50 Best American Restaurants near Signal Mountain

“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 *****“

“We decided to stop by on a whim and so glad we did! Not only was the food delicious, the bartender was a gem, the service was awesome, and the other customers were so friendly. Can't wait to stop by again.“

“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.“

“A brunch all day restaurant is the perfect addition to the southside. I walk here, but there is a nice free parking lot adjacent. The bagels are the real deal, the tots are delicious, great options for everyone. I have loved everything I’ve tried. So far, my favorites: the French toast, the avocado toast with egg, and I love their thin crust pizza. Drinks, coffee drinks, great service - all the things that make me happy!“

“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!“

“We visited the area for the first time since this gem opened. We had such an enjoyable experience and meal at the chef’s counter Friday night that we sat there again for Sunday brunch. We really enjoyed the staff and how committed and excited they are to put really great food out of the kitchen. We will definitely come back when we visit the area!“

“Great food great service and friendly smiles“

“Very dog friendly! Love the patio! Great drinks and fantastic food!“

“Food and service were amazing, as always. We were shocked to have to now pay for parking!! A $300 dinner and we have to pay for parking! We were told by the staff they have to pay for parking as well! And don’t the owners also own the parking lot? Possibly this isn’t the best policy!“

“The atmosphere is wonderful, but the food is definitely the highlight!! Everything we had was exceptional!! We'll definitely be back!! I'm looking forward to trying everything on the menu!!“

“We had an out of the blue date night last night. My mom came over and we asked to go to dinner with no idea where to go. We decided to give Lakshore Grille a try and WOWWWWW. 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!“

“Wonderful service, atmosphere, and food!!! highly recommend!!!“

“Loved my burger, chips are great ..so fresh and crisp, my mushrooms were hot, crisp and delicious“

“Today my mom and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves at Southern Star. We both had your food bar, and it was filled with healthy as well as good, old fashioned comfort food. My husband loves chicken and dressing, your special today, as well as cornbread, so I bought him a portion to go. When I got home, I warmed it up for him, and of course, he loved it too! I was glad that I grabbed some of your baked goods, and so far, we have devoured the HUGE ginger snap cookie!!! It takes me back…thank you all for being so kind and attentive, especially Donna and another sweet lady but I failed to get her name. Thank you all for this great experience!“

“Holy crap. We only came to Chattanooga for my daughter's graduation and stopped here for lunch because it was near the venue, but this place... BEST BURGERS I've ever eaten! The staff were all super friendly and they even made a delayed to-go order so I could take a fresh lunch back to my kiddo when she got out of her practice. The aesthetic of the place was wonderful and people from all walks of life gathered there as if they, too, knew about the magic in the food. 12/10 will absolutely come back on my next visit to Chattanooga.“

“The food was fairly good, and the service was great. Tip: have an idea of what food you are in the mood before you open the menu. Ample options and a wide variety of food -> a little something for everyone! Our server was very knowledgeable and offered great recommendations. Pictured is the buffalo chicken wrap and butterfinger pie.“

“Love this place! They are fast and friendly and it doesn't matter what I order that day-I am never disappointed!“

“Nolagirl’s Gumbo prepared the food for a party I had last night and it was nothing short of amazing! Not only that, the personalized service provided to help me ensure my event went off flawlessly was exceptional. I highly recommend!“

“We had dinner at Nic and Norman's on Friday night. December 9th. Food and drinks were great. Service was good. Some wonderful person paid our tab. We thank you so much.“

“Service was fantastic! Great food and a very nice atmosphere.“

“100% recommend. Awesome pit stop while traveling. Great beer, and best dart boards I've seen across the country. Super vintage place with tons of pool tables and Kaylin was a super attentive and excellent bartender. Thanks to all. Great hospitality and friendly crew. A++“

“I’ve only been into this establishment twice and although I was irritated because I was unable to place a call in order so that I could walk in and grab my order, pay and then walk out, I understood that the server was by herself both times.

