“Fantastic ribs and friendly service.“

“Used to come here alot when I was younger. My new job and doctor require I drive to Chattanooga sometimes, and whenever I start to get hungry heading down I-75 this is the one place that always pops into my mind! The BBQ sandwich and fried okra taste nostalgic, and their chess pie is some of, if not the best I've ever had!“

“Really good tonight. Did they change recipe for coleslaw? It was delicious.“

“Definitely a must try of long term staple local restaurants. We ordered in the back at a small building w a walk up window on the back side of the building with the sign on MLK. The woman who took the order was very patient and nice. The woman was super nice and brought us our food to the car when it was ready which I thought was superb customer service. Got a small weenie on chilli plate with Cole slaw and it came w three rolls, hot sauce, and mustard. I ended up making sandwiches out of the contents of the box. Everything was tasty to me except wasn’t a big fan of the slaw taste, it had a very sauer kraut taste to it. Reminded me of Beenie weenies since I had never tried it before. Would like to try their other offerings. For two dinners and a large drink it was $32. Love the location in the heart of the city! Would definitely recommend going and marking it off your bucket list if you haven’t already.“

“good beer, great good, even better service 👌 come see Courtney! She's the best waitress, super friendly, very helpful.“

“🤯 we love to try bbq anywhere we go and sugars is definitely one you should stop in and try when you’re in Chattanooga. We got the ribs, sampler taco, brisket poppers, fried grilled corn, and spicy okra chips. The brisket popper is a jalapeño popper filled with cheese brisket and topped with I believe their house salsa- so flavorful. The taco sampler comes with a brisket, pulled pork and chicken taco. Each taco has cilantro, onion and radish and a crema or aioli sauce. My favorite was the brisket then the pulled pork. The. The ribs which were delicious and perfectly cooked without any sauce we sampled all of the sauces on a bite and our favorite was the red wine vinegar and chili sauce. So unique. Everything was unexpected but delicious. So happy we stopped in for lunch.“

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

“Hi Choo Choo management and staff……. I’m from Massachusetts and today I had my first Tennessee barbecue from your establishment…….I don’t need to try barbecue anywhere else in Tennessee….. I had the pork ribs…… it was absolutely amazing……if I die today I die a happy man…….thank you for your expertise…… keep up the good work……. Simply amazing……..please share with your staff“

“We used their catering service for my parents’ anniversary party. The food was great and the service excellent. They delivered the food and set it up for us. They made it easy. We highly recommend their catering service!“

“The food is always fresh & prepared correctly. The employees are very nice people & always super friendly, no matter how busy they are. I highly recommend their pulled pork, fries, cornbread & banana pudding!
My only criticism is- the macaroni needs some improvement. It's not bad, it just tastes like boxed macaroni & doesn't match very well with all the other delicious food.“

“Best BBQ and most friendly atmosphere. Would recommend to anyone who loves bbq, especially the ribs.“

“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“

“The food was delicious but our server made the experience awesome! We enjoyed downtown Chattanooga and then went to eat at Sticky Fingers and Layla took great care of us. We would definitely come again.“

“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!“

“Very fast service! Great food ! ❤️Chicken-w-Bones“

“I’m a very picky eater and when a friend suggested my husband and I eat at Haven’s with him we agreed. My husband had meatloaf, okra, cabbage with a corn muffin and I had the fried chicken wings, mashed potatoes, black eyed peas with a corn muffin. Every single thing we ate was the best we have ever tasted!! I couldn’t believe it. Our friend ordered the pork chops and could only eat one so my husband got to eat the other one. Seriously, it was hard to leave there with out ordering two or three meals to go. Since we live in Cleveland Haven's will see us at LEAST once a week. The girls there are precious and the food is cooked after you order. Such a Fantastic place!!!“

“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.“

“Wings are seriously good. Owner was extremely friendly and polite. We will be coming back soon.“

“Amazing food and variety. Short ribs tend to be the best. Even side dishes like dumplings and rice cakes are very tasty.“

“Good food for a reasonable price. *(Great atmosphere, too!)“

“Excellent food and staff.“
