We ate here on a couple of occasions. It’s a good, solid restaurant with a variety of dishes for lunch and supper. There is also a separate area that can accommodate a fairly large group or meeting. We give it three plates–you should give it a try!

Ray: I had the fried flounder plate with baked potato, side salad ($2 extra), and tea. The fish was fresh, plentiful, tasty and correctly fried, not greasy at all. The baked potato was huge and quite good. The side salad was also fresh and good, however the tomatoes were only ok. The meal came with a basket of hushpuppies which were hot and very tasty, and like the fish, not greasy at all. The tea was good, but unlike most places, Port Christopher’s only allows one free refill.
Tom: At least they serve it in solid, substantial, real glasses and they don’t have a stupid Coke logo or something else on them!
Ray: Pet peeve or something?
Tom: You think? Anyway, I had the new Orleans Pasta dish with sausage and shrimp on ziti. It was very good, with a dozen or so dime-sized shrimp. I used to think that was cheap but it seems to be a standard, given the paucity of shrimp in the curry dishes at Cha Da Tha! They could have given a bit more sausage, though–it looks like the sliced and diced about an inch of a sausage link. Mostly past, but, still, it was good.
On another occasion I had lunch, with a Phillie Cheese Steak sandwich with fries and a pickle spear. The sandwich was great–served open face, smothered with melted cheese over the steak and grilled onions. The fries were outstanding, not greasy, perfectly cooked with the skins on. The pickle was, well, a pickle. A bit small. A big ol’ Clausen spear would have made a perfect replacement.
Ray: The food at Port Christopher’s is served nice plates, but predictably the flatware was cheap stainless junk. I was also surprised to see that our lemon slices were brought to us not in a small bowl, but on top of a carry out drink cup lid..
Tom: Yeah–tacky. And, the napkin that comes with the cheesy stainless is large but sub-micron size in thickness, and no additional napkins were in sight.
Ray: That would not be a problem if you were not such a slob!
Tom: Yeah, yeah…
Ray: Port Christopher’s has a nice nautical decor, including a huge lobster in the dining room and a pirate statue out front to greet you. The lanterns at each table, and the dark wood add an even more nautical feel to the place.
The service was fast and accurate.
Tom: I like the nautical knick-knacks as well. Restroom was spotless and well appointed. There is a nice outside eating area, too, for nice weather “sea-faring.”
Ray: Port Christopher’s is a good place with reasonable prices. The environment is comfortable, and the service good. I would recommend Port Christopher’s to anyone looking for good seafood at reasonable prices in a nautical atmosphere.
Tom: Yes, and check out some of the other dishes–it’s not all fishes. A good family or group place as well.
