Seven Saints

The foods here never disappointed me, especially the cheese curds. It goes so well with the beers so you definitely should try it. Also the sliders here are also quite good. Overall atmosphere is adequate for dating and casual gatherings. I would say the service here is average, but considering its price that’s not bad.

I really love to eat the Summer Salmon Salad Full of course. Just right after a long day after work. I use the dressing that comes with it and add on a ranch on the side. My friends and I have the best service anyone we get.

Cheese curds are the giant balls in the photo below. Absolutely delicious! Chicken Flautas with mango salsa and sweet jalapeño dipping sauce had great flavor but not too spicy for those of us who don't care for a lot of heat. Great experience!

The sliders taste good but were really small for the price (and for being their signature). The portion size for the salad and the sandwiches was good and all tasted great. The onion rings were gigantic.

Open today12-24, nicely busy, not too much, fairly quick. Food was perfect while traveling. Salad was what drew me. Salad, soup, slider combo just right. Only thing I wished for was (thick) soft seat because of back. O well on that.

Was excited to try but the food was lackluster. 😔 Tomatoes bisque soup was the best of what we ordered. Goat Cheese salad 🥗 was nice. Greek salad with spring mix was a first. Fried green beans was stringy but the dipping sauce was good. Bruschetta had a lot of toast but the tomato 🍅 seem a bit old Sliders Asian and Black Jack - so dry Tacos 🌮 did have some fresh salsa but …

Super busy when we went in Friday night. The food was great. The cheese curds were almost like a cheese filled hush puppy. The sliders were also delicious. Service had their hands full with the business but they handled it well.

A couple of couples, we all had the 3 items combo meal, a 1/2 salad, a slider, and a side (or cup of soup). I had a 1/2 Greek salad, an Asian Slider, and onion rings. Really good food. No complaints at all. Excellent staff and a great ambience. Very nice place to have dinner.

Seven Saints has been one of my favorite places for lunch for a few years now. What I love most about this place other than the amazing sliders would be the service. My server today was named Otto and I would like to give them a special shout out because they really brighten up my day. I have only met two servers my whole life who I felt were true Professional Servers and Otto is one of them and definitely makes you want to go back again.!The decor is pretty cool too so check it out.

Great food horrible service. We got sat waited 10-12 minutes to even get a hello I said something to the host, who was super nice, an he came right over when he was done cleaning the table he was working on and came right over to take our order and then the server came over nearly shouldering him out of the way to try and take our order, at which point we realized she walked by use several times without at least saying hi. Before being seated we had a short wait and went to the bar for a drink and never were acknowledged let alone helped. The drinks we got at the table were fairly strong and were pretty good. The food was great though!

Seven Saints was a solid spot in downtown Champaign. I was surprised when I arrived, as the restaurant was almost empty, to be taken alllll the way to the other back room to sit almost alone in a little corner with the ceiling really low on part of the area. Service was slower considering I wasn't near the other diners...but friendly. The server didn't know much about the wine list, but I made do and the wine was pretty good. I had two sliders - the cheeseburger with bacon and the buffalo chicken. The buffalo chicken was significantly better, quite tasty. The burger was fine but nothing special. Sweet potato fries were good. Price-wise, I think the sliders are pretty pricey for what they are, but two are filling enough, so the overall bill wasn't bad. The room was sort of dark and dreary compared to the cozy front bar area. The floor was somewhat sticky and the bathroom wasn't my favorite... needs updating and seemed run down. Ok spot but not sure I would seek this spot out again as there are other good choices nearby.

Really nice spot! Love the soup/salad/slider combo! Service is decent but not bad, everything came out warm. Ambiance is really cool, the bar is really interesting and the wood work is really cool! I'd come back again for sure!

Didn't like this place. The cheese curds aren't cheese curds, they're cheese dough balls and are massive, just ok. The chili, meh. The ribeye sandwich, meh, and woefully under seasoned, a little salt and pepper goes a long way. The basic slider we tried was meh, waffle fries are meh. I'd give this place a 3/10 cuz the beer was cold. And our waitress was gorgeous, which is neither here nor there lol.

Our waiter was super knowledgeable and funny. The food was amazing, the drinks were top notch and the building was decked out for Halloween. This was an extremely fun experience, made better by the people who masterfully work here.

