Our server Chris went above and beyond! The whole staff is wonderful it'd be hard to write everyone's names down. But the food is absolutely fantastic and such a welcomed edition to Chattanooga. Offering a unique and vibrant menu. The cocktails are delicious and innovative and the bar boasts a large variety of mezcal and other agave spirits.
Parking: The parking lot dedicated to the building can fill up fast, but if you go around to the Food City parking lot there is a walkway between the fence.

Went for a later dinner at around 7pm on a Saturday. Seating for two was quick if you didn't mind either inside or outside.
The atmosphere was rather loud inside due to cozy seating arrangements and music.
The food came out piecemeal, but arrived as soon as it was cooked. The charred broccoli was delightful and had shredded cheese on top, a slice of pork belly underneath, and pieces of sautéed yams and small cherry tomatoes included.
All entrees included a warm napkin filled with small 4-5 inch tortillas to make your own taco/burritos.
Food also came with a trio of pickles, salsa, and crema, all made in house. The crema especially was silky smooth and delicious.
We ordered also the brisket, which wqs so tender it could be pulled apart with a single fork.
We did also order the Yuca Frites, as we weren't sure how big the small plates would be, but while the frites and it's chipotle mayo dipping sauce was delicious, it was a lot for two people unless you come hungry.
For a small dish, a medium dish, and a large dish, no drinks, came to about $50 for two people.
The only lack of a star is for noise level. It also carried a constant smell of campfire, which isn't necessarily a bad thing unless you're sensitive to that sort of smell.
Overall, delightful, definitely a consideration for a special date night. Might not recommend taking kids as the space doesn't seem conducive to it.
Kid-friendliness: While there is seating for kids, the menu is adventurous for kids under age 10. There wasn't a kids menu to speak of, though the shared plates may encourage them to try new things.

We loved eating here! The servers were really great and the food was so good. We love finding places that have smaller or rotating menus and unique dishes. Literally, everything was good. Highly recommend!

Second time here in our one week vacation!! Amazing service tonight (Chris) and fabulous food !! Met Rob (the manager) to tell him his servers get it !! They work as a team to make the customers experience great !! The ribs , house made tostados, wings, chicken fajitas and more are really all outstanding ! The atmosphere is upbeat and fun adding to the experience!! The young lady who was our server the first night of our vacation (I'm sorry I didn't get her name) even came over to us tonight and remembered us ! She was awesome and welcomed us that first night !!
This is a place you should try and believe me, you will be glad you did!!

We ordered the menu, yes the entire menu on a recent Saturday night, for a group of 9 hungry adults. The food flowed to our table, a few delicious courses at a time, at a pace that allowed us to enjoy our beverages and family time perfectly. For the foodies at the table, not a dish disappointed. Special shout out to Dion our server, he helped make the meal memorable. Seriously, probably the best meal and experience we have had as a family.

I’m a huge fan of Little Coyote! Each time we’ve eaten here we’ve had amazing food and outstanding service. Our favorite spot is at the bar as the bartenders are always amazing, and offer great recommendations on food, drinks, and spirits. If you love the ribs at Main Street Meats (and you should), you’re going to want to get the ribs here. But don’t stop there, everything is great (especially the catfish OMG!). The cocktails are stellar (get a spicy Ranch Water) and whatever you do, save room for ice cream.

Incredible food and drinks! My wife and I stopped in for just drinks, but ended up staying for dinner because the food was so fantastic. If you appreciate the art of BBQ, you will enjoy this spot. It is a must if you are in the St. Elmo neighborhood.

They make an AMAZING old fashioned. Friendly staff. The patio is one of the best in town! With the cooler weather; perfect place to hang out.
Food is great!! Lots of choices to choose from… they are very accommodating.
It’s a must try!

This has easily become one of our absolute favorite restaurants in Chattanooga. Anytime we have anything to celebrate we head to Little coyote as a cute little reward for a life well lived. The drinks are a dream (don’t you dare sleep on their frozen drinks), the staff are so kind, the food is prompt and wildly delicious — we’ve had a ton of options over the last year, but wow their ribs, their monkfish, octopus, and tomato salad are sublime, also the new bar snacks in little jars are a delight — everything is so fresh and you can tell the chefs certainly know their way around a kitchen. We usually sit at the bar, and all of the bartenders are so great, but Trevor, more affectionately known as “beef cheeks” - or so we’ve been told - has never not shown us a good time and we’re always glad to walk through the door and see our good sir behind the bar making dreams come true. Big fat chef’s kiss to this place.

Over priced food, tiny portions, the brisket was good, other than that it was a terrible dining experience. The enchiladas were a big disappointment, the stuffed avocado was decent, the chicken wings were terrible, the chicken was also very disappointing. The waiter tried to upsell and take control of what we were eating.

We came in a little late in the evening on Friday and left close to closing time, with that being said I really can’t say enough good things about the food and service we received!!!! Dion was our server and man that guy knows his stuff, he was extremely helpful with any of our questions and made the meal an experience!!!! The food was amazing!!!! Will definitely be back!!!!!
Stopped in 10/6/24, had EXCELLENT service from Chris. He did awesome on guidance with the tequila old fashioned. Then the food selections were next. I was hungry but knew I do better with small samples of everything. After receiving my first initial choices, Chloe came along. I then had 2 servers. Chris was the melt of my foodie heart. He even made sure I didn’t have any food allergies before turning the food order in. I travel all across the US and love high end restaurants. This server was thorough with his explanation of the liquor and food. The crème was so yummy, guacamole was smooth like whipped butter, and so much more. Matter fact I just can’t stop there. I had the tuna tostada, octopus, with the tequila old fashion. Then added the tomato salad and topped off with the spicy margarita with tajin. Immediately recognized that was in house tajin. I left full and so pleased with my service and food. Thank you!
