Chris's is still fantastic...the prices have increased, just like everywhere else. But this is one of those places where I feel ok paying a lot right now because the quality is there and the sandwiches are big. I'm not sure how long I'll feel that way though! :-) I try to get something different each time we go. This time I got the turkey jalapeno club. Along with the side of fries we shared, it was enough for two meals. It was really delicious!! They roast the turkey breast themselves and the jalapeno bread is out of this world. I would definitely get this again. Matt got the jalapeno cheeseburger, which had two thick beef patties side by side on the jalapeno bread...at $18.95 it was actually a pretty good deal. He's ordered this before and loves it. He especially likes the fried jalapenos they add. The fries are house made and delicious. One order is enough for two. We'll definitely be back! read more

Got take out for a work lunch. When first looking at the menu the prices were a little shocking, but when we got the food and saw the sizes it made sense. I had an assorted on sour dough. It was delicious and had plenty of meat. Coworker had the steak sandwich and was happy with it. Another had the fish taco and it was huge, more like a fish burrito and was even large to be considered a burrito. read more

I am not sure how I did not know about this hidden gem until recently, but I am SO glad that it was recommended to me! Chris' NY Sandwich Co has such an extensive menu of delicious options- I want to keep going back until I've tried them all! I did a 50/50 sandwich split with my best friend- we got the Panko Chicken Jalapeno Cheddar Club and the Grilled Portobello Mushroom Sandwich- highly recommend both! On top of the great food, the service was wonderful and the owners were SO friendly!! read more

We love Chris' so much every time! Today we were sat quickly and our orders came out fast despite it being quite busy in there. Waitress was very friendly. The panko chicken, strawberry, and pecan salad slaps every time! My fiancé had the turkey sandwich with garlic mayo, and he really enjoyed it. The only downside is that it's not open on the weekend at all and hours are very limited. read more

Everything was really yummy but WOO the portions are big! I ordered the steak sandwich personally and it was heavier than I was expecting. The sandwich was packed with a hearty portion of steak, onion rings, lettuce, and tomatoes. It usually comes with a side of chips but I swapped it out for a side salad. Note: substitutions are an extra charge. Otherwise, the staff were all super friendly! Only thing is the food took a lil while to come out read more

Busy place for a weekday lunch. I ordered a sandwich to go. Went with the Hawaiian chicken salad on jalapeno cheddar cheese. Chips are ala carte. I got a bag with my sandwich. This was a good size sandwich. I forced myself to eat the whole thing when I could have easily saved half for later. Everything was fine with it, except I didn't see any cheese. Menu states all sandwiched are built with cheese. Oh well. Not a deal breaker. You do get a lot of chicken salad. The bread was soft, but maybe too soft for this type of sandwich. Didn't really taste a difference with it being a jalapeno cheddar bread. I would go back to try some other meals. read more

I haven't been in years and I was so excited to order because the food has always been wonderful! I ordered to go the 1st day picked my food up I was in and out even left a tip and was 100% satisfied. I was told they only serve fish Tuesdays and Thursdays I had my taste buds set on the fish so the next day I ordered it to go. I walked in to pick it up but this time was different.. I guess because I had my phone to my ear the cashier decided to completely ignore me even after giving her eye contact and a smile. I didn't realize I was deliberately being ignored until another customer walks in cuts in front of me and I spoke up saying that I've been waiting. The cashier shrugged her shoulders "oh you're on the phone" I said I didn't know I had to be off my phone to be serve. Then the customer decides to chime in stating "it's common courtesy" right then and there I should have walked out and went about my day. 1 What if the person I was on the with had a question better yet wanted to put an order in while I was there? 2 Nowadays people are constantly busy having things go on and are competent enough to multitask! 3 If I had an earpiece in my ear, would services still been denied? As a Business owner myself and dealing with the general public customers come into my establishment daily on the their phones and I still greet them, serve them and have them in and out not refusing service because they are on the phone. Some of us can walk and chew gum at the same time. Due to this experience I will never return and next time put a sign up so people have an understanding they won't be served unless off their phones. read more

Love this place! I have always has a great experience here and the food is so good! The salads and sandwiches are huge, not to mention it's such a cute location. The chefs have on many occasions come out to greet people and ask about the food! It's such a nice touch and makes the restaurant feel so homey! Would definitely recommend! read more

You know, I tried the infamous Fontiella jerk turkey burger with cajun mayo and see for myself all the chatter! Welp, it IS all that and more. The moistest turkey burger I've ever had. Not to spicy, thick patty, and cooked to perfection. Also, I got the cajun chicken salad on croissant for backup. No backup was needed, but I'm glad I did. The chicken salad was a flavor bomb piled into a very soft, fresh croissant! These sandwiches are delicious! I can't wait to try others. They are only open 11 to 2, advise order early, they stay busy! read more

