I came here tonight and was told to try the steak tips. The staff is friendly and very accommodating. I ordered steak tips medium with rice and side caesar salad. The salad was good nice starter. Then the steak tips were perfectly cooked. Very flavorful and not dried out like some bars. I had to take half of the plate home it was very filling! read more

I visited Champions on a Sunday at noon. It was amazing because there was no line yet! When I parked and walked in, I was able to choose from a bar seat or a 2 person booth or a 4 person booth! I have never seen that before and I have not had these choices to make! What a great way to start lunch on a Sunday. I had my regular, which is the bbq chicken plate with steak fries and a garden salad with italian dressing. Like before, everything was great! I got the salad first. It was fresh, perfect size and the italian dressing is just like my Mother's growing up! It brings back those great memories. Soon after finishing the garden salad, I was quickly served my main dish of BBQ chicken with steak fries. The portion size is great. The grill master was right on again....cooked perfectly and the perfect chicken breast size. I took my time eating and watched some ESPN talking about March Madness and all the games coming up on the Sunday. It was a great place to be and a great lunch to have! I have been to Champions approx. 6-8 times and each time I visit I leave satisfied with the service, the price and of course, the food! What a spot! One thing that I need to try are the steak tips! I have heard the battle about who has the best tips but I cannot offer my opinion because I have never tried the Champions tips! I will and I will write them up when I get a chance. Price- awesome Parking- easy...the have a small lot and plenty of on the street parking Vibe- everyone is in a good mood Service- all of the staff hustles...they are always moving and available Would I come again? stupid question....of course! read more

Well... it's a New Year and our CA son has been in town visiting for the holidays Since he is a diehard carnivore, and it seems that the west coast doesn't really do Steak Tips.. there was only one place to go for dinner last night!! Arrived at 4 pm to ensure no waiting. And we sat right down in a comfy booth to order some delicious food This time, we (after ordering drinks) wanted to try their BBQ ribs as an appetizer. They came out quickly and perfectly cooked (medium) We're all accustomed to Houston's famous ribs so this was the high water mark to measure theirs. Nice taste and texture. Seared nicely with sauce on the side. Not "fall off the bone " but great flavor as was expected. We all ordered the steak tips dinner (I had the mixed grill steak and lamb) with their house salad and sides. As always, our favorite waitresses took extra time to ensure we were all happy. It's always a 10 and my son remarked that he's never had them this good and not chewy like most other restaurants. It is their signature dish and once again we were all happy campers and taste buds delighted. Wrapped up what little bit we didn't finish and brought them home for a snack today. They are starting their first Friday of every month with a Prime Rib dinner special. $19.95 with mashed potatoes and gravy and a side until they sell out! Starts at 5 pm sharp so plan accordingly!! Bon appetite!! read more

After hearing for months about Champion's steak tips, I went with my mother on a Saturday around 3 PM for a late lunch. We got there just in time before the place became extremely busy for dinner. We did sit for a bit before our waiter came to our table, I think he was the only one working the entire restaurant. I thought it was interesting that he asked if we needed to see menus, suggesting most people who go to Champions have been going there for years and have their orders memorized. We looked at the menu but both knew what we wanted: steak tips with onion rings. We got our side salads first and it took a bit to get the steak tips, only because they were being grilled fresh. Once they came out, they cut like warm butter and were incredibly tender. For the price, the portion size was good. Their steak marinade is on the sweeter side but it complimented the onion rings perfectly, which were perfectly cut and had the badder clinging to each ring. They do have a lot of other things on the menu, which I'm sure are great, but I cannot imagine going back to Champions without ordering the steak tips every single time. They are just as outstanding as everyone will tell you -- all the reviews and accolades are deserved. If you haven't checked them out, make sure you do. read more

Easily one of the best spots for steak tips... That's no surprises. That is what they are known for but this local pub is absolutely a rough jam. This is a dive bar off of one of the main roads in Peabody and getting lunch is something else. They give you a ton of food- which is great since a lunch order of steak tips is $32 dollars. And there is no website with current prices or menu - it's all on a facebook page?- so you aren't an always sure what you're going to pay. Ordered over the phone- this is a quick order quick pickup place or stay for a beer. They were just already at 12:15 on a Tuesday and the food was spectacular. The order came with steak tips, rice, salad and sauce. read more

Great food great drinks! Steak Tips are a must get! Very flavorful. Waited for a little bit to get into the door but it was worth the wait. Service is quick when you get a seat. Price is great for the huge portions you get, steak tips came with a side salad and a side of fries. Can't beat that anywhere! Will definitely be back when we're in the area again. read more

Great food and atmosphere just be prepared to pay the price for your food and drinks. The fun times with friends and family help to offset your thoughts about the new prices post-covid.

