Walking in , you could see a long bar that you could sit at or just order food at in a designated area and seat yourself around the place. We chose to set up the bar, of course. It kind of ended up being a bad idea because people had no idea about personal boundaries and being in other people's face while they're enjoying their beers and they are standing around ordering food and reaching over you. Ben and I even switch seats, because he is worried about his personal space then I am. Most of the food that was on the menu was barbecue driven but since I had just had poke, I was not hungry. The servers were very friendly when we were ordering and checked in on us often I just wish that they would have kept the line in a more orderly fashion since there was a designated area for ordering specifically.

First an apology, when I get a carry-out order, I never offer pics, it just isn't fair to the…read moreestablishment. So sorry about that folks. So, as I was told by the staff, the restaurant portion has been spun off and sold from the brewery itself, so this is my first visit for food, since that has transpired. It is now known as "BUDS & BREWS CHATTANOOGA", part of a larger group out of Nashville, I was told. The bar/brewery looks the same, there is the same helpful staff, but in all honesty, the food just isn't as good. The pulled pork, was okay at best, the fried onion rings, just too greasy, and the chicken wings, just too dry. When first opened NR was the first microbrewery to prepare and offer their own food, and the bbq was stellar, but I cannot make that same statement today. Brews are still good, but if need a good microbrewery in Chattanooga that can offer you good food to go along with that cold one, my recommendation is either Oddstory or Five Wits. I'll continue to come to NR for a beer, as their Moonpie Stout is absolutely one of the best beers you can find in Chattanooga, but like I said if I am hungry too, this will no longer be one of my primary spots to consider.

I stopped in today to grab lunch and to try Bad Wraps without cheese since the first time I had it…read moreat an event with cheese. First, the customer service was top notch. I was greeted as I was entering and when I explained I needed a cheese-free wrap, the owner offered to add rice and cabbage. Boy when I tell you, that addition kicked the wrap up! It was even better than my first time. This is definitely a place to return to again.

The location I visited was part of the Lodge Cast Iron factory store in South Pittsburg, but they reportedly also have one in the Manufacturers Road area. Cheerful service and an intriguing menu. Includes alcohol. Among the items ordered: eggs, bacon, grits, hash brown cakes, sausage, French toast, coffee. We noticed staff cleaning the tables very carefully and thoroughly every time a customer left. Strongly recommended. Kid-friendly. Also accessible: They have an elevator if you enter from the restaurant side.

By the way their house hot sauce is Muy excellente! The ambiance is kind of industrial meets southern, and it's a bit noisy inside.

We were standing…read moreoutside speaking to a gentleman who was admiring our corgi and one of the owners came outside to greet us and welcome our dog inside as well. Honestly, any business that welcomes our dog, I will almost every time purchase something-it means that much to me! The store holds a variety of items. It is a souvenir shop but this is probably one of the most unique souvenir shops I have ever visited. I like to purchase items when I travel that are locally made and this store had some items like that. Hubs and I took turns browsing the store and speaking with the owners, which made our experience more personable. I wanted to find something like an old souvenir Chattanooga vintage train but they did not have what I was picturing in my mind. Instead, the owners showed us trains they had in the window and offered to sell us the whole set but I could not afford it. Instead, we bargained for me to purchase a couple of pieces of the set. I thought it was very special of them to do that. We purchased some other souvenirs but none of them were sentimental like the train set pieces. I will definitely shop here again when we visit Chattanooga!

Breakfast consisted of eggs, potatoes, sausage/bacon, pastries/bread, cereal, yogurt parfaits, they had a soda and juice machine, Coffee, water. No complaints! Nice, clean, and was a great free breakfast. Cons: There is literally ONE luggage cart for the entire hotel. Definitely will want to unload at the front entrance. Could use some updating, and better cleaning. Our room seemed to be half way done...the sheets were fresh but we had to ask for wash cloths, kitchen towels, etc. Our fridge did not have an ice maker so we did have to ask the front desk to get us some from the kitchen which they were kind enough to do. Overall I would stay here again...

However, when I used it to go to my floor, the door wouldn't open. I tried going to the next floor down and the door opened far enough to get my fingers in to pull the door open. Then I walked up the stairs to my floor. The breakfast was pretty bad. No instructions for the waffle make so people kept making a mess. No juice. Most of the drink choices were out of order. (See pictures.) First day was scrambled eggs and chicken nuggets. They had bacon the next day. On the third day it was just biscuits and some kind of taco thing. Waffle maker was not working that morning.

At first, servers were scarce, but as I got up to go to the bar, the bartender must've seen me and was on his way. He took our initial drink order. At $14 per glass of wine, we just went for the bottle at $54 and a charcuterie board at $27. We are on vacation, so why not. The view is excellent. The weather cooperated. People watching from on high was fun, and the nature scenery was nice. Service was a little slow, but not an imposition, however, if it gets much busier, that could be a thing. We later learned they previously had a $10 cover, but we did not get asked for this and it must be a thing of the past, or I understand it is waived for guests of the Edwin Hotel (the bar's affiliated with the Edwin) but we had dinner reservations at Whitebird, the affiliated restaurant. The charcuterie was good with cheeses, cured meats, jams, crackers, etc. all in all, the star is the Al fresco seating and the River, and of course the company of my beautiful wife! So, go for outdoor seating and bring your own beau!
