Do not get takeout or DoorDash from here!! What I ordered on DoorDash vs. what showed up. How do you put this together and think this is ok or right? A salad without the salad. Notice I also put no tomato, and they put tomato. I woke my baby up and drove to the restaurant to show them what had happened and not once did they even apologize.

Don’t trust the takeout. I’ve eaten at Champs in Altoona at least 20 times getting this same meal 90 percent of the time because I liked it so much and have consistently gotten great food and customer service until recently. I ordered a takeout salmon salad and tomato soup right before closing. The salmon was burt to a char on the top. I spoke with a manager the next day who then had the owner call me. He refused to believe the salmon was burnt saying he never had a problem with it and he sells so many then he had to keep his business running and didn’t feel I deserved a refund. I’ll never give my business or trust that I’ll receive great food or customer service again. I’m disputing the transaction with the bank. Don’t trust the takeout, it was surprisingly awful. And for an owner to rather keep my money instead of reimbursing me for their mistake will cost him more in profit from future sales, at least from me.
Business ethics at this establishment needs improvement.

Only had dessert. Since Villa Capri was a disaster on Valentines Day. So we had a beer and lava cake. Nice atmosphere, service, and lava cake was delicious

My boyfriend and I love champs! It’s actually in our top 3 restaurants in Altoona.
The pierogies are the best we’ve ever had, and we love the Cajun chicken cheesesteak and the steak salad just to name a few. Their fries with a side of their a-mazing ranch…so good! Save room for the berry tarte as well! *chefs kiss*

Wow. Just wow. Tonight was absolutely hilarious the bartenders were amazing they were very busy and handled everything in a timely manner but I ordered our 2 pasta meals and it was cold and the steak which was ordered medium rare came out over well done. Servers offered a new plate and I did not have time to wait for another 2 dishes then they tried to have them taken off our bill and the owner Pete said no! Gave me 50% off for a completely messed up main course then when comfronted about it was called a liar and that “he can’t afford to discount things because of cost of produce” “well I didn’t see it” which is was a lie because I saw the server walk the food up to him. So a loyal customer that comes in 4-5 times a month and orders the exact same meal every single time can get treated like that. Thanks guys Pete will run that place into the ground

The nachos are 10 out of 10. I never ever had to look for a chip in my nachos before! So many layers of deliciousness!

I got, pulled pork, shrimp, rigatoni, a reg burger, sub & nachos and everything had no flavor. This must be a bar/restaurant that you have to be drunk to enjoy the food. Our server was very nice and atmosphere was laid back in a sense. & when we asked for our burger to be taken off our total they did do so.

We had the best meal! The steak salad and the grilled vegetables salad are amazing! The cocktails were so good, they even made us drinks very specific to our taste! Deanna was our waitress and she was great, she was funny , sassy and brought us great service!

I was in Altoona for work. The Champs is in the parking lot of the hotel I was staying in, so it’s very convenient! The first night I went in the bartender I had was not that great. She was more interested in talking about someone her and the others did not like etc. The five stars is for the second night and the bartender, Chris. He was exceptionally good. He moved around the very large bar with a smile on his face and a great attitude. He was literally waiting on the entire bar, he was getting Drinks, food, cleaning up empty dishes and chatting up the customers. You could tell he enjoyed his job and was very good at it. The food was good and lots of beer choices. I just wanted to recognize Chris and his great attitude and service.
