This is a good option if you are looking for Champps food but that's about it. The prices are overpriced, the service is terrible and they are not attentive at all. Case in point. I sat down and the wait staff didn't even acknowledge me. I started looking at the menu and 5 minutes later, someone walked in and they passed me to attend to the new customer. I had to flag them down after they finished with the new customer to ask for service. The food is okay for the airport but if you have a chance to go further down the terminal, I prefer Coney Island or the TGiFridays for sit down or the Earl of Sandwich for a carry out meal. Food is better, service is more accommodating and the prices are more competitive. read more

The fish sandwich (see pic) is a total grease bomb presented in the classic IDGAF tradition of crappy airport restaurants everywhere. Avoid unless starving. Even then - consider it twice. Then the manager comes by, asks if everything is ok. My response is a headshake and enthusiastic "No". His response? A smile and thumbs up? WTH? When ringing out (without a bite taken) he comes by again and asks if I want a box! To which I say "Hell no!" He then says, "Whats the matter?" I reply "Look at it." To which he smiles and says, "Looks like its been sitting out a while." Ok wow! I dont expect much from airport chains, but this, this is a new all time low. read more

Champps Americana - Greasy fish, plastic cheese on the saddest roll in Detroit. - New American Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

Located in Detroit Metro North, the non-Delta wing, across from Gate 8. Servers are pretty quick and friendly. Was served in less than 10 minutes. (Hint: if it's a sit down restaurant it's going to take a bit longer... Mcdonalds is down the hall if you cannot wait!) Lots if open seating, so seat yourself. Music is loud and fun without being too overbearing. Lots if seats at the bar, and tons of TVs! Food was quick and hot, fries were great! They could a better job of greeting people at the door though. 4 Stars! Take a minute and enjoy! read more

Good food, attentive service, great fries. Blue cheese burger was pretty good (I wasn't expecting much even though it was $16 w fries) and the seasoned fries were really really tasty. My fiance got the chicken Alfredo, which Cage with bell pepper, spinach, and mushrooms.. good bc other places don't put any veggies in Alfredo at all. Would come back again if we're in town next year. read more

Champps Americana - Missed our flight, 3 hours to kill Waitress came over to take our drink order pretty quickly. Griffin Claw Norm's IPA is good. - New American Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

This place is located across from the Lufthansa lounge, and is pretty much the only restaurant on the United wing of DTW. The service is fast and friendly. There are several tvs around, which all seemed to be playing CNN, or ESPN. I got the Grown Up Grilled Cheese, which had a fried egg, and ham or bacon in it - along with a hearty helping of cheese. read more

Well some days service and food are excellent. Some days it misses the mark. Today was one such day. I decided to try the breakfast entre here. Since am on the 6:45am till 3:30pm shift. Went into Chammps and sat down. Almost immediately the one and only waitress was there, wiping down my table while taking my order. I ordered the made to order ham, bacon and sausage omelette and a diet pepsi to wash down the food with. Service still excellent I thought, since have only a 30 minute span to get my break in. The Pepsi arrived almost immediately, with a lemon on the rim of the glass. Nice touch. The food took about 10 minutes. The sausages were over cooked to the point of chewing through bricks. The ham felt like rubber, and ample bacon. There was at least a gallon of oil used to make this special treat. I still finished my breakfast and ran out of there. Had to get to the men's room to wash down my mouth from all that oil. While returning back to where I work, I see the manager of the store walking in. I explained my experience and he apologized. Seems his cook recently had a death in the family, just returned back to work. Can't prosecute a man for that! read more

I don't typically expect a lot from a restaurant at the airport but they didn't even live up to the low expectations. They got busy after we got there. We ordered our meals and it took a long time to get our food. When we finally got it, our son only got his fries because the kitchen screwed up. He eventually got his sliders too but by then he was full. I ordered the Reuben sandwich which was OK. The waitress was good and friendly and apologized profusely because the kitchen screwed up. read more

