Best fried chicken I've had in a long time. Fried pickles are fantastic, Gumbo was excellent! Can't wait to go back! Wish we had one of these in Orlando.Very reasonable prices too. read more

The food here is great and always cooked fresh. We eat here several times a month and it never disappoints. If your looking for some delicious fried chicken and tasty sides this is the place. read more

Very good chicken, little bit salty like most fried chicken. Cole slaw ok. Mac n cheese - cheddar style was delicious! Husband loved the baked beans side with chunks of green pepper in it. Not a bad lunch - price was good and it ended up being more than we could eat, leftovers are always great! read more

Champy's Murfreesboro - 3 pc chicken, cole slaw and cheddar mac n cheese - American Near Me - Murfreesboro, Tennessee

I really have little to say other than we will not be back. The tamales were only ok and tasted mass produced like what they serve in a school cafeteria, really icky. This is a chicken place and other than white fish, chicken is pretty darn cheap as a protein, and this place is very overpriced for dry chicken. Not impressed. For the price and the advertising I expected the best in town and it was not. My husband never complains about food, he said it was really bad food. Service was great, food was bad. read more

First time at Champy's but won't be the last. We went for dinner, had the two piece fried chicken dish with mac and cheese and beans. The beans were nothing special but the mac and cheese was the best I had anywhere. The chicken was fried to perfection, so juicy and crunchy. I really enjoyed the meal. The only thing I would improve is serving it in the dining room on real plates, I felt that the paper goods and styroform need to go. I kept thinking about how we are suppose to be caring for our environment and eating off of papergoods was making me feel guilty. I can imagine how many paper plates and cups they go through in a day! The atmoshere is what I would expect in a chicken place. The service was excellant, my stroform cup stayed full! We will go back soon. read more

It was ok, nothing superb. They took our order got our food pretty quick. Food was ok, the place looked a little dirty, bathroom was not that clean. We are new to Murfreesboro, so will definitely check out a few more restaurants before going back. read more

First time here at Champy's Murfreesboro and It was quite an impressive experience. This place is a cool place to hang out with friends and family. Cool atmosphere with the delta blues jamming out in this establishment to go along with the soul food being served here. The Champy's Verdict - 1. The atmosphere was great with good music! 2. The drinks never got dry; good service. 3. You can eat outside on the deck which is huge. 4. Nice bar area and cool people making drinks. 5. The FOOD - It was great! Great chicken and sides to make you smile for more! 6. The prices here - OMG! Very reasonable... I thought it should have been more. This place is well worth the price you pay for the food your getting here. Pricing is EXCELLENT! Next,,, 7. With some good their is some bad. However, it was kinda worth taking the bad after the food arrived. The only bad thing about this place is the wait for your food. It's a lengthy wait but the end result is well worth it! I encourage others to go check out Champy's Murfreesboro for yourself and I will definitely be back! Peace, H read more

Store was not in the least busy. It was close to 9 on a Wednesday. I decided to wait only an extra 20 minutes for 1 item to go that was supposedly "super fast, they just have to heat it up, like 6 minutes." (According to her, who hadn't even remembered to put the order in.) There was also a lady standing near me who was handed her to-go order, but barely acknowledged while saying that she needed to pay- the little girl who handed her the bag walked away and told her just "hold on." 10 minutes later she is still waiting with her food trying to just pay for it, I would have walked out without paying if I were her because of the pure lack of staff attention. I left without my food. Will never be going back just because of the service, I didn't even get to try the food. 1/10 for the decor. read more

Their fried chicken was pretty good. I really liked it. It was crispy, and I liked how it didn't have too much seasoning. It wasn't too salty. Definitely southern fried chicken. I really love their french fries. I'm very picky when it comes to fries, but theirs is awesome. It's located at the old hooters. Kinda still looks like hooters on the inside. We were greeted with a hostess, and they are I guess known for their fortys. I saw that they had a wine option that comes in a forty, but I didn't get to order that today because my other half drinks beer so we ordered a coors and shared it. It came out with 2 beer glasses for us. We got the half a chicken (wing, breast, leg, and thigh) and it comes with baked beans and slaw, but we replaced it with fries. Their baked beans were ok. It came out on paper plates, and our waters came out in styrofoam cups, but all in all, it was a pretty good experience. We will be back to try other things we didn't get to try today. read more

Great service and food here! Had a great waitress named bailey! super cute gal who was great at her job!!!! 10/10 recommend going here, great food, good times!! read more

We went to Champy's for lunch today most enjoyable. The food and service were amazing. The menu says to give them a little extra time since the chicken is cooked fresh per order not like some who keep it in a warmer or on a steam table. This was hot and fresh. We had Mac n cheese and the green beans for our sides. My wife had the livers and I had the 4 piece fried chicken. Had plenty for supper tonight. The girls who waited on us were exceptional, attentive, and very nice. We'll be back. read more

