I came here on a Saturday night for an early dinner with some friends…read more Since it was Mother's Day weekend, I figured it was going to be busy but when we got there at 4 PM, we were able to get a table right away. I was originally seated at a high top, but then realized that one of my friends had back issues so I had to move to a different table. Our servers name was Alexander. He was a very nice gentleman and was also very attentive to our table. I started off with a Margarita on the rocks. This is their signature. Margarita and I usually get it when I come here. It is delicious. I highly recommend it. I was undecided on what I wanted to get to eat, but our server recommended the garlic Parmesan chicken. I got that with a side of loaded baked potatoes and a side salad with blue cheese dressing. The only issue was that the chicken was a little on the dry side, possibly overcooked, but still delicious I visited the restroom several times because I was drinking a lot of water and the bathroom facilities were quite clean. The lighting was perfect for an evening dinner. It is definitely a sports bar vibe. Definitely a great place to come watch some college football. Since this is pretty close to my home, I probably will come here more often.

We all agreed beforehand that we wanted to try a new place that felt pretty relaxed and had outdoor seating. This place gave everything, plus some! We didn't have to wait long for a table, and our waiter was very attentive & knowledgeable about the menu. He answered all of our questions & helped me decide what to order. The outdoor seating is spacious & it was nice to hear the live music coming from a neighboring business. My friends got the Goofy Foot drink & said that it was good but definitely on the stronger side w/the tequila. I opted for a glass of Riesling, it was delicious & paired perfectly with my meal. We didn't get any appetizers. I ordered the fish of the day: Red Snapper w/a Sweet Pea, Tomato & Saffron Risotto 20/10 I always judge food on whether it's "first bite" good & every piece on my plate passed the test. One of my friends chose the Smoked Salmon Pizza, which I was a bit skeptical about at first, but I tried a slice & it was so good. Definitely an out of the ordinary pizza combo that made me rethink all the ways smoked salmon can be used. Another friend ordered the Grilled Ribeye w/Brussel Sprouts & Mashed Potatoes, she loved it! The espresso martinis were also delicious. I wanted a cannoli for dessert but they were sold out, unfortunately. Overall, I'll definitely be returning b/c the food, pricing & atmosphere are all worth the drive. Can't wait to try the lunch menu next!

My son got the sloppy Joe and he didn't like it and just didn't eat it. I tasted it and I didn't like it either. It was very sweet. I got the Cajun burger (i think that was the name). It has horseradish and fried onions on it. I should have got the onions on the side because it's a lot of onions. They are good - just better on the side and then add as much on the burger as you want. I would have got some extra horseradish also. It was ok. The restaurant is very clean and tidy. The service is fine. You order at the counter and if you want a refill on your drink you go back to the counter. Plenty of parking. Nicely lit. Lots and lots of locals. Definitely use Google Maps or something to get there because the restaurant building looks like an office building and you can't really see the sign. They have a meat and three menu so I was excited about that but on a Saturday afternoon they were out of a lot of sides. I didn't choose the meat and 3 because they were out of many things.

We started off with mozzarella sticks and they were amazing. You get at least eight sticks. I usually get soda when I come here but tonight I decided to get a margarita on the rocks and it was only seven dollars and it was delicious. My son got the Smashburger and I got the buffalo chicken wrap, but I got the mild sauce on it. We had Natalie J as our server and she was excellent. She was very attentive and prompt with bringing me my to go box as well as my check. I did go to the bathroom and the garbage in there was overflowing. Other than that, it was a great experience. There are a bunch of TVs here so it is a good place to watch sports and at times they do have live music.

We stopped by Champy's for Saturday lunch and were seated immediately by a friendly hostess. The…read morerestaurant has a rustic, down-home atmosphere that fits the Southern comfort food menu perfectly. Our waiter, Hudson, was friendly throughout the meal and did a good job providing recommendations and suggestions. I ordered the 3-Piece White Meat Plate with two breasts and a wing, along with baked beans and coleslaw. I also ordered a side of the Sweet Heat sauce for dipping. My wife ordered the Fried Mississippi Catfish with fries and coleslaw, along with jalapeño hush puppies. The fried chicken and catfish were the stars of the meal. Both came out piping hot, crispy, and well seasoned. My chicken had plenty of flavor to stand on its own, but the Sweet Heat sauce complemented it nicely and added another layer of flavor without overpowering the chicken. The French fries were excellent and easily the best side. Crispy, hot, and exactly how fries should arrive. The remaining sides didn't reach the same level. We both found the vinegar-and-mayo coleslaw somewhere between average and below average. I felt about the same about my baked beans. My wife thought the jalapeño hush puppies were average. If you want excellent hush puppies, Shrimp & Co. in Hueytown remains our standard. Both of our meals were also served with a thick slice of white bread, which fit the simple, down-home presentation. This was our second or third visit to Champy's, and the food that matters most has been excellent each time. The sides may be hit or miss, but they know how to fry some chicken and catfish. Come for the chicken and catfish, definitely get the fries, and consider the other sides supporting players.

We had nachos and burgers and we were able to put the topics we wanted on it. The burger was in hot and of course the cheese wasn't melted on it because it was just sitting out there. It was OK, but I probably wouldn't eat it next time. I also made myself a side salad, and I had their vinaigrette dressing, which was very good. The best thing was the cookie. It was really delicious. The parking can be difficult at times because there's a breakfast place next-door and also a huge apartment complex. However, since we got their first thing when they open, the parking was not bad at all. I did visit the bathroom and it was very clean as was the restaurant.
