Bluegrass Grill - Four honey wheat pancakes with an egg and two sausage patties. Actually too much found. - Southern Near Me - Chattanooga, Tennessee

All of the food is amazing! The staff is great and works as a team to ensure that you have a great experience. Even if all of the tables are full, they have a pretty good flow to get you in in a reasonable time. I've enjoyed all of my experiences here! read more

I looked up places to eat before we hit the aquarium and decided on this one, and damn I'm glad we went! The host greeted us quickly and was very nice and our waitress was so sweet too. Hell, everyone here was amazing. There was another guy who was so sweet to even our kids. And the food!! They even have a bacon sampler plate with different flavors, one being coffee. They even gave our little 1 year old a little basket of toys to play with! He fell in love with the slinky. Thank you to everyone here for phenomenal service and such delicious food!! read more

We are a breakfast family (7) and when we travel we always look for a good breakfast place. Today we chose Bluegrass Grill. I had the corned beef hash and I must say that it was delicious. My husband had the Salmon Eggs Benedict and he also said it was very good. Overall my entire group enjoyed their breakfast choice. Service was aaahhhh, our server was a bit off but i figured she had something happen, so as long as she wasnt rude it was okay. I am sure she has had better days. read more

Wow! This place was amazing! I went in at 9:30 on a Friday morning & was surprised by how busy they were. Luckily I was by myself & was immediately seated at the 3 seater bar. I ordered decaf coffee & they made a fresh pot for me & refilled it every time my cup got half empty. The Mediterranean frittata was incredible! I got the biscuit & gravy for my side. I was a little put off by the half whole wheat/half white flour biscuit (we are in the South) but it was great too. Took a while for food to come, but they were busy & delicious looking food was flowing out the whole time I was there. Parking a little sparse, but you definitely want to eat here. Not too expensive either. read more

Phenomenal place. Absolutely amazing incredible breakfast spot. I was here November 2019 while traveling through. A fellow yelper that lives in town turned me onto this place. It was a stellar reccomendation. The staff was quirky and cool at the same time. Talked to a few of them. They were very accommodating. The food was absolutely incredible. This is a MUST stop spot if you're in the area. Lorena from Chattanooga turned me onto this fabulous place. Thanks so much for the reccomendation Lorena. Appreciate you. Home made strawberry preserves. Amazing. Bread was great. Bacon pepper jalapeño was awesome. read more

I stopped here on my way to Nashville from Florida and I have to say that was a great experience. I loved the casual service and the attention. You can't miss the blueberry muffins, the server suggested to grill them and she was right. No other words but delicious. The portobello Benedict were a little bit over cooked but on the flavor side were great. read more

During our stay in Chattanooga, we enjoyed a glorious, local breakfast at the Bluegrass Grill. The Bluegrass became our mainstay during the two mornings we spent in the city for breakfast delights. Located in the downtown area of Chattanooga, only a five-minute walk from our Airbnb on East Main Street in the Southside Historic District, Bluegrass produces wonderful biscuits that terrific for breakfast sandwiches. So much so, that I ordered their bacon, egg, and cheese biscuit sandwich on both mornings we came for breakfast. It truly magical and good, good and magical, with bacon cooked to perfection that balanced well with the egg scramble and cheese. Additionally, I had on the first morning some of their cheesy grits with bacon, which were magical and delicious, as well as filling to the bone. My lady loved the place because they produce a lot of gluten-free options because she's celiac, and was able to enjoy a nice full breakfast with me -- especially with the cheesy grits. Everyone who served us at the restaurant was very friendly and accommodating, which made our experience great. With social distancing measures in place due to COVID-19, we felt very safe enjoying meals there as the tables were spaced out appropriately. The first day we had breakfast outside in a make-shift patio area in the parking lot next to The Bluegrass, which was quite nice with the weather (that held off raining on us as that was the forecast at the time). The brick-walled interior was quite spacious when we took a table at one of the front corners of the restaurant with a nice street-side window to look outside as we enjoyed day two of breakfast. The Bluegrass will be a spot to which we return for breakfast on our next stay in Chattanooga. read more

The pancakes are awesome! I really didnt the love my keto biscuit but the cajun hash was super good! My husband also liked his black bean burrito. read more

The food was mediocre--the Hollandaise sauce was nearly split, half of the fruits that they charge extra for went bad . The floor isn't leveled, so the table we got was noticeably sloped and uncomfortable. Also, not a fan of getting eye rolls from staff. Overall, a disappointing experience. read more

