50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near Ooltewah

“Since its opening, The Local Goat has been the go-to overnight stop on our I-75 North/South trek. Initially this was because the restaurant was next to our hotel, but now we stop because of the great food. Today, I want to give a loud SHOUT OUT to our waitress, Skylar. She reflects good service and compliments the excellent food of The Local Goat experience. Sky engaged in a friendly conversation with a very sweet, personal touch; we will remember to ask for her on our next stop!“

We were so happy with our decision to come there. We will be back over and over again. The food was some of the best we have had and the entire service staff was so friendly. The cocktails were also yum. You definitely get your monies worth. It seems like a great place to work and a wonderful atmosphere. We can't wait to go back. Great job!“

“Jennifer, manager, was a pleasure to work with! She catered our dessert for the Chattanooga Newcomers luncheon by providing the large platter of baklava. She had them individually wrapped and placed on a large platter! EASY PEASY! Thank you!“

“We regularly go to Firebirds. This time we had the strip steak which was cooked perfectly medium rare. We split one entree as half the steak and half a baked potato are plenty for us, and they are kind enough to split it in the kitchen. Our server was very good, can't remember her name, but she was kept very busy by a very large, boisterous group at a nearby table. We didn't loiter with our meal, since I wanted to get away from the loud noise. The manager came over to offer us his apologies, and a gift card, which was very thoughtful on his part. In fact, we were thrilled to get the gift card, but never faulted the restaurant for that experience. Of course we will be back. Food is consistently very good, and their happy hour is the best around!“

“Love the food and atmosphere. It’s like coming home to grandma‘s house and having a big hug. However, I hate the changes in the newly remodeled restaurants I have been in also, the side/vegetable portions have become so small they often look more like a child’s portion, leaving me having to order more or add on a child’s plate of vegetables. Oh yes, in the bathrooms are universally, dirty, smelly, and disgusting no matter how far or near I travel. I should know I eat 2 to 3 times a week at Cracker Barrel.“

“The food is delicious, and all the staff is amazing. We come every week. We love how kid friendly the restaurant is also. Sara is a wonderful server. I highly recommend this place any time someone asks for a good Mexican meal. The carnitas are phenomenal! 10/10“

“The food and service were excellent!“

“Our wait was a little long for a reserved party, but the food is ALWAYS amazing, with great service! Our waitress tonight was so nice and attentive (especially considering we are very needy and “high maintenance”) 😬 worth the wait! A+“

“The best place to eat! While on the weekend they may be busy and it takes a few minutes to be seated most of the time we have no wait! The staff is so friendly. Kim is the best CHEF IN THE ENTIRE WORLD, and Miko along with Joko give the best dining service!!! The bartenders are also fantastic for those 21+! We come here multiple times a week and always will. Definitely worth the wait and the drive. From top of the line food to the bestest friends, this is best place to eat!!!!“

“Didn't know what to expect our first time here. The food was excellent!! - fresh delicious veggies, grilled chicken and beef - & HUGE portions. We ate on our bowls for 2 days! The man there was so nice & friendly. My brother was here visiting & he wanted to go again b4 he left. So glad we gave it a try!! 👏🏻👏🏻“

“I’m a very picky eater and when a friend suggested my husband and I eat at Haven’s with him we agreed. My husband had meatloaf, okra, cabbage with a corn muffin and I had the fried chicken wings, mashed potatoes, black eyed peas with a corn muffin. Every single thing we ate was the best we have ever tasted!! I couldn’t believe it. Our friend ordered the pork chops and could only eat one so my husband got to eat the other one. Seriously, it was hard to leave there with out ordering two or three meals to go. Since we live in Cleveland Haven's will see us at LEAST once a week. The girls there are precious and the food is cooked after you order. Such a Fantastic place!!!“

“We’ve eaten at Drakes, Chattanooga, since it’s opening and never been disappointed until today when a customer brought a dog inside to the inside “patio” seated at the table next to us. The dog was hyper and the man kept scratching it. Next a female joined him and began scratching the dog. The waiter reached down and also scratched the dog. Next time the waiter came by, the dog jumped up on her and again she scratched the dog. We asked to move inside to an empty booth. After we moved the man brought in another dog. Why were dogs allowed in the restaurant? They were NOT service dogs.“

“The waiter Ellie was the best she deserves a promotion came from alabama An will be back“

“Made accommodations for my vegetarian needs! Food was amazing!“

“I moved here 2 years ago and this was the first place I stop for dinner and since the first day they treated me like a local. The bartender asked me : You are not from here don’t you? And I said, No, I just moved with my family, and from there she started suggesting what to get from the menu, put me up to date with the area, and not only she introduced me to some of their regular customers she even recommended other restaurants, schools and even a good church. The staff has always been nice, but yes sometimes they are a little busy, what is understandable. Coming from FL I had to wait at least 45 min minimum just to get a table. In some occasions the owner has stopped by my table to say hi and to ask about how the service was going and once he even give me and my cousin to try for free the loaded nachos before they put them in the menu. In my opinion, not only the food has been great, (and I have tried most of the menu), but the staff has been extremely helpful and nice taking in consideration that I was new in the area. So for me this has been a great place so far, service is great, food is good and they try to at least make a personal connection with you which most of the places don’t even care. NYPD is a great place and Im happy we have it here in town.“

“during the floods last week I decided to try it, despite it pouring down raining, ordered a bag to go, I SPECIFICALLY said no pork sausage in it (health reasons) I get all the way home and guess what's in it? 😡 So I had to give it away, I called them and the young lady apologized and said if I bring it back (30 min drive in floodwaters) she would give me another, or if I came in later she would replace it. I came in today (with receipt) to get it and the manager told me she could only give me a 25% discount. The service is bad and the food is mediocre never again.“
