    My dog very content with his order from the child's menu

    The hamburgers are the perfect size and delicious be well. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I sat outside because of my dog. They automatically brought some water for me and my dog.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service is so good. A very good choice for a burger. I'm m coming back to try the chorizo meatloaf.

    Make Basecamp YOUR base camp bar and restaurant! We were about to head out of town and needed a quick bite to eat that was also dog friendly - and Basecamp landed on my radar. The outdoor seating is rustic but comfortable, especially with my pup in tow. The Hoff's Hot campfire wings are FIRE, no pun intended. Not too spicy, but perfectly saucy and meaty. The Basecamp stew was a little heavy but hearty. The tacos were also solid, stuffed with meat, sauce and toppings. But is it wrong for me to say that I LOVED the fries the most? Because I couldn't stop eating them. Food is solid and prices are reasonable: I'll definitely be back next time I'm back in Chattanooga for wings, fries and a beer (I was all boozed out this trip already).

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Nice outdoor seating with tasty food and friendly service.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We ordered burgers with fries, they were delicious - and our server brought our dog some water which is always a nice gesture. Try them out!

    Nachos that look okay, but were cold with unmelted bagged cheddar.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's fair to say I like Base Camp's location and back patio, a lot of the seating needs to be redone as there's peeling paint and warped wood everywhere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I was careful to avoid splinters when I sat down.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food was very underwhelming. The Stew was more like a beef gravy with mushrooms, very salty, tasted like it had been simmering for weeks, and that nobody had bothered to taste it for whether it was fit to serve. Nachos were my next plate and I didn't finish them, they had some decent queso but were cold when served and were just chips with unmelted cheddar. Nothing about them said "good nachos", when I'm confident my 8 year old nephew could've popped something more satisfying out of the microwave. Also it took forever to get the food, close to 35 mins to get a beer, a bowl of soup, and nachos is pretty terrible when they're not even that busy.

    Nachos + beer!

    Chill patio, good beer + food. Despite the crowd on a sunny Friday night, we were able to snatch a table on the patio. Service was quick - we got beer + the nachos to split. Beer and food were great. The food going out to other tables also looked great so we'll have to come back to try some more dishes!

    Staff was so kind and very efficient. Our food was just ok, I had the Mac and cheese and it could use more cheese sauce/flavor for being labeled gourmet and was a bit cold which I was surprised by since it wasn't a super big restaurant. I did order grilled chicken but they forgot that. Cornbread had a weird taste to it, we couldn't figure out. Everyone just felt their food was on the ok side, not horrible but wouldn't choose to go here. Very small inside dining area, nice large side covered patio.

    We randomly tried this place on a whim and pleasantly surprised! Friendly service and nice atmosphere. The food was surprisingly very good! They had a nice selection of local beers to try out, too. We sat outside on the patio since it was a nice day. They had really good music playing over the radio, too. Our server was very sweet and attentive. It's a short walk from the pedestrian bridge and splash pad area.

    The Big Pimmen was outstanding and memorable. Service was warm and full of local tips. Great recommendations all around.

    Went with a friend for dinner. We sat outside as it was a busy night. Parked in the back so there was parking nearby. The tables were long so you could do a shared space. I got the chicken nachos and my friend got the wings. The food was really good. My friend said the wings were also tasty.

    Cloudy but beautiful!

    In for an early lunch on a cloudy but comfortable day. First time on the North Shore and first time to this interesting restaurant. We passed through the restaurant on the way to the patio/deck which offers delicious views to the river. An expansive beer selection accompanying a comfort food menu awaits. The fifth star would require better cleaning- the food, fork and other stuff on the floor needs to not be there, but it looked like they are short staffed like every other restaurant. Our server was great, knew the beer offerings and made suggestions that were perfect for both of us. My burger was delicious and the sweet potato fries were seasoned well, but could have been a bit crispier. My wife had the quesadilla and cornbread and liked both. Maybe I should stop looking around the restaurant and focus only on the company, the food and the view. Nah. Nice spot - would definitely come again.

    Veggie sliders, side of Gourmet Mac and Cheese
    Lauren M.

    Amazing! The Vegetarian sliders were the best I've ever had in my life. Thank you for having vegetarian options!

    We loved this place! The salads and sandwiches were very healthy, fresh, and tasty. The staff were cool and pleasant. The outdoor patio, which allows dogs, has great music in the background. And the view!

    Cobb salad, wings and fancy southern salad.

    Is there a full bar, for cocktails or beer only?

    Beers only so far as I know of. They do have a nice selection and some ciders

    Is their outdoor seating dog friendly?

    It looked like it from my 2nd visit.

    Is this in the old North Chatt Cat space?

    I believe it is.