DELICIOUS steak tips and an unbeatable value for the meal overall! Their cooked to perfection, tender, and flavorful. I totally get the hype. If you like a good char they will be right up your alley. Even while the place was super busy, they still handled my take-out order smoothly. I'll need to try dining in soon!

My husband and I have been seeing a lot of social media reviews on this restaurant and we did attempt to go one night but the line was pretty long outside so we kept on driving, but yesterday we decided to attempt it again and this time we succeeded and without a doubt everyone was right.... AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS steak tips! Everything was yummy from the salad to the tips to the onion rings and fries! Kudos to this establishment! And the employees were just as awesome and personable! It is however, a smaller restaurant but worth the wait if you have one! We lucked out and were seated upon entering! read more

Food and service were great. No frills, good food local place. The place for steak tips.

I've been hearing about Champions for a while. I love great steak tips and I have tried all the local popular places that serve tips. While I've enjoyed a few other places, I can honestly say these tips were beyond delicious, and the best I've ever had. You also get a very fair portion. If you're in the area, I highly recommend Champions Pub. read more

The steak tips are the best ever!! Walk in's only so I recommend you go on off hours.

Longtime bucket list, first time visit for their much-talked-about steak tips, and first visit was very impressive. Steak tips: Humongous portion, choice of side, and salad included, making it a great value even at $27 and change. Nice char, strong grill flavor, cooked to medium rare as asked, very tender, juicy, and just enough sauce to complement and not overwhelm. Flavorful mix of what seemed like Italian, teriyaki and barbecue to produce a whole greater than (and different from) the sum of its parts. Only downside: a few of the bites had gristle, but just a few. Overall: outstanding. Lived up to the hype. Onion rings: Clam shack version, very thin, very crisp batter. None of that puffy stuff. So right up my alley. Buffalo wings: Tried in an appetizer combo where you can pick any two from the menu. Just enough crispness, but exceptional juiciness and tenderness. Very piquant sauce that brought sourness along with heat. Pork shanks: On the bone, guessing cooked some other way first and then deep fried, served with a small dollop of barbecue sauce on top and a small pool below. Surfaces didn't look promising, but juiciness underneath came through. Moist and tasty throughout, with crispness on top. Not just dependent upon sauce. Service: It's basically a bar, but very very pleasantly surprised by the superb service from my main server Jackie and two others who also tag teamed efficiently. Friendly, enthusiastic ambassadors who exuded what hospitality is all about. All this and parking too. Great steak tips and so much more. read more

Best tips ever. Great with onion rings. Been going here for years and never disappointed. Recommend them highly.

I was in the Peabody/Salem area and checked out Champions after hearing some rave reviews about the Steak tips. They did not disappoint! Juicy, with a sweet slightly tangy marinade- the slight char of the grill added depth, so good! I got the steak frites which needed salt but paired well with an extra side of buffalo and blue cheese dressing. I wasn't sure if the cherry peppers came with so made sure to ask for them. The portion of tips was generous and the entree included the salad and fries and overall was a good deal as it turned into at least 2 meals. This popular spot was packed on a rainy Saturday- there was a bit of a line but since I was traveling alone I slid right into an open spot at the bar. Paired with some cold beer and friendly convos with regulars I had a great time! Great food, good service and atmosphere... next time might try the onion rings or rice pilaf as a side and the burger looked amazing . I'll stop by again if ever in the area, check it out! read more

Yesterday my wife got the steak tips they were perfect. I switched it up a little. I got the turkey tips. There were moist and juicy and just like I like them a little charred she got the onion rings. I got the french fries and we shared also, it comes with a salad your favorite dressing two Coca-Cola's and the bell was very reasonable. I highly recommend this place but get there early because it gets busy. read more

Great food and service, drinks were also great, went in for the late lunch went home with leftovers, tips were very good.

