“Everything at this restaurant is AMAZING!!!! I have not one bad thing to say about it. come hungry, you get ALOT of food. The Pig candy bacon bites are ridiculous in the BEST way possible. You won't be sorry.”
“The best restaurant experience we have had in years. I just cannot say enough great things about the food, the service ( the team work was incredible) and the zero proof menu blew me away.. I’m a retired drinker and it just made my whole day having fun and artfully crafted drinks to choose from. From one restaurant family to another we wish you all the most success. Lang ( don’t hate me if I’m getting it wrong, it’s been a couple days) was spectacular. So kind, so knowledgeable! Also, the bartender was crushing it..making the beverages, and helping their team by running them out. I’m rambling now but kudos to yall! Cheers to many more years!”
“I loved the place and environment. We haven’t had the luxury of dining in yet but had heard about it from some friends. This led us to stopping in and buying some of the meat they had to offer. The friendly staff talked with me my wife and even my four year old as if we were long time friends. After buying some of the dry aged tomahawks and wagyu strips at amazing prices we quickly decided we would be back soon to dine in! I am looking forward to it! My main reasoning for this recommendation thus far was the super friendly staff. Thank you!”
“an absolute treasure! everything about old man rivers is charming and perfect. the food was incredible, the atmosphere and service warm and welcoming. my sole hesitation in recommending it unreservedly comes from selfishly wanting to keep it hidden from the world at large so i can always get in.”
“We made a reservation and were given a nice private table by friendly staff. I noticed the wall next to our table even had USB ports to charge your phone! We decided to try the cocktails and were happy to find they were expertly crafted and delicious! My husband had a bourbon - The Frazier Fashioned. I had a drink called Fear and Loathing which was just the right amount of tartness plus a slightly smoky flavor from the salt on the rim. Main course was NOLA poboy for me and husband got the Chilean salmon with grilled caesar romaine lettuce. Poboy shrimp was just right spicy and smoky with the bonus of a buttermilk biscuit in the broth. The salmon was perfectly seasoned and cooked just right- moist, flaky and yummy. Dessert was coconut lime tres leches prepared by their trained pastry chef. We loved the tangy creaminess of this dessert! We will be back!”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“My wife and i come here every so often. Every experience has been enjoyable. The beers are always crisp and fresh. We haven't had a bad experience and will continue to come back. Clint (the owner/brewer ) will help you find a beer you will enjoy.”
“I CANNOT recommend this place enough! We ate here for our honeymoon, and the staff was top tier! Joci was an absolute peach, as well as Jackie. We also loved Oscar and Misael. The food was incredible. The servers were steadily at our table bringing more meats as they came off the grill. Super fresh. The salad bar and hot bar was above what we even expected! Overall the best experience. Thank you Rodizio!!”
“We just celebrated our anniversary here and we were absolutely blown away. The atmosphere was so cool and cozy. The service was excellent from start to finish… from the man that seated us to Maddie, our server who was very attentive and friendly! The food was phenomenal! So fresh and full of flavor! Very unique and nourishing. We started with whipped feta & pita. So flavorful! Then we had the lamb neck which was out of our comfort zone but I’m so glad we got it because it was amazing! Then we had the beef short ribs and a spicy potato dish. We finished off the night with the special crème brûlée infused with dates and Turkish coffee plus the olive oil cake. The drinks were very fresh and unique as well. I couldn’t recommend this place more. The chef and owner should be very proud!”

“Food & drinks were off the charts amazing! Glad to have tasty gluten-free options here in town. We started with the pimento cheese & GF toast, and split the RC burger & broken potatoes for our entree. The portion of potatoes was very generous, and could easily be split between 2-3 people. Staff was friendly & attentive, even on a busy Saturday night. We ate inside for our date night, but the outdoor seating is perfect for mild weather. Highly recommend making a reservation at least a couple days in advance. Will definitely be back!”
“We have been visiting Blugrass Grill for years every time we go to Chattanooga (from Atlanta) for good reason. We visited again this morning on our way back to Atlanta and it was amazing as always. The service is top notch, the food is amazing, it’s a perfect breakfast spot, and the coffee is awesome.”

“First time in at Puckett's Chattanooga, we had excellent service by Wyatt! Ask for his area if you choose to eat here. Food was delicious, you definitely need to try the bbq platter! We went on Friday night and they had live band, was a great place to eat and hang out!”
“Staff was very friendly and helpful! Food had such great flavor and variety! We were able to easily customize our orders on the self-serve tablets and enjoyed everything we got ! Would definitely recommend.”
“Food. Service. Atmosphere. All 5 big stars! Traveling and found this gem. So very welcomed by warm staff and very comfortable, chic and comfy vibe. Had one of the best Cobb salads of my life. All the food that came out looked and smelled incredible. I’m obsessed with the bar and the stools - could have hung out for hours. Can’t rave enough about the staff, wow, what a crew! This is how a business should be run. Thank you, Public House!”
“Amazing! Where do I even begin! The atmosphere reminiscent of a steak house I loved called Starks in Northern California. You smell the smokey wood fire smell with none of the downside. Air is clear and fresh. Kitchen is visible from most the restaraunt. Server Robbie was truly a server. He gave great suggestions and was very attentive. On his suggestion I tried the whipped feta appetizer which came with fresh made pita. I love feta but this was a whole new level with honey in the center. My husband ordered buttermilk fried chicken. It was tender and juicy on inside and nice crispy on the outside. Entrees are A la carte. I ordered the charred gem lettuce and wood oven roasted fingerling sweet potatoes. Hubbie shared all my sides and tried some of his chicken. Perfect meal! Then we ordered dessert. Because really that's why we came. My coworker raved about their tres leches cake. And it was topped with fresh whipped cream not from a can.hand whipped. Yummy. We will be back. So satisfied. Definitely fine dining but not snobby and dress as you like.”

“We do not get to Chattanooga very often, but when we do, we will usually spend one night at least and every time we go we always go to this restaurant. The service is phenomenal. The food is phenomenal. The atmosphere is very cozy. It’s just a well run. very very good food restaurant.”
“A foodie’s favorite! Amazing food & drinks…myst try the beef tartar, the fall salad & an old fashioned. The brisket & filet are incredible and end the night with the Millionaire’s Coffee. We love this place-it’s our Go-To for fine dining!❤️”
“To be completely honest, went into the night with average expectations. I was afraid it would be awkward. Oh, was I wrong… the staff and the actors made everyone feel so comfortable! It was corny but in a way that everyone felt like they could be involved. The clues were difficult and had me stumped, but it all made sense once they told us at the end. 10 out of 10 would recommend. The host and the actors were phenomenal!!! It was better than any movie I have ever attended. If you want a great night, go to the detective dinner!”
“I've been a few times. The food was absolutely great one time, and one of us ordered the same dish the next time and it was mediocre. I haven't been enough times to say that the restaurant is inconsistent. I would like to lean on the great side. Bar is fine. Really good craft cocktails. I enjoyed that also. Atmosphere is also pretty cool.”
