I have read many good bings for Champion's steak tips. It is a local spot or bar. Beers on draft I ordered nice and cold. I ordered the steak tips and my only complaint if I was to have one was the limited options for the side. It was onion rings or rice . It came with a salad that was lame ... I'd drop the salad for a veggie or sauteed onions and grilled black green peppers . I ordered onion rings and excellent onion rings. I really wanted cream spinach, garlic spinach or mashed, or baked potato or corn , carrots anything? Grilled garlic green beans even better with my tips . Now, the steak tips are real deal tender , nice teriyaki I think was marinade . Huge portion in terms of lbs of steak tips . Nice char from grill on tips. All very good . Better to serve an option steak tips, grilled onions and grilled green peppers, mashed potato, grilled beans ,a single hot roll ... like a Santarpios option they offer peppers But, I get it... if it is working... why change... These tips are Massachusetts high ranking . read more

i called in to order steak tips at 11:30 am to be ready at 1 pm on tuesday 8/25/26. the woman on the phone said they don't take advance orders because "we don't know how busy we'll be." so if you've ordered here before, you can't tell if it will take 20 minutes or an hour for your order. i tried to tell her, how am i supposed to know how long it will take? she said they don't know how busy they will be within the next hour. i said okay, i guess i'll call back in a bit, she goes, "alrighty." in what world is "alrighty" an appropriate response for your incompetence at your job? i called back 25 minutes later, and she told me they would be ready in 20 minutes. okay, so you can make them in 20 minutes, lie about how busy you are, but you can't schedule them to be ready for 1 pm when someone calls an hour and a half before? alrighty. this was a special treat for a friend who lives about an hour away now, and i got them their favorite steak tips as a birthday lunch. i was trying to prepare and keep them warm after for at least an hour, they couldn't have been less interested. i asked for no salad and double rice, which they've done before. the same woman claimed that's not possible and that i had to buy an extra side of rice as well for $2.50. so there were double portions of rice plus an extra container of rice that wasn't actually needed or asked for. it was $39 for steak tips with double rice. the staff here really have no idea what customer service is. you don't have to be the nicest person on the planet, but to be rude because you don't have a system to appropriately prepare for customers, as a very popular restaurant, is wild. do better. champions pub is famous all over the north shore for their best steak tips. they are pretty good, but i don't understand how they are "the best." they're pretty good, that's it. everyone who loves champions will yell from the high hills that champions has the best steak tips. they are more "alrighty." it is located in an old, tiny building, not a very welcoming entrance or experience. i've only ordered steak tips from here for takeout a handful of times for other people, and they seem pretty regularly disorganized. when i picked up, there were about a dozen people eating, so it wasn't overly busy, and the staff were just okay in person. i won't be ordering from here again; if anyone wants champions, they can deal with that headache themselves. ambiance: 1/5 food: 4/5 drinks: n/a service: 1.5/5 champions pub: 2/5 read more

Champions Pub - steak tips & double rice - Pubs Near Me - Peabody, Massachusetts

Family members and I went to this restaurant a few days ago. Nobody was happy. My dad and brother got the steak tips. They said the meat was dry and more like flat pieces of steak cut up into 3-4 inch pieces of steak than "steak tips." More like, the tip of nothing. My dad who has a legendary appetite left his food half eaten. My brother called me the next day to apologize for taking me to a place that had obviously gone downhill since the last time he had eaten there. As a vegetarian, I expected to order a salad and was psyched when I saw on the menu that they offered a Greek salad. But what they brought was not a Greek salad. It was a big bowl of rusty iceberg lettuce. The server saw me picking the rusty lettuce out of the bowl and she sent it back to the kitchen. What they brought back was another massive bowl of cut up iceberg lettuce, with a couple pieces cherry tomatoes and cucumber, and a clump of feta on top. The chef needs to google the recipe for Greek salad. On the way out I mentioned to the server, "What you brought me was not a Greek salad." She said, "Well it's OUR Greek salad." Nope, that's not how this works. Just take it off the menu if you're not going to even try to make an effort, please. Also, can I just note that the ambience of this restaurant is like a medical waiting room. It wouldn't be that hard to try to create a more pleasant environment. Basically, anything would be an improvement. read more

There's a reason why the sirloin tips are mentioned in every single review. They really are the best. This is something I never would order by myself not a huge fan but here it was ridiculous. First off, I got the sirloin tips dinner with onion rings three others at my table of five also got the tips. The last person, our birthday girl opted for the fried shrimp appetizer, as she usually doesn't have much of an appetite. The fried shrimp appetizer had about nine very large shrimp and they were done perfectly. She would get that again. The servings range from 4 to 6 pieces so they're large. Mine had four I ate one in the restaurant and then one each for a couple of days for meals. Most people at the table ate two or three. We all love the onion rings. The fries were also very good. Which staff is efficient and pleasant and friendly knowing how busy this place is, we opted for a late lunch at 3 o'clock, and there were still four other tables eating steak tips. It's a little noisy inside like a dive bar but we were able to talk and enjoyed ourselves a lot. Highly recommend this place if you like steak tips. 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

Every time I go there for steak to dinner, it is cooked perfectly. The rice. Plow is out of the park. I could not recommend this place 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

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! Note that the portions are huge and if sharing with a group order a portion or 2 less than what you think you need. read more

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

If you're in the area, I highly recommend Champions Pub. read more

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

Very good food however they need a modern system to let their customers know that a table is ready. If you sit near the door you have people standing next to you while you eat. So a suggestion, Purchase devices that you can provide to the customer , in order to alert them when a table is ready. They can go sit in there car on cold days or stay outside when warm. Until a system is in place , I will not be back. Tony's in Lynn is Just as good. read more

People speak very highly of their steaks tips.I ordered them medium and they came back very rare, and hard to chew. Ok, stuff happens. But i found the marinade they use to be cloyingly sweet and unpalatable read more

They always had the best steak tips. Went there last night the signature marinade is gone, they were not tasty, the steak tips for the first time ever were tough, and chewy, and my steak fries must have been the bottom of the bag because they were only an inch long. Definitely not worth the $32.95 price tag!!!! Used to go quite often, now it will be a very long time before I go back again. 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

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

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.

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

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

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

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
