The food was really good, this was probably the best corned beef hash I've had. Great with an over easy egg and a side of their homemade biscuits. We got there early in the morning and they didn't have a line yet but there was a bit of a wait, eventually they seated us in a back room by ourselves which was ok because they still checked in and didn't seem to forget about us but we were the only table there and the staff kept coming in and out of the door right behind us so that was kind of weird for us. Either way I would definitely come back for the corned beef hash! read more

Bluegrass Grill - Corned Beef Hash - Southern Near Me - Chattanooga, Tennessee

Came here for breakfast on a Wednesday morning around 8:15. Cute little cafe with a decent amount of indoor seating. We ordered two cups of coffee which came out hot and in a large mug. Cream and sugar was already on the table. They did a great job of coming around often, offering to refill our cups. We ordered the eggs Benedict on a biscuit with homestyle potatoes and the cinnamon roll French toast. The eggs Benedict was not the best which is why I lowered my review. The eggs were over cooked and did not run :-(. The biscuit was a tish dry as well. The homestyle potatoes were the best part and were very good! The cinnamon roll French toast was very tasty, the bread was a little dense but I enjoyed that! We ordered a side of eggs over easy and unfortunately it never came. I have heard really good things about this place on Yelp so I might try again, however this morning was a little disappointing. read more

Overall good was good. went with some friends where I ordered eggs, bacon, and french toast and my hubby got the chorizo/potato/eggs item. Eggs were undercooked for our whole table. Though they make their breads there, I was a bit disappointed how thin the french toast slices were. But our waitress was amazing. Very quick to correct any issues we had and very attentive so happy to have had her. read more

Small hometown feel at this place. Everyone was extremely extremely nice and wonderful. The food was also great. Nothing super fancy it was just solid brunch food. My girlfriend and I ordered way more food than we cooked eat. Two eggs and bacon, biscuits and gravy, pancakes and an omelet. The food was all cooked great. If you're ever in Chattanooga and want brunch this place is a place that won't let you down. read more

Good food, service and friendly staff. Would definitely try if looking for a good breakfast.

Smoked salmon was really salty, had bones and fat clusters. They could select the fish a bit better. Otherwise good. Nice local people here.

Wonderful food made by wonderful people. Joan's breakfast is my favorite. Try the gigantic cinnamon rolls!

Probably our last meal at Blue Grass Grill. My wife and I arrived at 1:30 pm for a late lunch. They close at 2pm Only one other table of 2 was seated. The music was blaring so loud it was uncomfortable so I put in my apple air pods and put it on noise cancelling which only helped a little. The kitchen and dining room staff wrapping up were almost yelling at each other over the volume of the music in a jovial mood joking etc, happy to be near the end of their shift, as if their were no customers still in the restaurant. We endured over the noise as the other table had left soon after we got our food, Finishing our meal as quickly as we could and finished by closing at 2pm. My wife ordered the vegetarian Chile which ended up being warmed up kidney beans from a can. Pretty sure we won't be able to stomach eating there again. read more

Wow! What an experience! This small town feel restaurant is awesome. You MUST try this place! The atmosphere: This place was hoppin'! There was a line when we arrived, but the wait wasn't bad and I enjoyed watching the efficiency of the staff as they served, cleaned and got people in and out without them feeling rushed. The dining room is one open room with the counter and kitchen in sight. There was no hostess to seat you - you just wait for a clean table and have a seat. "Organized chaos"! The staff: Super busy, but happy and super friendly. Obviously there are lots of local regulars that eat here. The staff knew the customers and obviously cared about them. A true family feel. The food: I don't know what to say here except I joined the clean plate club! Everything we tried was delicious - biscuit, oatmeal, pancakes, and cinnamon roll. I need a nap now, my tummy is happy! Overall: TRY THIS PLACE! You will not regret it. I just wish I could transport this gem back home with me. If they ever decide to open a new location in Marietta, GA, I'll be a regular!! read more

