I found myself around the area at lunch time and Champps was right next to my hotel. Went in for a quick bite and was impressed at the experience. Food - I had a tweak from the menu and they were very accommodating. Had a grilled chicken club sandwich on a regular bun (don't like club sandwiches on toast because it always cuts the roof of my mouth). The sandwich had good flavor and the portion size was right on target. Service - I sat at the bar for a few reasons. 1. When you are traveling alone you get better conversations. 2. You get a feel of what the place is like. 3. You get better service. All three were achieved at this visit. Atmosphere. - Good place to watch games as the tvs were huge. They also had a nice dining area where you could get away from the bar atmosphere if you wanted. Would recommend as all three areas were checked. read more

Stopped here to watch UK in SEC tournament so I sat at the bar. I had great service while watching the game. The wait staff had great camaraderie amongst themselves which played over into their service. The food I had was excellent: burnt ends with corn in the cob and sweet potato fries. The meat was cooked to perfection~ crispy in the outside and tender on the inside. It was glazed lightly with a chipotle BBQ that was just the right touch. read more

The team at champs does such a wonderful job. The food is fresh, hot and delicious and the drink selection is mighty. Can't beat this place during a game day. Just get there early if the Packers are playing. read more

I have not been to a Champps in since I was in college. I use to love the wing specials and cheap beer. I recently moved back to Brookfield and decided to give this place a try after a long, long, I mean long hiatus. Excellent. Service and food. The bar had a large walk in party of about 30 people. It definitely slowed service down. The part that was impressive was how they handled the situation. They realized we had been waiting for a while and offered us a free drink. We ordered our food which was also very good. I got a deep frIed monte and my fiancé got a pasta. Both excellent. We will be back. read more

Generous portions of great food! I was here recently with a group from work for a sort of team building dinner. There were about 9 or 10 of us, and our server handled the group extremely well! She was always there to get you another drink if you were running low or out. Everyone's food looked amazing and I heard no complaints about any of it! Some people's portions were absolutely huge! The chicken pot pie and the Bourbon Street Pasta were two items I remember a couple co-workers having and they were very generous with those portions. I can imagine they had some great leftovers though! I ordered the Baja Shrimp Street Tacos. They have spiced shrimp, four pepper slaw, avocado, Mexican cheese, pico de gallo, salsa, sour cream, pineapple-jicama salsa on flour tortillas. These were fantastic! I want to try so many other menu options at Champps, but with how good these street tacos were I will have a very difficult time not ordering them again! read more

I seem to get here every other month or so. Lunches, dinners, or just for beers. I figured it was about time I posted a review. In short, a great spot for all types of visits. First, a killer tap beer list that changes often. Something for everyone on the list. And they have happy hour Mon-Fri from 3:00-6:00 PM! Also, this is a sports bar/restaurant and they have tons of TV's with a variety of programming being shown. You can sit anywhere and have a clear line of sight to various games. Second, a great menu with again, something for everyone. They also have a variety of items that change often to keep it a little bit fresh. Food and service has always been excellent in my experience. And check out their app for various specials! So why only four stars? Frankly, I find it a touch on the pricey side. But with all the other positives, I keep coming back and will continue to do so. Just not as often as I would really like to. read more

Went for dinner with my wife, we wanted to talk and not worry about cooking for ourselves. Champps is not the place to have a conversation. A blend of 80s rock, and top 40 hits assaults your ears and the large open dining room echoes, making it incredibly difficult to carry on a conversation. Part of checking the place out was the beer list. I've heard good things about it. But there was no beer menu on my table, or any table. I didn't feel like asking our waitress for help and settled on a diet soda. Maybe I need to check online for the list? But I think that's a terrible way to run your bar. When the food arrived it was nothing special, basic sports bar/pub/bar and grill type fare you can get anywhere. The Big Rig, basically a pile of Thanksgiving leftovers can feed 2-3 people. Korean street tacos, a very generous portion, were pretty good. And throughout this experience it seemed like our waitress was just phoning it in. Asked for napkins, wait 5 minutes. As for a box and the check. Get the check first, then the box, then wait for her to return with the check. Just underwhelmed and unimpressed. Champps Americana, 0/10, would not Champps again. read more

I went by myself and was seated. For the next 10 minutes, I sat there and numerous servers walk by and no one said anything. I just walked out. Pathetic! read more

