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?“

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

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

“Victoria Rose is an excellent server. She has a great personality and strives to provide a great dining experience.“

“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!“

“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!!“

“great food and excellent service. will definitely come back again.“

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

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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 ☺️“

“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!!“

“Great place! Had my first time in an O' Charley's today, fantastic experience! I'm so sorry they've been shutting down everywhere....keep this one open ! Lunch combo potato soup with club sandwich is to die for! Thank you will definitely be back 10/10“

“Let me just start by saying Catherine took care of me and she DEFINITELY deserves a raise!!! From the moment I walked in the door, she was so kind and friendly.
I drove all the way across town during rush hour and was so worried that I wouldn’t make it before closing time. I explained to her that it was my birthday (and that I’m also 6 months pregnant), and I’ve been thinking about getting me some donuts alllll day long. She was so nice and took care of me with a smile on her face! Again, give Catherine a raise!!!! She is so deserving!“

“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! 😉“

“One of the best visits at Steak & Shake ever. The food was one of the best I’ve ever gotten from any in the chain and I’ve been to many. I want to point out how Quick, courteous and kind John was on my visit 4/23/2026! You have served your company well and I SALUTE the chefs who made my order!! Perfect 👌“

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

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

“really great clean fast friendly atmosphere n service“

“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.“

“Food is always hot and fresh“

“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.“

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

“Endless appetizers are always good . Those were the best , you can actually get a cheese pull on the cheese sticks . My tator tots were totally overcooked though . Wings were a tad overcooked also but they were still good . Server was absolutely great also ! She was very attentive and did us good ! 4 people and we spent 59$ , not bad at all !!! Could've been totally worse also .“
