Around 1 on a Wed, the place was near empty. Greeted upon entering and order was taken promptly. Not a large, but adequate menu. Typical city lunch dining experience. Several interesting sides to choose from. Offered a military discount (base on my ball cap) without having to ask! Great job and thank you. Chicken salad sandwich was larger than I expected, with plenty of chicken salad. It was very tasty, but did have a little bit of a bite. Fine for me, but not everyone will appreciate the spiciness. The Brussel sprouts were excellent. read more

Bantam & Biddy - Chicken Salad Sandwich with Brussel sprouts - Gluten-Free Near Me - Chattanooga, Tennessee

This is one of my favorite places to visit whenever I'm in Chattanooga or Atlanta. Most of their menu is gluten free or can be made gluten free and they use a dedicated fryer. Everything I've eaten here is great and finding tasty gluten free fried food is a dream come true. Their gluten free desserts and coffees are also great. They do offer dairy free options if needed. Only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is you have to order from the counter meaning even if you eat there you don't really have a server if you need anything and it can get a bit cramped when busy. That's my only complaint and it's never stopped me from eating there. read more

Bantam & Biddy - Fried chicken tenders, fried Fried Okra Jalapenos & Creole Mayo Fried Green Tomatoes Side - Gluten-Free Near Me - Chattanooga, Tennessee

I took a 8 hour drive to Tennessee from North Carolina. I have celiac disease and there is almost no where near me that offers this level of gluten free options. I had no clue the store closed at 3. "My fault". I found this place my last day in Chattanooga, and arrived 5 minutes late. I walked up and knocked on the door and saw the employee grab their stuff and run to the back and hide. I sat out there waiting, as well as knocking. And no one came out. My order cost my $100 and I will most likely never be able to come back to this establishment again. I didn't receive a phone call, heads up, or any effort being put in for me to come pick up my food. read more

Got the protein scramble, it was amazing. Asked for a small adjustment and they were cool about it. This is a no-frills, order-at-the-counter street-front in Downtown Chatt. People are friendly. read more

It was fine. The service was generally friendly but they were obsessed with forcing us to sit at a two top table when it was completely empty and we had our work with us - we really needed space. I'd have understood if it was crowded but they repeatedly directed us to the smallest tables and were unhappy when we insisted we needed a little more room. Again, totally empty, and I indicated we'd leave avoid it fill up. The food was average. I wasn't a huge fan of my latte. We had a gift card so it was more affordable but I think we'd be unhappy had we paid full price. I don't think we'll be back with so many great options in the area, but it's an okay place to go as it is not crowded. read more

We were in town for the International Bluegrass Music Conference and Festival and really enjoyed our fresh baked biscuits with cheese and bacon. Lots of egg biscuit options here, served with enthusiasm! A great place to eat! We will return! read more

First and foremost, the food was delicious. We ordered scrambled and over easy eggs, grits, bacon, chicken fingers and pancakes. All were scrumptious, even if they did forget the cheese on the over easy eggs, then brought out some shredded COLD cheese in a cup! Now the reason for the 4 not 5 stars. The pricing! Breakfast for two people was $52. A single pancake was $6.00. I'm all for capitalism, but dang... $6.00 for one pancake. Then, they brought the food to the table as it was ready. So, the eggs arrived first, with a biscuit. We hadn't ordered it, but thought it came with the eggs. We happily tried it because it looked great, but it was doughy and undercooked. Then, upon further inspection of the receipt, the biscuit was $4.00. Again, the breakfast was delicious (except the biscuit), just be sure to check the prices BEFORE ORDERING. And, if you didn't order a biscuit, don't eat it, because they will not refund you. Anyway, I will say the prices were available, but we just ordered what we wanted, never thinking we'd be $52 in. read more

Amazing food!!! Almost everything is gluten free except the biscuits. One of the only places with gluten free fried chicken. The staff is amazing and the food is even better. read more

WOW! WOW! WOW! You would have thought we were royalty because they rolled out the red carpet. This particular location is family owned and you can 100% tell the love, care and detail they put in EVERY day! First of all eating out of town can be stressful but with all of our Celiac Disease, allergies and medical dietary restrictions it's near impossible. They made special to order everything and it was... Hot! Delicious! Correct! and came out FAST! Also I love when restaurants bring out the kids food first. Adults can wait but this is such a nice touch when places do that. Overall Perfection! We could not have asked for more...the perfect family night out! All I can say is THANK YOU! read more

