33 Best Southern Restaurants near Fort Oglethorpe

“Great experience in fort Oglethorpe Georgia!!“

“We come here quite often cuz I love their steak pasta, it’s always really good. Today we had Abbi for the first time as our sever and she was awesome! It’s always a hit or miss if we get rolls, even when we ask for them, but she made sure to bring us some and even offered another basket fresh out of the oven. She also checked on us a few times and was very friendly in general. Definitely had to leave a review this time cuz she was awesome!“

“Late lunch here and the food was fantastic! Hubby and I both had the Puckett’s BBQ-brisket for me and pork for him. Very tender meat and delicious side-smoked baked beans and potato salad. Friendly server who checked on us regularly. Definitely recommend“

“The best atmosphere! Calm and cozy. All the servers were very warm and inviting. Everyone who worked there stopped by to check on us at any point during our meal. The food was very cute and tasted great. We only had a light snack and a couple drinks. Such a cool experience!“

“Had lunch there today. Fantastic. John and Tyler took care of us in the bar area. Great menu great service. We have a GF kid and they went out of the way to take care of that for us. It’s hard to find a place that actually takes that serious. Usually within an hour we have issues. They actually did what they said they would. Highly recommend.“

“Great food, beer selection and patio space with a killer view of Chattanooga!“

“We had planned a trip to the Lodge Museum and store. I honestly didn't know about Big Bad Breakfast when we pulled in. Lucky for us, because we were hungry. We certainly weren't hungry when we left. I had the cathead biscuit. I'm so glad that I did. I thought it was wonderful. The chicken was super crisp and flavorful. The biscuit was easily the top of my list of best biscuits EVER. Now, I will warn you if you like soft bottom biscuits. This one wasn't. It was crisp, with a perfect cust like texture on the bottom. Just the way I like them. I'm just sorry there isn't a Big Bad Breakfast closer to home.“

“Mary’s plate lunches are the best! No cans in her kitchen. Homemade desserts are delicious. And the grill is manned by Christopher and they will melt in your mouth YUMBO! The staff is attentive to your needs and they love the customers. No wonder they have been and stayed in business since 1918. Family owned and now run by the 4th generation. I’ve even seen the 5th and 6th generation helping when they are “in the weeds”. You owe it to yourself to eat there.“

“Today my mom and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves at Southern Star. We both had your food bar, and it was filled with healthy as well as good, old fashioned comfort food. My husband loves chicken and dressing, your special today, as well as cornbread, so I bought him a portion to go. When I got home, I warmed it up for him, and of course, he loved it too! I was glad that I grabbed some of your baked goods, and so far, we have devoured the HUGE ginger snap cookie!!! It takes me back…thank you all for being so kind and attentive, especially Donna and another sweet lady but I failed to get her name. Thank you all for this great experience!“

“Wow wow wow, this place is amazing!!! Everything tastes like mee maw is back there giving it all her loving. Very home style cooking, generous portions and the service was some of the best service I have received in a long time Rae really treated us like we where family to her even though it was our first time. We had the Catfish platter and it was Devine along with the baked beans they where out of this world. Thank you Champys for the great time.“

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“

“Emma L. was our server tonight. We were watching the Bama/ TN game. She was extremely entertaining, along with the staff. She didn't make me feel bad that Bama lost. I give her 5 stars. Sophie H., Allie V., Arissa K., Katelyn G. were also extremely awesome. They make the Lee hwy Champy's a place i look forward to coming to.“

“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.“

“The food was delicious but our server made the experience awesome! We enjoyed downtown Chattanooga and then went to eat at Sticky Fingers and Layla took great care of us. We would definitely come again.“

“Three of us met for breakfast this morning. Two of us ordered the keto bowl and one had eggs, bacon and biscuit. I’m never disappointed with the service. The food was good…i’ve had some wow factor lately so I couldn't give it five ***** but it was good.

Coffee is always excellent.

I was there waiting for my service at Pepboy. I wouldn't recommend them. I’ll do a separate review later.“

“You might think this is AI but this place is genuinely that good. The food is good, the people are extremely nice, and it’s a decent price. I’ve lived in Chattanooga for 3 years and It’s crazy im just now finding out about this place. Shout out to the chef !!“

“The food is consistently good. However, that store needs a serious cleaning. Our table had a very large wet/ dirty floor, probably an area over 3 foot in diameter. This was at our feet! The credit card scanner was grungy and is desperate need of wiping it down away well. The waiter did a good job.“

“Great service. Food great as usual.“

“Love the newly remodeled Cracker Barrel in East Ridge! Great service and good food!“
