This is a must visit when you come to Nashville. Great chicken, the shrimp and grits are also good. I had chicken livers this go around. Atmosphere is fun and exciting. They also serve 40oz beers for all you old skool folks. Service was fast and attentive. Had a awesome time, great vibes!!!
Champy's is a solid choice for fried chicken that is really good - light on batter, crisp on the outside and so juicy and tender inside. Cole slaw is also really good - not too sweet. They also have some interesting cajun items. The gumbo is solid but could be spicier. The Mississippi delta tamales were very interesting, as they were served with saltines. Good selection of beers on tap and friendly service. The place looks fun, and it is fun and has some great food at a very reasonable price!
After a bunch of visits I can tell you that this excellent fried chicken is not a coincidence, it is a safe bet - every time! My favorite is the meat plate (breast and wing) or the Chicken Finger Basket, and that comes with the fries too and the fries.... Yay! They are delicious, crispy and dipping them in the Champys sauce is just one more way to make your day! If you have room for another side or a starter I will recommend the Fried Jalapeno Basket, it comes with its own sauce that is perfect to contradict the mild-spicy jalapeños. The staff is always attentive and nice ( Kayla in the bar is fantastic). If you have a larger group they also have two separate rooms you can rent.
Walking in on a Friday night we were seated immediately and greeted by a lovely young lady named Olivia, who was delightful. The evening went downhill from there. First, there was no Bud Light on draft (who didn't have draft Bud Light?) I opted for the bottle, and when she returned said they only had the 40oz size. No biggie, I'll just have water. I'm the meantime I drank about a quarter of the wife's water just before she discovered the long steak of thick slime inside the glass, top to bottom. See the nasty photo. Olivia was kind enough not to charge us for the bottled water she brought. Then I ordered the gumbo (advertised as New Orleans style.) I DO know better, but ordered it anyway, and received a bowl of a thick, gooey, white mess. It was NOT New Orleans gumbo, and it was awful. The wife ordered the pickle, sausage, cheese appetizer, and it wasn't good either. The pickles were kosher sprays sliced and stick onto toothpicks, the cheese was plain pepperjackl squares, and the sausage was cooked beef jerky consistency. There are a lot of good reviews here, so maybe I just experienced an off night, but I won't be coming back. The best experience here was Olivia.
Champy's was actually my favorite meal the entire trip. We went Sunday around noon and had a wonderfully brunch. We ordered the French toast and crawfish étouffée. The French toast was nice and crispy but so soft in the middle. The crawfish étouffée was a show stopper. So flavorful and packed full of crawfish. Service was quick and friendly. Prices weren't bad. There was so much room inside and I loved the decor and vibe. Overall, I would come back in a heartbeat next time we are in town.
Stopped here for takeout on a Sunday evening. We liked the chicken sandwich so much we returned the next day for lunch. The fried chicken here is good. I recommend getting the fried chicken sandwich. A large chunk of chicken, seasoned well and cooked perfectly lies in a toasted bun. It's accompanied by crisp, salty battered fries, sauce, pickles, and coleslaw. Service was also great each visit. When we dined in, Mimi, was our server. She was sweet, helpful, and checked in on us often. Definitely check out Champy's Chicken if you are in Nashville!
Service: 4.0. Good service. No complaints. Food: 3.0. I got the 2 piece fried chicken with fries and baked beans. The fried chicken was cooked well and the batter was delicious. The fries had that extra coating which is something I don't care for. The baked beans were ok. The beer lines were frozen so I opted for water. Ambiance: 4.0. The place was empty but the decor was nice. Music was sad bluesy songs and a few old gospel songs. Made me relaxed but kinda sleepy.
Nashville original chicken sandwich was so good we went two days in a row! The sandwich had a great slow heat a good amount of French fries. Staff was super friendly and patient while we read the menu. Plenty of drink choices. Lots of TV's so many tables.
Food was good. Good portion. Fries had an extra crispy batter that was good. Chicken sandwich was thick and moist. Champy sauce (honey mustard and BBQ type sauce) was a great compliment. Coleslaw was a sweet style and also good with sandwich. I would visit again.
Nice portion of fried green tomatoes, came with 8 pieces and they are HUGE! They were cooked well. I would have loved if they had a little more seasoning and a bit more kick to them... or any kick at all. Otherwise they are still a pretty solid choice. Service was ok. The ambiance is... Nashville. I don't have too many complaints, not bad, not amazing, I got what I came for so that'll do.
We debated between the seafood gumbo & shrimp étouffée so we shared both together. The Shrimp Etouffee is hands down the better choice!!! It is SO flavorful! We sat at the bar & our bartender was very nice too, providing great service.
This is a basic place. Basically good. The food is typical food you will find at many places, but it has a that southern aspect of it. To be more specific, the Mississippi and Louisiana area of the south. Customer service was great, and it came with honesty when asking about certain items. I do like that they did not say the typical, "Oh everything is great" especially when I see gumbo, etouffee, and jambalaya on the menu. For many of us when we see that on the menu you are like me and think, "What do they know about gumbo?" The gumbo was not bad, and it is different but still enjoyable. I am more of a seafood gumbo, but I can get down with the sausage (stop giggling), chicken, and shrimp. I did enjoy it and you might want to order an extra side of rice with it to go along with the two scoops that already come with it. The only thing missing was a piece of French bread. I also tried the tamales which were also pretty good. It has been a minute since I had tamales also. The star of the apps were fried green tomatoes. At many places you order FGT and if you are lucky, you get four at a ridiculous price. The FGT appetizer here was a whole tomato and you could tell it was fresh. Someone in the back doing some dipping and frying when you place this order. Pretty good-sized order and the remoulade sauce that came with it was not as tangy as I would like but still good. A solid four stars. This is a great place in case you got that person who has no idea what they want or did not make a suggestion of where they want to eat. The menu is limited so there is no constant searching around due to a large number of items but still offers variety. My only issue is that when you see a place serving up some cajon options you start getting a taste for some boudin but unfortunately they do not offer it.
The restaurant was extremely close to the hotel. i was able to go during brunch and they have a good menu with great prices. i ordered the chicken tender biscuit and gravy with a side imof harsh brown casserole. The meal was good with a larger portion. The service was good