Over the years I have been invited to many a happy hour at champs, but since Brookfield isn't really my jam and it's miles from home base, I never made it. I ended up here for a work dinner last week however, and I really kind of liked it! It sort of reminded me of a bw-3 on steroids. Bright and bustling, with huge tv's with different sporting events everywhere. Tons of bars and tables (or so it felt) and a hectic, lively atmosphere. They had a nice beer list along with some mixed drinks. We had a ton of the apps--the Kobe sliders in particular were big enough to make a meal out of. I had the soup and salad combo which was huge! I could barely finish half of it. The baked potato soup was everything you'd want that type of soup to be, thick cheesy with tons of bacon (a tad salty but that's just me.) The Caesar's salad was nicely dressed. (I love a Caesar salad with tons of dressing, but if you don't I'd ask for the dressing on the side. So I'm not up this way much but if I am, I would definitely stop in here again! read more

Outstanding place for large groups for viewing sports. The food while consistent is large in portion is equally consistent as very average. Specifically o couldn't site one dish good or bad that really was memorable. Had been a regular customer of CHAMPPS in NJ until they closed read more

Great food, better service! Waitress was the best we have had in a long time! Lots of good food and beer choices!

I am a huge fan of Champp's as is most people based on how busy they always are. The beer selection is pretty outstanding and I can always get something that interests me. Prices aren't posted on the beer menu so if you are concerned just ask. The food is awesome in quality and portions. Services has always been good and you can see the managers working hard along with the employees. It can get noisy so be prepared for that. We come here often... probably more than any other place. Check out BeerMenus.com to see what they currently have on tap.... no other place in Brookfield has their selection. read more

I love the menu, has a lot to choose from and they usually get our orders correct. Have not eaten in the restaurant.

Great sports bar. Staff is super attentive. The food is consistently good. Beer is super cold with a great selection. I've eaten several meals there and everything has been top quality. Easily the cleanest sports bar I've ever been to. They have this rock star cleaner behind the bar. He deserves a big raise. Tons of TV's to watch your favorite game. The place to go for food and sports. read more

Champps Americana - Just a great place to be - American Near Me - Brookfield, Wisconsin

Awesome food and fun atmosphere. Their salads are huge and delicious! Sandwiches are also great and service is wonderful for the most part! Highly recommend stopping by! read more

This place is amazing. I've been going here for the past couple years and every time I come here it keeps getting better. They have tons of tvs so you can watch sports. Came here all the time while the Milwaukee Bucks were in the NBA Finals and it was amazing every time I was there. The atmosphere made me feel like I was at the actual game. Will definitely keep coming back read more

Who knew Champps had such a great craft beer?! Ballast, Founders, Lagunitas, Central Waters, Deschutes, Left Hand? I was impressed. I throughly miss the Champps on 76th street (El Beso) so since I was in the area, I had to stop in. Their potato soup is the best ever. Croutons, cheese, potato soup- nothing to complain about there. I've always loved their Monte Cristo sandwich and found it bittersweet (dramatic much?) when the server told me they would no longer be offering it in a few weeks. I say bittersweet because I was glad I had a chance to get it but sad it was going away. My mom accompanied me and she enjoyed a shrimp salad, one of their specials. Her only complaint was the salad didn't have enough dressing on it. This was easily remedied by the server bringing more for her. Our server was attentive and funny. Will need to make more of an effort to come out this way! read more

Great atmosphere, awesome selection on menu, Employees were all really nice. Food quality is good and service was fast.

Great food, friendly and delightful staff huge beer selection and a great view of the game

After spending a couple hours at Champps last night for dinner, I woke up in the middle of the night with brutal stomach cramps and proceeded to vomit for the next eight hours. I am here in Milwaukee for business, and was saddened to miss all of my morning meetings because I was stuck in the hotel room battling this illness. I thought I would be nice and do the restaurant a favor. I called and asked to talk with the manager. The manager got on the phone, I shared with him that I had eaten a shrimp salad the night before, and was thinking it might have been my dinner that had made me sick. I just wanted him to know, and as I shared with him, help pull anything off of their shelves that may cause anyone else to go through this. He was quick to interrupt me and tell me that it was not their lettuce, and that food poisoning only kicks in after 24 to 36 hours so it could not be their food. I was trying to be helpful and was asking for nothing in return. No reimbursement, no food coupons, just wanted to give them a heads up. I was quite disappointed with his response and his lack of kindness or appreciation for the call. read more

