50 Best American Restaurants near East Ridge

“great food and excellent service. will definitely come back again.“

“Ordered tamales and didn't realize they would be twice the size of "normal". So I ended up with leftovers for lunch the next day. I got the pork mole ones. Packed with pork. Masa soft and yet firm at the same time. Not dry at all. Perfect. Literally only thing I'd change would be to ask for extra red sauce. I like the filling a bit more wet than these were. But not an actual complaint, just my personal preference. I will definitely be coming back for more & to try other menu items.“

“On our way back to Michigan we stopped in Chattanooga. We asked a local where to get a good burger and he said Armando's had the best.....and he was right.
Just a small diner with stellar service and prices. The burger was great and the service was even better. Super cheap too.“

“Great service and very friendly atmosphere“

“My husband and I visited on our trip and the portions were very large. They had a $14.99 deal where you got an app and entree. I got the Nachos and the Pulled Pork Sammy w/ a loaded baked potato. So good! So much food!! My husband got the corn bread (it came with honey pecan butter) and babyback ribs with loaded baked potato and onion rings. The only thing not amazing was the onion rings. Everything else was delicious!“

“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!“

“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!“

“Fantastic food, really delicious! Homemade pimento cheese and soups, everything on the menu is great, I've never had a bad meal there.They have a small staff and do get busy so be patient with them.“

“Delicious food, excellent service. Will definitely go back.“

“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!“

“Had dinner there tonight and it was sooo good!! Will definitely be returning! Food was cooked perfectly, and the staff were absolutely amazing!! 🤩“

“What a lovely experience with friendly staff and amazing food! We’ll definitely be back!“

“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!“

“We had dinner at Nic and Norman's on Friday night. December 9th. Food and drinks were great. Service was good. Some wonderful person paid our tab. We thank you so much.“

“Not only was the food delicious, the service was excellent. We had a party of ten and the waitress was definitely on top of keeping us satisfied. If you have a chance, ask for Marla. You won’t be disappointed.“

“The food was fairly good, and the service was great. Tip: have an idea of what food you are in the mood before you open the menu. Ample options and a wide variety of food -> a little something for everyone! Our server was very knowledgeable and offered great recommendations. Pictured is the buffalo chicken wrap and butterfinger pie.“

“Love the food and atmosphere. It’s like coming home to grandma‘s house and having a big hug. However, I hate the changes in the newly remodeled restaurants I have been in also, the side/vegetable portions have become so small they often look more like a child’s portion, leaving me having to order more or add on a child’s plate of vegetables. Oh yes, in the bathrooms are universally, dirty, smelly, and disgusting no matter how far or near I travel. I should know I eat 2 to 3 times a week at Cracker Barrel.“

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

“Today my mom and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves at Southern Star. We both had your food bar, and it was filled with healthy as well as good, old fashioned comfort food. My husband loves chicken and dressing, your special today, as well as cornbread, so I bought him a portion to go. When I got home, I warmed it up for him, and of course, he loved it too! I was glad that I grabbed some of your baked goods, and so far, we have devoured the HUGE ginger snap cookie!!! It takes me back…thank you all for being so kind and attentive, especially Donna and another sweet lady but I failed to get her name. Thank you all for this great experience!“

“The exceptional service truly enhanced a delightful dining experience. The food was exquisite, leaving a lasting impression. Such attentiveness and care from the staff created a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Every detail seemed perfectly orchestrated, contributing to an unforgettable meal. It's a pleasure to encounter such remarkable hospitality and culinary talent.“

“Will definitely be back. Very friendly people with great food. I ordered a double bacon cheeseburger and the lady behind the register warned me that the double comes with 4 patties, this was a deliciously huge burger. You got to try it.“

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

“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 Food I would Recommend this place to everyone 5 stars 🌟 if I could give 10 stars I would.“

“I love the buffalo tenders. Juicy chicken tenders with a tasty buffalo sauce. Never have been disappointed when I get it!“

“The atmosphere is wonderful, but the food is definitely the highlight!! Everything we had was exceptional!! We'll definitely be back!! I'm looking forward to trying everything on the menu!!“

“I'm from Huntsville al if you would open a franchise there it WOULD BE VERY SUCCESSFUL!! nothing there get near the quality and taste of your food so far look into it it would be worth it Huntsville alot bigger then chattanooga and growing quickly“

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

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

“10/10 recommended. I didn't get our servers name but she was the kindest gal. The food and drinks were on point and because we were there for a late birthday celebration she brought me out the best chocolate custard.“

“The place is awesome. It's brightened the downtown scene for the past 40+ years...that's difficult to achieve in the Chattanooga market where the majority of new businesses are unsuccessful which causes them to shut their doors within their first 2 years of operation. CBC has powered through all the diversity to create a unique atmosphere which invites everyone to enjoy quality dinning while playing some pool or throwing darts. It also houses an array of fine cigars to smoke following your meal. It has 2 full service bars which allows you to choose which environment you prefer, downstairs has sports bar feel while upstairs has 12 pool tables with an on-demand jukebox to blast your favorite music. You need to check it out sometime“

“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.“

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

“Great bbq! Love the staff, especially the owners!“

“I’ve only been into this establishment twice and although I was irritated because I was unable to place a call in order so that I could walk in and grab my order, pay and then walk out, I understood that the server was by herself both times.

She completely made up for it all because she was a very kind and professional lady and I was not only impressed with her work ethic but also equally impressed at the fact that although she was overwhelmed she pushed through it all and was a server and a cook that made things happen for the customers.

This woman deserves not only a raise but also some sort of recognition from the company because it isn’t her fault that nobody wants to come to work.

Keep up the good work whatever your name is. I will be back just to see her in action again because she completely knocked it out of the ball park both times that I’ve been into this establishment.“

“Nolagirl’s Gumbo prepared the food for a party I had last night and it was nothing short of amazing! Not only that, the personalized service provided to help me ensure my event went off flawlessly was exceptional. I highly recommend!“

“I have always loved Armandos burgers. It had been many years since I had visited, in fact, I wasn't sure if they were still open! I went this past weekend and it was every bit as good as I remember!! Get onion rings with ur burger - you'll thank me later!!“

“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!“
