    Men's bathroom

    Decided to have lunch here on a Friday afternoon. There was a nice crowd but not a long wait to be seated. I was seated at a big booth and that was perfect since I was also working. My server was sweet and provided good, non overbearing service. I ordered 3 piece white (2 breast & 1 wing) which comes with coleslaw and baked beans. The chicken was fried perfectly!!! Crunchy on the outside and soooo juicy and moist inside. The sides were good and went well with the crispy fried chicken. I ordered to go for my mom and nephew. Their chicken fingers were huge and definitely enough to share or for leftovers. It has been many years since I last visited Champys and I was impressed with the service and the food! I'll definitely be back soon to try their hot tamales and to take advantage again of their $5 Abita Andygator holiday special!

    My husband, son and I decided to try somewhere new to us since we were in the area. The restaurant was pretty crowded for a late afternoon lunch. We were greeted and seated immediately. Pickle spears were delicious. My husband ordered an old fashioned and really loved it. All of our food came out piping hot. Everyone enjoyed their meal. My son ordered the banana pudding for dessert and I stole a few bites and it was perfect. Parking is plentiful. Our server was friendly and attentive.

    We have went a few times here lately. The food has been delicious and the waitresses friendly. We love the Fried Jalapeño basket and the tamales. We get the catfish or fried shrimp plate. The drinks are very affordable. You have to ask for the drink list though most of the time . Every-time I go I see people taking some food home. The last few times they have had more waitresses working. If you want Fried catfish, fried chicken, or fried shrimp this is your place. For a drink I would suggest a Sangria not a hurricane. You do get your moneys worth! The only place in Alabaster I will eat at regularly. Best restaurant in Alabaster no joke!!

    We were coming from the National Cemetery after attending the Wreaths across America service, which was inspirational and beautiful, when we decided to stop here for lunch. Now, let me say this didn't look like your usual family restaurant. I think that's what made it so appealing, the curiosity of it all. Upon arrival, I stopped two customers leaving and asked them if the food was good; their response was, "we''be been here three times this week and we live in Prattville." Say less, I continued to be seated and wait on the rest of my party. How do I describe the decor? I can't. You really have to see this for yourself. Very clean eccentric restaurant. My family joined me and said, the food had better be good! The menu was predominantly a fried menu and they loved it!!! We ordered, fried chicken livers, catfish, shrimp and hush puppies. The portions were large enough to share. The flavors were perfect on all the food. The service was wonderful. She kept our beverages full and was so courteous and polite. I would comeback!!!

    I visited Mar 2025. Good for what it is. The portions were large, service competent and kind, and ambience was unique, albeit the total number of decorative collections exceeded my sanity levels (dollar bills--guitars--signs--bicycle stuff--and I can't remember what else). I would have been content with observing just the vast collection of graffitied $1 bills papering the walls. Some of the chicken was underdone, a risk with deep frying large numbers of chicken pieces at a time. This was another kid-requested restaurant; I just don't enjoy much deep fried, greasy Southern food (thus why I give it only 4 stars). I returned in June with friends and just got a salad; my insides thanked me. P.S. my youngest son had a couple dollars in cash that he personally gave to our waitress for an extra tip, because he had such a nice time! Writing this review has made me want to take my kids back. :-)

    Everything goes well at Champy"s! We are a party of 4. We hungry and ready! Our server is busy but attentive. She got our drink orders and food orders immediately at our request. EVERYBODY GOT CHICKEN! You can't come here and not get chicken. Me, Ma and Dee got chicken wings and Ty got half a chicken. Sides were fries, baked beans, green beans, slaw and okra! Everything is good at Champy's. Y'all already know, I love it here, so I'll be back!

    My friend and I wanted some fried chicken for dinner. We found Champy's close by. The place was pretty big. Friendly atmosphere. The decor of the restaurant was fun with lots of nick-nacks and decorations. I ordered a two piece with potato salad and fried okra. Of course, we order some sweet tea with our dinner. The chicken and sides were excellent. The chicken was hot and juicy. Everything was very delicious. The staff was very helpful and friendly. We had a great dinner!

    The margaritas here are SO much better than the typical ones you will find at a Mexican restaurant that come from a machine. If you're lucky, Meagan will be tending the bar are will offer you some friendly banter while providing excellent service.

    I decided to try Champy's for lunch. My dad and I ordered their fried shrimp po'boy and fries to go. The lady that took my order was very friendly and professional. She was able to answer my question about the bread they used without putting me on hold to check, which was refreshing. The wait was about 15 minutes. Champy's gives off a laid back quirky vibe from the outside. I hope to be able to go in to enjoy the food on my next visit. Their drive-thru is for call ahead orders only, so there is no speaker or menu board. The service was prompt and friendly. I was asked if I needed cutlery or condiments, which is a plus in my book, especially since we were headed to Orr Park. Our food was ready and we'll packaged. The food was still piping hot after thirty minutes of stops and driving. The fries are seasoned and very tasty. The po'boy was very good. It was on toasted New Orleans style French bread. This made me so happy because often times I've gotten a po'boy on a hoagie roll or even a hot dog bun. The bread for the po'boy had been slathered with garlic butter before toasting and it gave it such a good flavor. It was dressed with a Cajun mayo that was just spicy enough to be delicious, lettuce, and tomatoes. The shrimp were fried to perfection but I would have liked more shrimp. I think there were five, maybe six shrimp, which was enough to barely cover the bread. The po'boy was delicious even if it was a little under filled with shrimp. I give Champy's a solid 4/5 stars for to go. I recommend it and hope to return soon and hopefully catch some live music.

    Fried pickles

    The fried pickles were served quickly, we had to wait awhile to eat them because they fresh out the grease. The chicken? Is a yes, cooked fresh to order. I should have ordered fries, the baked beans and potato salad i could not eat, they were both sweet in a bad way. I had the Muddy Waters, it was delicious, not very strong on a lemon taste. The service was great, waitress was attentive. Its smaller inside that i thought, but big enough. Juke joint decor, very eclectic but clean.
