We started off with mozzarella sticks and they were amazing. You get at least eight sticks. I usually get soda when I come here but tonight I decided to get a margarita on the rocks and it was only seven dollars and it was delicious. My son got the Smashburger and I got the buffalo chicken wrap, but I got the mild sauce on it. We had Natalie J as our server and she was excellent. She was very attentive and prompt with bringing me my to go box as well as my check. I did go to the bathroom and the garbage in there was overflowing. Other than that, it was a great experience. There are a bunch of TVs here so it is a good place to watch sports and at times they do have live music.

We were greeted promptly and took a few minutes to look at the menu. I LOVE roast beef, so it peaked my interest. My wife chose the Smiley burger. We placed our order and grabbed a seat. Place was quiet even though it was probably 75% full for lunch. Roast beef was served hot in toasted sour dough. Cheddar, tomato, lettuce and horseradish topped the generous portion of roast beef. Bread was crisp and the beef was hot and juicy. Horseradish gave a nice tangy flavor. My wife's Smiley burger was hand patted. Juicy and perfectly cooked. Bun was soft inside and nicely toasted in the outside. Bread and butter pickles, onion, tomato and lettuce topped it off. But the star of the show were the fries cooked in beef tallow!! Hot and salty, crispy and a deep flavor. I would come back just for the fries. Although a little bit pricey for lunch, it was excellent! Staff were friendly and attentive! Would highly recommend and will definitely be back! Thanks for an awesome lunch and excellent experience!

The young lady who answered the phone answered like she was enjoying her job. She was happy and friendly. I inquired as to their closing time and she told me in 20 minutes. She didn't tell me they weren't taking orders, which I actually expected. I rushed over, suspecting I might not get what I wanted because of the time. I knew I wouldn't be done by closing so I went through the drive through. The drive through and the building were both clean and well maintained. The lady who took my order was friendly and upbeat. I ordered a bbq pork plate, sliced, with potato salad and mac and cheese and a large diet Dr. Pepper. At the window everyone was super friendly. I asked for extra napkins and got a stack. They were not stingy at all. My food quality was peak, despite the nearness of closing time. My bbq pork was succulent and perfectly sliced. There was no tough meat. There was plenty of sauce, pickles, and chow chow. The potato salad was sweet, tangy, and creamy and the mac and cheese was deliciously cheesy. I love their mac and cheese because while creamy and cheesy it doesn't taste like Velvetta. It reminds me of my mom's home made baked version. The entire experience was grea

The…read morerestaurant has a rustic, down-home atmosphere that fits the Southern comfort food menu perfectly. Our waiter, Hudson, was friendly throughout the meal and did a good job providing recommendations and suggestions. I ordered the 3-Piece White Meat Plate with two breasts and a wing, along with baked beans and coleslaw. I also ordered a side of the Sweet Heat sauce for dipping. My wife ordered the Fried Mississippi Catfish with fries and coleslaw, along with jalapeño hush puppies. The fried chicken and catfish were the stars of the meal. Both came out piping hot, crispy, and well seasoned. My chicken had plenty of flavor to stand on its own, but the Sweet Heat sauce complemented it nicely and added another layer of flavor without overpowering the chicken. The French fries were excellent and easily the best side. Crispy, hot, and exactly how fries should arrive. The remaining sides didn't reach the same level. We both found the vinegar-and-mayo coleslaw somewhere between average and below average. I felt about the same about my baked beans. My wife thought the jalapeño hush puppies were average. If you want excellent hush puppies, Shrimp & Co. in Hueytown remains our standard. Both of our meals were also served with a thick slice of white bread, which fit the simple, down-home presentation. This was our second or third visit to Champy's, and the food that matters most has been excellent each time. The sides may be hit or miss, but they know how to fry some chicken and catfish. Come for the chicken and catfish, definitely get the fries, and consider the other sides supporting players.

The remade steak was delicious, along with the crispy brussel sprouts and baked potato. I ate it for Sunday morning breakfast! Others at my table had the ribeye and salmon. They were satisfied with their food as well. This location has a 97 health score so thats a plus! We sat at a table and the kids had a booth. The dining room is comfortable and wasn't noisy.

The sushi was not fresh (we did order 30 minutes before closing). The rolls were lacking in quality and the avocado had taken a turn for the worst, could have easily been cut off so we wouldn't even know but that showed us they didn't care about what they were giving their customers. The crab Rangoon was fried in a thick breading, also don't recommend as it was hard to chew. If they used a thinner bread it might have a chance hahah. There are so many good sushi places in the area or within a 30 minute radius with similar prices so I wouldn't return or recommend. The inside of the restaurant is nice and spacious, but that's not going to make up for the crappy food.
