Going to a local diner can be hit or miss. Chris's is a HIT! Super friendly and efficient staff. Food is fresh, tasty and service is fast. Fully support local small businesses - support Chris's!

Stopped in on a Sunday morning around 11a. You’ll come here for a homemade meal that’s tasty enough. Depending on the day and time you arrive it’ll be steadily busy. Breakfast is served until 2p! Our breakfast was warm and delicious when it made it to our table. Our waitress is cordial and checked on us when possible. This establishment has a loyal local fan base and this place delivers in satisfying your hunger.

At traditional mom and Pop restaurant. Lots of older locals dine here. I’ve been coming here for years. I love the friendly service, I love the prices, I love the food. Most of getting to speak too many of the older locals is just a wonderful experience.

I work right up the street and have never tried this place. Decided to stop in one day for lunch and I was immediately in love. The atmosphere was cozy and the wait staff was very kind. I ordered a bacon cheeseburger and fries, was to die for, I will be returning.

We were on vacation in Ohio, and this was the only morning we ate out for breakfast. It was terrific food and service! My husband's brother took us here once, and we remembered it well! We will make sure we always stop on when we are in town! Thanks!

The perch dinner was very good and hot. It was the best that I had in a long time. Brenda the waitress was very friendly and was the best I had in a long time also. I definitely will go back there again very soon.

First time here and we will definitely come back! Our server, Laura, took such great care of us and our meals were wonderful. We love the mom and pop family feel! Thank you for giving quality meals at a reasonable price.
