I personally don't like anything I've eaten from here, pot roast, their cheeseburger, and their Filipino choices. My husband loves the meatloaf. read more

We stopped by at this place for some Filipino dish. I had gotten Christine's feast which comes with rice, pansit, 2 pork skewers, 2 lumpia, and the filipino soup that they offer. It was okay, I wish it had more flavor to it. But most if it were kind of dry but still good. I wished they had more options with the filipino dishes, but they also serve a lot of American food. They had some filipino decorations and the service was good, it kind of made up for the food Food 6.5/10 Atmosphere 7/10 Service 8/10 read more

This place is fun and has lots of great options and the food is really good! Service is always good! Would come here again to eat!

Gordon Ramsey specifically says that one should not go to someplace that has 40 different cuisines. Sadly, he is correct in this case. We tried three of their top recommended dishes- the egg rolls, the pot roast, and the chorizo chicken. The egg rolls- the pictures do not look like the product. I was hoping for lumpia. I got cheap wonton wrappers with flavorless ground beef. The pot roast looks as described. It's a standard meat and three entree. Not bad, not good. Decent presentation. It was the highlight of the meal. The chorizo chicken is an abomination. It's standard "Mexican" rice, dry chicken, and what I am 99% certain to be ground beef and not chorizo. Chorizo has a specific flavor and color. The dish I received did not have that at all. I guess the cheese dip was pretty good. I had so much hope for this place, but I am sorely disappointed. I should have known better.. The food was delivered, warm still, but packaging could also have been improved as there was a pool of something in the bottom of the bag. read more

12/30 was very disappointed with the food and service we got this afternoon!! Our server acted like we were a bother . Took our order and didn't see her again until she brought the check . Spent to much money to be treated that way read more

I hate to leave a bad review but I was far from impressed with my experience at Christine's. I have to preface this by saying that I specifically came here to celebrate a special event with some family. It also happened to be a Friday during Lent so we all were going be adhering to a meat-free diet. Perfect, I thought, since Christine's has a really great list of fish: tilapia, salmon, grouper, etc. While Christine's isn't the fanciest ambiance (it's in an old Pizza Hut building), we were willing to spend a bit more due to the dietary and celebratory context of the meal. The major issue I had revolved around how an allergy mix up was handled. I'm celiac and have to adhere to a strict gluten free diet, which I mentioned upfront as the waitress took our orders. After eating the entree, I ordered a side of fries. When they arrived, I tried one, and immediately knew they were not just plain potatoes - there was a flaky coating that set off an alarm bell for me. Before continuing eating, I again questioned her (as I had before, regarding many of the dishes being open for gluten free substitutions; it was pretty clear I was dealing with a major allergy here). She didn't know and went back to check. Of course, after the initial issue, she found they were seasoned with a breading-like shell which contained wheat flour. I was displeased in how things were handled from this point onward. I was annoyed that the waitress, instead of admitting fault, apologizing or just being pleasant in general, actually tried to deny being at all aware that I had an allergy! To add insult to injury, she asked if I wanted a replacement item (fair it seems) to which I politely declined...only to still be charged for the fries. I think the worst part was, as the check arrived, she said, "yeah sorry about that before, none of our cooks speak English." Again, a statement like this accepts no responsibility as the front-end representative of the business: it just shifts the blame to others. I am sure that mine is not the typical experience here: I'd encourage you to come and try for yourself. Christine's just isn't my type of place. read more

My husband and I have driven past Christine's many, many times but never stopped in to dine. Until now. Christine's seems to be a very popular, busy place. Despite the large volume of customers, our service was very quick and friendly. The menu has a great variety of choices and the adult beverage menu is pretty good too. I enjoyed a glass of the Riesling. For dinner, I ordered the Crab Cakes and Shrimp dinner with green beans and fried cabbage. My husband ordered the Chicken a la Chorizo, which I also got to sample. Both dishes were flavorful and really delicious. I'm disappointed, though, that we didn't order any egg rolls. Other reviewers have raved about them and I'm dying to try one. Ah, well. Something to look forward to during our next visit. And I can promise that we will definitely be back! Finally, we topped off our meal by sharing a delectable slice of Brownie Cheesecake. Need I say more? What's most unique about Christine's is the menu diversity. You're sure to find something to fit everyone's tastes. They even have a kids' menu. The next time you're in the neighborhood, I highly recommend that you stop in for a bite. Don't wait as long as we did. Bon appetit! read more

Everyone always raves about this place, so we decided to give it a try. First off, English is obviously not our waitress's first language and there were quite a few times where there were communication issues. Employing a person who has such a poor grasp of the language, when that's literally most of their job is a poor decision. The menu is diverse, but that's not necessarily a good thing. When a menu is all over the place like that, then you know they're not known for anything specific and everything will just be ok. As suspected, everything we ordered was just ok. Nothing stood out as good or bad, it was just average food. The spices are very odd in some things, like the tacos. I can only describe it as someone who has never had texmex tried to season ground beef based on what someone told them. It looks like a regular taco, but then you take a bite and make a "WTF is that?" face. We probably won't go back. read more

