Restaurants near Lookout Mountain

“Our family of five spent our first night in Chatt at the Enchanted Garden of Lights at Rock City/Lookout Mountain. We purchased timed tickets at the beginning of October for viewing the lights a week before Christmas and paid about $120 for two adults and three kids. There is plenty of free parking in the nearby lots but it is so poorly marked and lit that cars spaced themselves out far too wide and it takes awhile to weave around an find a car-sized opening. We arrived about 20 minutes prior to our ticket time and were let in 15 min prior. Bundle up if seeing these lights around the holidays as it is extra cold and windy atop the mountain.I loved the Arctic Kingdom was my favorite with blue twinkle lights and penguins. The (almost) unanimous favorite of the exhibits was the Fairytale Land, which takes you into caverns below and has black lit fairy tale stories shown throughout in large diorama form. You end with a really large exhibit. Note that this section (and many others) have LOTS of stairs and tight quarters with rock formations. I do not recommend this if you have physical limitations. In addition, do not bring a stroller here. I saw many couples arguing and near tears because they had to carry strollers up and down long flights of narrow and slippery stairs. We enjoyed this place but don't plan on making this a tradition for the holidays. I would like to come back during daylight in the Fall, however. I'm sure it is gorgeous.”

“Absolutely loved this place, it was breathtakingly beautiful. There is a trail you follow so you don't miss anything. This was probably my favorite part of the vacation.”

“Came for the flora luna got here at 6 like I was supposed to but the flora luna stuff was closed until 7 makes no sense why even sell tickets this early if you have to wait an hour. Rock city is nice though”

“What a view! This Starbucks is absolutely beautiful, perfect location as well. Whether you're needing that morning pick me up or after hike energy this Starbucks has you covered! We went right after our Rock City experience and it was so comforting to take a seat and just reminisce the beauty we just indulged. It can get quite busy - definitely keep in mind that you might have to wait a tad longer due to high traffic due to the prime location on weekends especially.”

“It's conveniently located in the middle of the route. You can hang out and take pics while you eat. They have an outside bar for the adults, and they have a inside spot for the food. Plenty of outdoor seating take in views. Prices are reasonable.”

“Our server Paige was AWESOME! Very friendly, attentive, and professional/experienced! We enjoyed the food very much, and had a great end to end dinning experience. The hostess was also very friendly and professional! We love Wooden City and will definitely recommend it and return when we are back to the area!”

“This restaurant has great food, wonderful coattails and friendly service. We have been so disappointed in many restaurants serving “cheap versions” of authentic food but the food here was original and well prepared. My trout was perfectly cooked, my husband’s chicken pharm sandwich was delicious and the cauliflower gratin was to die for! Definitely worth checking out.”

“This was my first visit. The menu isn't crazy large but there are plenty of good options. I got the shrimp and grits and was blown away. The shrimp was in a crazy good sauce and was over the creamiest grits ever. I'll definitely be back!”

“Best hummus I have ever had. Best shrimp dish I have had in recent memory. Amazing whole branzino. Excellent bar service. Friendly and knowledgeable bartender. Best restaurant in Chattanooga? I would say so!”

“Food & drinks were off the charts amazing! Glad to have tasty gluten-free options here in town. We started with the pimento cheese & GF toast, and split the RC burger & broken potatoes for our entree. The portion of potatoes was very generous, and could easily be split between 2-3 people. Staff was friendly & attentive, even on a busy Saturday night. We ate inside for our date night, but the outdoor seating is perfect for mild weather. Highly recommend making a reservation at least a couple days in advance. Will definitely be back!”

“My wife and i come here every so often. Every experience has been enjoyable. The beers are always crisp and fresh. We haven't had a bad experience and will continue to come back. Clint (the owner/brewer ) will help you find a beer you will enjoy.”

“Excellent experience and even better food. Walked in on a whim and was greeted by the owner. He and his staff took great care of me and my friend. Had the short rib and ordered the brussel sprouts…both were exceptional. Short rib was tender, flavor was balanced and plentiful, and the sides paired well with it. The bacon on the brussel sprouts was wonderful. Great experience and will definitely go back!Parking: Parking is located in the rear. Easy to miss the alley way to access it. Small lot but can get several cars in there.”

“Great food + wonderful service!Must try baked goods! All breads made fresh & gluten free options availableVegetarian options: Tofu available as substitute - just ask & customize your orderParking: Paid parking available across the street”

“We had an amazing experience. We had JJ as our server and he was excellent & provided phenomenal service. He guided us through the menu & gave us his personal recommendations that turned out to be delicious! 10/10 experience.”

“Keilyn was our server and was absolutely on point, charming and delightful. She was very attentive and service focused so she made the experience that much better. All of the staff was very gracious. We will definitely comeback.”

