Drove past this place the other day & decided we'd try it out on my husband's birthday. 100% glad we did. Has an old time diner feel & loved that we were able to choose our own table. Menu was bigger than expected with options for everyone. We both ended up getting the Route 66 skillet and loved it. I also got a side of French toast that was good. Our daughter had the kids meal that I believe was a good portion for her. Our waitress was Ashley and she was super sweet and attentive. A great first experience here, we will definitely be returning. read more

No point in even writing a review on this place other than to hopefully save some others from wasting their time and money. None of the dishes were even close to acceptable. Simply astounding!! Only silver lining was the stellar service from the young lady who was serving us. Food - 1/5 Service - 4/5 Ambience - 2/5 read more

Googled a good breakfast place in Macon hoping for a hidden gem. The menu looked enticing. Ordered Eggs (over medium) grits and English muffin. Pancakes for my granddaughter. The order of grits was so very disappointing. No more than 2 tablespoons of grits in a bowl about the size of a child's fist. The English muffin was cold and chewy instead of a warm and a little bit crunchy. The pancakes were disappointing as well. The pancakes were crumbly. The service and the atmosphere were GREAT but the food was just barely average and definitely overpriced. For the money, could have eaten twice at Waffle-house or one and half times at Famous Mikes. Famous Mikes gives you an adult serving of grits. I doubt I will return. read more

Order: burger and potatoes Pros: the burger was decent! Cons: the potatoes were very salty. I did not finish them. I wish they would have had french frys though. read more

J Christopher's - Burger - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Macon, Georgia

The service was great!!! Our server was sweet and very attentive. I gave it a 3 star rating because the food was disappointing. It was just OK to me. I got the J Christopher eggs Benedict, and the eggs weren't that runny; taste was subpar, I added more salt and pepper...it was nothing to rave about it. I've had better at other establishments. The grits definitely needed more seasoning too and my hubby can make better grits at home.. The one thing I can rave about is the delicious cup of Spanish latte I received. I drank it all up once the temp dropped to something I could handle! It was scorching hot! Definitely would get it again. I'm not sure if I'll be back again as I live in WR so I would not drive out of my way to go..maybe if I'm already in the area, I will. read more

J Christopher's - J Christopher's Eggs Benny & Spanish Latte - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Macon, Georgia

Nice brunch place, sans the mimosas. I keep hearing there is no where to eat breakfasts on Sundays around the area, but this is a great spot. It was lightly filled, four tables including ourselves on a Tuesday right at 11. Friendly service, food delivered fairly quick and fresh. We came from the gym down the road and only wanted a quick bite. We ordered two cups of coffee which comes out as bottomless carafe, but a charge for two, so drink up! We split the Huevos Avocado, so I can't speak for much else on the menu, but this hit the spot. Avocado and pico was fresh, poached egg runny yummy! Very large booths, great for families. Fun modern American art on the walls, a sprinkle of other pieces and photos included. Good conversation pieces. We'll be back in hopes to be sure of 5 stars :) read more

Our waitress was super nice and attentive, even when we were walking to the door one of the staff was sitting outside at a table and greeted us. Everyone seemed friendly. Food was served quickly and the Huevos Avacado was extremely delicious! read more

J Christopher's - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Macon, Georgia

I went to visit a friend in this area and was looking for a cute little brunch spot for us to eat at. This is literally the only brunch spot besides the regular known chains. (Cracker Barrel, Ihop etc) I checked Yelp before going, and I wasn't impressed by the pics of the food but for the most part they had pretty good reviews besides the ones that I SHOULD have listened to (The bad ones) When we got there the parking lot was empty... 1st red flag. When we walked in we were greeted and told to sit wherever we wanted. We sat down and immediately realized that it was colder inside then outside, and it was pretty cold that day. So we decided to keep our coats on cause it was freezing. I hate being uncomfortable while eating. Anywho the waitress came over to take our order I asked her a couple of times like what she recommended, if she had any favorites? and she was like super bland about it like "yea you might like the pancakes... or the scrambles skillets are pretty good" I guess that was my 2nd hint I missed. I guess she was secretly trying to tell me to get the heck out of dodge. Once our food came we were highlyyyyy disappointed. Well when she brought my food over it didn't look bad, it actually looked pretty satisfying. Well let me just say this "Everything that glitter ain't gold" Our food was not hot at all... it wasn't even warm for that matter, everything had an after taste. My waffle was as hard as a brick, everything was bland and it just wasn't made with love and it showed. My friend ordered some type of scramble skillet with like spinach and the whole dish was as dry as the Sahara Desert. The spinach wasn't cooked well, and the funny part about her dish it was served in like a cast iron skillet with a hand mit to hold it with but guess what it wasn't hottttt. I could have grabbed the skillet from the bottom with my bare hands. Maybe the cast iron was just for show. Anywho, if you're trying to go to flavor town Don't come here. We actually left and went straight to Cracker Barrel. The 1 star out of 5 was definitely for the orange juice. The orange is delicious, it taste freshly squeezed and I love that. Other then that I have nothing nice to say, and I won't be returning or recommending. read more

