    Christo's never disappoints. It is definitely my favorite "go to" place for lunch. I have been going to Christo's for decades and never tire of returning.

    Christo's is awesome. We have been dining there for over 20 years now. It is a nice sit-down restaurant. The staff is "old-school" and very traditional on service etiquette. We love to dine there for all our special occasions and holidays. FOOD IS AMAZING! THANK YOU, CHRISTO'S
