21 Best American Restaurants in Champaign

“Wonderful food wonderful restaurant wonderful people“

“The Mother’s Day brunch was very well coordinated and executed! It was super busy, but it didn’t impact service at all. And the food was delicious as always! Mi was our server, and she did a great job!“

“Great food served by wonderful people. The owners care so much about the quality of food and most often they are the ones cooking it. That’s why I recommend The Space! Swing by for lunch sometimes they get busy at dinner. Highly recommend!“

“I was there after what I assume is the busy time, so I had the dining room to myself. There was a steady stream of folks in the drive thru though. The "Deluxe Single Basket" was more than enough to fill me up. I had to buy a take-home pint, too full for dessert. The staff were friendly and at least one was always cleaning something.“

“Erica is the best waitress!“

“The food is delicious and the atmosphere is nice 😍“

“Place wuz 🔥 had da Philly cheeZe steak with the works super decent thanks again y’all“

“The staff and entire experience is absolutely phenomenal“

“The burgers and cocktails are amazing! The staff was super friendly!“

“Have always had a good experience here. Burgers have always been hot and fresh! I like the smash burger style with the crispy edges. Typically go for the curds as a side and they don't disappoint. My goto when I'm town and feeling a good burger...“

“How was a great experience great service good food nice atmosphere great place to go to“

“Had early dinner at the Big Grove and was completely blown away. Food was excellent with a variety of menu items that had me wishing my stomach was a bit bigger. I sat at the bar as I was dining alone and the bartender did a great job of explaining the various items I inquired about as well as suggesting a perfect craft beer pairing. I only get to Champaign a couple of times a year, but this will be my go-to anytime in the area.“

“Love friend chicken and 🍟“

“Great food and great beer! And our server Mesa was an absolute sweetheart! Thanks so much for the positive first experience! We will be back for sure.“

“Joshua was a fantastic server. The double frozen strawberry margaritas with salt, truffle fries and cheese curds were terrific. It was my first visit there and I look forward to going back. Our party of 7 had a blast.“

“It was great service!!! The guy who waited on us was wonderful!!!“

“Drinks were delicious. The waiters/ waitresses were very friendly and nice. This place has great cocktails and the appetizers were amazing.“

“The best place in town to get breakfast. The only thing I would say is get here early because they tend to get busy, just as any other breakfast place in town. The food always comes out hot, fresh, and very quickly. I'm honestly impressed with how consistent this place is.“

“Need to check your food orders. I ordered a cup of clam chowder and the container it came in was half full. Good thing I'm not starving.“

“Order from Door Dash, food was still nice and warm even on a -3 degree day! Mac N Cheese was super tasty. Chicken fingers a bit spicey for my taste but good. Chicken Gravy had LOTS of Black Pepper (too much for my liking). Sould tame it down on the Black Pepper on the Chicken and Gravy as those condiments can be added for each persons taste.“

“I am so glad I went here. At first I didn't know it was within a food market because there were no signs outside. The biscuit was the best I've had, and the sourdough toast tasted like it was made instead of processed like other places. The eggs were cooked to order, and all the staff were really friendly, even though it was really busy there. There is a lot of seating, and what is great about the setup is that you don't feel like you have to rush out of there. So I'm really glad I went here instead of a regular restaurant. I'd go back.“
