    My expectations weren't very high since it wad attached to a has station, and when I got inside I didn't think there was any way they would seat our group of 8, but we got seated very quickly. They also had some outside seating, but it would have been pretty hot this time of year. The server was outstanding. The menu seemed pretty limited, but they do a great job with what they do. Every person in our party was very pleased with their meal, and appetizers. The only real downfall of this place is that they need a bigger store and more parking.

    Went for dinner. Place was packed but still didn’t take long to get seated. Very friendly staff! Great menu! We were very happy with our choices. Artichoke dip, Philly steak, Christi’s club and a patty melt. Food was great! Definitely will go back!!!

    We had tried to go to Beef O Brady’s, so everyone in our group could find something they liked. The power was out so they were unable to serve food. We asked the manager for a recommendation on where to go and he said to go to his buddy’s restaurant- Christo’s. He told us not to be sketched out with it being attached to a gas station. We got there and it was packed. We almost left but decided to see how long the wait would be- no wait! We sat right down and had amazing service. The food came out so fast and was delicious. Everyone loved what they ordered- I LOVED the fried corn- as did my son. I had a BBQ sandwich that was their special menu item that day and my mom got the shrimp po boy that she raved about. To our surprise, this man approached our table with a huge blue dragon stuffed animal. My 2 year old was shocked and so happy. We looked around and the other kids had animals too. We loved it all so much we went back the next night for dinner as well. The philly and Reuben are both great and we got repeat orders of the po boy and corn, of course. Here came the same man with a lion king stuffed animal! My sons whole day was made again. I believe they said the man’s name was Mr. Bill. Very sweet! Loved the staff attitudes. Don’t let the location or bar atmosphere fool you- there’s something for everyone!

    Best kept secret in PCB. My wife found out about it by asking the crew of the Sea Dragon Pirate Cruise for a spot they like to go to. We walked in and it looked live a dive bar on the inside, we knew we had just some place special. It was kid friendly and the food was amazing. My wife asked what kind of fish is in the fish tacos and our server said "Let's see what they brought in today" this instantly caused my wife to grin. The fish tacos were the best we'd ever had anywhere and the sauce really set them off. They also had your bar food staples and the wings were excellent. I almost hate to leave this review because I feel like I'm giving away an amazing secret of how awesome this place is.

    We stumbled upon this restaurant by accident and what a wonderful surprise it turned out to be! Don’t let its location (attached to the end of a gas/mini-market) deter you from enjoying some of the best food in PCB! From start to finish the experience was 5 stars! Our server, Villy, was friendly and offered suggestions on things to try… everything sounded great! We started with the artichoke and kale dip with fresh pita chips. It was served hot (including the chips) and was delicious. Creamy with chunks of fresh artichokes and bits of kale. For dinner we chose the chicken quesadillas from the appetizer menu. It was probably the most delicious quesadilla we’ve had in a long time. It was perfectly toasted, full of chicken, melted cheese, and delicious street corn among other ingredients. Whatever spices they use in the cooking process is savory with just a hint of gulf coast flavor. If a burger is more your style, you’ll love their juicy cooked to order all beef burgers. We will definitely be back the next time we are in PCB!

    As one would expect eating food at a place next to a gas station is suspect at best but I have to say. This is some of the best food I've had in PCB. The wings are amazing any of the seafood is also a winner. As for the service just go in and ask for Carly and she will set you up with one of the best meals you've ever had!

    Heard this place had good fresh food. Was in the area and the parking lot didn't look full so I went for it. Glad I did. Started off with the Broccoli Cheddar soup. Much better than Panera's. It was made from scratch and the flavor is worth returning for. I'm a hot wings guy. Haven't had many lately so I went for the 10 count with Hot BBQ sauce. As shown in the picture they are a good size and not prebattered. When my travels bring me back I'll try the dry rub next or the garlic parmesan. I usually don't drink the water in Panama City knowing the taste can ruin anyone's appetite. I noticed there was a water filtration system in the back of the building so I got a water and can report it is filtered and doesn't like Panama City Utility water. It's clean and fresh. Next I'll have an unsweetened ice tea. Water is safe here.

