Sports restaurant-bar draws fans who love the food as much as the game.

by Contributor

In Short
Using their original burgers-and-beer joint in St. Paul, Minn., as a base modl, this sports-themed chain is now a popular hangout for all ages nationwide. The memorabilia-loaded space is crowded with families and friends chatting over chili cheeseburgers, bourbon-glazed pork chops and large orders of soups and salads. On major game nights, the shiny wooden bar area is packed with small groups eyeing the monitors above while cheering or grumbling into their pints and fries.

Food

The food is always good at any Champps you go to. Large portions of food and you always get your moneys worth. No need to make reservations during the day unless for a quite large group.

• Pros: Good Parking, Large Groups

EXCELLENT FOOD!

This is a great place to go to relax and have a GREAT meal! The servers are friendly, fun and usually pretty quick. Although some reviews call this place a "meat market", it is still a nice place to go as a couple, small group or family. The restaurant is separate from the bar, in this location, so bringing children is not a problem. We have found that anything we have ever ordered has tasted WONDERFUL! So, we would recommend the Maplewood Champps to EVERYONE!!

• Pros: Quality of food, Quantity of food, Service usually good
• Cons: At times VERY Crowded, Parking on weekends
