To Go order. Hostess was efficient. Kitchen was efficient. Not too loud. High tops, low table and a bar. Chicken sandwich is okay. read more

Aspen Tap House - Burgers Near Me - Champaign, Illinois

Beers are plentiful in this action packed bar and grill in Champaign. It also has pretty okay food but people really aren't coming here for it. Aspen Tap House is a great place for watching any games. Has tons of TVs around and there's a party atmosphere usually going on. The prices are okay for portions. A location away from the campus craziness but it still can get loud. It's close to a few hotels, so it's a great place for travelers. The menu has about what one should expect, with shit tons of beers and many of these are local as well. Got a few good ones. It's about $7 a pint. Best we had of these was the White Oak Brewery selection #CharmingAF. This was refreshing and smooth. It's about $12 for the cheapest burgers. We each got the Black Bean Burger, which comes with guacamole, pico de gallo, and sour cream but I left off the last one. Also gets a choice of a side, so okay value for it. I got it with a salad. A lot of other meaty options available. They have tacos and the Impossible meat is an option. For sure it pretty much seems like Applebee's or some generic polished sports bar and grill but it's okay to be honest. It's located on Neil Street to the south of the campus stuff. There's meaty things as well as options for vegans and vegetarians. read more

Aspen Tap House - White Oak #CharmingAF And Black Bean Burger - Burgers Near Me - Champaign, Illinois

We were seated right away. BUT, the table was disgusting and sticky. The paper inside the menu stuck to the table. When we asked for it to be wiped down, the waitress told us it wasn't dirty, she would find someone to wipe it down but it won't make a difference. We left without even a drink order. No wonder we walked right in at 6pm on a Friday read more

Very classic American place! Every time I've gone here, I gotten one of the burgers and they are so juicy and never disappoint. I love love the fries quality here, they we the thin ones! This place gets packed in game days. read more

Great place to watch the game as there are plenty of space and tv''s. The food and drinks are good. Wait staff are attentive and move quick! The spicy margarita and brussel sprouts were my fav! read more

Great spot to stop on our road trip. Lots of locals seemed to also think it was a good place too. Colorado themed place which is cute altho unusual for central Illinois. We had great service from Ky. The food was also very good: black & blue steak wrap and grilled tenderloin sandwich. My husband said the tenderloin was cooked to perfection. Both items came with a side and we picked salads. The salads were a nice size! The only thing that did bother me about our lunch here was the table top was sticky- which is common after having repeated cleaning with disinfectants. Not sure if there is an easy solution but it would be good for manager to investigate that IMHO. read more

highly recommended Aspen Tap House especially for burger Mondays. KY did a great job serving our table. nice job !

A hidden gem in Champaign! Classic bar and grill type establishment with above average food. Was very happy with our visit. Nice and well maintained interior and our waitress was very attentive. read more

Very mid, food isn't too bad but definitely a little overpriced compared to the food they serve.

We eat there every week. We have never had a bad meal or bad service. My husband loves the catfish dinner and I get the steak fajitas tacos. They have specials on Tuesday that keep us coming back. read more

Always great experience. Great food for both kids and adults. Always a great menu of beer!

Amazing food, you get your money's worth and friendly staff, and love the decor, never disappoints.

First time at your establishment came for lunch on a Sunday Celebrating my Brothers Graduation. Environment was very family oriented and very clean. Our waitress was so nice and hospitality she had great suggestions on the menu. My partner got to watch the Yankees game after we asked if they can change a channel on one of the tv which was greatly appreciated. When I say I enjoyed everything I had to eat here. The pow wow shrimp were the best I've ever had that sauce the crispiness. The ribs had a great rib and loved the smokiness. I'm so glad I upgraded to the truffle fries the sauce was so damn good. read more

Good food before the Illinois basketball game. Enjoyed the atmosphere. Good service. Will be back.

I'd never explored this corner off campus west of the Assembly Hall arena, but after a big Sunday basketball game, the family was able to get a table and a good meal when everything in Campustown was packed with long wait lists. The sweet chicken wrap was good. The food came out quickly. This is a skiing themed bar and restaurant in central Illinois. One of the flattest places in earth! But it's an upscale sports bar, with a bazillion TVs showing games, and it was warm on a cold rainy day. I also appreciate the efforts of the young lady with Down's syndrome who was bussing the tables. As soon as a table was empty, she got out cleaned up quickly to get people seated. I appreciate her work ethic and her employer giving her the opportunity. I would definitely come back. read more

Generally speaking, this is a chain sports bar with a ski themed. Is that a problem? Not really. If you just want to find somewhere cozy to watch a game or two, this is the place. Its got standard American food, but a few different twists like a buffalo burger. I got that and it was probably one of the better buffalo burgers I have had in awhile. They also have wings, nachos, etc. Its kind of like an Applebees, but better. Looks like a good place to take your parents if they are visiting you at U of I. read more

Food is phenomenal. Beer selection is spectacular. Food is always tasty. We will be back.

