This is our Go-To place to watch big sporting events. Warm and friendly service always. The busy kitchen is open and can be observed. Their menu is constantly updated and there is something for everyone. The artichoke dip and chili are our favorites. They actually have really good tacos. I get something different almost every time I go. The desserts are very generously portioned. Thankful that we can always count on a great experience at this place every time we go. read more

Typical Bar food, great service despite large group of 21. Our daughter's basketball team was in town for a tournament and this spot was just walking distance from our hotel room - ultra convenient. I called the week before to request a reservation and the manager was very accommodating and let us know what times he could squeeze us in.

Been here many times. Lots of good at this place. Parking is easy - it's attached to a hotel so there's a big lot. We came early on a week night so it wasn't busy and we were seated right away. [[HIGHLIGHT]]During sports on TV this place can fill up and be a bit noisy so if you're looking for quiet, prob not during a Packer game or other big sporting events.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] First off, they had Sprite Zero!! Not many places have sugarfree caffeine free soda so I was over the moon. We started with some cheese curds which were very good. They were batter dipped not breaded (I prefer batter dipped). I had the biria tacos. I did find them greasy (as biria tacos can be) but also didn't find a lot of flavor in the dipping consommé. For me these were just ok. Not sure I would get them again. There are plenty of other choices in the menu - you won't run out of things to try. My friend got the half sandwich and soup combo. It was a lot of food. She took quite a bit home. Over all it's a great place to go whether it's a planned night out or spur of the moment stop. Never had bad service here! read more

Dined here on a Packer-free Sunday and had a great experience. I met two others for lunch and everyone enjoyed. The staff was very friendly as I had a baby stroller with me and showed me the ramp to take to the dining area versus the stairs to the main dining area. The place is ADA complaint from what I saw. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There is no shortage of televisions and sports! They even had a printed diagram on every table noting which tvs had what games playing.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We didn't come for sports, but I could tell those gathered around the large main bar were. They have a great food selection and lots of beer on tap! I went with a burger and soup. They have several soups always ready plus a rotating daily soup. We enjoyed bloody Mary's which were good, they do charge for a chaser...which come on we're in WI! The food was good and service was great as we had a little one with us and patience was key. They didn't rush us either, as we dined and chatted for a few hours. I would return as there were a few other sandwiches on their menu that sounded delicious! It appears they have a private room available for rent as well. Note for mothers; there is a changing table for children in the women's bathroom. read more

Was just okay during this visit. Maybe the items are better when ordered on their own? This is the third time I've had the potato skins but first via the sampler and they were not as good as the first two times. The curds and chicken tenders were good but only thing worth while on the sampler - so would be better off ordering separately! Service was also okay. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We were seated in the bar section which was really loud, right upon seating she tried getting our full order in (not just drinks) we didn't even have our coats fully unsettled.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My friend asked where the bathroom was after placing drink order and stating we needed more time with the menu. The instant she sat back down from the bathroom the waitress came back trying to get our food order... we noted she just got back from the bathroom and we would probably need a few minutes to review- it's a big menu! Well that resulted in a 10 plus minute wait! From rushed to order to what is time?! Previous experiences have been good here and this was a similar time later evening so not sure why food/service just didn't meet the same. read more

Stopped in cause we had a gift card. It's been many years since I've been here. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This place is huge and great for big groups, large bar with an even larger tap list so I love that.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We don't live close by otherwise maybe we'd come more often. Ordered an app sampler and honestly that could've been our whole dinner, it was very good but also huge portions. We also ordered a bacon cheeseburger to share and took home a pizza. The pizza was probably my least favorite. It wasn't bad, I just prefer thin crust read more

Champps was in walking distance of our hotel so we gave it a shot. The host was friendly when we entered and we were seated right away. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a sports bar vibes, lots of tvs so football Sunday is a go.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our waitress was very attentive and made sure to answer any questions we had. We ordered chips and queso to start and the queso was really good. Seasoned and cheesy perfection and the chips were served warmed. The tacos I had were a Korean beef and it came with jasmine rice. I enjoyed the fusion tacos. It was an enjoyable lunch if im ever in the area Ill came back for their cheesecake dessert. read more

I visited Champps for the first time bc it was right next door to my hotel. I'm from the south, so this was my first time hearing of this restaurant! I sat at the bar, ordered a mimosa and got the sampler off the appetizer menu. The sampler was enough to fill me up. It came with 4 potato skins, 5 buffalo wings, cheese curds, and 4 chicken tenders. Also you get about 5 sauces. I had to take some to go! Service was great as well! [[HIGHLIGHT]]This place seem to be very popular bc it was packed and I arrived less than an hour after they opened.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Had a very tasty Burger and Soup combo. They offer a choice of any 1 patty burger on the regular menu and choice of about 5 different soups. This was the French onion soup and 1/4 pound burger with bacon, lettuce, tomato, onion and pepper jack cheese for $14. The wait staff was very friendly and patient with our table of six. read more