“First time here. I had the Baja Omelet with a side of tater tots. The omelet was an explosion of great flavor! The tater tots tasted kind of like a mix of hash browns and hush puppies and were also delicious! Service was friendly. The atmosphere is comfortable with nice decor. They allow you to bring your dog in to go to the patio if you like to bring your pup along when you eat out. Free parking was a definite plus for eating here!!!”
“I had high expectations and they were meet. The burger was seasoned well, the tater tots were hot and crispy. The service was friendly. Definitely a place to check out if you’re into good burgers.”
“We stayed at Read House & Bridgemans Chophouse is located inside! We had ribeyes, macaroni & cheese & the Brussel sprouts! And all I have to say this chefs food is absolutely delicious! Best steak ever! And the sides delicious I recommend both of these! Also we sat at the bar and Allen was an excellent waiter and bar tender he made us feel very comfortable in a beautiful setting! Just want to say extra special thanks to Allen he new the menu well & the items we chose were items he told us were very delicious & they were! And crème brûlée was awesome was the cherry to top the evening ❤️”
“Dallas was a fantastic server/bartender! She has a great personality and is very attentive. As for the food, it was good but not hot. I realize Dallas could have fixed, but I didn’t ask her to. We come here quite often.”
“This place was like a hidden speak easy. The service was top notch on point and suggestions with friendliness were graciously provided. Thank you for making our visit memorable”
“Excellent service and very good food. I'm fairly new to Chattanooga and had heard about FEED. I've been looking forward to going for a while. I absolutely was not disappointed. Everything was great.”
“Good evening, a very good experience, the waiter Gilberto, very attentive, helpful and friendly, the people who serve the meats to the table, very polite, attentive and helpful, I recommend the place, we are from Colombia and we loved it.”
“The food and service here were good not great. I had a good meal and the drinks were good but I was expecting more. I felt that with the excellent atmosphere that the food would have been better.”
“I have always loved this place but last night (Friday 3/22/24) was above and beyond. Kelsey was our server and she was GREAT! She was so friendly and has a wonderfully inviting energy. What did it for me though was when I told her I have a gluten allergy she immediately educated me on the risk of cross contamination with their tortilla chips since they are house fried. She brought me out the most beautiful bowl of freshly chopped vegetables to eat with their fantastic guacamole. I’m so impressed with her and hope the owners know they have a gem!”
“OMG! I can’t say enough. Was in town for a golf outing and we decided to try this place out. Sat at the bar where we watched bartenders Hunter and Will make one amazing drink after the other. Will gave us tips on what to order. In his recommendation I got the Costillas En Salsa Verde - yum! One friend got the Hangar steak, one got the Ropa Veja, and one got the shrimp Mac and Cheese. Everyone loved their food. Highly recommend!”
“Hello Monty has good food. It is not family friendly, however. We went here to eat for my first Mother’s Day and none of the multiple restrooms had a changing table. We asked management to confirm to make sure we hadn’t overlooked one. We had to walk down the street to our car to change the baby during the middle of our meal. Please add changing tables to your restrooms. It’s very frustrating to be in the middle of a good meal and then have to walk down the street to change your baby’s diaper.”

“The ladies at this location were so friendly. The food was perfect. Also, there was no drama going on in this store, like there is in a lot of Waffle House locations.”
“Service was great, we walked in at 9:00pm and they welcomed us with open arms. This was the cleanest, friendliest, and emptiest Waffle House I’ve been in. The staff were all wonderful, and were the definition of great service. None of our orders were wrong, and they really put their hearts into serving our table. They even played music for us and we sang and danced, as there were no other customers. They even gave us Waffle House hats!!! 100/10 would go here again. Thank you Waffle House.Vegetarian options: PotatoDietary restrictions: Very diverse menuKid-friendliness: Definitely will come back with my kids!! Such a friendly staff!Wheelchair accessibility: Very accessible!”
“Great classic breakfast diner. Just a few people run the whole place so go with plenty of patience and you will be rewarded with a lot of good breakfast food at a great price!”
“I recently visited Waffle House with my kids and had an outstanding experience thanks to our waiter, Tim. His kindness and attentiveness made our meal truly enjoyable. Tim went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. The food was delicious, but Tim's exceptional service truly made our visit memorable. We will definitely return! Highly recommended!”
“Always amazing service and the food taste great. They sometimes get busy but they always are fast with service and professional. Josie @hwy58 location is the best! Love going here.”
“It was an ok place to grab a quick bite but the waitress had to call for the cook more than once. I understand that she may have been tired up I did have to wait a while for a refill and we were only 1 of 2 tables eating.”
“We got married on April 3rd and we had 500 Krystal's and 100 wings delivered to the Coffey barn in Cleveland. I was a little nervous about if they would be warm and fresh since they were coming from Chattanooga. But I worried for nothing. They were there on time, they were professional, they set up in a timely manner and displayed them perfectly. And they were still warm and very fresh. Thank you for helping to make our day perfect. I recommend them highly for any occasion”
“Love a welcoming and caring face when dining in. We all know how stressful a job here could be so to find a friendly waitress is soo wonderful. Thanks for the service”
“I think this location may have closed temporarily but is open again. These were the best hasbrowns I have had in maybe 8 years. The cook, Anthony, cooked perfectly. I like WH chains but normally I accept that my hashbrowns won't be perfect because either the waiter doesn't call it in correctly or the cook is too busy or lacks experience yet perhaps. Not the case here!Stars:1 - terrible (rarely given)2 - below average3 - good, at or above average4 - excellent5 - favorite (rarely given)”
“It's Waffle House, what needs to be said. Cleanest, probably not. Healthy, nope. Best after midnight, absolutely. Listen, it's consistently decent food.”
“They were very helpful with feeding part of 3 buses on our way home from Disney vacation. We had a roadside emergency early in the evening and threw our schedule way off. They took it all with a smile and laughed with us. GREAT JOB KRYSTAL for hiring helpful and caring people.”
“One of the coolest restaurants in Chattanooga. Ramen is the way to go. Tempura Shishito peppers to start, sorry no pic. Add sake, cold beers & you're in for a treat!”
“We do not get to Chattanooga very often, but when we do, we will usually spend one night at least and every time we go we always go to this restaurant. The service is phenomenal. The food is phenomenal. The atmosphere is very cozy. It’s just a well run. very very good food restaurant.”
“Pleasant indoor setting, the terrace with its curtains gives a beautiful cozy atmosphere.Good food, variety and originality of dishes ??It’s a bit of a change for us during our road trip in the USA!We recommend”

“Regardless of what these ladies are wearing, they are the best at what they do. Miss Katie behind the bar saw that my order was wrong and even though I wasn't planning on sending it back, she still had a whole new order sent out in less than 5 minutes. Sit at the bar, and these ladies WILL see that you are taken care of, period. The outfits are really just a bonus. Highly recommend!”
“Just do it. Go and enjoy. Whether for coffee and a pastry or a breakfast skillet. This place is exceptional. Friendly staff, great food well presented and a really nice patio. Can't recommend this place enough. We travel up from Atlanta just for breakfast and it's worth every mile.”
