Champps Americana Brookfield

Went to Chammps for lunch and was very happy with our choice. We have been here a few times before and have always been pleasantly pleased. I got the Smashburger, which is two patties that comes with fried jalapeños on the top (see pic) It was perfectly cooked as a Smashburger should be with crispy edges on the burger patties, the jalapeños, although somewhat spicy, were not a distraction as to how good the burger was. My son got the Chammps American cheeseburger. My daughter got the jalapeño popper burger, and my wife got the chicken mac and cheese. Everyone was pleased with her choices. We got the cheese curds appetizer. They were very cheesy although a bit too garlic for our taste. The service was top-notch as usual, a lot of Cub fans, and Brewer fans starting to come in for the playoff game. Although we didn’t have any beers with our lunch, the beer selection on draft here is also top-notch. Rotating seasonal lines and new special offerings from different breweries, make this a go to place for someone looking for something a little different (and very fresh)on tap. There are multiple TVs all around the bar area that are visible from the restaurant seating area featuring many different sporting events that were going on throughout the day. Will definitely be back.

Really cool atmosphere and music vibe. 70 R/R and some modern. Servers very attentive and pleasant Ordered salmon superfood salad and raspberry lemonade. Salad was super yummy with a great layout (see pic). Lemonade wasn't too sweet and had great raspberry tartness with a lemon slice. I will be back very soon to explore other dishes. Thanks team for the great experience

Amazing Mac n Cheese and had the best waitress. Very good will definitely be coming back!

Great place for beer and food. While the food is very good, it's really the beer that is the star here. Some of the best beers available, that you're unlikely to find anywhere else in the Milwaukee area. Suggest looking at the beer menu right before you visit, as it changes frequently. Usually quite a busy place, so be prepared to be patient. Staff has always been fantastic when I've been there. Parking can seem busy as it's part of a hotel complex, but there's always space if you look. All in all, a wonderful place for beer, food and atmosphere. Highly recommend a visit.

Chicken wings were nice and tender. I liked the mac n cheese more. Also ordered the birria tacos and those were good too! Good service and good parking!

We came in from NYC VISITED Milwaukee on a couples trip and stayed at the Embassy next door to Champps. We didnt expect the food to be SO DELICIOUS. WOW they did not disappoint. We visited Champps 3 times on our 6 day trip. The food was fresh, delicious and always made to order. A lot of different variety of foods to try. Our servers were ALL AMAZING. They are very quick to take order and are always paying attention to the table. Love the customer service. Even the hosts were amazing. Thanks for the hospitality. We will See you in 2025.

We hosted an event at Champps in the banquet room. The food was very good, the room was clean with easy access to the technology. Our server was on top of everything and took great care of us. Thank you!

The overall atmosphere is fine, the only reason I gave three stars is because it gets loud which triggers my anxiety. I've been there a few times, I always get their garlic cheese curds. They are usually very tasty, but last time they tasted microwaved and old. I do highly recommend the chicken tenders and pot pie. The chicken tenders are extra crispy outside and juicy on the inside.

Stopped in cause we had a gift card. It's been many years since I've been here. This place is huge and great for big groups, large bar with an even larger tap list so I love that. We don't live close by otherwise maybe we'd come more often. Ordered an app sampler and honestly that could've been our whole dinner, it was very good but also huge portions. We also ordered a bacon cheeseburger to share and took home a pizza. The pizza was probably my least favorite. It wasn't bad, I just prefer thin crust

Dined here on a Packer-free Sunday and had a great experience. I met two others for lunch and everyone enjoyed. The staff was very friendly as I had a baby stroller with me and showed me the ramp to take to the dining area versus the stairs to the main dining area. The place is ADA complaint from what I saw. There is no shortage of televisions and sports! They even had a printed diagram on every table noting which tvs had what games playing. We didn't come for sports, but I could tell those gathered around the large main bar were. They have a great food selection and lots of beer on tap! I went with a burger and soup. They have several soups always ready plus a rotating daily soup. We enjoyed bloody Mary's which were good, they do charge for a chaser...which come on we're in WI! The food was good and service was great as we had a little one with us and patience was key. They didn't rush us either, as we dined and chatted for a few hours. I would return as there were a few other sandwiches on their menu that sounded delicious! It appears they have a private room available for rent as well. Note for mothers; there is a changing table for children in the women's bathroom.