My fiance and I have started trying a new local restaurant every weekend. This weekend was Bluegrass Grill. I had read to get there early... The wait is typically long on the weekends. We got there a little before 10am on a Saturday. We walked into a packed waiting area. Pretty small and learned there's no wait list. You just wait your turn... Talk about patience and relying on good manners! We probably waited about 20 minutes for a two top. You can also sit at the bar and grab some coffee while you're waiting. Additionally, if you're willing, you can share tables with others. The option is there. We actually heard 2 pairs agreeing to this as were leaving. After seated, we got probably had the best waitress we've ever had and we eat out a lot for work and travel. She gave some great suggestions, the Joan Marie Special, but you need to add the jalopeño bacon, and you have to try the honey wheat pancakes. She was very attentive to our water and my coffee. We got togo boxes and she offered a togo coffee which I was sold on. We asked about the t-shirts on the wall, "keep calm and let Greg handle it". Come to find out he's the guy cooking all the yummy goodness and also her brother. This family owned restaurant is exactly that and you feel like you're visiting family with the southern hospitality and smiles every where. Amazing food. Amazing service. Worth the wait. We will definitely be coming back!! read more

Ok, the wait on a Friday morning was a bit much...who waits 45 min at 10 AM on a Friday morning while driving through, for breakfast? Well, if given the chance: do it!! What a great omelet! Choice of biscuits or toast! The eggs are fresh!! The potatoes were crunchy and flavorful! And did I mention fresh fruit? Fresh!! Great tea and coffee, I took takeout for the morning after I return home!! It's just that good! Not hungry? Sign in, wait 45 min and you will be glad you did!! read more

Super friendly staff. I forgot my glasses and she brought me a few readers to choose from. Food was very good and she even offered me a coffee to go. I would definitely come back. read more

Bluegrass Grill - Omelette with home fries. - Southern Near Me - Chattanooga, Tennessee

It's been a few years since I reviewed Bluegrass Grill, and about that long since I've actually been there. Why, you ask? Well, they're not open past 2pm on weekdays and closed on Sundays and then there's a huge wait on Saturdays, so that's why. I found myself taking a weekday off and thought, where should I go for a late breakfast? And then the idea of it being the perfect time to go to Bluegrass Grill hit me! Genius! I live fairly close and I went about 11:30 am. There was no one waiting when I arrived, so I was able to get a table right away. Awesome! Rivers was my server and he was awesome. I'm sure I've seen him around other Chattanooga establishments too. He is friendly and even asked my name and shook my hand. Cool stuff. I ordered the 2 eggs with bacon and home fries and 2 pancakes. You all should now by now, I love me some pancakes. My order came out pretty quickly and the eggs were cooked perfectly over-easy Yum! The home fries were very tasty and had just the right amount of seasoning. The bacon was delish too. The pancakes were good too. Hot and dense and hit the spot. I'm so happy I got to go and it wasn't crowded and it was just a wonderfully pleasant and beautiful day out. Thanks again to Rivers for the great service. Until next time! read more

New in Chattanooga and trying as many "eats" as possible! Had a breakfast meeting scheduled at Bluegrass Grill and was hesitant because it would not have been my first choice. What a sweet place, with sweet servers and, the grub will not disappoint. Being mostly plant-based with carnivorous hub, I ordered the Cilantro-Lime Tofu Hash with fresh local tomatoes, added black beans and avocados... EEEEEWOWWW, as my dad would exclaim when he thoroughly enjoyed something. Hub had Corned Beef Hash with a side of Glorious Grits... he loved it. Although very fresh ingredients, we thought a total of $70.00 including tip, for 4 breakfast orders was steep. However, don't let that stop you. The atmosphere is casual, you'll wait in a line on Saturday morning, which tells you that the locals love it and they don't mind the price. read more

