40 Best American Restaurants near Chickamauga

“First experience here ever very eye opening experience here tonight. I went in slightly tipsy and was literally given the worst service I've ever received in my entire almost 37 yrs of life. walked up to a familiar face and realized he was cut off. not sure of whatever happened prior to me walking in- started trying to joke with the bartender about awe why? just being in a playful mood because I just had a drink at home because I had a terrible day and my brother wanted to be nice and try to cheer me up by bringing me out for a drink. The bartender immediately shut down me down and gave me and immediate attitude I continued to try to get him to lighten up but his mood just kept getting worse. He however brought me my vodka and cranberry I ordered- I asked him why he was having a bad day and why he hated his job so much? just trying to get him to chill out- still extremely rude. A few more words were exchanged none of which were friendly he ripped said drink from my hand and asked me to leave however at one point because of said terrible day and him just being a dick and maybe a touch of the alcohol I did start to tear up and he just stood there with a cocky look on his face-laughing- whatever cool. However before I left I found out it was the owner. Steve Durkee- little miserable looking fella. Not sure why someone so miserable would be in such a personable career role.. you own a bar but have never dealt with someone drunk having a bad day? Bartenders are usually friendly and aim to make people feel better not like complete trash. Possible career change sooner than later, hopefully?“

“Good food, quick service, busy but not overwhelming, and overall a good experience.🍖“

“We eat at Wanda's at least once a week. The food is great and they fill your plates. Service is outstanding.“

“We were on vacation at Lookout Mountain, staying at a VRBO and looking for a place to eat. We saw this place online and decided to try it. We were there for an early dinner and no one else was there. The atmosphere was like a diner with booths and tables. The food was very good with reasonable prices and a variety on the menu. I had the chicken fried chicken, others had hamburgers. All the food was very good. The service was excellent. Highly recommend this place.“

“very good place to eat and the breakfast is out of this world“

“One of my local favorites. Put a little SOUTH in your mouth. 😉“

“How long has the long John silvers,been in business in fort Oglethorpe ga“

“We have been here twice so far and love it ! Staff is wonderful, clean, delicious and fresh. Tacos, pineapple water, tamales, cup of corn… all wonderful!! Can’t wait for our next visit ☺️“

“The Howard High School Class had a get together at Jonathan's on February 12, 2026. It was great food and awesome service. Sophia and Rachel were our hostesses and they treated us royally.“

“I went there today right before they closed so we got the seafood gumbo pretty much all they had left. It was extremely good. Would definitely go back again. Would like to try some other things. I would give it a 10 out of 10 for what I ate.“

“I stopped by at the Chattanooga Market today and had the Philly cheesesteak fries based on Chef Chasity’s recommendation. I am always nervous to order cheesesteak, French dips, etc. because I really do not like fatty meat and so many places do not take the time to scrap that part. I know some people like it that way, but not me. The Philly Cheesesteak fries were delicious! I almost chose the chicken & bacon fries. So glad I didn’t!! Will definitely be visiting Eastgate Mall to try more of the menu. Hoping she can change my mind about seafood in Chattanooga, as I am quite picky about that as well!“

“Great experience in fort Oglethorpe Georgia!!“

“After several calls to Rock City Garden (no direct number to cafe), I wanted to check on this location for an anniversary lunch. I was given restaurant hours which included Monday’s. I was reluctantly transferred to cafe for other questions. Interestingly, the chef answered my call responding cafe was closed on Monday’s. Only light hor-d’oeuvre’s served on Monday’s which Rock City Gardens (how convenient when selling $50+ park passes) failed to disclose. The chef was strange up with help (5*’s); not so much with RCG’s. So Beware what’s lurking behind a phone call! Wish there was a way to Cafe 7 without going through a garden, particularly Rock City Garden.“

“I have always loved Armandos burgers. It had been many years since I had visited, in fact, I wasn't sure if they were still open! I went this past weekend and it was every bit as good as I remember!! Get onion rings with ur burger - you'll thank me later!!“

