I had horrendous food poisoning after eating here in late February. I just found out that Southern Squeeze had a bad health inspection around that time showing lentils, chickpeas, and salsa among other things held at wrong temps. Pounds and pounds of it was thrown out on inspection. Also sanitation processes for juicing, and sanitation levels were too low in sanitizing bucket and dishwasher. I ate both chickpeas and lentils, and I have no doubt it was a direct result of these unsanitary conditions. I was a regular customer, but I will never eat here again. I've never been so sick in my entire life. I still have nightmares about it. (I had friends in town for days, they did not get sick, only difference is that I ate Southern Squeeze and they did not.)

Caution: this used to be a vegan spot, but they have started serving animal products. Capitalism over integrity, it seems.

This is one of my favorite places in Chattanooga period. I am so glad they exist. The food is always fresh; I adore their monthly specials; and you can tell the staff work hard and are passionate about what they are doing.Dietary restrictions: They can tell you exactly what is in their products, just ask.

Trash. Food is mediocre and poor customer service for over priced food. Go here if you want to waste your mula.

So darn good. They just should be in his good when they are healthy. My childhood favorite didn't disappoint.

Visited for coffee and breakfast. Great selection of healthy good and gluten free options. Very good coffee. Can't wait to go back
I'm not vegan but I'm vegan curious:-)The cool thing about this place is that it makes veganism approachable, attainable, judgment-free and yummy! The juices are amazing and give you a huge burst of energy. Plus the glass containers fill my cabinet and I use them daily. But bring them back for 25 cents off your next purchase!The meals WILL FILL YOU UP!Also, get the waffle. You won't be disappointed.The staff are super kind and always smiling. I drop by here any time I'm in the area!One note and this is neither good nor bad, just fyi: its very popular nowadays for businesses of all kinds to allow dogs. Southern Squeeze does not. Im a dog lover but personally think dogs SHOULD NOT be allowed in places that serve food so Im good with this :-)
Love this place! So many great options it was so hard to choose. I loved the cocoa nib touch on the body buzz smoothie. So delicious! Will definitely be back to try more!

I was visiting Chattanooga and found this place in a random search for vegan restaurants and am super glad I did!!! It was pricey and the staff didn’t seem super friendly (not rude but also not welcoming) but the decor and atmosphere were nice. Modern but not too trendy. The menu has a lot to offer. I had a grilled “cheese” sandwich for the first time in twenty years and it was really delicious. I had it with a cup of lentil soup that was also yummy and had a pronut (I think I spelled it correctly) that I enjoyed very much with a perfect ginger tea. Even more satisfying than the food was that it was served on a real plate with real utensils and the water did not have ice and no straw was offered. They brought out a nice sized bottle of water with a glass cup. So often I try places only to be disappointed because everything is served in disposable containers. That was a super pleasant surprise. I go through Chattanooga often and will definitely be back. It was a satisfying indulgence. Next time I hope to get there early enough to try a waffle. Seems like that’s a specialty of theirs. Definitely recommend!!!
I ordered in bulk from here for my road trip from Tennessee to Florida... amazing. Nothing disappointed! Workers are fabulous and kind. Everything is vegan and organic. The only thing: truly, everything is made from natural ingredients, and not everybody is used to natural tastes, so you may not like the food if everyday you eat Cheetos. But wow, my favorites were the vegan meat, cashew cheese, turmeric latte (w almond milk), matcha pronut/donut, and blueberry truffle (I can't remember if it's truffle). Everything was so flavorful!! My mother said it was subtle in flavor but not to me!! Amazing and I hope someday soon they open somewhere in central Florida, because otherwise I'm down to making these things myself. Maybe they'll sell recipes too! :)

Fresh ingredients prepared well. Staff was very nice. They need to fix the menu because some items (particularly on the kids menu) are not labeled as having nuts when they do. It’s a potential safety issue for people with allergies.

When I think food, I'll be honest and open I think steak. I am by no means a vegan or even vegetarian. However, if that is you or you're considering that for your self, Southern Squeeze will help solidify your drive. Of the 4 different variety of foods I was able to try from my group who ate here, every single bite was delicious and full of love, whole, and healthy ingredients. The flavors of the food truly came alive with every bite. In a world with ever increasing unknown oddities being added to our food, SS is a gem that shines bright and the natural and organic world.Vegetarian options: Vegan Friendly
