50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Chattanooga

“Great pasta, outstanding appetizers. Atmosphere and service are top notch. Highly recommend. Will return next time we’re back in Chattanooga.“

“10/10 recommended. I didn't get our servers name but she was the kindest gal. The food and drinks were on point and because we were there for a late birthday celebration she brought me out the best chocolate custard.“

“Experience beyond anything that you have had anywhere else. Home made-to-order baked goods and dishes by JoanMarie herself and her Daughter and staff. Stop by E. Main St. Chattanooga for a delicious meal made with extra ❤️ love!“

“Outstanding Customerservice! Everyone is just so nice and professional. And the food is incredible.“

“Great place to celebrate an occasion or just have a nice dinner! Fantastic special cocktails, tasty entrees and amazing desserts!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Absolutely excellent! My husband and I are foodies, but also really cherish a great experience, and you get both here. Our server, Lucas, was excellent. I have a dairy allergy as well, and the manager gave me the ingredient book so that I could easily look to see what I could and couldn’t eat. I could eat mostly everything, thankfully! Absolutely excellent experience, 10/10 would recommend.“

“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“

“Amazing customer service Audrey and Andrew welcomed us like family and we will definitely be back, especially for pizza and trivia with the kids!!“

“Love the vibe, service and food! Always a great place to take friends!“

“Had a great Brunch. Lisa Marie was the best!“

“We first encountered Uncle Larry's at a UTC game (food truck) a couple of years ago, so we wanted to try it again. I went to the E Brainerd location and placed a take-out order when I arrived. All of the staff I encountered were so nice and even gave me a sample of one of the desserts before I ordered it. I ordered two catfish plates, one order of fried green tomatoes, a slice of key lime pie, and a slice of cinnacrack cake. Oh my goodness, ALL of it was so good and so filling! The catfish filets didn't need any hot sauce or tartar, they were just wonderfully flavored. And the desserts? Amazing! We will absolutely be back.“

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

“Frickin’ love this place! Cas, the bartender gets it! She is a customer service pro! Very friendly, very efficient, and very good at what she does! Good to see Avery over here! Nice surprise, since she is usually at the Northshore location. But we miss Marissa while she’s gone, as well!

We will be back, best pizza/service in Chatt!!“

“Omgoodness this is a wonderful 100% vegan restaurant. The brunch Sunday was amazing. A friend suggested this to us and we're so glad she did. We had the 2 tofu scramble tacos with a side salad and a cup of fruit. We shared it cause we were going to a friend's house and just needed something to tide us over. I'm glad we shared it cause it would have filled me up. Can't wait to be back in Chattanooga again.“

“The food was great and the staff was nice.“

“We both had the Lone Star Brisket Hash and it was amazing…..all my fav ingredients.!!🧡“

“Good night, y'all! The food here is GOOD! We had the Crab Cakes and the French Creole Pasta. The seasoning and sauce is where it's at. The crab cakes on top of the dirty rice with collards was so flavorful and delicious. And the seafood to penne to sauce on the pasta dish was spot on. I spooned up as much sauce as I could once the rest was gone. The chef brought out our dinner and then later the bread pudding. I've been curious about N'Awlins bread pudding, and this was a great introduction! The dish was 4 fried dough balls dusted with powdered suger served in a little iron skillet. The flavor that night was blueberry--so yummy! Thanks, y'all!“

“Great place! Awesome staff! Highly recommended everything about it!“

“My loving partner took me here for the first time for our date night, because I love Greek food. This restaurant was amazingly wonderful and delicious! He ordered us the lamb lollipops which were perfectly cooked and topped with homemade pesto were incredible and accompanied with house made tzatziki sauce. I had the Greek combo plate, Pastitsio, moussaka, gyro meat & stuffed grape leaves and everything was delicious. The restaurants matriarch came to our table and asked us how everything was, which was such a treat. We took dessert home, I chose the Baklava and he chose the turtle cheesecake. They both were so delicious, I grew up eating my mother’s Baklava and this rivaled it and he said the cheesecake was better than Cheesecake Factory’s, I agreed! If you’re looking for amazing Greek food this is the place! Don’t forget dessert, their bakery style dessert display at the front is something to behold!“

And Today we found it at Southside Pizza, we ordered 2 slices to eat in, one bite and I knew I had to order a 20 inch pie to take home. although it takes 40+ minutes to get there, this will now be our pizza place ! Excellent service and very friendly staff.
