Absolutely phenomenal barbeque! The meats and sides were cooked to perfection and the homemade sauce is like no other. I got the sausage plate with green beans and mac and cheese and I can't recommend it highly enough! Do yourself a favor and stop by Champs Barbeque and grab some amazing food!

Champs absolutely felt like home! The food was so good and they are QUICK! I knew it was going to be good the moment I walked in the door and my mouth started watering.

Today (2/1/25) was my 1st time visiting Champs. The very moment I walked thru the front door, I got that true bbq/smoke scent. I knew right then this was a unique and true bbq restaurant!! We ordered and had our food in less than 15 mins!! Chopped pork was perfect! Fries were good. Mac n Cheese was probably the best I've ever had!! And i also got a bacon cheeseburger, that was absolutely phenomenal!! Tea was just right to satisfy the palate, along with their savory, flavorful bbq sauce. We have 2 decent bbq restaurants within 30 mins of our house, but I told my wife that I would gladly drive the 1 1/2 hr trip back to Champs ANYTIME!! The atmosphere felt like home and very comforting. The lady behind the counter was very friendly and the guys cooking definitely knew what they were doing!! We will DEFINITELY return MANY MANY times!! **chef's kiss!!**

This is what an independent bbq joint is supposed to be. Minimal menu, great value, impeccable food. Owner usually on premises. It's busy, in fundamentally nowhere. Go. Nice dining area,self serve drink stand.

I’ve been here for lunch a few times on the weekend and been meaning to post a review but forgot about it. This quaint little restaurant may look like a basic cinder block building on the outside but once you step in, you are greeted by friendly “hellos” and “welcomes”. This family owned business is obviously rooted in religious faith and appreciative of what they have been blessed with as the walls of the restaurant are covered with many religious artifacts and verses. The menu is relatively small, yet with plenty of options for everyone. I typically go with the barbecue pork sandwich with the sauce on the side and onion rings, both of which are delicious. The pork is tender and the sandwiches are packed full of meat. I generally get my sauce on the side so the taste of the smoked pork is not overwhelmed by too much sauce. My mom went with the cheeseburger on our last visit and said it was tasty as well. I consider this the best barbecue in Wetumpka and plan to make many return visits. Try them out and you won’t be disappointed!

Champs is great! My family has enjoyed them for years - outstanding BBQ and burgers, and very friendly service. Stop by for a bite if you’re anywhere in the vicinity of Wetumpka or in Elmore County!
