After 50 years in Lorain, Chris’ Restaurant on the Lake is still delighting the palates of hungry Lorain County residents.
Located at 2812 West Erie Ave., Chris’ Restaurant has been a staple in the community since it first opened its doors on Pearl Avenue in April 1964.
The business later moved to its West Erie Ave. location in 1981.
Started by Chris Monofski, a former longtime Lorain resident, Chris’ Restaurant has over the years turned into a family business with his wife Delores, son-in-law Pepi Danailovski, and grandsons Nick and Phillip stepping up to help run the business from day-to-day.
Monofski said Danailovski has especially stepped up in the business, hand-making all the specials and serving as his right hand man.
“Pepi has been with the business for 25 years,” Monofski said. “His specials have truly helped to make the restaurant special.”
Although some of their more popular dishes like homemade Hungarian chicken paprikash aren’t served daily, one dish that is always available to Chris’ customers is their Lake Erie perch dinner, coated with the restaurant’s specialty breading and served with soup, potatoes and a side dish.
“Our homemade Hungarian chicken paprikash is served on Wednesdays and Sundays, but our Lake Erie yellow perch is served all day, every day,” he said. “The great thing about Chris’ is that when customers come here, they know they are getting a complete meal and won’t leave hungry.”
In keeping with the eatery’s shoreline theme, Monofski said the restaurant also offers its patrons grilled salmon, breaded walleyed pike, tilapia, and the ever-popular fish and chips.
Other notable dishes at Chris’ include a 12-ounce Monster Burger, half-pound hamburger, country fried steak, breaded pork chops, and a 12-ounce Boston strip steak.
Apart from an eclectic menu and Danailovski’s specials, Monofski said one other thing that makes the business unique is its customers.
“We’ve had longtime customers who have over the years brought generations of their families to Chris’,” Monofski added. “We really do have the best customers and we can’t thank them enough for staying with us through these 50 years.”
When asked how the business has been able to stay in business for so long, Chris only had one thing to say.
“We’ve been able to stay in business so long because we serve good food at great prices.”
Chris’ Restaurant on the Lake is open Tuesday through Sunday from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.
