“I always prefer the “made from scratch” & “Mom and Pop” type places instead of the big name restaurants. I happen to be looking at a Chattanooga magazine at my daughter‘s house while visiting last week and ran across a little feature on the Bluegrass Grill. Knowing I would be taking one of my daughters to lunch for her birthday while visiting, this sounded like the perfect place to try. And by golly, it certainly was the perfect place! Both of my daughters and I really enjoyed the Eggs Benedict and were pretty picky about our hollandaise sauce. My three grandsons enjoyed their pancakes and French toast and one took a chance at the jalapeño bacon and loved it. My daughters have lived in the area for several years but neither had been there before. I know they will be back and so will I during future visits! And reading the story behind the grill. What a blessing your history has been to so many people! Thank you for your compassion and your heart’s mission. That made the visit to the Bluegrass Grill even more special! God Bless you all!”

The bagels are the real deal, the tots are delicious, great options for everyone. I have loved everything I’ve tried. So far, my favorites: the French toast, the avocado toast with egg, and I love their thin crust pizza. Drinks, coffee drinks, great service - all the things that make me happy!”

“I’ve only been into this establishment twice and although I was irritated because I was unable to place a call in order so that I could walk in and grab my order, pay and then walk out, I understood that the server was by herself both times.
She completely made up for it all because she was a very kind and professional lady and I was not only impressed with her work ethic but also equally impressed at the fact that although she was overwhelmed she pushed through it all and was a server and a cook that made things happen for the customers.
This woman deserves not only a raise but also some sort of recognition from the company because it isn’t her fault that nobody wants to come to work.
Keep up the good work whatever your name is. I will be back just to see her in action again because she completely knocked it out of the ball park both times that I’ve been into this establishment.”
Chicken • $
“The chicken and biscuits from Raise the Roost inside the 7-Eleven on Newtown Road and Providence are, by far, the worst I've ever had. The chicken was either overcooked and dry, with burnt outsides and —likely due to improper fryer temperatures or incorrect timer settings. The coating was thick and cakey, indicating poor preparation. Even the green beans had no seasoning or taste. I recommend not using salt if you decide to season. To top it off, the bathrooms were in horrible and smelly condition. I would've returned the food if I had time. Thumbs down! I took pictures but you cannot upload”

Cullen, Hood O’Dell’s son, was our delivery man and the whole meal came off without a hitch! So much so that the Family gave him and O’Dell’s a standing ovation! All this for a very reasonable price!! Thank you Hood and Cullen and your team for making our Pizza Party such a special success! I’d recommend O’Dell’s for anyone planning a group event!! 5 stars!!

“We came in and there was a 40 minute wait, however the sweet girl offered us a spot at the bar and we took it because we needed coffee bad. 😃 We were served immediately and placed our order. The food was delicious but the people were amazing. Mattson and Emily took excellent care of us and we thoroughly enjoyed the conversation with them about things to do in the area. If you are offered a seat at the bar take it! 10/10 recommend! To the manager, I hope you know you have a great staff, which is rare these days. We had just left another restaurant (A.F.) because the guy behind the bar was so rude to us and our server. We walked out of there and into “Milk and Honey”. Thank you Mattson and Emily!”

“Did the hibachi grill. Fun and entertaining. Their approach is the typical hibachi sequence I’ve had across the country in a dozen restaurants. My kids loved it. Food was great and just as good as the other places. Great atmosphere. I went around 5pm on Labor Day and only had a 15 minute wait and they didn’t have all of the grills going. It’s in a strip mall but it’s a quality atmosphere inside. The yellow robot they had at the entrance was fun for my kids to play with. Friendly staff!”

