Came here for lunch on a Wednesday. But very busy so we got seated immediately. Cool place, nice atmosphere. Everyone that worked there was very pleasant. The food was very tasty. We had the fried pickles which are amazing! They do spears instead of chips which is different and good. Got the chicken finger platter for lunch. These things are gigantic! They give you 3 and that's probably too much lol. Very good experience. Will definitely come back when In the area. read more

First time into Champy's was decent. I will say, we went on possibly the coldest day (2 degrees outside), but insulation in the building is awful. We originally were sat at a smaller four-person table right by the roll up windows towards the front of the restaurant, and the draft was so intense, we were freezing even with jackets on. We asked to be seated somewhere else, which they did (although that spot wasn't much better), and placed another couple at the original table. Within minutes they had the same issue... bundling up, switching seats around, etc. our waitress seemed on the younger side, and maybe even new. But she appeared visibly confused with just about every request we had. Her response was usually "uhhhh..... okay" followed by us getting wrong drinks/food. The food overall was decent. The chicken tenders were juicy and crispy and the ranch was great. Their fries were delicious. It likely wouldn't be my first choice in picking a place to eat, but I do believe it deserves a second chance. I'll be going back when it's warmer to hopefully have a different experience. read more

First visit to this Champy's location. Food and service were excellent. We really appreciate Ashley for taking care of our party of 14+ educators. All orders were taken, she wrote nothing down, and all orders were delivered accurately. Ambiance, was super laid back and casual. read more

I really loved the food I got here. The wings and tenders were cooked to perfection and the buffalo sauce for the wings was awesome. I really enjoyed the ranch they served as well. Their fries were next level, I couldn't stop snacking on them even after I was full. Our service was kinda sketchy at times and it seemed our server was struggling with the menu at times, so maybe she was new. I loved the vibe here and there were lots of TVs, especially in the bar area. read more

I absolutely love catfish, but alot of southern places don't get have flavor in the catfish batter. However, Champy's changed my mind. I like my catfish super crispy so I asked them to leave it in the fryer a little longer and it came out perfectly . I also liked how they have two flavors of Mac and cheese. I believe Mac and cheese should always have cheddar but I love how they have that option for people who prefer gouda Mac and cheese. I also liked how vinegarey my green beans were. The environment was nice. The decorations were chaotic but that's the theme and I didn't mind it. read more

This is hands-down some of the best chicken I've ever had. On my first visit, I tried the chicken sandwich, and the next night I went back for the chicken hunks. Both were incredible. My grandma ordered the cod, and she loved it too. Everything we had was seriously great. What really stands out is that everything is made fresh to order, and the chicken is clearly high-quality, real chicken. The breading is light, crispy, and perfectly done. This is easily one of the best chicken spots I've ever been to. The staff is genuinely kind and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. The atmosphere is awesome too. There's an outdoor fire pit and even a small mini golf area, which makes it a fun place to hang out as well as eat. read more

Tennessee doesn't have many crawfish options like NOLA, but Champy's offers a delicious and reasonably priced alternative. You can choose between 2, 4, or 6 pounds--we went with 4 pounds, and it was a lot! I always ask for cocktail sauce and then add Culver's hot sauce for extra kick, and it hits the spot. I'm glad this location now offers crawfish because, when they first opened, it was only available at the Murfreesboro location. The service is always great. Their fried chicken, which they're known for, is decent, but we mainly come here between early March and late April just for the crawfish. At 5:30 PM, we were the only table eating crawfish, but we also enjoyed a Dirty Shirley Temple--double well-poured during happy hour. The bathrooms were clean, the music wasn't too loud, and there was plenty of parking since it's right next to Home Depot. There was no wait, as they have plenty of tables, but if you're coming with a big group, I'd recommend arriving early, especially on weekends. read more

Best friend shrimp I've had in years, side are are delicious and perfectly prepared with hand batter, I had the catfish platter, which isn't on the Uber menu. The Catfish was perfect too, the size were good too. I had slaw and baked beans. Highly recommend. read more

We used to like this place but it's gone downhill. We got seated in a dark cove booth for six people. Our waitress seemed like she was completely stoned. Our food (family meal) came out and we had no plates, she then brought out little 5 inch round plates for the tween kids. No drink refills, everything was salty and green beans were so seasoned we couldn't eat them. Then to top everything off, my three kids wanted a gumball from the machine, fifty cents a piece. It took 5 tries to get 3 gumballs. I made the hostess aware of the situation and her response was "it's just always hit or miss" and then didn't offer to replace the quarters. We won't be back. read more

They have dine in or drive thru options. The food came out fast and fresh. It's one of those places that's near a bunch of hotels so they have plenty of people that come. The fries had a almost slightly sweet taste and the tenders we just ok. I will say in a crunch I would stop by but only because the prices and the food match both are reasonable and just ok read more