“The best Indian restaurant we’ve been too. The food and service was great. Lots of options including vegan. Every dish we tried was fresh and tasted amazing. Our server didn’t steer us wrong with his recommendations. They even brought out a dessert for our daughter. Nice clean atmosphere. We will be back! Highly recommend!!”

“Amazing! Where do I even begin! The atmosphere reminiscent of a steak house I loved called Starks in Northern California. You smell the smokey wood fire smell with none of the downside. Air is clear and fresh. Kitchen is visible from most the restaraunt. Server Robbie was truly a server. He gave great suggestions and was very attentive. On his suggestion I tried the whipped feta appetizer which came with fresh made pita. I love feta but this was a whole new level with honey in the center. My husband ordered buttermilk fried chicken. It was tender and juicy on inside and nice crispy on the outside. Entrees are A la carte. I ordered the charred gem lettuce and wood oven roasted fingerling sweet potatoes. Hubbie shared all my sides and tried some of his chicken. Perfect meal! Then we ordered dessert. Because really that's why we came. My coworker raved about their tres leches cake. And it was topped with fresh whipped cream not from a can.hand whipped. Yummy. We will be back. So satisfied. Definitely fine dining but not snobby and dress as you like.”

“Chic and delicious spot in downtown Chattanooga! We came here to celebrate my sister’s birthday and had a blast. Oysters, champagne, caviar, bolognese, and more! I highly recommend checking this place out. Plus, the location is great if you want to bop around before of afterward.”

“We were lucky to snag a reservation on Saturday and were greeted by Shannon (amazing knowledge and guidance) who helped us through an extraordinary meal. We started with the Foi Gras, proceeded to share the pork belly, and then it was on to our main courses of Ossobuco and a wagyu NY strip. It was incredible, start to finish. The presentation, wine selection suggestions - there wasn't a thing I would improve. Just fantastic.”

“One of the coolest restaurants in Chattanooga. Ramen is the way to go. Tempura Shishito peppers to start, sorry no pic. Add sake, cold beers & you're in for a treat!”

“Just do it. Go and enjoy. Whether for coffee and a pastry or a breakfast skillet. This place is exceptional. Friendly staff, great food well presented and a really nice patio. Can't recommend this place enough. We travel up from Atlanta just for breakfast and it's worth every mile.”

“Our server was upbeat and informed us of all the food and srink specials which I appreciate- During our meal he filled up my sweet almost constantly !!! Food was great I'd recommend the pulled pork and Cobb salad and sweet tea thanks Wyatt ?Parking: Parking is directly next to restaurant 10$ roughly till 3 am and ate around 5 pm so plenty of time”

“What a great gem in Chattanooga! Service & atmosphere was a delight as we sat outside on heated patio.Shrimp& grits were delish & loved the detail of deviled egg on Cobb salad. Great selection of scotch & bourbon. The barkeep old fashion is a must!”

“An absolutely wonderful and authentic tapas restaurant. The food is amazing. The drinks are great, and the wine list features good, affordable Spanish wines. Conner was a great server, and the entire staff worked together to provide an evening to remember.”

“We loved the food here. You also must try their vegan sour cream! I got the meatball bowl with garlic kale. OMG.. so good! The waitress was wonderful as well. We will definitely come back!”

“Casual and family friendly atmosphere. Lots of seating options. Walk up to order and sit where you like. All of the food was delicious! That chess pie though.....holy moly!! Worth every single calorie!!!”

“Took my family here on our Spring Break vacation.The Gyro Bowl my wife and I had were delicious.Ordering was done on a touchscreen board to help speed up orders which was great.Everything tasted great and the price was good.Its located right next to the Inclined Railway so if you are waiting on your ticket time you can definitely get a good meal here.ALSO right next door is an ice-cream shop so its a one stop and done for a great meal and desert option.The place was small but cozy, I love that they decorated the ceiling tiles with Colorful patterned fabric.Would eat here again.Parking: Large pay to park lot behind this place as it located right at the Incline Railway. Get the ParkMobile app for your visit, it makes paying for parking easy.”

“This place is definitely a vibe. Very grungey atmosphere, and a good service team.The Thai chili dog is insane, the curry is good (and I'm not even a fan of curry), and the burger is one of the best I've ever had in my life. Fried rice is impeccable as well. Can't recommend more”

“Booked a reservation to celebrate my birthday with my husband. Amazing food (the ricotta bruschetta, *chef’s kiss*) & our waiter/staff was amazing! Love the dim, candlelit atmosphere. It was lovely & looking forward to coming back!”

“The environment is nice.Service is pretty good.Food: We tried tomahawk steak 32 Oz, it was good, but it’s only the steak and the sides are very expensive and the portion is not that great. Mashed potatoes ($20) and it’s like a portion for 1 person. Whatever side is around that price and is not big. I think paying that for sides is insane and it’s nothing extravagant, it’s only mashed potatoes.Crème brûlée was awesome 10/10Scenic sour cocktail was fenomenal 10/10Overall, it’s a nice place but overpriced for what you get.”