This was the first restaurant I went to when I moved to Chattanooga, since then, I have already come 3 times, excellent experience so far. Its a small family owned business. Sometimes you could even share tables to maximize space. There is pretty much always a wait during the weekend so make sure you allow some time. Service has always been great, food has always been fresh and hot (temperature wise which is a big thing for me) I wish they had more options in the menu, I continue to order the same because I don't seem to have many options. Definitely recommend this place is also very budget friendly. read more

Bluegrass Grill - Tofu Cilantro Lime Hash - Southern Near Me - Chattanooga, Tennessee

This place was awesome. the food was killer, the atmosphere was homey, and you felt like your grandma was making you breakfast. The wait didn't last long, despite them being very busy, but even if it had, it would have been worth it. They claim to have the best biscuit in TN, and I'll say it was different. It was like oatmeal and wheat? Not bad, but you should try it. read more

The cashier lady was super nice, other than that this was the only good thing about this place I ordered a Biscuit with scrambled eggs and cheese it was awful where I come from scrambled means that there is no runny egg in the EGG! It was so runny it ruined the entire thing for me , and I was charged $8.20 cents another disappointing place in downtown Chattanooga! read more

Excellent food and service. Friendly little neighborhood restaurant. Staff was supper happy.

Omg so worth the wait!! I got the eggs benedict- the biscuit was unlike any I ever had in my life- sooo good. And the sauce- I wanted to lick the plate. The potatoes were perfectly cooked and seasoned. And my friend got the grits. He raved about them as well. And if you order hot tea it comes in the most adorable things. Our waitress was on the ball- I never had to wait for a drink refill nor did I ask. She was fantastic and sweet and knowlegable. The place is small, but clean and adorable. Loved the whole experience!! read more

Family owned business, homemade soups and quiche. Salmon Eggs Benedict. n more. Been going there for 15 years. Treated like family.

So I may be the only person in town that isn't in love with Bluegrass Grill. The story behind the restaurant is great but the food is just average. Most of the time there is a long line to wait and I just don't think it is worth the hype and the wait. read more

Bluegrass Grill - Glorious grits - Southern Near Me - Chattanooga, Tennessee

I have been told that the Bluegrass Grill has the best breakfast in Chattanooga. I assumed this hearsay was correct owing to the two hour wait. I was disappointed. To be clear, the gravy and home fries were good. Overall, everything on the table was good quality. However, nothing was special and it is not worth the wait. Their claim to having the best biscuit in Tennessee is outrageously false. read more

Excellent environment, friendly prompt staff and very tasty food. I had the eggs Benedict on a biscuit. Very tasty. read more

Waited to be seated on a Friday am. Small restaurant with Bluegrass in the background. Food was good. Coffee was not great. Had keto options which was cool. Keto biscuits yum!! Has some interesting options we had pesto omelette and greek omelette which were good. side of fruit was strawberries on plate which was different (not cut up which was a bit odd but not bad) Only recommendation have real cream for coffee. Would we go back, absolutely. Lots of other options we would like to try. read more

We had a divine experience with the heavenly corned beef hash! This friendly neighborhood place was comfortably bustling when we arrived but we only waited a few minutes for a table. There were plenty of great-sounding options for breakfast but the hash sounded amazing. With large-cut russet potatoes, scallions, onions, corned beef, topped with shredded Swiss, it was so yum and delicious. I have never had Swiss on corned beef hash but it was a perfect, savory addition to make this dish perfect. The staff was helpful and friendly while deftly managing a busy dining room. If we lived in Chattanooga, I would definitely be a regular here. read more

When I asked a local for good places to get breakfast, this was what he recommended most. Everything from the food to the atmosphere was great. I ordered an omelette with bacon, mushrooms, and green peppers. I also got the home fries and fresh fruit as sides. The omelette was perfect. The texture and consistency of the eggs were great and they filled the omelette with plenty of bacon, mushrooms, and peppers. The home fries were good as well as they were cooked perfectly. The atmosphere was another great part of the experience. The restaurant was cozy but not so packed that people were in each other's space. The restaurant was well decorated and most importantly clean. I would definitely recommend going here if you get the chance. read more