“We enjoyed the BBQ nachos with pork and the atmosphere. It was very busy but still had plenty of seating. The parking was small and full compared to the capacity of the restaurant and surrounding businesses.”
“My 1st time giving any one business a 15 STAR rating. If you like fresh seafood, this place is a must go to!!!!!!1. Made to order Guacamole. She likes it chunky and fresh.2. Off the special of the day menu, I had to have the Soft Shell Blue Crab PoBoy. It was one of the best I had ever had in my life!!!3. Wood Grilled Squid. I LOVE LOVE SQUID... When it is done, correct! This dish hit the mark spot on PERFECT!!!!4. She had Crispy Fish Tacos and she loved the dish for all its freshness.5. I can not say enough about the FRESHNESS across the board on everything we had...6. From the atmosphere to the service, The Boathouse knows how to make a meal enjoyable. Something most others have lost since before the Covid collapse. My hat is off to all you that made this the best dining experience many years.7. I have to ask of one thing of management, please share this review with your staff.Thank you all...”
“We stopped in for lunch. Becca was our waitress and she was kind, attentive, and so pleasant to have for our lunch dining experience! The food was amazing as well! Came out quickly and hotttt!!! Great experience all the way around! Will be back for sure!!!”
“Awesome pizza and delicious calzones, friendly people. Simple strip mall location with nice New York-oriented decor. Walk-up-and-order counter, or order from the table with your phone. Wish they served beer, but then it wouldn't be as simple, I guess.”
“Excellent service. The food was surprisingly tasteful and delicious. Will be back with no hesitation. It is definitely the place to look for, at the Hamilton Place Mall food court.”
“Went in for my birthday freebie cookie, but you can't just get one. The best part is having the cookies served warm. Oh it took every bit of energy not to devour the yummy Peanut Butter Munch before I got back to my auto ?”
“The food was delicious. I ordered the South American bandeja, chips and queso(which came with a delicious chimichurri sauce), and the mango juice. Everything was really good and I would recommend this place. I'm definitely coming back to try more items. It's a small low key type of place but the workers were nice and you can still sit down and be served.”
“My friends and I were spending a day in Chatt for Easter. We're pretty picky when it comes to Asian food, so we weren't expecting much from the food in Chatt. We were so shocked on how good Han Mi was. The menu options are hard to find in Nashville so their menu dish selection was good. The food was so good, better than our go to spots in Nashville. The portion sizes were huge too and their prices are veryyy reasonable and cheaper compared to others. If you guys ever have a spot open in Nashville, my friends and I would come to you guys all the time.”
“My daughter loves BBQ and while on spring break this past weekend. I decided to surprise her with BBQ after a long day at several attractions. Every single thing we ordered was incredible. Ribs well seasoned and tender, macaroni appropriate amount of cheesy goodness, potato salad light and refreshing and baked beans were sweet with a touch of smokiness. My 10 year old loved what the restaurant represents as well. (Staff was friendly and helpful)We will be back very soon!!!”
“We went to the MLK Uncle Larry's location. Our server was very personable. He asked all of the right questions and gave all the right answers. We were a large group, and being"made to order" is worth a bit of wait. Not much at all though. The food was very good, reasonably priced, and we will go back. He was right when he said, "We won't disappoint."”
“My husband and I LOVE this place! The food is fantastic and the people are always so welcoming and kind to us when we come. They have always made us feel like family. We highly recommend this place to anybody wanting excellent Latino cuisine and the best sushi!”
“I was so pleased to find this gem after our day walking around town. They have dairy-free options so all of our party could eat here since one of us can't have milk or cheese. The food was terrific. The service was friendly and very understanding as we figured out our orders.Vegetarian options: Daiya cheese and oat milk ice cream”
“With your 1st step in the door you know you're in an authentic deli. I just love that smell of bread and meats that tell you how much you are going to love lunch. And if the aroma was not enough Bruce will described to you his specials for the day and some of his favorite recipes. Some are from a family tradition and others are from secret sources that he has made. If you're not sure about what you want ask for a taste! I got a seafood salad that was to-die-for. Oh my goodness, made the old fashion way with baby shrimp, yum! I also had their special sandwich of the day. Fresh ciabatta bread with Italian prosciutto, capicola, and other cold cuts. It was delicious and I couldn't finish it! During a slow moment of our time there Bruce came over to invite us back for breakfast to try their imported NY bagels and cream cheese or house smoked salmon. If you are in the area you should give them a try!”

“Their Columbian medium light roast is honestly the best coffee I've ever made in my espresso machine. With hints of cherry, it's the most delightful tasting coffee I've ever made for myself at home.”
“Oaks Coffee House event space was absolutely amazing!!! Tiffany and the rest of the staff at Oaks face wonderful customer service, very helpful in proving vendors for the balloons (Amber Baker)! Thank you you for the experience!!! We totally enjoyed and are looking foretold our next event!!!”
“This has become my go to morning coffee spot! The baristas are always so welcoming and very quick to get my coffee and bagel to me. My son prefers their bagels and smoothies, while I can't resist their ice coffee and lattes. Recommendations: Golden Owl when you want a sweeter start (iced all the way) Dosta Double when you need that "extra" caffeine (iced) Toffee Nut Latte for a hug in cup Croissammie when you're hungry (sooo good!) My 6 year old recommends: Everything bagel with cream cheese Blueberry muffin Strawberry banana smoothie Hot cocoa”
“Champy's was recommended to us by a local, and we are so glad we listened! First, the parking is free. That's a big plus. When we exited the car, the incredible smell hit us, and that's when we knew we were in for an excellent meal. There are three dining areas to choose from: one is a three-season covered area, the next is a large bar area, the third is a smaller bar area. In the two bar areas, there are dollar bills decorating the walls. There are old pictures and artifacts. Service was fast. Sweet tea was spot on. The sausage/cheese/pickle appetizer could have been a meal for one person. I had the fried catfish platter, and it was perfect. My husband had the chicken nugget platter, and he thought the chicken was amazing. Our travel companions had the 3-piece white chicken platters, and they were extremely happy. We all left full and super glad we stopped in.”
“Absolute staple of the East Brainerd area for several years and hopefully many more to come! Love the grilled chicken salads and the burgers! A must try restaurant!”
“BeCaffeinated is one of my favorite coffee shops in Chattanooga. I have always had the most pleasant and welcoming experiences at any of their locations (I have been to each one.. multiple times). As much as I love their coffee and enjoying the outdoor seating at the Northshore location, what I love most about BeCaff. is their involvement with the community. Each month the shop hosts giveback days, which I think is totally incredible. Not only that, they offer their space to be used by other community partners and are always involved in something within the community. I know some argue that local coffee shops charge too much, but I will stand by my decisions to support BeCaff because it is evident they are investing in the community, not just a chain trying to make a profit. BeCaffeinated feels like something larger than a local coffee shop, they truly are an incredible member of the community! You guys are one of the things that makes me love Chattanooga!Also, I love that I can bring my dog and hang out on the patio, or pick up a coffee before we walk around the park.”
“I have been here several consistent times and it’s always better than the last,each employee is super sweet and well organized. They always make my order correctly and always recommend something similar if they’re out of the stuff to make my usual, couldn’t ask for a better coffee shop.”
