Overlooked, underrated because of the ""sports bar"" title, Champps fails to boast their scratch kitchen. That means most food is prepared from scratch. No cans of soup, jars of sauce, bags of frozen chicken or bottles of dressing are used. The food is wonderful, pleasing to the eye, flavorful & served in heaping giant sized portions. I recommend the spinach & artichoke dip as an appetizer. The walnut crusted chicken & grilled cobb salad are excellent. For dessert, I love the messy sundae. Champps isn't cheap, but two people can fill up on one entre and dessert. The bar serves a a good variety of draft and bottled beers. Wine selction is good. Service is prompt and friendly. Many TV screens playing all sorts of sports means you'll always find your favorite on one of the screens. Happy hours are always a ""happening"" place. I've never been disappointed at Champps.
Pros: great food, atmosphere, service
Cons: can get crowded, not inexpensive, can get loud
