New American Restaurants near East Ridge, TN

“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.“

“Sara was a great waitress. Enjoyed our time and food.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Had a fantastic meal and wonderful service. The only negative would be the hostess. Not the most attentive when we checked in and then she took us to our table. We were given option of a two seater right between the only two occupied tables in the dining room or a two seater against the wall near the restrooms. Given it was early I thought maybe the 4 seaters were all booked but at end of night they were still fairly empty when we left.“

“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!“

“Love the vibe, service and food! Always a great place to take friends!“

“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.“

“Colby at the check in recommended the Brunch became we were too late for dinner late Saturday night. We came back Sunday because of his descriptions of the delicious food. Colby, it was just as you sad, wonderful. Josh our bartender was great. Thank you Josh for.the Painkillers. Phenomenal drinks a must if.you are eating at Clyde's. Our server Cardigan greeted us at the front.door. She offered suggestions from the menu.as this was our first visit to Clyde's. Everything was over the top!! Texas travelers love Clyde's.“

“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!“

“This place is AMAZING!!! We ordered the rack of ribs and grilled chicken plate with 2 sides of baked beans and potatoe salad and man! It was THE best I've had for as long as I can remember! You get LOTS of ribs for the price! Best flavor! Man! We're eating leftovers today! Yum yum yum“

“Very dog friendly! Love the patio! Great drinks and fantastic food!“

“Good food, Good service, Great atmosphere!“

“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“

“My fiancé and I had dinner there last night and had the best experience. Ezra was our server and took great care of us. We started with the fried green tomatoes with pimento cheese and the award winning wings. They were some of the best wings we have ever had. Perfectly seasoned and double fried. My fiancé had the 1885 Burger and I chose the lightly battered and fried flounder with a side of mac and cheese. His burger looked and tasted amazing. It was a big and juicy burger cooked a perfect medium temp. My flounder we absolutely delicious. So light and fresh. The Mac and cheese was real Mac and cheese. Very creamy and baked with bread crumbs on top. We also really enjoyed cocktails and agree we would give the 1885 grill 5 Stars!“

“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!“

“Great place to celebrate an occasion or just have a nice dinner! Fantastic special cocktails, tasty entrees and amazing desserts!!“

“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.“

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

“Been going to Ankar's for about 12 years. Always great food, great service and priced right. Back down in the Chattanooga area today on little business trip and always great to stop by Ankar's to relax and enjoy a good tasting lunch meal. My go-to for a quick and delicious lunch in friendly atmosphere.“

“We absolutely love STIR! Impressive food and cocktail menu, beautiful ambiance, and excellent service. Don't miss out on this place if you're visiting Chattanooga!“

“Highly recommend if you are by Chattanooga and not in a hurry to sit and enjoy the delicious food this place has to offer you.
Taco Tuesday Special are unbeaten and the tacos are a must.

Thank you Nicholas for your great service despite how busy the restaurant was.“

“Fantastic view,food and beer!“

“I'll keep this simple, as I just came in from the rain to have a glass of wine while it passes: do not get the rosé! Don't. It's... well it's a horrific acidic, bitter, cheap-tasting mess of a wine. I'm seriously laughing to myself at how much garbage it is.Otherwise, the place has a cute vibe and the bartender is friendly.“

“Enjoyed the wonton nachos and bloody marys for brunch. Delicious!!“

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

“Great place! Great food! Great service! Hamburger was a true burger not a patty, and was delicious. Never had fried pickles before but they were quite good. Brother had ribeye steak cooked to perfection. And the drinks were superb. Definitely return upon next visit.“

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

“Loved it! Highly recommended by friends and former employees! If I lived in Chattanooga, I would be there all the time. So many things on the menu that I still need to try! Can’t wait to go back!“

“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.“

“My fav breakfast place in Chatt. Absolutely luv it. Get the Southern Benedict with a “You Got Jammed” cocktail!!!“

“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.“

“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!!“

“After several calls to Rock City Garden (no direct number to cafe), I wanted to check on this location for an anniversary lunch. I was given restaurant hours which included Monday’s. I was reluctantly transferred to cafe for other questions. Interestingly, the chef answered my call responding cafe was closed on Monday’s. Only light hor-d’oeuvre’s served on Monday’s which Rock City Gardens (how convenient when selling $50+ park passes) failed to disclose. The chef was strange up with help (5*’s); not so much with RCG’s. So Beware what’s lurking behind a phone call! Wish there was a way to Cafe 7 without going through a garden, particularly Rock City Garden.“

“with my busy schedule lately I have been stopping in and grabbing healthy salads and meals. It is so much better than fast food. The sesame noodle salad last week was epic! I'm stopping in today to pick up a salad and some fresh tuna salad. please make the chilled shrimp salad again, it's fabulous! 5- Star *****“

“Clean, calm, welcoming atmosphere. Absolutely delectable dishes with perfect flavor combinations and Top Notch ingredients. Highly professional staff, friendly and helpful service. Elevated and comfortable dining experience of five star dishes. Highly recommend.“

“Awesome food, but please turn down the volume on your music playing... I didn't mind it, but husband has mild hearing loss and couldn't hear me when I was talking to him...
We both loved the food... My livers were sooooo good.
Thanks“

“We celebrated my daughter's birthday at J.Alexander's near Hamilton Place Mall, and I have to say their carrot cake is one of the best I've ever had—rich, creamy, and a must-try for any dessert lover. The menu also offers a great variety of options for vegetarians, and the other dishes we tried were pretty good as well. It’s a fantastic spot for special occasions or just a sweet treat!“

“Great place loved the wings“

“We love Ankar’s Hoagies. The BEST onion rings! The sandwiches and steak in a sack are great too. Take the time and dine in. That’s part of the experience! I’ve been eating here for years. My parents loved it too. There’s not many places like this left around town.“

“Everything has been good except the super extremely over-salted fries. It literally makes slight blisters in my mouth due to the salt content. I looked all over the app to find a request for light salt, but couldn’t find anything. There’s gotta be more salt than potatoes. I love the fries, but please cut back on the salt. The sweet potato pie is phenomenal! I highly recommend.
Also, what happened to the cinnamon Bo biscuits? They were 100X’s better than those berry catastrophes.
Bring ‘em back! They’re missed!

Vegetarian options: There’s really nothing here for a vegetarian, except maybe a couple of the sides, but they probably have lard in them. They’re high in fat.

Dietary restrictions: Be very careful if you are on blood pressure medication. The salt content is no exaggeration. It’s extremely high!“

“Love the ringgold Jefferson's! Great food and service! Always a great experience!
Full bar and awesome bartenders!

Vegetarian options: They offer a black bean burger 🍔 that tastes very good!

Kid-friendliness: Two claw machines, and multiple games on the patio.“