Hi Champps I was at the north terminal location at DTW. I had a terrible experience. It's just not a well run restaurant. I stopped here with plenty of time for an airport location - 40 minutes. The restaurant was steady, but not that busy. I watched one waitress serve the couple next to me. A different waitress serve the customer behind me. I couldnt make eye contact to get anyones attention. First waittress brought the couple next to me their drinks. I called to her but she walked away. Finally a waittress seeing me looking around asked me if i needed anything. I ordered and about 10 minutes later she brought me the wrong drink (beer, i ordered a cocktail). Another 10 minutes and still no drink (or food). I see it on the bar and wait another 5 minutes and go ask the bartender for it myself. As im drinking my drink, my waittress came by and said "Ok good. You got your drink" your salad will be right up." I told her that I'm sorry i have to go. She walked away from me and shouted to her colleagues "I'm done. Why are people in such a hurry today?" I put $15 on the counter and walked out. I wasn't in a hurry. I gave the restaurant 40 minutes of my time. I would have expected an offer of, "can I get that for you to go?" Again. I dont blame this particular waitress. She seemed busy and a bit overwhelmed. But she also had several colleagues standing around. And she appeared to have tables all over the place. Didn't seem to be clear sections for employees. Don't waste your time here. read more

Exactly what you expect for airport food (overpriced and mediocre). When my wife and I ordered we expected waffle fries based on the review by another fellow yelper. However, we were disappointed when we saw regular fries in our plastic basket. We asked the waitress and she mentioned they don't have waffle fries. Service was also very slow. Our water was never refilled even after asking. I guess they are used to customers that like to avoid airplane bathrooms at all cost. If you're hungry I guess it's an option to fill your belly before your flight. read more

Champps Americana - Champps burger - New American Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

Slowest and worst service I ever had. It took 30 minutes for a salad and the waitress was clearly uninterested in being there.

Would have been zero stars but the fries were good. Grilled cheese was not grilled, I posted a photo. read more

Champps Americana - Not quite a "grilled" cheese. Pretty gross to have a sando with slices of American Cheese when you are hoping for a hot grilled cheese. - New American Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

I was starving in the Detroit airport and about to get on a flight back home to Chicago and figured I'd stop in here for lunch as it was close to the gate. It was absolutely disgusting. I sat at the bar for quick service and got a turkey burger on a gluten free bun (props for having GF offerings). The turkey burger resembled these chicken patties I used to eat in my college dorm. There was no way there was real meat in there. The service, while friendly, was slow and off-putting. My server was reapplying her makeup behind the bar - she had her makeup case and hair brush sitting out on the bar. I'm no expert, but I imagine that has to be a health code violation. The only positive I can say is that the sweet potato fries helped fill me up and I didn't get sick. Avoid at all costs. read more

Go for the breakfast. Everything is fresh and tasty including fresh whole eggs for a scramble or omelette. I was surprised at the overall low ratings as our experience was wonderful. I looked over the reviews and see there were def some "misses" but we had a great experience. read more

Went in to watch the MSU vs. U of M game on their large tvs. The televisions inside were about the only good part of this place. We ordered some fries, my husband ordered a beer, and we sat back to watch the game. We had intended to eat some fries, and then see if we were still hungry for more appetizers, but after the fries came out we thought better of it. The fries weren't cooked all the way through, were cold, and completely unseasoned. Now, I love french fries. I can forgive a great many ill-cooked fries because they are still my favorite food, but these were almost inedible. Our server was alright, he seemed more attentive towards the end of our stay, but he did make sure that my drink was refilled and was friendly enough. We did hang out for a while (wanted to see the end of the game!) but if it wasn't for the football game and tv we would have been out of there fast! read more

This pub has excellent food. I had the turkey club. It was fresh and delicious. The local craft beer is excellent. The service is great and friendly. I eat at a lot of airports and I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