“Hi Choo Choo management and staff……. I’m from Massachusetts and today I had my first Tennessee barbecue from your establishment…….I don’t need to try barbecue anywhere else in Tennessee….. I had the pork ribs…… it was absolutely amazing……if I die today I die a happy man…….thank you for your expertise…… keep up the good work……. Simply amazing……..please share with your staff”
“My husband and I walked down to Local Coffee this morning with our 2 year old grandson. We were delighted with the whole experience. It is a welcoming and comfortable space. They have tons of food and beverage offerings. We enjoyed their dark brew coffee (with free refills) and were glad they offer real mugs, almond and oat milk options as well as stevia. Not all coffee shops have all of this. They also have books and games available to enhance the welcome and hang out space. Yes, a church meets here, but, they don’t seem to have any agenda, besides running an excellent coffee shop/neighborhood hangout spot. Spread the word and drop in for breakfast/ lunch or an anytime coffee and treat!”
“My family has been to Santi's several times and it's become a family favorite for Mexican in the area. The birria plate is really nice for a change of pace (the birria tacos are also good). The kids meal seemed expensive at first but it comes with a drink and a lovely desert. The fajitas were also really solid - crispy meat, good seasoning. Our servers are always friendly and prompt. The restaurant seems to be leaning a little harder into the restaurant vibe over the sports bar vibe, which is fine by us. Definitely recommend Santi's.”
“Great atmosphere but be ready to stay 2+ hours and finish off the evening dancing and breaking plates. Safety tip, closed toed shoes, long pants and sleeves, and safety googles should be required. You will need them when the plates start flying. Also, you do not need to slam plates on floor with all your might to get them to break.”
“We absolutely recommend THIS BRUSTERS’S in East Brainerd. The staff is Fantastic!! They didn’t have my most on Wednesday. This precious lady said, don’t worry Honey, I will fix you up. They absolutely are 10 out 10 in flavor, customer service, cleanliness and personality!! We drive from Chickamauga to get our Bruster’s fix and buy pints to take home.”
“OK BBQ friends! What a find! From the cheese cornbread muffins when you are seated to the fall off the (any) bone meats, sides and service/ this is a GEM and a must visit. If you’re lucky enough to get Caressa (usually at the bar)- she’s the best service provider I’ve ever had and I’ve had a lot! If only I lived here- THIS would be my new go-to!”
“I've been a few times. The food was absolutely great one time, and one of us ordered the same dish the next time and it was mediocre. I haven't been enough times to say that the restaurant is inconsistent. I would like to lean on the great side. Bar is fine. Really good craft cocktails. I enjoyed that also. Atmosphere is also pretty cool.”
“First time here. I had the Baja Omelet with a side of tater tots. The omelet was an explosion of great flavor! The tater tots tasted kind of like a mix of hash browns and hush puppies and were also delicious! Service was friendly. The atmosphere is comfortable with nice decor. They allow you to bring your dog in to go to the patio if you like to bring your pup along when you eat out. Free parking was a definite plus for eating here!!!”
“We stopped in for lunch. Becca was our waitress and she was kind, attentive, and so pleasant to have for our lunch dining experience! The food was amazing as well! Came out quickly and hotttt!!! Great experience all the way around! Will be back for sure!!!”

“My wife and i come here every so often. Every experience has been enjoyable. The beers are always crisp and fresh. We haven't had a bad experience and will continue to come back. Clint (the owner/brewer ) will help you find a beer you will enjoy.”
“Absolutely best taco truck hands down for any meal! Breakfast even! try the steak burrito for breakfast, a couple street tacos for lunch and a steak torta for dinner! Can't say enough!”
“My wife and I got an order here when we stayed at the adjoining motel this past week. I got an Italian omelet with home fries, which was perfect in flavor (my wife tasted the omelet and agreed), and was large enough for a second meal. She absolutely loves the biscuits. Also, the service was fantastic. First time we ate there, but not the last. It's worth driving from Indianapolis to enjoy. Note - if you stay at the adjoining Best Western Heritage Inn, you get a 10% discount. Thank you for your service.”
“This place is definitely a vibe. Very grungey atmosphere, and a good service team.The Thai chili dog is insane, the curry is good (and I'm not even a fan of curry), and the burger is one of the best I've ever had in my life. Fried rice is impeccable as well. Can't recommend more”
“Impressive burger lineup...with attention to every aspect of burger perfection! I was a bit skeptical at first...but the fact it was last year winner eased my doubts! Surprisingly really good burger...the subtle crunch from the wontons and the understated flavor of the chili oil tie it all together! trust the process!”
“wow holy cow wow wow woweven as a meat eater, i am a fan of all things ruben, so when i saw they had a plant-based version with seitain, i gave it a shot. on first bite i was in love. most things i eat get heaped with hot sauce, but this sando was so flavorful and juicy. i cant wait to take my mom here when she visits as she is vegan.”
“My food was delicious beyond my expectations,I came to this locations and got the trifecta breakfast with the waffle! I also got four pieces of bacon,side of cheese grits,Shrimp and grits and Tropical sunrise… which with the waffle and cheese grits was the star of the show.I also got a chicken sausage which I will say you guys may have to go back in the lab with that one or get tradition sausage patties also…Additionally the Uber eats ordering thing needs a option to add cheese to the eggs!”
“I had family from out of town and they wanted to give this place a go. Everyone was literally over the moon with their burnt end potatoes. I had the mushroom burger and all I can say is WOW! I was skeptical at first of a mushroom burger but by the end I wished I had bought two!! I also had a salad and it was as delicious as it was beautiful. You can’t go wrong with a meal from here. The GM, Marcus knows his stuff in the kitchen and it reflects in the flavor. They have an amazing team working hard and doing great things!”
“This place is a true gem! The chopped beef plate and the spare ribs are soooooo good. Their home made honey mustard slaps! ?? service was excellent. Will definitely be back. A must when visiting chatanooga!”
“I prefer independent coffee shops, but to be honest, not all make the greatest coffee. I was pleasantly surprised when my group tried PP on a recent trip. We ordered 4 drinks and all were perfect! Rich, full bodied coffee with no burnt taste! The service was friendly, as well. A must try!”
“Ryan James or Bryan James was amazing! Sorry I forget your name already but I know you’re the third! Strong island was amazing and the pizza was perfect! I’ll definitely remember this place next visit.”
“Very economical prices for a great breakfast. You could tell this was a restaurant for locals but you felt like you were a local when you walked through the door. Our server Sherry(not sure of spelling) was unbelievable.She was super accommodating and made you feel like she'd known forever”
“Most unique location and best established restaurant/bar in the Chattanooga area. Owner Charlie is top notch with running this restaurant hands on with attention to handcrafted food menu and shaking your hand to ensure your visit is complete with locals and visitors alike. Highly recommended always!”
“So excited to see another location open up so close to me! This place is on point from the delicious drinks to the awesome service! Not to mention how cool it looks! 10 stars for Sleepyhead!”