Was just okay during this visit. Maybe the items are better when ordered on their own? This is the third time I've had the potato skins but first via the sampler and they were not as good as the first two times. The curds and chicken tenders were good but only thing worth while on the sampler - so would be better off ordering separately! Service was also okay. We were seated in the bar section which was really loud, right upon seating she tried getting our full order in (not just drinks) we didn't even have our coats fully unsettled. My friend asked where the bathroom was after placing drink order and stating we needed more time with the menu. The instant she sat back down from the bathroom the waitress came back trying to get our food order... we noted she just got back from the bathroom and we would probably need a few minutes to review- it's a big menu! Well that resulted in a 10 plus minute wait! From rushed to order to what is time?! Previous experiences have been good here and this was a similar time later evening so not sure why food/service just didn't meet the same.

Champps was in walking distance of our hotel so we gave it a shot. The host was friendly when we entered and we were seated right away. It's a sports bar vibes, lots of tvs so football Sunday is a go. Our waitress was very attentive and made sure to answer any questions we had. We ordered chips and queso to start and the queso was really good. Seasoned and cheesy perfection and the chips were served warmed. The tacos I had were a Korean beef and it came with jasmine rice. I enjoyed the fusion tacos. It was an enjoyable lunch if im ever in the area Ill came back for their cheesecake dessert.

I visited Champps for the first time bc it was right next door to my hotel. I'm from the south, so this was my first time hearing of this restaurant! I sat at the bar, ordered a mimosa and got the sampler off the appetizer menu. The sampler was enough to fill me up. It came with 4 potato skins, 5 buffalo wings, cheese curds, and 4 chicken tenders. Also you get about 5 sauces. I had to take some to go! Service was great as well! This place seem to be very popular bc it was packed and I arrived less than an hour after they opened.

Excellent food. The wait staff was excellent. I would recommend the place for a lunch for 2 or 20.

Had a very tasty Burger and Soup combo. They offer a choice of any 1 patty burger on the regular menu and choice of about 5 different soups. This was the French onion soup and 1/4 pound burger with bacon, lettuce, tomato, onion and pepper jack cheese for $14. The wait staff was very friendly and patient with our table of six.

Service has always been great, food very good and service has been outstanding over the many shortages in the industry. You have always been able to consistently hold staff. I find the atmosphere a little too loud at times but that is not your fault, that is the game plan.

Easily the best sports bar in the area. Good food and an incredible beer selection. I enjoy how many different Oktoberfest beers they feature during that season. Excellent service as well.

Chose to go to Champps tonight with friends. The service was good but i was disappointed with the temperature of all our meals. They must have sat for awhile. Soups lukewarm, grilled chicken on salad was cold, fries cold. Disappointing to say the least. My server took my soup back and microwaved it. My friends decided to take their cold food to go.

This was the new restaurant of the week and a long time bookmark that I have past hundreds of times going to WM. The place is an open concept and huge with a bar in front and tables/booths spreading out from the bar. Probably the most flat screens I have seen on one sports bar. Service was prompt with no issues. I started with a Bloody Mary spicy that came with a chaser that had a sad looking garnish of one olive and one pickle spear, actually pathetic looking for a Bloody Mary and I have them all over. The Bloody Mary was actually above average taste wise and very spicy that my nose ran, thank you. Since I'm always trying new dishes from restaurant to restaurant and not that I haven't had it before but I just don't order like a cheeseburger all the time so I gambled on the Philly cheese steak with my despised waffle frys that came quickly and looked good. The despised waffle frys weren't hard like I have had in the past from other restaurants but warm/soft on the inside with the crispy shell half way to soggy so they weren't cooked to order hot from the fryer but still good. The Philly cheesesteak was delicious with chopped steak, not sliced roast beef like some places pass off. The hoagie roll was soft/super fresh with moist juices from what the steak was cooked in. The grilled onions, mushrooms and green peppers were cooked perfectly and the cheese was melted perfectly. Cheesesteaks can be hit or miss but this one was pretty good.

