I had some time to kill this afternoon and was in the Downtown area looking for some lunch. I was planning to catch a movie at the Epicenter and wanted some grup nearby. It was a toss-up between Hooters and Champions and since I'd never been to Champions I decided to give it a try......
When I first entered the place I stood by the hostess booth for about 5 minutes and nobody came to greet me or show me to a table...... or anything. Then, some more patrons arrived and were waiting in line behind me. This is when a waitress who was taking orders at a nearby table told is we could sit wherever we wanted so I decided to sit downstairs since the upstairs was crowded with kids. So I make my way downstairs and sit a a table for about 5 minutes and no one notices I'm there....... So I make my way over to the other side of the room and sit at a booth literally 3 feet from the bar and no one notices me........ The guy that was waiting on the booths was busy watching a college football game with some patrons..... So I get up and sit at the bar where the bartender quickly got my drink and took my order. I got the classic burger with bacon, lettuce and tomato along with a side of fries.
The food came out fairly quickly. The burger was very good!! And so were the fries. I really have no regrets about the food or the bartender, but the place is kind of dark and relaly is a '90s relic, I mean, they have a mural of LJ with David Robinson and BJ Armstrong among others....... I understand having LJ on there but Robinson? BJ? Shouldn't Kemba and Big Al be on there?
Oh well, I thought the bill was fair. I think it was $10 and change for a very good burger and fries with a pepsi and refill.
I might visit again if I'm in the area and want a good burger, but I'd also like to see what else is out here.
Happy Yelping!!