Seven Saints has been around for some time now, and I think it's pretty well established that they do a decent job in downtown Champaign of serving upscale bar food in a trendier environment. We visited for lunch today and started with the Seven Saints appetizer combo platter. It's the healthier of the two combo platters that the restaurant offers. The olive tapenade was very good. The hummus was also tasty, but the bruschetta was just meh. It's definitely not a traditional bruschetta.. but tasted more like a pico de gallo. They do give you plenty of bread and pitas for dipping and spreading. The restaurant focuses on boutique, or gourmet, sliders... I had the Chicago Style Hot Dog Slider, the Bratwurst Slider and the Black Jack Slider. The Black Jack and the Hot Dog slider were very tasty. The brat slider was just OK. If we were going for dinner, and I was able to wash the sliders down with a couple of cold beverages, I might've enjoyed the experience a bit more. Don't get me wrong, our food was OK and the service was actually very good, but I just felt like the sliders could've been more of a standout considering that they are the cornerstone of their menu.

We stopped here for lunch. I got the salmon summer salad. It was quite filling and fresh. I eat a lot of salads and this would've been on top of my list... IF... it came with some Cheese. It's an after thought. But definitely delish!

I came here, I believe, once before over 5 years ago. This time was with a group, and we sat outside. Food was delicious and they had a big variety. I ordered the S combo with fruit, the goat cheese salad, and a salmon slider. Prices are very reasonable. Service was a little slow, but I believe our server had indoor and outdoor tables. Unfortunately, there was also a homeless person going around from the tables.

We were in town for a wedding and we stopped in here for lunch on a Saturday. It was decently busy, but we were able to grab a table and we had great service throughout our meal. My wife got a cocktail and I got an IPA and our drinks were tasty and refreshing. My wife ordered a grilled chicken bowl and she really enjoyed her meal and I got a BLT with sweet potato fries and I really enjoyed mine as well. The prices were also very good and it's a great place to grab a meal!

Good restaurant with upbeat environment. The food was good and portions very reasonable.

Service took a while and the food was pretty mediocre. Our party got a few salads and sliders. The salads were very meh, sliders were good but can find those anywhere.

It's crazy waiting 45 minutes for a table when there are barely any people there so that 4 employees have time to watch TikTok at the bar. Our waiter (41?) and the hostess were the only person seemingly awake and off their phones.

The food was AMAZING! The staff was wonderful! Such a cute place! It was a great choice as we were passing through.

Food was mediocre. "Tomato Bruschetta" is pico de gallo with cilantro, onions, and peppers. Definitely not a bruschetta.

I love Seven Saints--I've never had a bad experience there! I can always try a new dish and am not disappointed. It's the first place I recommend for anyone visiting Champaign-Urbana.

While in town for work, our group decided to try this place out. Great food and atmosphere!

Have been there for several times. It is a bar & grill restaurants popular among the locals. Indeed, every weekend evening I can see it almost fully seated when I pass by. The restaurant has a huge indoor dining area and a small garden for outdoor seating. Kinda luxury designs indoors, and often you can hear customers chatting happily, thus creating a enjoyable vibe for dining. Since I do not drink alcohol, I only tried their food menu. Most of the dishes are good. I especially like their salad. Pretty interesting combination of fresh veggie and meat, and there's plenty of add-on/customize choices. Also, their soup of the day could be quite surprising and amazing. The sandwiches are in general OK, but the ribeye steak sandwich was heavenly! Basically a huge ribeye steak on melted cheese, sandwiched between two large grilled sourdough bread. The meat was super juicy and tender, and because of the onion and cheese and the chewy bread, it tasted even better than a traditional steak! Their tacos were, however, not as good as sandwiches or salads. I tried tilapia tacos and pork carnitas tacos. The taco shells are bland; for the pork carnitas tacos, there was only a little meat. Their sliders are standard which I guess could go well with drinks. Note that they also have some seasonal dishes such as the Sweet Jalapeno Glazed Slamon (a grain bowl). Service was quick and welcoming. With many good food and satisfying vibe and service I will go there many more times in the future.

Awesome local beer hall. Great adult beverage selection and a neat menu. Be sure to use the digital menu as it shows the specials. We had a young waitress that didn't give us the specials but they are listed on the digital menu. She seemed new as she only took one of our drink orders also. On to the good stuff: The food, they have a good selection of salads and an amazingly eclectic selection of sliders. Yep sliders. I had the Chicago Dog Slider and a Bratwurst slider with delicious onion rings and delicious Goose Island Stout. All great. So many dark beverages and decadent sliders I will have to return to experiment. The restaurant is a beautifully restored old store front with high booths. Great location and when in the area I will definitely try again.