I walked in with my service dog, who was wearing a service dog vest and was rudely approached by the woman in green hair saying that animals were not allowed in the store which I corrected her and told her I had a service service dog. She wanted to see us outside. I said I'd rather sit inside. She left us. There never came back and I had to go find her to wait on us and she turned out to be the assistant manager. She was so rude so unprofessional made our trip horrible there were five of us there and witnessed the entire debacle. She was terrible. I would never want my enemy to eat here much less suggest this to anyone I really care about. She was feral and rude and has no business working with the public. I hope she gets fired. She was terrible. read more

Wonderful and delicious food for the celiac disease person. I have never had food in a restaurant this good since being gluten free. Friendly and sweet people are who you will encounter here. Even desserts are offered, I tried the chocolate chip cookies... read more

Have eaten here a few times and it was fine, but picked up a call in order and walking out heard the staff complaining about not getting a tip. I'm sorry but that's inappropriate. If people want to tip when they just walk in and pick-up, it's their business but that's doesn't constitute a tip in my opinion. I'm sick of getting terrible customer service. read more

Gluten-free pancakes! Eating out hasn't been easy since having to go gluten-free. Many restaurants will claim to be GF then only have omelets & salads as their options. The food was delicious, bacon was perfectly cooked and grits so creamy. We visited on Mother's Day and it wasn't busy when we arrived. Less than half the tables were occupied and the large majority of the non-occupied were dirty as if they didn't have anyone bussing tables. For a quick service restaurant, the pricing was steep (we paid $78 before tip for my family of five). read more

Pure love. This place met and exceeded every expectation. At 98% gluten free, I was able to safely enjoy pretty much whatever I wanted. Beyond its GF status, it has some of the best fried okra and sweet jalapeño corn bread that I have had in years. I know this is a franchise but other than name, this one holds on to its uniqueness and mission of the founding chef. I ordered the southern breakfast with the creaminess grits, bacon, eggs over east, jalapeño corn bread and a small side of okra. I am not overly full, but very satisfied. I can't believe this place doesn't have more hype! I plan to tell everyone. I am also sad I couldn't eat the full menu and plan to come back in a few days to get things to take home. read more

This spot for breakfast was magical. Very magical. I always have to ensure wherever we go has gluten free options due to my wife being celiac. And boy, did this place deliver. Nestled in the heart of Chattanooga on Market Steeet, B&B is a gem of a spot. You walk in and give your order at the counter, which I like because it's over and done with and you can just grab a table knowing the food is coming. The iced coffee is divine and got my blood moving. Had a nice richness that had mocha with a tinge of hazelnut on the palate. My wife loved the Southern which was all gluten-free from the cornbread to the fried okra. She loved the pimento cheese to the point she took some of mine that I ordered for my biscuits and gravy spicy breakfast. The biscuits are deliciously made with goodness. Crusty on top, flaky and soft on the inside. The biscuit compliment the savory of the gravy, which I additionally enjoyed with two farm eggs served over medium and bacon. Because why would I order breakfast without bacon? That would be preposterous. The serving staff are lovely. Very hospitable and helpful with the ordering and ensuring we had what we wanted. They even have $1 mimosas from 10 to 3 during the weekend! How great is that! Before we left, we received a complimentary gluten free slice of coconut cake, which my wife loved. Here at Bantam & Biddy, they know how to treat people right, especially travelers from out of state like us. read more

The best gluten free food I have ever had. I am gluten sensitive (same symptoms as celiac) so I am always on the lookout for new places. While visiting Chatt, we were looking for a breakfast spot, and we found Bantam & Biddy. First off the service is amazing. It's a walk up to the counter and order kind of place. The woman who took our order was so sweet, made sure to explain the celiac procedures, and made sure I knew what I could order (which includes all fried items, all the sides, and cakes, cookies, brownies). I ordered the gluten free pancakes and a side of the fried chicken. Omg, the fried chicken was amazing. The flavor was good, the breading was light. The pancakes had the right amount of chew and weren't dry or grainy like a lot of gluten free items. The manager (maybe owner) came over and talked to us. Let us know the woman who took our order was his mom. We chatted and laughed. I will definitely will be back. Heck, I'll drive here from where I live in Georgia to eat here anytime. Even if I am 2 hours away. read more

