50 Best Vegetarian 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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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 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!“

“The best dining experience during our time in Chattanooga. The food and service was top notch, better than many 5-star restaurants I have dined at.
The food is outstanding and unique in its New Orleans style.
We ordered the fried gator bites to start (remoulade sauce was insanely good), New Orleans Pasta (with crawfish shrimp and andouille) and the shrimpalaya(jambalaya). Upon recommendation of our excellent server, we also tried the strawberry infused bread pudding for dessert.
There was a good selection of New Orleans beer on draft as well as excellent wine and mixed drinks.

Our servers were attentive and incredibly kind young men who were attending college in Chattanooga. The bartender was an excellent young woman who stayed on top of our orders and made excellent suggestions.

What an amazing team!

If you’re debating dinner tonight, go check out this wonderful establishment! You will not be disappointed.“

“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!“

“Me and my husband came to try the food here today and we were so happy that we did. The food and the owner were amazing!“

“The food selections and suggestions were wonderful as was Zander’s (the sommelier ) suggestions for wines. It is an exciting dining experience with good value that is different than anything else that we have in Chattanooga. Service was great and it felt like a bit of Europe. We look forward to our next experience.“

“We were very impressed with Public House. It was crowded and we were sat at the bar on a long bench with two top tables so it was cozy. Now that I think of it, I feel like when I made the reservation it asked if you wanted bar or outside...but didn't ask if you wanted the restaurant. I would have preferred the restaurant. That being said, the noise level was as you would expect in a bar but not too bad. The salad was really good and really large. We could have split it. We tried the devil eggs and they were tasty and creamy. After those two, I was full, but still had two small plates to eat...chicken livers and beets. The chicken livers were the best I've had out. (I know, they're not for everyone!) I'd order them again if there weren't so may scrumptious items on the menu! The leftovers did heat up well in the air fryer :) And the roasted beets and goat cheese were perfection. My husband had the flounder special and said it was excellent. We would definitely go back.“

“Lovely restaurant with great food and wonderful staff.“

“We moved to Tennessee 2 years ago from NJ, we love it here. our search started for NJ, NY style pizza. And Today we found it at Southside Pizza, we ordered 2 slices to eat in, one bite and I knew I had to order a 20 inch pie to take home. although it takes 40+ minutes to get there, this will now be our pizza place ! Excellent service and very friendly staff. I'd give this pizza a 9.5, great crispy thin crust, sauce very good not too sweet,and the sausage has a nice spice to it !! thank you for a great pie, Dean and Donna“