I've been a couple of times now; dine in and take out. I've tried the chicken and fish and most sides. Everything is cooked fresh and to perfection. This place is a must if you're in Murfreesboro. read more

Large, juicy chicken tenders. Wish they had descriptions of the sauces on the menu but found one I liked on the second try. Mac and cheese was great, too. Cool "inside" area that was open to the outside. read more

Champy's Murfreesboro - American Near Me - Murfreesboro, Tennessee

Growing up in the Mississippi delta, tamales were a staple of my diet so I have had them my entire life. When I saw Champy's while out Friday evening with my wife and son on our way to dinner at another place, I made a u turn and tried it out. The tamales were just as good as any I had ever had growing up! Great texture with plenty of beef and just the right seasoning. Just spicy enough without being overwhelming. My wife and I both had the two piece fried chicken and I was really impressed with how well it was done. Not overly breaded or greasy. Very crispy with juicy perfectly cooked chicken underneath. Love the look and feel of the restaurant. Made me feel like I was back home in the delta. Can't wait to go back and try some of the other offerings. read more

First time eating here and likely the last. Wasn't busy at all at 1pm but my food took quite some time to come out of the kitchen. My chicken leg and thigh came out hot but looked like it came from a pheasant (small size). The chicken leg was so salty either someone was playing a joke or accidentally spilled the whole salt shaker on it. The thigh was much better so I know this is likely an anomaly. The jalapeño hush puppies were just warm and bland. The cole slaw had an odd flavor that I can't really describe (hopefully I won't be sick later). The baked beans were awesome.....and my coke was great! I really wanted this to be good but that chicken leg was ridiculously salty and nothing was remotely good except the beans and coke. Maybe you'll have a better experience than I. read more

Picked up a chicken liver snack and three tamales today. Some of the best of both that I have ever had. Great portion on the livers and two of us could not eat them all at one meal. read more

Miss Juicy was the best server I've ever had!! She was so attentive and kind! The place was packed but she took care of our party for my son's birthday effortlessly! The food was delicious and the service was even better! Can't wait to go back and see her again and get some yummy crawfish!!! read more

The chicken was season well and the tamale was pretty good. I only wish that the tamale were a little spicier.

Don't be fooled , the food is brought in by outside source and heated in Microwave. Place should be called "Crapy's"

We ordered Door Dash, $60 bucks worth. We did not receive the eight extra hush puppies we ordered or the large Banana Pudding. I complained to Door Dash and they went back for the remaining order. We received 1 hush puppy. One. I can't decide if they really just suck or were showing what they thought of having to fixing the order. I thought the chicken and catfish was good. The Mac and cheese was plasticky and tasteless. All in all, I'd rather eat KFC and have my order right. read more

Finally went back for the first time since the pandemic hit. Love the spacing and precautions workers are using. And the food remains just as good. Best fried chicken I've ever had. Tried the fried green tomatoes appetizer today. Delicious. Tamales still awesome. Service was excellent. read more

Well I would give zero stars if I could because I never got the chance to try this place. we showed up there at about 1045 today on a Sunday and the hostess said we could sit at the bar so we did. We passed by 4 girls who were employees chatting at the bar. We sat down and sat there for 5 or 6 minutes. All the girls seen us and 3 could see us sitting there. We looked at them a couple times and no one moved or said a word. Not like hey be right with u. Absolutely no menus and no conversation. So we got up walked passed them and passed the hostess who said have a nice day and we left. Don't know if we will give it another try or not. I can say the place was very slow at the time so it wasn't a matter of being busy. read more

If you're reading this, you must be interested in Champy's. Are you ready for an honest review? Well, here goes. Awhile back, the wife and I went there, expecting a good, fried chicken dinner at a reasonable price. Well, we get there, the waitress takes the order for two, fried chicken dinners, and lo and behold, it was close to 45 minutes before we got our food! And, to add to the long wait, the food was served on styrofoam plates with plastic forks and knives! The chicken was okay, but nothing to write home about. Also, regarding the sides I had (baked beans and potato salad), they were also just average, along with the fact that they were very skimpy in how much food they put on the plate. Finally, regarding the prices, I thought they were WAY overpriced -- especially in light of how little food they gave you. In summation, I would definitely NOT recommend going to Champy's for these five main reasons: 1) Extremely slow service. 2) Usage of styrofoam plates and plastic forks and knives. 3) Average food at best. 4) Smallish portions for their sides. 5) Extremely high prices considering what you're paying for. Again, I would highly recommend that you DO NOT go to Champy's. read more

Pros: My parents really like the hot tamales here, which have a nice masa-to-meat ratio and a little heat without being hot. The slaw is also pretty good (and different; is that a little kale?). Fast service. Gotta love the crushed ice. Were also boiling crawfish or something out back under a little awning when we pulled in, which instills a lot of confidence in both their credentials as southern cooks and the promise that the food is made-to-order. Cons: Everything is styrofoam! So wasteful, terrible for the environment. Boooooooooooooooo. read more

This is a review from a visit in September . I decided to try the catfish and my boyfriend had the chicken so we could share . While the food was good , I didn't find the chicken to be any better than any other chicken place in town . The fish was good . Servings were large . The beer selection is decent . There were a few different ones , including the one in the pic . We would only go back if there was a special or we were meeting someone. There are better places for chicken in Murfreesboro for a better value . We will go back to try tamales as we have been told by several people that's where the restaurant stands out . read more

Good atmosphere and great food. Accommodating to large parties and the kids can easily find favorite menu items.

