Restaurants in Calhan

“never had a bad experience here. staff is friendly, food is quick and hot. check it out if you're passing through”

“I’m not entirely sure why I’m giving Champs Chicken in Calhan four stars—probably because I want to support small businesses in small towns.
Calhan is a tiny town near the Painted Mines Interpretive Park, which I visited on March 1st. Around noon, I needed a bite before my hike and found only two food options nearby: Subway and Champs Chicken. I decided to give Champs a try.

This is a very small, walk-up food spot located inside a supermarket. There’s no seating, so I had to take my food to my car to eat. Only one employee was working, but she was incredibly pleasant and provided excellent service. I ordered a Champs Chicken Sandwich (à la carte) and a 3-piece chicken tenders with fries. Since they were out of chicken patties, she offered to use two tenders in the sandwich instead, which I accepted.

The food itself was hot, fresh, and filling. The fries were fried to order, and the portion size was decent. However, the experience took a hit when I realized that the ranch dipping sauce for the tenders was expired—I only noticed after getting back to my car. I didn’t go back to complain, but I’ve attached a photo showing the expired date (February, while I visited in March).

This Champs Chicken location doesn’t quite match up to other Champs Chicken franchises, but it’s a small-town spot with limited options. If you’re in Calhan and need a quick, filling meal, it’s an okay choice—but double-check your sauces!”

“The customer service at this location was top notch. The food was great, especially the Cinnamon Apples, but it wasn't all as hot as I prefer it. They also forgot to include the chicken with my 3 piece Tender meal, and when I told them, they hurriedly got it for me and apologized but when I got to my car I saw that they'd only put two tenders in the bag. Overall it was worth the money I spent, just don't expect them to be perfect.”

“What a remarkable team. I've had so many challenges to get my sandwiches right. However to tonight the staff was on point. Their customer service skills were more than accommodating. I'd recommend staff any time your looking for a 9 sliced sandwich! They also cut every meatball in half. They deserve a raise! Try that somewhere else!”

“lovely happy bar, great food and staff.”