Service (or lack of) with attitude ... seems they do their job but with no joy and no more than take your order (eventually) Manager sits are bar the entire time. What a waste... same manager for years no better service.... SLOW read more

DO NOT, I REPEAT DO NOT VISIT J. Christopher's located at 220 Starcadia Cir, Macon, GA 31210. If you send your food back because there was an issue with it do not expect to receive fresh food. They will bring you the same food you sent back. As a customer I have the option to not want real silverware in my food and opt for plastic so if I don't want real silverware in my food I shouldn't recieve backlash or paper in my grits for that. The only good part about my visit today was the host who was so hospitable and bubbly. I wish we could've had her as our server as she was the only person to check on us since our server ignored us the entire visit. Also make sure to check your receipts because our server tried to charge us for my meal that had been sent back and never eaten. read more

J Christopher's - the front of the restaurant - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Macon, Georgia

Woke up this morning wanting a good breakfast and a taste of something I've never had. I came across breakfast place in Macon that had wonderful reviews and tried them out. I ordered the blueberry crunch pancake, eggs and cheese, bacon, and homemade potatoes just to be simple. It was actually better than expected. The bacon was crispy but not too hard and the blueberry pancake with the granola came out to be a super nice mixer. They had a lot of good looking things on the menu including a dietary and healthy side. I plan to try something different next time. Also the wait wasn't too long and the staff were friendly and respectful. read more

Don't waste your money!!! Awful food! Atmosphere, cleanliness and service was fine. Food was flavorless, cold and stale, not even close to being worth the price!! read more

I have been here several times now, but I'm rating them three stars because they are inconsistent. Sometimes we go and the food is great. The omelettes are well seasoned, the pancakes are fluffy and full of granola, and the skillet is cooked well and comes out hot. Other times we come and the pancakes are flat and rubbery, EVERYTHING needs salt, and the food come out cold or lukewarm. The service is always pretty good, I've never had an order come out wrong. I wish they were more consistent because then this would be a 5 star breakfast spot! COVID may have something to do with this though, maybe they are training new cooks quite often with the shortage of people willing to work. Idk, but I will probably come back at some point, since there aren't many breakfast places outside of WH, HH, Cracked Barrel, and IHOP. read more

J Christopher's - Strawberry crepe, blueberry granola pancake, and two goddess omelettes. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Macon, Georgia

Very good place for brunch with a great selection. We also had very good service. I would definitely recommend going here for breakfast.

My husband and I just finished eating breakfast at this location. The two servers were both so sweet and gracious with big, genuine smiles. The food was very good. My husband had bacon, cheese grits, scrambled eggs and a blueberry crunch waffle that has granola for the crunch. I have to eat gluten free and it was so great to be able to eat a waffle too as they have GF waffles and toast. I also had bacon. It was all very delicious! We would definitely eat at this location again. read more

Food was okay, not good customer service at all. Employees standing around and not coming to take care of you. Best way to describe it is simply okay. read more

Grabbed a quick breakfast from here and it was pretty good. I got the goddess omelet and toast and grits. The grits are so good at first I thought they have me regular grits but I'm guessing they use cream cheese or a white cheese because they definitely had cheese in them. The omelet was good it came with tomatoes and pretty sure it's supposed to be egg white and has spinach but I wish it came with avocado. I love that this place uses preserves and not jelly because preserves taste so much better. That's all I really have for this one since I got it togo read more

Eggs Benedict and potatoes. Eggs were hard boiled and the ham was chewy. The potatoes were cold and hard in the middle.

Excellent. Service. We arrived just before noon on Sunday seated right away. Order came fairly quickly . Our waitress did an excellent job of checking on us at just the right time. Fairly busy as many folks were getting out of church. Nice atmosphere. Food was yummy read more

Great location. Cozy frame on the wall. Comfortable place. Good foods. Reasonable and affordable. Waitress and hostess were nice.

J. Christopher's is our favorite place to get breakfast at. Their to-go deliveries (via UberEats) have been super hot, which adds to the experience. For the price of their meals, they give a decent serving and have been incredibly tasty. So far, I've had the pantry feast, sausage and gravy, and strawberry crepes. Their french toast is decadent and moist, and they give a hefty serving for the sausage and gravy! I asked for eggs over easy on my sausage and gravy dish...and they gave me exactly that! (I absolutely hate it when restaurants overcook it!) My only complaint (minor) is that I wish there was more gravy on my plate! The best part, though, is the sausage links! read more

Very pleasant atmosphere with an interesting array of menu options. The staff was exceedingly pleasant. We will be back.

