Chris’ Taverna

Chris’ Taverna operates out of Boynton Lakes Plaza on North Congress Avenue, in the northern part of Boynton Beach away from the Intracoastal restaurant cluster downtown. It is the second location of a small, family-owned Greek and Mediterranean restaurant that traces back to 2004, with its original dining room in nearby Lake Worth. Both locations remain under the same family ownership, which keeps the operation to two restaurants total rather than a franchised or multi-market chain.

The menu draws on traditional Greek cooking, built around dishes like spanakopita, hummus, and eggplant dip alongside larger entrees, with the restaurant’s own pricing running from roughly $17.50 to $43 depending on the dish, putting it toward the higher end of Boynton Beach’s independent restaurant scene. The kitchen also accommodates vegetarian diners specifically, offering veggie wraps and salads in addition to the classic Greek appetizers, which is not always a given at restaurants built primarily around grilled meats and seafood.

Chris’ Taverna leans on ingredients sourced from local farmers’ markets, a detail the restaurant highlights on its own site, and the dining room itself is decorated with custom murals from artist Glenn Adkins, giving the space a more distinct, personal feel than a typical strip-plaza restaurant. That combination, a family recipe base paired with deliberate sourcing and original artwork, is part of why the restaurant has built a loyal following in Palm Beach County beyond just its two physical locations.

Beyond dine-in service, the restaurant offers online ordering for pickup, along with catering and private party service for larger groups, which has made it a fairly common choice for Boynton Beach residents planning office lunches or family celebrations rather than just a destination for a sit-down dinner. Hours run Monday through Thursday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., extending to 10 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, and a slightly later Sunday opening at 11:30 a.m. that runs until 9 p.m.

Because the Boynton Beach location sits in Boynton Lakes Plaza rather than along the waterfront corridor where most of the city’s other well-known independent restaurants cluster, it draws a different, more neighborhood-oriented crowd than places like Banana Boat or Prime Catch. For residents of the Congress Avenue corridor and the surrounding Boynton Lakes and Quantum Park neighborhoods, it functions as a nearby, reliably open option for Greek food that does not require a trip toward the coast, while still carrying the same family ownership and recipe base as the original Lake Worth location.
