Good home style burger. They’re huge! I’m glad my bf got me the single because there was no way I’d be able to finish the double. Overall delicious. The reason I’m giving a 4 instead of a 5 is because the mushroom Swiss burger has canned mushrooms or mushrooms with the same consistency on it (I qualify that as a crime) and the chili cheese fries were a little lacking on the cheese. It was all centered right there on the top. Onion rings were fire. I’m also glad they finally take card! I’ll def try them again.

The Working Man’s burger indeed. Champ Burger has been around for 60 years, an old school burger joint with history. I ordered a double cheeseburger and it was all I ever needed. Structurally sound, not a monstrosity cooked up in a food lab, but a working man’s burger, no fancy toppings, well ground beef and thoroughly melted cheese. A great traditional burger. My soul was filled and hunger fulfilled. Will be coming back to this joint.

Drove by this place and knew it had to be good, once I checked the reviews and learned about the 60 year history, I knew I had to give it a shot. When we arrived, we were met with a friendly staff even with a long line during the lunch rush. Our burgers came out within 10 minutes, fresh off the grill along with fresh cut and fried fries. There is no inside dining, but a very nice courtyard area with plenty of shade. Definitely worth a visit, I'll definitely be back!

Is this the best burger in EADO? I think it just might be. I'm not talking smash or slider, but a traditional burger. You get a solid bun to hold everything together; your 1/3 lb beef burger that is properly seasoned not too much to taste the beef, standard lettuce/tomato/pickle/onion (an all American classic) I added cheese and bacon. The combination of flavors is perfect. Everything I want from a burger and it's a good size! I also got the onion rings which were great. Not too big and plenty of them. Had a perfect continuous batter wrapped around every ring, not that barely there batter that falls off as you're trying to eat it. Price is fair for the times we live in. Hot and fresh, made to order. Depending on how busy they are or if there's a line, could be 5-15 minutes. But they are cranking them out. They've got a "back-yard" seating area that has some cover so even in the dead of summer it's not bad.