    I got the trout as the main dish, and it came with two sides of your choice. I got the Chef's…read morecollard greens and beets with goat cheese. I have to say, this meal was SO good. Every one of the sides looks so good and fresh that I wanted to get each one of them just to try it! The fish was cooked perfectly and was nice and tender. The added little muffin I didn't expect was a nice touch and delicious. The collard greens were SO GOOD. I'd get them again. So flavorful and cooked well. The beets were fresh and the goat cheese carried so much flavor. For the desserts, we got the carrot cake with pecans and chocolate cheesecake. Both were soooo good. I would get both of them again, especially the carrot cake which was so warm and moist. And the candied pecans were such a nice complement to the cake - not too sweet at all. The ambience is super nice and fresh, and our server was so sweet and engaging. The hostess as well. Everybody there was so nice and welcoming.

    A return visit to Champy's is always on the menu when we visit Chattanooga. You get exactly what…read moreyou expect, and the expectations for great fried chicken are high. We walked in a little after 1:00 on a Sunday and were seated right away. We sat on the patio, which was delightful, and enjoyed the smooth country live music while we ate. We had a Buffalo Wrap, Chicken Tenders, Dark Meat Meal, and half chicken at our table, and all were excellent. The chicken is always crispy on the outside and moist on the inside, just the way great fried chicken should be. All of our sides were good as well and included: Cole Slaw, Potato Salad, Mac and Cheese, and Fries. I didn't get any photos this time, but take a look at everyone else's as they would pretty much be the same, LOL

    Holy moley I was not ready for this!!!!!…read more Chicken tenders - fantastic! Crispy and flavorful Green beans - honestly, I truly believe these are the BEST green beans I've ever had. And that's saying something given all I've had. Mashed potatoes and gravy - good but gravy seened a bit watered down. Mac and cheese - Meh. Decent but not much flavor. Middle of the road. Tamales - absolutely AMAZING!!!!! Definitely worth ordering. Wonderful spices, a bit spicy which adds another dimension too. Dipping sauce - omg this is so next level! Perfect balance of cream and flavor makes this one of the best dipping sauces I've ever had for chicken too!!! Wow. Now I see why this place is called Champys. Can I give this place more than 5 stars, pretty please?

    I know people love Champys around here but we love hot chicken and this place does it best…read more No frills, simple restaurant with 10 or so tables. You walk in and you choose your table and a nice waitress will bring your menus. We like the chicken strip basket which comes with two sides. Of our favorites are the fries, the collard greens, green beans, and mac and cheese. The chicken strips are very crispy, the meat is just a little dry but the flavor is great with even the mild level heat having nice heat. We also got the catfish which has a perfect crust and perfectly cooked inside. The baskets come with sauce and you get two per order. Probably more than you'll need. You get great food for an affordable price. Good Southern service. Just all around one of our faves.

    This was a cool neighborhood spot near downtown that we stopped at the first night we were in town…read more Nice Blues/soul music played on the speakers. We were told to seat ourselves and our menus would be brought to us. After a short wait, the bartender/server came to take our drink order and food order. We both ordered the mild heat chicken tender special (3 tenders and fries for $7). We also added a veggie plate so we could try the Mac and cheese and greens. Our food arrived after a few minutes. The tenders were cooked fresh and were piping hot when they arrived. The chicken was dusted with mild heat seasoning. Outside of that seasoning, they weren't seasoned with anything else. We both remarked that we've had better Nashville hot tenders and better tenders in general. The Mac and cheese was just okay but the greens were the star of the meal. They were flavorful, meaty and had just enough kick to keep things interesting. Good meal overall. I recommend that you try them out. We will return to try other menu items.

    On a recent trip to the area, we decided to stop here for lunch after reading the great Yelp…read morereviews. I must admit that the reviews were spot on. Everything about this experience was top-notch! From being seated quickly upon entering, to explaining how the ticket validation thing worked (more info at the end), customer service was some of the best I've been shown. The ambiance is chic but casual-great for both cozy date night or fun family night. Our server was so friendly and patient as we asked questions about the menu. I ordered the grilled salmon with spicy crab remoulade and my guy ordered the smoked wings with a side of fries. I was happy that I was able to select my own sides from the ones on the menu so I opted for the fried Brussels sprouts with maple and bacon and the buttermilk whipped potatoes. After a short wait, our food was brought out. This was truly one of the best salmon dishes I have ever eaten! The salmon was cooked to my liking, the potatoes were soft and fluffy and the fried Brussels sprouts were absolutely divine and perfect. The remoulade was a little salty but it may have been just been my taste. The potatoes helped with that so it was not a deal breaker. My guy was pleased with his food as well and I could tell he enjoyed everything he ate. We agreed that we would take this trip back just to eat this meal again. It was truly a wonderful experience, from beginning to end. I highly recommend trying this gem out! Pro Tip: The restaurant validates parking. If you park in the lot across the street, do not prepay on the app or online. Ask the servers at the front to validate to save the $18 parking fee before you order and within 15 minutes after entering. Unfortunately, we didn't do this and the restaurant cannot reimburse the money after you've already paid. You've been warned!

It's always nice when visiting from out of town when you can get a variety of local beers all in one place. The server was also so nice and talked with us about the area, which was thoughtful. The inside was huge! But we sat outside under their covered porch. They have TVs, but there weren't any fans. If it's hot, I'd opt for inside! Will def return again especially on their special nights during the week!
