Good huge buffalo chicken fingers and love the tamales! I would stop here again. The service was good, food was fast, and it is a cute spot.

I didn't get what I had ordered. The waitress showed up to finally take our order and finally brought the check. She never came back. The food was HORRIBLE! Wouldn't recommend. read more

I love Champy's. Last time at Muscle shoals was disappointing, but this location did a great job. Chicken was fresh, absolutely get extra gravy for the chicken or potatoes, and the Mac and cheese is awesome. read more

The chicken was great very moist and hot, the mac and cheese was saucy and the noodles held the sauce well, the mashed potatoes were also great. I would have preferred the some more pepper in the batter and the mac to be a cooked a bit more firm, but that's my personal preference. The key lime pie was a great finish to the meal. My server Queeny was an absolute gem. read more

Delicious food and nice atmosphere. Service usually good. Their kitchen stops serving at like 10 or 10:30pm when open until 11pm which is a drag. It is a little pricey in my opinion. But I like coming here, food is solid, and will come again. Smoked wings had good flavor. Only one little cup of dipping sauce though. Will need to order extra. Hush puppies are average. I won't order them again. They are more compact than fluffy. read more

I tried Champys after reading very positive reviews about the place. First of all the chicken seemed like it was previously frozen, not fresh and had absolutely next to no seasoning. Bland is an understatement. This is not good ole southern fried chicken at all. The only item that had any real taste was the fried okra and that is being generous. Sorry Champy's we won't be back. read more

We arrived at 2:10. We were seated right away and never served. The waitress that we did see appeared to ignore us, along with the person maintaining the tables. We walked out at 2:35, having never seen our server. I gave the menus back to the host on the way out and let him know we were leaving. I don't think anyone cared. read more

I have always loved the Champy's in Muscle Shoals, though we haven't been in a couple of years. I was starving, we were in the area, so off to the Madison location we went. Honestly, I wish we'd just waited at one of the other restaurants in the area for a table. To start, when we walked in there was an overwhelming smell of "dirty bathroom." You know the smell. A quick trip to the bathroom later confirmed: nasty bathroom, horrible smell. They may have a sewage system issue. Regardless, we went to our table and ordered our drinks (note: they have the "good ice" like Sonic). Though our drinks were refilled promptly, the food took FOREVER. There were maybe 20 customers in the entire place, so this wasn't a good sign. Better half got chicken tenders and mashed potatoes. I got catfish, mashed potatoes, and green beans. Though the chicken and catfish were good, the sides have gone WAY downhill. What used to be homemade (like you would occasionally find a lump of actual potato) mashed potatoes tasted like instant KFC grub. The green beans were underseasoned (surprising since they contain ham) and just meh. Actual side portions were laughably small, as well. Though the catfish was fine, the tartar sauce tasted overwhelmingly like horseradish, not tartar sauce. Hush puppies were tiny and hard as rocks. Maybe it's just a "this location" problem, but I have a feeling the chain has gone the way of Big Bad Breakfast--gotten too large, food has suffered. Service was good, but the entire restaurant was dirty, the smell was foul, prices have risen while quality has suffered. I doubt we'll be back. read more

We loved everything about this place. The ambiance was very relaxing and our service was immaculate thanks to Nausha. Our food came out in a timely fashion and was very fresh. We enjoyed our meal and we will be back soon! read more

Decided to drive down from Tennessee, just a 40-minute drive to try it out. Visited the establishment on Madison Blvd Huntsville Al. Brandie took real good care of me the entire time. She recommended the catfish platter first off. She must have read my mind because I was craving catfish. Food arrived 10-12 minutes after I was seated. The catfish was hot and crispy! I should have ordered extra hushpuppies as they were rather small but very good. I had slaw and fries with my order. Food was splendid! I will definitely have to try the chicken next time. Go see Brandie and she will take really good care of you too! I will be going back 4 sure! Thanks Brandie! read more

I've been to Champy's a few times and every time I went I've ordered bone-in chicken. The wait staff has always been nice. I even met a mother-daughter team. I found the restaurant to be very clean and one thing that I also like is that it has a big parking lot Very easily accessible for anyone that's in a wheelchair. read more

Love the fried chicken, mash potatoes with yummy gravy, Mac n' cheese, and hush puppies with the special tarter sauce! The vibe inside is pretty cool as well! Service was quick! read more

A Standout Southern Experience - Thanks to Ki! We're visiting from Salt Lake City and decided to try this fried chicken spot--and WOW, what a memorable experience, all thanks to our incredible waitress, Ki. From the moment we sat down, Ki welcomed us with genuine Southern charm and the warmest smile. She wasn't just our server--she felt like an old friend, making us laugh, sharing local tips, and connecting with us on such a real level. She asked about SLC, gave us thoughtful suggestions on what to do around town, and made us feel completely at home. Ki explained the menu like a pro, clearly breaking down what's house-made, what's frozen, and what's special to this place--something very few servers ever do. She helped us choose the perfect sauces and made trivia night extra fun by cheering us on, refilling our teas, and checking in without missing a beat. Even though we came in dead last in trivia, she left the sweetest note on our receipt: "Best place, last place." We left her a 50% tip because she truly went above and beyond--working hard, staying upbeat, and being such a light the entire evening. Ki is the real deal. She's smart, sincere, hilarious, and a total gem. Promote her, reward her, clone her--whatever you need to do. Every restaurant needs a Ki. We've traveled all over, and I can honestly say: she's one of the best servers we've ever had. Thank you, Ki!! read more

Not impressed. Chicken was done but chewy.......,.........................................

