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