I have been going to Champps for years with a group of friends for happy hour on a weekly basis. It has been about 10 years to be exact, the place has gone through some changes but remains our spot. The staff has always been amazing, even with the turn over, they are friendly and helpful. They know what to recommend for beers and liquors. The atmosphere is unbeatable. Whether you are there to watch a game on one of the MANY TV's or just to hang out there is always a good mix of personalities and plenty of people to talk to. During games the energy is electrifying! If you are tired of sitting at home alone to watch any sport, I highly recommend you grab a bar stool and settle in. What I have not done much of is eat at Champps, but last weekend while out with my kids we needed a place with options that would suit everyone and Champps came to mind because of the extensive menu. I ordered the Korean Tacos, which is my go to when I do eat, and as always they were delicious. My kids ordered a cheese pizza and the ribs. The cheese pizza was not a hit and was described as "any fast food place is better". From what I could tell the crust was soggy and had zero crunch which may have to do with the condensation that form when transferring a hot pizza to a plate. The ribs were acceptable, the meat was tender and fell right off the bone.

Food was good! Service was great and they were so accommodating for my children! Willl be back!

Dry rub Jamaican jerk wings were a good size and had great flavor. Beer was cold and the more Re plenty of TVs to watch games on.

Great food and excellent service. Highly recommend the Chocolate Orange Old Fashioned.

We have been a champs fan forever, we are back in town and knew we had to visit Service always top notch h. My husbands always get there dry rub wings, tasty , very good size Salads are so so good but very large

Came here with my husband when we were in MKE and it was very good! I ordered a bloody mary, which was on the spicier side and so full of flavor. Perfect balance of pepper, spice, and vodka. For an appetizer, we ordered the buffalo wings, and they were pretty big and fresh. They didn't taste any different than most restaurant buffalo wings, but they definitely were flavorful and not gutty. For his meal, my husband ordered a 12 inch meat lovers pizza and really liked it. It had sausage and pepperoni on it, and he took half of it back to our hotel for later. I ordered the Nashville hot chicken sandwich and I LOVED IT! The sauce and flavors worked so well together, and I love that I was able to pick my side because I chose waffle fries. We had great service, and our waitress was very attentive. We also were very happy we got a seat right away because it was very busy when we got there with almost no open tables. There were TONS of tvs here and the cool thing is that in Sundays they have signs on the TVs of which teams are playing on them. Makes it easier for waiters to seat people where they want to be seated.

Philly cheese was really good. Side of veggies were cooked well and a perfect choice rather than the usual fries. Good choice. Service was good.

Happily surprised by Champps. Right across from a golf course, great meal after 9 holes. AMAZING FOOD. It is rare that my whole family gets a meal they are satisfied with. The honey kissed chicken wrap is amazing. Their waffle fries, fantastic. The honey mustard is impeccable and made in-house.

We went to this place because we were headed to a Brewers game and had some time to kill. We didn't get much for food, but the curds and tenders were delicious, and it was a bit crowded due to a basketball game but everyone was still so attentive! The thing that really made our experience great was one specific person. I hate that I didn't catch her name but I hope she sees this! I was traveling with a 1.5 year old and I was slightly overwhelmed.. she was full of energy and just wouldn't sit down but she was having fun so I didn't mind. A lovely server was playing peekaboo and dancing with her for around 15 minutes and it was the highlight of my little girls day! The uncontrollable giggles and smiles were the best part! I'm sorry this review isn't all about food but great service like this should always be recognized.. this woman helped out a very stressed momma and I'll never forget her. Please visit this place if you get the chance, you will not regret it.

We had a large party (11) that they accommodated nicely. I believe everyone selected a different entree item. All were excellent. Served quickly and efficiently. We also had the appetizer sampler which was good, but had too many chicken strips and not enough wings. The sauces for the appetizers were plentiful and very good. The NFL playoffs were going on and there was an ample number of TVs to watch the games. Overall I would definitely recommend this restaurant for the atmosphere, food and service.

