Restaurants near Signal Mountain

“We absolutely love Rallo’s. Drinks are cold, food is made fresh to order. The pizza is to die for! Sam and Ron have a true gem on the mountain.”

“Amazing service. We gave Brianne an idea and she gave us a masterpiece! By far the easiest vendor we worked with and the only one willing to tackle what we were asking for. She was very responsive and we didnt worry one bit if our cake was going to be ready on time or not. The flavour of the cake was out of this world, I had some for breakfast the next day! From the first email to the final product I give it a 10/10.”

“Love this place and love the staff as well👍🏻❤️”

“I received one of the best cakes I have ever had from your bakery as a gift. Really good”

“Enjoyed these wonderful iced sugar cookies (probably the best ever) when we got them in a gift box this weekend at a wedding…. Wished I could’ve bought them from the other guests to take some home!!!”

“with my busy schedule lately I have been stopping in and grabbing healthy salads and meals. It is so much better than fast food. The sesame noodle salad last week was epic! I'm stopping in today to pick up a salad and some fresh tuna salad. please make the chilled shrimp salad again, it's fabulous! 5- Star *****”

“Cute shop up a mountain! So many yummy bakery items and food options. Delicious coffee with any roast to choose from. They even have decaf! Excited to find this place definitely want to come back!”

“Stoped by today and was able to have a great conversation with Seth who was extremely helpful and nice. The BBQ there smells and tastes great, would highly recommend dropping in and tasting some for yourself.”

“Oh buddy, buckle up, because I’m about to sing the praises of El Metate in Signal Mountain, Tennessee like it’s the grand finale at a fireworks show.

If you’ve ever said, “I could really go for some tacos that make me question everything I thought I knew about joy,” then El Metate is where you need to be. I walked in expecting a regular ol’ Mexican meal. I walked out feeling like I’d been hugged by a mariachi band and kissed on the forehead by a warm flour tortilla.

Let’s talk chips and salsa first. They come out faster than your cousin Gary at a NASCAR race, and they do not play around. The chips are fresh, crispy, and clearly made by someone who respects the sacred geometry of the tortilla. The salsa? Spicy enough to make you feel alive, but not so spicy you need a medic. It’s the kind of salsa that makes you nod after the first bite and say, “Oh yeah. We’re gonna be friends.”

Now, the food. Sweet mercy. I got the fajitas, and when they brought them out, the whole restaurant turned to stare like a soap opera twist had just happened. Sizzling, steaming, making sounds like a Fourth of July sparkler—if fajitas had a theme song, mine were playing it. And the portions? Let’s just say I had leftovers and zero regrets.

My wife got the enchiladas and made sounds I usually only hear when she’s watching Hallmark movies and someone finds love in a small-town Christmas tree farm. The rice was fluffy, the beans were comforting, and everything on the plate had the audacity to be delicious.

Service? Impeccable. Friendly without being fake. Our waiter remembered our drink order and gave me extra guac without judging me. That’s the kind of hospitality that deserves a parade.

El Metate is the kind of place where you can bring your kids, your grandparents, your in-laws, your mailman, and they’ll all leave smiling and full. Heck, bring someone you don’t like—they’ll probably forgive you after a plate of chimichangas.

So if you’re on Signal Mountain and not eating at El Metate, what are you even doing with your life? Put down whatever sad sandwich you were planning on and get yourself to taco heaven. Just be warned: you’ll think about those fajitas in the shower for the next three days.”

“Pretty good food. The lady behind the counter wasn’t rude but said very little. I had the chicken sandwich meal. I think the better deal is the chicken fingers cause you get a couple more fingers in exchange for the bread for the same price.”

“Love the nice outdoor seating they have!”

“This is the best Chinese takeout restaurant in Chattanooga! I've been going here for years and have never been disappointed! The food is classic, delicious, and not overpriced and the restaurant makes you feel like home! 10/10”

“Subway today was fast and friendly. Ordered a subway club and it was prepared pretty quickly including time to toast. Paired the sandwich with the raspberry cheesecake cookies and a tea and I was set for lunch.”

“This place was awesome!! Great atmosphere and very friendly! We had the best server Daniel ever!! I highly recommend this place to everyone!!!”

“I always prefer the “made from scratch” & “Mom and Pop” type places instead of the big name restaurants. I happen to be looking at a Chattanooga magazine at my daughter‘s house while visiting last week and ran across a little feature on the Bluegrass Grill. Knowing I would be taking one of my daughters to lunch for her birthday while visiting, this sounded like the perfect place to try. And by golly, it certainly was the perfect place! Both of my daughters and I really enjoyed the Eggs Benedict and were pretty picky about our hollandaise sauce. My three grandsons enjoyed their pancakes and French toast and one took a chance at the jalapeño bacon and loved it. My daughters have lived in the area for several years but neither had been there before. I know they will be back and so will I during future visits! And reading the story behind the grill. What a blessing your history has been to so many people! Thank you for your compassion and your heart’s mission. That made the visit to the Bluegrass Grill even more special! God Bless you all!”

“Zaya Korean Steakhouse in Chattanooga is hands down one of the best dining experiences we’ve had! We went for the Wagyu steak feast and it was absolutely incredible—perfectly cooked, melt-in-your-mouth flavor, and beautifully presented. The ambience here is just next level—modern, stylish, and still very warm and welcoming. It feels like the kind of place that’s perfect for a date night, special occasion, or just treating yourself. Our server, Carson, was phenomenal. Friendly, attentive, and really knew the menu well—he made great suggestions and made sure everything was perfect the whole evening. We also loved all the sides and the way everything is served—it’s such a fun and interactive dining experience. The drinks were also top-notch and paired so well with the meal. If you’re in Chattanooga and looking for an unforgettable dinner, Zaya is a must. We’ll definitely be back!”

“Victoria Rose is an excellent server. She has a great personality and strives to provide a great dining experience.”

“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.”

“Great atmosphere, beautiful restaraunt, & amazing staff. So glad we got reservations here when visiting from Knox. The food & cocktails are phenomenal! Very grateful for the experience”

“Beautiful Garden setting for wine time”

“Dinner was wonderful and they made it very special. Our server was amazing. We got to try new food that was spectacular. The server recommended so many good items from the menu. We will certainly be back for more!”

“the food is amazing, though a bit sad they change the menu weekly...guess I'll try something new the next time I eat here and there WILL ne a next time”

“Rodizio Grill - Downtown Chattanooga is the best place for a nice meal with all the meats and delicious salads you can eat.”

“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”

“What an overall phenomenal experience we had with Mr. T’s! The owners both personally responded to an inquiry I had sent in about a large order placed for our fantasy football draft. Their customer service was incredible. We got the food right on time and it was hot and tasty. The pizzas were fantastic and the wings were crispy and delicious. Nate the delivery guy was on top of his game! We will order again and again!”

“our server, Mary, was amazing. she made us (apart of 7) feel comfortable immediately. The food was delivered quickly and was delicious. Thank you!!”
