Now I'll wait to get attacked like last time! Don't want an honest opinion given the do better! read more

This place is great for a quick bite! The service is friendly & fast! I'm not a huge mushroom fan, however I do recommend their deep fried mushrooms! They're super crispy yet very soft on the inside! read more

Stopped by Champs for a quick meal after work. I was immediately greeted. Even though I sat in regular seating, the bartender quickly came over to see if I knew what I wanted. Very friendly was the vibe I got. I elected to go for the build your own grilled cheese option. When I received the sandwich, it was the perfect balance of cheese, BACON, and bread. I devoured it much quicker than I anticipated. The food and service was awesome. I get the feeling that this place has a ton of regulars. Can't wait to go back! read more

Champs Bar & Grill - Build your own grilled cheese - Bars Near Me - Middleville, Michigan

Something about this place feels good to sit down and have some drinks after a long day. One of my frequented places for just that occasion. The food is good, especially for a bar. The staff has always been pretty attentive. And the prices aren't bad. Make some friends and you will have a blast here. read more

Great food! No complains! Great service, and good customers. Great building with a cool pool table! read more

Decent food and decent bar set up. Service takes long but that's expected with only a few employees. My husband and I come here all of the time. read more

Absolutely terrible service, waitress forgot a pen, twice to take our order, took her 20 min to try to find one. Food was terrible. Owner Nick was clueless and admitted he had no idea what he was doing. Blamed his terrible staff on covid and said they were terrible, but it's all he could find. The owner was a complete dick, would never support his business. read more

Had a coupon for this place and decided to drive down from northern Grand Rapids to give it a try. Well worth the trip in my opinion. We were sat right away and she took our drink order right off the bat. She was very pleasant and friendly. She brought our drinks and said our server would be over soon. A couple minutes later we were asked if we knew what we wanted. She was also pleasant and friendly as she took our order. We ordered deep fried mushrooms as or appetizer. They came out perfectly fried and the batter tasted great. We did have to let them cool a bit as they were extremely hot, but well worth the wait. My wife ordered the popcorn shrimp basket. A ton of shrimp and fries. Golden brown and pretty big for popcorn shrimp. Looked more like smaller regular shrimp to me. Again, the batter was great. I ordered the deluxe sub sandwich and steak fries. The baked sub tasted really good. Don't think I've had one with tomato on it before, but a decent touch out of the normal. The fries were nice and crispy on the outside and perfect on the inside. Our waitress was very attentive and made sure we were satisfied a couple times throughout our stay. Very good service and very good food. A good place to go if you live in the area or if you feel like a drive and want a good place to eat. read more

We have ordered from them multiple times through this Corona lockdown and their food has been fantastic. Their staff has been very friendly. We will continue to go back and support them. read more

We have been going here for several years. We like eating on the deck outside. Unfortunately, they have removed the cod fish basket from the menu, which was my favorite, which now will force me to find another fish place and cut down our visits here. The fish was well cooked and always delicious. So sad to see it go...... read more

We found this place two months ago and have been back three times already! The atmosphere is fantastic, the music is fun, the service is pretty good, and the ambiance is great. On top of that, we try something else on the menu every time we go and we haven't been disappointed yet; the food is darn good! It's not a huge restaurant and can get noisy on a Friday night, but it's still worth going to us. And if you were hoping for a quieter supper and it's busy inside, there is a deck out back that has several tables as an option. All in all, I've got no complaints about this restaurant! read more

Waitress was very friendly. Good came out super quick even at noon. Beers were cold, burger that I ordered was a real burger with good flavor and not a crappy frozen patty. Steak fries were hot and cooked right. No complaints here. Review Edit - After coming here quite a few times, and coming here at night, I'm going to reduce my rating from 4 stars to 2, with a large caveat to that. If you come here at lunch, it's fine. In the summer you can sit outside and it's pretty great. I've been here a few times at lunch with no negative experiences at all. Food comes out fast, and is always good. Drinks served fast and are ice cold. At night, however, things change quite a lot. Since writing my initial review I've been here more times that I'd like to admit at night. After the poor service I received then, the type of clientele that frequent this place at night (typically loud, drunk, and rowdy) I won't be back after 5 again. It's not atypical to see people way over-served, which is great when they decide to stumble out late at night and drive home. I'm sure a lot of it has to do with the location, given what's just up the road on the East side of Grand Rapids St, but it's still bad. For lunch, everything's fine. After dinner, ESPECIALLY with a family, I'd go to Caledonia or Kentwood and find something different. read more

Champs Bar & Grill - Bars Near Me - Middleville, Michigan

"Down goes Frazier" Muhammed Ali is Champ!!!! Unfortunately this restaurant called Champs is not. The two travelers I went with had been to this bar before. They totally suggested the Champ Burger...so here's what BURGER BOY ate: The Champs Burger - 1/2 pound of ground round on a large kaiser roll. The roll was very large and the burger was "smashed" down. Not much taste, the onions were soft and didn't have any taste. 2 Stars Service: not real good considering we were the only ones in the bar. The waitress was very anti social. 2 Stars If you ever pass through this sleepy little town, try some place else. read more

I've never been here at night, I have only been here a couple of times when the power was out everywhere for 6 days due to an ice storm and so they were the only place to get a hot meal, but I enjoyed it It's got a decent menu, it's not just garbage bar food. The burgers were good and the service was pleasant. The atmosphere wasn't "blue collar chip on the shoulder", it was more "laid back small town". They were welcoming and they have several TV's and live music/DJ'a from time to time They do get a lot of mid-life crisis wanna be bikers with their $40k Harley's in the summer that like to dominate the streets, but they always seem pretty decent. Really just White Collar guys that always wanted to be tough but couldn't pull it off in between JV football and student council, but now have the time and money to buy over priced leather and bandanas read more