Was visiting Huntsville and this place was suggested. I like the set up of the place, and the friendliness of the staff. Ordered 16 pieces of chicken with fried okra and mac n cheese. The chicken were huge compared to KFC, Popeye, Church and Jolibee. But taste wise, Jolibee is still on top. read more

Stopped in for lunch. I hadn't eaten all day, and was looking forward to having lunch with my brother. I ate 4 out of the 8 buffalo wings and couldn't make it to the front door before throwing up in their bathroom. I was up ALL night feeling like someone hit me in the stomach with a sledgehammer. I spoke to the manager right after throwing up in her restaurant and she couldn't have cared less!!! She was more concerned about the status of the bathroom and if she would have to mop it or not. The whole experience was disgusting from the food to the response from management. I am going to tell every single person that I know THEE moment lunch is mentioned. Definitely something I won't soon forget! In addition, the only reason why my brother didn't get sick. Is because he refused to eat it, they brought out a whole new serving and we threw it away in their own trash. read more

Not sure what has happened recently, but to say they have gone down is quite an understatement. I've visited twice recently. Service was poor and the food was marginal. Today I returned again only to wait 45 minutes with one visit from the server and never received my order. We stopped another server and she said she would check on our order. She never returned. There were several servers and only a few tables. So they were not busy. My wife and I finally just had to leave. read more

First time at Champy's. I just cannot believe how good the food was. Cannot wait to go back!! We had the fried green tomato's and then the sausage cheese pickles. Hokey Pete! Both were things I don't normally order. But I want more now!!!! Had chicken sandwich and some tamales for main meal. Both were so amazing. Oh and the staff was amazing and we felt like we were really valued. I'll be back as soon as we're back in town! First meal guaranteed. read more

Very good fried chicken. I ordered the 2 piece white meat with sides of potato salad and baked beans. The chicken pieces were large and delicious. The crust on the chicken was flavorful and crispy. The sides were fresh and very good. I highly recommend Champy's. We will be back to order more fried chicken. read more

I'm a fan! This place is slap yo momma good, in fact you'll go back and slap her twice. The sausage , pickles, & cheese app is to die for! They have peppercini peppers in it with pepper jack cheese, a winning combo. The tómales people rave about did not do it for me. I'm starting to think these folks never had real tómales. I'll skip that next time. Their fried chicken was yummy, nothing special but not bad either. It satisfied my craving. I'm thankful for a spot that offers just a side piece of chicken rather than having to buy most of the bird. I loved their super cheesy and gooey Mac and cheese! The green beans where French beans, not my style at all but my date liked them so much he finished them for me. The chicken tenders are perfect, moist and generous serving sized. We paired them with okra rather than fries , that okra was out of this world good. Overall I'm eager to come back and eat some more. read more

Have you ever heard the quote, "people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel" (Maya Angelou)? I did not feel the love at CC's. In fact, I longed for the days when it was Bison's and then I believe, it was Buffalo's before that - it's been there a while ya'll. I didn't realize those were the good ole, laid back days, before CC's took over. I spent many, many hours at the previous restaurants located here, primarily playing Brain Blast trivia, or enjoying a local band on the patio, picking up their delicious wings to go, enjoying a happy hour glass of vino, or stopping in after playing golf, or after hitting the nearby driving range. Back then, the place was packed with all walks of life and had a vibrant, friendly neighborhood bar look and feel and it was smoker friendly. It served mediocre wine knowingly and willingly at a mediocre wine price point. CC's corporate "rustic" bluesy feel is okay and they did a substantial buildout with several patios and a significantly larger bar and a nice upgrade to the parking lot - meaning larger parking spaces which is nice. The restroom, unfortunately, did not benefit from a remodel. I do not get to see my best friend, who's corporate office is adjacent very often anymore and we squeezed in a hour, pre-Christmas get together at CC's, meeting in the bar. The bar had 2 individuals and two couples as the hour progressed. Not a big crowd on this Thursday afternoon. Anyway, on to the consumables! For vino, your selection is an airplane sized Cavit Pinot Grigio @ 6.00 - this is the least flavorful pinot grigio on the planet. Additional vino selections include (I believe it was) 'house brand' red blend in a beer sized can (don't know it's price) which BF (and I agreed) was just blah. Last wine selections were Sterling Chardonnay (and I think a cabernet sauvignon) in larger screw top cans. I opted for the Chard and she opted for the cab sav. We both used the Sterling to try to amp up the drinkability of the previous wine selections. The sterling wines are priced at something like 9.75 each, and truly leave you feeling like a teenager sneaking a beer in the high school parking lot behind the baseball dugout. Discussing the fine qualities of cheese, we opted for the sausage, cheese and pickle plate. It tasted like kielbasa sausage that was pan fried, with nice sized chunks of cheese (never looked for nor saw the pickles but BF said they were present) with numerous toothpicks to eat with. With charcuterie boards being all the ravge now, it would have been nice to have it presented in something other than a wax paper lined basket. Still, the cheese was good and I had leftovers for the hubs. I think this dish was just under 10.00. Around twice a year, BF enjoys a cigarette. We ducked out to the patio to have one - well two actually, of course closing the door behind us but wanting to keep an eye on my purse which was hung under the bar (thank you for installing purse hooks!). ~ 8 minutes later the bartender came out on the patio (holding the door open the entire time) to scold us for smoking there and stating,"the whole bar smells like smoke now." We apologized profusely (no "do not smoke" signs were evident anywhere), extinguished the offenders and asked her kindly, to please shut the door (to prevent more offensiveness to enter the bar area). From this point on, we were not feeling the CC love and are certain some bar patron complained. I would suggest that CC's put up "no smoking" signs to make their policies clear and, speaking of smells - I would also like to suggest CC's deep clean the women's restroom which has an odd, noxious odor. read more
