    Report a Ripoff New quiet Junk Fees J Christopher's Restaurant 1438 Dresden Dr Brookhaven, Ga 404-467-0110 brookhaven@jchristophers.com They are now charging without any fanfare a " supplemental fee" to all transactions. I just noticed it on my bill and it is a percent % of the total cost. The waitress said there is a "little paper sign on the entrance door about it" It says: "We apply a supplemental fee to all transactions . Please know, this is not considered revenue. It helps offset the rising food industry fees." They have also raised the cost of the meals??

    Grits pie!

    I can't say enough good things about this place! The savory grits pie is absolutely incredible--similar to quichcomforting, flavorful, and unlike anything I've ever tasted. It's one of those dishes you think about for days afterward. On top of that, the service was fantastic. Everyone was friendly, attentive, and made us feel genuinely welcome from the moment we walked in. A truly wonderful experience all around!

    Huevos Avocado, it was great!!!
    Patrick W.

    Great clean modern place in a great location. The service was great as well. Flew into PDK airport and the ladies at Aero Center said they always recommend this place. I had the Huevos Avocado. It's an English muffin topped with sour cream, guacamole, pico de gallo, melted mixed cheese and poached egg (had mine scrambled). Served with black beans and breakfast potatoes. Highly recommend this place!!

    Pancakes

    So this is a standard breakfast spot. Decent food for breakfast and lunch. The one in Brookhaven is in a string of bars, shops, and restaurants, so it's a great area to walk around too. I had a friendly experience, the service was fast, the food was good. It was not anything overly dazzling, but it was solid if all you needed was a breakfast or a brunch spot that you wouldnt have to worry about hookah or trap music (not everyone is into that in Atlanta I guess lol). Think diner food when you come here. The bacon was good, the pancakes are huge, the bowl (with a biscuit) is okay in size but pretty filling. Its not knock your socks off breakfast and brunch but it will definitely get th job done.

    It's sort of an upscale breakfast diner. Everyone is extremely friendly and get you seated right away. The staff is excellent. The food is good, the maple toast was delicious. The coffee is pretty good. The potatoes are all right and the scrambled eggs are good. I got the turkey bacon so it was as expected. fairly clean inside. Tons of parking in the area located in a really nice place. Prices are obviously very decent. They have a huge menu selection including breakfast pancakes, eggs, toast, grits among other things. They also have a decent lunch selection. I do recommend coming here. Fast excellent service. Foods not bad to and it definitely hits the spot when you're hungry. Lots of coffee selections as well. They also have like a diner seating area in the front, bar style. There's also outdoor seating.

    J Christopher storefront.

    Came to J. Christopher's for the first time in well over a year. This was one of my favorite after-mass breakfast places, and I'd come to the location once or twice a month. Free parking in the lot behind the restaurant was easy to find. R and I entered through the back door. There was a host station just inside, and no one was staffing it, so we kept walking toward the paining dining area. A server saw us and told us that we could sit anywhere that didn't have a blue X made with tape on the table. We looked around, and the tables without Xs on them allowed for acceptable social distancing. We chose a table and sat down. While waiting for our server, I didn't really notice any big changes in the restaurant, other than most of the servers were different than the regulars who used to work here. The employees wore face masks, and face masks are required for customers. Paintings, most of them colorful and some of them in black in white, took up much of the wall space. All of the tables were stripped down - no spices, no napkins, no condiments ... nothing. There are tables outside in the side patio that is shaded by the building. Our server came by with eating utensils wrapped in a cloth napkin, and two menus. She took our drink order. While she was gone, I noticed that they had St Patrick's Week Specials still going on, so I checked them out and noticed they had a Reuben sandwich as one of the specials. Our server returned with our drinks and took our orders. I ordered the Reuben sandwich special with oven-roasted potatoes. R ordered the spinach and bacon skillet which included two sunny side up eggs. After about 10 minutes, our food was served. Just like the service, the food was just ok. My Reuben sandwich was soggy on the bottom, and there wasn't very much meat in it - maybe three slices of corned beef, if that, that was cooked on the grill before being put in the sandwich with sauerkraut and everything else. I don't suggest getting this sandwich. The oven-roasted potatoes looked great, but were dry and a little crunchy. Meh. R said his food was good. When we were done eating, we wanted the check, but the server wasn't around. We had to wait another five minutes before we saw here, and R flagged her down. When we were leaving, there was no acknowledgement from any of the employees, so this was consistent with us not being acknowledged when we entered. Overall, the mid to high energy and excellent customer service that this location had pre-pandemic fell to low energy level and not so good customer focus.

    Eggs Benedict

    Loved the portion size however it wasn't the best food I've ever had. The service was ok, our server handed us our check before we got our food.

