J. Christopher’s - Smyrna

Food was great and there was no wait on a Sunday morning.... compared to Another Broken Egg(and others), they are so much faster.

Well, J Christopher's has always been a favorite breakfast restaurant. I've patronized two locations (Midtown and Smyrna) over the past seven years. You will not be disappointed, in my opinion!

Excellent food quality and service. Prices are OK and the time for your food tl be ready is superb. However, I'm using a 4 star review because the coffee was watered and something not as expected. Still, I'll return anytime!

I’ve driven past J. Christopher’s — Smyrna countless times, but I had no idea what type of food was served. After viewing a suggested Local Guide profile, I decided to try it this morning prior to heading to work (it’s only 6 minutes away! . Upon entering the restaurant, I received two warm greetings and immediate assistance. I knew what I wanted, as I had already thoroughly read the menu in the car. I ordered the San Bernardino omelette, which consists of chicken, avocado, pico de gallo, and cheddar and Jack cheeses. There were birthday decorations all over the store, so I inquired about them. The hostess informed me that it was J. Christopher’s birthday and that they were offering $5 pancakes (2 or a $5 waffle. They were MUCH bigger than I expected! Pictured is an order of chocolate chip pancakes. I was only able to eat one because 1 again, they were larger than I imagined, 2 the thickness resulted in the syrup being absorbed rather quickly, and 3 they were a little dry anyway. I also asked for a slice of cake lol. I arrived to work early — work bag, car and store keys, hot breakfast, and last night’s leftovers in tow — eager to get into this meal. The first thing I tried was the bowl of grits. If you prefer this southern breakfast staple to have a thicker consistency, these are NOT the grits for you! I left the top off of the bowl and they thickened a little and they we’re actually still warm, but I passed on them. On the other hand, the omelette and biscuit were EVERYTHING. I ate that particular plate in less than 5 minutes. However, I will say that I think most people would prefer more seasoning — the flavors would have been more emphasized. At any rate, it was delicious. The biscuit was warm and soft and all the charm southern folks expect in a biscuit. There is so much more on the menu to try, so I will definitely be back.

I come here all the time but today was my first time having the pumpkin pancakes and OMG.. they were amazing. The manager is awesome and I notice he treats his team members well. The staff and service is always great and will continue to visit this neighborhood gem!