“Awesome pizza and delicious calzones, friendly people. Simple strip mall location with nice New York-oriented decor. Walk-up-and-order counter, or order from the table with your phone. Wish they served beer, but then it wouldn't be as simple, I guess.”
“I had high expectations and they were meet. The burger was seasoned well, the tater tots were hot and crispy. The service was friendly. Definitely a place to check out if you’re into good burgers.”
“Excellent service. The food was surprisingly tasteful and delicious. Will be back with no hesitation. It is definitely the place to look for, at the Hamilton Place Mall food court.”
“Dallas was a fantastic server/bartender! She has a great personality and is very attentive. As for the food, it was good but not hot. I realize Dallas could have fixed, but I didn’t ask her to. We come here quite often.”
“The food was delicious. I ordered the South American bandeja, chips and queso(which came with a delicious chimichurri sauce), and the mango juice. Everything was really good and I would recommend this place. I'm definitely coming back to try more items. It's a small low key type of place but the workers were nice and you can still sit down and be served.”
“Amazing! Where do I even begin! The atmosphere reminiscent of a steak house I loved called Starks in Northern California. You smell the smokey wood fire smell with none of the downside. Air is clear and fresh. Kitchen is visible from most the restaraunt. Server Robbie was truly a server. He gave great suggestions and was very attentive. On his suggestion I tried the whipped feta appetizer which came with fresh made pita. I love feta but this was a whole new level with honey in the center. My husband ordered buttermilk fried chicken. It was tender and juicy on inside and nice crispy on the outside. Entrees are A la carte. I ordered the charred gem lettuce and wood oven roasted fingerling sweet potatoes. Hubbie shared all my sides and tried some of his chicken. Perfect meal! Then we ordered dessert. Because really that's why we came. My coworker raved about their tres leches cake. And it was topped with fresh whipped cream not from a can.hand whipped. Yummy. We will be back. So satisfied. Definitely fine dining but not snobby and dress as you like.”
“My friends and I were spending a day in Chatt for Easter. We're pretty picky when it comes to Asian food, so we weren't expecting much from the food in Chatt. We were so shocked on how good Han Mi was. The menu options are hard to find in Nashville so their menu dish selection was good. The food was so good, better than our go to spots in Nashville. The portion sizes were huge too and their prices are veryyy reasonable and cheaper compared to others. If you guys ever have a spot open in Nashville, my friends and I would come to you guys all the time.”
“My daughter loves BBQ and while on spring break this past weekend. I decided to surprise her with BBQ after a long day at several attractions. Every single thing we ordered was incredible. Ribs well seasoned and tender, macaroni appropriate amount of cheesy goodness, potato salad light and refreshing and baked beans were sweet with a touch of smokiness. My 10 year old loved what the restaurant represents as well. (Staff was friendly and helpful)We will be back very soon!!!”
“We went to the MLK Uncle Larry's location. Our server was very personable. He asked all of the right questions and gave all the right answers. We were a large group, and being"made to order" is worth a bit of wait. Not much at all though. The food was very good, reasonably priced, and we will go back. He was right when he said, "We won't disappoint."”
“My husband and I LOVE this place! The food is fantastic and the people are always so welcoming and kind to us when we come. They have always made us feel like family. We highly recommend this place to anybody wanting excellent Latino cuisine and the best sushi!”
“A foodie’s favorite! Amazing food & drinks…myst try the beef tartar, the fall salad & an old fashioned. The brisket & filet are incredible and end the night with the Millionaire’s Coffee. We love this place-it’s our Go-To for fine dining!❤️”
“Absolutely best taco truck hands down for any meal! Breakfast even! try the steak burrito for breakfast, a couple street tacos for lunch and a steak torta for dinner! Can't say enough!”
“This place was like a hidden speak easy. The service was top notch on point and suggestions with friendliness were graciously provided. Thank you for making our visit memorable”
“I was so pleased to find this gem after our day walking around town. They have dairy-free options so all of our party could eat here since one of us can't have milk or cheese. The food was terrific. The service was friendly and very understanding as we figured out our orders.Vegetarian options: Daiya cheese and oat milk ice cream”
“With your 1st step in the door you know you're in an authentic deli. I just love that smell of bread and meats that tell you how much you are going to love lunch. And if the aroma was not enough Bruce will described to you his specials for the day and some of his favorite recipes. Some are from a family tradition and others are from secret sources that he has made. If you're not sure about what you want ask for a taste! I got a seafood salad that was to-die-for. Oh my goodness, made the old fashion way with baby shrimp, yum! I also had their special sandwich of the day. Fresh ciabatta bread with Italian prosciutto, capicola, and other cold cuts. It was delicious and I couldn't finish it! During a slow moment of our time there Bruce came over to invite us back for breakfast to try their imported NY bagels and cream cheese or house smoked salmon. If you are in the area you should give them a try!”
“Excellent service and very good food. I'm fairly new to Chattanooga and had heard about FEED. I've been looking forward to going for a while. I absolutely was not disappointed. Everything was great.”

“We stayed at Read House & Bridgemans Chophouse is located inside! We had ribeyes, macaroni & cheese & the Brussel sprouts! And all I have to say this chefs food is absolutely delicious! Best steak ever! And the sides delicious I recommend both of these! Also we sat at the bar and Allen was an excellent waiter and bar tender he made us feel very comfortable in a beautiful setting! Just want to say extra special thanks to Allen he new the menu well & the items we chose were items he told us were very delicious & they were! And crème brûlée was awesome was the cherry to top the evening ❤️”

“Perfect restaurant!! Two different workers asked us about allergies and everything was 12/10. My only dislike was you cannot sub anything at all & we are not pork eaters.”
“I'm not a vegan, but my wife is a vegetarian and we always look for vegan places when we explore nearby cities. SO GOOD! My reuben was delicious. The mashed potatoes were Thanksgiving-level awesome. Can't wait to come back.”

“Excellent breakfast! Everything is fresh and cooked to perfection. The service is fantastic! Can't go wrong having breakfast or lunch here. I wish they would build one in Jasper, GA. We need a great breakfast and lunch place.”
“Good evening, a very good experience, the waiter Gilberto, very attentive, helpful and friendly, the people who serve the meats to the table, very polite, attentive and helpful, I recommend the place, we are from Colombia and we loved it.”
“I get the chicken salad croissant with Mediterranean salad every time and is usually the best part of my week. Extremely friendly, calm and welcoming place to read for a bit or even just a quick bite in the work day.”

“Sabrina was top notch!!! After a long trip and some questionable service she reminded me that AMAZING servers do exist!! Definitely will be back! Ask for Sabrina next time you go!”
“I love this place. Their mug club is seriously the best mug club deal ever at $60. If you aren’t a member, you need to be. Ask an employee about the perks, and do it! Their beer selection is fantastic with a good variety of all types of beer, and they’re constantly producing more. Their food is delicious, and they often have deals on apps, pizzas, etc. and the best part…the employees. They’re amazing and so knowledgable and friendly. Best brewery in Chatt.”
