I had some coworkers tell me about this place maybe a year or so ago. They told me some really good things so I definitely wanted to try it when I had a chance. That chance was when I took the day and decided to drive to Daphne. It was around lunch time and Champy's was busy. I went to the register and the woman there gave me a menu. I decided to sit at the bar. There wasn't a lot of deciding I needed to do with the menu. I knew I wanted fried chicken and this was a fried chicken restaurant. I got the 2 piece with baked beans and potato salad. From what I can tell the restaurant had a very friendly environment. The waitstaff brought me my food in a very timely fashion. I tasted my side dishes first and they were really good. I remember the baked beans being very hot temperature wise. The chicken was what I made the trip for and I wasn't disappointed. The chicken was so crunchy and the batter they made it with had a little kick to it. It wasn't spicy but it had a noticeable flavor. I enjoyed every bit of it. I would definitely recommend this place to everyone. read more

The ambiance inside is okay as the furniture and placements are a little uncomfortable, but the food and service both make up for it. It was our first time visiting for most of our party, and we all loved our meals. It happened to be on Trivia Night, so we played for fun in honor of someone close to us--and we won! Such a fun night. Amongst the six of us, we had ordered the tamales (appetizer), chicken wings, fried chicken (of course), chicken tenders, and catfish. All sides received high praise too, especially the mac'n'cheese. It was a wonderful time coming together, commemorating Laurie, eating great food and sharing great memories. I'd recommend coming here for some very casual food and adult fun (trivia). read more

Best FRIED CHICKEN EVER!!! It's crispy, juicy and well seasoned. All the sides are made from scratch and they are ALL AH-MAZING! My sister's favorite is their chocolate cake. To me, it's like a box recipe but still always made fresh daily. read more

Their food is so good! I have never had anything I didn't like! We love their trivia nights on Thursdays! The staff and service is unmatched! And the place has such a fun atmosphere for families! read more

Great food as always. Chicken is hot, tender and delicious. We had the Mac and cheese with slaw. Really good! The reason for the low score was terrible service. I called to speak with a manager, left a message and no call back; so this review sticks. Our server walked past us multiple times, ignored my wife which resulted in me tracking her down as she was visiting with coworkers? Not that busy so no excuses please. read more

Great fried chicken and sides. Wait staff very good price is a little high so 4 stars

So we went to Mobile today and were looking for good fried chicken. This place showed us on our search and we were only about 10 minutes away so we checked it out. The inside is like a roadhouse with checkered tablecloths. The beer list is pretty good and the service quick and friendly. I had the two piece dark and my fiancé had the half chicken. The chicken was hot and fresh. The baked beans very well done. The slaw was just ok so I would skip it next time. All and all a solid experience. I'd go back if I was in the area. read more

Best damn chicken ever. Whenever I'm in town. I have to get my Champy's fix. I love the chicken, tamales and green beans.

My daughter and I stopped at this place during a break from soccer games because we wanted chicken fingers. The chicken fingers were very very good! So, let the number of chicken fingers fool you. They are very big! The service was also good, no complaints. read more

We were greeted and prompted to sit anywhere we wanted. It is a laid back, relaxed diner with a bar and tv's for watching sports. Our server immediately gathered our drink order and returned to take our order. I had the 3 piece wing plate and my friend had the 2 piece white plate. Both plates are served with baked beans and Coleslaw. The plates arrived with freshly hot chicken and hot baked beans and fresh coleslaw. The fried chicken here is to die for, it is true southern fried chicken! read more

Always so good! Chicken is always fresh. My boyfriend and I got 2- 3 piece chicken plates. As sides we got Mac-n-cheese, baked beans, and mashed potatoes. All the sides are so good too! This is the best chicken place in town! Service was as always great! The staff is always so friendly and very hospitable! read more

Chicken just dumped on top of sliced bread. Greasy as all get out . I would rather eat churches Chicken.

I got some gas close by at Walmart, did a search on Yelp for highly rated places for a bite to eat, and Champy's popped up there in the Top 5. I thought this place was a local establishment, but turns out it's a chain throughout AL and TN (I was told). Needless to say I was really impressed with this place, it was a delightful experience. This place has a bar inside with some TVs too, and the bar was pretty busy at 2pm on this day. Seemed like most everyone knew each other. The server came by and gave me a menu, I opted to take the sample route - ordered the the 2 piece dark chicken with 2 sides, and the 3 piece chicken tenders w/ fries. They have 5 or 6 sauces here so I just asked her if I could try all of them - no problem! And no extra charge too - kudos! Tenders came out first w/ fries, I ate one of them and I gotta say - wow - those tenders are awesome. They are large, good quality chicken, crispy hot too, well seasoned. I was really impressed, probably some of the best tenders I've had since I can recall. I like these way better than my usual Chick Fil-A. As far as the betty of sauces - the ranch is made in-house - it's the best. 2nd place is the BBQ, and 3rd would be the honey mustard. Those were my Top 3. Didn't care much for the Champy's sauce, the Buffalo was solid. I really liked the french fries here too, I think there's a slight seasoning on them and they give you plenty in the to-go box. The fried chicken takes longer to cook - but I'm good with that. When it came out it was really hot, got a side of mashed potatoes and gravy plus beans. Both the sides were really good, the fried chicken was a hit I tell ya. It was crispy flaky coating and tasted really good, great quality, rivals the Fried Chicken I had recently at Monell's in Nashville. I was really pleased with my experience here. The customer service was great - she was attentive and nice, patient in explaining the menu to me. She got me to-go boxes right away. Both dishes were really good - in quality and taste. I think we need to get Champy's to come to Austin! read more

We just found this place and it's absolutely great! If you love chicken this is your place. Also has great sides.

I didn't realize this place was a chain in the Southeast! Very cool local spot with a dive-bar feel. Chicken and sides were amazing. In-house Champy's sauce is a must try! read more

By far THEEEE BEST fried chicken and tenders in the area. Their mac and cheese is to die for. Homemade sauces and ranch. They also have a full bar. Only complaint is they put the white bread under the chicken and it makes it all soggy. I've only done take out here so it might be done differently in house. read more

Wow o wow! Traveling from out of town and we were not surprised as why they advertise the fried chicken as world famous. First time I ordered chicken breast and it was juicy.

Fried chicken is the bomb! Nicole is a fantastic bartender; is quick to acknowledge folks coming in and great service. Keeps us coming!!

Best fried chicken in Baldwin County. When we are in Daphne it is where we stop. Easy family spot.

Okay, it was my first time ever hearing about or even seeing this restaurant. Let's get into it, that fried chicken is fire , idk who recipes they stole for the chicken, but yea. BUT the sides were soooooooooo bland. No meat in the baked beans, only the beans and some green peppers, baby do better. And that macaroni and cheese had too much of something and not enough salt and pepper. The servers acted like they didn't see me STANDING IN FRONT OF THEM for like 10 minutes, which was rude and unprofessional and ultimately may be my reasoning for not returning. I'll spend my black dollars where they're actually welcomed and wanted. And where they put just as much effort into the sides as the main course. read more