We were there for a party about a year ago and were impressed with the food and atmosphere. We do not live near here, so it is not a place we would go to regularly, but that is only because of the distance. Today my sister and I went shopping and we went to Champps for lunch. This sister can be a picky eater, so I was hoping she would like it. Well she loved it! She had the half sandwich (reuben) and soup (french onion) She said both were great and the soup had so much cheese. I had the half sandwich (reuben) and soup (chicken noodle) Both were fantastic. When I order soup I dislike it when you get mostly broth, however that is not a problem here. The reubens were great, even though I am not a fan of the dark rye bread, it complimented the sandwich very nicely. They put on the right amount of meat and sauerkraut. I would have liked a bit more thousand island dressing on it, not much, just a touch, but maybe some soaked into the bread when I was eating my soup?? I had a soda and she had an iced tea. All in all, I will be going there again when I get back in the neighborhood, or I may have to make a special trip when the weather warms up. The prices are good, we both ate for $26 + tip, not bad at all. read more

Love this place. Good food and great service. We have never been disappointed. The last time we were there, the service was dare I say, exceptional! We were sat immediately, the waiter was extremely attentive, the beer was COLD, and the food was hot and fresh!!!! I love love love love this place. read more

Celebrated Mothers Day with a small group outing for dinner. We've been here numerous times and remember when the chain started in the Twin Cities a few years ago. The food was good, service was satisfactory and the cookie dessert excellent. Lots of big screen TV's going with baseball, hockey, golf, poker and more. read more

Let's start with the key - this is a chain restaurant not a 5-star place. I'm saying 5 stars because this particular store is leaps and bounds better than any other Champps I've been to or for that matter any of the other chains they compete with (BW3s, Fridays, etc). Food - It's good. I can get a few different things here that I enjoy. I love the quesadilla, the burgers are good, the dry rubbed wings are way better than their regular fried wings. On a food level I prefer this to the other chains. Service - Consistently adequate, occasionally great. More importantly, I've been here probably 10 times and it's never been bad and in the space that's a difference maker. Sports - Lots of TVs visible from everywhere. They have the Sun Ticket package and show all the key games. They use a "DJ" to skip commercials from the audio tracks when the key games are running. BEER! - Oh Yes this is a beer joint. You didn't know Champps was a beer geek heaven? Well this one is. Their owner is a bit of a beer geek himself and has turned the bar into a wide collection of TAPS with high end micro-brews and specialty tappings and events. Here's their current beer list: https://www.beermenus.com/places/14023-champps-americana read more

If you haven't been here in a while I suggest giving it another try . Their menu use to be big ... Almost to big . They have now made it smaller and more limited , which I think increased the food quality . They have the best homade potato soup Their Bloody Mary is another must try . They have taco Tuesday , $2 off any taco meal . They have a new Korean taco that is super flavorful and a generous portion amount . The space is open concept and a great place to watch any sports games or fights . They have a side room you can rent out for parties as well . It's a great place to eat with the family , they have a few old school arcade games in the back by the bathrooms . They have a little bit of every kind of food from burgers , pastas to pizza . Defiantly not your average pub food ! Not a fan of the chicken taco . Skip that one . read more

We came for lunch the day before Thanksgiving and we were greeted and seated promptly. The menu was pretty extensive however, no specials are included. Our waitress Bailey was nice but after she dropped the menus off she left. I flagged her down to order 15 minutes later and she apologized for forgetting us. Our party ordered a cheeseburger, pulled pork sandwich and a Cobb salad. The order came out pretty quick which probably offsets getting forgotten. All the food was prepared well and all tasty. If you like sports, this place has a zillion TVs with ball games. I would return and recommend Champps. read more

Enjoying the Big Bloody Mary special $6.99, 25 oz drink on Sunday afternoon. Great sandwiches and burgers and the best hot wings in my opinion. Good selection of decent bar food with entrees too. Excellent salads and soup. read more

Had the Bucks game on great atmosphere to catch a game .. very good service food was also good . Only reason it's not a 5 star was it was just a little to loud for my taste . We had to yell at each other to talk . When there was a break in the game and noise a dj chimed in make useless noise . Just didn't get the hole DJ vibe in a restaurant read more

We have been coming to this place for years even though it's a bit far from our house. But we keep coming back because of great food and excellent service. This time it was not any different. Our waitress Tiffany was very friendly and knowledgable about the menu. The restaurant is very clean and the big TVs always have your favorite sports on. read more