This is an institution in Chattanooga and for good reason! Bluegrass has always been one of my favorite breakfast spots in the city but I had not been in a while. I randomly decided to go yesterday morning and I'm so glad I did. I would highly recommend going on a weekday morning as on the weekends it gets extremely crowded and tends to have long waits. There was even a little bit of a wait on Tuesday morning but it didn't take long! When we sat down our waitress immediately asked us what we wanted to drink and was very efficient. We got the mushroom and cheese omelet with potatoes and a biscuit and an open faced omelet as well. Both were absolutely delicious, I recommend everyone try a biscuit while they're here, they are so good! All in all, if you're visiting Chattanooga I would say Bluegrass should be at the top of your list for the amazing food and friendly service! read more

Great service, everyone there is friendly. Food is delicious and the atmosphere is cozy. Lots of parking available nearby. My favorite was eating our meal and asking about the seasonings and sauces and them telling us we can purchase them before we left. We bought the potato seasoning and a smoky hot sauce - use it all the time! Highly recommend! They do get busy so plan ahead for a potential wait if you want to go during peak hours. The burrito is my favorite. read more

He Said: the was our second visit, though it seems we didn't leave a review last time. Odd, that. This is a great diner with an amazing staff and a cool vibe. Their breads are excellent, they cook eggs as requested, and the coffee is fantastic. There is usually a wait, but for good reason: they're making great food a short walk from downtown. I had the corned beef hash, again, and really like it. I'd prefer a smaller potato, but that's my only knock. The beef is generously portioned and they don't add a bunch of superfluous stuff. The 5 grain bread toast is so good and works nicely to sop up the runny egg. We'll be back! She Said: I had the P2 which is home fries with cheese, sour cream, and house-made salsa; I chose the bacon option (because bacon!) and added an egg over medium. I had the five grain toast as my side. What a delicious meal! The salsa was absolutely terrific and managed to stand out despite everything going on with my dish. My egg was cooked perfectly, and the bread used for the toast was really tasty. The potatoes were just okay, but they were just a delivery vehicle for everything else, so that didn't bother me. My only disappointment was my tea. The pot in which it was served didn't retain heat well, so my second and third cups were lukewarm rather than hot. That said, I appreciated that the black tea option was a nice English Breakfast tea. We sat at the bar and watched other dishes as they came out, and I want to go back and try the biscuits and gravy which looked pretty spectacular. And if you're into sweet breakfast options, those all looked awesome, too. Delicious food plus friendly and attentive staff means we'll be back when next we're in Chattanooga. Potty Points: No trip to the potty for me today! read more

Awesome food and great service!! I totally recommend it!!! Nice ambiance. My wife and I had a late breakfast and we enjoyed it very much!

Joke.Drove 30 minutes to try this place. Waited 30 minutes for a table, get seated, and, guess what? No frigging biscuits or crepes!! Advertised as "the best biscuits in Tennessee" I wouldnt come back.... read more

Saturday morning outing! Crowded! A nice little place, homemade goodness! I had the house made corned beef hash, and it was good, seasoned well, would have liked it crispy, but no complaints at all. The home fries are real good, and the biscuits as a side was food, I think it was whole wheat flour which amped it up! My daughter had the daily burrito special, and really enjoyed it too. read more

Mom & Pop local business with home-made food! Staff is friendly and welcoming. The home fries are cooked in cast iron with EVOO. You won't find that in another restaurant, period. Breakfast staple in Chattanooga with lunch options as well. Get there early to beat the crowd on Saturdays. Thanks Jean Marie & Nina for being epic all these years! read more

Our breakfast from here was just ok. The pancakes were not worth the drive to Chattanooga - we stopped here based on reviews. The eggs Benedict was just ok too. I was irritated by the fact that we rerouted our drive back to Chicago to stop here. read more

I stopped at the Bluegrass Grill for some breakfast while on a quick trip in Chattanooga. The food was delicious but my experience wasn't the best just because my group was sat at a very strange table. The restaurant was busy so we were sat at a table way in the back corner of the restaurant. It located between the bathrooms and the back door, which employees were using to get in and out of the building, was the only table in the little room, and was shoved right up against the emergency box that contained the fire extinguisher. The table arrangement was definitely a little strange and I would have gladly waited a little longer for a table in the main part of the restaurant, rather than being secluded in the back, but thankfully the service was still great and we weren't forgotten about. I ordered the Blintzes but also got to try the Corned Beef Hash and the Black Bean Breakfast Burrito. The corned beef hash was delicious and made with real corned beef (not the mushy stuff you get from cans) and the Blintzes were a great, sweet breakfast option! The winner of this meal for me though were the potatoes! They were crispy and beautifully seasoned. I could have eaten a whole plate of them! Would definitely recommend stopping by here, but try to get a table in the front. read more

