Chris’ Taverna (Lake Worth)
***** Chris’ Taverna, 6346 Lantana Road, Lake Worth, Florida 33463, (561) 964-4233.
Chris’ Taverna is a GREEK RESTAURANT…maybe 20 formica tables inside, 20 outside. You can order at/pickup at the counter…or you can be fancy and have a waitress/waiter take care of you. Menu/prices/loads of photos at www.christaverna.com. This is strictly a shorts/tee shirt ensemble kinda-joint.
Now…and I really mean this, outrageously delicious food. I have to rank the Greek salad ($8.95), gyro entree ($11.95-2 sides), souvlaki entree ($11.95-2 sides), grilled baby lamb chops entree ($20.95, 5 chops-2 sides) right up there with the best that I’ve had in a Greek joint.
Really, that simple.
Chris’ Taverna is open Monday-Thursday 11am-9pm, Friday-Saturday 11am-10pm, Sunday 5pm-9pm.
jeff, some of the best greek food ive ever eaten in florida. big portions and very reasonable prices. always busy with people.
best greek food going.
gyro is great.
jeff, chris’ is great. also you should checkout corelino’s coal oven pizza which just opened in the same center. great pizza, wings, pastries.
Jeff, I have never been to chris’ before but it sounds good. In my opinion the best Greek restaurant in Florida is Kostas’ in light house point. All the food is cooked by the owner and it is great you should check it out.
This has to be one of the best Greek restaurants in Florida. Great call here.
enormous portions, terrific lamb chops, sovalaki and gyro. reasonable prices.
hey jeff, i’m a regular at Chris’. the food is outstanding. on friday-saturday nights when the weather is good i’ll bet you that there are at least 20 tables outside, with people waiting. this restaurant is doing so well that they just took the empty store next store to their’s and are adding another 60 or so indoor seats.
you are 100% correct when you told people the food was excellent.
sensational food.
you can say that again”’
love the food
For $21 they have the Grecian Feast which is 3 broiled lamb chops, gyro and sovalaki and a Greek salad. It is delicious and there is enough food for 3 people.
The food is delicious. Some of the best gyro that I have ever eaten. Very fair pries. Quick service. Large portions. My wife and I were there last Saturday night and there was a 1/2 hour wait to get a table. Every table inside was taken and there must have been at least 15 tables outside also all taken. I understand that they are building onto the store and have taken the bay next to them so another 60 seats will be added.
This is an excellent Greek restaurant.
By far and away one of the best Greek joints in the area. Mounds of food for dirt cheap prices.
excellent.
jammed on a wed night.
Four of us went last night for dinner. The portions are enormous. The food is excellent. Same for the service. The prices super reasonable. We got there last night (Wed) around 6 pm and every table inside was busy with about 20 people eating out side. This is a really good restaurant.
jeff, i had gyro, sovalaki, and lamb chops, huge portion, thought food was ok but it was a bit on the salty side,
excellent lamb chops.
Chris’ Taverna is EXCELLENT! The gyros there… ah, no words to describe it. Saturday afternoons it can get quite packed, but you never have to wait too long to get your food.
First time this evening. The joint was jammed, with a 30 minute wait for a table. Food is delicious. Huge portions. Cheap prices. Had lamb chops, gyro that was best I’ve had in a very long time.
one of your best picks. great food priced right.
so right, great food and cheap prices.
lines all of the time should tell you something.
I don’t enjoy Chri’s as much as I use to before they added the new space. I think that when they are busy, they are handling too many people now. Food use to be great but last two outings were just fair.
Jeff, love this recommendation. food is outstanidng. thanks.
went tonight. 25 minute wait. inside and outside packed. while waiting saw tons of takeout orders. best gyro around.
This fellow Chris has a goldmine. 7 days a week it’s lines to get in. His food and portion size are terrific. His prices as reasonable as can be. One entree is enough food to easily feed two people.
Hey Jeff: Met you last night at Cris’s. The blog looks great.