“Rare 5 Star from me...place is FIRE birds!! Lawrence, our server was spectacular. Attentive and suggested great options. Both had the 3 piece combos deal. I had the grilled chicken, client had the top sirloin. Both starts with a salad, it is probably one of the best salads I've eaten in like forever. The secret ingredient is probably the candied nuts? The dressing is excellent and the lettuce and vegetables in it just made it great. My chicken was super tender, two breasts, with mashed potatoes and a melody of vegetables highly recommended. He had the top sirloin with a cheese sauce on top also mashed potatoes and broccoli and ate every last bit of food. Lastly it comes with desserts which is almost overkill because you're so stuffed from the food. I had creme de brulee cheesecake... Absolutely fantastic! He had putting bread with blueberry sauce and he tells me it is the best he's ever had anywhere in his entire life and that's a bold statement! This is a small chain and worth the visit whether you're staying near here or a local. Be prepared to be wowed.”

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!”

“Celebrating birthday. Great food. Enjoyed the birthday dessert perk. Plenty of food left over to take home. Some minor issues with service, waitress had some issues packaging our take home correctly. Actually I don't like my food being taken back to the kitchen. In the future just bring me boxes. My water glass went dry. At first, ok, then long periods of time between table visits. Ordered coffee when we got our desserts. Never came. Didn't say anything, as we'd been there well over an hour and a half, time to go. Waitress very nice, maybe having a bad evening, or new, could do better. Was still tipped well. I'd expect perfect service at JA's.”

“The gentlemen behind the counter were pleasant and helpful. We got two of the plates, and while they said it would be a ten minute wait, I do not believe it took more than five or six.
My daughter got the shrimp with regular sauce, and I got the crab & lobster with spicy sauce. When I asked if the sausage was pork, was told it was, so I told my daughter she could have mine. The lovely gentleman said he could substitute two eggs for the sausage instead.
I want everyone to know that the spicy sauce was truly DELICIOUS! It was just the right amount of heat without being distracting or overpowering, and the taste was phenomenal! After reading the great reviews, we drove down from Soddy, and it will NOT be the last time we make that drive.
The amazing flavors were well cooked into every bite, and the portion size was enough for both of us to have leftovers tomorrow.
They do have seating for four, but it appears to be mostly take out business. There was a TV in the customer area, and there was good music playing while we waited. It was absolutely worth the wait to get back home!
Extremely glad we gave this a try, and we most definitely will be going back. Many thanks!”

“Welcome to the sushi bar of the South! The sushi here was the BEST sushi that I have had since moving from New York! Here, I felt like I was at a sushi bar in mid-town Manhattan. I never had authentic ramen before and I ordered the spicy crab ramen. It was so good. I don’t like an “over-powering” spice, but a medium “kick” so you can taste that spice is “there.” That was exactly what I got! It was a “perfect” blend of spice and the crab was tender, flavorful, delicious. I would recommend this ramen dish! Service was 5-star! Felt completely catered to! Ask for Annika. You will be happy you did. She is amazing! I cannot wait to come back to Two Ten Jack!”

“This was a very long meal, 3 hours in total. Other than that I have no complaints. Intimate setting and the chef came out to speak to us about the food.
The shrimp with Ratatouille was really great. There was a tomato included stuffed with olive tapenade. Solid.
The sauce that came with the duck confit was a reduced port wine sauce. Sauce on the filet was a cognac reduction. The sauces is really made both dishes.”

“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.”

“I planned an event for a group of young girls and every single staff member went above and beyond. The manager was incredibly patient and kind and checked on my group periodically throughout the evening to make sure we were okay.
At one point we were playing laser tag with 2 older kids, and as soon as one of the older kids said something distasteful to one of my girls one of the staff members shut it down immediately.
They really did a good job helping me plan the event and even taking care of us once we were there.”

“during the floods last week I decided to try it, despite it pouring down raining, ordered a bag to go, I SPECIFICALLY said no pork sausage in it (health reasons) I get all the way home and guess what's in it? 😡 So I had to give it away, I called them and the young lady apologized and said if I bring it back (30 min drive in floodwaters) she would give me another, or if I came in later she would replace it. I came in today (with receipt) to get it and the manager told me she could only give me a 25% discount. The service is bad and the food is mediocre never again.”

