I had high hopes as I've heard great things about this place a few years ago. Well either its going down hill since then or the person who told me about it just doesn't have good taste. Their food reminded me of school food. The potatoe pancakes that u thought would be made there were nothing more than the French fries you buy at the Market that are essentially a smoothed tater tot. Sorry but that's not what a true potato pancake is. The eggs were dry and brownish from being overcooked. I got take out and although I gave a fair amount of time before I went to get it, and they weren't busy at all (which should have been the first red flag on a Saturday morning) I still had to wait a good 5 to 10 minutes.

Read moreChristopher's is our favorite spot. We are there weekly for either breakfast or lunch (sometimes, if it's been a hard week, we treat ourselves to both).

It's easily our favorite spot in Reading, top five favorite places to eat period.
Honestly I could gush about these guys for nine or ten more paragraphs but I'll just say if you're there in the morning, go for the potato pancakes. They're exceptional. In the afternoon, I personally love the turkey club. My wife is all about the tuna melt. No matter what you are in good hands and will...
