Now THIS is how fried chicken is supposed to be…read more I stopped by Champy's while visiting Chattanooga, and it was the highlight of my afternoon. The fried chicken came out hot, crispy, juicy, and full of flavor. You could literally see the juices coming out of the chicken, and every bite was delicious. The customer service was excellent as well. Everyone was friendly, welcoming, and attentive throughout the meal. I also enjoyed the atmosphere. The walls were covered in dollar bills and license plates, which gave the restaurant a lot of character and made it feel like a place with stories to tell. I found myself wondering about the history behind it all.

We got to choose our table and had friendly service the whole time. Note that although the service is pretty good, the food coming out was a little slow. We got the 3 chicken tender basket, catfish basket, the smoked buffalo wings, and banana pudding. The buffalo wings were the highlight. Great smokiness coming through the wings. Just a little bit of heat from the buffalo sauce. Highly recommend. Everything else was pretty good. The chicken was tender, and good crisp to the outside, and good seasoning. The catfish was pretty good too although they were pretty thin so didn't get quite as much of the crunch to tenderness contrast that I like in a catfish. Also, their tartar sauce is too sweet. I prefer more tang on the sauce. I think the sauces run sweet as I thought the champy sauce was a little too sweet over mustard-y. Good fries with great texture and seasoning. I also got the green bean sides which were a little soft but great, depth of flavor as it was clearly cooked with pork. The potato salad was good if not memorable. The kids loved the banana pudding. A little too much of the cream and not enough pudding but otherwise worth getting. All in all a strong chicken spot to visit while in Chattanooga.

Well I had just arrived in Chattanooga and had to kill time. So why not grab some lunch. I was…read morepassing by and saw Big Chicken. I was like hey thats the restaurant owned by Shaq. 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?

We tried a few beers from Five Wits and per her recommendation got the creamsicle shake as well. Solid beverage choices. The shake tasted part float part milkshake and it was absolutely delicious. Would order again. The food on the other hand was a bit eh. We ordered the Asian q burger and the mushroom melt burger and it took quite a while for them to come out and when they did they had unfortunately been left on the grill for way too long and were charred and crunchy. One set of our fries was cold and the bun to burger ratio was extremely off. Luckily, the staff agreed that our burgers were accidentally overcooked and they remade them no questions asked. The remade burgers were moist and better but still not fantastic. They were just burgers with minimal toppings on them. Not really seasoned and the flavor came from the toppings themselves. The buns were still too big for the burgers so there was a lot of extra bread and they have potential to be great but they were just average. Would have probably been a three star review but the staff and drink selection really earned the extra star. Would go back to drink and maybe snack but probably not order a burger.

This is the third location I have been to! The location is different menu items than the ones I've been to in california. The sweet potato pound cake is probably the best thing I have ever eaten. I also had one of their lattes and it was a phenomenal mix. I highly recommend stopping and enjoying this little spot.

Our waitress was incredibly slow for us. She took a while to give us our check, and forgot to bring me a root beer refill when she said she would.

Just don't expect to go anywhere anytime fast.

DEFINITELY NOT WORTH $45.00! Infact the only good thing…read moreabout our visit was the outside staff, who made me feel like it might be a decent place to eat. I have been here since 2013 & never stopped in. The inside waiter could not explain the menu, nor could he get my partners order right, even after sending it back to be remade. I can easily go another 13 years without returning. The food is substandard for the cost. It's a shame that something Cleveland claims as an ICON of the 50's, (perhaps the business was great back then) was such a disappointment. I'd rather get a cheeseburger out of a vending machine. $45 for 2 burgers, 2 fries and 2 drinks. Spend your money at McAllisters, you'll pay far less, for an edible meal. Zero Stars is too many. Train your inside staff better.

Fast forward to this afternoon, when I noticed that the "charred" chicken came out of a plastic ziplock bag that had been sitting in hot water for who knows how many days. The chicken was hard since it was over cooked or just old. They offer lots of sides, but unfortunately no sweet plantains which is what most ppl ask for, according to the worker. I was hoping for fresh chicken off the grill, but unfortunately all I got was a half stomach full of microplastics since it was hard to eat the hard pieces of chicken. $12 loss for me today vS hundreds of dollars I would have spent every year if they had fresh food. The only reason I gave it 2 stars was because the seasoning was still flavorful although the chicken was hard.