“I’m from Maryland and my family mentioned this food truck. I stopped by with my mother for the ribeye tray and strawberry lemonade. When we opened our food we noticed the shrimp wasn’t there. It was a distance , so we didn’t go back. I recommend checking your plate before you leave. The food tasted scrumptious. I would order this takeout again. For 2 plates and 2 lemonades it was $91. It was pricey. Maybe they can offer someone to bring your food to your car since there was not eating seating to wait for food or a system that let you know your food was ready. You had to keep going up to see if your food was ready.”

“Great Saturday evening dinner for 3 of us. Our server Ashley was friendly and attentive. We had hot appetizers of spring rolls and a breaded shitake mushroom dish. For dinner we all had different dishes, from roll sushi to sashimi to hot entrées. Everything was delicious.
We had made a reservation a couple days earlier, and had no wait at all. It was not crowded, and probably only half full.
I've seen people comment on the cost. Our meal was $113 before tip, which I think is reasonable for good quality food in a downtown location. We don't drink so that keeps cost lower.
A good experience”

Not only did we enjoy exceptionally good jazz by this young group, the food was delectable and served in generous portions. As older women we felt very comfortable in the family atmosphere with its tasteful interior decoration and competent wait staff. Will certainly go there again”

We were able to cater in our favorite food, got to choose our own Dj and had excellent service at both the bar and on the floor. Staff was very friendly and eager to help out when needed. We even got some free line dance lessons! I would highly recommend this venue for holiday get togethers, special events or any private party.”

“I ordered out meals to eat her and some to go . The meal was cooked and bagged and put under a heated area , then our food arrived at our table . Very good food for there . Then we ordered some dessert to go which seemed to irritate the waitress . When I ordered my meal , I asked for half and half tea . I got unsweetened tea , so I asked for a empty glass and a glass of sweet tea and made my own , that also seemed to irritate her . Not sure what's going on over there , but I will not be back . I go there 2 or 3 times a year when in town . This time no way . The to go order was dropped off 20 minutes later , Dried out . Common sense cook the to go order a little later NOT AT THE SAME TIME ! 😡”

Every thing we were served was so delicious! I don’t know how they make something as simple as rice taste so amazing but - wow. The place was very clean the staff friendly and the food out of this world. if this restaurant was in our town it would absolutely be our favorite. Do yourself a favor and eat here if you can.

So good! So much food!! My husband got the corn bread (it came with honey pecan butter) and babyback ribs with loaded baked potato and onion rings. The only thing not amazing was the onion rings. Everything else was delicious!”

Pizza • $
“Me and my husband were hungry for a good old style New York style pizza and what we got Didn't even come close!! It was the most disgusting pizza and food we have ever had!!! The Red Marina sauce and the meatballs are so spicy they will make your eyes water and your nose run. The garlic knots were just soaking in olive oil and butter so bad I could of rung them.out like a wet dish towel. I had a GI tear a few months ago that I almost lost my life to, and this definitely triggered my stomach issue. Then on top of that Our pizza costed almost $32 dollars, they had a TEENAGER as a manager and he was trying to get us to order a salad or appetizer in place of the pizza so he didn't lose money on their lousy nasty food,rather than refund us our money back, which we weren't refunded our bill. I WILL NOT EVER COME BACK This place should have a 1 rating or out of business!!!!!!”

“The quesabirrias: crispy, cheese-packed tortillas slow-cooked beef birria, with a side of consommé that deserves its own award. Each bite is a glorious mess of melty cheese and bold spice, and yes, you will end up dipping everything on your plate into that broth. The beans were not the usual mashed pintos. They had a bold flavor that made us bag some extra up to go! Also, their chips and salsa are to die for. The staff is friendly, the portions are generous. 5/5 stars – Already planning my next trip back.”