We were kn the Brookfield area and needed lunch, so we decided go stop in here. It's across the street from the mall, so there is definitely more weekend traffic, but the place is huge with plenty of seating. I used to live in Illinois and we had a Champps, but it closed down years ago. It was nice being able to enjoy the restaurant again! My husband and I asked to sit outside since it was a beautiful day. Our server (I believe her name is Steph) was absolutely wonderful. She's very nice and attentive. We started with the chips and queso appetizer, and added salsa for $1. The portion is huge! A good, standard queso. The chips are fresh and salty. I got a cup of the potato soup and a Cobb salad (no olives, add red onion). My husband got the nashville chicken sandwich. These portions were of a great size too! The soup was really yummy, loaded with potatoes, bacon, and cheese. I thoroughly enjoyed my salad. It had fresh ingredients, and the ranch dressing is soooo good. My husband liked his sandwich. He said it had a good kick of heat to it. This is a casual American spot. The menu is very large, with something for everyone. Good spot to catch a game and enjoy a nice meal.

Great lunch on a Sunday. The patio was pretty open when we got there and the weather was great if you weren't in the shade. A few more joined on the patio in no time. Ordered a cheeseburger with fries and the Italian melt with the bleu cheese potato salad. It was all great and our server was friendly and attentive. The Belgian red on tap was great! Will definitely be back!

I primarily come here for their beer selection, but I also order food on some visits, and their food is actually pretty good. Most recently, I ordered their Patty Melt, which was a special for a limited time, per the menu. I ordered the patty medium temp, and they nailed the cook on it! The patty was also well-seasoned, so I could still taste the patty and seasoning, despite the cheese, onions, sauce, bacon (great add on their part!), and strong flavor of the Russian Rye bread, which I liked more than I thought I would. Basically, it was a really well-balanced sandwich and possibly the best Patty Melt I've ever had. Bravo! I opted for the skin-on "straight fries" as they were referred to, and almost all had the bland flavor and texture of sitting under a heat-lamp too long or like they were reheated in a microwave. I'll go back to their waffle fries next time. My bartender said I could have asked for fresh fries, but then the sandwich gets cold while I wait for the fries, or the fries come after I finish the sandwich, and I don't like sending food back. I prefer the kitchen to know to send fresh fries with the sandwich and not try to pass "older" fries off. After I ordered, I heard the bartender say it was last call for the kitchen, so maybe the fryer was already shut down. I generally do no order food when kitchen is about to close because I know they worked hard all day and are anxious to get home, so they usually start cleaning early, and I don't want to make them use something they just cleaned. Anyway, I like this place and will continue visiting, but I'll be mindful of the time of day I'm ordering. :D

My husband and I stopped in for a casual lunch on our 1 year anniversary. It wasn't super busy. I ordered the chicken adobo sandwich with coleslaw and loved them both. My husband ordered the cheese curd burger and waffle fries. He loved them as well. In fact the burger was so big he couldn't even finish it, which is unheard of. Service started off great but then was just ok towards end of our meal (it took awhile to get our check so we didn't get drink refills). It could have been better since it wasn't very busy. But we'll be back for sure.

Food is always good. Friendly staff. It's a nice atmosphere. Lots of energy in the room.

Food is good. Expensive but good. The real reason I'm giving it three stars is that it is super loud. The place is super big and they turn the volume up on all the televisions which in turns causes people to talk louder to be heard over the tv's. I've always had good food but just to noisy

I'm sad to write this review. My friends and I have been going to Champps for years. Today we paid $8.00 for an eight ounce (said 10 ounce but it was teeny) beer with a 6% ABV. Honestly, that is robbery. And the food, meh. What has happened? Unless another reviewer can tell me something to change my mind, I won't be back.

First time eating at Champps. We ordered the Potato Skins & Wisconsin Cheese Curds for appetizers. The potato skins came out perfectly cooked, were fairly large sized and had a good amount of cheese & bacon -- the only thing they didn't include was green onion, which would have made these perfect. The cheese curds were disappointing, they were very bland, not a hint of the garlic flavor in the breading like the menu listed. They also tasted a bit stale, almost like they were from a freezer box and just reheated. My daughter ordered the butter noodle with parm from the kids menu. She did need to ask for extra parm because there wasn't much to begin with, but the waitress was happy to accommodate and brought her two different kinds to add. The portion size was very large for a child's meal so this would be filling for even older children. From the regular menu we ordered Mesquite Dry Rub Wings, Wood Fired Salmon, Three Cheese Potroast Melt and Beef Barbacoa Macaroni & Cheese. The wings were a bit too charred for our liking, but the meat inside was juicy and not overcooked. The salmon was also cooked well and had a decent flavor. The Three Cheese Potroast Melt tasted absolutely delicious and came out on perfectly toasted garlic bread. The Beef Barbacoa Mac & Cheese was the star at our table. It was very savory and unique tasting with a perfect little bit of heat to the white cheese sauce.

