“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!“

“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!“

“I went here for lunch last week and it was great! We stopped in i can't say enough good things about the staff! The host was immediately so nice and welcoming and our server Jess went above and beyond for us and was so nice to my toddler 🥲 we will definitely be back!“

“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!“

“An awesome dining experience and some of the best fried chicken I’ve ever eaten.“

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

“What a lovely experience with friendly staff and amazing food! We’ll definitely be back!“

“Our friends’ outing at Number 10 Restaurant was a huge success! From the moment we arrived, the ambiance set the perfect tone for a great night out. The food was nothing short of amazing—I had the steak special, and it was cooked to perfection. Plus, the side portions were huge. A special shoutout to Laura, whose service was the best we’ve experienced. She was attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed. If you’re looking for a restaurant that delivers incredible food, a great atmosphere, and top-notch service, Number 10 is a must-visit. Highly recommend!“

“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!“

“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.“

“100% recommend hands down!! the staff is so patient with me and very kind! what I noticed the owner was very hands on and worked right beside his staff. that speaks volumes in a good business! I'm picky. and I do not have 1 bad thing to say!! this place was perfect!“

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

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

“10/10 recommended. I didn't get our servers name but she was the kindest gal. The food and drinks were on point and because we were there for a late birthday celebration she brought me out the best chocolate custard.“

“The place is awesome. It's brightened the downtown scene for the past 40+ years...that's difficult to achieve in the Chattanooga market where the majority of new businesses are unsuccessful which causes them to shut their doors within their first 2 years of operation. CBC has powered through all the diversity to create a unique atmosphere which invites everyone to enjoy quality dinning while playing some pool or throwing darts. It also houses an array of fine cigars to smoke following your meal. It has 2 full service bars which allows you to choose which environment you prefer, downstairs has sports bar feel while upstairs has 12 pool tables with an on-demand jukebox to blast your favorite music. You need to check it out sometime“

“I had NolaGirl’s for the first time yesterday. The seafood gumbo & jambalaya egg rolls are AMAZING!!!! I will definitely be back soon!“

“Delicious food , great coffee ☕️“

“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.“

“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!“

We both loved the food... My livers were sooooo good.
Thanks“

“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.“

“Great place! Awesome staff! Highly recommended everything about it!“

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

“My fiancé and I had dinner there last night and had the best experience. Ezra was our server and took great care of us. We started with the fried green tomatoes with pimento cheese and the award winning wings. They were some of the best wings we have ever had. Perfectly seasoned and double fried. My fiancé had the 1885 Burger and I chose the lightly battered and fried flounder with a side of mac and cheese. His burger looked and tasted amazing. It was a big and juicy burger cooked a perfect medium temp. My flounder we absolutely delicious. So light and fresh. The Mac and cheese was real Mac and cheese. Very creamy and baked with bread crumbs on top. We also really enjoyed cocktails and agree we would give the 1885 grill 5 Stars!“

“🤯 we love to try bbq anywhere we go and sugars is definitely one you should stop in and try when you’re in Chattanooga. We got the ribs, sampler taco, brisket poppers, fried grilled corn, and spicy okra chips. The brisket popper is a jalapeño popper filled with cheese brisket and topped with I believe their house salsa- so flavorful. The taco sampler comes with a brisket, pulled pork and chicken taco. Each taco has cilantro, onion and radish and a crema or aioli sauce. My favorite was the brisket then the pulled pork. The. The ribs which were delicious and perfectly cooked without any sauce we sampled all of the sauces on a bite and our favorite was the red wine vinegar and chili sauce. So unique. Everything was unexpected but delicious. So happy we stopped in for lunch.“