    J. Christopher's is a wonderful brunch spot. They have locations all around town and the food is amazing. The only downfall is they don't serve up alcohol to go with their delicious brunch food. So, two of my friends work at this location and one of them brought quesadillas to one of our hang outs. I had no clue they had quesadillas and had no clue their quesadillas were amazing! Seriously, they were the best I've had, besting out the old style quesadillas they used to serve up at Chili's (before they changed their recipe and the quesadillas went downhill). The tortilla is nicely grilled and crispy, and there is the perfect amount of cheese & chicken. Plus, the beans! Oh my, very tasty. I decided to order take out last week from here and get the chicken quesadillas. The place is in a quaint spot in Brookhaven, nestled in off the sidewalk. You can find a ton of parking behind the building or opt for street parking. The place is very small but nice. I'd say they have about 10-12 booths and 6-8 tables. Very open. They were following social distancing protocol with spacing out guests and wearing gloves & masks. This spot is perfect if you have any safety concerns. I got my quesadillas home and they were better than the previous time. Highly recommend you try out the quesadillas!

    Sausage and gravy skillet
    Fernando G.

    Had the sausage skillet in this really clean and cozy spot. Flavors were on point, but service took its sweet time. Still, solid experience in a comfy setting made it a decent meal.

    Turkey Sandwich
    Suria N.

    Very good brunch here. We enjoyed the sausage skillet, big breakfast, turkey sandwich, and salad. All tasty and delicious. Good and friendly service too. We'll be back again someday.

    Chai tea latte
    Tanya J.

    I came here for some brunch after church on a Sunday and left the place more than satisfied. When I walked in I was greeted with happy faces, despite the fact that it was Christmas Eve and all he stresses that come with the holiday season, and I goes to sit at the "bar." The menu has great options that cover all the go to breakfast items and variations. I chose to order the steak and eggs with breakfast potatoes and a chocolate chip pancake. I also ordered a chai tea latte. The employees work efficiently and take the time to check in and have the right amount of small talk! The latte was so good, and he steak and eggs were cooked to perfection! The prices were extremely reasonable. I will be back. There is 2 hour street parking and other cute shops to browse after eating.

    Scrambled eggs w/cheese, pork sausage and biscuit
    Terri M.

    Why wasn't my biscuit hot? Like, that really bothers me when I get a room temperature biscuit and cold butter. What am I supposed to do with that? The rest of the meal was good and thankfully the offer a good cup of coffee. I. Really hoping it was an off day for them because I really would like to give them another try. Covid protocols were being practiced and they have parking g in the rear of the building as well as metered parking out front.

I've passed by this nearly deserted plaza many times and never felt the urge to enter. But the urge for a burger was strong late at night and they had a special going through Uber Eats, as I'm not sure I'd have tried this place otherwise. The burger was surprising large and decent. It was undeniably tasty and prepared exactly how I ordered it which rarely happens at other places. But the fries... oh boy. Whatever oil they fried them with was undoubtedly old and nasty. I had to drown them in hot sauce to be able to eat them. My digestive system did not enjoy that decision. In term of ambience... this is a bar. No matter the time of day, the vibes will always be a bar. Very sticky. Sepia-like, with drunk, belligerent customers and cigarettes littering the storefront. Not sure I'd eat in here. But hey, I gotta give them their props for that burger. I'd definitely order it again if the craving arises, especially since I live in the neighborhood. Shout out to them for staying open late.

Also, the other businesses connected to the restaurant is boarded up. Between the parking lot and boarded buildings makes it very sketchy looking. Honestly speaking.

However it made absolutely no sense once you have a seat & the waitress explains to you that you literally can not share not one slice of the ribeye with anyone at your table nor can they even have a French fry OR YOU WILL BE KICKED OUT the restaurant. I thought that was an immediate turn off. I feel like they could have maybe made that sound a lot more classy. One thing about me I'm going to try something in everyone's plate, especially if we all ordered differently. That was such a turn off. However, I did not order the all you can eat, in fact i ordered the same exact meal but as my dinner dish for 1 because realistically who is eating more then one once of ribeye along with a boat load of fries? I'm not. The bbq shrimp deviled eggs were good, if the shrimp was warm i feel like it would have tasted better. The oysters were really good, definitely enjoyed those. Ehh, the Ribeye i wouldn't go back to get in such a rush, the fries were crispy & well made. Now the lobster pasta!!! 10/10 nothing else needs to be stated for this dish! They also have a drink special that advertises $9 for the mini, makes absolutely no sense as it's about 3 sips & done, might as well order a regular martini to enjoy it with your meal.

I wasn't a huge fan unfortunately. The pork chop was delicious but would recommend putting the blueberry compote on the side instead of dousing the whole plate with it. The compote was very good and not super sweet which was nice (so I didn't mind eating it with the potatoes and green beans as well). My husband ordered the sirloin steak but as you can see in the picture it looked like someone just put clumps of horseradish all over thinly sliced pieces of sirloin. That much sauce on thin pieces of meat can be a bit overwhelming. The most disappointing was the presentation, it just did not look presentable. I would say the steak still tasted very good. The corn side was also cold. The server was great, no complaints there. My favorite part of the experience was the mocktail. This place has true potential. I will definitely try it again and hope that I can boost the star rating a bit next time.