Great burgers, sports bar atmosphere, Wait staff was very friendly, didn't have to wait long for our food. The only complaint my wife had was that it was too cold and she had to put on a sweater

We loved it! Counted 30 TVs! Food was great! One of us ordered the 3-cheese pot roast sandwich, and the other ordered a burger with bacon. Both had waffle fries for a side. All was excellent. Our server was outstanding too. We will be back to dine at Champps Americana.

My daughter and I and my three little grandsons had lunch at Champps - a family favorite for years!! - this past week, and as always, the food was plentiful and so very good. I had the juicy and flavorful 1/4 lb. New Berlin burger, topped with onion bacon jam, and a bowl of clam chowder (with plenty of clams!), my daughter had her favorite Palm Canyon salad, and the older boys had kids' cheese pizzas, devouring most of them. (The little guy ate his buttered noodles with gusto! ) We shared an order of waffle fries with seasoned sour cream because we love them and they were hot and crisp, as always. Our server was terrific, and quick to clean up spilled chocolate milk with a smile on his face. Kudos to Champps and owner Tony for having a consistently well run restaurant with excellent staff, food, service and cleanliness.

Not bad, not great. Champps is on my way home from work and I often meet up with people there for a drink or meal. I've had good experiences and not good experiences. Sometimes the service can be spotty and I've had cold soup and less than fresh produce served to me. Other times my meals have been hot and tasty. All depends on who is working that day and how busy they are. I like the atmosphere, location, and price, but I wish my visits were more consistent.

Champps is a cool local spot to hang out, watch sports, drink local beers, and have the best buffalo chicken sandwich in the Milwaukee area. That should be the end of the review, but I'll continue. Location: easy to get in and out of. Nice, big parking lot. Service: consistent. The waitresses are almost always efficient and friendly. It can get busy, so you will wait sometimes, but it is to be expected. As long as you are not in a rush, it is a great spot. Menu: I come here from Florida fore the buffalo chicken sandwich. It is truly the best. It is served with waffle fries. Get it crispy,not grilled. My mouth is watering as we speak. Lots of other options are good too. I have never heard anyone complain about the food. Beer: they do a good job of having local stuff like Spotted Cow, Miller, and craft beers from the area, and then mix those with the bigger stuff from out of state. They have a solid beer menu to accompany the full bar. Atmosphere: total sports bar. TVs and jerseys everywhere. Great place to watch a local game with local fans. Verdict: one of my favorite local spots. Consistently good with consistent service.

First time here and it was pretty darn good. I found a PB/bacon burger (apparently no longer on the menu) on an old yelp picture and they made it anyway for me. I can tell you that I've had better PB burgers but the fact that they went out of their way to make it coupled with the wonderful service made up for it! Jessica (bar waitress) was exceptional. The girl never stopped, yet took the time to check in with me many times. And the Drekker blueberry ale is SO GOOD! I would definitely (and most likely will) come back again!

Best place to get dinner. Food and service were great. Full bar with Plenty of televisions. Plenty of parking.

It always surprises me that this is a chain (but locally owned). Everything here is always right on. Honestly the French Onion Soup is pretty awesome. There are a lot of weak, bad versions of this soup and you absolutely will not be disappointed here. The brother is rich, deep in flavor with the perfect amount of onions and cheese. Get it. With such a vast menu it easy to be nervous that they simply can't do it all well but again, from a burger to a chicken sandwich, to the fish fry (that you can get any day) to the nachos or one of the weekly specials- it's all so damn good. There is something for everyone here.

Food is good , portions have gotten smaller and prices have increased. Service is good the ambiance is great!

Thanks to Rob R for all of the memories you have given to us for the past twenty plus years THANKS AGAIN

Since moving to Brookfield, Champps has become my go to spot to watch Bucks games! Appreciate that they turn the music down in between commercials so we can hear what's going on in the game. Fun music, always good service and great food!

