“My husband and I were visiting Chattanooga and ended up here one night. Fantastic decor, ambiance, service and drinks. We went during the week and it was quiet, nice to sit and chat. Love the couches and chairs, nice and comfy! The bartender apologized because their speakers were out, and music was playing, just not loudly. Maybe it's normally louder.“
“Jack Brown’s Beer and Burger is always great no matter the location we visit. Burgers and service is stellar.Side Note: do not sit where you can see the kitchen…sideline staff handling personal phone, eating fries, grapes and scratching upper body with same gloves on that food is being handled with. “
“A gem in Chattanooga's crown. Awesome people in an great location. Staff is world class and the space is great and about to get even better. We will be back and will send all our cat lovers here! It's places like this that make people proud to live in this growing city. The new owner Josh is about to take this place to the next level and we can't wait to support that journey.“
“I enjoy and appreciate a solid brewery like this. I currently reside in Southern Alabama, and the local beer there is lousy at best. This place a pretty good selection, has a lot of space, and they even allow dogs. Also have a food service. Had the KFC (Korean fried chicken) sandwhich and smash burger. I've been to South Korea, and the KFC there is amazing. Their twist on it here wasn't as good in Korea, and it was just a bit too salty. The other flavors were ok. The beer was real good. Its been a while since I've had a decent micro brew, and this hits the spot. Easy access, but parking can be a challenge. All in all, solid place to sit down, chill, and enjoy a good brew.“
“This is such a gem in Chattanooga! I love the variety and selection of beer - definitely well thought out selection of beer and types you won’t find anywhere else in the area. Great downtown historic vibe and atmosphere - the people are very helpful and help you understand the way the taproom works. Highly recommend for anyone in the area!“
“Best fried chicken you can get anywhere! Don’t even get me started on the fried pickles though! Do yourself a favor to save some time and just order to orders right away and watch them disappear. Grab a 40oz and a coozie to go with it all! Don’t forget your sides!“
“This new location is perfect. I really dug the additional space and talk ceiling. My local spot off Lee Highway could use an expansion. The grilled chicken on my salad had a kick off spice and it was a welcome change. Also noticed this location has liquor. I hope to try in the future.“
“Best chicken I've eaten in a long time. Although not same space as KFC, fast food v. sit down, flavor was amazing. Offerings were spread enough to please the kids but narrow enough to maintain their speciality. If you move to Eastern NC, please let us know. Btw.... I took the left over slaw home, yeah it was that good.“
“A quick edit: Chris, from the Tap House wrote one of the best responses to my review I have ever seen. He was not defensive. I added a star.Cold and a bit depressing inside with a server who is not knowledgeable about the beers.Why three stars?1. I’m sure this place is packed and lively in the evening, but I came in on Friday around 1 PM, and it was really empty and cold. I know that this is an older building with high ceilings and glass windows, but it was freezing. I probably should’ve just left, but I thought once I had a beer and some food in me, I would warm up. I did not. It was really chilly the entire time.2. I will say my server was initially attentive. She was very nice. But it was only me and two other tables…the entire time. And she just didn’t appear again except to bring the food. The place had only three seated tables out of several, and two people working, thus, the server should’ve been much more present. (See the photo I took of no one behind the bar). Later, I saw the two servers way off to the side, talking to each other, behind the bar. But if you’re looking to catch a server’s eye to refill water or anything else, it’s really awkward when you have to go up and start looking around for her. At a minimum, I should not have to be flagging her down, very, very minimum she should at least be visible somewhere in the restaurant so that if I do have to walk around, I can find her.She asked me what I wanted to drink, and then disappeared, did not offer much advice on the beer at all, even though I told her I was from Asheville (a big beer town) and I asked if she had any High gravity, and she said,“just scan the QR code.” I told her what type of beer I liked, and I asked for suggestions, and again she said, “Scan it and you’ll see a list.” She wasn’t offering any advice on any beers and I found it really unusual in a bar that is so beer focused…And so empty. It’s not as if she had to rush off to a bunch of other tables. I really expect my bartenders/servers (at a place known for beers) to say “this has some undertones of this” or “this one’s a little grassy“ or “this is a nice hoppy IPA, but it’s a bit cloudy.“ But she wanted me to do my own research and just told me to scan the QR code. Again, with no one here, she could’ve walked me through some of the beers. Since I did not have any recommendations, I thought I would have a flight, and even then, when I was saying, “what about this one?” she told me to write down the numbers. Maybe I’m spoiled from living in Asheville, but I am really accustomed to the bartenders telling me the details about the beers when I ask a question. And this is a place that… does… Beers. I just really expected to have a conversation about it, and that’s one of the reasons I came in. The server seem to know absolutely nothing about the offerings.3. Terrible Wi-Fi. It is free Wi-Fi, but the entire time I had less than one bar. It made it tricky, because I needed to contact a couple of people and get a few things done, but it was really really bad Wi-Fi. I know this is not a business or a café or people that come to get the work done, but hopefully with the Wi-Fi you should have at least two bars.4. Food. Here is the real reason for three stars. I really did not enjoy the food. I would never give a three star review to a place just because the Wi-Fi was spotty and it was cold. Or even if the server was not knowledgeable. But the food was really disappointing. I ordered the boneless wings, and the barbecue sauce that covered them seemed rather generic, and they felt a bit soggy and they were cold! The blue cheese was runny and not chunky and they were $20! For a pound basket. I ordered a pound so I could have some to take home. And I really wish I had only ordered a half a pound. They just weren’t good. I’ve had boneless wings all over the place, and these tasted like something that you would get that were frozen and then thawed out and just slathered in some sauce. The sauce was too heavy, the wings were not crispy and good. The sauce weighed them down.“
“I really hate it when servers trick you into ordering extras. I ordered the reuben. The server said "fries or chips with that?" So I assumed it came with one or the other. Nope, got hit with an extra $5 charge for the "fries." I paid $20 for a reuben and some potatoe wedge things (not even actual fries). Ouch.Just wanted to share my experience so others don't fall for the River Drift Fry Grift.“