Yo! My two friends ordered Caesar salads and I ordered the skillet. It was AMAZING. The skillet consisted of Potatoes, roasted chicken (at least what it tasted and looked like), peppers, then eggs on top of that, then their famous incredibly battered chicken strips! Large portion size and an incredible meal! I urge you to order the eggs "soft scrambled with cheese" if you're into that. That's how I got them. I also had a honey cinnamon cold brew suggested by our enthusiastic and helper server. The flavor was really good but it was very sweet. The ambiance was kinda of weird and disorganized at the bar area as it looked like they were moving out (or in). Plus, the RR was way down the hall and not attached the restaurant. No biggie but because of that I give it "4 stars". Food was a 5 though!!! Check out the skillet! All in all a great experience! read more

Hands down the best gluten free fried chicken ever! Whether you have Celiac's or not, this fried chicken will change your life! The sides are also incredible!

Lots of gluten free options. I ordered the chicken strips- since I haven't had good GF strips forever, and a side salad and roasted Brussels. My boyfriend ordered the 4 pc fried chicken, potato salad, and Brussels. The Brussels were fried, not roasted, so really greasy meal when you add fried chicken. Also my salad was about 4 spinach leaves, a cucumber slice, and a cherry tomato. Seriously. Ridiculous. They were out of half of the menu it seemed. The machines for juice were broken and we watched a VERY LARGE cock roach cross the floor behind us. The table next to us also witnessed the roach. It was about 2 or more inches long. I don't say LARGE Just because. I almost asked for our money back then. I should have taken pictures. My boyfriend suffered from diarrhea that night which made him not feel well during our kayak race the next day. I'd say his food there was the cause. It's an order at the counter and they bring it to you place. Not fancy, but ok. They have a dessert case where you order. I did get a GF carrot cake cupcake and a brownie. The carrot cake was extremely dry. The brownie was good, but so rich and sweet it became 4 servings for me. I guess that's a plus. Decor was like a new diner. You could sit at a counter area near where they made the food. If we weren't a party of 4 we should have. read more

Bantam & Biddy - Beyond good and gluten free - Gluten-Free Near Me - Chattanooga, Tennessee

When I ordered I was asked if I was celiac. They also brought my husband's food Celiac, so I could try his sides. The fried chicken, macaroni & cheese, sweet potato fries, jalapeno corn muffins and fried Brussels were all delicious. They also carry my favorite Gluten free beer and several different gluten free cakes, brownies and no bake cookies. The kind gentleman who runs it is very knowledgeable. We came on a Sunday and had the opportunity to talk to him. I found out they also sell their chicken breading, waffle mix and have seasonal meal kits/family dinners. I recommend following them on Instagram. Chattanooga is so lucky to have this restaurant. I can't wait to go back. It was so worth the hour drive. read more

I was unable to experience the sit-down version of this spot but oh my gosh, let me tell you. For Easter weekend, my family ordered out from Bantam & Biddy. Being celiac I was SO excited to try out their food. The mac & cheese.... I still dream about it, I can't stop thinking about it, & I cannot wait to come back to 'nooga just to have that Mac & Cheese once more. Their other food was great too, I loved the mashed potatoes, so yummy. The dessert cups were delicious as well, we got banana pudding &chocolate pudding. LET ME TELL YOU. That chocolate pudding had gluten-free oreo crumbs on it & I could not get enough. That's all, please try this place out, for me, lol. Whether you're gluten-free or not, trust me, you'll want to be back! read more

So many gluten free options! This is more of a fast food place however. The food was pretty good, would come back if we were in the area.

First, whether you are gluten free or not, there is no way you won't love this food! Don't pass it up! This is the best gluten free lunch I've had in years. The fried mushrooms were just over the top good. The first ones I've had in years. The family that owns and runs it is so kind, and they really get how important being able to eat safe food is for those of us with celiac or food allergies. The first thing they asked was "do you have any allergies?" I can see myself making the two hour drive to Chattanooga just to eat here again! read more

So happy to have found gluten free fried chicken!! It was delicious. They took our food allergies seriously and we felt safe eating there. read more