The best , authentic at everything, no frills just perfection at its finest, especially if you love steak tips and onion rings

We went around 5pm on a Friday night. Prime time and busy! Don't be fooled by the exterior. You might be a little scared off, but once inside it's lively. They'll take care of you. You'll be alright. We heard about their steak tips and had to try it out. It came with a side salad and choice of fries, onion rings, or rice pilaf. We (two adults, toddler) put in two orders ($27 each) of steak tips (one with rice pilaf and the other with onion rings) and we had plenty leftover. Onion rings were crispy, lightly battered. Toddler picked off our plates. You can probably share one plate among two adults, but you'll be wanting to take some leftover home! The BEST steak tips I have had...like I was dumbfounded for a hot second after the first bite. So delicious. Very tender, tasty marinade, and cooked to perfection. It was a bit of a wait to get seated, but definitely worth it. Line moved though. They have sit down booths, high top tables, and seating at the bar. Once seated, service was excellent - food came out fast and fresh! Multiple people checking in on us despite it being packed. They got a system down, like a well oiled machine. We ate quick - a long line was forming to the outside and we wanted others to enjoy the food and warmth from the cold. Will definitely be back! read more

Steak Tips, Wings, Salads We love Champions. It's a local pub with simple food, but the steak tips and turkey tips are excellent. The steak fries are worth every calorie, too. Champions is on our and most people's top 10 list of north shore steak tip institutions. The rice and salad are very simple too, but well worth it. Despite other reviews we have always had good service, but this is a dive pub, so set your expectations accordingly. Tip: Get a burger, the char broiler in the back of the bar is pretty special. Champions is not our favorite steak tip joint, but it is one of the better spots with the bar atmosphere and nice family ran atmosphere. Thanks read more

Been hearing about the tips, and well, they are less than two miles from home so we decided to try them yesterday. It's kind of dark and divey, sports bar look. Bar is simple, with about ten stools. A couple of tables, and they even have 8 top tables for groups. I think this would be an excellent place to watch the Patriots! Food: Hubs, of course, got the steak tips, med rare. We saw the chef cooking everything, and he was masterful at juggling it all. The tips were dark, juicy, tender, so frickin tender! As well as cooked perfectly. The fries were frozen, but who cares when you get that much meat? Oh, and hubs said the juices were also perfect for the fries. I opted for a basket of fried shrimp; pretty good! Nice batter! And a Greek salad. The feta cheese was the only thing that made it Greek; otherwise, it was a green salad. The dressing was good. Prices were really fair for what we got, portion size, and tastiness! read more

I thought of nothing else since we got home from our trip and can't wait to go back. Such an amazing experience! Thank you to all! read more

I been to New Bridge & had a better meal. I mite give Campions another shot not sure cause its an hr drive read more

Great steak tips! Friendly staff and fast service. Visited for the first time on 11/20/25.

Champions serves the best steak tips I've ever had! I love bringing friends and family from out of town to try them. The rest of the food is unimpressive. I have tried a couple other menu items and now I just stick to the steak tips. And skip the side salad. Tip: the portion of the steak tip dinner is generous! Two people can share it, or one person will have leftovers to bring home. Champions is definitely very, very local. Everyone knows one another. A Peabody local introduced me to Champions and told me all about the interesting history of the steak tip recipe. He also told me about how one of the current owners started as a server. It's so impressive and heartwarming! What a great legacy this place has. For the most part, service is good! Unfortunately, one server has really bad vibes. I don't want to get into it except that it's consistent. It's because of him that I feel unwelcome and worry that he might be rude to people I bring to Champions. read more

I came here with my mom for lunch today. We arrived before noon and were able to get seats right away. The bartender greated us and took our drink order pretty quickly, but it took quite a while for him to come back to take our food order. I got the steak tips and my mom got the turkey tips. Each meal came with a basic side salad and side (choice of rice, onion rings or fries). A waitress dropped off our meals- the meat portions were huge, two people could have easily shared one meal. The steak was juicy and cooked to a perfect medium, but the sauce they put on it was super sweet and really off putting. The turkey was cooked without sauce, but was on the dry side. Once the food was delivered, we never saw our waitress again. We had to flag her down for drink refills and after she dropped off the check, she never returned so we had to flag down someone else to pay. I see other comments referencing the customer service, and I definitely observed that regulars and friends received better service. If you come to this small local bar, you will definitely need to bring your patience. read more

It was a lot of hype. Very small place .the stpeak tips were marinated in a sauce that was overwhelming. if you have a good piece of meat, you don't have to put a lot of sauce on it. I don't get it. read more

Couldn't imagine a worse person to order from. You'll see him for yourself. Walks around miserably and has NO customer service running in his blood. Who hired this guy? I called tonight for his name and they said they weren't permitted to get it. We waited an hour and a half for a to go order and when I asked what was happening they bagged our food up in one minute. I complained that I watched our food get cold and all this jerk did was ask me if I paid yet and took my credit card off the table and ran it! if I see him in my line of work, I'd do better. I'm so put off this place now. read more
