“First time we went to Champs i ordered the Hole In One (chicken cordon bleu on texas toast) and I was hooked. Everytime we went back i ordered the same thing and it was great every time. Last night I decided to try something new. I got the boneless wings with the dill pickle rub. AMAZING!! I think i found a new favorite. Our young lady that served us was exceptional. I have to say, we have NEVER had bad food or service there. Keep up the great work Champs!!“

“We love Johnnys pizza! Probably our favorite in the area! Beer is cold and their wings are delicious as well. The only downfall is the wait staff could use some serious improvement. Many times we have felt frustrated with how long we've had to wait for drinks, to order, for refills, a to go box, our check etc. . Its not a deal breaker because we really enjoy the food but we would leave a lot happier and less frustrated if the server was more attentive.“