Back again (first time at new location for us) and so delicious! I had the tenderloin wrap and my mom had the pork chop - everything was great and fresh. My little dude had chicken and waffles and he ate most of it, which is serious kudos from a 4 year old! So glad we came back since we were down this way! read more

Good food! Could use more help but never had a bad meal there. Even had out book club a while back. Very friendly. read more

WOW! Fantastic meal. My wife had the pork tenderloin and I had the Shrimp Chimichanga. I wish I could remember our server's name but she was great. Happy hour from 3 to 6. We couldn't be happier! Mike read more

Ever since we learned about Christine's here on the West Side we have been big fans of the food, the drinks, and the hardest-working woman in the business, Christine. My boyfriend is Filipino and I'm honorary (visited the country 3 times) so we love getting our fill of lumpia (egg rolls) and pancit (noodles). I would love to see even more Filipino choices on the menu, but where is the room?! They have everything from burgers to Italian to Mexican...and they keep adding more treats. The new location looks great and is even closer to our house, so now that the world is getting back to normal I'm sure we'll be there even more often for happy hour and more. read more

Ate there on Christmas Day 2023 and the food was delicious and the waitress (which I think is the daughter of the owner? ) actually ran her butt off and did an AWESOME JOB!!!! We will for sure be back!! Thank you and thank you for working, hope you all had a Merry Christmas read more

We've been there soooo many times. Great variety of food great margaritas great service and the owner Christine is super cool

The food is wonderful! The portions are large and the service is welcoming! Try the open faced roast beef! The desserts are worth it!

We always enjoy having dinner here however tonight was a disappointment. We order our appetizer (chili) and I had a salad with my meal. They both came out at the same time but within minutes our meal was brought out. By the time we finished the chili and my salad my dinner was cold. read more

I've been waiting to go to Christines for sometime now as Yelp reviews have given this place high hopes. We had lunch here and were very happy with our experience. I love supporting local family businesses. The owner was working along with the other staff as you could tell she cared about her place. Since I've never had classic Philippine dishes before, I had the pork adobo. It was very flavorful and delicious. I started out my meal with the chicken wings with sweat and sour sauce. They were good, but I prefer fried wings over baked. Next time I'll have to order their Philippine egg rolls as they looked delicious. I will definitely return to this place as they have so many menu options that I really want to try out. read more

I miss lumpia soooooooo much! Since I moved to the mid west, I haven't found any Filipino Food. So when I found this place, I decided we needed to make the 2 hour drive to eat here. Unfortunately we stopped at Finlay Market first and we hadn't prepared to buy a bunch of meat and didn't want to leave it in the car so we ordered the lumpia Eggrolls and the vegetable appetizer that included cheese coated fried pickles, onion rings, mushrooms and cauliflower. Walking in.......the place was packed for lunch which was a good sign. The menu is pretty basic, but offers a lot of Americanized fusion items and has a full bar. This place looks like it may have been a lounge at one point. For the price I paid, I expected to get 5 small skimpy rolls. Boy was I wrong!! I think I got 8 huge, fat, meaty and packed rolls!! We could have had that and split a salad. I only ordered the veggies because I didn't think they were going to be enough. If you are not familiar with lumpia......it's porky goodness mixed with cabbage, carrots, garlic and wonderful spices all mixed into an eggroll. ‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ Their dipping sauce for both were AMAZING for both items we got. It was like a sweet, creamy, chipotle kinda taste. Come support this place!!! I think we may go back this weekend, weather permitting. read more

We ordered catering from Christine's for 20 people. We worked directly with the owner, Christine, and she was an absolute delight. She prepared a traditional Filipino plate with soup, pork skewers, egg rolls and rice noddles. She also added beef tacos for the unadventurous and vegetarian fajitas for our vegetarians. Everything was well marked. Hot dishes were hot, cold were cold. The team helped me load my car and everything was well packaged The pork skewers were the star- very well seasoned The egg rolls were delicious; their sauce was outstanding- maybe had a hint of green tea? Tacos had a nice spice as did the pico The soup was amazing- very comforting The rice noodles were great as well Christine's is full of wonderful people ready to cook and serve with love Check them out read more

Great food, awesome happy hour, wonderful service, nice atmosphere. Only wish they didn't move further west from her original location.

