    Huevos Rancheros
    Eugene R.

    Nice breakfast spot with plenty of choices from simple eggs and biscuits to wonderful huevos rancheros . Eggs were cooked perfectly. Pleasant waitstaff.

    Great coffee and they had heavy cream and honey on request
    Sandra G.

    Fantastic restaurant with Great ambiance, service and delicious farm fresh food. Went on a Monday morning, wasn't too crowded. Delicious Coffee and they had honey and heavy cream.... I ordered the Low Country Skillet and it was large enough for two, came with biscuit and homemade blueberry jam! Perfection!! Hubby ordered the Creole Omelet and it was fab! Lots of shrimp and a light creole sauce.... highly recommend this spot and we'll be back

    Great atmosphere quick service everything we've had here came out in a timely manner and was perfect every time well cooked

    Amazing place!! The food was delicious and very affordable. The Vietnamese cold brew was awesome. Our server was very kind and attentive. The inside is like any other breakfast place but the food was worth it!

    Excellent food and service! Really cute place. I love that you can get breakfast and lunch!

    We got sat right away and the server was friendly. The food was really good and my drink was nice. It was spacious inside and had a small outdoor seating area.

    This place was fun, funky and offered really good food! Our server was so good, and handled our large party very well! She was so interactive and I loved that she was very sweet to the kids we had with us! Everyone loved their meals! I'm sure I would visit this place again if I'm in the area! Make sure you plan well as they do have limited hours!

    Fried Oyster Scramble "Hangtown Style" Huevos Rancheros Tomato Gravy with side of Spicy Bacon
    Melanie S.

    What a great find! We try to stick to non-chain restaurants and while this is a small chain it was totally worth it. I was hooked when I saw the Hangtown Fry and tomato gravy on the menu & they did not disappoint. It was actually so good that we went back a second time. My husband got the huevos rancheros both times!

    Tanisha L.

    Plenty of parking but lot gets full with other businesses so may not be as close to door. Can join waitlist online prior to arrival to help with wait. Was seating fast during busy Sunday brunch time. Service was great and food came fast and was food. Nice coffee and latte, cappuccino options as well.

    Brûlées grapefruit, spicy bacon, Weisenberger grits, biscuit & soft butter. Fresh squeezed grapefruit with vodka!
    Blayne T.

    Everything is perfect! Breakfast & bar atmosphere! Like a dream! Find one and fall in love!

    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. They validate parking if you park in the garage nearby!

    By far the best food establishment we visited in Chattanooga…read more Would certainly come again when in Tennessee. The service was fantastic, the waiter was kind and quick. The inside was really nice and the kind of place you would go on a date. The pot roast was delicious as was the creme brûlée. My partner also loved the veggie sides!

    It's been 2 yrs since being here. Back in Chattanooga area again, Champy's is a MUST STOP for us…read more They never disappoint. Inside it's ani eclectic array of old license plates, dollar bills on the walls and overall fun to sweep your eyes around the room. The chicken is moist, flavorful and just plain delicious!! Service was quick but we weren't in a hurry. My husband & I ordered the 8 piece family, 1/2 thighs, 1/2 legs, with fries & coleslaw. My husband had the chicken, sausage gumbo.... He rates it right on top of the best he's has tasted. I would say.... defined and good place to stop, with family, friends or whatever reason you can think up. Just stop and enjoy yourself with good food.

    This is painful to write. At least once per year we stop at Champy's MLK outlet as we drive between…read moreTexas and Washington, DC on business. For nearly ten years. A must-stop. Highlight of the drive. For the first time, today was different. The very friendly young women who first greeted us and guided us through the menu years ago are gone. In their place are unfriendly young ladies who would far prefer to chat with each other than provide even acceptable-level service. We were tolerated, not welcomed or even checked on to see if we wanted anything. I waited and waited for her to notice me at about ten feet away as I waved my empty beer can in hopes of getting a second one. Finally I had to interrupt the conversation between the waitresses by raising my voice above their conversation, "excuse me, may I have another?" Again, we were there early today. Just before 5:00 PM. That is how timing works when you are on the road. So the place was nearly empty. They weren't busy with customers. They were busy chatting amongst themselves. As we completed our fried chicken (still very good), she came by and did not ask if we wanted anything else but simply said "ready for the check?" It was a way to make us feel like we needed to leave. To add insult to injury, we passed by the hostess table outside on our way to the car as we left and we happened to pass between two Champy's young female employees chatting at the hostess station and blocking the way out. We had to say "excuse me" and walk between then as they kept talking to each other. Never did they bother to say "thanks for coming, please come back soon." So maybe after all this time...we won't.

    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.

    3.75/5 -- The Flaming Rooster | Chattanooga, TN…read more I stopped by The Flaming Rooster while in Chattanooga, and overall, I'd give the experience a 3.75 out of 5. There were definitely some highlights especially the catfish and the service. The ambience has a real throwback feel. It isn't fancy or modern, but that's part of its character. It reminded me of an old-school neighborhood Southern restaurant, and I actually appreciated the nostalgia. Between the decor, the food, and a cup of Kool-Aid, there were moments that genuinely took me back. The service was one of the strongest parts of the experience. Janet was a 10/10--friendly, attentive, and provided excellent service throughout our visit. The kitchen staff was also very efficient, and our food came out hot and fresh. Missy, who rang us up, was hilarious and brought even more personality to the experience. The staff definitely made us feel welcome. Now, the food: Fried Catfish -- 10/10. Hands down the star of the meal. The catfish was fried perfectly, crispy on the outside, tender inside, and seasoned extremely well. This is what I would come back for. If you're visiting for the first time, I recommend starting with the catfish. Fried Chicken -- 7/10. Good, straightforward fried chicken. It was crispy and enjoyable, but nothing that completely separated it from other good fried chicken I've had. Still, I would order it again. Macaroni & Cheese -- 5/10. Not bad, just average for me. It worked as a side, but it didn't stand out compared with the catfish. The potato salad reminded me of Sam's Club potato salad, which actually isn't a bad thing because I like Sam's Club potato salad. It had that familiar, simple flavor. And the Kool-Aid mix deserves a mention. That took me straight back to childhood. Something about Kool-Aid alongside fried catfish and chicken just fit the throwback atmosphere perfectly. Overall, 3.75/5. The sides could be stronger, but the catfish was excellent, the service was outstanding, and the nostalgic atmosphere gave the restaurant its own personality. Janet and Missy helped make the visit memorable as well. If I find myself back in Chattanooga, I'd definitely stop by again. I also recommend giving The Flaming Rooster a try if you're in the area. And seriously-get the catfish. 10/10.

    Delicious fresh food. Not what you would expect from the looks of the establishment... not in a bad…read moreway at all. It just looks more like a bar rather than a place that would serve high quality fresh meals. Everything was clean and the service was great. We got a high top in the bar area and they had a high chair that was tall enough for our son to reach the table. It was great! We ordered the caesar salad to start.... made perfectly. Then we got our entrees. Pictured below.... Both exceeded our expectations! We got our son the kids buttered noodles and he ate a lot of my chicken that I ordered. Great dinner and we ALL highly recommend!

    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!
