Champ Burger is a casual burger spot that many diners recommend, with two calling it their favorite or the most solid standard burger around. One visitor describes a weekday lunch crowd of contractors and local workers, and another says it makes for a pleasant outing on a nice day. One commenter finds the hours odd and the outdoor seating a drawback, and feels people tend to order to-go or eat quickly, making it hard to recommend for a family passing through. One diner who tried it once found the burger a big disappointment and would not return.
