Some restaurants feed you. Christopher’s Eats in Huntington, West Virginia does something more — it takes care of you, from the first sip of a handcrafted cocktail to the last bite of a coal oven flatbread made entirely from scratch. 🍕🍹
This family-owned Huntington restaurant has built a loyal following by doing the kind of slow, intentional cooking that chain restaurants simply cannot replicate — and the community has shown up for it in a big way.
How Christopher’s Eats Won Huntington’s Hearts
Christopher’s Eats opened with a mission that was equal parts personal and purposeful: serve fresh, scratch-made Americana cuisine while sourcing as many local West Virginia ingredients as possible.
The restaurant moved locations a couple of times, finding its permanent home along US Route 60, where it settled into a beautifully designed upscale-casual space complete with a martini bar and handcrafted cocktail program that became a destination in its own right.
The West Virginia Americana dining scene got a genuine upgrade when Christopher’s committed to its coal oven flatbread program — artisan creations that reviewers rave about, calling dishes like the poached pear and goat cheese flatbread “so good I’ll be returning as soon as possible.”
Brunch became its own event at Christopher’s, with a Sunday lineup that draws crowds for scratch biscuits, crab cake benedicts, and golden brioche French toast — earning it a reputation as one of the finest Sunday brunch spots in Huntington WV. ☕🥞
Reviewers have driven from Ohio just to eat here, with one diner calling it “the best food and atmosphere I’ve found in more exotic places around the country” — and another simply declaring the bison burger “top notch.”
What makes Christopher’s truly special, though, is the balance it strikes between upscale and welcoming — it feels like a special occasion restaurant that’s also completely comfortable for a Tuesday lunch, and that rare quality has made it a genuine Huntington institution. 🏡
