50 Best Vegan Restaurants in Chattanooga

“Awesome vegan menu and prices are as reasonable as it gets. The BBQ Jackfruit Nachos are FIRE! 👍👍👍👍👍“

“Perfection. Just lovely food, people, service and more. Their fall special squash soup and pumpkin spice latte are heavenly. I literally started reviewing as I'm enjoying it and I have never done that in my years of giving stars. Just wonderful. I'm vegetarian and this place is healing. You absolutely, unequivocally, unmistakably MUST come by and grab something. I doubt they make a single bad thing, just from the incredible goodness I'm eating right now.“

“Welcoming, relaxing environment with top tier Service and products“

“soooo good! I'm a traveling musician and it's always hard to find good vegan grub on the road but dang this spot was worth the pit stop for sure! I had the fish sandwich and carrot salad and i got one of evey desert they had just ya know.... for the road 😏. 10/10 ...that brownie set a whole new bar. My only complaint is that i wish yall were closer to Nashville ❤️🤘“

“Great little family owned restaurant. A group of 4 of us stopped on our way through from Florida and we will be back! Menu has something for everything and it was all delicious!“

“My husband and I were gifted some gifts cards and came tonight. The atmosphere is different for us but it was pleasant. The food was FANTASTIC and our server Jess was phenomenal! We asked so many questions and she knew all the answers. I had the spaghetti à la Americana and it was so flavorful and Smokey and absolutely delicious. My husband had the 2 layer lasagna and we were amazed at not only the size of it but the taste. We also shared the flourless chocolate cake with gelato and it was magnificent! Overall if we could star this 100x we would.“

“The food is delicious and the staff never fail to be amazing. Adam the manager runs an amazing team of awesome gauchos! 10/10 will definitely come back again!

EDIT: November 23rd, 2025 - it's my birthday, and yet again Adam and the Rodizio staff have knocked it out of the park. My husband loves the Hearts of Palm, and though it wasn't out on the bar, Adam went out of his way to get some for us. Kevin (one of the Gauchos) made sure the type of meat we were hoping for was brought around quickly. Awesome experience here every time!“

“Incredible dinner last night at Wooden City, had a group of 7 and everything was perfect - food, service, drinks, atmosphere. It was slammed busy on a Saturday night but zero hiccups with food or service. Perfect location, can’t wait to go back.“

“The ambiance is warm without trying too hard, a careful blend of rustic authenticity and modern polish. Exposed brick walls and wood accents create a sense of coziness, while subtle industrial elements give the space a contemporary edge. Lighting is perfectly tuned—dim enough to feel intimate, yet bright enough to spotlight the visual splendor of each dish that leaves the open kitchen. The faint aroma of wood smoke greets you immediately, promising that something special awaits.“

“Wonderful atmosphere, servers and food: can’t go wrong 😊✅“

“The food was exceptional but the experience was top notch bc of our server Ray. She was very friendly, very knowledgeable of the food, went above and beyond for us and her fellow servers to help when things got busy. Best service we’ve had in a long time. Overall, one of my favorite spots we have eaten at in Chattanooga. Highly recommend and ask for Ray!“

“This is exactly what I wanted! Brisket that is cooked perfectly without excessive greasiness and tender good. Tried the smoke bologna and that stuff is good too! The collard greens are excellent with a hint of heat. The Mac n’ Cheese is incredible too. This was a great meal at a good price. We will come back when we are in town.“

“This is hands down the best restaurant we have ever ate at!! Been here three times this week and we are going back tonight to eat one more time before we leave hopefully Julius is working when we get there cause he was the best waiter I have ever had!“

“Lo Main, located in the friendly neighborhood of Ridgedale in Chattanooga, TN. is like the first time you smelled pancakes in the morning made by someone you love, wrapped in a warm, consensual hug while your favorite team wins the championship with a winning lottery ticket in your pocket. Best“

“Simply delicious, especially considering I had a healthy option, namely the Protein Scramble. They were nice enough to accommodate my request for 1 whole egg and 2 egg whites in the scramble. The addition of the goat cheese is not one I would have thought of, but a welcome addition nonetheless. Added bonus is that the coffee here is more than decent.“

“The best vegan meal! Thank you for making us a delicious lunch on our way home from the Smokies! My gut and body needed that💝“

Tell your friends.“

“Grungy vegan spot with amazing food that feels like your grandparents from the south walked out the kitchen with it after pouring love galore into it.

Also the service was so down to earth and excellent.“

“This has become our go to for date night. It is getting harder to try different things when each time we have gone we have had the "favorite" dish. I am shellfish lover and husband meat and potatoes. The variety of meats and seafood as well as the various ways they prepare them are stellar. The quality and presentation is unmatched. Bridgeman's, St. John's, Hennen's move over there is a new leader of the pack!“

“Wonderful service, atmosphere, and food!!! highly recommend!!!“

“Ordered pickup an egg sandwhich with lettuce, tomato on sourdough toasted with chips. Excellent quality and was toasted to perfection while also all ingredients were cold. Sandwhich is so filling that I was only able to eat half of it in one seating. Will definitely be back time and time again, this place is a gem tucked away on the backside of downtown Chatt. Thank yall!“

“Great food! Friendly service. Love watching the sunset from the newly covered patio area.“

“Great ice cream and fun atmosphere“

“The bartender allowed us to sit 5 minutes before close (we didn’t even realize). We didn’t know what we wanted and he jumped at the opportunity to recommend drinks of his own creation. He nailed it and we walked out after an enjoyable conversation completely satisfied.“

“oh my GOSH! Not only is it the most amazing pizza I've ever had, but they are without a doubt some of the friendliest people I've met! Quin was amazing making my son Quin's Kids Calzone and it was PERFECT! We will definitely be coming back! 🖤“