Server was nice and attentive. Eggs were cooked well. That's it for the positives. I had a skillet with potatoes, spinach, blue cheese crumbles and sun dried tomatoes. Potatoes seemed pulled from a bag, warmed on a griddle then everything else thrown in - result was dry. Husband had grits pie which he thought had been sitting under a heat lamp for too long - also dry. Food took a long time to come out - especially for what it was. The place was really busy - must be the location because we just did not understand the appeal. read more

I ate here twice because it was in my hotel. First night hamburger cold. We requested mayo n ketchup. We got mustard and had to wait around while they found some. Ate breakfast next morning and the eggs Benedict were the worst I've ever had. Also COLD! Never eat there again. read more

Have not been to J Christopher's in probably 5 years, because each time we would try the restaurant we were disappointed. Our server was very nice, just did not understand the duties of a server. The syrup dispenser handle was all sticky, the coffee cup still had lip stick on the cup. I had to clean my fork and spoon myself, may not have been dirty but they were both spotted up. My wife ordered the Eggs Benedict, supposed to be one of their specialty's. The plate looked very nice when it was brought to the table. Only problem was the eggs were hard boiled, not the way eggs benedict is to be prepared. Poor experience. Will probably be another 5 years before we try it again. If they are still there?? read more

This place is sooo mediocre! The only reason we go is because we're from Atlanta and this place reminds us of home. My food is never hot and fresh, nor my coffee. And my service is never anything special. You literally have to Ask for Everything. Creamer, sugar, napkins, preserve. I mean for me, I look for the server to Provide me with the basics without having to ask. If you know I have coffee and I'm requesting raw sugar, keep it coming. lol read more

Won't be back! Worst Chicken Cobb Salad I've ever had and couldn't eat it. Husbands burger was just ok but the potatoes were good.

Great breakfast on our way down to Florida. Server was attentive and friendly. Very close off 75. Will be back on next trip.

The service was average, but the food was subpar at best. The food was very bland with very little flavor. Was told that biscuits would be arriving in the next five minutes, but never came. read more

I ordered strawberry crepes and got a sweet omelette instead. My server didn't seem to know the difference because she asked what was wrong with it and when I told her it was too eggy, too thick and overcooked, she looked at me like I was stupid and said "it's an egg pastry." If you're ignorant to what a crepe should taste let alone look like, you have NO business serving them. They took it off of my bill but I sure as hell didn't appreciate the rudeness so early in the morning. read more

The place was empty and they told us it would be 45 minutes before we could order our food so we ordered drinks while we waited. 45 minutes went by then they told us it would be another 15 minutes. We then told them we understood the kitchen was short staffed. We then told them we would pay for the drinks so we could take our two small children somewhere else. I then heard the hostess talking rudely of my family to someone in the kitchen. My wife and I were going excited to eat somewhere new and we had high hopes for the food. I do not recommend this place. Worst service I have ever received at a restaurant. We watched over a dozen potential customers walk in and out as soon as they were told it would take an hour to order food even though there was plenty of seating available. We ended up taking the kids to the nearest waffle house that was packed with people we saw walk out of J Christopher's. read more

The service at this place is awful. Our waitress started out with telling us how tired that she was at 9:30am. We ordered as soon as she came to the table. We waited 35 minutes, watched ALL of the tables seated after us get their food, and never saw our waitress again. We have been here a few times and are yet to have a pleasant experience. We will not be back. read more

The food is pretty average here. They serve yesterdays breakfast potatoes. The staff makes things worse by following up with bad service. The staff congregates in the kitchen for 15 minutes at a time. After you get your food you won't see them until you are ready to leave. You have to flag one of them down to get refills and they give you attitude if they have to come to you more than twice. A good manager could straighten things out in a shift or 2. read more

Great spot for breakfast! My friends and i truly love the food and the waitstaff! Good place for families too!!

Very good service, excellent food, and a great atmosphere. Definitely recommend J Christopher's

Some friends of ours were going here for brunch and invited is to come along. The place was busy but there wasn't a wait when we got there so we got seated right away. We had a very pleasant waitress who took good care of us. I got the eggs "Benny" (eggs Benedict) which is my favorite breakfast meal of all time. It lived up the the expectations and was very enjoyable. My wife and friend got the Route 66 which is a corn beef hash skillet. My other friend got an omelette. And we got a shrimp & grits to share amongst the table. Everything was good and there was enough food that no one went home hungry. We will definitely go back again. read more

I do not recommend this place to anyone. The waitress was amazing and doing all that she could but the food was terrible. I ordered the Grits Pie substituting for turkey sausage but was still given pork! The breakfast potatoes were undercooked, turkey sausage platter was horrible. The grits were undercooked and not to my liking. Overall this place is crossed off my list. The service is amazing but the food is terrible read more

J Christopher's never disappoints for breakfast. Simply put, you can expect no frills, standard American breakfast...eggs, pancakes, waffles, grits. You won't find bottomless mimosas or bloody mary's here so I prefer to call this a breakfast rather than a brunch spot! Their menu also features lunch sandwiches and options but we've never gone for anything other than breakfast. read more

Whenever I was here with my friend in December 2019, she found a FINGERNAIL in her eggs. She even took a bite and chewed it up on accident and that is how she found it. To make it better, she told the waiter and they gave her 50% off.. so they still made her pay for it. A manager never came out either. So bad so do not go here. read more

Staff is not trained in proper contamination prevention. Server wore gloves and picked up a dirty glass by the top where someone drank. When he returned with fresh drinks in his gloved hand I asked if he had changed gloves after touching the soiled glass. He admitted he had not. This type of thing is unacceptable even without COVID 19. We cancelled our order and left. read more