I have only been here during the day for meals. I left full and the food was good. There are only a handful of places to eat in Middleville and this is a good one because they have a descent menu and you can get a beer. I had the french dip and steak fries last time I was in and was very satisfied. When its warm out the local bikers start come out of the wood work and colonize here. Have no fear they are just weekend warriors, if you don't know what that is its the guys and gal's that have expensive bikes and a ton of expensive Harley jackets and gear. Have no fear they are not a threat and probably work in one of the offices in the area. Food is good, atmosphere is good I will be back. read more

Just left Champs on a Friday afternoon at 3:00pm. Only reason they get a second star was because the burger was good, even though VERY small side of fries. The female bartender was downright rude. Sat down, "what do you want?" How about a smile and a better greeting?? Threw my food down on the bar and a napkin without asking if I needed anything else. Had to get up to get salt, ketchup etc. when I needed to pay with a credit card, slammed my card and receipt back down on the bar. No salutation but seemed like a "get the "f" out" kind of attitude. No need to visit this place. Go to RiverDog across the street instead!! read more

This review is here to negate "Tom F" from the east Side of the state. ( OK, I am a former East Side resident as well). Family friendly. Get off the expressway and stop in. Downtown Coopersville has charm, even if its kind of quiet charm. I ALWAYS make friends here, and enjoy a good burger. Each time someone at the bar or in the next booth is friendly. Even the waitstaff always acts has if we are regulars. Cant say that about every small town pub. They have PBR in bottles for cryin' out loud! read more

Nice small town bar. Good Food. I Believe they still have live music on weekends. Local watering hole.

We visited twice last week, and were thrilled with what we got! Our first visit was our first time, on a Sunday. Sunday is 50 cent wing night, and they are great! Big wings, and great flavor options. The mild buffalo is all flavor and little spice, while the hot buffalo is still great flavor and HOT. Adding a basket of fries is cheap, they have some options there too and they're all delicious. Even with the fried food, we did not feel sluggish after eating. I had the "Blacken Bleu Bacon Burger", which was incredible. A big kaiser bun so it didn't get soggy, and the bacon was thick and crisp. Very generous with toppings too. The second visit was Wednesday, which is their Taco platter night. Also a great deal, we filled up easily and it didn't cost much for us to enjoy the night out. Honestly we just didn't feel like cooking and Champs is a short walk from our apartment. The staff is great. Our waitresses have been friendly, even when there's only one available between the bar and the tables. Fast service, our food comes out after a reasonable wait (maybe 10 minutes on the taco night, since it was their special). The wings and burgers take a little longer, but the fries were fresh from the fryer when they got to our table. It was fairly busy on the Sunday that we went, with live music (very talented, and not too loud, perfect volume), but we weren't waiting all night on our food. read more

It's your typical bar food. This place is not going to be the most amazing bar you've ever set foot into but it gets the job done. Every summer when I'm visiting family we stop in here for drinks and food. Love the free popcorn from the cart in the back. Nice & fun touch. read more

We attended a show at the park and noticed the awesome two decker deck. The place was hopping but we were able to grab a table outside. My friend and I are vegan so ordered the veggie quesadilla without the cheese. The food came out hot and tasty and the drinks were stellar. Our waitress Patrice was a whirlwind waiting on us and all of the other tables. We will definitely be back! read more

Good food, but very slow service. Took us an hour just to eat mozzarella sticks and pay. Not worth the trip

I honestly wish that I could leave ZERO stars. My husband and I were there this past Sunday 7-7-18. Upon arriving we waited 10 minutes before there was even a sign of human life. Then once the waitress finally appeared from smoking her cigarette we were given a list of things that we could not order because coolers were left unplugged the night before (how does that happen?) We ordered boneless wings. When they came out they were bone-in. The waitress just assumed we wanted the ones that were 50 cents. We kept them. They were absolutely degusting. My French fries were freezer burnt and tasted like plastic. I ordered queso that tasted sour. I didn't touch it. One of my husbands chicken wings was completely black. Not like burnt black but like the entire thing was black to the bone. We said something to the waitress and she said she would talk to the owner. After she told us "Yea Chicken is just weird!" I heard her (our waitress) go to him or her (the owner) and NOTHING was done. The owner never came out to talk to us. I am not about getting free meals, but this was by far the nastiest meal I have ever purchased from a restaurant in 41 years and not even a discount was offered. My husband ended up with a terrible stomach ache and I left and went to McDonalds. Which was delicious by the way. So that should tell you how nasty this food was. NEVER AGAIN will we be eating at this restaurant. Paying 30$ for nasty chicken and freezer burnt fries. I just heard they changed owners- that's too bad. I used to love coming here! read more

We ordered take-out and it was great. Their steak fries and french fries weren't overly fried and their burgers were good. Good value for 2 adults and a child. read more

Service and atmosphere are great, but food consists of frozen fish sticks deep fried. New ownership has went backwards in food offered at this place. Nothing on the menu is unique and typical deep fried bar food. Beer prices are comparable to a cool downtown location. Movies playing on TV instead of sports. Very disappointing. read more

Andrea's a great bartender. Demanding clientele with "homey" character. Great pizza and drink specials. Could use a few more TV's for game viewing. read more

Friday night (only) lake perch dinner is TDF! Nice sized fillets, deep fried and choice of sides. Maximum yum.
