Just a small diner with stellar service and prices. The burger was great and the service was even better. Super cheap too.“

“$10.79 for a package of inedible Milk Duds, candy bar and Smarties. The MD's were melted into a big ball, and I had to cut open the box and prise them out and chop up. Terrible. I love CB, but my last 3 visits have not been good and I've never got to use the rewards.“

“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!“

“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!“

“We stumbled upon this place tonight in search of a good meal. We ordered and had it delivered and the food was absolutely wonderful. The pimento cheese patty melt was very tasteful and had such amazing flavors and I got the onion rings as my side and literally some of the absolute best we have ever had! My wife got the best buffalo chicken sandwich she had had in a while with fries and a side of Mac & cheese and the fries were great but that tavern Mac n cheese is special. The peanut butter pie and beignets… this place hit every course and there wasn’t a bad bite the whole meal! Can’t wait to dine in and try some more of their delicious food“

“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.“

“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“

“Great food!!!!!!!! Everyone in the family was happy!!!!!!“

“This is my favorite place to go on a date night with my husband. Piper greets us with a smile at the door and its always a consistently wonderful experience from there. We are guaranteed a 10/10 night when Allie is working! She is my favorite (everyone is so great!). We have been there so many times and she can give the best food and drink recommendations for me. At this point I could let her just order for me and I know I am in good hands! Food favorites: hearth roasted oysters, focaccia, chilled soups, easy's salad, gramigna, and steak fries (extra tallow mayo!). I am always excited to mix in something special and new too! They are so creative. I appreciate the care they put into what they do. We love you guys!“

“I had NolaGirl’s for the first time yesterday. The seafood gumbo & jambalaya egg rolls are AMAZING!!!! I will definitely be back soon!“

“Delicious food , great coffee ☕️“

“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.“

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

“Everything!!! Staff are amazing, they make a great Old Fashioned, and the food was top notch. Great experience overall!“

“Great place to go with the kids on the weekends.“

“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!!“

“Quiet, not crowded, we’ll prepared food, good place to talk“
