“The manager Tara was phenomenal there was something wrong on my order and she went above and beyond fixing to please me very good customer service I give them a 10 plus 10 I would recommend them any day over out back over a lot of places thanks longhorn“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“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!“

“The food was exceptional but the experience was top notch bc of our server Ray. She was very friendly, very knowledgeable of the food, went above and beyond for us and her fellow servers to help when things got busy. Best service we’ve had in a long time. Overall, one of my favorite spots we have eaten at in Chattanooga. Highly recommend and ask for Ray!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!!“

“12.5.25 My husband and I came into town for a 7pm show at Solder and Sailor Auditorium. We stopped by this diner for a quick bite. The service and Seafood bisque, Chicken Salad on Rye, Mushroom and Swiss Burger with Texas fries all Amazing! We met some friends there the following morning and NOT SO AMAZING! 3 of us ordered the Denver Omelet had no flavor and wouldn't order again and the 4th person ordered the Hobo Banquet. The Hobo Banquet 1 of the eggs weren't cooked and so runny she couldn't eat it. The waiter didn't come back to check on us and it was busy so she ate what she could. They offer a huge menu and I would probably give them 1 more try.“

“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!“

“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!“

“Absolutely wonderful experience the food was phenomenal all the staff were extremely attentive and amazing especially our server Carson who did a spectacular job the portions were very generous the tuna was cooked perfectly the prime rib was also cooked perfectly and such a fat piece and their aptly named best chocolate cake really was the best it's definitely a pricier menu but it's worth it 5 out of 5 recommend this place every time“

“Firebirds Wood Fired Grill has become a favorite dining facility for my wife and me. The atmosphere of the bar and restaurant areas is pleasant and welcoming. The staff is always friendly and makes you feel valued as a customer. The menu options are varied and meet key food items across the board from great steaks to seafood with great sides, salads and soups. All in all, Firebirds is a great value for the dollars spent and management strives to ensure you will have a pleasant experience.“

“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.“

“Delicious food , great coffee ☕️“

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

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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 *****“

“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.“

“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“

“A True Chattanooga Staple

The Chattanooga Billard Club is everything you want in a classic bar and more. This place has serious character — housed in a historic building with a chill, laid-back vibe that makes you feel like you’ve stepped back in time (in the best way).

The food is classic bar fare done right — satisfying, flavorful, and available late (kitchen’s open until 1:30am!). The whiskey selection is solid, and their Old Fashioneds are on point. Whether you're a local or just visiting, you owe it to yourself to eat and drink here.

What really makes the place shine is the bartender — super attentive and genuinely welcoming. It’s rare to find service this good anymore.

Bonus: drinks flow until 2:45am, and yes — smoking inside is welcome, which adds to the old-school lounge feel.

Absolutely love this spot and will 100% be back. Eat, drink, and smoke here.“

“Great place been many times well worth the money which isn’t much. Highly recommend do your self a favor and stop in. If your in to trains you’ll love this place. Convenient location. Right time of year right up the road you can see row teams. If your in to breakfast try the break man.“

“Incredible dinner last night at Wooden City, had a group of 7 and everything was perfect - food, service, drinks, atmosphere. It was slammed busy on a Saturday night but zero hiccups with food or service. Perfect location, can’t wait to go back.“

“Very understaffed for a Saturday night & homecoming weekend! Arrived for 6:45 seating, got to table immediately. Didn't get food until 8:05 then it was the wrong order! Would have gotten dessert if it hadn't been so late. Highly recommend spinach salad & filet. Very tender beef!🤗“

“Wonderful atmosphere, servers and food: can’t go wrong 😊✅“

“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.“