I ordered through DoorDash so I'm not sure about the service, but my food was hot and ready! The chicken sandwich was the best chicken sandwich I've ever had! It was juicy and delicious with the slaw and pickles. The green beans were also flavorful. They do add bacon to the green beans, so be aware of that if you're pork conscious. My boyfriend had the 3 piece and he enjoyed the fires and Mac and cheese. He did say the chicken had a lot of breading for his taste, and it was a little on the dry side. read more

The waitresses were amiable, had great manners, and were well informed. They were reliable, helpful, and intelligentent to talk to. One was in training and the trainer, both had these great qualities. You could tell they take pride in their work, respect their management and fellow workers. The food was delicious and plentiful! Ordered from the "snack" menu- chicken livers and fries. It may have stated "snack", yet the portions received were a feast!! Next time I'm trying the "snack" menu for shrimp! The place was welcoming, friendly, clean and organized. Thank you Taylor and crew for the wonderful experience!! Hghly recommend!!!! read more

I went here for a late dinner and it did not disappoint. The outside looks like a cool barn and the inside is filled with vintage signs and photos. (I wish I took more pictures.) There were not a lot of people inside and we were greeted with smiles and seated right away. I had the chicken salad, a side of coleslaw, and the Mac and cheese side. The salad was the biggest portion I've ever had at a restaurant. It didn't have a ton of ingredients, but it was fresh and tasty. I especially like their ranch dressing. The fried chicken came in large pieces that you have to cut into smaller pieces yourself. I like that there was cheese on top of the chicken that melted into it. There is also small pickles in the salad and tomatoes. The coleslaw tasted fresh as well. We had both the cheddar Mac and cheese and the Gouda bacon Mac and cheese. The kiddo preferred the cheddar but I preferred the Gouda bacon. read more

Fun place to drink, eat, and vibe. The interior of this place is eccentric and unique. Everywhere you look you find something new to look at. The food doesn't fall behind. The fried jalapeño basket was delicious. There was so much juice in each jalapeño slice! I couldn't stop reaching for them. I got the award winning hot wings. They were smoky and paired well with their ranch. Unfortunately, I don't think I would order them again. Not because they were bad, but because I found something even better on the menu. My boyfriend let me have a taste of his catfish platter and I was jealous. Who would of known Champy's knew how to make some tasty catfish! The only criticism I have for this place is due to service and seating. We came here on a Friday night and we knew it was going to be a bit rowdy. But what we didn't know is that we were gonna get seated front row to the loud band playing. I recommend next time to ask if there is a preference in volume. I don't expect this place to be quiet, but I also don't expect for me to have to talk mouth to ear to the people at the same table as me. read more

I'm writing to express my frustration with what appears to be an inconsistent and unreasonable policy. I was told that your company is a Tennessee Vols affiliate and therefore does not allow the volume to be turned on for any other games -- even when UT isn't playing. To make matters worse, the game on was a Vanderbilt game, and yet the sound still wasn't allowed? This doesn't make sense and feels unnecessarily restrictive, especially for customers who are simply trying to enjoy local college sports. Can someone please clarify if this is an official policy? If so, I'd like to understand the reasoning behind it, because it's incredibly frustrating as a fan **If you going to support Tennessee teams you should support all of them! read more

Of course we have to try out the newest restaurant in our town! We went on a Wednesday evening, which just happened to be their "GRAND OPENING" but luckily we didn't have to wait too long! We were seated and greeted immediately. We ordered drinks and pretty soon after we placed our food order. We would normally order an appetizer but it was 7:30 and we were looking to get in and out with the kids! I ordered the 2 piece white meat basket, my husband had the 3 piece dark meat plate, and our two kids split the 3 piece tender plate! All of the sides were very good. Between us all we got both macs(cheddar and gouda), slaw, green beans, and fries! I am kind of a slaw snob and their slaw was very good! It's always good to have a fun place near by that has good food and fun atmosphere. We will be back, hopefully on a warmer day to play outside! read more

Great service from mylee and Taylor. My friend almost forgot his food and they brought it out. We will be back for more drinks.

The waitress was really nice, but the food was just ok. The chicken tenders were ok, the Mac and cheese was good but that's it. My margarita was really sour. It would say it's ok. read more

Have ordered from them twice now. The first time my catfish entree came without tartar sauce and I spent over 30 mins tonight waiting on dinner only to have the order cancelled due to them being "closed" after it was being prepared with a Dasher assigned and another Dasher trying to get it. Absolute joke of a business. Don't even accept the order and show it being prepared for 20 mins only to cancel it cause you're supposedly not open! read more

BRAND NEW location in Smyrna, TN. Champy's never misses, but this new location SLAPS. Interior is insane with old school neon lighting and nostalgic beer signage and decor. Food is always incredible we got the iconic chicken tender platter. Champys sauce cannot go without. The CHUNK deal on Thursdays I do not think other Champy's does this but great deal for nugget size chicken tenders for 0.69c a piece!! Happy hours from 3-6pm. Great service and hostesses. Putt putt out front. Full bar. Can't go wrong!! Will be spending many evening and happy hours here. read more

Champy’s - Fried chicken sandwich with macncheese. - American Near Me - Smyrna, Tennessee

