“This was my first time placing an order on their app (which is awesome) and I got the 3 pc honey bbq chicken tender with potato salad as the side. The tenders are GIGANTIC and delicious and I love that they use red potatoes in the potato salad which was also delicious. The pictures don’t do this meal enough justice because the place is so clean and the food is fantastic. Definitely recommend!!!!“

“This is one of the first BBQ joints I visited when I moved to the area and I have been craving it ever since. I live further away now, but was in the area last night and decided to stop in again. Fat Boy's is very unique and is a must try in the greater Chattanooga area (Ooltewah). From the outside and inside of the diner to the awesome food, you don't want to miss this place! The number one item I have been craving since I first ate here was their Mac & Cheese ! It is AMAZING and exactly what you are asking for when you think of ultimate comfort food. YUM!!!! I also want to mention for my Vegan and Vegetarian friends they have an extensive menu. Last night I had a cheeseburger and onion rings - Both were perfect! I loved the bun they used that stayed together even with my extra pickles. And the onion rings were still crispy and delicious despite my 20 min commute home! Now I know why I couldn't stop thinking about this place. Next time I won't wait a year to go there again!“

“This new location is perfect. I really dug the additional space and talk ceiling. My local spot off Lee Highway could use an expansion. The grilled chicken on my salad had a kick off spice and it was a welcome change. Also noticed this location has liquor. I hope to try in the future.“

“We decided to try Cheddars this evening. My friend had never been and it was a while since I was there. Brandon was our server. His attention to detail was admirable. We never had to ask for drink refills. Extra napkins were on the table before our order was even taken. We both had the shrimp alfredo. By far the best I have had. Perfectly seasoned with just the right amount of sauce and plenty of shrimp to last the dish. Kudos to the chef! We will be back! Will definitely recommend your establishment to our friends!❤️?❤️?❤️“

“Best chicken I've eaten in a long time. Although not same space as KFC, fast food v. sit down, flavor was amazing. Offerings were spread enough to please the kids but narrow enough to maintain their speciality. If you move to Eastern NC, please let us know. Btw.... I took the left over slaw home, yeah it was that good.“

“Food was great as usual. I more so had a question about the bread. I got a croissant as usual but was just wondering if they have changed supplier or if this is just a new kind of croissant they are using as it was much different from ones I’ve had before. Not really flaky or layered and didn’t have the same texture.“

“Food was good but - as usual - the mashed potatoes were cold. I’ve about quit ording potatoes from Cracker Barrel.Kid-friendliness: HATE kid-friendly restaurants. Had a couple of little heathens next to me this time. Parents let them run wild and scream bloody murder. And let them throw most of their food in the floor. If they can’t teach them how to behave in public they need to leave them at home !!“

“The food was delicious!! We had great customer service as well. The restaurant has a great layout and they've thought about everything. I love the energy, but it was too much for me personally as they yell out orders being ready. Seems fun, but was triggering for me. It's completely personal and experience based, so I ate outside. I highly recommend and plan to revisit every time I'm in Chattanooga. Big fan!“

“Wow! The bar-b-que is terrific. The pulled beef and chicken is moist with a nice smokiness. The ribs were fall-off-the-bone tender and lip-smacking good.Service at the drive through was a little perfunctory. I'll chalk it up to kiln temperature heat index. Her lack of enthusiasm won't prevent me from returning.“

“Super buttery southern cooking. It's fine but a little expensive, honestly. Some places blare the country music a little too loud, but the food is mostly consistent. Country kitsch decor and old times candy is available in the waiting area, if you're in to that kind of thing.“