Overall, I would give Champy's Chicken a 3.5/5. We were hungry after a long day and stopped by for a quick late night bite. The staff were super nice and accommodating but the food was mid and service was slow. Regarding service, I did notice after the fact that they note on their menu that the chicken is made to order so it's fresh, making it take longer sometimes, but there was no one in there besides us. The ambiance was a vibe for sure, but not sure if I would go back for the food. Food reviews below: - Fried Jalapeño Basket (10/10) - crispy and delicious - Fries (10/10) - solid crispy fries - Champy's Chicken Wrap (8/10) - fried version, flavorful - Fried Chicken Sandwich (7.5/10) - good, but better spots in Nashville for Hot Chicken read more

Champy's is a fun restaurant that features a full bar and the cutest decor. I did not order anything off the menu when visiting but I did enjoy a Tennessee Mule. Broadway can get very chaotic. Champy's is the perfect place to stop in for a nice cold one and hot meal. The drink menu is very extensive as the food options leave nothing left to o be desired. I can't wait to return. read more

Got a can of white claw for 9 dollars. High for drinks. Desserts looked good read more

Tried this place for dinner during a recent trip. T the wings were very good, though I liked the buffalo better than the Nashville hot. The gumbo and chicken strips were also good, but the gumbo was served at close to room temperature, which took a good amount away from it. My daughter also liked the chicken strips and fries. read more

Stumbled upon this place while in town for TSU homecoming and it was amazing. The service was attentive, the food was perfectly seasoned, and everything came out hot. The atmosphere puts you in mind of a dive sports bar with a hometown field. It was very clean and will definitely be a regular here when I visit Nashville. read more

We went for lunch. The staff were extremely friendly. We ordered the fried green tomatoes (they were delicious and there were so many!), the gumbo and the catfish. Hands down an amazing meal. The atmosphere was very laid back. The star of the show however was the Bloody Mary! AMAZING!!! Would absolutely recommend this place! read more
We stopped here for a bite to eat after a long day on Broadway. Grabbed a spot at the bar and ordered a blended drink. Lots of fun options! Food came out pretty fast and it was a pretty normal, no frills chicken place. Service was ok -- the place was getting ready to close for the night so we didn't expect much. read more

5 stars for the chicken and the good vibes here! Solid fried chicken with an expansive bar and lots of TVs. Attentive, friendly service. Perfect for game day or anytime you just need the friend chicken fix. Chicken was crispy, juicy and flavorful. Gumbo was ok, probably would not get that again but definitely would come back for the chicken when I visit Nashville again. read more

Enjoyable dining experience. We were greeted appropriately and timely. Our waitress, Paisley, was a gem. She was attentive, yet gave us space. The food was delicious and greasy (expected for southern cuisine). This may just be a new favorite. read more
