“I once had the Tonkotsu Ramen here on vacation and it was so good that it broke me. I spent 3 weeks trying to recreate the flavor/broth with 4 different attempts and it didn't even come close. I dream of the broth. I had a friend move from Washington all the way to Atlanta. He had to pass through Chattanooga. He had been driving for 10 hours at that point of the day, and I was willing to pay him exorbitant amounts to stop and get as much of their tonkotsu ramen broth as physically possible to bring me. I cannot express how much I still think about this Ramen, and that was half a decade ago.“

“Excellent service from Darius. Drinks were delicious and the recommended octopus was the best I’ve had .“

“I'll keep this simple, as I just came in from the rain to have a glass of wine while it passes: do not get the rosé! Don't. It's... well it's a horrific acidic, bitter, cheap-tasting mess of a wine. I'm seriously laughing to myself at how much garbage it is.Otherwise, the place has a cute vibe and the bartender is friendly.“

“great food and drinks! we went out for my birthday dinner. we had the tropical Margherita and frozen blood orange swirl, and they were the best drinks we've ever had at a restaurant. the Philly burrito and the spicy burrito were phenomenal, and the churros were so good I will ask for those over a birthday cake any day. absolutely 100% recommend and we will definitely be back.“

“Service was fantastic! Great food and a very nice atmosphere.“

“If you stay at hotel bo, (which you should) DEFINITELY DO NOT MISS OUT ON BREAKFAST AT TGE DOWNTOWNER!!!!! When i tell, these breakfast sandwiches are delish, im not lying! I skipped dinner my last night to be sure to wake up hungry so i wouldn't miss out on check out day!“

“Of the food places we have visited on our trip here this one has given us the best flavor. We both got the cheese burger animal style and they were absolutely BANGING!! 10 out of 10 recommended. We also both got the garlic Parmesan fries. Mine were incredible. The flavors were intense but worth it. So good. My partners were really heavy handed with the garlic but I finished them for him lol. If you are a vampire or don’t like intense flavor be warned. Otherwise this is the place to eat in Chattanooga.“

“Came here to celebrate a friends birthday and the service and ambiance were fantastic. The staff was so friendly, especially Jon and the bartender Dana who went above and beyond to accommodate our birthday surprises and made it a day we will always remember. The drink specials are unparalleled and the regulars were a TREAT. There's a certain je ne se quis to this bar, and we love it“

“We’ve eaten at Drakes, Chattanooga, since it’s opening and never been disappointed until today when a customer brought a dog inside to the inside “patio” seated at the table next to us. The dog was hyper and the man kept scratching it. Next a female joined him and began scratching the dog. The waiter reached down and also scratched the dog. Next time the waiter came by, the dog jumped up on her and again she scratched the dog. We asked to move inside to an empty booth. After we moved the man brought in another dog. Why were dogs allowed in the restaurant? They were NOT service dogs.“

“I reserved a table for dinner with my beloved, as we both love jazz. The night at The Forge did not disappoint. The music, the atmosphere, casual but still elegant and charming, the food, delicious, the service, excellent and yes, we will return!“

“Had a fantastic meal and wonderful service. The only negative would be the hostess. Not the most attentive when we checked in and then she took us to our table. We were given option of a two seater right between the only two occupied tables in the dining room or a two seater against the wall near the restrooms. Given it was early I thought maybe the 4 seaters were all booked but at end of night they were still fairly empty when we left.“

“It was 30minutes before closing time and the staff was kind enough to sell my boyfriend and I the breadsticks they had left. The staff was so welcoming regardless of us arriving so close to closing and I greatly appreciated it. I would 100% return again and hopefully not so close to closing haha.“

“Establishment owned by a retired United States Marine. Great food and excellent service. Highly recommended!“

“Very good food. Tyler was on his game today taking care of us. Highly recommended, and we WILL be back!!!

Parking: Only negative i have is pay for parking at most every location. Premium paid for whatever you want to do and have to pay for parking as well.“

“I’ve been here multiple times. I have never been disappointed. Moving from Memphis I still have my favorite Mexican place. But I am happy to say this and all of the restaurants affiliated with 423 are great and i recommend each one. The staff are always friendly and helpful. They don’t hover and rush you. Very nice, comfortable place to have lunch or dinner. In fact I’m going this weekend with some friends.“

“Great food... excellent Gluten Free options! The staff is always so friendly and they go above & beyond to keep me safe. I've never had any problems eating there and I always recommend to fellow gf people. Taco Mamacita 10/10!!!“
