Editorial Review for Champps – by Whitney Friedlander
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.

Food is very good, much tastier than you would expect at a "sports bar". Kind of noisy but that should be expected, service is decent

The food isn't world class -- or even Indy class (though large portions), and pricey, and the drinks probably the most expensive downtown ($4 for domestic bottled beer, $5+ for imports and not a large selection). The Rock Bottom across the street, and Ram down the street, have better food and less expensive drinks. But why do I keep going to Champps? The service is the best! I happened onto Champps last year to watch football, won a $50 gift certificate in a contest and spent it. My server was soooo nice, and seemed to be interested in me. I got $35 worth of food and drinks and tipped her the rest of the $50 certificate. She told me that was one of the best percentage tips she ever received and told me to come back. I did the next week, ran a $30 tab and tipped $20. I kept going back, and after about the 5th time we exchanged phone numbers and we became each other's best friend. So if you go to Champps ask for Meghan to serve you and be sure to tip her well.
Pros: Service, no smoking inside, lots of sports on TV
Cons: Walk far and/or pay to park, $$ food and drinks, quality of food
