Simple Food. Good Ideas. Great Fun.
An enthusiastic greeting by the staff upon entering the clean, nicely designed restaurant was a good start to having a great early lunch at the Maple Street Biscuit Company in Chattanooga. While the staff and the environment were notable, the food is what really made the experience. I had the bacon, lettuce and tomato biscuit sandwich. […]
We celebrated our anniversary this year a day early by having lunch at Clyde’s on Main in Chattanooga. Although Clyde’s on Main has been open for a year, it was our first time there. It has a friendly, laid back atmosphere with a variety of seating options. The decor is eclectic. It has cocktail tables made from […]
I need to apologize to you. I broke the first rule of food blogging: Do not eat before you take pictures. Yes, I confess that once my dinner arrived at Mrs. B’s Reggae Cafe my brain disengaged upon the wonderful aroma hitting my nose and I just started eating. I even totally forgot about my […]
Chattanooga has a variety of restaurants (and a few stands) that sell tacos. Some of the places sell authentic Mexican and/or Tex-Mex tacos. Taco Mamacita’s is not one of them. It does not claim to be. Taco Mamacita’s tacos are more of a creative fusion than the standard offerings. They reflect a variety of flavors […]
If you are looking for the best restaurants in the Chattanooga, TN, area you do not have to look any further than the Old Saigon Vietnamese Restaurant. To me, it is the epitome of what a great restaurant should be: friendly, relaxed, clean, great food, and reasonably priced. The owners and staff are very welcoming. […]
The Bluegrass Grill was on my list of places to try since the early, cold winter weekday morning (especially cold for the South) that I saw people lined up out the door as I drove past. I thought that they must have something especially good to get people in Chattanooga to brave the cold. Well, […]
Cardin’s Drive-In in East Knoxville, Tennessee is an authentic blast from the past that is serving up some great food and ice cream today. Like some of my favorite places including Tom’s Ice Cream Bowl in Ohio and Stewart’s Drive-In in West Virginia, Cardin’s is not a modern take on a classic (like Sonic) but […]
It is rare for me to find a restaurant where I like everything about it. However, that is what has happened with Kabob-ster in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Kabob-ster has great Middle Eastern cuisine at reasonable prices in a clean, bright casual atmosphere. It is a non-chain, local establishment in an area of town that does not […]
It had been a long day for us. It had not started out as a fun mother-daughter day, but rather a follow-up trip to a pediatric dermatologist in Nashville that my eight-year-old did not want to make, especially since it meant an early morning start. However, it started to turn into a fun day when […]
As I pulled into a parking space in front of Thai Phooket I had serious doubts that I should be taking my 8-year-old to eat at this establishment. A quick double check on Urbanspoon somewhat reassured me that it was indeed “kid friendly” and had decent food. If it had not been a Sunday afternoon […]