If anyone knows me, they know I love sandwiches. I have at least one sandwich for a meal a day. Lunchtime is the perfect time for a sandwich and I am so glad to have found out about Chris'. First off, the size of these sandwiches makes me so happy! This is a real sandwich. Unlike those small, little things you get from chains that are all about soup and sandwiches, these sandwiches from Chris' are worth the bang for your buck. I got the Hawaiian Chicken Salad and the Panko Chicken Avocado Club for our lunch. The weight of the bag as I was leaving was noticeable and I got excited. As you can see, they don't skimp on anything with these sandwiches and they were both delicious and filling. I can't say enough about the great service and food here. They have a sit down area where you can be waited on and eat there. Or they have a take out counter that feels like a counter straight from the city. This spot has such a great feel to it and really makes for a great lunch spot. And the pie? ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS. You can tell it's homemade and it's the best way to end this great meal. I will definitely be going back for more of everything. read more

Amazing food. Plan for a 1.5 - 2 hour lunch even when not busy. Ridiculously and unapologetically slow.

Came here this week and enjoyed a delicious fish taco and side salad. Portion sizes were huge! Food was great. Our waitress was friendly and food came out in a reasonable amount of time during the lunch hour. This is a great spot for takeout, or sit down if you have some time. read more

This will definitely be on my list the next time I'm in Buffalo and so should you! What a diamond in the rough. Follow the google map directions and you get right there. A cute place on the inside. Very nicely decorated. The service was great. Our server was friendly and took great care of us. The FOOD! OMG! The best sandwich I have ever eaten. Take a look at the pics. The Cajun fries were great and sweet potatoes were cooked perfectly. The sandwiches were a flavor combination to enlighten your taste buds. I ate every bit of it. The two sandwiches featured in the photos were different flavor profiles but both were dynamite for taste! Thank you for a great lunch. See you again one day. read more

Great lunch spot on Delaware! Stopped here after visiting the new art museum addition. My wife ordered their chicken Hawaiian sandwich on sour dough bread which is served with chips. She loved it!! I ordered their Friday special,a fish fry.The fish is lightly coated with Panko bread crumbs. The fish was fresh and delicious! It comes with a salad and some tasty coleslaw. We took 2 oatmeal raisin cookies home with us. Service was great. The sandwich shop is very plain inside but clean. They do a great carry out business. read more

Ordered Ham and Swiss Sandwiches--one on Pumpernickel with lettuce, tomato and onion and dijon mustard and the other on seeded rye with spicy mustard and just onion. The sandwiches were piled generously with Ham and Cheese. The breads were fresh, crusty crusts and doughey interiors and they smelled fabulous. My husband and I actually had to remove some Ham to be able to bite into the sandwiches!! Yum!! read more

Orderd lunch today for the first time in a while. While always pricey, the food at Chris' is normally top tier delicious. Today however, was disappointing. The Tuna Mac salad was loaded with too much mayo, very skimpy of the peas too. Also, there was so little tuna that I could barely taste that it was tuna salad and not just macaroni salad. $5 for macaroni and mayonnaise is outrageous. I won't be ordering it again which is disappointing as it has always been great in the past. The turkey sandwich with roasted red peppers was terrific although it should be considering it was over $18! It is a huge sandwich though, enough for two lunches. read more

The Pho and Pad Thai never disappoint. We have been going for years and it's always great food and family that runs it is so nice!

Chris' Bistro offers an unforgettable dining experience every time.For years, I've been captivated by the consistently high-quality dishes and the warmth of the family-run ambiance. From the expertly crafted Pho and Pad Thai to the visually stunning fish tacos that could grace any food magazine, there's something to delight everyone.I eagerly anticipate each visit for the Hawaiian chicken salad sandwich--a favorite for over four decades--and the chance to catch up with Chris, whose passion infuses every bite.Whether dining in or taking out, each visit to Chris' is a reminder of the freshness and care that define this cherished local gem. read more

Love the sandwiches here! We order for lunch all the time. I wish they were open later or on the weekends I would love to bring my kids.

I have known Chris for more than 40 years when he was first starting the business. I come back every year for the Hawaiian chicken salad sandwich and to see Chris for a selfie What I remember most from the beginning of this business is that everything put into the preparation of food is fresh... Same day fresh. I'm astounded at the growing variety of offerings on the menu And year after year everything tastes incredibly good. The service is terrific, fast and cheerful anf the ambience friendly and warm. read more

Got a sandwich to go the other day and it wasn't the same experience as it was in house. The sandwich was MASSIVE but wasn't cut in half, so I struggled to eat it while at work. The sandwich itself was pretty good- I ordered the Panko Chicken Avocado Club, and my only other desire was that it had more Gorgonzola cheese on it. The chicken didn't have a ton of flavor so it really relied on the toppings. Probably wouldn't get that sandwich again but will return to Chris' read more

I can't say enough about the food and tbh, if it was just a food review - It'd be 5 stars...but their customer service or lack thereof drags this rating down to the basement. Just today, our guy started calling at 10:30, got through around 10:40ish, girl was extremely rude to our well mannered Brit, still - he placed the order for 3 sandwiches & 5 salads--was told would be ready at 12:30. Our 2 guys go to pick it up & have to wait 20 additional minutes. We tried for an early (company) lunch today, wound up eating at 1:15 hahaaa,, is this place serious? Mistakes happen, busy restaurants happen, but attitude & terrible processes are a choice and your staff has a lot to learn in this regard. () read more

Excellent food. Had pastrami and cheese. Awesome!Slow, but worth the wait! 3 generation family restaurant.

