“My wife and I have eaten at many bbq's around the Chattanooga, Tn area. Big Dan's BBQ is by far the best we have ever had. The pulled pork and chicken is very moist and flavorful. The baked beans are to die for so good! The slaw was also a home run best I have ever eaten. If you want the best get Big Dan's BBQ!“

“Fantastic ribs and friendly service.“

“🤯 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.“

“Hi Choo Choo management and staff……. I’m from Massachusetts and today I had my first Tennessee barbecue from your establishment…….I don’t need to try barbecue anywhere else in Tennessee….. I had the pork ribs…… it was absolutely amazing……if I die today I die a happy man…….thank you for your expertise…… keep up the good work……. Simply amazing……..please share with your staff“

“Definitely a must try of long term staple local restaurants. We ordered in the back at a small building w a walk up window on the back side of the building with the sign on MLK. The woman who took the order was very patient and nice. The woman was super nice and brought us our food to the car when it was ready which I thought was superb customer service. Got a small weenie on chilli plate with Cole slaw and it came w three rolls, hot sauce, and mustard. I ended up making sandwiches out of the contents of the box. Everything was tasty to me except wasn’t a big fan of the slaw taste, it had a very sauer kraut taste to it. Reminded me of Beenie weenies since I had never tried it before. Would like to try their other offerings. For two dinners and a large drink it was $32. Love the location in the heart of the city! Would definitely recommend going and marking it off your bucket list if you haven’t already.“

“We used their catering service for my parents’ anniversary party. The food was great and the service excellent. They delivered the food and set it up for us. They made it easy. We highly recommend their catering service!“

“Best BBQ and most friendly atmosphere. Would recommend to anyone who loves bbq, especially the ribs.“

“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“

“The food was delicious but our server made the experience awesome! We enjoyed downtown Chattanooga and then went to eat at Sticky Fingers and Layla took great care of us. We would definitely come again.“

“Kristine was an amazing server we will definitely be back thanks for the great experience!“

“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.“

“My favorite is the revueltas pupusas with the slaw and green sauce and a touch of hot sauce. 🙌 The horchata is fabulous too.“

“Colby at the check in recommended the Brunch became we were too late for dinner late Saturday night. We came back Sunday because of his descriptions of the delicious food. Colby, it was just as you sad, wonderful. Josh our bartender was great. Thank you Josh for.the Painkillers. Phenomenal drinks a must if.you are eating at Clyde's. Our server Cardigan greeted us at the front.door. She offered suggestions from the menu.as this was our first visit to Clyde's. Everything was over the top!! Texas travelers love Clyde's.“

“Chattanooga is fortunate to have such an authentic option for Jamaican cuisine. This place nails it every time!!!“

“Love it .so yummy . Very fast and good“

“I’m a very picky eater and when a friend suggested my husband and I eat at Haven’s with him we agreed. My husband had meatloaf, okra, cabbage with a corn muffin and I had the fried chicken wings, mashed potatoes, black eyed peas with a corn muffin. Every single thing we ate was the best we have ever tasted!! I couldn’t believe it. Our friend ordered the pork chops and could only eat one so my husband got to eat the other one. Seriously, it was hard to leave there with out ordering two or three meals to go. Since we live in Cleveland Haven's will see us at LEAST once a week. The girls there are precious and the food is cooked after you order. Such a Fantastic place!!!“

“Great place loved the wings“

“Amazing food and variety. Short ribs tend to be the best. Even side dishes like dumplings and rice cakes are very tasty.“

“Good food for a reasonable price. *(Great atmosphere, too!)“

“Had a great meal and great service. Would go there again!“

“Excellent food and staff.“
