    Portobello mushroom eggs benedict + loaded grits bowl
    Claire M.

    Good food, friendly service, and chill environment! I really enjoyed the eggs benedict & the blueberry muffin here and my husband enjoyed the grits bowl. Service was friendly and the interior was charming & cozy.

    Now I know why they close at 2pm... because there is always a line and people absolutely love the food and are willing to wait for deliciousness! They make everything fresh and in house and everything is served hot and with a smile. The servers are attentive and excellent in their suggestions. The biscuit sandwich was packed with thick and perfectly cooked bacon. The pancakes are the most fluffy and soft pancakes I've ever had. If you are in the downtown Chattanooga area... this is totally worth the trip!

    After a long drive from Florida, we were starving and looking for a quick spot to fuel up before heading over to visit Ruby Falls. Bluegrass Grill offered a decent breakfast selection, and the service was friendly and quick, which was just what we needed. As a breakfast lover, though, I have to say the meal was good but not anything to rave about. It hit the hunger spot, for sure, but it didn't quite elevate itself above the standard diner fare. Everything was cooked well, but the flavors didn't stand out as much as I'd hoped. It was solid and satisfying--just nothing exceptional. All in all, Bluegrass Grill is a reliable stop for a basic breakfast if you're in the area, but it doesn't quite have that "wow" factor I was hoping for. Still, a good spot to recharge before exploring the sights!

    From food to service, this was one of the best breakfasts I've had in quite some time. We had th blitz all the way, a black bean burrito with chorizo, and a Greek omlette. Every. Single. Thing. Was amazing!!!!! The Blitz was so light and a great first bite to start our day. The burrito and omelette were so punchy and flavorful. Everything was so well rounded. Get your behinds down to Bluegrass and enjoy!!!!!

    Build your own omelet with avocado and keto cheese biscuit.

    Excellent service!! The staff went out of their way to accommodate. The food was very good. Highly recommend this cute hole in the wall restaurant.

    Bacon, egg, and cheese biscuit and cheese grits

    I had Saturday brunch at Bluegrass Grill last weekend and really enjoyed it. We waited maybe 20 minutes as it was quite busy even before 10am. It's a smaller place but they have outdoor seating and it has a friendly vibe. They have a huge menu of delicious-sounding breakfast options so something for everyone; our server was great and gave us several recommendations. I went with a biscuit with bacon, egg and cheese and it was very good; the biscuits are an unusual mix of white and wheat so they are more dense than the traditional southern biscuit. The cheese grits were good though not overly creamy. The coffee was standard diner fare which is how I roll, so very much enjoyed it. There are several breakfast/brunch options in the area but you won't regret giving Bluegrass a try.

    tofu hash with fruit
    Aubrey J.

    i loved the atmosphere of this cozy and welcoming restaurant! the wait was kind of terrible, i'd estimate it was about 30+ minutes on a friday at 11 am. i didn't mind because i was hungry, but the line was going out the door! we finally got a place at a table with a couple who didn't mind us joining the table, and from there the food came out quickly and the service was great. i came to this place specifically because i heard they had a vegan option, that being the tofu hash. i liked that they had an option that i could eat and the hash was well-seasoned and packed with many vegetables. while i was only in town for the tourist-y things in the chattanooga area, i had a great time at the restaurant and would stop by again if i was around. definitely recommend!

    Eggs Benedict on a homemade biscuit with home fries
    Richard L.

    I went on a Friday morning and it was almost full. Solo so you can sit at the counter if seats available, or they share tables with other parties. I would guess on the weekends there is a wait. For a small place they have a large menu. They make certain entrees their own - for example Eggs Benedict is served on a homemade biscuit rather than an English muffin. I chose that with home fries and it was delicious. Staff are friendly and efficient. Highly recommend.

    Bangin biscuit and gravy

    We came for Sunday brunch and were very impressed! I have been wanting to make it out and I am so happy we did! The food was so delicious! The service was also a 10/10! The restaurant was very clean, we will definitely be back!

    You come in from outside and get right to the wait stand. They came up from the bar top to greet me and said I could sit anywhere. I ended up sitting at the bar top because all of the other seats were full. There are not more than maybe 15 or so areas to sit so it isn't super big. Brisket burnt end sausage was solid. They brought one sausage and it was butterfly down the middle, the taste was super flavorful and had just to write them on a saltiness to get you going as you dig into it. Buttermilk Pancakes from here we're really good and pretty big. It was only two of them but it felt like it was five! Denver omelette what's good. I have no complaints about it. It was cooked very well, and did not fall apart when I tried to get into it lol. Fancy bacon flight: Mixed berry was good, the tart and sweet combo to a science. 1st Thai plum was okay, it has more savory than it needed and was a little overpowered with salty and savory... More than usual bacon. 4th Orange was more salty but the aftertaste was 101% orange. It was pretty sticky so you will have to wipe your hands lol was decent though. Third Ranch was ranch lol it's what you would expect. You have had bacon on a salad so this was akin to that. 2nd I would definitely 100% suggest this place as someplace you stop off if you're needing breakfast or lunch. If you sit at the bar you will get a lot of conversation and they will talk to you and you have a good time as you wait for your food. The menu is pretty vast so you might have to go a couple of times to get a good grass of it but it was a really good experience.

