New American Restaurants in Chattanooga, TN

“Highly recommend this place, outstanding food and service and fair prices.“

“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.“

“Dinner was wonderful and they made it very special. Our server was amazing. We got to try new food that was spectacular. The server recommended so many good items from the menu. We will certainly be back for more!“

“Victoria Rose is an excellent server. She has a great personality and strives to provide a great dining experience.“

“Incredible dinner last night at Wooden City, had a group of 7 and everything was perfect - food, service, drinks, atmosphere. It was slammed busy on a Saturday night but zero hiccups with food or service. Perfect location, can’t wait to go back.“

“We visited the area for the first time since this gem opened. We had such an enjoyable experience and meal at the chef’s counter Friday night that we sat there again for Sunday brunch. We really enjoyed the staff and how committed and excited they are to put really great food out of the kitchen. We will definitely come back when we visit the area!“

“The food was exceptional but the experience was top notch bc of our server Ray. She was very friendly, very knowledgeable of the food, went above and beyond for us and her fellow servers to help when things got busy. Best service we’ve had in a long time. Overall, one of my favorite spots we have eaten at in Chattanooga. Highly recommend and ask for Ray!“

“Amazing place to dine and eat. Great alcoholic beverages and the staff is always so friendly.“

“Very dog friendly! Love the patio! Great drinks and fantastic food!“

“Food and service were amazing, as always. We were shocked to have to now pay for parking!! A $300 dinner and we have to pay for parking! We were told by the staff they have to pay for parking as well! And don’t the owners also own the parking lot? Possibly this isn’t the best policy!“

“My son and daughter in law and I ate at Hello Monty last night. The atmosphere was very nice and the host was great. Our waitress was outstanding. She took care of us the whole time we were there. The food was excellent. We had fish, rip eye and salmon. The rib eye and mashed potatoes was excellent vi would highly recommend eating here“

“We were very impressed with Public House. It was crowded and we were sat at the bar on a long bench with two top tables so it was cozy. Now that I think of it, I feel like when I made the reservation it asked if you wanted bar or outside...but didn't ask if you wanted the restaurant. I would have preferred the restaurant. That being said, the noise level was as you would expect in a bar but not too bad. The salad was really good and really large. We could have split it. We tried the devil eggs and they were tasty and creamy. After those two, I was full, but still had two small plates to eat...chicken livers and beets. The chicken livers were the best I've had out. (I know, they're not for everyone!) I'd order them again if there weren't so may scrumptious items on the menu! The leftovers did heat up well in the air fryer :) And the roasted beets and goat cheese were perfection. My husband had the flounder special and said it was excellent. We would definitely go back.“

“Wonderful service, atmosphere, and food!!! highly recommend!!!“

“Fantastic view,food and beer!“

“We had planned a trip to the Lodge Museum and store. I honestly didn't know about Big Bad Breakfast when we pulled in. Lucky for us, because we were hungry. We certainly weren't hungry when we left. I had the cathead biscuit. I'm so glad that I did. I thought it was wonderful. The chicken was super crisp and flavorful. The biscuit was easily the top of my list of best biscuits EVER. Now, I will warn you if you like soft bottom biscuits. This one wasn't. It was crisp, with a perfect cust like texture on the bottom. Just the way I like them. I'm just sorry there isn't a Big Bad Breakfast closer to home.“

“You are missing out on the best barbecue in the Chattanooga area. The ribs will be your last stop on your journey to find the tastiest, fall off the bone, most delicious meat you have ever put in your mouth. Go! Now!!!“

“The food is so fresh and delicious. Great healthy option. Wish they didn’t have such limited dine in hours but love this place“

“We had an out of the blue date night last night. My mom came over and we asked to go to dinner with no idea where to go. We decided to give Lakshore Grille a try and WOWWWWW. We were so happy with our decision to come there. We will be back over and over again. The food was some of the best we have had and the entire service staff was so friendly. The cocktails were also yum. You definitely get your monies worth. It seems like a great place to work and a wonderful atmosphere. We can't wait to go back. Great job!“

