The location does a great job keeping up with the flow of traffic despite such a busy area which is super impressive. I've never eaten in only drove through but they do a nice job.

I waited a long time before I tried this place because the lines were crazy!…read moreI went through the drive thru. The person at the window was polite - Chick fil A polite - so great start. Brought home 8 fingers and two orders of fries. The fingers are tender and a nice size but they were bland. You definitely need the sauce for these if you want flavor. The fries were not good although, to be fair, I have rarely found a French fry that is good by the time you get home.

A return visit to Champy's is always on the menu when we visit Chattanooga. You get exactly what…read moreyou expect, and the expectations for great fried chicken are high. We walked in a little after 1:00 on a Sunday and were seated right away. We sat on the patio, which was delightful, and enjoyed the smooth country live music while we ate. We had a Buffalo Wrap, Chicken Tenders, Dark Meat Meal, and half chicken at our table, and all were excellent. The chicken is always crispy on the outside and moist on the inside, just the way great fried chicken should be. All of our sides were good as well and included: Cole Slaw, Potato Salad, Mac and Cheese, and Fries. I didn't get any photos this time, but take a look at everyone else's as they would pretty much be the same, LOL

Holy moley I was not ready for this!!!!!…read more Chicken tenders - fantastic! Crispy and flavorful Green beans - honestly, I truly believe these are the BEST green beans I've ever had. And that's saying something given all I've had. Mashed potatoes and gravy - good but gravy seened a bit watered down. Mac and cheese - Meh. Decent but not much flavor. Middle of the road. Tamales - absolutely AMAZING!!!!! Definitely worth ordering. Wonderful spices, a bit spicy which adds another dimension too. Dipping sauce - omg this is so next level! Perfect balance of cream and flavor makes this one of the best dipping sauces I've ever had for chicken too!!! Wow. Now I see why this place is called Champys. Can I give this place more than 5 stars, pretty please?

I know people love Champys around here but we love hot chicken and this place does it best…read more No frills, simple restaurant with 10 or so tables. You walk in and you choose your table and a nice waitress will bring your menus. We like the chicken strip basket which comes with two sides. Of our favorites are the fries, the collard greens, green beans, and mac and cheese. The chicken strips are very crispy, the meat is just a little dry but the flavor is great with even the mild level heat having nice heat. We also got the catfish which has a perfect crust and perfectly cooked inside. The baskets come with sauce and you get two per order. Probably more than you'll need. You get great food for an affordable price. Good Southern service. Just all around one of our faves.

This was a cool neighborhood spot near downtown that we stopped at the first night we were in town…read more Nice Blues/soul music played on the speakers. We were told to seat ourselves and our menus would be brought to us. After a short wait, the bartender/server came to take our drink order and food order. We both ordered the mild heat chicken tender special (3 tenders and fries for $7). We also added a veggie plate so we could try the Mac and cheese and greens. Our food arrived after a few minutes. The tenders were cooked fresh and were piping hot when they arrived. The chicken was dusted with mild heat seasoning. Outside of that seasoning, they weren't seasoned with anything else. We both remarked that we've had better Nashville hot tenders and better tenders in general. The Mac and cheese was just okay but the greens were the star of the meal. They were flavorful, meaty and had just enough kick to keep things interesting. Good meal overall. I recommend that you try them out. We will return to try other menu items.

I went back to Dave's because I wanted to really enjoy my meal this time, and I'm so glad I did! I…read moregot the mild two-tender meal and when I tell you those tenders were so good--I mean that from the bottom of my heart. Juicy, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. I tried them with honey and Dave's sauce, and both just made them even better. We got there around 10:59 and the guy with the glasses who opened the door was such a vibe! You could tell he loved his job and he made us feel super welcome. The kitchen staff was hustling too--nobody was just standing around. You could tell they all had the same goal: serve great food and keep things moving. Even though it was busy, there was still plenty of space to sit and enjoy our meal. The atmosphere was fun and the staff was really friendly and helpful with questions and orders. I just hope the great service and energy stay consistent even after the "newness" wears off, because this visit was spot on!

Forgot my shake at first, then gave me wrong flavor - didn't realize until I drove away. Cold fries. Sauce cup half full- but that's ok because it tasted like chemicals anyway. Flavorless chicken.

So the taste ... it doesn't appear to be any seasoning used! Like Maine seasoning- zilch! The breading has a strange flavor that was hard to get passed. The only good part was the curly fries. The tender had that same strange flavor. I ate two wings and most of my fries. I'm not sure I'd ever return and will now second guess Facebook ads.

Now I'm not gonna lie. I had a pre conceived idea in my head,it's probably not gonna be that good. Haa I was far from wrong. The chicken while I did find it to be thin for also being such a big piece of chicken. I chose The big Cali . To me the sandwich was spot on. Chicken,mayo,tomatoes, lettuce, grilled onions,bacon and avacado. A perfect combination, for a perfect sandwich. I ordered fries and a unsweetened tea. I also found I had a love for their big chic sauce. I got some and found it to be perfect for dipping in my fries. I'm ashamed to admit. I even went back and got another dipping cup of it and drank it by its self. I'll probably come back again before I leave town. I found the inside to be up to date,modern decor .

Customer service was 10/10 and spot on. The place was very clean. My order was 100% correct. Portions are excellent. And the RANCH dressing is my favorite so far in Chattanooga. Chicken tenders are decent. I got the regular and supposedly the xtra spicy Nashville hot but there is nothing spicy about this. Fries are 5/10. This is probably the worse Mac & Cheese I've ever eaten. The most BLAND NON SEASONING Mac & Cheese. I honestly feel like I am being pranked. How can this be served to people for consumption...it's being sold. So I paid $$$ just to eat the ranch and tenders. Cheese curds were a 5/10 as well. The sauces are great. I won't be returning sadly. FIX THE MAC & CHEESE. Am I in Chattanooga?
