Christy’s Tasty Queen

I haven’t found anything there that isn’t delicious. you know what they say — it’s the hole in the wall places that have the best food. this applies perfectly to christys. it is a good idea to order about 30 minutes ahead of time though (it can get a little crowded and there’s not much waiting room) Secondly, they have some amazing shakes. Check this place out if you want yourself a delicious, hangover curing burger.

Got a the famous pork tenderloin sandwich. It was very good. The breaking was light and crispy, and the pork was juicy and tender. For $ 6.85, you got s TON of pork, with the bun covering barely half of the pork. A great dive spot that is a must stop for tenderloin junkies. It was a little difficult to eat just because of the size and shape of the sandwich, but well worth the difficulties

Christy’s was an unknown lunch spot to my boyfriend and I. I looked at Unilocal to see what was close by, as we do a lot of work in the area Christy’s is located in. My boyfriend was very happy I found this lunch dive and we were both surprised we had never been before. I was in the mood for a single cheeseburger with bacon. All their burgers come with raw onions (just how I like it), mustard and pickles. The burger itself is thin and a very good size. Reminded me of a steak burger that has crispy edges. I knew after reading reviews that trying the tenderloin burger was a must and that’s what this joint is known for. I knew this would please my man, as he loves tenderloin burgers. You can get it grilled or breaded and fried. He opted for the breaded version which is the way to go. It is HUGE! Very crispy and crusty on the outside but juicy and tender with every crunchy bite! Very good. Two people can easily split this. Next time we come back, and we will be back, we are just going to order one tenderloin sandwich and split it. Plus feeding two people, it saves us money. We were very happy with both our orders. For sides we got the cheese bites which were also great. Very creamy white cheese deep fried. Secondly we got the onion rings. They were great. It’s a hole in the wall, reasonable prices and good simple food. I didn’t give it five stars simply bc it’s not a fancy pants kind of place but you will come back for the food. No indoor seating but you can eat at some picnic tables or in your car. The parking lot was packed with regulars getting their fix. They are also known for their shakes and malts. Every regular ordered one so that must say a lot. We will be trying one next time. It’s really good and I liked how the employees greeted customers by their names. The locals love Christy’s! Give it a try!

Nothing fancy, just great burgers at a great price. Staff is friendly and food is made fresh. Highly recommended.

Got the boss to buy lunch, I had the number in my phone so I called and started ordering. It’s my birthday tomorrow so I made my drink a shake and passed the phone. The four of us work street construction so I grabbed the bosses keys and card.

Eh
Nothing spectacular but nothing about the food to complain about.
The restaurant is disgusting and needs a severe cleaning and fresh paint.

My first time at Christy’s Tasty Queen was on Friday. The quest for a good pork tenderloin sandwich is what led me here. Oh my! My expectations were blown away. The pork tenderloin wasn’t just good, it is out of this world great! Now, they call it a sandwich but the bun is way too small. Actually this works well because the tenderloin is so good you really don’t need the bread. What is missing from this heavenly delight is horseradish. Even so, this pork tenderloin is amazing!!! Christy’s is carry out only but there are some picnic tables for the nice weather days. Give
it a try. You won’t be disappointed!

Conveying my order through iron bars seemed alittle odd, must be a disorderly neighborhood. Other than that, this place is what you would expected from a hole-​in-​the-​wall burger joint. Excellent double-​cheeseburger.

Love this place. We stopped for dinner. This is the best tenderloin in the world. The cheeseburgers are great too. Always love the onion rings.

Thanks Unilocalers for the insight to Christie’s. Well worth it. If you go get the tenderloin it was very good not tough at all to big for the bun but good any way.

Tenderloin and rings are great. I tried a double cheeseburger once and was dissapointed after usually getting tenderloins. For the money, the tenderloin is where it’s at. If this were a review on tenderloins alone, it would be five stars. Best tenderloin in KC

The malts are the BOMB! If you get nothing else here ever, get a chocolate malt!
They are great for fries, burgers, and even taco salad! If you are into quick hole in the wall diner food try em out!

A burger and 11 tatar tots cost $ 6.06 I won’t be going back. FOOD IS JUST OK. Look at my pictures for proof.

