50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Chattanooga

“This place was awesome!! Great atmosphere and very friendly! We had the best server Daniel ever!! I highly recommend this place to everyone!!!“

“I always prefer the “made from scratch” & “Mom and Pop” type places instead of the big name restaurants. I happen to be looking at a Chattanooga magazine at my daughter‘s house while visiting last week and ran across a little feature on the Bluegrass Grill. Knowing I would be taking one of my daughters to lunch for her birthday while visiting, this sounded like the perfect place to try. And by golly, it certainly was the perfect place! Both of my daughters and I really enjoyed the Eggs Benedict and were pretty picky about our hollandaise sauce. My three grandsons enjoyed their pancakes and French toast and one took a chance at the jalapeño bacon and loved it. My daughters have lived in the area for several years but neither had been there before. I know they will be back and so will I during future visits! And reading the story behind the grill. What a blessing your history has been to so many people! Thank you for your compassion and your heart’s mission. That made the visit to the Bluegrass Grill even more special! God Bless you all!“

“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.“

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

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

“Celebrating birthday. Great food. Enjoyed the birthday dessert perk. Plenty of food left over to take home. Some minor issues with service, waitress had some issues packaging our take home correctly. Actually I don't like my food being taken back to the kitchen. In the future just bring me boxes. My water glass went dry. At first, ok, then long periods of time between table visits. Ordered coffee when we got our desserts. Never came. Didn't say anything, as we'd been there well over an hour and a half, time to go. Waitress very nice, maybe having a bad evening, or new, could do better. Was still tipped well. I'd expect perfect service at JA's.“

“Welcome to the sushi bar of the South! The sushi here was the BEST sushi that I have had since moving from New York! Here, I felt like I was at a sushi bar in mid-town Manhattan. I never had authentic ramen before and I ordered the spicy crab ramen. It was so good. I don’t like an “over-powering” spice, but a medium “kick” so you can taste that spice is “there.” That was exactly what I got! It was a “perfect” blend of spice and the crab was tender, flavorful, delicious. I would recommend this ramen dish! Service was 5-star! Felt completely catered to! Ask for Annika. You will be happy you did. She is amazing! I cannot wait to come back to Two Ten Jack!“

“Hash browns with picante sauce.“

“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.“

“The food is delicious and the staff never fail to be amazing. Adam the manager runs an amazing team of awesome gauchos! 10/10 will definitely come back again!

EDIT: November 23rd, 2025 - it's my birthday, and yet again Adam and the Rodizio staff have knocked it out of the park. My husband loves the Hearts of Palm, and though it wasn't out on the bar, Adam went out of his way to get some for us. Kevin (one of the Gauchos) made sure the type of meat we were hoping for was brought around quickly. Awesome experience here every time!“

“Late lunch here and the food was fantastic! Hubby and I both had the Puckett’s BBQ-brisket for me and pork for him. Very tender meat and delicious side-smoked baked beans and potato salad. Friendly server who checked on us regularly. Definitely recommend“

“Amazing customer service Audrey and Andrew welcomed us like family and we will definitely be back, especially for pizza and trivia with the kids!!“

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

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

“This is hands down the best restaurant we have ever ate at!! Been here three times this week and we are going back tonight to eat one more time before we leave hopefully Julius is working when we get there cause he was the best waiter I have ever had!“

“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!“

“Wonderful atmosphere, servers and food: can’t go wrong 😊✅“

“I've never had a bad time here. they've got a great beer selection, wonderful food, and music.“

“If you wanna go on a trip to Louisiana just step foot into blue orleans. This place will take you there without having to travel far. The food is amazing just like the good old south and so was the service. This is a must try if your looking for delicious cajun food.“

“The food was amazing. The people were incredibly nice. Felt like we were eating dinner at a friend’s house. We will definitely be back.“

“VickyT was awesome !!!!!!“

“The atmosphere in here alone made it worth the trip. Add in super friendly staff and some really flavorful pizza and what more could you want? Grabbed a slice of pepperoni and a slice of their special of the day. Tried the meatballs as an appetizer, which surprised me by their size, but they pack a lot of flavor in a small bite and the sauce they use is fantastic. Sweet little spot to check out if you’re in the area. Don’t be scared of the paid parking when you get there, it’s surprisingly cheap.“

“This was our first time at this amazing fully vegan spot on our way from IL to FL. While we have enjoyed other vegan restaurants in the area in the past, this is by far our favorite. We enjoyed the Thai Chili Bowl and the Reuben (aka Little Steppenwolf) along with a dumpling appetizer that was on special. Everything tasted so delicious and the owners were friendly and very customer service forward, accommodating my request for very low oil. We were so happy to find this spot and will be visiting again next time we are in Chattanooga.“

“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.

“We moved to Tennessee 2 years ago from NJ, we love it here. our search started for NJ, NY style pizza. And Today we found it at Southside Pizza, we ordered 2 slices to eat in, one bite and I knew I had to order a 20 inch pie to take home. although it takes 40+ minutes to get there, this will now be our pizza place ! Excellent service and very friendly staff. I'd give this pizza a 9.5, great crispy thin crust, sauce very good not too sweet,and the sausage has a nice spice to it !! thank you for a great pie, Dean and Donna“

“Acropolis just catered my daughters wedding and the food was out of this world! They did the food for dinner and the desserts. There was plenty of food. They worked great with dietary issues that people had. I would give them a 5 out of 5!“
