Restaurants near Lookout Mountain

“While the atmosphere is charming, the front end staff ok-to-good, and the food looked good, my experience was somewhat less than this. I will give them the benefit of the doubt this time and try them again someday. I’m bothering to leave a review because I know it is important for restaurants, especially, and not doing so helps no one… We, perhaps, challenged them today by having a party of twelve, however, a well organized team would have risen to that occasion. Our food was late, forty minutes late, arrived piecemeal, and mostly cold. Most just accepted this, I did not. Though my entree looked ‘ok’ it was cold. Greasy, cold, over cooked potatoes are not something you serve, ditto a breakfast burrito. Teamwork among the staff seemed lacking. Our server seemed to lose us in the fray. Today was a cool day, breezy, yet in spite of that the place was wide open with garage doors up and we had to ask several times to close a nearby door that was repeatedly propped open by staff. I spoke to a manager regarding my entree but it apparently did no good, as I never did get the fresh hot entree she promised and bummed a slice of pizza from someone in our party. I’ll be honest; the pizza was good! You eat even cold pizza when you’re hungry… As I said, I will try these folks again in hopes of a better experience.”

“Had my daughter’s wedding shower at Canopy this past weekend . I could not ask for a better place . I highly recommend you to use this for a shower or special event . Everyone was so nice so helpful. The place is so cute and perfect for this occasion. Last but not least the best mimosas we have ever had.10 out of 10 for sure. Thank you for everything you did .”

“Beautiful Garden setting for wine time”

“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!”

“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.”

“Skip if you are vegetarian. Few options beyond hummus, pita and the whipped feta. The falafel were the tiniest I have ever seen and only 3 were served. So small all there was to eat was the deep fried crust, no soft steaming yummy green inside to taste. I have never had falafel like that. Hard and crunchy. We left hungry and wishing we had gone somewhere else. Service was very good but for the prices, one would expect that. Just an OK experience.”

“We visited Amada Tapas & Wine on 11/22/2025 to celebrate our 39th anniversary, and from the moment we walked through the door, the evening felt special. We were greeted immediately, and within seconds of being seated, the owner, Amanda, came over to personally wish us a happy anniversary. She even placed a charming little sign at our seats—such a thoughtful touch that set the tone for the night. Choosing to sit at the bar turned out to be the best decision we could’ve made. Conner, the Bar Manager, was nothing short of spectacular. His warm personality, knowledge of the menu, and effortless hospitality elevated the entire experience. It truly felt like we were in great hands from start to finish. Conner walked us through the entire menu with genuine enthusiasm, offering thoughtful pairings and pointing out the dishes he felt we shouldn’t miss. His guidance made the ordering process feel effortless. He suggested we begin with the Endives, and it was a spectacular start—bright, crisp, and beautifully balanced, the perfect way to open the meal. From there, we moved on to the Chargrilled Octopus, paired with the Patatas Bravas. The combination was outstanding: the octopus tender with a hint of smokiness, the bravas perfectly seasoned with just the right amount of heat. Conner then recommended the Rainbow Trout, which we paired with the Roasted Carrots—a duo that was flavorful, delicate, and beautifully prepared. Throughout the evening, both Amanda and Conner remained incredibly attentive, striking that rare balance between professional service and warm, genuine conversation. Their hospitality truly elevated our anniversary celebration and made the entire experience unforgettable. We ended the night feeling genuinely cared for and completely delighted by every part of the experience. We highly recommend visiting Amada Tapas & Wine—if we could give it 10 stars, we absolutely would.”

“My husband and I were gifted some gifts cards and came tonight. The atmosphere is different for us but it was pleasant. The food was FANTASTIC and our server Jess was phenomenal! We asked so many questions and she knew all the answers. I had the spaghetti à la Americana and it was so flavorful and Smokey and absolutely delicious. My husband had the 2 layer lasagna and we were amazed at not only the size of it but the taste. We also shared the flourless chocolate cake with gelato and it was magnificent! Overall if we could star this 100x we would.”

Sadly life is moving us down to Florida but future forward when back in Chattanooga area we will come to Bridgeman's to eat & hopefully Derrick will still be there as he has for so many years taking care of us.”

“The best beer selection of any brewery I’ve ever been to and I’ve been to around 100. They have a style and flavor for anyone that likes beer and as an added bonus, their pizza is just as good. Would recommend no matter which location you’re closest to!”

“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!”

“Good food, quick service, busy but not overwhelming, and overall a good experience.🍖”

“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!”

“Worth the drive from AL! The burgers were so good, as was the selection of craft beers! Nice vibe too! We’ll be back!”