She completely made up for it all because she was a very kind and professional lady and I was not only impressed with her work ethic but also equally impressed at the fact that although she was overwhelmed she pushed through it all and was a server and a cook that made things happen for the customers.

This woman deserves not only a raise but also some sort of recognition from the company because it isn’t her fault that nobody wants to come to work.

Keep up the good work whatever your name is. I will be back just to see her in action again because she completely knocked it out of the ball park both times that I’ve been into this establishment.“

“Very understaffed for a Saturday night & homecoming weekend! Arrived for 6:45 seating, got to table immediately. Didn't get food until 8:05 then it was the wrong order! Would have gotten dessert if it hadn't been so late. Highly recommend spinach salad & filet. Very tender beef!🤗“

“Clean, calm, welcoming atmosphere. Absolutely delectable dishes with perfect flavor combinations and Top Notch ingredients. Highly professional staff, friendly and helpful service. Elevated and comfortable dining experience of five star dishes. Highly recommend.“

“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 staff are great and so friendly. We so enjoyed our meal, food was great.“

“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!“

“great food and excellent service. will definitely come back again.“

“Wonderful atmosphere, servers and food: can’t go wrong 😊✅“

“We went there for our Anniversary dinner tonight. The food was exceptional. Our server Jonathan was very friendly, knowledgable about the menu. He was also great at making sure our dinner needs were met. All the staff checked on all guests also. I would highly recommend this restuarant.“

“Had a great meal and great service. Would go there again!“

“I love these burgers so well and make it here so infrequently that I bought 3 cheese burgers with every thing and they reheated very well over the next 2 days. Impressive! And I had forgotten how good their fries. Next time I will order 3 of those too.“

“The food is consistently good. However, that store needs a serious cleaning. Our table had a very large wet/ dirty floor, probably an area over 3 foot in diameter. This was at our feet! The credit card scanner was grungy and is desperate need of wiping it down away well. The waiter did a good job.“

“Ordered tamales and didn't realize they would be twice the size of "normal". So I ended up with leftovers for lunch the next day. I got the pork mole ones. Packed with pork. Masa soft and yet firm at the same time. Not dry at all. Perfect. Literally only thing I'd change would be to ask for extra red sauce. I like the filling a bit more wet than these were. But not an actual complaint, just my personal preference. I will definitely be coming back for more & to try other menu items.“

“I had the veggie sandwich and the maple bacon brussel sprouts back in 2021 and I remembered how good it was to come back here in 2024 and order the exact same thing. Still amazing! And Brian is a great server.“

“Love Docs! Great food, great staff, great atmosphere!“

“Really one of the best in Chattanooga. Not only is the food phenomenal, the staff is really what sets it apart from the rest. Everyone we encountered could not be nicer and more attentive. It is now in my regular rotation.“

“I've been here twice in the span of two weeks and have always left with full satisfaction.

The employees are very kind and include me in conversations between themselves, which makes it feel much more like an at-home breakfast than just going to any restaurant for a quick bite to eat.

The food has always been fantastic. I've gotten the MVP breakfast both times because I can get all of my breakfast favorites in one meal! Eggs, bacon, hashbrowns, pancakes, biscuits and sausage gravy, AND unlimited coffee for only ~$15 which is fantastic in my opinion. It always leaves me perfectly full.

If I plan to go out for breakfast, I'll probably be coming here 90% of the time. Affordable and enjoyable. Thank you guys!“

“Excellent food and staff.“

“Zoe is going his best“

“We both had the Lone Star Brisket Hash and it was amazing…..all my fav ingredients.!!🧡“

“Home cooking at a great price. Love their breakfast special…… its no less than a legendary restaurant loved by Chattanoogas locals.“

“Very kid friendly and good food I think everyone should have a raise and that me and my children loved it here it was like the best service ever!!!!!“
