    Came here as we were driving through and originally were trying to go to Apricot Place but they were closed on a Saturday afternoon, so we did a search for another good rated restaurant nearby and found Blue Hole BBQ. Something was oddly familiar about this place as it used to be a different BBQ place I visited over 10 years ago when we came to the area with friends during a white water rafting adventure. The meal was just ok back then but we were hoping with new ownership they had improved. In any case, the food here was decent, not great, but good. I got the ribs and my sons and wife got the brisket. The ribs were good, but my son said the brisket was just ok and didn't finish his meal. The sides were good and the lemonade was great! A highlight here is their home made BBQ sauces. They have sweet, mustard, and hot. All 3 were excellent and made the ribs I had very delicious. It was a good lunch and this place does the job if you're looking for a good meal. Service was friendly and the atmosphere is clean and cozy. 4 stars it is! Merry Christmas!

    Service is good ribs were kinda bland and dry but not bad considering the area doesn't have much for restaurants.

The restaurant is located behind the namesake lodge and has ample parking. They had a nice fireplace going on outside due to chilly weather. Inside was a super cozy southern vibe kind of a place. There were a lot of music memorabilia on the walls. The live music was really good. Randy Finchum kicked off the music and played original and sometimes hilarious songs. He made sure to crack a lot of jokes and stories between the songs. For food we tried fried pickles, fried okra, fried brussels sprouts, and sausage with onions and peppers. Yep...no sight of greens but man was everything delicious. Also, they have cheap beers available but only in bottles. If you're in the mood for some good southern food with a cozy funky vibe then checkout Smoke House.

The breading ratio was awesome, thin enough to not overwhelm and make it too thick and dense. Came out steaming hot so clearly made fresh. Decor inside was adorable. Had a stage for live music in the evenings. Really kind staff. I'd made it a point to stop again if I ever find myself in that neighborhood again.

    We had a mixed experience at the Trading Post Smokehouse. It seemed like they needed more help as…read morewe waited about 10 minutes at the ordering window for the main person, a man, to acknowledge our presence and take our order. Others have mentioned the unfriendliness and poor service and this was also our experience overall. We opted for the family pack, which I thought allowed for some customization, but discovered that the $35 choice with two sides had to be the pulled pork. You do get a ton of pulled pork and generous portions of BBQ sauce with it, so it was kind of nice to have leftovers. On the other hand, the meat itself was just ok and we wished we had opted for the ribs or something else (and just not done the family pack which, outside of the quantity element, did not really seem worth it based on the prices of other meats). The baked beans were very sweet as it seemed like they added way too much sugar to them; same for the BBQ sauce. Highlight was probably the creamy mashed potatoes which tasted very good. The man acted surprised when I asked for silverware because we had ordered to-go and it must be outside the ordinary for a restaurant doing to-go to offer this? He also wasn't very friendly in telling us that none of our food (family pack) included drinks. Seating is available but somewhat limited (especially on the inside). Overall this wasn't great and I probably would not come back to this establishment without some changes or improvements.

The rib plate had at least 5 ribs with smaller cuttings of the cartilage ends tucked under the ribs! You know it's done right when you can chew the cartilage and the meat "nearly" falls off the bone. If the meat really does fall off, it's overcooked. Not here. Cooked to perfection. Next time I'll try the beef plate.

We had the pulled pork sandwich with coleslaw and it was one of the best, we've ever had, very hefty and messy, the barbecue sauce was amazing. The potato salad was also amazing and a nice portion. We've never had Fried Okra before and was a little reluctant, but to my surprise it was delicious. This was the first restaurant we tried in Chattanooga and if the others are as good, we will look forward to returning to Chattanooga. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful! As you can tell from my review, we totally enjoyed Chatt Smoke House and I highly recommend it to everyone and hope others review it, so it can move up on the list.

We stopped for water (Aquafina) and I thanked the heavens above that it wasn't Dasani because, had it been, I would've died on that hill, literally! We stayed for the fans, the shade and eventually the food. The pulled pork on the cold, stiff bun was room temp with pockets of hot meat here and there. I used the spicy sauce and discarded the bun. It was okay. The green beans were lifeless and flavorless. I ate them because...nutrients?! P.S. The cashier was soliciting tips from the customers. I overheard another customer complaining about it and then I confirmed it with my husband, who had stood in line to pay. Apparently, it's a situation where you can tip on your card and that doesn't need to be pointed out, but the cashier was applying the pressure by asking folks outright if they would like to leave a tip. It was just slightly uncomfortable, and effective. Both my husband and the other customer who was complaining left a tip. You walk thru a deli-style line with a cafeteria tray, carrying your own food to the table, so.. there's that. P.S. The vistas are beautiful. Excellent backdrop for family or individual photos.

This is a place where you go up to the counter and place your order. Take your food and go to another place to pay for it and then go sit down. It was a little confusing, but we figured it out. They had a special with ham, green beans, small potatoes and sweet potato mash. Everything was amazing except for the ham which was overcooked but rest made up for that! One of the people working there was kind enough to look at the ingredients and find out if any of my allergies were on it to make sure I could eat safely. Even though there was a language barrier, it was still very kind. Price point was fine. My meal with water to drink was just under $20.
