Chris's Open Hearth Steak House

First time visiting on the recommendation of a friend. Came on a Wednesday close to opening time. We were seated immediately by a friendly hostess, and greeted at our table by our very informative waitress. To start off, we didn't have to wait at all for our drink order and our glasses never reached empty due to the attentiveness of our waitress. I ordered the 12oz Ribeye with sweet potato and a Greek salad. Steak was cooked perfectly medium-tare, excellent flavor with no need for any sauce. Sweet potato was super soft and delicious, perfectly cooked through but not burnt. My parents both got the prime rib which they said was excellent as well. From the service to the food, we were very impressed and will certainly be back!

The service was great. My top sirloin was perfectly cooked and delicious. Twice baked potatoe was okay nothing to rave about. The fried calamari appetizer typical frozen restaurant stuff sauce was weird. The side of scallops for $15 extra was pathetic 5 tiny scallops tasted and had the texture of frozen scallops put directly on the grill to sear no taste whatsoever. My pear Collins was delicious. This would have been a good place to eat if the price met the quality 3 people$200 was not worth it. The weirdest part was the glob of cheese wìz and saltine crackers at the beginning of the meal

This white table cloth "upscale" steakhouse is a IHOP in disguise. First impressions are everything and when the first food you see is left over on your fork from the person before you then you know you are about to spend way to much money and be mad, and hungry when you leave. The vibe is Ruth Chris but the quality is Ruthless Chris. From the wrapped crackers to the butter and sour cream pre packaged it's everything you would expect from a late night drunken binge at a Waffle House or IHOP. Only not good. For 30 to 50 dollar steaks you would expect freshly grated cheese and cracked pepper. Be prepared for Walmart bag cheese and a salad you would get at any local cafeteria. It's a hoax.

Came to Chris' seeking a high end steakhouse experience and left feeling quite disappointed. All around the experience was lacking on the fine dining details that are needed from a white table cloth steakhouse. My partner and I grabbed drinks in the bar before sitting down for dinner at our table. Our cocktails were good but the service was slow. The hostess was extremely rude as she escorted us to our table. The environment is very dated, hasn't been updated in years. Our server took some time to great us and started by informing us that the restaurant was out of several things including salad dressing and fresh bread. The bread that was brought out was a joke, I honestly think they brought us cheese wiz! Our steaks were definitely not PRIME, they were likely Choice beef. Nothing about our food, service or experience screamed fine dining but was really disappointing given that Fayetteville really doesn't have many options for a nice fine dining place. I hope to see some serious improvements from Chris'!

Once again our service and food was great once again! Thank you Greg for a perfect steak and a great experience!

The service was just ok, at best. The food was unsatisfactory. To serve captains wafer crackers and a gob of cheese as a complimentary appetizer is in poor taste with such a high dollar menu. The calamari was sitting in a plate of grease. The salad was withered. My prime rib was unrecognizable, had to send it back. On top of all this there was a fly in the restaurant. We had to fight to keep him from landing on our food. I do not recommend, and I won't be returning!

I had done some research on this place a while back looking for a Christmas gift certificates and saw it was pretty good. Finally got to visit it! Very cool décor. Nice atmosphere with dining area and a big bar area. Noticed outside seating too for when the weather is niceOthers have noted the cheese and crackers. I thought given that they are a higher end steak house this was a bit strange however the cheese was good. We started with meatballs and stuffed mushrooms. Meatballs were awesome! Great red sauce and flavor in the meat. The mushrooms were ok. Seemed to lack a little flavor. We then moved on to the wedge salad. Great flavors. Just the right amount of dressing and lots of bacon! Then Deb and I split the Ribeye. It was cooked perfectly. Good flavors. Delicious. The side of onion rings were great too. Nice and crispy. The service was great. Food was brought out in good time. Overall a good experience

Wow! There's a reason this place has been around for nearly 6 decades! Food, service, ambience- all excellent! My dining partner and I arrived without reservations, but since there were only 2 of us, we were seated very quickly at a comfortable spot. While the place was buzzing, it wasn't packed.Our server Ashley brought us menus and let us look over the menu, we both ordered beers to start, which were brought with cheese dip and wrapped crackers and breadsticks- not necessarily 5-star, but very old school and much enjoyed- You can't go wrong with Captain's Wafers! I ordered a Shrimp Cocktail, and a NY Strip with a baked potato and I upgraded to a Wedge Salad. I love a good, old school Wedge, and this one was delicious. Shrimp cocktail was good as well, the cocktail sauce had a perfect horseradish bite to it. My steak arrived on a sizzling steel platter, cooked to absolute perfection- I always orde my steak Medium Rare Plus- and they got it right. Plus it was a very nice cut of meat. I shared a nice bottle of wine with my dining partner. Our server Ashley was friendly and funny, and helped make our visit perfect. We were both too full for dessert, but we were pleasantly satiated and didn't need it anyway. I love this place- old school, but not pretentious, comfortable and not stuffy. If I lived in Fayetteville, I would be here often.

Best steak I have ever had! My meal and my entire party's meals were cooked to perfection. The service was impeccable. My family was there for New Years Eve dinner and the restaurant was busy beyond belief; however, our appetizers were delivered quickly and entrees weren't far behind. I could not believe how amazingly smooth the food service was for the staff on New Year's Eve. In addition, the ambiance was very relaxing and the restaurant was beautifully decorated. Chris's Steakhouse is a MUST TRY! I plan to dine there again soon. Thanks for a great experience and amazing customer service.

Been here once and I wouldn't recommend this place. Asked the server if they had Icewine because my wife loves that stuff, but the server laughed and said he could put ice in the wine we order...not sure if that was a jest or he was trying to be accommodating, besides that he was pretty attentive. The food wasn't great, steak was mediocre and lacking flavor, nothing to write home about. But their stuff mushroom was nasty as if it was microwaved up, we couldn't even finish one piece. It's like they just bought it from across the street at Harris Teether and just heated them up. Overall, it was a very disappointing experience.
