50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Chattanooga

“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!“

“Skip if you are vegetarian. Few options beyond hummus, pita and the whipped feta. The falafel were the tiniest I have ever seen and only 3 were served. So small all there was to eat was the deep fried crust, no soft steaming yummy green inside to taste. I have never had falafel like that. Hard and crunchy. We left hungry and wishing we had gone somewhere else. Service was very good but for the prices, one would expect that. Just an OK 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 LOVE Mr.T’s so much! This time we had their hot veggie sandwich and Cinnamon bread and both were so delicious . The atmosphere is always so friendly with awesome customer service also . We’re very thankful you brought a location to Ooltewah!!“

“Great Portions, Great Prices and the Quality was divine. Delicious Food. Will be back.“

“We went there for our Anniversary dinner tonight. The food was exceptional. Our server Jonathan was very friendly, knowledgable about the menu. He was also great at making sure our dinner needs were met. All the staff checked on all guests also. I would highly recommend this restuarant.“

“From NJ so have high expectations for expensive restaurants. Maloneys is an absolute home run, wow! We ate at OBC in Nashville their sister restaurant and suggested Malones and gave us a $25 off card. Could only eat half the salad and bread but they made a new one of each to take home. Highly recommended.“

“Great selection of beers! Friendly staff. Loved the outdoor beer garden and dog park. Veteran owned. Will definitely be back“

“I always have great service Chasity is a wonderful waitress and the food is delicious.👍🏻👍🏻“

“The best beer selection of any brewery I’ve ever been to and I’ve been to around 100. They have a style and flavor for anyone that likes beer and as an added bonus, their pizza is just as good. Would recommend no matter which location you’re closest to!“

“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!“

“Awesome vegan menu and prices are as reasonable as it gets. The BBQ Jackfruit Nachos are FIRE! 👍👍👍👍👍“

“I’ve been a regular for over 20 years from the beginnings on the north shore. Keeps getting better.“

“Did a tour and tasting this weekend. Our guide, Ethan was amazing, fun and informative. Not a huge bourbon fan, so I was very happy that they included their Old Fashioned with the tasting. Trinity and Caleb were helpful at the bar, answering questions and serving. Would definitely recommend this if you are visiting Chattanooga.“

“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!“

“My wife and I went on a date and drove an hour to get here, right away we saw the business of a Friday night, but not stressful Friday night. The atmosphere was so fun and inviting, and my wife got the Aji Shrimp Bowl, and I ordered the Fried Beef Tacos, and this place literally sends you to a whole new level of flavor! Absolutely worth the wait and worth the experience! You’re missing out if you don’t try this restaurant!“

“The best smoothie and juice by a long shot. Blows the local out of the water. I’ll come here at least once a month if not more to get a smoothie and do some work. Staff is always friendly and helpful. Only thing is the music can be a little loud at times. But I get it you gotta do what you can to cover up the sound of blenders. Also the patio is nice, not great but nice on a cool day.“

“Good food, quick service, busy but not overwhelming, and overall a good experience.🍖“

“The best vegan meal! Thank you for making us a delicious lunch on our way home from the Smokies! My gut and body needed that💝“

“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.“

“Driving downtown Chattanooga and came across this gem! Made reservations for the next evening and it was well worth the wait! The menu is pasta, BUT it will be the best pasta you will eat!
We enjoyed dinner and the show as we picked songs for the servers to perform. So fun to be an interactive part of the evening.“

“The staff are great and so friendly. We so enjoyed our meal, food was great.“

“Philly Reuben is AMAZING! A must for those who haven't eaten there. The sandwiches are huge and absolutely delicious! A+++“

“Belvoir Christian Academy's faculty and staff loved the catered lunch from Marsha's Backstreet Cafe! We had spaghetti, salad and garlic bread! Delicious! Highly recommend anything on the menu as well!“

“Great service, wonderful food, and very friendly staff!“

“Hands down the most fantastic meal I have had ALL YEAR; how did I not know about this gem before?! Come for the pupusas- stay for the world’s most amazing guacamole, some magical mango hot sauce, empanadas, and the PACOS!!!! Five star food, and service. Seriously, come eat, ASAP.

“cant praise this place enough, awesome in house beers, great food, laid back atmos and special mention for the guys on duty last night, Monday 9th feb, thanks for taking the time with us two brits, we loved it. wish you all the success going forward 👍🏼🍺“

“Really welcoming atmosphere with really great staff. The food and drinks were so good! We can’t wait to come back!“

“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!“

“Been eating Lupi's since I was in my teens about 1995-96. When it was only downtown. My older brother would take me before UTC basketball games. It was a ritual. I like to think it helped UTC get to the sweet 16 in 97. haha Sooo happy you're in Ooltewah now. I try to go as often as possible. Lots of great memories. Keep it up!!!“

“Absolutely amazingly delicious calzones!!! We had a supreme one and a Blanca one!!! One is big enough for 2 people though!!!“

“Love Docs! Great food, great staff, great atmosphere!“

“Holy moly, this was incredible. Everything was flavorful and comforting and this is one of our top vegan restaurants ever. We made their weekend brunch where a special menu was in place and we went for the grits, a burrito, and a side of their BLT. Everything was amazing and portions were HUGE and well priced. We are sad we didn’t make it back for their normal menu, but I am sure it is just as good. Must go if in town Updated from previous review on 2026-05-19“

“Great food and was met by assuming the Owner when we got there! Lobster roll was the special and was fabulous! Seafood platter was very good! Small so get there early but it you Have to Wait It’s well worth it! Glad we found them and decided to come that way!“

“We were in the area and all the reviews recommended you guys. We had the fried green tomatoes, salmon and short ribs. Everything was excellent including the drinks. We will definitely be back when we are in the area again.“

“Lovely restaurant with great food and wonderful staff.“

“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“

“Awesome as always! Maria and Tito are the ultimate hosts. They’re from Jalisco province...so this is authentic food. Tequila comes from there about too. Enjoy it all....“

“Delicious and fresh. I can’t wait to try more items 😍“

“Great food. Super friendly staff.“

“We love this restuarant and it’s our go-to place for every milestone moments but this review is about a bad experience we had today with our lunch order. We ordered a take out for my husband’s birthday and when we came back home we found one entree is missing. On calling back the restaurant , we explained in details what’s missing and requested them to keep the item ready as we wanted to eat together as a family before everything becomes cold. However when my husband reached the restaurant he was told that they didn’t believe us and then the server went to talk to the chef. After that she was convinced that the issue was on their side and took another 20 mins to give the food. This is outrageous and honestly feels borderline racist. She could’ve checked with the chef before we went back. We love this restaurant but this has left a very bad impression on us“

“I really enjoyed the food and the atmosphere! I will be back“

“Stopped in at oddstory when headed back to Mississippi and we were well taken care of by Nick! Large selection of great beers to try and the food was amazing. Nick made our experience awesome and we will certainly be back the next time we are in the area!“