This is a must! The best tamales I have ever eaten, and the three of us shared a 3 lb serving of crawfish with sausage, potatoes, mushrooms and corn on the cob. Can't brag enough. Service was on point too! Rachel and the staff get 5 stars. read more

Really great service! Food is hot and fresh. Order the Gumbo off menu, really good. On weekends there's live blues.

If you love chicken, jalapeños, and tamales, this is your place! Chicken was phenomenal!!

Atmosphere is great, music is great, service is great, prices are reasonable, but the catfish dinner totally sux.

We visit Saturday and this was my wife's 1st time and my 2nd time (1st was in Chatanooga). Loved the food and atmosphere, we'll be back soon and often. Looking to try other items on the menu. Had catfish platter, chicken wings, fried pickles, slaw and beans, and it all was very good. read more

Driven by this place a hundred times but never stopped. They were having their anniversary and advertised 2 for 1 drinks, $5 margaritas! Yes please! Went with some friends and was pleasantly surprised it wasn't super crowded that Saturday afternoon. The food was actually good! If you order the fried chicken livers, just know it will feed 6. The signature tamales were AMAZING and fried chicken was great! I will definitely return. Good place for casual dining and laid back vibe. read more

The chicken is cooked to order and tastes like home cooked in a good cast iron fryer. Its good! The service is all ways good. Baked beans, slaw, fries are some of the best. My hubby and I have made this our go to chicken spot. And recently had chicken & waffles and mimosas for brunch it was delicious! The syrup was not thick at all but cooked down. Please believe me this is one to put your good return list. I like the environment to the normally play good music mix. Try it! read more

Champys has a good Happy hour and friendly bartenders. I love that they make their frozen drinks. My favorite are the fried green tomatoes and the homemade hot tamales. The hushppies and catfish filets are so good. Servers are friendly. read more

Some of the best damn fried chicken on the planet. Real deal stuff. Love those chicken tenders with the Champy's sauce! And the 40's are cool, but they have plenty of other drink options if that not your thing. read more

Just finished an absolutely delicious chicken dinner from Champy's! Just reviewing the food here, since I had it delivered by Orange Crate. The chicken was absolutely phenomenal! Even though I live on the other side of town, it arrived piping hot and super crispy. They must be cooking their birds in oil hot enough to make the devil sweat because the chicken isn't greasy at all! Granted, you're gonna get a little messy eating it because it is that juicy, but trust me, it's not grease. The seasoning brings a little bit of heat, so it may be a bit much for some folks, but I found it to be perfect. The skin was nice and crispy without relying on a ton of flour. It was nice and light but with a great flavor. The sides were also great. We had baked beans, potato salad, green beans and mashed potatoes and gravy. The mashed potatoes and gravy were good, nothing to complain about here. The baked beans had a couple of different types of beans in them, weren't overly sweet and were very mild. There isn't any meat, but onion adds some good flavor and these were very tasty. Green beans are where all the meat is hiding, and they have a great meaty ham flavor without being overly salty. Delicious! Finally, the potato salad... I was excited when I popped the top on the container and saw a heavy dusting of paprika. Just the way my grandma used to make hers! The potato salad is an egg mustard variety, and aside from the size of the potato chunks, it was like eating my grandma's potato salad. I wouldn't change a thing! Creamy, not overly mustardy, great flavor from the paprika and little chunks of egg white here and there. Couldn't ask for better potato salad! I will definitely have to get some more delicious food from Champy's very soon! read more

Really loving this place. Great vibe. Here on a friday night. Great atmosphere indoors and out. I would say I would love to see some trees all along the Street line so we didn't have to hear the cars and it feel more like we are not on a busy street. I love that their windows roll up like garage doors and we love the atmosphere who did not eat tonight but we will be back! read more

Tamales are awesome. Fried chicken is on point. Mac and cheese superb. Beer is ice cold. Service was amazing. What else could you possibly want? 40 oz beer koozie? Say no more. This is the place to go for your fried chicken fix. read more

The food is excellent, service is spotty. I am a fan though. Eclectic atmosphere and great chicken and sides.

I really enjoyed the fried chicken and my whole meal at champy's. I also tried the tamales and shrimp. It seems like a great place to go for appetizers, as they have a wide variety of yummy options and a good atmosphere. I will be back. read more
