    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.

    Whole wheat Pancakes

    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!

    Black bean breakfast burrito with chorizo on the side
    Hannah Marie S.

    The service was incredible. Our server, Nina, was so helpful and so kind. It was loud but not so loud you couldn't talk. The food was so yummy - truly one of the best breakfasts I've ever had. The toasted coconut coffee was recommended by our server in training and man he was right on. It was so good, and giant (pictured with butter and creamer for size comparison). I subbed the sides of the black bean burrito for chorizo and a slice of the Japanese milk bread French toast. I cannot overstate how good it was. My husband got the JM omelette and he said it was also delicious. Our bill with my substitutions was only $45. 10/10 recommend!!

    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
    Michelle N.

    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!

    Milk & Honey is known as the best of the best for brunch in Chattanooga, and after eating here I…read morestand by that statement. I remember back in the day when Milk & Honey had late hours. One time my parents and I came here after dinner for their gelato, and it was so delicious. We were all very impressed with the consistency and how smooth it was. So I've only had their gelato after all these years. This time I came for brunch with a friend on Sunday morning. It was packed and we got on the waiting list for a table. Wait time wasn't too bad actually. My friend and I both ordered the Hodgepodge Hash and I subbed the sausage for chicken sausage. Everything was absolutely amazing. I wish I had come here sooner. I loved everything about my meal. It was flavorful, dynamic, full of texture. It had that spice from the serrano peppers, crispy and flavorful potatoes, and the sauce tied it all together. I love savory breakfast, and that was it. Now I'm hungry and missing my previous meal just writing about it haha. Afterwards, we got gelato! I was pleasantly surprised that the gelato came with two scoops because I originally just wanted the coffee flavored one. So I had a scoop of Coffee + Cream and Pistachio. Our gelato was so tasty. I love anything coffee so this one was good, and the Pistachio one was nice and light. It had a subtle Pistachio creamy taste. Just as before, the gelato was smooth, creamy, and full of flavor. Service was great, our waiter was very friendly and super helpful with our food preferences. I have no complaints at all about our experience, and I love every single thing we ordered. I can't imagine a better place to spend Sunday brunch. I look forward to the next time I'm back, thank you!

    Please take this review with a grain of salt. Today was probably not an exemplary day for Milk &…read moreHoney. Mother's Days are challenging, but I think where they hurt themselves the most is that they do not have a method to take reservations or even call ahead seating. Wait times were often in excess of an hour listening to other people waiting to be seated. That's a horrible experience on its face, and the management of this restaurant needs to do much much better or just close on Mother's Day. Next, we'll get to the food. I doubt it was a shining example of what they are capable of. I got the Shakshuka and it was mediocre. I'm not expecting it to be as good as what I would get in Tel Aviv, and I've had the real thing in Tel Aviv. But to be honest, the eggs came out nearly hard-boiled not poached. And the eggs are one of the stars of the show for this dish. If you don't get them right, the entire dish fails. Next will touch on the chicken and waffles. The observation from my tablemate was that it was dry and he didn't even eat it all. The same thing can be said for my other tablemate who had the chicken biscuit. The biscuit was exemplary, but the chicken was dry and actually overcooked. Then there were the omelettes, I don't believe they were impressive in any way and the people that ordered them agree. For those of us at the table that ordered coffee, it was rather strong. I normally like strong coffee, but this was borderline Turkish coffee, and there wasn't enough cream available to mask the potency. The service was also stretched thin. Our server, Destiny, did her best, but she was waiting too many tables. Having once been a waitermyself I have a special affinity for Service staff who are asked to do too much. We left her a good tip, but I'm sure she is capable of much better service than what she was allowed to deliver. Finally, the overwhelming crowd made the restaurant feel claustrophobic. The noise level was far too high, and we could barely hear one another at our table and we were sitting very close to one another. I don't place the blame on the kitchen, staff, or the wait staff, or even the greeters. This was a fail of management, plain and simple. They made no contingency plans for that many people and should have anticipated a larger crowd on Mother's Day. Management -I challenge you to do better!!! We will come back during a normal Service day to see if you can perform better, but I encourage you, as owners and managers, to stop setting your staff up for failure, which is what you did!

I was a little nervous about the basil, but I can genuinely say it was my favorite drink of my entire trip. Lastly I want to say a special thank you to the staff. We thought we weren't going to be able to find a table, but when we found one at the last second, they actually offered to switch my meal to a skillet since they can't do those to go.

I wasn't too sure where to stand when I entered off the patio side on this lovely early afternoon, but when I figured out where the hosting station was, I was welcomed and seated in a spot I would have chosen for myself. Sometimes people sit single dudes in odd spots because maybe they don't think we care about kitchen doors and dark corners, but I had a really nice table where I could soak up the retro revamped vibe. I doubled the eggs order to four and chose the bacon and added a side of stewed black beans (so glad I did). First, I started with a glass of Beaujolais, which was quite nice. When the food arrived, the first thing that struck me was that I got cold butter in its own nice tin. I can't tell you how uncommon this is, even in finer dining. Usually, you get olive oil instead of butter, and if you ask for butter, it's in one of those wrappers. This was the real thing, not whipped, and I didn't have to ask specially for it. The eggs were delicate and seasoned beautifully, and the bacon was hearty and high-end and crispy. The grits are unbelievable, and the stewed beans are homemade and subtle, smooth as butter. I was amazed; the sides were really at the forefront. The kitchen isn't fast, so don't be in a hurry when you're here. Even the glass of wine took a few, and it was not busy. But it's also a nice place to relax and soak up the ambience, either indoors or out. And I appreciated that the food was so well made that I didn't mind the wait. Hats off to Stafford, who was my server. She checked up on me frequently. She was efficient and personable. They are lucky to have her! I had a beautifully crafted cortado espresso at the end, served traditionally with the fizzy water on the side. This is my favorite espresso as it is a strong pour but has just a bit of hot milk at the top to cut the acidity. It was excellent. Frankly, I was impressed they even knew what it was, so if you're just getting coffee, they'll also be the right place. I obviously recommend this place for its food, ambience, service.

The beet juice was delicious and a generous portion. The desserts were just okay, but I appreciated that they weren't overly sweet and didn't have any weird ingredients. Honestly, it's just so nice knowing your food has no weird ingredients and everything is organic! The only downside was the coffee. Honestly, it was probably one of the worst I've ever had.

You order at the register, they bring you your food, and then you bus your own "tray."
