As one satisfied customer noted, some meals "looked like half the cow on the plate!"

“ Staying the night in Blairmore so decided to try Chris’ out for dinner. Our server was Desiree(hopefully I spelled it right). She had 10 tables going at once and was still very efficient. We ordered our food just shortly after we got there but waited at least 30 minutes for our meal. My husband ordered the Roast beef dinner with salad. It looked like he got half the cow on his plate. I ordered the bacon burger with fries and gravy. The burger was homemade and it had at least 8 pieces of bacon, too much for me. The meal was absolutely delicious but way too much. ”
“ Chris is gonna have to get a 5/5 because it has everything you need in a classic diner. Busy so you might wanna call to book a reso and ensure a spot. I had fries and gravy w the burger w ham on it (I forget the name) prices? Great, portion size? Great go see for yourself! ”
“ I absolutely love this restaurant and have made it a tradition to stop in every year when we pass through on our summer road trip. The food is delicious, the prices are incredible and the friendliness and service is outstanding. I'd eat here daily if I lived nearby. They were even kind enough to accommodate us close to closing. It's got such a great small town feel, the real deal, the way it used to be. Coffee served in proper brown mugs. Thank you so much and can't wait to return! ”

“ We've been going to Chris' Restaurant for over ten years now and plan to for many more. It's our favourite breakfast place anywhere. In fact, I brought my family here for brunch the morning after our wedding. The last time we went they made me my favourite: French toast. I tried one of their milkshakes for the first time and I can't believe I was missing out all these years. It was the best ever! The atmosphere is casual and friendly and is an authentic old style diner. I highly recommend but don't take your time on Sunday morning or you might have to get a spot at the diner bar. The locals know this is the place to go. ”
