I’m a big fan of Champy’s chicken and tamales. They’re such favorites, I wasn’t sure I wanted to try anything else on the menu. But I’m glad I gave the catfish my attention on my last visit.
It proves that this charming little restaurant gets about as close to the Delta as any restaurant in Chattanooga from the minute you walk in the door.
THE MENU
Champy’s has a simple menu that I find intriguing. It’s just one page of entrees, with sides, beer and other beverages listed on the back. In a time when some menus are several pages long, this one, kept to a minimum, tells me one thing: Stick to what you know.
Rest assured, owners Seth and Crissy Champion know how to make fried chicken, tamales, catfish, Key lime pie and some of the best fried green tomatoes this side of the Mississippi.