“We used Lil Mama’s to cater lunch for our guest speakers for a local event this weekend. Kori and her staff were so sweet and happy to accommodate food allergies and our busy schedule, and the food was delicious! We loved working with them and will definitely be repeat customers!”
“Food and service are amazing! It is my favorite BBQ spot in town. I brought some out of town friends here and one of them ordered the ribs. He said he got more than twice the amount he expected compared to other restaurants.”
“The place is small but don’t let that fool you, they’re food is delicious and customer service is on point. 10/10 would eat here again. Keep up the great work guys”
“We catered a Taco bar with chicken & steak tacos!!All the food was amazing & we had so much food!!Everyone loved it & kept asking where they could get more!!Thanks so much,Jorge!!He also is just amazing to work with & helped me so much!!”
“I love this place! Great atmosphere and food!! It is always packed but worth the wait! I highly recommend this place, you at least need to try it once if you are in the area, you won't regret it!!”
“This place is absolutely amazing and I will definitely be coming here again ASAP. Our server was very knowledgeable and friendly. And luckily, we were able to eat outside where we could see the mountains in the distance. It was beautiful. I had a “Make Your Own Pasta” with the homemade spinach linguine noodles with the tomato spinach sauce, as recommend by server, with grilled veggies. It was sooo delicious! Everything we had was awesome. Highly recommend!”
“I have always loved this place but last night (Friday 3/22/24) was above and beyond. Kelsey was our server and she was GREAT! She was so friendly and has a wonderfully inviting energy. What did it for me though was when I told her I have a gluten allergy she immediately educated me on the risk of cross contamination with their tortilla chips since they are house fried. She brought me out the most beautiful bowl of freshly chopped vegetables to eat with their fantastic guacamole. I’m so impressed with her and hope the owners know they have a gem!”
“Such a fun place- delicious food, cold beer, friendly servers, unique decor! So many choices for tap beer, lots of IPAs which we love. We had tacos (the Thursday night special) which were very good, and the best fried shrimp ever. It's hand breaded with a light, perfectly seasoned breading, and they're huge! Since we're from Wyoming, we had to have the fried okra because we never get it at home. It, too, was superb! Can't recommend Doc Holiday's enough!”
“My husband and I stopped here as it was highly recommended by some friends. We placed a to-go order, and the food was prepared pretty quickly. I love nutella and strawberries, so I always gravitate towards that flavor of crepe, and my husband got a siracha and chicken crepe. Had we stayed to dine in, we probably would have hungout on the old London double-decker school bus. The atmosphere inside was cozy and nicely decorated. Parking was a bit hard to navigate as it's a shared parking lot with other businesses in the area. Street parking was available, but with having a to-go order we didn't want to deal with that hastle. The food was delicious, and we definitely recommend stopping here!Parking: We came at lunchtime and the parking lot was pretty busy and hard to navigate.”
“OMG! I can’t say enough. Was in town for a golf outing and we decided to try this place out. Sat at the bar where we watched bartenders Hunter and Will make one amazing drink after the other. Will gave us tips on what to order. In his recommendation I got the Costillas En Salsa Verde - yum! One friend got the Hangar steak, one got the Ropa Veja, and one got the shrimp Mac and Cheese. Everyone loved their food. Highly recommend!”
“Bailee and her trainee done a fantastic job with service! staying the night here and was recommended by a friend. . Urban Stack kitchen done a fantastic job with all of our food. place was very clean staff throughout was very attentive and Friendly. Job well done.”
“Drove 6 hrs in heavy rain and found this place to stop and have a meal! Gabby was amazing behind the bar and i ordered the chicken caprese and my meal was a 10!!! Love finding new places that really impress me when i travel!”
“Tania and Jorge are amazing. I was so amazed by the food, the drinks (made with natural fruits right in the moment) and the friendly and comfortable environment they offer. If you are in the Chattanooga area or on your way to Raccoon Mountain you definitely should stop in this delightful restaurant.”
“Smaller place. Everyone was very friendly. My husband and I both ordered chicken breast sandwich and I ordered a side of Mac and cheese. I am a wimp so I ordered no spice while he ordered medium. They checked with the kitchen and advised it would be about 15 mins as it would be fresh. We agreed and ordered sweet teas. It was no joke fresh and super hot temperature wise. We were a little surprised when I came out it was fried chicken between two pieces of bread. They gave us a choice of sauces to put on it and it was good. As the chicken cooled off enough to eat it was a little dry. Overall was good.”
“Omg! This place was amazing! Conveniently located next to Finley Stadium and such a cool atmosphere! McKenna was our waitress and she is off the charts! I wish more servers were like her! She recommended an appetizer and we discussed drinks and pizza choices! She was attentive, friendly and made our visit! The pizza, doughboyz, and mimosas were phenomenal!”
“My parents treated my husband and children and I to an anniversary dinner here and it was DELICIOUS. As a parent with a child who has a life threatening food allergy I am always hesitant to go somewhere new, but the owner went above and beyond to meet our needs and insure what we ordered would be safe. Not only safe, but incredibly delicious!! . My kids loved the Alfredo with rigatoni pasta so much we had to order another! The house salad and vinaigrette was ugh so good. The penne Toscano (I think) was divine. Just go. You won't regret it!”
“The food and service was great. My daughter and I ordered flap jacks for the younger kid which came with bacon and eggs. The teens ordered waffles and bacon and potatoes. My daughter had steak eggs and potatoes. I had the chicken and waffles. Chicken was friend to perfection. I really enjoyed the food and I will definitely go back and the pineapple mimosas was everything. ?Nice experience make sure y'all try it out ???”
“I have been on a bit of a BBQ tour lately and thought I would put Sugar's on the list. I'm glad I did. I had the ribs with greens and mo' rockin stew. I thought the ribs were really good. Very tender, moist with good smoke. They have several sauce options that not only have good flavor but we're quite distinct from each other which was fun and delicious.I don't have enough experience with greens to compare but they were tender and not bitter and I thought really good with the clearly great sauce. The mo' rockin stew was nice too. Kind of a chicken and bean soup that was a nice change from the usual baked beans. The meal came with cornbread muffins. They were good with corn kernels and pieces of jalapenos. They were moist but probably the least noteworthy part of the meal.The restaurant sits up on a hill and has a nice view of Chattanooga. You can sit inside or out on the deck. There are goats on the property which are fun and friendly. The waitress was polite and pretty on top of everything. The cashier/hostess was a nice surprise. Energetic, friendly and engaging she was a nice throw back to classic American hospitality. Overall the whole experience was really enjoyable. I will definitely be back. I would recommend stopping in at least once. You'll be glad you did.Kid-friendliness: Has a kids menu and goats”
“I have never felt so welcome at a restaurant before until i walked through these doors. The atmosphere, the servers, the chef himself, and even the guests were just all around in an amazing mood. They took care of us for sure. The food was extremely delectable. The chef, Mike Adams came to talk to us and made us feel welcome and our server Sydney did the same with her exceptional service. We aren’t from Chattanooga but a 2 hour drive is worth it if my family and i are going back to dine here. And PLEASE try the blueberry bread pudding. DELICIOUS. If i could give a Michelin Star i most certainly would. Thank y’all so much. I hope this review goes a long way.Kid-friendliness: They made my baby feel welcome by including him in the conversations!”