We tried Bluegrass Grill today. I got the Salmon Cake Benedict(on a biscuit, not English muffin) with a side of Home Fries. It was fantastic(minus the biscuit...see below)! We also got a side of one biscuit and gravy...it was bland. The gravy tasted like it was made from a packet, and the biscuit was small, hard, and flavorless, which was disappointing especially since it was $5! The service was awesome and we will give it another shot just in case. It's small so get there early or else you most likely will have to wait. Overall, it was good. read more

I came here today on my own for a quick breakfast. When I walked in, it seemed very cozy and welcoming. A small restaurant, but they totally maximized the space with an abundance of tables. I had a seat in the corner as it was seat yourself and that was the only one open. I ordered the ham and cheese omelette. It was tasty and very filling. I also got the cheese grits and biscuit. Delicious. Will definitely come back! read more

If you're thinking about it - do it! This place was beyond expectations! Wonderful service, good social distancing, and a mom & pop/family owned business. What's better the supporting local? One thing I loved is their cute coffee cups, mine was a Halloween cup.. it's the little things for me. I got the black bean burrito which was stuffed to the max with eggs, cheddar, mozzarella, & black bean chili wrapped in a tortilla, topped with salsa & sour cream. The house potatoes are to die for! Seasoned to perfection and crispy but soft. Our waitress recommended the eggs Benedict for my fiancé, which blew him out of the water. We got a cinnamon roll to go and by far one of the BEST sweets I have ever had. I am not someone who has a sweet tooth but I would eat that 10x over. You HAVE to get it! 10000% recommended!! read more

Service was friendly, food was FANTASTIC, and it has a friendly , warm and comfortable atmosphere.

Best meal on a ten day road trip, no lie. Our server was of exceptionally good cheer, which made the food even better. The biscuit is advertised as best you'll ever taste, and it is a good one, made in-house using a blend of white and wheat flour. I ordered a concoction involving tender red potatoes, corned beef and cheese and topped with an egg (I chose poached hard and it was exquisite if you can forgive me for not enjoying a runny egg). This was our first breakfast made by someone other than our household in 15 months and I am so glad we broke the breakfast fast here. read more

As my friends and I were searching for other great breakfast restaurants in the downtown area, we found ourselves curiously wondering into Bluegrass Grill. Upon arrival, we knew this place was good because the place was busy upon arrival. The staffs were extremely friendly and welcoming. The menu is typical for breakfast/brunch, but with a twist on everything. I ordered a variety of things including Buttermilk pancakes with seasonal fruits, Green Egg minus the Ham and a cup of freshly squeezed Orange Juice. By far, when it comes to having breakfast or brunch, Bluegrass Grill has become one of my best quality breakfast/brunch places to eat. I personally do not drink coffee but those I was with claimed the coffee served "tasted out of this world!" Bluegrass Grill definitely gets my recommendations. They are open and they do have both indoors and outdoors dine-in. If you're looking for a place to eat, you won't be disappointed if you find yourself wondering into Bluegrass Grill. read more

Stopped by Bluegrass Grill for brunch after seeing all these Yelp reviews, and I definitely agree with the reviews. Everything on the menu sounded amazing that it was hard to chose what to order. Customer service was amazing and prompt. Everyone in my group decided to order something completely different so we could just try a little bit of everything. I got the portabello benedict which tasted amazing. It was a light breakfast with perfectly seasoned veggies underneath 2 poached eggs. The only thing I noticed was that it was extra creamy, and I don't always enjoy that much sauce on my food. I ordered the grits and thought it was just mediocre. The others in my group loved their dishes as well- corn beef hash, potato dish, and omelette. The potatoes are so good and well cooked. Portion sizes are plentiful. The only complaints we had were that each dish was overly cheesey. Overall, every dish was amazing, and we were happy with our food. Just a few things that could've been tweaked on each dish (cheese & sauce), but still tasted amazing. I would definitely come back when I'm in the area. read more

Bluegrass Grill - Potato plate with poached eggs and biscuit - Southern Near Me - Chattanooga, Tennessee

My absolute favorite breakfast, brunch, lunch spot. I live in Wisconsin. But EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. I'm in the area, I stop here. My family and I have eaten here i many occasions and I cannot say enough positive things about it. Everything from the many vegetarian and vegan options on the menu to the amazing granola and really great cup of coffee is worth the drive alone. There are so many options for everyone whether you eat meat or not. My sons especially loved the little toy basket to play with when they were younger and now love to get a huge mug of hot cocoa. They even hunted down the Tigger mug for my son's drink! The place feels comfortable and homey, staff makes you feel so welcomed and I wouldn't be surprised if they somehow remembered us at each visit! I cannot wait to go back! I tell all our friends and family, if they are headed through the area (Disney or Nashville, ATL) they HAVE TO stop! :) read more
