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.”

“Stood at the counter for 18 minutes. I was the only one inside. Two people running the window with 2 cars in line that had already ordered. I had decided to give them 20 minutes then I was going to leave. 18 minutes in someone walking by finally noticed me and came to take my order. She was not pleasant at all and acted like I was a bother. She never smiled or greeted me. All she said was what you want. I gave her my order. The order took no time at all to get ( like less than a minute). She handed me my order never said a word, turned and went to the back. I don't know if she was having a bad day or if that is her personality, but if you are going to be working with the public you have to put things away and be polite to your customers. I know because I work with the public.
Thank you for listening. Just to be clear I like Krystal but I definitely want be visiting this one again.”

“I was the only person in the room when I walked in. The waitress was friendly and we had a good conversation.

“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.”

“Came to Chattanooga last year, stopped by for a latte and iced coffee marked them down as a must have when in the area. Fast forward to this year I had a bag of coffee shipped to me, I must say I once again am pleased with the quality. I would enjoy a sample pack if that's something you would put together one day; nevertheless, I'll be ordering again once this bag is gone. Thank you for the attention to quality!”

“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.”

“Armandos of East Brainerd is such a friendly and inviting atmosphere. They really care about making your experience enjoyable and it feels like you are a guest at family’s house. I usually get the Chicken Tenders with BBQ sauce and seasoned tots and they are the best I’ve ever had. The wait staff is always great and making sure that we have everything we need. The owners are awesome people too! I can’t recommend Armandos of East Brainerd enough. Do yourself a favor and stop on in for a very affordable, filling, and delicious meal. I still don’t know how they deliver the quality and quantity they do for that price! 😃”

“Backtracked off I24 outside Chattanooga on our trip between MO and NC. Googled chef salads near me and found Odell’s. Wasn’t sure about it not knowing the area but when we saw how cute and clean it was we decided to try it. Best decision we could’ve made. I got my chef salad which was the best I ever had. Hubby had turkey sandwich and son had pizza and shake. Everything so AWESOME!!! The owner and chef came over to chat with us. I told my husband I want to make it a point to stop in again on the way back thru. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!!!”
Vegan • $
“Hands down the best smoothies in Chatt.
After trying smoothies and bowls at all the local raw bar spots, Real Roots definitely takes the win for best overall. The quality for the price is amazing, especially when you look at their competitors who aren’t making anything near as tasty and charge what feels like double. It’s been my go to for a few years now. I moved out of state to a big city and was blown away after a recent visit to get my go to bowl while out visiting friends. I didn’t realize just how good this place is until leaving and coming back. You’ll definitely find me stopping by every time I’m in town.
For reference, I always get The Peak bowl. Maybe one day I’ll branch out and get some of their food (a temptation every visit) but man the bowls are just SO good.”

“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!”

“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!”

“We had an incredible experience today at Chao’s Mongolian Grill. We have been a few times and the food has always been good and the staff has been friendly but today an employee (I believe he may have been a manager) stopped me as I was gathering some things for my son to go out to the car and feed him while we waited for our food to be done. He insisted that it was too cold to go back outside and wanted to make sure our son was comfortable and able to eat. He pulled a chair in the private dining area out of sight and told my husband he would come and get him if anyone were to need the space before our son finished eating. It was above and beyond considerate to accommodate us and make sure we were taken care of! We appreciated it so much! Thank you for making this mamas life a little bit easier today! We will absolutely be back.”

We started with the fried green tomatoes with pimento cheese and the award winning wings. They were some of the best wings we have ever had. Perfectly seasoned and double fried. My fiancé had the 1885 Burger and I chose the lightly battered and fried flounder with a side of mac and cheese. His burger looked and tasted amazing. It was a big and juicy burger cooked a perfect medium temp. My flounder we absolutely delicious. So light and fresh. The Mac and cheese was real Mac and cheese.

“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.”

“The food was amazing. Everyone in my party thoroughly enjoyed every meal we ordered! With only a few exceptions. 1. The sign out front advertised a $108 Mother’s Day special but when my parents went to order it they were told that it wasn’t available tonight. It was a typo on the board. 2. My sister, who is on a keto diet, ordered the 88 salad only to be told that they were out of salad. 3. After our dinner, my brother-in-law ordered a piece of key lime pie for my mom but once again we were told that they were out of key lime! So as great as the food is, and it was delicious, management really needs to get a better grip on what is in stock and what needs to be ordered especially on a holiday weekend!! Thank you for a great meal!!”

“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 was on the hunt for some authentic Tacos and decided to give Taqueria la Monaraca a try. I was greeted by a friendly welcoming host.. I ordered 2 al pastor tacos and the seasoning was just right.. not too overpowering..Homemade tortillas were heaven..they were a light consistency ... It was like eating a cloud taco 💯 amazing..I got a red salsa($picy on the tongue🔥🔥) but I like it hot. Green salsa had a nice mild flavor. They take phone, take out and sit down orders. I really liked and enjoyed the taqueria vibe and decor. Hey if you enjoy authentic Mexican food I would totally recommend. The mom and pop places are the best and I'm glad I rolled the dice and took a chance. I will be back Taqueria la Monaraca.”

“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.”

“This is a great place for private events. I had my wife’s 40th bday party here and we had the best time. Nice open space with great decorations and several large tvs to watch ball games. 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 ! 😡”

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!”

“I stopped here in May with a friend when traveling through Chattanooga. we were not familiar with Honduran food and we’re hesitant even after entering the restaurant and reviewing the menu. we bought a meal to split and were incredibly surprised at the beautiful flavors we experienced. 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. Hurry! :)”

“🤯 we love to try bbq anywhere we go and sugars is definitely one you should stop in and try when you’re in Chattanooga. We got the ribs, sampler taco, brisket poppers, fried grilled corn, and spicy okra chips. The brisket popper is a jalapeño popper filled with cheese brisket and topped with I believe their house salsa- so flavorful. The taco sampler comes with a brisket, pulled pork and chicken taco. Each taco has cilantro, onion and radish and a crema or aioli sauce. My favorite was the brisket then the pulled pork. The. The ribs which were delicious and perfectly cooked without any sauce we sampled all of the sauces on a bite and our favorite was the red wine vinegar and chili sauce. So unique. Everything was unexpected but delicious. So happy we stopped in for lunch.”

“A brunch all day restaurant is the perfect addition to the southside. I walk here, but there is a nice free parking lot adjacent. 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!”