Food was decent, beer was ok. However, management, mainly incompetent manager Vincent actually lied about a simple issue with our bill. Even the server seemed to understand the mistake, however Vincent refused to admit an obvious mistake and remove the item. I instead paid extra amount, still tipped fully, and walked away dissapointed in a poorly managed establishment. read more

Shame on me for not reading the reviews on yelp before sitting down I paid $17 (including tip) for the egg white omelette and hash browns. The eggs were SO greasy I ate two bites before feeling disgusting. The hash browns were nice and crispy but it's kinda hard to screw up that. I tried to eat the wheat toast and after one bite I had to stop because it was literally DRENCHED in butter. The butter spewed out of the piece of toast and ran down my fingers. I would not have eaten this if I knew it was already pre-buttered. Horrible horrible place. Do not eat here. read more

For airport food, this was a descent breakfast. I had the breakfast quesadilla. Was pretty good. Even had salsa, sour cream, and guacamole! I also ordered the hash browns. Nothing fancy, and not flavorful. Just a potato. I put the extra sour cream and salsa on them and that helped out. The coffee wasn't too bad either. I think they have the 80's station going on and it's entertaining to hear snoop dogg at 6:48am. read more

Horrible. Avoid like the plague. Walked in, ignored for 20 min before we walked out without so much as being greeted.

Comically bad. My "cooked to order" salmon sat under the heat lamp so long it was like a brick and the veggies were literally ice cold around the edge of the plate. Seriously almost funny. Hot brick surrounded by icy veggies. Oh, and of course the standard upgrade me to a 22oz beer even though I didn't ask for it or want it. read more

Champps Americana - My half finished 22 oz beer. Thanks for the extra cost and beer I didn't want. Service includes asking your guest preferences. - New American Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

Good service However they serve overpriced garbage! I had the most disgusting hamburger in years. Nice decor But food my dog wouldn't eat read more

Bad service. Maybe it's because I'm in my 20s and they don't care about making a good impression. I wanted to order a quick takeout dish and it was extremely difficult to get a server to take my order. I understand you're busy but it really doesn't take much to say "I'll be with you in one minute." Instead I got pushed around various servers how looked annoyed at my presence. Not a fan but the food was alright. read more

You have one person working on a Saturday - one person for the entire restaurant. Shame on you. She did the best she could, but covering an entire restaurant isn't fair. Beer was good, but overpriced. I won't walk all the way down the terminal again. read more

Champps Americana - She doesn't even have time to clean the bar. #ownerfail #shameonyou - New American Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

The breakfast quesadilla was bangin ($9) but the mimosa (although strong) was $13 this is kinda shocking to me but of course we are in an airport and we basically agree to bending over. read more

I frequent Champps nationwide. The only reason I would come back to this one, and the reason they are getting 2 stars instead of 1, is because of the manager Brad. 2 bartenders, Kristine and a blonde heavyset (didn't catch her name) were rather rude. Kristine was very impersonable, until I asked for a manger and the other one was just flat out rude when I asked if she could change the tv station. Food was ok, except the sweet potato fries were ice cold, but brad made it right. I felt as if I was inconvenience to Kristine when I told her my food was cold. Thanks for making it right Brad, but if those 2 bartenders are there again when I am back. I will not visit. read more

What miserable servers. If you're looking for quick service, take your business elsewhere. The staff is less than friendly and attentive. I ordered the wings as an appetizer that claimed to have came with celery (it did not) but the wings were crispy and came with the sauce on the side which was nice. I also ordered the fries that came out cold and soggy. When I first sat myself, the table was dirty and it took the waitress about 15 minutes to pull a blue moon from the draft at the bar. I was sitting within an earshot of the bar and the bartender seemed like a miserable woman who had NO customer service or etiquette. I will say, I did have a server, Jessica, who was nice when she came to my table but again, less than attentive for someone who's looking to catch their flight. Overall, find another eatery at the airport. read more