I’ll tell you one thing. After dining at Cris’s for years and years and never even having a so/so meal last night was different. Maybe the chef was having a bad night. I had a gyro. The meat was dry and only warm. My wife had the stuffed pepper and tomato special. The filing was dry and they forget the sauce. Another in the party had to send their chicken back. It was cold. Even the kid with us couldn’t eat his meat gyro meal. We didn’t get our pita with taziki until our entrees came out and we had to ask for it. It was the first time that we had that waitress and alot was her fault but I hope Cris hasn’t grown too fast affecting his customer care. We’ll still give him another chance.
Again, your blog looks great and I’ll use it often as a reference.
Thanks.

Takeout this evening. Simply delicious.
Great pick.
Right up with the best.
Love the food.
thursday night, every table taken, 20 minutes wait. should tell you something.
jeff, delicious,
really good greek food. always busy.
i live right around the corner from chris’. i have never been in the center when it isnt busy. amazing over the years how the business kept out growing its space and kept getting better.
the food is very good.
excellent food. great value.
one of the best gyros around.
agree 1000 percent. gyros are great.
Gyros, souvlaki and lamb chops are delicious.
You obviously don’t know what top Greek food is all about.
The food here is over salted and not the best quality.
one of the best greek joints going.
food is very good.
best greek food around. huge portions very reasonable prices.
mg, you are so right. best around.
Love the food here.
Food is very good.
One bad observation, i eat there quite often and not once has the owner ever stopped by my table to say hello or offer my party anything. guys got great food but i think in the personality department he needs some heavy duty training.
Klj, my exact sentiments. Food is terrific but Chris the owner has nEver even once ever stopped by our table to say hello, the food is wonderful but it’s run like a factory, not one ounce of personal attention by the owner.
great food, owner is as boring as hell,
My husband and I eat here often. Food is always good. Have to agree with many here that the owner never applies personal attention to customers. Never has the guy ever stopped by our table to say anything.
First time eating there last night. 30 minute wait with every table inside and outside taken. Was well worth the wait. Delicious lamb chops, gyro, souvlaki platter. Hot fresh delicious pita bread. Reasonable prices and good casual style service. Will definitely be back and recommend to others.
I bit of a drive from Boca but worth the trip.
Great gyros.
Best Greek joint going.
Try it you will not be disappointed.
Food and prices are right. Portions are large. Chris Isn’t warm to customers. No personality. If he would visit tables customers would like this joint even more. Don’t get me wrong I love the food but the restaurant is run like an assembly line factory.,Chris liven up a bit and don’t take the customers for granted.
I stopped going there about 6 months ago.
Food is very good. The prices are very reasonable.
The owner takes his customers for granted.
You would think that this guy would stop by a table now and then to talk to people. Think gain. Maybe buy a dessert. Think again.
The guy has a great business but in my book he is a big loser.
Jeff,
Ate there last night.
They have an entree for 25 bucks with gyro, lamb chops and sovlaki that three of us were able to share. There was so much delicious food that we couldn’t believe it. It also came with 1 Greek salad which we shared. We also had what has to be the best calamari that I’ve ever tasted.
This is a fabulous restaurant and everyone should give it a try.
Read your review and comments. Ate there last night.
Terrific!
Great pick.
Terrific delicious gyro.
Have to rate Chris as one of the best Greek joints in S. Fl.
Big portions of delicious food at reasonable prices.
Always fresh and always busy.
GE ,
Got to agree with you 100 %.
Food, portions, price, service all terrific.
Check the prices from when Jeff first reviewed. Up now by about 25 percent.
Eat here a lot.

Jeff
This is one of your best picks.
The food is excellent as is the service. Big portions at reasonable prices.
I think most of you people are nuts. The gyro and other meats are as salty as hell.
Picked up food last night. Had the gyro, souvlaki and lamb chop platter. Right now it’s 4:23am and I’m throwing my guts up. Something I ate didn’t agree with me.