Everything on the menu is great with one exception. The catfish. Now I'm no expert but I know the texture and earthy bottom of the pond flavor of catfish when I have it and this wasn't it. I think it's sway which has a chewier texture and little to no flavor. I had it once when I dinned in and just left a napkin covering what I didn't eat which was almost all of it and I excused myself (I paid of course). I've always been embarrassed about complaining. I wanted to believe that they really have catfish so I Postmated a 2 piece dark snack and 1 piece of catfish (just to make sure). It was the same as my last experience. In my experience, if the word Delta is anywhere on your menu and you serve catfish, it sure as hell better be real catfish. I hate to complain about this because the fried chicken is some of the best I've ever had but I just can't get past that damn catfish. read more

I have fried and gone to heaven! Be honest! Not too many of us don't like fried stuff. Well, here is your place! We moved from Smyrna a few years ago and what do you know! As soon as we leave, they open a fried chicken joint! The decor feels kinda like it was opened by the children of parents that grew up on Cracker Barrel, Po Folks & Toot's. "Hey! Let's merge all those concepts! It'll be cool!" It kinda is... Very laid-back atmosphere - hoaky but that's HO-KAY! The prices really are not that bad. And they have chicken livers! There are not many local places anymore that sell chicken livers - not even the aforementioned Cracker Barrel. Even back when they did, they were fried so hard they lost all flavor. Not here! They were about perfect. We also had the half fried chicken. Of the sides, we tried the french fries, mashed potatoes & gravy, coleslaw and baked beans. My ONLY complaint is the small serving size of everything except the fries. The potatoes and gravy will just piss you off. Increase the size of these sides if only by 50% and charge a little more if necessary. But when you charge $4 (when purchased individually) for about 3 ounces of product there will be disappointment. On the bright side, they all tasted great! I recommend sharing meals. Small sides aside, this is a lot of food! On our next visit, we plan of sharing a four-piece catfish dinner and just get an extra (albeit small) side of slaw. And maybe some more chicken livers... read more

I was in town visiting family and we decided to have a late dinner. This place was open so we went. The inside was really cute. Very nostalgic. I liked that. I ordered a margarita. Cause that's my go to drink. It was really good. We placed our food orders and we waited for a long time. Our server, Jocelyn informed us that the system did not send our order to the back. So she had to resend it. Our food finally arrived. It unfortunately wasn't appeasing to me due to my medical condition. The food had spice in it and that's not said or explained. Everyone doesn't eat spicy food. So I honestly don't understand why restaurants do this. Anywho, I won't be back but the drinks were good ‍ read more

Average. Hush puppies were cold. Not enough gravy on the potatoes. Chicken was warm not hot. The blonde hostess with fake eyelashes had an attitude when we asked for a booth. There was an empty booth in the back corner and one in the front corner, but she said she would have to sit us at a half booth. Did not understand that logic. It was our first time there and we probably will not be back. Our waitress jasmine did a great job. Note to management since the hostess is the first person that the customer interacts with you should probably train them how to be friendly and courteous to the customer. All the best K. read more

Had very high hopes for this place. The interior is great - chaotic decorations but in a good way. But that's pretty much it. We stood there waiting to be sat for way too long while the 3 people at the front chatted and literally ignored us. When we finally got seated they put us near the bar. It was the middle of the day/late lunch and tbh it was gross seeing the old men leering and trying to flirt with the bartenders. I felt bad for them. Our server was friendly but also didn't really seem attentive. She felt the need to correct me on my pronunciation of a beer (ok?? so?), which was annoying and she really could have told us about the happy hour buy one get one free. We literally were there 10 mins too early for it - so she charged us in full. I would have sat there for 10 mins happily to get a little discount if I knew about it. The food was meh. I'm not going back. read more

Edited. Changing to 3 stars because the owner made it right by me. We started by walking in and having to wait a minute while 4 servers/hostesses stared at us waiting for us to talk first. Finally, we said, hey, we'd like a table for 2 and were promptly sat even though it felt like we had bugs coming out of our ears. Our server was fine. Our food was not. Award winning chicken wings weren't worth the plate they were served on. The flavor of the sauce was decent, along with the smoke but the actual meat was hard and rubbery. Mac and cheese was very boring. The fried chicken was so bland that I recommend going to kfc for an upgrade. The fries were super salty but I managed to survive, and the water tasted like chlorine. The best part about my meal was the mashed potatoes which isn't a good thing. I think the owner/manager noticed something off when we were leaving with plates full on the table and asked if everything was ok. We politely let her know our qualms, as this is a very hard conversation to have with someone, that their food just wasn't that good. We paid our bill and on the way out she said she "was going to take care of the bill but the waitress got to it first". She didn't offer this to us at the table, and she didn't offer to refund us. Sadly, she offered us a gift card which we couldn't accept (because we're moving out of Nashville in 2 days), and even if we weren't moving, we wouldn't have taken the gift card. The whole situation seemed so disingenuous and they were never going to cover our bill. I'm really disappointed and if you've made it this far in the review, I wouldn't go here. There's plenty of other flavorful chicken spots. read more
