    A friend and I went to Scottsboro for an overnight trip so we got here. It was about dinner time. I found Pappy's place on a yelp review. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was definitely your hole in the wall type place maybe they was five tables in there if that it was very small and quaint.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was right by the train track so you could hear the train when it came by.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was a little hot in there, but we pushed through[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] and I got the classic cheeseburger and french fries, which were delicious and my friend got the patty melt which was also delicious she said [[HIGHLIGHT]]The bathroom was a little small, probably needed an upgrade.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]When we walked in, looked like everyone turned around to see if they knew us.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This is definitely a place. I would stop at again and get dessert. Their desserts looked really good, but we were so full. We just couldn't have anything else. The owners were very sweet and kind of gave us some recommendations of places to go in the area.

    Chicken tenders, fried okra, ranch, and extremely oily fries

    3.5/5 -- very close to a 4 but just not quite there for me. I actually came here for a late lunch after working nearby on Valentine's Day. It's sort of downtown Scottsboro, sort of not; it's down a side street so not super visible as you're driving along. Parking, for me, was pretty challenging. There are only a couple spots in front of the restaurant itself, and it wasn't clear whether it was okay to park in front of the other businesses (no spots parked with paint) and there was a decent amount of glass / other debris on the ground nearby. So I made the block and parked in a public lot a few streets away and hoofed it over there. The interior part of the restaurant is quite small; I'd be surprised if more than 15-20 people could eat inside at a given time. They do seem to have a patio out back that I'm sure could accommodate more people. I'd probably have preferred to have eaten out there, but I didn't ask and it wasn't offered; instead, I got a two-seater booth in the back of the restaurant, which was fine. There was one other person eating and a few people came in and out for takeout, but it was mostly quiet. Service was pleasant and efficient. Just one girl doing all the work but she managed just fine both waiting tables and taking payments. She even brought me a glass of tea to go for the road. I ordered a chicken tender lunch, which came with two sides. I ordered fries and the vegetable of the day, but they were out of that. They were also out of cornbread, which was my second choice. So I went full-fried-Monty and got fried okra. My food came out in the appropriate amount of time (especially since it was cooked fresh). One of my tenders had a tear in it and the waitress explained it was because the chef wanted to be sure they were cooked completely. I appreciated that. The food was fine! The tenders were cooked nicely and were HUGE! The portions were quite generous and I was able to take some home. The batter had a sort of fish-fry batter flavor to it, which is fine but not my favorite on chicken. The okra was probably the best thing. Not over breaded, very crispy, still tender and green and snappy on the inside. I also enjoyed the clearly house made ranch. Perfect for tenders, fries, and even a piece of okra or two...hehe. The biggest let down was by far the fries. They were absolutely glittering with grease, and the grease never seemed to drain off them, either. They did somehow retain some crispness -- puzzling, given the sheer quantity of grease -- but every bite was extremely oily. It's unusual for me to not finish fries, but I didn't finish these. It sounds like from other reviews burgers and shakes are the thing to get here; I just wasn't feeling it that particular day. There's clearly great potential here so I'd be happy to return and give those a try some day.

    Delicious food, amazing family culture and AWESOME customer service!! I would Recommend this place to everyone!! If you are looking for a filling and delicious meal you have to come here!!!

    Small little spot with an outdoor seating area as well. The ladies were really nice. They have amazing milkshakes and desserts! I also ordered the fries with bbq pork on them. The bbq pork was sweet and very tender but way to smokey tasty for me.

    Banana Split

    So good! The spicy burger was great and the spicy ranch was also such a great sauce. The fries were hot and crispy and tasted great.

    Country fried steak, fried okra and macaroni and cheese.

    This was some of the best food I have ever had. Cooked fresh, so good. We started with the fried cheese curds. Large portion, and so good. The. I had the country fried steak, with Mac and cheese and fried okra. So so good. The gravy was to die for, the steak was tender with a crunchy fried outside, and again freshly made with large portions. My friend had the grilled chicken and she was very pleased as well.

    Homemade Roasted Banana Ice cream with homemade peanut butter sauce

    100/10 recommend. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great atmosphere and down to earth people.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Amazing food and service. Everything is made fresh, and ice cream is homemade. Dessert was the best I've ever had.

    Great food, great service. The cheese curds are awesome and they give you a huge basket. We also like the giant club sandwich.

    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.

    Heard a lot about Champys so we had to check it out. Love the ambiance, a renovated garage…read moreconverted into a Southern-style bar/casual eatery. A little kitchy sure but it fits. 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.