“One amazing experience after another!!“

“Great dinner tonight! Carson went over and beyond and then some waiting on us! Never had a better waiter than Carson tonight in all my years of dining. Prompt service, filling glasses before asked, asking every detail to make sure everything was perfect! Unreal and exceptional service! Thank you Carson! Hope this goes to and above your manager plus corporate too! You need to be congratulated on your talents! Thanks again!“

“Love this place! They are fast and friendly and it doesn't matter what I order that day-I am never disappointed!“

“Enjoyed the wonton nachos and bloody marys for brunch. Delicious!!“

“Best steak in a sack ever! This place has been a staple for Chattanooga since the 80’s and it still turns out amazing food. Great hamburgers, sandwiches and superb onion rings- you can’t go wrong at the original Ankar’s on Brainerd Road!“

“Very understaffed for a Saturday night & homecoming weekend! Arrived for 6:45 seating, got to table immediately. Didn't get food until 8:05 then it was the wrong order! Would have gotten dessert if it hadn't been so late. Highly recommend spinach salad & filet. Very tender beef!🤗“

“Wow, I hadn't been here in 10+ years. So when a girlfriend suggested we eat lunch here, I was like, sure let's see what they've got these days. I was shocked and pleasantly surprised with everything. I know this sounds silly, but my water glass was painfully clean! I ordered the Gyro and asked to swap out the fries for a starter salad and they did not charge me an upcharge like so many restaurants do. The salad was fantastic. My Gyro was meaty, fresh hot and tasty - I love a good Gyro. My GF got the meat and three with the chopped steak burger. She said it was delish. I will be back and will bring my hubby. BTW, our server Tristin was fantastic -- great service and great to look at! Bathrooms while serviceable and clean are old and dingy, but I gather this place sees a lot of people in and out of there.“

“Holy crap. We only came to Chattanooga for my daughter's graduation and stopped here for lunch because it was near the venue, but this place... BEST BURGERS I've ever eaten! The staff were all super friendly and they even made a delayed to-go order so I could take a fresh lunch back to my kiddo when she got out of her practice. The aesthetic of the place was wonderful and people from all walks of life gathered there as if they, too, knew about the magic in the food. 12/10 will absolutely come back on my next visit to Chattanooga.“

“Great place been many times well worth the money which isn’t much. Highly recommend do your self a favor and stop in. If your in to trains you’ll love this place. Convenient location. Right time of year right up the road you can see row teams. If your in to breakfast try the break man.“

“We had a family lunch for my Dad’s 88th birthday yesterday. Our server was excellent and the food was delicious!“

“The tacos were phenomenal. I highly recommend anything with the elote salad on it. The elote deviled eggs were awesome as well. The margs were great, might as well just go with a pitcher if you have more than a couple people. Can't wait to come back.“

“Clean, calm, welcoming atmosphere. Absolutely delectable dishes with perfect flavor combinations and Top Notch ingredients. Highly professional staff, friendly and helpful service. Elevated and comfortable dining experience of five star dishes. Highly recommend.“

“We absolutely love STIR! Impressive food and cocktail menu, beautiful ambiance, and excellent service. Don't miss out on this place if you're visiting Chattanooga!“

“My fav breakfast place in Chatt. Absolutely luv it. Get the Southern Benedict with a “You Got Jammed” cocktail!!!“

“Service was fantastic! Great food and a very nice atmosphere.“

“One of the best local spots in Chattanooga. Ive been coming here since I was 16, first fried pickles I ever had and they are the best 20 years later. Pickle barrel is a staple for the fellow natives.“

“We love Ankar’s Hoagies. The BEST onion rings! The sandwiches and steak in a sack are great too. Take the time and dine in. That’s part of the experience! I’ve been eating here for years. My parents loved it too. There’s not many places like this left around town.“

“Always love going. Though the K.J. was new and wasn't very good at keeping with the rotation it was still fun.“
