    Ok. I admit I was built up to try this place. It is a walk up and order place only. No dining area. There is one table outside by the pig. I wanted to try this place for some time now. I went on a Saturday late which seemed to be a good time. I got a pound of pork which came with red sauce. It did not come with buns so I had to splurge a get those. I also ordered my fav. Banana pudding. The pork with BBQ sauce was phenomenal. The banana pudding was like garbage in my mouth. It was gritty and not like any other I had tasted. I took a couple bites and tossed it. The other bad parts are the customer service is lacking too. The cashier made my order while an older man came out of the back room and took the wrapper off the banana pudding and sampled the banana pudding off the wrapper. Ewww. Finally, this place isn't cheap. I recommend other BBQ joints in town.

    Ribs over cooked.  Bone is quite soft.

    This is mediocre BBQ for the area, if not slightly below even that. I won't be back and regret eating there. The pork on the sandwich was mushy, without texture (or bark). Not much smoke taste. Ribs were tender but overdone. The bone was easily bitten in to. Again, not much smoke flavor. Sausage was just sausage. Nothing special. The sauce, which can make or break you, was not good, yet everything was smothered in it. Fries were fine. Keep driving.

    Half slab of ribs - huge portion!

    Over priced. Inept management. No wonder it's for sale. Buddy knew how to run it for decades.

    Just plain old good bbq. The ribs are fall off the bone, bbq is tender and sauce isn't bad to be tomato base.

    The ribs and sausage are the best around and are a must try. The staff is always super friendly. Highly recommend them.

    Good food but surprisingly expensive. Very limited seating - just a picnic table outside.

    Stopped at this location during a road trip, I have been to Champy's in Chattanooga before. Was…read moreexcited and the food/ambiance was good as usual. Only concern was I asked for Champy's sauce with the tender basket, looked at it in the parking lot and noticed it looked like their honey mustard instead. Tried it, confirmed it tasted like honey mustard, then went inside with my receipt asking for it to be switched for Champy's sauce. Spoke to a waitress (not the one who helped us at drive thru) and I explained that I wanted Champy's sauce. She said "uh huh" confused and I held up what I had saying it tasted like honey mustard. She said yes Champy's sauce is honey mustard based. I told her I've been to (and worked as a teenager) at Champy's before in Tennessee and the color was more yellow than the orange I'm used to (like they added too much honey mustard) and again it tasted exactly like honey mustard. She explained that the Champy's sauce (and red heat) recipe was different at their location. I took her answer and left. Not sure if I indeed had honey mustard (they come in the same containers) and she didn't want to double check or if their Champy's sauce recipe really is just primarily honey mustard. I think the people of Alabama are missing out though on the champys sauce from the original location in Chattanooga, not sure why there is so much variation between locations. Other than that, everything was great!

We had the hot tamales to start, which were pretty good as well. The atmosphere is very kid friendly, and service was good. They've got a full bar. I'm not normally all the way out in Alabaster like this, but would definitely come here again.

The wait wasn't bad and the hostess was very accommodating of our specific request for two separate tables. Service received was prompt & friendly by Hannah. My porterhouse steak wasn't prepared correctly so that was my one issue. They immediately got my meal corrected and packaged it for me to go, since we were pretty much wrapping up our meals. 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 bar space was a nice size with televisions. My first time coming to this location was a good experience for me & my party.
