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.“

“Great little family owned restaurant. A group of 4 of us stopped on our way through from Florida and we will be back! Menu has something for everything and it was all delicious!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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 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!“

“Excellent service, delicious food. Ordered gator bites because I had never tried them- very good. Also had French Creole pasta- - yummy! Had a great meal here, shocked it wasn't crowded. Must have been because it was the night before Thanksgiving.“

“I've never had a bad time here. they've got a great beer selection, wonderful food, and music.“

“VickyT was awesome !!!!!!“

“The atmosphere in here alone made it worth the trip. Add in super friendly staff and some really flavorful pizza and what more could you want? Grabbed a slice of pepperoni and a slice of their special of the day. Tried the meatballs as an appetizer, which surprised me by their size, but they pack a lot of flavor in a small bite and the sauce they use is fantastic. Sweet little spot to check out if you’re in the area. Don’t be scared of the paid parking when you get there, it’s surprisingly cheap.“

“Grungy vegan spot with amazing food that feels like your grandparents from the south walked out the kitchen with it after pouring love galore into it.
Highly recommend this spot! And prices are very reasonable. We got the diamonds and rust place which has their infamous seitan and it was filling, nutritious and delicious.
Also the service was so down to earth and excellent.“

Tell your friends.“

“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!“

“My wife and I arrived a few minutes early but were immediately seated. We ordered the trout almondine with green beans with a side of mashed potatoes and a green salad. We accompanied this with a white wine (pinot grigio). The food was excellent in every regard. This was our anniversary and we were offered complimentary deserts with coffee. We had dined at Public House last year on our anniversary and used our $10 off card. The waitress was attentive and presented us with another $10 off card for use next year. We will be back for this occasion again for sure but also will be eating at this fine establishment other times throughout the year. The prices here are very reasonable. Chattanooga is lucky to have this restaurant.“

“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“

“This has become our go to for date night. It is getting harder to try different things when each time we have gone we have had the "favorite" dish. I am shellfish lover and husband meat and potatoes. The variety of meats and seafood as well as the various ways they prepare them are stellar. The quality and presentation is unmatched. Bridgeman's, St. John's, Hennen's move over there is a new leader of the pack!“
