About J.Christopher's
In 1996, Jay McCann and Chris Brogdon hatched a new idea for a different restaurant concept: a neighborhood daytime breakfast and lunch featuring traditional house-made favorites, healthy choices, and creative menu options in a comfortable, friendly atmosphere. This tall order was filled when the first J. Christopher’s restaurant opened in Marietta, GA in January 1997. J. Christopher’s has been expanding ever since, with 24 restaurants now in operation, satisfying millions of taste buds every day.
