is "Home of the Greek Salad King" and a great place
for family dining

From the days of former Boston
Red Sox announcer Ken Colemen proudly describing the "Home
of the Greek Salad King" in a 1970s advertisement to its
current presence as a huge, five dining room family restaurant,
Christo's is a well-known Brockton, Mass., landmark .
Best known for its Greek salad
with greens, cured olives, fresh tomatoes, a mountain of tasty
feta cheese and an incredible homemade dressing, this is the
signature must-try dish. The Greek-American menu has many high
quality selections, with standouts being the tender baked lamb
with rice pilaf and green beans, well-seasoned and ample shish
kebobs, an amazing crispy pizza that's not too greasy, a Moussaka
that's done right, and homemade baklava.
The dining rooms and bar are
huge to accommodate the constant crowds, and the service salt-of-the-earth
and efficient. The waitresses, in general, seem to go the extra
mile to treat children well and to be more than willing to fulfill
the "more feta cheese on the salad" request.
Christo's is clearly one of the
best family restaurants in the south of Boston region. The food,
service and dining rooms hearken back to another era when restaurants
looked like restaurants and you could leave with a full stomach
and wallet.
