“Outstanding service.. Food was exceptional, great location.“

“tull transparency ... my roommate's boyfriend brought home takeout. i was given a couple bites... OMFG!! seriosuly, this is some of the best food i've had ever!! and the portions are ridiculous! the broccoli addition is great bc it's my fav food. i'm not a fan of seafood or bbq as a general rule, but the the potato with brisket was amazing! the lobster was delicious! (i'm from florida, so i do know what i'm talking about here.) and the mason jar lemonade was great too! (younger me would've added booze, but it's refreshing as is!) this hidden gem is only a few mins from my house and thankfully! i cannot recommend KING GENE enough. i promise you, it is worth the trip from wherever you are.“

“The food is outstanding! Service is excellent and the owner is the best… if you visit Chattanooga or a local this place is a must. ❤️🙌👌“

“Skip if you are vegetarian. Few options beyond hummus, pita and the whipped feta. The falafel were the tiniest I have ever seen and only 3 were served. So small all there was to eat was the deep fried crust, no soft steaming yummy green inside to taste. I have never had falafel like that. Hard and crunchy. We left hungry and wishing we had gone somewhere else. Service was very good but for the prices, one would expect that. Just an OK experience.“

“We love coming here for dinner. Autumn always takes the best care of us!! We have had other servers when she isn’t working and the service just does not match hers!!! Great food as well“

“Very good food. Tyler was on his game today taking care of us. Highly recommended, and we WILL be back!!!

Parking: Only negative i have is pay for parking at most every location. Premium paid for whatever you want to do and have to pay for parking as well.“

“Excellent food! Chef Mike is friendly and informative about the food. Will definitely go back next time we visit Chattanooga!! Collard greens to die for!!“

“Sushi is amazing, and the bento box is my favorite. I’d highly recommend.“

“Pretty good. Not overly crowded, but there was only one waitress. She was good but a bit overworked so difficult to get things just right or timely. The dressing for the Caesar salad is very anchovy heavy. My husband liked it, but I could not eat it. The crabcakes were delicious. We ordered a side, but it never came. We had a lemon coconut dessert and it was flavorless; neither one of us ate it after the first bite. I guess the crabcakes saved our whole experience because they were quite good.“

“We love this restuarant and it’s our go-to place for every milestone moments but this review is about a bad experience we had today with our lunch order. We ordered a take out for my husband’s birthday and when we came back home we found one entree is missing. On calling back the restaurant , we explained in details what’s missing and requested them to keep the item ready as we wanted to eat together as a family before everything becomes cold. However when my husband reached the restaurant he was told that they didn’t believe us and then the server went to talk to the chef. After that she was convinced that the issue was on their side and took another 20 mins to give the food. This is outrageous and honestly feels borderline racist. She could’ve checked with the chef before we went back. We love this restaurant but this has left a very bad impression on us“

“My husband and I went to Carrabba's at the Hamilyon Place location in TN. We went for lunch and we did not have to wait, the service was great. The food is very delicious. I ate fettuccine Alfredo, it was nice and hot. Very good. I recommend Carrabba's it is delicious.“

“Food and service were amazing, as always. We were shocked to have to now pay for parking!! A $300 dinner and we have to pay for parking! We were told by the staff they have to pay for parking as well! And don’t the owners also own the parking lot? Possibly this isn’t the best policy!“

“Yum � I have never got any bad food � here, I tried the grilled flounder with shrimp � skewers it’s great!“

“It was extremely good , service was great…Nice and clean ..I would highly recommend it to others…“

“Seth was great and very professional.. the food was awesome.. 10 outta 10 ill try again ?? ask for Seth“

“Hade an amazing fathers day dinner! Always a great time, and Amanda was fabulous“

“We were passing through Chattanooga And we googled restaurants near me with good ratings. We were staying at Riverview Mountain Inn, and decided to go there. I’ll start off with Vicky and Steve were amazing. They gave us a couple of samples to try before we even actually ordered. I got the homemade chicken salad and brussels sprouts with balsamic..amazing! We also got mahi fish tacos with french fries well done and coleslaw and both entrées were absolutely amazing. Atmosphere was very quaint, very personable. We are from small towns in Missouri and we feel the owners gave us that Hometown feeling….. We would highly recommend this place if you’re passing through from anywhere, but especially if you’re staying at Riverview Mountain Inn. I know we have said amazing several times, but it absolutely was! Tish n Smit“

“Wonderful service, atmosphere, and food!!! highly recommend!!!“

“This was not my first time at Firebirds but it was the best time. Made a reservation through OpenTable, and had zero wait to sit down. Our server, Vanessa, was fast and attentive with everything. She even was amazing at accommodating my picky aunt who ended up getting three sides instead of an actual entree. The food was amazing, the service was even better. If you are lucky enough to get Vanessa you’ll have a great time.“

“When I'm in the area J Alexander's is a must stop. Always leave happy. Doesn't matter what you choose on the menu, you'll be happy. We had the lunch menu. Just a nice chill, calm relax atmosphere, with great service. I've never had a reson not to go back. I'll seem them again next time.“

“Today's food was not good at all!! I eat here often and I'm really disappointed today!! 😤😤😤“

“One of our favorite places to eat!!!!“

“I rarely give out a 5 stars but I just had to for this location! The food was amazing and was ready very quickly and the staff were so very nice and the dining area was very clean and orderly. Only thing that I could remotely complain about is there where no sun shades for the windows but truly isn't a big thing. Been a long while I've had a positive experience at a Captain D's but I reckon I just had to find the right one to go to.“

“Been a long time since I have eaten there. New crew, much better experience. I have enjoyed the food and feel is is a good value for the money. I have visted 3times in the last month and am very happy with everything! Remember, a place is only as good as their worst employee! I'm glad they have a great team now!!“
