Just as a flashy cover on a book often attracts us to pick it up and read it, the exterior of a restaurant usually has the same effect. Beautiful signage or a historic facade may draw us inside to discover delicious food. Of course, unassuming restaurants may not be the most attractive buildings in our city, but some of the best restaurants in Cincinnati definitely should not be judged by their exteriors. One such example is a hidden gem on the west side – Christine’s Casual Dining. This unique restaurant is as friendly as it gets and the food is simply amazing.

If you live on the west side of Cincinnati or have driven down Harrison Avenue recently, perhaps you've noticed Christine's Casual Dining.

The recognizable red roof hints at the building's former life as a fast food joint, but you'll be pleasantly surprised by the unique deliciousness waiting for you on the inside.
The restaurant is owned by a woman named Christine, whose lifelong dream has been to own her own business.

She's taken her Filipino roots, added in some midwestern charm, and created a comfortable restaurant with an eclectic and mouthwatering menu.
The interior of Christine's is perfectly casual, laid-back, and is perfect for dinner for two or a large family meal.

The dining room is spacious and inviting with a bar, TVs, and friendly staff.
The area on the side of the restaurant has also been maintained to create additional seating.