My friends and I met here to celebrate 2 birthdays and a new retiree on a Saturday afternoon for lunch. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place is large and there were quite a few people there enjoying the food and the games that were being broadcast on the many televisions throughout the dining room.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] There were a variety of options to choose from. Two of us settled on the Soup & Sandwich option with Chili being offered as a Soup. Someone selected the Fish Fry which had a generous amount of Cod and Fries. Our food was very good. The waiter was young and busy and forgot to bring the requested Coffee about three times. He was so apoplectic about it. We all had a good laugh. The four retirees enjoyed to poke a bit of fun with the youngster who kept forgetting our order. We laugh as we informed him that he had a lot to look forward to. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It is a good meeting place for our gathering but if you're looking for a quiet place this is not it but if you're looking for a good time with good friends and good food, you will like it.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Champps Americana - Friends in the Dining Room - American Near Me - Brookfield, Wisconsin

This was the new restaurant of the week and a long time bookmark that I have past hundreds of times going to WM. The place is an open concept and huge with a bar in front and tables/booths spreading out from the bar. Probably the most flat screens I have seen on one sports bar. Service was prompt with no issues. I started with a Bloody Mary spicy that came with a chaser that had a sad looking garnish of one olive and one pickle spear, actually pathetic looking for a Bloody Mary and I have them all over. The Bloody Mary was actually above average taste wise and very spicy that my nose ran, thank you. Since I'm always trying new dishes from restaurant to restaurant and not that I haven't had it before but I just don't order like a cheeseburger all the time so I gambled on the Philly cheese steak with my despised waffle frys that came quickly and looked good. The despised waffle frys weren't hard like I have had in the past from other restaurants but warm/soft on the inside with the crispy shell half way to soggy so they weren't cooked to order hot from the fryer but still good. The Philly cheesesteak was delicious with chopped steak, not sliced roast beef like some places pass off. The hoagie roll was soft/super fresh with moist juices from what the steak was cooked in. The grilled onions, mushrooms and green peppers were cooked perfectly and the cheese was melted perfectly. Cheesesteaks can be hit or miss but this one was pretty good. read more

I have been going to Champps for years with a group of friends for happy hour on a weekly basis. It has been about 10 years to be exact, the place has gone through some changes but remains our spot. The staff has always been amazing, even with the turn over, they are friendly and helpful. They know what to recommend for beers and liquors. The atmosphere is unbeatable. Whether you are there to watch a game on one of the MANY TV's or just to hang out there is always a good mix of personalities and plenty of people to talk to. During games the energy is electrifying! If you are tired of sitting at home alone to watch any sport, I highly recommend you grab a bar stool and settle in. What I have not done much of is eat at Champps, but last weekend while out with my kids we needed a place with options that would suit everyone and Champps came to mind because of the extensive menu. I ordered the Korean Tacos, which is my go to when I do eat, and as always they were delicious. My kids ordered a cheese pizza and the ribs. The cheese pizza was not a hit and was described as "any fast food place is better". From what I could tell the crust was soggy and had zero crunch which may have to do with the condensation that form when transferring a hot pizza to a plate. The ribs were acceptable, the meat was tender and fell right off the bone. read more

Chose to go to Champps tonight with friends. The service was good but i was disappointed with the temperature of all our meals. They must have sat for awhile. Soups lukewarm, grilled chicken on salad was cold, fries cold. Disappointing to say the least. My server took my soup back and microwaved it. My friends decided to take their cold food to go. read more

Came here with my husband when we were in MKE and it was very good! I ordered a bloody mary, which was on the spicier side and so full of flavor. Perfect balance of pepper, spice, and vodka. For an appetizer, we ordered the buffalo wings, and they were pretty big and fresh. They didn't taste any different than most restaurant buffalo wings, but they definitely were flavorful and not gutty. For his meal, my husband ordered a 12 inch meat lovers pizza and really liked it. It had sausage and pepperoni on it, and he took half of it back to our hotel for later. I ordered the Nashville hot chicken sandwich and I LOVED IT! The sauce and flavors worked so well together, and I love that I was able to pick my side because I chose waffle fries. We had great service, and our waitress was very attentive. We also were very happy we got a seat right away because it was very busy when we got there with almost no open tables. There were TONS of tvs here and the cool thing is that in Sundays they have signs on the TVs of which teams are playing on them. Makes it easier for waiters to seat people where they want to be seated. read more

Happily surprised by Champps. Right across from a golf course, great meal after 9 holes. AMAZING FOOD. It is rare that my whole family gets a meal they are satisfied with.

