Had the Nashville Hot Shrimp special with a side salad and the bourbon jam brussel sprouts. Brussel sprouts the best.

The Water Tower Grille is the perfect, hidden, little gem! We stopped by for an early dinner. Drinks were amazing {excellent bar selection}. The food was incredible. But, it was how friendly and fun the locals were to two outsiders that made it! Thank you to all who welcomed us. We will be back! ❤️

The chili burger was not good at all. Chili tasted like hormel canned chili. Place was hard to find as well.

I had an extremely disappointing experience at this restaurant—my first and last visit, without a doubt. The only positive aspect of my encounter was the young lady who answered my call. Initially, I checked the website for the menu, chose what I wanted, and called to place an order. I was informed it would take 25 minutes. I left my house about five minutes later, knowing it takes me 13 minutes to get there.
Upon arrival, I discovered that the restaurant didn’t exist at the given address. I called again and was provided with a new address. Politely, I informed the hostess that the location on Google was incorrect (edit to add Googles address was correct my GPS was wrong, as it hadn't updated the new address). After much frustration, I called once more and learned that the restaurant was a small, unmarked white house tucked beneath numerous trees—completely unfindable without proper signage. It looked like someone's residence.
I squeezed into the tiny parking lot, and as I tried to park, a man yelled from across the lot asking if I was picking up and telling me I was not in a proper parking spot. Frankly, at that moment, I should have left and saved myself the hassle. However, my family was hungry, so I proceeded inside.
What I encountered was absolute chaos. The place was so overcrowded that navigating through was nearly impossible. The environment felt more like a bar than a restaurant. Once I finally reached the “pick up” area, my food was just sitting out on the bar, completely unheated. She showed me my order and, honestly, the condition of the food was unacceptable. For nearly $60, I received a burger, chicken tenders, and over-fried Oreos that were all cold. The fries were terrible as well.
The atmosphere was unfriendly and unwelcoming. If you don’t fit the “good ole boy” stereotype, you might want to think twice before visiting this place. It’s not worth your time or money.

You have got to order the Garlic Parmesan fries. They must be dipped in liquid gold! Try the Big Johnson! Cooked to perfection and tasty as can be. MJ is the owner and chief cook and bottle washer. Great guy. Great staff.

We found Water Tower Grille while on a road trip to Chattanooga. I was a little worried when we pulled up and it looked like somebody's house instead of a restaurant. My husband wasn't shy and went on inside. I'm so glad he did because... holy cow the food was amazing! I had the Dirty Bird chicken sandwich. I'm confident that if Heaven has a food playlist, the Dirty Bird is somewhere near the top of that list. It was that good - chicken fried to perfection, melted pimento cheese, sweet Thai chili sauce, crispy bacon and I can't remember what else piled high on a delicious bun. The garlic parm fries were out of this world. The server was just the right amount of friendly and attentive. If you're lucky enough to live anywhere near this place, you gotta stop by and give it a shot. Heaven on a plate.
Server was great food took forever to come and just wasn't that good don't know that we will try again. Seems to be more of a place to hang out and drink

We love what they have done to the place but there were to many negatives to outweigh the positives. Could not enjoy our food due to the smell of mold throughout and we used to eat at the Adairsville Inn 3-4 times a month and it never smelled that bad. We had to repeatedly ask for refills due to our waitress constantly going missing or forgetting what condiments we had asked for. 2 of the ordered dishes were not good. They were overcooked and lacked seasoning. The other dishes received good reviews from our guest. The outdoor seating is next to the tracks and the trains that came by were so loud it was not enjoyable. Not sure if a sound barrier against the fence would help. Other than the noise the atmosphere outside is very nice. Parking is decent but limited and it depends on when you get there.

My son and I stopped in after a LakePoint baseball game. Place was excellent, food was great, loved the little fried jalapenos and pretzel bites, priced right and we were able to quickly grab a table in the bar with games on the tv. A perfect little spot. But no sign out front, and it is a house, so pay attention to address!
