Champps Entertainment

It's okay... I had a burger, the guac burger, was craving something really good and juicy and it just didn't hit the spot.  My friend had the steak and shrimp, he said the cut of meat wasn't that great..  I dunno... Just nothing super fab about this place.  They have some good beers on tap but they're kind of expensive..  I would probably chose this place over some of the other chain type restaurants on Hall Rd.  Just zero wow factor..  Eh...

Champps has an ambiance and atmosphere that many families and friends gravitate to. Plenty of TV screens with sports, and a clean, classy upscale sports bar feel. We ate here on a Saturday evening and the place was packed. Our appetizer sampler was pretty good. At $16.49 it was steep but we needed those mozzarella sticks, tenders, wings, and loaded potato skins to rev our famished engines. Our waitress was nice and meant well, but only remembered to ask us for water refills at the end of our meal. Happens when the place is busy, I understand. My blue cheese burger was huge. A nice, juicy, medium rare patty topped with plenty of chunky blue cheese and bacon. The waffle fries were excellent. My wife ordered roasted artichoke pasta and was disappointed. For $15, there was hardly even a USDA portion of chicken. It is bad when you have to ration the meat in your meal. It's worse when you have to dig around to even find some. Her experience was the latter. The waitress brought my Dad's soup out very late - don't know if it was her mistake or the kitchen, but they did take the soup off the bill - no charge, no foul.

Overall, this is a sports bar where they pass on the cost of the uppity sports bar vibe into their steeper pricing. Picking up a group tab here can run a middle class guy a bad case of sticker shock, that is for sure. If it were not for the juicy burgers, I would have gave this place 2-stars. I would grab a good burger and fries here for under $10, but their pastas and most other dishes are small portions, skimpy on the meat, and over priced.

Went there Sat night for a company Christmas party. Parking lot was full so i thought great place....so wrong!!! Had an average dinning experience,however when we returned to our car some "no good pice of s#$@" decided to help himself to my catalytic converter. Did not need to file a police report because we have plpd insurance. Sunday went and purchased new parts and welded them in the car. all in all about $130 in part. Called the restaurant and asked if the would possible want to offer some sort of compensation and was explained of all the crime they have had in the last 12 months and i they compensated all the people that had been robbed they would be of business..... i was only looking for the place to save face, not to cover my repair bill.
If any one goes there ask your hostess if you auto is safe....IT"S NOT!!!! I will never dine at this place or any i the chain. Very unhappy in how the manager treated us!!!!