We went to this place because we were headed to a Brewers game and had some time to kill. We didn't get much for food, but the curds and tenders were delicious, and [[HIGHLIGHT]]it was a bit crowded due to a basketball game but everyone was still so attentive![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The thing that really made our experience great was one specific person. I hate that I didn't catch her name but I hope she sees this! I was traveling with a 1.5 year old and I was slightly overwhelmed.. she was full of energy and just wouldn't sit down but she was having fun so I didn't mind. A lovely server was playing peekaboo and dancing with her for around 15 minutes and it was the highlight of my little girls day! The uncontrollable giggles and smiles were the best part! I'm sorry this review isn't all about food but great service like this should always be recognized.. this woman helped out a very stressed momma and I'll never forget her. Please visit this place if you get the chance, you will not regret it. read more

We were kn the Brookfield area and needed lunch, so we decided go stop in here. It's across the street from the mall, so there is definitely more weekend traffic, but the place is huge with plenty of seating. I used to live in Illinois and we had a Champps, but it closed down years ago. It was nice being able to enjoy the restaurant again! My husband and I asked to sit outside since it was a beautiful day. Our server (I believe her name is Steph) was absolutely wonderful. She's very nice and attentive. We started with the chips and queso appetizer, and added salsa for $1. The portion is huge! A good, standard queso. The chips are fresh and salty. I got a cup of the potato soup and a Cobb salad (no olives, add red onion). My husband got the nashville chicken sandwich. These portions were of a great size too! The soup was really yummy, loaded with potatoes, bacon, and cheese. I thoroughly enjoyed my salad. It had fresh ingredients, and the ranch dressing is soooo good. My husband liked his sandwich. He said it had a good kick of heat to it. This is a casual American spot. The menu is very large, with something for everyone. Good spot to catch a game and enjoy a nice meal. read more

Great lunch on a Sunday. The patio was pretty open when we got there and the weather was great if you weren't in the shade. A few more joined on the patio in no time. Ordered a cheeseburger with fries and the Italian melt with the bleu cheese potato salad. It was all great and our server was friendly and attentive. The Belgian red on tap was great! Will definitely be back! read more

I primarily come here for their beer selection, but I also order food on some visits, and their food is actually pretty good. Most recently, I ordered their Patty Melt, which was a special for a limited time, per the menu. I ordered the patty medium temp, and they nailed the cook on it! The patty was also well-seasoned, so I could still taste the patty and seasoning, despite the cheese, onions, sauce, bacon (great add on their part!), and strong flavor of the Russian Rye bread, which I liked more than I thought I would. Basically, it was a really well-balanced sandwich and possibly the best Patty Melt I've ever had. Bravo! I opted for the skin-on "straight fries" as they were referred to, and almost all had the bland flavor and texture of sitting under a heat-lamp too long or like they were reheated in a microwave. I'll go back to their waffle fries next time. My bartender said I could have asked for fresh fries, but then the sandwich gets cold while I wait for the fries, or the fries come after I finish the sandwich, and I don't like sending food back. I prefer the kitchen to know to send fresh fries with the sandwich and not try to pass "older" fries off. After I ordered, I heard the bartender say it was last call for the kitchen, so maybe the fryer was already shut down. I generally do no order food when kitchen is about to close because I know they worked hard all day and are anxious to get home, so they usually start cleaning early, and I don't want to make them use something they just cleaned. Anyway, I like this place and will continue visiting, but I'll be mindful of the time of day I'm ordering. :D read more

We had a large party (11) that they accommodated nicely. I believe everyone selected a different entree item. All were excellent. Served quickly and efficiently. We also had the appetizer sampler which was good, but had too many chicken strips and not enough wings. The sauces for the appetizers were plentiful and very good. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The NFL playoffs were going on and there was an ample number of TVs to watch the games[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]].

My husband and I stopped in for a casual lunch on our 1 year anniversary. It wasn't super busy. I ordered the chicken adobo sandwich with coleslaw and loved them both. My husband ordered the cheese curd burger and waffle fries. He loved them as well. In fact the burger was so big he couldn't even finish it, which is unheard of. Service started off great but then was just ok towards end of our meal (it took awhile to get our check so we didn't get drink refills). It could have been better since it wasn't very busy.