“Little hole in the wall, lunch and dinner diner.It's name us because the owner loves purple and daisies.Great food, great service, great atmosphere.Where regulars known by name, the servers smile and great you warmly.Service is fast and prices are reasonable.If the server tells you your meal has a lot of food, BELIEVE her. I did not and could not finish.I had the BBQ Pork Nachos. To die for.I also had a bowl of chili. Tasted great just not spicy enough for me. Added Purple Daisy Hot Sauce and it was perfect.I highly recommend this place.”
“This is a great place to grab a bite to eat, we got the smash burgers and DID NOT REGRET IT! They have this bacon sauce that makes the burger beyond delicious!I tried the chips and phew, they gave me a ton of them, she got the French fries. The chips are decent.We’ve since been and got the buffalo chicken dip, awesome as well.The staff are all so nice. This is a great place!”
“Awesome place with great service. The 1885 burger was amazing. Didn't love the smoked fish dip but definitely have had worse. Definitely worth checking out.”
“Great Beer, great food, but the time to order is a bit longer. Add a line to the kitchen, bring food to the tables and you will never make me skip a weekend coming here. Amazing ambiance.”
“Hands down one of my favorite lunch stops in town. If you’re looking for fresh, authentic, delicious food. This is it. Tacos, tamales, Tortas, horchata, enchiladas. They have it all. I usually 2-3 or maybe 6 tacos and a tamale or two. Never had a bad experience with my food or with the staff. I’ve eaten here probably about 15-20 times since 2021 and it is always good. They used to take cards. However last few times I’ve gone it’s cash only. So bring some cash. You can feed two people for about $20.”
“Fingers on the pulse of live music in Chattanooga! This town is so lucky to have such a talented brother duo and the scene they have created at the tavern is jam on so many levels. The staff is handpicked sweetness and the room is happy with class. The back porch and alley are the perfect place to get air and chill. The menu is always unexpectedly excellent! 6 stars out of 5.”
“We had the best meal at Carrabba's last night. From drinks to appetizers to entrees, our food did not fail to impress. The service was impressive as well. Jeremy did a fantastic job taking care of us. We will definitely be back!”
“great food and drinks! we went out for my birthday dinner. we had the tropical Margherita and frozen blood orange swirl, and they were the best drinks we've ever had at a restaurant. the Philly burrito and the spicy burrito were phenomenal, and the churros were so good I will ask for those over a birthday cake any day. absolutely 100% recommend and we will definitely be back.”
“What a phenomenal dinner and phenomenal service! Thanks to Jill & Jillian. The Porterhouse was like cutting soft butter. Best I’ve ever had. Also tried the Bone Marrow and the Pork Belly….. Amazing. Will definitely be back.”
“The best of Greek dishes, served in a very inviting atmosphere. As you enter the restaurant, fabulous desserts are displayed in a bake shop-ebough to entice the tastebuds for what is to come. delicious meal!”
“First time ordering here. Ordered one beef taco and one tongue taco. It was over $9 which was a little more than I would like to pay for two tacos but they were fantastic!! The tortillas are freshly made and whoa. Big difference in taste from. The store bought. I wish I would have ordered another one. They were kind of small. But the taste was so good I will definitely be back”
“Awesome as always! Maria and Tito are the ultimate hosts. They’re from Jalisco province...so this is authentic food. Tequila comes from there about too. Enjoy it all....”
“out of town - bbq jackfruit sandwich was super tasty as well as nachos!! you guys watered down spicy mayo tho (a LOT), and that part was nasty; also, please stop using styrofoam. It's literally banned, extremely harmful to health..”
“OUTSTANDING!! This is must-try BBQ in Chattanooga. We’re visiting from Atlanta and chose Chatt Smoke House over a few other choices…best decision! Talk to James, the owner. He’s got great stories and his ribs and pork plates are fantastic. The beans, potato salad, Cole slaw and fried okra are some of the best I’ve ever eaten. Love it!!!”
“Beautiful brunch. Excellent food. Having the whole coffee kettle on the table even though I’m the only one to order coffee - YOU GET IT!! I’m coming back for that alone.Having the waitresses even joking with us and laughing (or Oscar-worthy pretending to) at some Dad jokes…icing on the cake.ps get the avocado toast…my 2 cents”
“It is legit!!!! Finally found the best Japanese restaurant in Chattanooga area. We had miso (great), maki lunch tuna and yellow tail (great) ginger salad (great), veggie tempura (great), gyoza (great). Highly recommend. I have been missing a more authentic place since we moved away from California. Thank goodness.”
“Super Friendly staff. We ordered and the food came quickly and it was delicious. The atmosphere of the restaurant is like a old diner in a little country town. The kids loved sitting at the bar in the swivel chairs. ❤️”
“This place was amazing! We tried three entree meals to share and they were all amazing! If you are ever visiting the area you should check them out! We got the poke bowl (which I think was my favorite), nachos, and the pesto sandwich with Thai carrot soup. Would eat there again if we were staying longer.”
“great atmosphere, service, jukebox, and, when they have live music, it seems to be done well. promotion, sound, and stages are great. I only wish they had more live music because it has the best setup for it in Chattanooga, imo, but i understand why they don't do it all the time. I find it comparable to places like the 40-watt in Athens...my other musician friends all love playing there and we all love going there for shows and just to grab a drink and a snack and hang out in a chill place. glad to have it in Chattanooga!”
“Champy's was recommended to us by a local, and we are so glad we listened! First, the parking is free. That's a big plus. When we exited the car, the incredible smell hit us, and that's when we knew we were in for an excellent meal. There are three dining areas to choose from: one is a three-season covered area, the next is a large bar area, the third is a smaller bar area. In the two bar areas, there are dollar bills decorating the walls. There are old pictures and artifacts. Service was fast. Sweet tea was spot on. The sausage/cheese/pickle appetizer could have been a meal for one person. I had the fried catfish platter, and it was perfect. My husband had the chicken nugget platter, and he thought the chicken was amazing. Our travel companions had the 3-piece white chicken platters, and they were extremely happy. We all left full and super glad we stopped in.”

“This is one of the amazing subways I’ve ever been to inside of a hospital. I just started working here a couple months ago and I’ve got to know the store manager and she is one of the sweetest, caring and likes to joke around type of manager. Has learned my order from the beginning to the end.”
“My husband and I stopped in on our way back from Chattanooga. I had the ribeye and shrimp on the barbie combo, hubby had the salmon. We both love our meals. There was no wait for seating. The waitress was fabulous, checking on us without being intrusive. I would recommend this place to anyone!”
“This evening we had dinner here, our server, Courtney was very professional and tending to our needs prior to asking. The manager Victoria was so pleasant and you can feel she cares about the customers and her employees. Food was wonderful as well.”
“Our first visit and it will certainly not be our last! Everything we ate was delightful — seafood bisque, chicken & seafood paella, Brazilian steak cooked on a hot stone, candied pears with cinnamon ice cream & caramel sauce. SO GOOD! Excellent service also. It was a lovely date night and we highly recommend!”
