lonely slice of bread down. It was not a market place or specialty bread, but rather more the looks of the buy one get one free loaf at the store. When I asked the waiter if the French toast generally comes with one slice of toast, he ashamedly answered in the affirmative. The only good part of the experience was the friendly waiter. I would reccomend you dine at another establishment. read more

J Christopher's - That is the French toast.... the whole order. Just ONE lonely slice. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Marietta, Georgia

Not THE best breakfast place in Atlanta, but certainly good enough if you're looking for decent food and good service in a neat/clean atmosphere. I usually get one of the skillets with toast and cup of coffee. The omelets aren't bad either. read more

Consistently cheerful and competent service. Solid, yummy food. My over medium eggs were a bit too over easy, that was my only complaint.

I enjoy breakfast at J. Christopher's during the week and the place is busy. I have not gone on the weekend because I can only imagine it would be insane. read more

We hold a weekly networking meeting with 20-25 people - the servers work pretty hard to take orders and distribute the food while we're all yakking away, and they usually get it right. While J. Christopher's has lots of traditional items on the menu (pancakes, corned-beef hash, biscuits and gravy), they also have a good selection of interesting heart-healthy breakfasts which are perfectly prepared. read more

if you believe anyone who gives this place 4 or 5 stars, either they're ignorant of good food or possess some other unfathomable reason,,, mickey d's has comparable food quality (albeit not the expanded selection) + you don't have to get out of your car. then again, most know what to expect when they walk in the door. read more

I've been here dozens of times and never disappointed. Omelette are great Pumpkin Pancakes + lattes are heavenly :) Service so/so.

Super Delicious Food! How do they make their pancakes taste so good? It will always be a mystery to me. The restaurant is bright and inviting while the service is excellent and friendly. Sometimes one of the owners (Jay) is even there and stops by our table to say HI! read more

I've been to other locations of J. Christopher's before and had a much better dining experience than I had here. The restaurant was busy and well staffed, and yet the service was slow. For breakfast foods, that's really inexcusable. It doesn't take that long to toast bread or plate hash browns, especially when they're clearly not fresh. I was disappointed in the lack of freshness all around...my mother ordered "fresh squeezed" grapefruit juice and received a bright pink liquid. Clearly a ccoktail. Compared to a spot like West Egg or Flying Biscuit in the city, this was a disappointment. read more

I ordered the Waldorf Salad today. Lettuce was brown and wilted. But the strangest thing was the goat cheese. It looked like toothpaste and had been squirted on the sides of the bowl, like toothpaste. The chicken salad and cranberries were fine, but overall a disappointment. read more

Used to love the food here. After visiting three times in the last six months I have been disappointed. The meals were small for the price and the childrens menu was extremely limited (various cheese and bread items) and very expensive. I can't think of another restaurant that charges so much for a child's meal. In an area like East Cobb, family friendly is super important. read more

From walking in the door at 10a the host(ess) was not at her post and I along other customers stood waiting for her return. They were NOT busy. My waiter was very friendly and quick to the table. I ordered and my plate was on the table in two minutes. There is the problem. Food was ALL precooked. Eggs were dry. Potatoes were dry. Biscuit was hard. Bacon was clearly cooked hours before. It was like eating in a hotel lobby buffet as far as food quality. Looking forward to Egg Harbor's arrival. read more

Love this location. Great service and portions are awesome. Excellent Juice and Coffee too. Love their menu and all it has to offer.

While service was solid and the establishment was very clean, the food was mediocre and nothing to write home about. My husband had the pancake crunch dish with cheese eggs, bacon and grits. I had cheese eggs, breakfast potatoes and bacon. Based off what we ordered, if you're a foodie this is not the place for you. For example, the grits were straight out of the can with water added for the boil; that's it folks. This establishment is on par with (or really slightly worse than) IHOP. read more

Exceptional and light omelettes. Not greasy like many places. The potatoes are light and also devoid of grease that many breakfast places have. They even offer gluten free toast as a side. The service is top notch. We recently moved to the area and will be back for brunch again very soon. read more

Just had the best brunch ever! This was my second time here but at this location today! Staff were all friendly and hard working! I will come back again! P.S. I love the strawberry waffles! read more
