Used to come here alot when I was younger. My new job and doctor require I drive to Chattanooga sometimes, and whenever I start to get hungry heading down I-75 this is the one place that always pops into my mind! The BBQ sandwich and fried okra taste nostalgic, and their chess pie is some of, if not the best I've ever had!

Best in the world. Over medium slaw.. no bbq sause needed. I order 2 sndwiches, no sides. Grew up eating here. 60 years as of now. My Favorite.. and yes I am related family but no matter. The best on my list. Hope you agree. Remember I recommend over-medium hot slaw. Not medium. Not hot.. just right.. just good eats!

A hidden gem that not a lot of folks know about unless you live in the area. Some of the best Barbecue in Chattanooga! You gotta save room for dessert though! Coconut Creme Pie will hurt ya! The best in town. Service here is top notch as well!

The food was ok and the service was great. As far as the atmosphere, it was a roadside bbq restaurant. There were a few little tables and not much else. It is a place I'll go back to if I'm in the area and want bbq.

I had the Pork Dinner with baked beans, potato salad, okra and rolls. The food was really good! I also tried the hot slaw and that was really good too. We had excellent service! We did take a couple of pieces of pie to go. We had Chocolate and Coconut both are very good.

Sliced pork bbq, with tomato and lettuce. Service was friendly and fast. I recommend this place. Its also fairly close to the interstate for you travelling. Recommend Experience this place if you're hungry and in the area.

First time trying this place out and really not sure if I’m impressed. Although they call it a “bbq” place, I don’t see how. Ribs are only served Friday and Saturday. Essentially, the menu consists of chicken or pork. Both sandwich’s weren’t seasoned well and lacking flavor. The Cole slaw was absolutely flavorless. Chili tastes like it’s typical canned at the store. The hot slaw was very interesting but didn’t enjoy the flavor. You can’t beat the pricing compared to every other place nowadays. Might come back one day to try the ribs

My family has been eating at Couch's for five generations. I just read the 1-star reviews and just shake my head. No, it isn't pulled pork and believe it or not, shaved pork doesn't make it blasphemy. It is very lean which means you don't have to contend with chunks of fat or gristle. And there is more than an ample amount of pork on their sandwiches. The hot slaw is the very best I have ever had and at 68, I've eaten more than my share of hot slaw around the country. The homemade, freshly baked pies with mounds of real meringue are exceptional. There is a reason this hole-in-the wall with virtually no atmosphere has been in business since the 1940's. Don't listen to the haters. Try their superb SLICED pork sandwiches or plates and don't forget the pies. Without preconceived notions, you will have a great meal like the vast majority of customers will attest to.

Oh my goodness! Best barbecue ever! The pork is shaved,, not pulled,, and has a wonderful smokey flavor. Ribs are served on the weekend, while they last, so best to go for Friday lunch if you want some--they are cooked to perfection! Nice homey atmosphere, friendly and efficient staff and yummy homemade pies!! Ya gotta stop here and enjoy! (I would post pictures but don't know how to)

My mom is crazy for this place. I'll tell you what, when I drive her here to pick up her food, she was accidentally already wearing a Couch's BBQ tshirt ??

We stopped by today for lunch and they quickly seated our large group. The staff were very friendly, helpful and the service was excellent!! The food arrived promptly, the orders were correct and it was hot and delicious! We were very happy we stopped by this local favorite!! If in the area, I definitely suggest you check them out.

The strawberry pie and hot slaw are amazing! I personally like pulled pork vs thinly sliced. It's personal preference, but I had to try it. Tea is fantastic. Okra, beans and potato salad are okay. Service was great! I recommend trying it for yourself.