I've eaten here before, and last time was ok. Not great, but passable. Most recent trip we were only offered drinks one time in an hour and never asked if we wanted to order food. Server was taking care of 36 people in our area. Clearly understaffed. We left without getting food. Won't be coming back

Great place for sliders! So many to choose from! The salads and sliders and burgers all look delicious!

a great gastropub experience in Urbana. I had the club sandwhich and tomato basil soup although they're famous for the sliders

I enjoy the cozy interior, decorating and beautiful bar back at seven Saints. I also find the service to be superior to most other spots in the Champaign Urbana region. Seven. Saints offers a nice variety of soups, salads, burgers, and sandwiches that are very well prepared. Desserts are lovely honestly, seven saints is one of my favorite spots in the CU area.

Food was great! Sliders are creative and they were delish!! Drinks were good but alittle on the sweet side

Came here from all the good reviews and ordered 3 sliders, salmon slider, black jack slider and buffalo chicken. Salmon slider was super salty and fishy, black jack slider was meh and the buffalo slider was not good. Stringy chicken and bland. Was recommended the cheese curds and they were not what expected. Had a thick breading, no crunch just a bunch of soft fried dough around cheese. Did not enjoy these at all. I ordered two of the mezcal cocktails and they were really good. I will say I came in 20 mins before the kitchen closed so maybe that's why everything was mediocre if that justifies anything.

Great spot for lunch. Stoped in here on Wednesday and the place was hopping. The do have the indoor dinning room with nice looking bar and an outdoor patio. Food was good. Between the four of us we ordered salads, tacos and a sandwich. Selection of drinks including wines was decent. Service was slow. Our waitress was overwhelmed with the amount of tables she was responsible for. As long as the owners do a better job staffing this can easily be a 5 star review.

I was in a hurry to get a hearty dinner before a long drive back home to Chicago. I was impressed by the service and quality of food that came out. Quality- the loaded potato soup is some of the best I've had. It had the right proportion of bacon, potato, cheese, and green onion. The texture was rich and thick with flavor from the ingredients, and even better when you dip the sliders in it. I got three sliders, a salmon one, bacon/beef patty one, and a fried chicken one. All three were unique and flavorful. The only critique I have is that the salmon slider was a bit over cooked and the fries were too oily and had a slight stale taste to them. Quantity- enough food came out for the price. The most worth it items are the beef slider and potato soup. The beef patty was pretty big for 4 dollars and for 8 dollars you get plenty of tasty soup. That alone could have been a meal. If I were to come here again it would just be for 2 sliders and 1 soup. The other 2 sliders did not have enough quantity for the price. Service- awesome service! I was in a hurry to make a drive back to Chicago and they accommodated by getting food out faster for me. Atmosphere- it's a welcoming, clean atmosphere. They wanted to get a french bar atmosphere and I guess they got it well.

Good food, good service. Reasonable prices. Similar to many other restaurants in C/U. We will go back.

We don't live in Illinois but we visit Champaign once or twice a year when we travel to see family in Central Illinois. We've eaten at Seven Saints about three times now. Every time is delicious. The wait staff are great. The cheese curds are a must. Lots of choices on the menu. I love the kitschy decor. It's kind of dark and gothic. I would eat here often if we lived here.

Wonderful meal for our first trip to University of Illinois. Cool vibe in a historic location. Superb service and our server gave us great recommendations for what to do on game day. Nice variety of options on the menu and all of our meals did not disappoint!

This restaurant is among my favourite places to eat in Champaign . The service is good and the staff seem as though they enjoy their job. It is recommended that you eat in and not order for pick up. The salmon sliders always hit. The environment is great when you eat in although I prefer days than nights in there because it's very dark!. Which is not on the restaurant, it's a personal preference. It will always be a far until they prove me wrong.

Everything was great! We were in town for a work conference. Found this place on Yelp and decided to try it out for dinner. Quick and friendly service at the hostess stand. Seated outside at our request because it was beautiful out and we loved their outdoor seating area! The waitress was very busy, and very good! We didn't wait long at all for anything. We had drinks, 1/2 sandwiches and 1/2 salads. We also took the seasonal cheesecake back to the hotel for later... It was all so yummy! Highly recommend trying this place out if you are in the area. We will definitely be back the next time we are in town!