“This place is always a good time. The perfect little dive bar on a Friday or Saturday night ??We love the karaoke ? parking is defintely rough but doesn’t bother us as we Uber anyways. People are always friendly and you’re bound to run into at least a couple people you know. Total Cheers vibe.”
“Great service. Just want to go back when weather is warmer and can enjoy the view of the riverCoconut cake not as moist as it use to be. But was good ?.Catfish was delicious but hush puppies to over cooked.Chicken strips not the best have had better there.”
“I sent a picture of a 2 tiered Paris cake to see if she could make it and she Nailed it perfectly! It was a gorgeous, delicious and wonderful cake ! She makes amazing cakes !”
“We became acquainted with Pho while visiting our daughter in the Pacific Northwest. My husband was wanting some for his birthday so we drove down from Athens TN. He had the beef and tripe pho, and I had the beef vermicelli and both were wonderful! The crispy spring rolls were outstanding!”
“First time visit on Thursday. I got the large brisket sandwich with French fries. It did not disappoint. For the price, I got lots of brisket on a great looking buttered bun. The brisket was amazingly tender and juicy. They offer a special TN bbq sauce that’s a perfect match with the brisket. I will be back to try more!”
“Was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the pastries, especially for the unbelievable prices! Perfect balance of sweet, as well as the wonderful fluffy or crispy textures depending on the pastry. Pop these puppies in for 3-5 minutes at 350 F for a fresh and warm taste and mouth feel. Even though you won't know what pastries are what, you can't go wrong with any of them! I enjoyed every single one I tried. I'll be back!”
“My family has been to Santi's several times and it's become a family favorite for Mexican in the area. The birria plate is really nice for a change of pace (the birria tacos are also good). The kids meal seemed expensive at first but it comes with a drink and a lovely desert. The fajitas were also really solid - crispy meat, good seasoning. Our servers are always friendly and prompt. The restaurant seems to be leaning a little harder into the restaurant vibe over the sports bar vibe, which is fine by us. Definitely recommend Santi's.”
“We went at a weird time, it was near closing before July 4th holiday. We had decided to go after finding out another place was closed. I'm sure the owners weren't thrilled with us coming at that time! But I'm really thankful they were willing to take our order, and though the selection was limited at that point, they gave us extra food. Really hospitable couple, would definitely like to try again on a normal day. The food has that homecooked taste, which is very comforting.”
“So impressed! We ordered the brisket burrito, two tacos and chips and salsa. Everything was so good. Service was excellent and friendly. In photos everything looked a bit small, so I was a bit worried it wouldn't be enough for my husband, but we left super full.”
“First time here. I had the Baja Omelet with a side of tater tots. The omelet was an explosion of great flavor! The tater tots tasted kind of like a mix of hash browns and hush puppies and were also delicious! Service was friendly. The atmosphere is comfortable with nice decor. They allow you to bring your dog in to go to the patio if you like to bring your pup along when you eat out. Free parking was a definite plus for eating here!!!”

“We've had a very, very good meal and a couple of meals that were okay. This last visit, our meals arrived lukewarm and steak medium rather than medium rare. We advised server who offered a re-do but as it took a bit for her to get back to us and we were already eating what we had, we declined. We were given one dessert on the house.Drinks from bar were average.Nice restaurant, most servers and staff very pleasant and helpful.”
“Don Dricoll Did a great job May 1 for the 10th anniversary in Chattanooga. Don kept the bar bites fresh and plenty of them for no charge and happy hour from 4 to 8. Cody did a perfect job of keeping our drinks there when we needed them. We meet some friends there and everyone had a lot of fun. Sorry we did not win the prizes from the free drawing. Mike and Brenda”
“What a great place. The scenery inside is amazing. It's a gorgeous high ceiling building. Even the chandeliers in the restroom were beautiful. The food was amazing. I live a great burger!! We could have fought over the pickle fries app. My daughter really enjoyed her Flatbread pizza. My son had the brisket Mac. I tried the brisket and I would have ordered that as a main dish itself because it was so good. The staff was very kind and patient with our questions. OH, don't forget the sidewinder fries! YUMKid-friendliness: My daughter is 12 and she loved it!”
“I have been twice because I'm fairly new in Chattanooga. Great food and great service both times. The menu accommodates different dietary preferences. And the service was great.”
“We visited for our 1st time to Chattanooga today...perfect brisket, food was delicious. Valerie was our waitress and service was amazing and she went out of her way to take care of us. Got a free bottle of Sticky Finger Barbeque sauce with their current promotion. Great place!”

“What a wonderful experience! Megan went above and beyond helping me plan my son and daughter-in-law's rehearsal dinner. Living out of state, I was concerned about getting everything taken care of , but Megan quickly set my mind at ease and went out of her way to make everything stress-free and perfect for us. The food was delicious and plentiful. Everyone raved over the menu and the staff were very courteous and professional. I highly recommend Food Works!”
“Our breakfast was absolutely amazing! The atmosphere is very cozy and welcoming. Drinks are delicious, food is delicious. But that’s not what really got me. I wish I would have gotten her last name. Brittany was our server and she did a hell of a job! Girl pat yourself on the back. She was welcoming, insightful on the menu and made excellent recommendations. She was funny, witty and made our whole experience amazing! I will definitely return!!”
“This place changed my taco outlook of this city. I ordered 3 different tacos, and a passionfruit margarita. I had a carnita taco, a PIZZA (yes, you read that right) taco, and a spicy brisket taco. All three tacos had their own vibes going HARD. I was told I'd have leftovers. I do not. EAT THESE TACOS, CHATTANOOGA PLEASE. 5 stars.”
“Excellent service from the wait staff. Delicious oysters and cocktails. It was my birthday and the waiter - Jordan - handed me a card at the end of the meal - see pic.The evening hostess on Monday, April 22 could take a hospitality course from the rest of the staff - she was extremely cold and unwelcoming. Maybe she was having a bad day?”
“I walk past this restaurant every week but never tried. My boss treated me for lunch and oh man what a treat! The service , the atmosphere, and let's not forget the food delicious! I have the BLT with avocado and fried egg. It's amazing!”
“We had lunch there. We had to wait for a while to get seated. Waiting time was usefully spent in their store and we could buy some interesting items. They have a variety of dishes on the menu. The food and service were good.”
“The food and service were both great. It was very convenient to swing by before we took the kids to the Creative Discovery Museum.Kid-friendliness: They provide crayons and paper for kids to draw color and hang their artwork. The lady who spoke with my daughter about her picture was so sweet to her and acted so excited to receive it.”
“Loved it! Highly recommended by friends and former employees! If I lived in Chattanooga, I would be there all the time. So many things on the menu that I still need to try! Can’t wait to go back!”
“Regardless of what these ladies are wearing, they are the best at what they do. Miss Katie behind the bar saw that my order was wrong and even though I wasn't planning on sending it back, she still had a whole new order sent out in less than 5 minutes. Sit at the bar, and these ladies WILL see that you are taken care of, period. The outfits are really just a bonus. Highly recommend!”
