We stopped in to Champs the weekend of Herrinfesta. My wife and I only got drinks, but our friends…read morehad gotten there ahead of us and gotten food. They said the food was pretty good and they had been in several times. I've been back a couple times for drinks. Every time the staff has been receptive and the drinks are on the cheaper side. So overall I think it is a great place to stop in, although I still don't have experience with the food.

The Perfect Shot is a tiny bar in Herrin to play some pool and have a drink. I only went here…read morebecause my buddy's band was playing there. And I probably won't go back. However, if you live in that area and don't want to go to Carbondale, it's an OK place to hang out. The average crowd was a bit country and probably in the 30+. So if you're in your 20s and looking for a piece of action, you may want to go somewhere else.

Great people! I was there Saturday. The crowd was really fun. Bartenders and staff were great…read more Terrific venue to relax and have fun with friends. Here are my highlights: 1) They have a new TouchTunes juke box with an amazing sound system. If you love great music this is your place. The PhotoBooth and Karaoke feature was a blast. 2) They also have two new pool tables and new dart machines. I'm not much of a player but I believe they run leagues. 3) On a scale of 1-5, the beer garden and outside bar is a 4.8. Really fun out door seating around the bar or to watch live shows on the outside stage. They also have a dance floor inside. 4) The food was good. It's definitely above average for a Sports Bar. 5) They also have Las Vegas Style slots and poker machines coming in a few weeks. It was a really fun high energy night. I can't wait to go back.

The weather was perfect for it, and I love dining outside so when we walked in to be seated we asked for the balcony seating. You take the stairs up to the second floor and then walk out onto the balcony. Service was exceptional. Our waitress was knowledgeable, made suggestions, took our drink order and food orders quickly and brought everything right out. This time I ordered the chips and queso for a starter, and the chicken quesadilla for my meal. Both were very good. My husband had the CRP sandwich with crispy chicken and French fries. You can also get it with grilled chicken if you prefer. Everything came out hot and fresh. Large enough portions that half of everything went home for lunch the next day. Check them out!