Food is good. Expensive but good. The real reason I'm giving it three stars is that it is super loud.

First time eating at Champps. We ordered the Potato Skins & Wisconsin Cheese Curds for appetizers. The potato skins came out perfectly cooked, were fairly large sized and had a good amount of cheese & bacon -- the only thing they didn't include was green onion, which would have made these perfect. The cheese curds were disappointing, they were very bland, not a hint of the garlic flavor in the breading like the menu listed. They also tasted a bit stale, almost like they were from a freezer box and just reheated. My daughter ordered the butter noodle with parm from the kids menu. She did need to ask for extra parm because there wasn't much to begin with, but the waitress was happy to accommodate and brought her two different kinds to add. The portion size was very large for a child's meal so this would be filling for even older children. From the regular menu we ordered Mesquite Dry Rub Wings, Wood Fired Salmon, Three Cheese Potroast Melt and Beef Barbacoa Macaroni & Cheese. The wings were a bit too charred for our liking, but the meat inside was juicy and not overcooked. The salmon was also cooked well and had a decent flavor. The Three Cheese Potroast Melt tasted absolutely delicious and came out on perfectly toasted garlic bread. The Beef Barbacoa Mac & Cheese was the star at our table. It was very savory and unique tasting with a perfect little bit of heat to the white cheese sauce. read more

I'm sad to write this review. My friends and I have been going to Champps for years. Today we paid $8.00 for an eight ounce (said 10 ounce but it was teeny) beer with a 6% ABV. Honestly, that is robbery. And the food, meh. What has happened? Unless another reviewer can tell me something to change my mind, I won't be back. read more

Champps is a cool local spot to hang out, watch sports, drink local beers, and have the best buffalo chicken sandwich in the Milwaukee area. That should be the end of the review, but I'll continue. Location: easy to get in and out of. Nice, big parking lot. Service: consistent. The waitresses are almost always efficient and friendly. It can get busy, so you will wait sometimes, but it is to be expected. As long as you are not in a rush, it is a great spot. Menu: I come here from Florida fore the buffalo chicken sandwich. It is truly the best. It is served with waffle fries. Get it crispy,not grilled. My mouth is watering as we speak. Lots of other options are good too. I have never heard anyone complain about the food. Beer: they do a good job of having local stuff like Spotted Cow, Miller, and craft beers from the area, and then mix those with the bigger stuff from out of state. They have a solid beer menu to accompany the full bar. Atmosphere: total sports bar. TVs and jerseys everywhere. Great place to watch a local game with local fans. Verdict: one of my favorite local spots. Consistently good with consistent service. read more

Not bad, not great. Champps is on my way home from work and I often meet up with people there for a drink or meal. I've had good experiences and not good experiences. Sometimes the service can be spotty and I've had cold soup and less than fresh produce served to me. Other times my meals have been hot and tasty. All depends on who is working that day and how busy they are. I like the atmosphere, location, and price, but I wish my visits were more consistent. read more

It always surprises me that this is a chain (but locally owned). Everything here is always right on. Honestly the French Onion Soup is pretty awesome. There are a lot of weak, bad versions of this soup and you absolutely will not be disappointed here. The brother is rich, deep in flavor with the perfect amount of onions and cheese. Get it. With such a vast menu it easy to be nervous that they simply can't do it all well but again, from a burger to a chicken sandwich, to the fish fry (that you can get any day) to the nachos or one of the weekly specials- it's all so damn good. There is something for everyone here. read more

First time here and it was pretty darn good. I found a PB/bacon burger (apparently no longer on the menu) on an old yelp picture and they made it anyway for me. I can tell you that I've had better PB burgers but the fact that they went out of their way to make it coupled with the wonderful service made up for it! Jessica (bar waitress) was exceptional. The girl never stopped, yet took the time to check in with me many times. And the Drekker blueberry ale is SO GOOD! I would definitely (and most likely will) come back again! read more

My daughter and I and my three little grandsons had lunch at Champps - a family favorite for years!! - this past week, and as always, the food was plentiful and so very good. I had the juicy and flavorful 1/4 lb. New Berlin burger, topped with onion bacon jam, and a bowl of clam chowder (with plenty of clams!), my daughter had her favorite Palm Canyon salad, and the older boys had kids' cheese pizzas, devouring most of them. (The little guy ate his buttered noodles with gusto! ) We shared an order of waffle fries with seasoned sour cream because we love them and they were hot and crisp, as always. Our server was terrific, and quick to clean up spilled chocolate milk with a smile on his face. Kudos to Champps and owner Tony for having a consistently well run restaurant with excellent staff, food, service and cleanliness. read more
