“Great hamburgers and salads!“

“I don’t know where to begin! This place is so amazing good clean atmosphere the lady’s up front were so nice and kind the servers were amazing all of those young ladies and who ever the cook is needs a raise I swear I ate until my belly hurt. Waaaaaaay better then CBC I was really impressed with the staff and as a black man who is cautious about hangout spots I 10/10 recommend Sweet Melissa’s I felt safe comfortable I was able to enjoy my time there with friends and famil. I wish this place many years of business and blessings!!!!!“

“Absolutely delicious! Wild west shrimp and 10 Oz salmon rice pilaf and sweet potato. Our band group stopped here for dinner before the state game on Saturday about 20 ppl altogether were sat in separate sections, our choice, in about 15 mins from arrival. Phenomenal service our kids had a blast!“

“So delicious, wonderful service!!! Kristen took great care of us!!“

“The managers and crew are pretty amazing! They are trying to make a difference in everyone's life! ❤❤“

“We had a pleasant experience at Applebee's in Hixson, thanks to our server Gary, who provided quick service. The food arrived promptly, and although the queso was a bit runnier than we prefer, it still tasted okay. The Tex-Mex shrimp bowl and chicken quesadilla salad were both tasty, and the triple chocolate melt was a delightful dessert. Just a friendly tip for servers: if you smoke, please make sure not to smell like it when serving customers.“

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

“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!“

“I was in town for the 2024 tow show this weekend..ate here twice. Both times were phenomenal and the bartenders were friendly and attentive! I definitely recommend!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“Loved my burger, chips are great ..so fresh and crisp, my mushrooms were hot, crisp and delicious“

“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 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!!“

“Excellent restaurant, great food and wide variety, friendly staff with quick service. Cheddars is my favorite go to place to eat“

“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“

“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 *****“

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

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I had a fantastic dining experience at J. Alexander’s in Chattanooga! From the moment I was seated, the service was top-notch. A special thank you to my server, Shane, who was attentive, professional, and truly exemplary throughout the evening. He made sure everything was perfect and brought out my cocktail, The (423), which was absolutely delicious—great balance and flavor! My steak and fries were cooked to perfection and tasted amazing. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and thanks to Shane, the service matched the quality of the food. I’ll definitely be returning soon!“

“I have to say that this morning was the busiest I have seen it when we have been there! The cook did amazing on the food, it was hot when we got ours. The waitress’ kept on top of our drinks and still stayed on top of the other tables! That place has come along way and seems to be thriving! The past few times we have been in there have been great and have had no issues!! Shari and her staff are doing a great job there and I hope it stays that way and continues to thrive!!“

“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'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“

“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!“

“We love this place! It is a hidden gem! The food is great and deserts awsome. We go by boat once a week by boat. Going tomorrow for breakfast for the first time. Will miss the deserts.“

“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!“
