Christe's Restaurant

Another day of medical appointments brought us in the vicinity of Christie's Restaurant during the lunch hour today. We were seated without hesitation, but soon every table and booth would be full, and there would be standing-room-only around the hostess station. We're "regulars" so we were able to give our orders immediately when Mary came to our table. My guy started with a cup of beef soup with Italian pasta, a real delight. Liver and onions doesn't appeal to me, but my dining companion orders it when it's available, and at Christie's it's always on the menu. It came with mashed potatoes and gravy, a side of broccoli and a pile of sautéed onions smothered the meat. He relished every bite and cheerfully joined the Clean Plate Club. I enjoyed a Roast Beef on a lightly grilled, super fresh-baked Kimmelweck roll, covered in caraway seed and crunchy salt. The beef was savory, tender and stacked high, with a side of pungent horseradish. The French fries were hot, crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Just perfect! We ordered the Diana's Chopped Salad to go, a treat to be savored with tonight's supper at home. This is our favorite salad, overflowing with chopped romaine, slivered almonds, diced red onion, crumbled blue cheese, mandarin orange segments, craisins, grilled chicken strips, with a generous portion of Riveria dressing. Two crisps of cinnamon sugared fried pita crisps top off this "dessert salad. Diners around us were ordering off the impressive breakfast menu. Lots of happy customers here today.

I went in there after my procedure that I had done and I was very disappointed. Ask for a booth so I would be ok sitting just in case I fell off the chair from being put under. We were met with attitude from the host cause she had to wipe a booth down. Place looked like a bomb went off almost every table was dirty. Again not a great first impression! Waitress came over took our drink and food order and asked me if I wanted my corn beef hash crispy I said yes my partner ordered crispy bacon too. When we got our plates the corn beef hash was Luke warm and there was no crispy to it and the bacon was soggy. I showed the waitress and she took my plate when it came back it was burnt tasted burnt and so did the potatoes were very burnt. The cooks there need a cooking lesson to tell crispy from burnt. I would not recommend this place even if you paid for my meal. No thanks there are plenty other breakfast places around that treat people nice and cook the food the way it gets ordered and not burn the food in spite from a order being sent back.

Great restaurant and the staff were so kind. It was a very busy Saturday, yet we were seated in only 10 minutes. We all enjoyed our meals, with the "home fries with the works" being a highlight. The works included gravy, cheese, green peppers, and onions. There was sooooo much flavor!!! My gluten and nut free child had steak and eggs without any issue. As he recently lost his egg allergy, we wanted to splurge on the steak and eggs but at $12.99, it was beyond reasonable. We loved it all!!

First time there. Was busy but a well oiled machine. Tables were available when they said they would be. Food ( breakfast) was GREAT and very reasonably priced for the $$. Server (Mary Beth) was fantastic and sincere - actually seemed to enjoy her job. Not seen often nowadays. Host (a young man)even said good bye by name remembered from checked in .WILL be back
