Christner’s Prime Steak & Lobster Celebrates 30 Years of Legendary Dining in Orlando

The Christner family is celebrating a milestone anniversary on June 9 to honor 30 years of legendary dining in Orlando at Christner’s Prime Steak & Lobster. In addition to myriad charities, foundations, and events supported throughout the years, the family-owned, award-winning restaurant generously opens the doors for a special fundraising celebration dinner to benefit two local charities of choice:

One hundred percent of the dining proceeds (excluding alcohol sales) on June 9, 2023, will be equally shared and donated to Aspire Health Partners and The Howard Phillips Center for Children & Families to aid in the greatest of needs for the area including mental health and support services for at-risk children and families.

The Christner family takes pride in the community. Outside of the restaurant, you can find the family giving back to local charities and organizations throughout Central Florida. From sponsorship to board membership, they believe that communities are only as strong as one builds them.

“We are truly honored by numerous awards and accolades over the past three decades and cherish them as much as the friendships and memories we have created along with the opportunity to in turn help others,” said Owner Alice Christner.

From the early days in the 1990s along a quiet Lee Road, a family-owned steakhouse legacy was emerging in Orlando. The modest, single building was previously known by a variety of names including Bakerstreet Grill, Tony Marino’s and Morgan’s Lobster House. Fast forward to 2000, the Christner family expanded the restaurant with a second neighboring building, formerly Straub’s and Nick’s Boat Yard, with the signature central lobby and porte-cochère.

The heart and soul of Christner’s began with Carole Christner and her late husband, Russ. Many of the founding principles and traditions stand today. Although, the official name of Christner’s Prime Steak & Lobster name debuted 10 years ago in 2013, the iconic restaurant has been owned and operated by the Christner family since 1993.

From USDA Prime Steaks, cold-water lobster tails, and a classic steakhouse menu features to the rich leather seating and low lighting, every day is a special occasion at Christner’s.