    Brown butter French Toast

    1. First timers, go in first and find the book to put your name on the list. 2. Come hungry. This area of Chatty has some amazing restaurants. We were advised to try this place from a waitress at Main Street Meats the night before - MSMs is not open for breakfast but EPIC and right down the street. Anyway - there was a wait on a Saturday at peak brunch time, but it moved quickly. Great advice from the waitress here that resulted in a "bacon flight" starter plate of Cajun candied bacon, blueberry and lemon bacon, nacho bacon, garlic parm bacon. All great. The garlic parm belongs on some pizza because it was so wonderful but our fav was the Cajun. Spices but not hot - was like candy! The Hubby order his brunch fav - French toast and their version is now in his top 5 of all time. I love Benedict, so I got that after the server confirmed it was good and it did NOT disappoint. Perfectly poached eggs and the sauce was yummy. They claim "the best biscuits" but they are different than your Granny makes. Good with the Benedict but def more of a wheat than white flour texture and taste. I enjoyed their take on a southern standard. The sweet tea was perfect and we had a wonderful time!

    Wonderful breakfast

    Perfectly cooked pancakes, tasted awesome. Bacon and/egg on the side. Skillet breakfast was wonderful. Server was very nice and checked in lots of times.!

    Fish croquette

    Let me start by saying that I am not reviewing the Bluegrass Grill as a breakfast/lunch restaurant. I do not wish to impugn their reputation as a long-standing member of the business community. I am reviewing their recent valentines day evening meal. My husband showed me the menu they had posted. I thought it was a little ambitious but we decided to book a table for the 7:45 PM seating. They had two choices, one was at 5:30 PM. I thought that was a little too early. So we planned our drive to arrive at 7:30. However, as we were driving an email popped in to my account from the Bluegrass Grill titled important in all capitals. I was not happy to read that they were apparently running behind around 15 minutes. So having received that email, even though we arrived at the parking lot by 7:30 we stayed in the car and waited to walk up to the door until about 7:50. When we walked up, we saw quite a large number of people already standing outside the door. Inside was still completely full of people sitting at their tables. I was dismayed. 7:45 is already a tiny bit late for me to be eating dinner. 8 o'clock was pushing my limits. The next thing that I discovered was that apparently they had been checking people in as they were walking up and it was clear that they were intending to seat people in that order. If you recall, I mentioned that my original plan was to arrive at 7:30 but the email that I received made us wait so basically the staff at the Bluegrass Grill sent me an email and therefore I walked up later than many other people, and then was penalized for this by being one of the last to be checked in, and therefore one of the last to be seated. This was not fair and needs to be rethought. Next, I continued to stare into the restaurant as people continued not to leave. It became clear that the staff at the Bluegrass Grill was going to wait for every last individual from the 5:30 seating to leave before seating anyone for the 7:45. It was increasingly frustrating to watch as people left very very slowly. You would think that while we waited all this time that the staff would be freshening up the tables. We were seated at 8:30, which is really unforgivable considering the over $100 per person price tag that was attached to this meal. The first thing that I took a picture of was not the decoration on the table or the room. It was the stains that were on my tablecloth from the 5:30 seating. So not only did I have to wait forever to be seated, but my tablecloth was not even refreshed. The pacing of the 7:45 that became an 8:30 seating was fine. The food however, lacked many many things. For a celebratory dinner with an over $100 price tag I expect many things. I expect quality food and I expect beautiful plating. The first course was a salad. It was quite small and it was only mediocre. The second course was a soup. It did not mention that the soup would be cold. So I assume the soup should have been warm. I personally do not like any form of soup that is not hot so I tried one bite and put the spoon down. The next course was a fish croquet that was supposedly Thai inspired. It had no discernible Thai flavor that I could detect, but at least it was warm. Then we had a pallet cleanser that appeared to be frozen pieces of watermelon. The entrée and let me stress the word entrée here was a sous vide tenderloin fillet. Typically for a fancy dinner with an over $100 price tag that is a course meal one would receive a minimum of 4 ounces. If this was 4 ounces I will apologize, but I seriously doubt it. It was quite small. The next course was a cheese trio that I am still trying to figure out what the third cheese was. I am a cheese lover, and I hated everything on this plate. Not only was it severely unattractive, but the taste failed for me. Then there was a pallet reset which was a citrus coffee. We received this close to 10 PM so I asked if it was caffeinated and of course it was so I gave mine to my husband because I cannot have caffeine after around 5 PM. The last course was the dessert trio. The plate was so ugly. I hate to even include the picture. I tried each item and they were awful. So to sum it up, it was not a good experience from the beginning all the way to the end and I hope that if they plan to do this next year, they think very very hard before doing two seatings and possibly they should not be as ambitious with their menu.