We arrived at 455 and were seated immediately. We waited 15 minutes before we had a server to the table. There were less than a half dozen tables seated. The server had an attitude as soon as she asked if we wanted drinks and we said we were ready if she was. The truffle fries came out after 13 minutes and were lukewarm, but had a really good flavor. My salad came out after 17 min, but hubby's didn't come out until after the food came. I said thank you every time Kyesha brought something, and she just turned around and walked off. Perhaps she was just having an off day, I don't know. We still left her a 20% tip. The salads were a large portion. I wanted to ask for more dressing though, but didn't. The ribs were fantastic, fall off the bone. The broccoli was cooked really well and had plenty of melted butter.The shrimp were rather small and not crispy really at all. read more

The food was very good. Service was a bit lacking, but it was Mom's weekend and they were slammed

Went in at 8:15pm on Sunday and nobody was at the front desk. I flagged someone down who advised that they are no longer serving food because they are already cleaning the kitchen so we left. Too bad. read more

Our server was horrible, full stop. Food was good, no complaints, but that server was horrible. Place wasn't that busy, it was just after 5pm on a Thursday, and I saw other servers interacting with their tables, but ours acted basically indifferent to our table. Will honestly think twice about coming here again and of course any time anyone brings up this place will mention the horrible service we received. read more

Got the fish and chips to go and it was a puddle of grease when I opened it. Also is the first time that I've ever gotten fish and chips that were 2 separate items even though it says fish and chips are the meal . If there's a next time I won't order it again. read more

Large portions. Our waitress was great! Quick and friendly staff. A little loud but is clean orderly.

Great service, atmosphere, beer selection and food. I will definitely be back the next time we're in the area.

I placed an order to go, no silverware, salt, pepper or napkins were provided. The food, was nothing special.

The food was good! However, the table was sticky to the point that all 4 diners forearms stuck to the table. I requested a hot rag with soap to wash and the waitress said it was the finish on the wood table! She did not ever attempt to mitigate this. I'm sorry but a complaint should be addressed. It was dismissed. That is very poor customer service!!! read more

Food was great and so was service. Fun atmosphere they had all the TV's going for the Illini game. read more

The pow wow shrimp appetizer is to die for, I ordered a second, so damn good, just the right amount of heat, and great beer selection, I recommend the Riggs brewery beers, they are local and good ales. read more

Visited here while in town for the night. It was a good spot to please everyone in the family. We were able to hold a spot in line on yelp, so that is awesome & we got seated right as we walked in. Pretty busy for a Friday night so I would recommend trying that if you can. Tons of drinks on tap to try or cocktails. lots of delicious foo options. Service was quick & friendly. I'd say the ambiance is similar to a sports bar, noisy hangout. Our food was all delicious. Drinks were good. We enjoyed our time here. read more

Tried the Aspen Tap House last night with my daughter. We just ordered a bunch of appetizers. The nachos with chicken which were good. The fried pickles that were really thin not allowing you to really taste any pickle. Lastly we had the cheese curds. Overall not bad at all. A large beer selection which I didn't have a chance to sample but maybe I will at another time. The place has lots of tvs and probably is a great place to watch the games. The bar looked nice but didn't get a chance to check it out. Service was good even though we were the only people in the fireplace room at the time. read more

The meal was good, waiter/waitress was professional and not over bearing. It's a sports bar with great food. read more

First time eating lunch at the Aspen Tap House. We were greeted at the door and seated immediately. There were several tables with seated people. They have both bar level tables and regular tables to sit. We ordered the breaded Pork Tenderloin sandwich. Oh my goodness, it was delicious! I haven't had a pork tenderloin sandwich in a very long time and was very glad to have one here. I had waffle fries (yummy) and my sister had the onion rings (yummy) and enjoyed both! The service was excellent and we really enjoyed our lunch! read more

Tried out this little gem on a recent work trip. Great selection of beers on tap, the food was really good as well. Definitely recommend the truffle fries and the sweet and spicy Brussels sprouts. A laid back atmosphere was great after a long day of meetings. Service was good but could have been a little more attentive. Overall, would definitely go back! read more

The typical brewery with an excellent menu featuring popular burgers, sandwiches, and casual price gouging on the beers but open and large atmosphere, nice outdoor area too, for big groups to easily enjoy themselves while tossing away the wallets. There's good brews, some lovely apps we discovered, and friendly staff. Us five guys tried the variety, found top notch sandwiches, easy to eat burgers, dull chicken tenders, and average Mac n cheese which surprised. How can one make Mac n cheese average? We guessed they need to double the cheese variety because our friends make better stuff. In this city of Kraft crap, we expected superior cheese and noddles. Also very odd was busting the keg on a red ale but still getting charged for it, so odd! No way to service but Illinois isn't so keen on fair finances these days, about excused the lack of tact upon the fried cheesecake, it was good! My bison burger needed a some richer cheese and arugula. The others finished their fare quickly especially the paddy melt. Noticed this place was decently popular during our Sunday evening visit so they must be doing most things right! read more

Perfect to go to after an Illini game! TVs galore and the good was great with lots of options. Service was top notch and the manager, De'nay was extremely friendly and pleasant. My son and husband raved about the wings and I loved the Hawaiian chicken and truffle fries! We will definitely be back! read more

I really enjoyed my experience here. The server was excellent the greeting at the entrance was friendly and welcoming. The food was excellent from the soup to the entrees. You have to have the Truffle fries when you go. I had a Bourbon Hemingway as a drink and it was one of the better bourbon drinks I have had recently. My food was superb. The only thing keeping me from a five star review is where they seated our party. It was busy and we did get seated right away which was good. However, they seated us right next to the servers key in area which meant lots of traffic from servers and for me at least took away from this experience. My suggestion would be to lose that one table. read more

I got a Nashville Chicken and a New School burger (I thought the former one supposed to be just some pieces of chicken but finally came a sandwich ). The burger and the chicken were okay, but the chips and the bun were just so ordinary. The service was good tho, they were so helpful and friendly. I would give a 4 star in general, for these reasons above. read more

If West Virginia was a restaurant. Everything tasted a little off. Don't get the mac and cheese. Our server was very nice.
