great food, service is a tad shaky

by elizabeth199

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 if we spoke to the manger he would, at least, be apologetic. He wasn't. He wasn't even nice, no offer of a $5 gift certificate, free drink... nothing. It was like we were bothering him and it was our problem. That said, the food is good enough and service is generally good enough to make it worth being regulars. Good for vegetarians, but plenty for meat eaters too.

• Pros: food
• Cons: responsiveness to mistakes, sometimes shaky service

Great Pub

by pubsquatch

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.

• Pros: Burgers, Beer Selection, Service, Location
• Cons: second floor is obviously overflow seating. rare that I have had to sit upstairs though

Burgers to Die For!

by kseaman

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 visit over and over again!
