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.

This Friday, they offered a lasagne, and while the pizza special looked exciting, at this point, you just trust the staff to give you the right input, and Fong was up to the task. I just had to try the lasagne....the grandkids were so inclined as well so we ended up eating three portions.....absolutely delicious. The beer selection is always good as they offer a rotating draft beer selections that will truly complement whatever food you choose that evening. While it's a small location, it's comfortable and fortunately with the quality of service, even on those evenings where it is incredibly busy, they turn the tables efficiently.

When we walked in, the smell of wings was competing with the smell of weed. Nearly 50/50: The workers were exceedingly nice to us and the food was hot so it seemed they had prepared it for the appropriate time rather than just making it and not caring. To be honest, it was one of the best Wingstop experiences we've had so the negatives don't really matter to me.

If you're looking for a place to shoot some pool and smoke indoors, this is the greatest value spot…read morein Chattanooga. There are other billiard clubs in Chattanooga, but this is by far the cheapest. Unlimited pool for $6 an hour is hard to complain about, and any other minor issues like a limited beer selections and "ok" food fade into the background with this in mind. I've seen some of the newer and younger servers struggle to keep up with the pace and atmosphere at times, so maybe some better training is in order there. However, the veteran servers are excellent and always make sure you're taken care of. All the reviews complaining of smoke didn't know what they were getting into as I've never been to a billiard's club that hasn't allowed smoking. This is not a "child" friendly establishment, nor should it be.

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.

Some restaurants dabble in the deep fryer. Champy's Famous Fried Chicken treats it like a…read morecompetitive sport. Walking in, the place feels like it somehow drifted inland from a beach town. Casual, colorful, the kind of spot where you expect someone to walk in wearing flip flops and carrying a fishing pole. Comfortable vibe. Easy place to settle in and see what the fryer can do. First up were the fried green tomatoes. They came out looking like they'd just won a beauty pageant. Crispy outside, tender inside, cooked exactly right. Texture nailed. But flavor-wise they felt like they forgot their gym bag at home. Needed salt. Needed a little personality. A rare moment where the fryer did its job but the seasoning clocked out early. Then the headliner arrived. The fried chicken at Champy's Famous Fried Chicken has a reputation to protect, and thankfully it shows up ready to work. Crisp, flavorful crust. Juicy inside. The kind of chicken that crunches just enough to make everyone at the table look over and get jealous. "If the deep fryer had a Hall of Fame, Champy's chicken is getting a first-ballot vote." And then came the move that sealed the deal. A dip into Champy sauce. Suddenly the flavor level jumped another notch. Salty, tangy, just enough punch to make the crust shine even more. The sleeper hit though? The cole slaw. Creamy, balanced, and actually refreshing next to all the fried goodness. It's the quiet kid in class who ends up acing the exam. Easy to overlook, but absolutely worth ordering. Now for the tiny curveball. I happened to land there on karaoke night. And let's just say... the speakers believed they were performing at an arena concert. Loud enough that conversation required leaning halfway across the table and reading lips. On the flip side, the crowd was clearly having a blast. A few genuinely good singers, a few that were more... enthusiastic than talented, and plenty of people cheering them on. Honestly, respect to anyone with the courage to grab a microphone in a room full of strangers. So no star deductions for that. The people who showed up to sing were having the time of their lives. Bottom line, Champy's Famous Fried Chicken is a fun place with seriously good fried chicken. Order the bird, grab the slaw, lean into the fried side of the menu, and enjoy the show if karaoke happens to be on the schedule. Just maybe bring your singing voice... or your earplugs.
