What People Are Saying About Champps Americana

Featured Review

In Short – Using their original burgers-and-beer joint in St. Paul, Minn., as a base modl, this sports-themed chain is now a popular hangout for all ages nationwide. The memorabilia-loaded space is crowded with families and friends chatting over chili cheeseburgers, bourbon-glazed pork chops and large orders of soups and salads. On major game nights, the shiny wooden bar area is packed with small groups eyeing the monitors above while cheering or grumbling into their pints and fries.

  3. Great atmosphere.
  4. The service was friendly and effective, the decor of the club was pretty charming, but the food was definitely questionable.

  1. Seems like a fun place for drinks, but I doubt I'll eat there again.
  2. This HUGE place has a nice split of dining and bar atmospheres.
  3. Its my favorite bar to go to after work and meet my girlfriends, BUT something has to be done about the air conditioning, or lack it!
  4. (and yes, I have said something to management, but to no avail :( But for the most part (except for one experience with a rude bartender), the service is great at the bar!
  5. afternoons/evenings. Its those windows that look so lovely that create a greenhouse effect on us poor saps at the bar.
  6. The bar section is nice and there are great meeting opportunities, i.e. good looking men and women abound.

Yum and Fun

by HoustonTexReview , Citysearch Contributor

Champps has excellent service for Sunday brunch, and the food is always delicious. We had grilled salmon, fresh buttery vegetables, and lucious mashed potatoes instead of the huge buffet. You will take a home a doggy bag, so lighten up on ordering the appetizers.

My guy friends love the social bar set-up and the music which gives this place more energy than other sports bars. The service at the bar is not as good as the service in the dining area.

Champp's also has great burger specials on Mondays, so sign up for their e-newsletters.

What a nice surprise

by sheilabac

It was a beautiful day and my family wanted to sit outside for lunch. I had gotten a $10 gift card from Champps, so I suggested we try it.

Everything was much better than we expected. The menu is varied and there is something for everyone's taste. My gyro is very good, my son-in-law praised his double burger as better than his own version. That is one huge compliment from him. My daughter had the tortilla soup and Greek Chicken Salad, and both were delicious.

Every dish we saw being served looked extremely appetizing, and the portions are easily shareable.

We got there on noon on a Wed. and found parking, and were seated immediately.

The service couldn't have been better.

Our only complaint was the umbrellas don't work. They were damaged during Ike. Hopefully, management with rectify that quickly. Though it's only April, it was very warm outside today.

We will definitely be back.

  • Pros: Great food, service and prices
  • Cons: Outside umbrellas weren't working

Worth a visit

by jumbosrule

This HUGE place has a nice split of dining and bar atmospheres. If you are going to eat, the prices are a bit high for the food quality, but the slection is large and the things I have ordered have been good. Service is average which only stings when you remember the prices. I hope the management continues to improve their employee quality so that I can become a more frequent patron. The bar section is nice and there are great meeting opportunities, i.e. good looking men and women abound.

  • Pros: Atmosphere, Food Selection
  • Cons: Price