Tons of great food here. Been coming once every week or two for months, and still hooked on the chimichanga- blows every Mexican restaurant in Cincinnati out of the water. I've had several of the Philippine dishes which are all tasty- especially recommend getting the pancit as a side dish with you meal, though I really like the Mac and cheese and mashed potatoes and gravy too, and haven't had any sides that I didn't like. The fried fish is average, but have a few preparations and fish choices which is nice if that's what you are in the mood for. Meatloaf is homemade as really good, and the pot roast is solid diner style and quality. The mozzarella sticks are really good here as well. CHIMICHANGAS ARE LIFE HERE. Also- they have a really cool Philippine dessert that involves purple yam ice cream, coconut, corn flakes, and about 30 other things. Maybe not something you'd get every time, but a really unique, fun, and apparently authentic dessert that's worth giving a try. read more

The food was amazing and the staff was great. A lot of people complained that the service was too slow, but when you show up to the only restaurant open on Christmas, you have to expect it to be busier than usual. Christine and her staff handled themselves well, and thanks to them for putting up with the bs. read more

Ate here for lunch for the first time today. Had the meat loaf with mashed potatoes and green beans, hot slaw and veggie soup. Everything was great. Got NY cheesecake to take home. Service was very friendly and attentive. I hope to return soon and try some other dishes including the key lime pie. read more

I wanted to like this place but menu too large and multiple things our family tried were just okay. This restaurant should probably just focus on one type of food rather than offering everything and it not be that tasty. read more

Such a diverse menu anyone can find something they like. The service is almost always top notch and I haven't had anything from the menu I didn't like. read more

Let me start this review by saying that I do NOT go to the west side. It's too far away, and everything I want I can get in OTR, where I live. Or so I thought. I had no idea what I was missing! Christine's was suggested by a friend, and we all met there for dinner. The menu is definitely eclectic, with traditional American meals like pot roast and hamburgers, and Filipino options like Pancit and barbecue. We tried a little of a lot in order to get a real idea for what Christine's was like, and OH MY GOD IT WAS ALL AMAZING. the meatloaf was perfect, just like your mom made. The bbq was delightfully crispy on the outside but moist and flavorful. The server was awesome, the prices were reasonable. We seriously can't wait for another excuse to be in Christine's neck of the woods. read more

We love Christine's! It is such a diverse menu and literally everything we have tried has been outstanding. Tonight we ordered to go and when I got home, realized they had forgotten the cheese sauce on my chicken la chorizo. I called and Christine herself offered to bring me the sauce. Unbelievable! Customer service to the next level!!! read more

Omg Omg Omggg I was looking for a place that served meatloaf close to my moms (you already know nobody compares to mamas meatloaf ) and Christine's surpassed my expectations I'm still in shock No one has ever made meatloaf better than my mom but I may say Christine's meatloaf is pretty up there ! I got the meatloaf with a side of mashed potatoes and gravy and macaroni and cheese Wasn't really a fan of the gravy whatsoever but hey to each their own , what I might not like another person may enjoy ! It was a little sweet and salty for me but the mashed potatoes alone paired with the meatloaf! Perfect ! And they give you just the right amount The macaroni and cheese blew me away I haven't had a decent macaroni in the Cincinnati area until now ! I couldn't stop eating it and kept wanting more I am definitely coming back just for the meatloaf and Mac alone Amazinggggg I tried the all star special which let me say Christine knows what she's doing ! The all star is a chicken and shrimp mixed with rice and queso and it's REALLY good A Spanish staple at most Mexican restaurants and it was done to perfection, definitely knows Latin cuisine well based on this dish I look forward to trying other dishes since Christine's has a variety of everything Highly recommended! There's something for everyone! read more

Food was tasty. Service was great. They are very responsive to the needs of my 23 year old grandkids.

Busy place, waited about 30 minutes for our food but I figured it would be a wait walking into the place. The food was worth the wait though... definitely wanted something different for dinner and got a new taste for the right price. Loved the food had no problems besides finding a small fly by my rice towards the end of the meal but we was sitting by a window so, I figured it wasn't a big deal. I'll definitely be back to try something new on the menu. My friend loved her fish & chips as well had no problem Update ; came back and tried the pork chop dinner!!!! Love this place Update for the third time: this is an all time favorite place of mine to go to, I have tried numerous food items the staff is friendly, & the chicken wings & eggrolls are to die for !! I would highly recommend going here if your in the area . read more

I positioned the bacon where it is (in the pic)...it was all just in one spot before. It's a turkey club, you'd hope that it wouldn't be too complicated to execute, but alas, the execution wasn't there and neither was quality turkey or enough mayo. That soup tho saved the day!! Amazing flavor, light, but hearty. Really good. It was eight bucks, at lunch, so expectations weren't high. I'll be back to try some dinner stuff. read more

Christine's Family Dining is an amazing restaurant, a real gem for us on the Westside of Cincinnati. Located on Westbourne Dr. across from Western Bowl. This place pleasantly decorated & immaculate. Servers are always friendly & efficient. A new full menu covers a wide range of delicious meals from brunch (11:00AM -3:00PM) to lunch selections, to a variety of tasty dinners like the pot roast dinner with real (not boxed) mashed potatoes & green beans. Not to forget the full bar, & a vast selection of scrumptious desserts to top off a fabulous experience. Don't forget the $2 taco nights on Tuesdays. I especially enjoy Christine's steak burger, pot roast sandwiches on a pretzel bun & hot chicken noodle soup with lots of carrots & onions. Frequently very busy with repeat customers, additional parking is available next door. If you're having a large party, it's probably best to call ahead for reservations. Give Christine's a real try, I'm sure you'll be glad you did ! Jim & Ginny read more