Chris' where do I begin? Honestly it has been a few years since we have visited. We don't live near the city and working a day job in the suburbs makes getting here near impossible. One day a month ago my wife had a meeting so I took the day off to join her on her venture. It was about lunch time and she said since we are in the city want to stop By Chris' - um yes!! It was a must and it didn't disappoint! We got there right before lunch so we were seated upstairs before people started coming in for lunch. We were served by a very nice waitress and the sandwiches were what we remembered and of course we took half Home to enjoy the following day! read more

Take out a loan for a sandwich. Paid just under 20 bux for a 'to-go' pastrami reuben last week (10/2024.). I would have said no thanks if I weren't in such shock. While delicious, it came with no pickle, no chips and wasn't even sliced in half. I was in Manhattan proper a few months ago and paid 18.50 for an equivalent with fries pickle and service (not including tip.). I hope their employees are all making at least $20 an hour, get health insurance and a 401k. Smh. read more

This is another place that I live right next to and tried for the first time today. I enjoyed it! Food is fairly priced and the portions are above average. The goat cheese turkey burger was exceptionally good tasting while my jerk turkey burger was above average. I would highly suggest getting fries they were very good for a couple dollars more. The buns were fresh which was very tasty. Only reason I would knock Chris' a couple stars would be because of the short hours and the longer wait times to get food. Closing at 2:30 pm kind of limits them in a big way as well . Our food did take a little bit longer to come and the check was a little longer as well. Overall, if you have nothing going on for a weekday lunch and are looking to fill up on some good food this is the place! Great portions, good price, great tasting. Update: went back to Chris' which is now doing dinner until 8 pm where you can sit outside and ordered the Vendetta sandwich and wow was this worth updating. This sandwich was amazing and I even had half of it the next day and it was still good! The hours seem to be extended during the current times which is exciting because I've wanted to try more things on the menu but it's always hard because they closed at 2:30. Highly suggest The Vendetta! read more

I'm soooooo glad Chris' is back!! This place recently suffered a serious setback with a fire (1-2 years ago, I think) that essentially destroyed the entire restaurant, put in-restaurant dining on hold for a little more than a year...BUT! This place is back with a fresh, new look, and the taste is better than it's ever been! My dad originally tipped me off to this place; it's definitely in his top favorite downtown lunch spots. I'd go as far to say, it's one of the best. The food here is a good size for your buck, and it's not overly heavy or filling. Don't get me started on how good it is! Chris' is the sort of place you definitely have to do a little planning of the day's schedule beforehand, since they're only open during lunch hours. It's sort of a small space, but there's a ton of places to sit. I have to say, i prefer the new look over the old one. Now the restaurant looks classy, but casual - most definitely the sort of place I would love to sit in and dine. I'd suggest getting there around the time that they open for the day if you want to dine in, though we've never had a problem getting a table during a busy lunch rush. That being said, if it's a nice Buffalo day (for once) and there's an open table at the patio outside, TAKE IT!! The menu here is phenomenal. There are dozens of things to choose from, from sandwiches to salads and soups, and every dish (especially the sandwiches) are pretty massive. I don't know if the cook knows just how good he or she is, but there's a reason this place is truly a hidden gem of sorts. I can't resist their fish here - it's probably the best thing on their menu (though, I've had a couple of their other sandwiches, and they are definitely the bomb dot com too). My favorite is the Fish Taco, which isn't a 'taco' so much as a giant wrap with fish, lettuce, tomato, spicy mayo, and poppyseeds, but hey...it's pretty darn good. The service here is just as fantastic, even better. Love the women who work here! Beth is always so nice to us, and even though Courtney was new, I loved being served by her! She was so incredibly friendly and pleasantly talkative. They have take-out and do deliveries as well, if you can't make it in or can't stay for very long. But definitely come to this place hungry; their dishes are pretty big! read more

Lunch only, and always crowded but worth the wait! Went there today to pick up sandwiches for the family working at home, and could not get through on the phone; user busy every time. Ordered from the counter (on the right as you walk in) the Turkey Jalapeno club, turkey dill sandwich, and green chicken pita. No salads available today (Julia wanted the Chicken Milenese). The portions are gigantic, and the ingredients always fresh. The turkey dill salad especially is terrific; and a fairly uncommon flavor. They put fresh jalapenos on the Turkey Jalapeno club, so be ready ... Also try the meatloaf sandwich, its just like mom used to make. Also be ready to wait - I ordered at 12:15 and got the sandwiches at 12:50, but very worth it. Regarding the other reviews on customer service, the staff was tense and focused, but not rude. Although if they wanted that *true* NY feel they could certainly lean into ya! People were packed in the dining room as well, which has an open upper level to give the shop a big feel. Careful as you pull up, it's easy to miss. Right across from the Delaware Mansion and the Buffalo Club. Highly recommended! read more