Nice upscale bar and restaurant. Sliders are the thing here, gotta try them. I had a Chicago hot dog slider and was pleasantly surprised. And the biggest cheese curds I have ever seem served with a nice chipotle ranch sauce. The beef slider I had came with a spicy aioli and crisp pickles, all cooked just right. Service was bright, friendly and prompt on a Saturday afternoon.

Cheese curds were good, but the sliders were pretty bad overall. Overcooked, and somewhat sickening. Service was good, and ambiance had a nice vibe to it.

I love this place! It's been my third time going here. Me and a friend of mine first found Seven Saints and after, it definitely left me feeling satisfied. I came back with him today. Their services is perfect. The staff's were attentive, fast and patient. They'd actually accomodate you through their menu's. Their food is given at a fair time, definitely well cooked and neatly served! An aspect i admire. I'll highly recommend this place! Can't wait to come back here.

I had been here before and remembered they were good. This time was even better. The service is exceptional and the food is off the grid. Would definitely return and recommend.

It is a bar! Their green tea shots aren't very good. Their food is not up to par have to give it a solid 3/5!

Great sliders. Fantastic. Wide array. Mid priced. Solid service. Parking near can be tough but the deck is just two blocks away.

This is a cool place! Loved the decor and ambiance. Our bartender was great and very informative. Bloody Mary was delicious and tried the Flight of Icarus drink and it was delightful! Husband had the bacon and cheese and Chicago hot dog sliders that were delicious! I had the salmon seasonal meal and it was so healthy and I loved it! We will definitely be back!

Generally speaking, great food, but not so satisfactory service... I ordered the SWEET JALAPEÑO GLAZED SALMON and the Blueberry Lemon Cheesecake in their seasonal special menu. Both the salmon and the desserts were good, which had their own styles and unique flavors. I appreciate the delicious food! However, what annoyed me a little was that: I stayed inside the restaurant for approximately an hour, just for a simple lunch. And, that was absolutely not my personal choice; to a very large extent, it was because the server didn't show up at an appropriate time or come asking requirements in a reasonable period basis. Actually, no one came up to ask for my experience or if I needed anything during my lunch, and when I drank all of my water, no one noticed it and came to help me fill the cup, of which this phenomenon shouldn't appear in such a nice restaurant. I remember it took me nearly 15 minutes to wait for a server help me check my bill when I finished all the food...Maybe it's because they have too little staff to guarantee meeting all the customers' requirements, but I really did feel not being taken seriously, which cut points off for my dining experience that should have been more enjoyable! Anw, wish Seven Saints can further improve their service quality to comply with the great taste of the food as well as the nice ambiance.

Great salads, good atmosphere, fair pricing. Mixed drinks looked good I was at lunch with work so couldn't try one.

This is a great spot for a date or really any occasion. The drinks are great and the booze selection is well rounded. However, the food is hit or miss. I have had several things that were worth mentioning then I have had some things that were a let down. I would say the drink are 4/5 and the food is 3.5/5.

Loved this place! Great food and service. We all had the slider/salad combo. I had black and blue salad and black Jack slider. Delicious! Old pub ambience.

Great lunch options. Chicken salad sandwich is homemade and delicious. Fall apple wine drink with nutmeg and cinnamon was perfect

Food was amazing, service even better!!! Will definitely return. I got the shrimp tacos and waffle fries. The appetizers are delicious and the drinks...*chefs kiss* I went here with a few of my friends a bit after lunch time and this place did not disappoint. Top tier!

The food is good but small portions sizes Salad 8.5/10 Slider 8.5/10 Soup 8.5/10 Service is quick and staff was nice The restaurant was clean

Ordered the slider and half salad combo and it was delicious. The bratwurst patty in the slider wasn't dried out and the sauerkraut and mustard gave it a little kick. The bun was meh. I feel like a bratwurst slider should have a bun with oomph. The BLT salad had the perfect amount of dressing. My hubby had the club sandwich which he said was like most others he's had. Sometimes people just want the familiar, and this would fit the bill. The onion rings were crispy and predictable. The interior of the restaurant in fun with cloth ceiling accents and a nice bar. Service was good for the number of people there.

Menu was pretty diverse, especially for me as a vegetarian. The food was great. Arrived quickly and properly cooked. We sat at the bar to watch the afternoon football games, and the bartenders were attentative and polite. I would highly recommend this establishment.

Very well done sliders! They offer great apps and even better meals. They are the best, as everything is tested and popular!