“New restaurant here in town..waited a cpl months for the crowds to thin, and picked an afternoon to avoid major meal periods..server's still got some new to the game jitters, but food was great, all was still shiny and new and staff was friendly.
Welcome to Ringgold...you've got a leg up on the other steak houses in town..Keep it that way!“

“Went in for lunch today and ordered a cheese burger and onion rings. The food was great and well prepared. The staff was sweet and friendly. 100% recommend this place.“

“We will definitely be back“

“Awesome place to eat. Delicious food and exceptional service.“

“We like eating at O’Charley’s because most of the time it’s quiet and comfortable. We went Saturday and it felt so good in the restaurant because it was like 100 degrees outside! I ordered chicken tenders with Mac & cheese and smashed potatoes. The chicken was too salty but the sides were good. Of course the bread we got in the beginning was wonderful, but we weren’t offered anymore than that.
Our server was matter-of-fact, pleasant, not really the friendly type. Just there to do a job I guess, but she did check on us every so often.
We will probably go back again!“

“We had supper at the Epicurean this evening. It was so delicious {as usual}. Often, we just forget about going there or we fail to get off work in time. -Whenever we eat there, we feel sorry for the 20-30 year old crowd that seemingly never has this place on their radar! That’s ok though; they leave all the scrumptious food for the 50+ crowd to enjoy! 😉“

“Loved our experience! Jamie was a great server and the food was hot and fresh!“

“I was doordashing, stopped in to pick up the order, never been to this location before. The manager was at the door and politely opened the door for me and automatically greeted me and was so sweet! He could read me quick and showed me where to pick up the order and really impressed me. If I had not already gotten a new job I would have asked for his name and let him know I would apply. I would work for him in a Heart beat! When complimenting to another worker she seemed very proud of her manager and was very happy to hear my review. That told me this man knows how to run a business, how to treat his employees and still be amazing! Keep up the awesome work!!“

“Let me tell you what. I love this place, I try to come a couple times a week as I work at Slobberbones in the same mini mall. The ladies that work there a simply a joy to speak with honestly they are so kind and like able. Not to mention if you want a filled donut that is ... filled theirs is always bursting with filling and the old fashioned cake donuts are to dieeeeee for. Love y'all so much thanks for staying consistent and treating my tastebuds.“

“Great service as well as food being prepared for customers“

“Great service friendly service, clean restaurant!“

“Great bar with fun games“

“first time here and our server Emily was fabulous from the beginning to the end of our experience, the appetizer was great and our Steaks were cooked to perfection the temp we asked for...be sure to ask for Emily, she will most definitely give you awsome service“

“Michael was the best waiter ever! we had so much fun celebrating Brayleighs 7th birthday! and hanging out with amazing friends!“

“I went in to order. The staff were very friendly and they helped me redeem a deal on my app! The restaurant is very clean. It has a down home feel. They had a display for Memorial Day ,as well as drawings made by children from a neighborhood church. It is handicapped accessible and has handicapped parking.“

“First off the wings are some of the best ones I have had in chat, nice and crispy. My order came out wrong the first time and the guy at the counter didn’t seem to be too upset about fixing it. The service was also a bit slow but my food was hot and delicious. I’ll take the slower service for good food.“

“Our Host was also the server & bartender… so short staffed , but Roger kept his cool and made it a great dining experience!!“

“really great clean fast friendly atmosphere n service“

“Honestly, for what it is this place is really good. The only complaint I really have as the cleanliness of the dining room and the drive-through. It would be nice to see this place to get a facelift and get people outside to clean up the drive-through in the parking lot more often.“

“Food is always hot and fresh“

“Our server was very attentive and the atmosphere was phenomenal. The temperature of the food could've been hotter but considering how busy they were Im not going to make a huge fuss the overall taste and presentation was on point. I will definitely visit this location again.“

“Excellent food and friendly professionalism by Lane at Captain D's. I will be bringing my family back. Thank you!“
