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

“soooo good! I'm a traveling musician and it's always hard to find good vegan grub on the road but dang this spot was worth the pit stop for sure! I had the fish sandwich and carrot salad and i got one of evey desert they had just ya know.... for the road 😏. 10/10 ...that brownie set a whole new bar. My only complaint is that i wish yall were closer to Nashville ❤️🤘“

“This was my first time coming to a Brazilian steakhouse, and it was everything I imagined and more!
Amazing food and a wide variety of meats aside, every member of the team did an outstanding job; not only were our servers Haley and Everest attentive and willing to attend to our needs, but the manager Adam was also very informative and kept everything running smoothly, especially considering today was a holiday!
Thank you team for making our visit a memorable one!“

“My husband and I were gifted some gifts cards and came tonight. The atmosphere is different for us but it was pleasant. The food was FANTASTIC and our server Jess was phenomenal! We asked so many questions and she knew all the answers. I had the spaghetti à la Americana and it was so flavorful and Smokey and absolutely delicious. My husband had the 2 layer lasagna and we were amazed at not only the size of it but the taste. We also shared the flourless chocolate cake with gelato and it was magnificent! Overall if we could star this 100x we would.“

“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 little family owned restaurant. A group of 4 of us stopped on our way through from Florida and we will be back! Menu has something for everything and it was all delicious!“

“Took my parents to Boathouse for dinner while they were in town. They loved it! 10/10 recommend this restaurant. Definitely take advantage of the outdoor seating for some beautiful views!“

“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💝“

“This is exactly what I wanted! Brisket that is cooked perfectly without excessive greasiness and tender good. Tried the smoke bologna and that stuff is good too! The collard greens are excellent with a hint of heat. The Mac n’ Cheese is incredible too. This was a great meal at a good price. We will come back when we are in town.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Excellent all Vegan menu. What I had was superb; at the Chattanooga Vegans meeting, with special guest Anthony Martinez, co-founder and Executive Director of Casa Vegana in Puerto Rico. Meeting on the deck with beautiful late spring weather was great. Service was marvelous.
My first time eating here. I will definitely be coming back.!“

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

“Great service, waiting time was shorter than expected“

“Lo Main, located in the friendly neighborhood of Ridgedale in Chattanooga, TN. is like the first time you smelled pancakes in the morning made by someone you love, wrapped in a warm, consensual hug while your favorite team wins the championship with a winning lottery ticket in your pocket. Best“

“My husband and I discovered this place while visiting a few years ago. Now, every time we drive south (we’re from Indiana) I check to see if Chattanooga is a doable stop just for these cupcakes. They are my absolute favorite and the best cupcakes I’ve had!“

“Sushi is amazing, and the bento box is my favorite. I’d highly recommend.“

“Great coffee and avocado toast!! Cute coffee spot!! ❤️❤️❤️“

“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. Tell your friends.“

“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!!!“

“OMG!! we usually go to hixon. so glad we chose diff! hands down better we will be taking this our fav. service personality of staff especially our waitress JADE knowledgeable and all around a great server!!

“Lovely restaurant with great food and wonderful staff.“

“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.“

“Our family of 6 ate there today and let me tell you it was the best experience we've had since starting to eat at Bad Daddy's! Emily was our waitress and she was super friendly, patient and knowledgeable about the menu! Thanks for the great service Emily!“

“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“

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

“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“

“Kayla was the absolute BEST!“

“Mayan Kitchen has the absolute best bartender under the sun. If you’re downtown looking for the ultimate mix, go see Chase!!! He is the alchemist of cocktails, truly magical experience 🪄🧙⭐️“

“Absolutely, great place the wings are on point falling off the bone, the bartenders and waitres are great😊“

“First time trying today and it was so amazing. The people are so nice and friendly. i will definitely be going back!!!!“

“I think I may have had the pleasure of meeting Mindy B herself - and her mama! I felt so welcome here. The kitchen was a little backed up when I placed my order, but I didn’t have to wait in a line, just a tick for my order. Anyone I spoke with in the restaurant was just like talking with family. You can tell these folks work very hard and take pride in this place. I got my food to go (not because of the wait, just because of preference) and when I got back to my hotel, I was shocked at how large the portions were, especially for the price!! I had ordered the vegan wrap with a side salad and I had two meals out of it. That hardly ever happens with vegetarian or vegan food!!! The only thing that kept me coming back was the lack of time in Chattanooga. The food was delicious and fresh! If I ever find myself back in Chattanooga, I WILL be back!!! Thank you, Mindy B + team!!!“

“We both had the Lone Star Brisket Hash and it was amazing…..all my fav ingredients.!!🧡“

“Great food! Friendly service. Love watching the sunset from the newly covered patio area.“

“Great ice cream and fun atmosphere“

“Fantastic customer service could not ask for better. Food was great and good selection of drinks. Staff was very kind and patient with children.“

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

“We ordered a German chocolate cake for my dads birthday and it was phenomenal! One of the best cakes we've ever had 😋“

“I attended a rehearsal dinner at Opa last night. It was amazing. The atmosphere was perfect and the food was plentiful and delicious. They brought several courses and ended the meal with dancing and the throwing of 1000 napkins. I highly recommended this place for an event such as a rehearsal dinner. You don’t have to do anything — they handle the food, wine, entertainment, decor, etc. Highly recommend!“

“Fantastic view,food and beer!“

“My son and I stopped in for his early bday dinner, with it being the day after Christmas I fully expected disgruntled staff. That was not at all the case. We were promptly seated and in the 4 minutes it took for me to visit the ladies room to wash my hands our server Bryan was apologizing for the wait!!! Like sir, what wait? He was incredibly helpful as this was our first visit. He offered in depth explanations of the menu options including letting us know about some of the special imported ingredients from Italy that make this not your typical pizzeria experience. They serve authentic Neapolitan Style pizza. We had the Italian Stallion and the Spicy Bianca. Both were superb. The food came quickly and was everything Bryan said it would be. I also tried one of the several beers they have on tap. The "hello darlin" was a perfect pairing to the pizza. We live in Huntsville AL and will DEFINITELY be making the trip back. Thank you to Community Pie and Bryan for helping me give my soldier an epic birthday dinner.“

“Our server, Maha, was amazing. Very personable and attentive! It was our 41st Anniversary celebration and we had a great time. We have been in many restaurants throughout our married life, but we must say Maha made such a difference in our total dining experience. It was a pleasure to meet such a sweet person.“

“I was in town for the 2024 tow show this weekend..ate here twice. Both times were phenomenal and the bartenders were friendly and attentive! I definitely recommend!“