My friends and I have been regulars at Champps for many years. Packers, Bucks and many other reasons to take our business there. Tonight was our last night. One of my friends regularly stands during games as do the rest of us. A guy behind him acted like a child and insisted he sit the entire game. Every time he stood, this guy had a fit. He even called a manager over. Keep in mind, the walls are covered in TVs any direction you look. As the manager insisted that Jon sit, and frankly he had no reason to, we left. As stated before, the guy behind us could have looked in any direction to see the game. This is no way to treat your customers and you have lost our business due to this. read more

My husband and I just recently stayed at the Country Inn for 2 nights and decided to give Champps a try since it was connected to the hotel. I cannot say enough good things about this restaurant/bar! The food is AMAZING, the service is even better! We ended up eating dinner there both nights and can't say enough good things about this place. First off the Baja shrimp tacos are hands down the best we've ever had, definitely recommend trying them. The homemade blue cheese potato salad is amazing, and I don't even care for blue cheese. Our second night 1/20/18 we had Olivia as our server, she is not only super sweet and nice but one of the best waitress we've had in a long time! We then finished the night at the bar, and the two girls that were working that night were the BEST! I hate that I didn't get their names, but they were smiling and on the ball ALL NIGHT! Those girls worked their butts off, and never stopped smiling and laughing with everyone! In all this place is awesome and deserves more than 5 stars! read more

This was our first time at Champps. It was a busy game day, but despite that Stephanie helped us to just the right table when she wouldn't necessarily have had to. She made the handoff and the service throughout was excellent. The food and setting are good. We enjoyed it and will be back. read more

Stopped in for dinner tonight. I ordered the Ruben which I have always found to he one of the better ones in the area. Big disappointment!! The skimpy portion of corned beef was cooked to an almost beef jerky like state. The bread was dry, I was very disappointed to say the least! I mentioned my disappointment to the server and was told that the cooks are new. She didn't seem concerned in the least with my dissatisfaction. Needless to say I won't be going back anytime soon! read more

ALWAYS a great beer selection, literally a beer lovers dream. Top notch wings and specials, overall great family place to go with a great sports environment! Food for everyone. read more

Champps is incredible. Every year their menu gets better, and the ingredients get fresher. Its a bit noisy on gameday, but thats probably why youre there! Stick to a visit off gameday, and enjoy their fantastic food! The nachos are amazing, but huge so be ready to share! Also, if you love meatloaf be sure to try it here, its the most unique and delicious meatloaf youll ever have. read more

Never been here until recent. Food was fuckin gas, potato skins were awesome and service was great. Definitely gonna come back

Enjoyed a lovely lunch today with a friend. I haven't been to champs in several years! I was happily surprised with my delicious salmon meal. The plank salmon was perfectly done and excellently seasoned. The mixed vegetables were very tasty. I wish the roasted sweet potato had been a little crispier. But overall it was a very good meal. My friend really enjoyed his gyro sandwich and Arnold Palmer's. It's definitely a great place to hang out and watch the game. And I noticed they seem to have some really good happy hour specials. I will definitely be back! read more

Champps is a great bar and restaurant. The food is consistently delicious, the servers are engaging and the atmosphere is upbeat. We visit Champps often because we like the variety of the menu, the quality of the food and we get treated well. read more

Good sports bar. TVs are easy to see and we watched our game. The Wisconsin cheese curds were crispy and the chewy texture made them the best part of the meal. Hubby's pork fettuccine, a special, was thick and heavy. He took 1/2 home. I couldn't decide on either a Rubin or a grilled shrimp salad. The waitress steered me to the salad. After I got more pesto ranch dressing, the salad had more flavor. The skewer of shrimp was perfectly grilled. Hubby's craft beers were tasty. We'll be back, but won't order either entree again. The service was okay. It's a good place to have a beer and watch games. read more

Living in NYC about 90% of my adult life I have met a pretentious bartender or 2, but nothing compared to the douche-baggery that I encountered at this place last night... kid you not, this jack off strutted about the bar serving his local mulleted buddies like he had just received the Heisman Trophy for bartenders. (first award that came to mind)... he really was just down right rude, it definitely stemmed from the fact that he was thirty five, balding, and still tending bar in Brookfield Wi.... So I wanted to forgive his man-period attitude because of his circumstances, but as the moments rolled by he made it harder and harder... If I could punch a specific look, it would be the one that he had plastered on his face as he twirled his bottle opener to show off for his inbred friends... this place is not worth going to, but chances are if you are cool enough to be on yelp, you are too cool to ever end up in this area anyways, so i would not worry... I had an excuse. read more
