Champy’s is a southern chain of “famous fried chicken” restaurants, which
started in Alabama in 2009. It currently has five locations: three in Alabama
and one in Tennessee and Georgia each. They serve different kinds of fried
chicken, catfish, frog legs (!), and “Delta tamales”. All come in singles and
plates with classic Southern sides.
I sample the offerings.
I get two wings ($5.50), which are battered with thick coating - whomever
thought that was a good idea should be banned from any kitchen. The chicken
tender ($2.75) is huge and has the same batter, but much more chicken. They are
fat but quite tasty. Unlike the chicken the fried catfish ($3.50) is lightly
battered, which is better (even if the tartar sauce is too dilly). The side of
fries ($2.99) is huge but disappointing; kind of thick BK fries, battered and
airy with little hint of potato.
VERDICT: 71/100
Overall quite poor,
but tenders of chicken and catfish are OK.
