Really great bar, amazing food and service, and Lance, behind the bar, makes a fantastic irish coffee. My family celebrated my dad's 70th birthday here with a huge banquet for 50 people, and everything was perfect. UPDATE: we held my father's celebration of life party here, and the team at Christopher's did an incredible job, a massive endless buffet of eggplant Parmesan, ziti with meat sauce, shrimp cocktail, salads, and so much more. They were easy to work with, and helped give my dad the perfect send off.

Love this place! Great food, great beer, that’s all ya need! Their buffalo mac & cheese is the best I’ve ever had. Lance is an absolute gem of a bartender.

They have the best wings! It's an older crowd not the college crew which is kinda nice. Home town bar to go out, get some food, have some drinks and watch the game! * Tip* use parking lot on side of building. During the day it's crazy busy and next to impossible to leave if parked in front.

People are very friendly I really appreciate all the help that we received. It was a pleasure and a better opportunity to celebrate a birthday party with you thank you for the opportunity to be to have it there. Kudo's to all the wonderful staff awesome and outstanding work. Made everyone feel like family.

Great chill dive bar with amazing food. We had the hot wings, mac and cheese bite, buffalo mac , and pulled pork sandwhich all of it was amazing !! Will deffinalty be back!