Bluegrass Grill - Bacon, mushroom, and green pepper omelette with home fries and fruit. - Southern Near Me - Chattanooga, Tennessee

So when we got to the place, there was a line. That's a good sign when you're talking about breakfast. We waited for about 20 minutes before grabbing a seat. Not too bad, we were ok with waiting. The servers didn't appear to be slacking at all, it was just packed. Bluegrass had a country, southern kitchen vibe to the decor. Which I loved. They have mismatched coffee mugs which add to the home vibe. Our waitress was super nice and attentive even though they had a line out the door. I ordered coffee of course and the veggie omelet sub egg whites with no olives. I had grits and home fries for my side items then decided to add wheat toast. The food came out in about 10 minutes which was fast considering the crowd. I ate my food like a wild person. Everything was sooooo good. Soooooo yummy. The omelet was perfect, couldn't have done it better myself. The home fries were crisp and the grits were hot and creamy. I will be back....any time I come to Chattanooga. To put the icing on the cake, turns out its a family run business and their first restaurant was Brother Juniper's in Memphis, TN. Which i absolutely loved while I was in college. Amazing experience. Now off to Ruby Falls! read more

I came here for a late morning breakfast on Saturday morning and was able to snag a seat at the bar. It was about 11:30 and the restaurant was full, but people were coming and going, so I think a wait might have been 30-40 minutes at the most. I ordered buttermilk pancakes, fried eggs and bacon - lots of bacon, so much bacon that the vegetarians sitting next to me said the only thing they missed was bacon. This place is great for vegetarians - they have a lot of no-meat dishes, including tasty-looking quiches, and they have soy meat options as well. They had a lot of variety in their food menu, really interesting pairings/flavors that I would have tried if I'd not been so keen on having breakfast. And my meal was good - tasty and hot, and the service was pretty good too. This is definitely a regulars/locals kind of place based on the banter of a lot of customers with the servers at the pay station next to the bar. And I liked the way everyone worked together to get things done. No one was huffy or irritated, making it a pleasant experience to be there. read more

Bluegrass Grill - Pancakes with bacon. Classic and delicious. - Southern Near Me - Chattanooga, Tennessee

Ok, this place is amazing. I don't usually order biscuits and gravy out because frankly they're never as good as mine. This is the exception. The gravy is actually meat free so if you have a vegetarian in the group they could have biscuits and gravy as well. They actually cut up the sausage and serve it on top... Not traditional but it tastes like it. Biscuits are half whole wheat and are so late and fluffy. And the special French toast was incredible and I don't even like sweets. Server was super friendly. Will absolutely be back. read more

My my my, what can I say! Tiny establishment and it was busy, but I have zero complaints! The servers were constantly moving, were very polite and attentive, and were always smiling. I know they must be tired, though! Great customer service. The line was out the door when we arrived, but it was a beautiful day and we only waited about 20 minutes. Worth the wait, I tell you. The corned beef hash! Have Thine own way, Lord! The potatoes, the corned beef, the egg! I should have gotten my egg soft but I said medium for some reason; I love yolk. That was my fault. The corned beef isn't the gross kind that clearly comes from a can. I don't know this to be true, but it tasted like they made their own. Nice big pieces and flavored very well. The potatoes are seasoned quite nicely. I was very surprised at how good the dish was; I shared it with the two people I was with just so they'd believe me, and I still had plenty. Nice portion. I'm slightly obsessed with corned beef hash and this was the best I've had from! The grits were ok. They were a little undercooked and gritty but I still ate them. I might pass on that the next time I go. I like my grits yellow and creamy. The biscuit was warm and fluffy. The hot chocolate was super sweet (I don't have a sweet tooth) so I didn't finish it, but I still really liked it; it was very chocolatey. I. Will. Be. Back. read more
