Good beer list, OK food and Terrible service – Christopher's is one of those places that due to it's location does not put a whole lot into service. I have been there maybe ten times and have slmost always had poor service. The bartenders are particularly bad, with such a small bar area you would think that three bartenders could keep up - not at Christopher's. The wait staff is nothing short of atrocious, you are lookling at a fifteen minute wait time for drinks here. The hostess is also not helping the scene here - not a p... read more
don't waste your time – I have to stop with the expectations. Whenever I have high hopes for a place (see: O'Sullivans or UBurger to start) I'm severely disappointed. I read "best of" lists or read a great review on Yelp or plain old word of mouth that gets me excited for a burger, but 9 times out of ten it's just not very good. Christopher's has all the accolades, in fact, Food Network recently claimed it to be the best burger in Massachusetts. But it's painstakingly average, it's a pub burger and no more. I love the locati... read more
great food, service is a tad shaky – We go here all the time. It is one of our favorites. We like the food and there is something to please everyone. Beer selection excellent. The only challenge of the place is that there are a few rather incompetent servers and when they do make a mistake or, for instance, like when our food took 45 minutes to come out, they are not understanding or apologetic. We eat here a lot and once had HORRIBLE service and food that took FOREVER and assumed because we are regular, good customers that ... read more
With its fireplace and varied menu, Porter Square's top spot for affordable pub grub attracts plenty of young professionals. – The Scene While Christopher's exposed brick walls and crackling fireplace provide a most welcoming environment, it's the restaurant's lengthy menu of inexpensive comfort food that makes regulars out of area students and young professionals. When not glued to the bar's numerous TVs, libation lovers select from one of Cambridge's most impressive drink menus (try the sinful chocolate cake martini). Frie... read more
Burgers to Die For! – Christopher's has the best burgers around!! The toppings are incredibly fresh (even the avocado which is hard to get this time of year) and the flavor of the burger doesn't seem to be masked by the grill. The atmosphere downstairs is much better than upstairs given the bar and sophisticated fireplace seating. 1/2 of the tables upstairs overlook Mass Ave and Porter Square giving people something to look at, but there seemed to be a draft upstairs that I couldn't help notice. Regardless, a place I'll visi... read more
Great Pub – A great pub atmosphere is defined by a wide selection of beers, good comfort food (burgers are awesome here), a jovial crowd, and talkative interested bartenders and servers. Christopher?s has it all! I have been going here for years and have never had a bad experience.
Awsome food – This is one of my favorite restaurants in Cambridge. I am a strict vegetarian so it?s hard for me to go out to eat, but Christopher's is one of the best places for me. Christopher?s is my favorite place to bring non-vegetarians because there?s plenty of options or both carnivores and herbivores. The home made veggie burger is by far the best I have ever had. My other favorite is the buffalo tofu, which is very unique. Also all the cheese is made with non-animal based rennet so I can get the nachos witch are als... read more
GREAT SERVICE-SPECIALTY BEERS – I have been enjoying Christopher's Restaurant for the past 5 years. My girlfriend and I swear by this fantastic restaurant. The service is second to none and the prices more than reasonable. The Tex-mex and daily specials are always a favorite. The draft beer selection is incredible. The bartenders knowledge of the changing beer is very educational and appreciated. I would rate Christopher's A 10 but have to take a point away for the sometimes hard-to-get parking. They just started running a B... read more
Watch your drink – I used to go to Christopher's on a regular basis because of its extensive beer selection and decent bar menu. I went to brunch a couple months ago and had a pretty unappetizing experience. We had 2 glasses of water with food objects floating in them, dirty silverware, and our eggs tasted like lighter fluid. I was really disappointed and when we complained we didn't even receive an apology, so we haven't gone since. It is unfortunate because I really enjoyed having a decent place to go so close to home.
