Yummy food, friendly, helpful servers! The bar is super-cool, but the tap service is directly in view between server/guest. A great way to start our girls' trip!

I was traveling to Altoona on a week night and in the mood for something better than the chain options. I saw Champs and gave it a try. So glad I did! Sitting at the bar, I had a beer (Great local IPA) and checked out the menu. The Delmonico Ribeye jumped out at me, and I placed my order Medium Rare. My expectations were not overly high, but this steak exceeded my expectations. Mated with a side Ceaser and accompanied by vegetable skewers, it was perfect size and taste. I would surely come back again.

Under new ownership now you don't have to deal with that snotty manager from before. They have a great fish sandwich it's huge. It's only during Lent. They need to serve that all year.

If you love watching, live sports, and simple yet good food, then this is a solid stop. We have always been seated in a timely mannerand each of our waiters and waitresses have been courteous, involved, and efficient. Never had an issue with my families orders and we have always left enjoying our experience.

This place is a sports bar. It's always busy for a reason. The food is pretty plentiful portion sizes. Even the appetizers are like meals. They have a lot of selections of many types of items to choose from unique items. Like pierogies and handmade raviolis. The pizza has a very thick dough and crust and is huge, enough to feed three people.

Great time!!! The egg rolls are terrific. The buffalo shrimp are very tasty! Good vibes. Tremendous music at the right volume. Friendly bartenders!! Go here!

Champs is a great spot in Altoona for casual drinks and food. They also have quite a lot of space (two floors and a small outdoor area) so it's not too difficult to get a table even on a busy night. Their food menu is pretty extensive - from sandwiches and salads to pasta dishes, there's a good variety. I recently ordered the Greek salad and shared a plate of cheese fries and the ingredients were fresh and tasty! They have a pretty good beer selection as wellZ
This is a pretty cool place, pool tables, arcade, lots of tvs, big menu and good food. Prices and service are okay.

Fast service, decent food, fun atmosphere. I had a side salad with my pasta and the Ranch dressing is to die for! The pasta was good too but nothing to write home about. I'll definitely go back and pick something more to their speciality!

You would think from the looks of the outside, how dark it is on the inside it would be a sports bar. It's kind of is but the food selections are all over the place. Almost anything but Chinese food. My service was good and very friendly staff. I have a Mediterranean salad that was very good. It was very large and could not finish it all. I would much rather have a smaller portion with a smaller bill. I had the salad and water and my bill was $$. I'd go back, but I'd explore other options in the area next time I'm in town.