OK, let me start by saying it will be difficult to find adjectives to describe my utter glee at «finding» Christi’s. I really can’t say I found it, because they’ve been in business 40+ years. But suffice it to say I would have been bitterly disappointed if I had gone another 40 years and not partaken of this goodness!
Christi’s is located in Kansas City, KS, on 55^th Street, just north of Metropolitan Ave, on the east side of the road. This is the epitome of the «greasy spoon», if you will. It’s a small, unassuming building which is set up for take out only. Aanndd they’re famous for their tenderloin.
It had my attention at ‘tender’.
The prices at Christi’s are very reasonable and a couple of other patrons applauded my decision to try the tenderloin. Because of the price, (which I don’t remember, quite frankly!), I thought this would be your regular, everyday, «regular» sized sammich. The husband took the food outside while I waited for our drinks. At this point, I still have no idea of what I’m about to see.
As I mentioned, Christi’s is take out only and there are three picnic tables to dine on, should you choose. So I go skipping outside with the drinks and I see a bed sheet nestled in between two buns. That tenderloin was INSANE! Not only was it large enough to cover a Hybrid, it was oohh so tender and tasty and crunchy and good and big and wonderful and …
Did I mention it was big?
We both just started eating the tenderloin and making our way to this pebble sized bun. OK, the bun was regular sized, but even Fred Flintstone would freak over the tenderloin size! And it was so incredibly tasty, it would make one have impure thoughts. (Let your imagination go with that comment…). There were moans of enjoyment a d frequent cries to Jesus as we consumed this truly decadent sammich.
In addition, since the husband and I were both starved and clearly in need of additional nourishment, we got additional items. I got a «regular» hamburger and tots while Damian got a grilled cheese sandwich and curly que fries. I also got a vanilla shake while Damian got a chocolate malt. Let’s just say we were satisfied.
We actually met Christi when we there, as she was greeting and waiting on customers. She thanked us foe coming and asked us to come back. Yeah, that won’t be an issue. Christi’s gets two snaps in T formation!

Although a tiny place that you might drive by several times without noticing, it pays off with tasty food at reasonable prices!
I had the ham and cheese sandwich (about four bucks) and was pleasantly surprised at how filling it was. It came on a hamburger bun with three thick slices of grilled ham and a slice of melty American cheese. I will certainly be going back to try a little bit of everything on the menu.
*** Be prepared to wait in line even if you call ahead.

After recently having a tenderloin at Miss Kitty’s I must again aver that Christy’s Tasty Queen is arguably, The BEST, tenderloin in Kansas City. I just recently had a nother one of these heaven-​sent, porcine pretties and my mouth went into orgasmic fits… love, love, love me some Christy’s Tasty Queen Tenderloins. Keep it coming on! Keep it coming on! as KC and the Sunshine Band would say!

I’d heard about this place for awhile and always miss the good tenderloins I’d get from a diner back home. My folks & I have given this place a few tries, but have left underwhelmed each time. This place is busy… they obviously have strong customer loyalty, but I sure can’t see the big deal. The cracker crust on the tenderloins is grody. Prices are ok. It’s some place I can tolerate, but don’t crave.

Christy’s Tasty Queen is an unassuming, unpretentious throwback to roadside diners of the 60s and 70s. I have no idea how good most of the food on their menu is, because there’s really only one reason you should go here, and that’s to consume the best tenderloin you’ve ever had.
The tenderloins are made fresh, soaked in buttermilk, and breaded with crushed saltine crackers. They’re huge, crispy, and incredibly tender. I pair them with a side of tater tots, and a large drink in a 32oz styrofoam cup, just as god intended.

I came here before noon on a weekday, having been advised that the line gets long after 11:30 or so. Thanks for the heads up, as it was true. My Mini Cooper suffered in comparison to all of the pickup trucks here with dualies, but that’s didn’t bother me once I tasted the food. Of course, I got the breaded pork tenderloin sandwich. How could you not? I drive from Chicago to KC regularly, which puts me through tenderloin alley in Iowa. I suspect that this version supplied by Christy’s is the real deal. I ate around back on one of the picnic tables. I sort of enjoyed this ambiancial detour. The tenderloin was crisp, tasty, hot and a bargain. The next time I make the drive from Chicago, I’ll definitely attempt to make a pitstop for Christy’s.

You must get the Tenderloin and seasoned curly fries. I also love their Shakes if you can afford them (Large is around 5 dollars) But also love their tacos. Unlike Taco Bell there is actually beef in these Tacos… Not just lettuce with a few blades of cheese.
I would change them being open on Sundays.