Best food and atmosphere. You gotta try the wings. I repeat GET the WINGS! The meatloaf And veggies

I'm from Maryland, I stopped by this place 2/25/23 the hot rub grilled wings where so good I was highly contemplating on order some to go, the raspberry beer is the best fruit flavored beer I've ever had, that I'm stopping by Walmart to bring some back home with me!! 10/10 for me would recommend wings and beer!

Great food, Great service, and an Exceptional staff. Champps was recently closed for a few days due to technical difficulties. We had a bridal shower planned at Champps for one of the days in question. They were very proactive in contacting us and keeping us updated. Unbelievably, Champps staff opened the restaurant for our shower realizing the significance of the event and didn't miss a beat with the food, setup, and service. The staff members that assisted were wonderful, and we cannot thank them enough for a great experience.

Excellent venue. The food is outstanding and staff is friendly and courteous! They're menu is moderate. Sports bar environment. Full bar! I had the Grilled Chicken Quesadilla Salad. Outstanding! Served wit pepper slaw and pineapple-jicama sauce. They cater to large groups quite nicely! Definitely a return trip!

Great new find! Always looking for a place to watch sports and this is it. Great variety of menu and from my coworkers option Best Wings in area. Would have rated 5 yet service was a bit slow at certain points of evening and we were a group of eight wanting to drink, eat and watch football and talk loud as adults do - and with the restaurant area being only 50% full. They sat a family with 3 kids right next to us. It was awkward.

We were in Brookfield for a family funeral. People came from all over the US to attend. We knew we had a lot of people in our party for dinner so we made a reservation. When arriving for our reservation, the host said she could take 4 of us to a table but we had 5 of us that had arrived. I asked if we could add a chair to our table to sit together and she said all of our tables are scattered throughout the restaurant. We asked if we could wait till we could at least be somewhat near each other since we had a reservation and she called the manager over. The manager had an aggressive attitude with a snarky and demeaning demeanor about her and she yelled at us and said," you know what? We have other reservations! Not just yours!" She said she could take 4 of us at that time and I had to leave my father by himself. The hostess and manager were absolutely awful to us and not accommodating to us. They were snarky when they talked to anyone that showed up for our party and everyone (18 of us) were very disappointed. Not only were we grieving the loss of our family member but were being treated horribly by staff and a manager that worked at this champps restaurant. We were all separated throughout the restaurant and treated just horrible. Our waitress was so nice compared to the manager and hostess. She kept apologizing for her Managers response to us and tried so hard to make up for how we were just treated. She knew they were being so disrespectful and rude. I will never recommend anyone going here unless you enjoy being treated like a doormat by management. I have never been treated so poorly at a restaurant before today. When making a reservation, we should be able to at least sit in a common area with the people in your party and we shouldn't have to be yelled at and talked down to. Corporate needs to teach their managers to not roll their eyes at us when asking questions and not stomp around the restaurant and huff and puff in annoyance acting like a toddler while they are working in a customer service position. Yelling at Patrons spending money in their restaurant is absolutely disgusting behavior. Do better. You have just lost local patrons that recommended us to go there and made the reservation and out of town patrons that travel to the area often. We will not be back.

Was invited to Champps by a friend for lunch. I'm currently on the KETO diet so I asked the waitress, Bobbi, if she could make some alterations to their brunch Burger. Bobbi was super accommodating and explained perfectly to the chef what I wanted because they created a KETO masterpiece :) check out the photo w/descriptions. The shape/size of the lettuce leaves and the way they were arranged made it easy to eat like a hamburger. When I added up the nutrients, they were right within my macros. Typical COVID protocols; mask on to/from the table which were spaced out appropriately. The hostess was very upbeat & friendly as we chatted while waiting for my friend. My only note is that it got a bit loud seated by the bar. But it's billed as a Sports Bar so no biggie. I'd love to experience the great atmosphere during a Badger or Packer game! Well done to Bobbi and team Champps... I'll be back!

We love Champps! Their kung pao chicken is sooo delicious, usually what I get every time! But all of their food is great. They always have all the games on with a million tvs. They are always busy, but can always get a table. Service is usually pretty quick, sometimes food takes a bit longer due to the volume- but you can tell the kitchen staff is working hard!

Champps is always good! Always hot and fresh! My only complaint is that they have root beer on tap now so I asked the waitress if I could try their low calorie root beer and when I tried it it tasted like absolute garbage i asked if I could have a root beer on tap I got it and it tasted better
