SEPTEMBER 29 - OCTOBER 5, 2021 UCW 21 Best of Fayetteville Best Steakhouse Chris's Steak and Seafood House 2620 Raeford Road 910-778-5319 or www.fayettevillesteakhouse.com When Chris Poulos opened the now legendary restaurant more than 50 years ago, he had one thing in mind: Serve the highest quality steaks and seafood available any- where without compromise. This vision and a passion for great food and exceptional service have been the cornerstone of the restaurant's success. The establishment was built as a barbecue lodge in 1952 in Highland Village, Fayetteville's first shopping center. In 1958, with the addition of the open hearth and beautiful copper hood, it became a steak house. By 1960, it again changed hands and became an Italian restaurant. In December 1963, Chris Poulos purchased the business and returned it to its "good old American" steak house status, with one goal in mind, "to give you your money's worth … without cutting corners or quality." The current owner Greg Kalevas joined Chris's more than 38 years ago as an apprentice. He was eager to learn, working side by side Chris and his son, Luke. Kalevas quickly became a partner and eventual owner after Chris's retirement. The restaurant strives to provide guests exceptional service and a high-quality dining experience, carrying on Chris's tradition by offering guests the finest in- house, hand-cut Angus and U.S.D.A. Beef, cooked to perfection over hardwood coals in our open hearth. Guests may also enjoy the freshest Atlantic seafood, homemade specialties, and an extensive selection of fine wines. Just one visit to Chris's Steak House and you'll see why they have had such a tradition of excel- lence in the Fayetteville community.
