I used to work at Chris's Family Restaurant and can say that whatever server you had on that particular occasion was probably just a bad employee/having a bad day. The owners at Chris's are by far the nicest people I've ever worked for. Some of the fairest, kindest bosses around... And as far as the food is concerned, I would... More

Food and prices are great but waitstaff has little personality, certainly not sparkling. Granted my companion was kind of a "Five Easy Pieces" kind of a guy. The place has decent food and prices but they are not a bunch of happy campers like their competitor down the road. Find out who is pissing off the waitstaff and fire them.... More

I'm just kicking myself for not looking at the reviews. I was a hungry truck driver who eat a Chris'. I would not recommend at all. The meals are high priced. The food really did not have much flavor to it. I had the cajun shrimp and chicken. The shrimp was overbooked and the chicken was dry. The rice had... More

My husband and I had breakfast at Chris's Sunday morning. Our waitress was not impressive, and I did not appreciate being guilted regarding the amount of tip I should be leaving. The food was tasty and plentiful, coffee was good, but the atmosphere was less than appropiate for a Sunday morning, given the screaming we were subjected to, everytime the... More
