“THE FOOD WAS EXCELLENT EXCEPT I HAD TO RETURN MY PANCAKE BECAUSE IT WAS LUKE WARM WHERE THE BUTTER DID NOT MELT. THE WAITRESSES WAS AMAZING, SHE CORRECT IT IMMEDIATELY. SHE WAS THE BEST EXAMPLE OF PROFESSIONAL SERVICE I HAVE SEEN AT CRACKLE BARREL.“

“We’ve passed by several times and today we decided we’d give Fat Boy’s a try. We were not disappointed! I had the Philly cheese steak and my boyfriend had the brisket burger, both came with the most crispy fries and a delicious sauce. We also ordered fried pickles as an appetizer and they were fried a golden brown and perfect and the ranch was good too! We decided to also give their deep fried Oreos a shot for dessert and wow! Portions are abundant and we did not leave hungry! We will definitely be back!“

“I recommend Shanes Rib Shack, very good food and family friendly.“

“This is a good place to eat. I would recommend it. I got a cheeseburger, tots, and sweet tea. Very good especially the tea. Service is different because all the servers assist you. I didn't know that at first and couldn't figure out why the person who took the order didn't come back. The place is not huge but didn't have to wait but a minute for a Friday. It is a country style restaurant and clean. Will eat here again.“

“Excellent restaurant, great food and wide variety, friendly staff with quick service. Cheddars is my favorite go to place to eat“

“This was my first visit. I was pleasantly surprised. I’ll be back.“

“Food was good but - as usual - the mashed potatoes were cold. I’ve about quit ording potatoes from Cracker Barrel.Kid-friendliness: HATE kid-friendly restaurants. Had a couple of little heathens next to me this time. Parents let them run wild and scream bloody murder. And let them throw most of their food in the floor. If they can’t teach them how to behave in public they need to leave them at home !!“

“Best chicken I've eaten in a long time. Although not same space as KFC, fast food v. sit down, flavor was amazing. Offerings were spread enough to please the kids but narrow enough to maintain their speciality. If you move to Eastern NC, please let us know. Btw.... I took the left over slaw home, yeah it was that good.“

“Me and my hubby always go the restaurant and get chicken we definitely pack it to the Max ?but lemme tell ya the experience at a the soccer game it was all that and more for me and my family. We didn’t and would never mind the wait of fresh cooked food as always the food was amazing and cooked to perfection and on top of that my baby got to play in the soccer shots scrimmage, ☺️afterwards we definitely demolished the 1st bucket (it didn’t stand a chance ion think we let it cool off lol) and definitely had to get another for the ride home lol I would do it all again even wait it was all worth it. Thank you and many blessings“

“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“

“The food was delicious!! We had great customer service as well. The restaurant has a great layout and they've thought about everything. I love the energy, but it was too much for me personally as they yell out orders being ready. Seems fun, but was triggering for me. It's completely personal and experience based, so I ate outside. I highly recommend and plan to revisit every time I'm in Chattanooga. Big fan!“