    Went to watch football on rivalry weekend and was blown away! The service was 5 star 🌟 and all the food was delicious and piping hot 🔥. They are excellent at what they do and it's by far the best spot to watch your favorite team play and get great food while you do it! Seminole fans have to try the"Noles Rolls", they are FANtastic! Go Noles!

    We are locals so this place like most, has a rhythm and vibe you have to hit in order to have a good experience. The staff is always awesome - yes they get overwhelmed and having worked in the biz for a while I know they are slammed a lot of the time and not in the best layout - environment to handle the rushes. No fault of theirs, but they always do a great job with us. The food has been almost always great. A few times where things were not plated well or a little undercooked etc, especially wings..but we keep coming back! Advice: come in right before rushes. You will suffer if you roll in with a party of 5+ at 7pm on a Saturday expecting to be sitting down and ordering and eating quickly. Time your visits with large parties. If you are a couple or party of 2 or 3 - sit at the bar. Bar staff is exceptional - they multitask and handle rushes way better than servers. Sit outside if weather is nice. Bring bug spray and spray legs and dab the ears to keep gnats away. Summary: as locals we have a bunch of places where we could choose from, we keep coming back to Christo’s for the food, service and atmosphere. They always have games on tons of TVs and servers will change a TV to your game if needed. Cheers and keep up the good work Christo’s…

    Hey! This place is an absolute pleasure of a sports bar, and an all-around amazing experience. 🍔 Burger Bliss (5/5): The hamburger was delicious, with a solid patty, although slightly overcooked for my taste (asked for medium, received medium-well). Nonetheless, the flavor was on point, and it was clear that quality ingredients were used. 🧅 Onion Ring Heaven (5/5): Let me tell you about the onion rings – they were nothing short of spectacular! The breading was super flaky and incredibly flavorful, making them the best onion rings I’ve ever had. A must-try! 🏟️ Atmosphere Perfection (5/5): The atmosphere here is just what you’d want in a sports bar. It’s lively, filled with the excitement, and has a great sense of camaraderie. Perfect for enjoying sports with friends and fellow fans, or just grabbing a quick bite! 🙌 Exceptional Service (5/5): The cherry on top of this experience was the exceptional service. The staff was attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to ensure our visit was enjoyable. In summary, this sports bar deserves a solid 5-star rating in every category. While the burger could have been slightly less cooked, the onion rings, atmosphere, and service more than made up for it. I’ll definitely be returning soon!

    This place has no shortage of workers, and it shows. Friendly smiles and greetings to all that enter. The staff could not be friendlier. The food was good, today I had the reuben and it was fresh, hot and served with a smile.

    First time visit to Christo’s Sports Bar. We have heard from locals and Facebook post about this place. Truly, this a must visit place if you are a local or just visiting. Note, I am a recent transplant to Panama City.

    I have to say this is best place we had in PCB. We got fresh fish taco with grill and fried. Either one are the best! The pasta salad is a hit too! They made it so fresh in the house and really take pride of their food. My daughter love the kids grilled cheese too! To be honest, I was a little hesitant to go in because it’s just next a gas station. They totally prove me wrong and I had the best ever in town! We will definitely come back next time when we are in PCB FL.

    Good place with fast friendly service. You can tell it's a local spot. It's attached to a gas station and is still packed busy. Good food with a solid menu and price point. You definitely won't be disappointed but also not blown away. I will be back though.

    I’ve been wanting to try this place for months and finally had the opportunity today at lunch. I will definitely be back again soon. My server, Kelsey, was top notch and treated me great. I went with her recommendations and couldn’t be happier. I had the blackened grouper special with pasta salad. Fish was cooked to perfection! Also had a side salad with I citrus vinaigrette dressing they make in house. I forgot to get a pick of the salad, but it was very fresh and tasty. I so wanted to try the she crab soup, but just didn’t have room.

    We went to Christo's today. It was AMAZING! We had the fried goat cheese, some wings, onion rings and the Redneck chicken sandwich (our favorite). Everything was delicious and the service was awesome. We even talked to the owner, she was great. We'll definitely be back. We do wish they were on the West end🤷🏽‍♀️😁 And $5 Budlight pitchers, YAY. We'll definitely be back, possibly this weekend.