Not a place to go if you are in a hurry. My order was taken pretty fast, but it took 25 minutes for my food order to appear - even though the place was half empty. I ordered their 'signature' chicken tenders - they were just the standard tenders you could buy at Costco. The person sitting next to me had a dessert that looked like waffles and ice cream, it was so hard he couldn't eat it - so he sent it back and left. read more

Love this place. Great drinks, great food awesome service. This layover turned out to be the best one ever. Amanda is the best bartender I've encountered. I live in NY and she is just amazing. read more

Champps Americana - This is Amanda. Best bartender ever!!!!!!!!!! - New American Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

$17.50 for one Moscow mule. I understand it's an airport but that is absolutely absurd. Did not order a double it came that way. read more

Champps Americana - New American Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

Had he chicken Alfredo. More grease than Alfredo but it's an airport so overpriced, poor tasting food can be somewhat expected. Also ordered a Sam Adams and a Long Island. No big deal right? No...got the tab and was unpleasantly surprised. Instead of ringing up the Long Island they charge for four individual shots totaling 15.25! Keep in mind this is a standard 12 oz glass. It certainly didn't have anywhere near 4 shots. Sam Adams draft was also 10.00. About $2.00 too high for an airport draft read more

Champps Americana - Ahh. That 12oz Long Island that was billed as 4 separate shots certainly didn't have that much alcohol and dang sure wasn't worth $15.25 - New American Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

Very expensive for mediocre food and drinks. 14 dollars for a bloodymary with 2 olives for garnish. Don't recommend it.

I would hate to see these workers at an actual busy restaurant. Been here for 2 hours and saw them mess up ever order placed at the bar. The guy next to me waited an hour and a half for a sandwich, my veggie burger came with the wrong type of fries, and three people came up complaining their table haven't been acknowledged. read more

Service is pretty slow which seems like a people for a restaurant in an airport. It took almost an hour to get a sandwich. The sandwich was ok, but not great. read more

Pretty good burgers for an airport grill. They have TVs with sports, fast service, and it wasn't that busy. A good place to eat in DTW read more

I'm a little surprised by the overall low reviews here. I stopped in here with two other people before our flight and we were able to grab 3 spots at the bar. For an airport bar / restaurant, they definitely had a solid draft selection. We started with an order of the pretzels and they were good (think TGI Friday's pretzels, if you've ever had them). For my meal, I went with the grilled buffalo chicken sandwich was good. It was nice and spicy and had plenty of blue cheese, too. It also came with fries. Everything was served hot and pretty quick. I'd have no issue stopping here again. Prices were reasonable, too, especially for airport food. read more

It's an ok restaurant in an airport. The food is a bit over priced and it's honestly not very good. There wasn't anything wrong with my food, but there wasn't a whole lot very right with it either. Any place that serves sad, saggy, soggy French fries isn't really worth eating at. We ate here because it wasn't very crowded. There was a reason for that. read more

This place is terrible. Our poor waitress was attentive enough, but she was the only waitstaff for the ENTIRE restaurant. Took 30 min to get cold food served with plastic silverware. Skip it. read more

Beware mix drinks are $27 and they don't tell. I've had drinks at over 20 airports and this restaurant is way off charging $27 for a martini. read more

I don't expect much from airport restaurants and this is no exception but there aren't many options in that terminal. Stopped here before a flight and the first thing the server said was that there would be a 45 minute wait for food. We had time so we stopped anyway and put in our order right away. The glass of wine came out about 15 minutes after my boyfriend's beer, then my food order came out wrong. To finish things off, we got charged double. I asked for them to use a gift card then charge the balance to my credit card and somehow they charged the full amount to both cards. When I asked about it, the manager (I think) came over to help and was super rude to the employee and unapologetic to me. It was very chaotic. Eventually it got sorted out but it was way more difficult than it should have been. I understand the staff was busy and under stress but I don't think that excuses this kind of experience. read more

Terrible service. Staff is rude and inattentive. They acted like we were bothering them. Drinks were wrong. Asked for things that never came. What did come was disgusting. Do.not.enter! Not even for the game that is on the dinky TV! read more
