First time here. The wait time for a booth was very short, even on a busy night. The drink, Papa Don't Peach, was great. The Black Jack and Fried Chicken Sliders were awesome. The tab was very affordable. Great spot for a date night.

Let’s be real: the only reason Seven Saints is still in business is because it’s the only spot in Chambana that pulls off a semi-bohemian, city vibe. They’ve cornered the market on “urban chic in a small town,” which makes it easy to monetize mediocrity.
The food? Fine. On a good day, a solid 7/10. The service? So unbelievably bad it felt like performance art. After sending back a flat Coke Zero (a $4 insult in itself), I had to double-check whether the waitress spit in my food. The follow-up? An over-salted salmon salad and yet another flat drink—this time a beer for my friend, who was too terrified to return it for fear of retaliation.
To their credit, the atmosphere was great, and we were determined to enjoy lunch. But the endless interruptions (“Do you want a box yet? Are you okay? Ready for the check?”) wore thin fast. The grand finale? My plate being taken away while I still had my fork mid-air on the way to my mouth.
So, yes—come here if you want flat drinks, overpriced lettuce with 2 oz. of salmon, and the constant suspicion that returning an item might result in food sabotage. The vibe is good, but the service is so bad it overshadows everything else. Be extra nice to your waitress—unless you want to suffer the consequences.

The menu is quite simple, honest, but we found the sandwiches a bit dry and without anything 'special'. My Club Sandwich was one of the simplest versions I've ever tasted. It looked like bread with cheese and slices of turkey breast. The waffle fries were okay, as was the cheesecake. Our waitress was very nice and helpful. We were in the additional room and the wall was extremely dirty, full of dust, which gave me an impression of uncleanliness. Overall, an okay place.

I struggled to order something I would like. I LOVE salmon, but ALL the salmon is marinated, so I couldn't order any salmon dish that was just grilled salmon, without the marinade. What I ordered didn't impress me and my husband wasn't impressed with his order either. He had a BLT and he had diarrhea by the time we got home, 10 minutes away. The bread was saturated in butter. I had the tilapia fish tacos. I did not like the fish being breaded, and there wasn't a lot of good flavor or toppings. The patio was pretty nice, however, it got a bit noisy but then the noisy people left so that helped. However, there was a guy sitting out there smoking pot. That does not improve any environment anywhere, and doesn't help the food taste, either. Most restaurants don't allow smoking in the eating area. That would help.

The sliders are a bit of a ripoff. They are tiny and cost 5-6 dollars each. The salads are put in tiny bowls which makes it a hassle to eat. The soup is okay but nothing worth the price. Overall, it's fine food but too expensive for the quality.

Wow! Try every slider that slightly interests you, all of them are absolute bangers... Beyond impressed never thought elevating the humble slider was something missing from diet but they earned a permanent dot on the map. Service and vibe is top notch, check them out!

Although the sliders are a little small, they are delicious. The new combinations on the menu, one is a slider, 1 side & 1/2 salad make it a filling meal. Their onion rings were cooked perfectly and tasty. My wife appreciated all the different combinations available on the new menu. The tomato bisque soup is very flavorful. Our server, Bella, was very helpful with making decisions about menu.
Big space with loud rooms, quiet rooms and outside seating.

This spot nails the aesthetic — Wednesday Addams meets modern bistro. Dark, stylish, and a little dramatic in the best way. Service was impressively fast, and the food? Absolutely delicious. From the appetizers, salads, to the sliders. Every dish was full of flavor, and the beer selection was on point.

Really pleasant restaurant and bar in downtown Champaign across from the Amtrak/bus terminal. Well executed sliders of multiple types of gourmet protiens that are pretty large and a reasonable value for money anchor the menu along with other elevated pub fare. Solid draft beer list including multiple local drafts, and extensive whiskey list with daily half-off rotating promotions (e.g. all Canadian, or all bourbon half off). Very friendly and knowledgeable staff are a refreshing and welcoming addition.
