Champs Rotisserie and Seafood — Restaurant in Grosse Pointe Woods

Wow. Pure Joy.

We were coming back from a tour in Downtown Detroit and truly wanted to go someplace that we've never been.

Then B O O M!

I thankfully recalled Champs could be on our path.

Called ahead to see if they had seating at 3:30 pm on 1-4-25 ( a Saturday)

The gal who took our call was filled with joy and enthusiasm and said come on in we can't wait to serve you ( love positive front line staff * First Impressions)

Found a place to park (metered)

Sat near the fireplace, charming atmosphere.

Celeste & Bella were our tandem servers (Bella was in training)

I of course ordered the ribs.

Celeste said do you prefer fall off the bone or traditional?

Tough call, but I went old school traditional.

Upgraded to a side of chili, it was served hot and a flavorful blend of meat, spices and the right amount of beans.

The ribs, oh the ribs!!

The char, the deep flavor, made me nostalgic...

How/Why?

100% they reminded me of the former Eastside restaurant the point BBQ

Legendary and long gone.

Celeste, Bella set a nice pace, plus the kitchen was humming. Also the young busboys were present and very helpful.

Mr. Danny Curis, the owner and local Big Boy owner stopped by welcomed us, thanked us for stopping in.

This business is locally owned, we watched him sitting in the directors chair at the bar.

Welcoming each guest by name, those that dined in and the carryout customers.

Our visit was: Superior Excellent And I'm plotting a quick return, plus bringing...

We ordered dinner via grub hub, and ordered the fish and chips for one of the entrees. When we received our order, we did not receive the fish and chips. We called to make it known, and we were told that they did not have any cod cut up for the fish and chips dinner. They opted to just send the order anyways and charge us for it without telling us they were not sending it. When we complained, they suddenly decided that they would cut up some more cod for a fish and chips order, but that we would have to come pick it up. The whole point of ordering via grub hub was to not have to go pick it up, a service for which we already paid. The ribs that were ordered were extremely dry, and very tough, requiring a steak knife to separate the meat from the bone. We received an abundant amount of cole slaw, which unfortunately, was on the sweet side. the ribs dinner ordered with a baked potato did not include the baked potato, which was ordered as the gluten free option when we had to pick it up with the fish and chips ordered, the baked potato was placed in the same box as the fish and chips dinner. Thank God it was at least covered in foil. It was not an enjoyable dinner, and neither party that ordered the ribs bothered to try to work the meat off the rack as it was just too much work to...
