I had the Reuben which was great and generous portions for the price. Service was attentive. My grandson loved the Mac and Cheese and I stole some and agreed. We took 3 slices of cake home as well as an eclair. 3/4 of the desserts were great and the 4th still good. read more

The country fried steak is just two frozen steak patties you can get at the grocery store. Almost $18 for them. My wife got just plain rice and she said even it was bad. The food is overpriced for what it is but technically it is edible. read more

City Cafe Diner - Country fried steak - Diners Near Me - Chattanooga, Tennessee

A LOT of choices (too many). Food was ok. Coleslaw was excellent! Steak fajitas were very good except for the steak--tough and tasteless. Catfish and fries were good. Fried okra was ok. Good prices. Food was hot. Service was fast and friendly. All the dessert options LOOKED outstanding, but were just ok. $10 for a slice of Black Forest cake and same for the marble cheese cake (dense). Diner atmosphere. Recommend they pare down the options and focus on quality. read more

Fast service, good price, diner vibe... stick with standards for breakfast... eggs, omelets, pancakes... but skip the Benedict... Hollandaise was more like thin "yellow gravy", and the grits were runny & needed salt... read more

Loved it! Great coffee, breakfasts came out great and eggs Benedict was pretty good, wish we'd had room cuz the pies looked awesome. Huge restaurant with plenty of seating, perfect for breakfast. read more

City Cafe Diner - Eggs Benedict - Diners Near Me - Chattanooga, Tennessee

This diner was open until midnight which was why we went there for dinner. Damien was our server and he did a great job working his half of the room. Quite a few people eating later in the evening. They also serve alcohol. Menu was pretty huge. The diner was nice and clean. My husband was happy with his chicken and bacon panini. He had a cup of chili which was just right. I ordered the beef stroganoff cup of soup and it looked and tasted like vegetable beef soup with a couple of noodles. The soup was not at all what I expected. I also ordered a chicken salad sandwich. The chicken salad had way too much mayonnaise. I also couldn't taste anything but onions. This sandwich was really disappointing. I picked at it but I really couldn't eat it. The desserts looked amazing in the glass case. I would definitely come again and try something else on the menu. read more

Hope this place last forever! Breakfast is perfect! I got the Special and quickly realized I had more than I could eat ...ate it anyway... delicious! Wife got the junior plate and helped with my pancakes! Service was quick we had coffee and tea almost immediately! The Cafe looks like a retro style cafe dinner bright and happy! We were staying at a local hotel and the price here beat there's, and the experience was priceless! I recommend highly... you have nothing to lose and you certainly need a taste of the way things used to be! read more

This place never disappoints! Delicious food, great atmosphere, friendly service. We stop here every year during our visit.

First time coming to City Cafe Diner and will be our last. Honestly wasn't impressed with any part of our experience from the moment we walked in to the moment we left. First off, the host comes off incredibly rude. Doesn't seem like a pleasant guy to be around at all. I think he may be the manager or owner of the restaurant cause he went to the back and was barking orders at the staff a couple times during our visit. Definitely was off put by his demeanor, I don't think he should be working in customer service at all. Or be managing anyone because I'm sure the staff hate him. Also, our server Nolan seemed like an ok guy but he rarely came to check on us and even forgot to input my sisters appetizer order. When we asked about it he said he'd check on it but they didn't even receive the food until we were done eating our main course. Not to mention the potato wedges looked dry and just had cheese thrown on top and most likely melted in the microwave. Poor guy probably hates his job. Their menu is so big, you can easily get lost in the options. And I don't mean that in a good way. Typically when restaurants can't focus on a main theme for their menu offerings I'd bet that means most of the food is frozen and just heated up if ordered. The quality is typically lacking as well, which was the case with our meals. My husband got the cordon bleu panini, I tried their four bridges panini and my son wanted to try their fettuccine Alfredo. I think between my husband and I, the fries were the star of our dishes. My son seemed to like his meal though. My sister got their eggs benefit and her husband got the monte cristo which he said wasn't all that great. Just based on our first visit I cannot recommend anyone trying this establishment. Not only was the food lacking, but the manager and service could also severely improve. read more

I came in and was greeted right away. The place is clean and comfortable in temperature. I came with a double mission. To grab breakfast sandwiches and a desert. I asked which would be better, moist and light and I was recommended to the 7 sins. Can't wait to try it. I also ordered three egg sandwiches and as they don't have them on the menu they were a little on the costly side. Order came to $36. I hope the food is good. I'll report back afterwards. I was also informed that all the food is available 24 hours a day. read more

We popped in on a Friday evening around 9 while on the road to Atlanta and it did not disappoint. It was a steady flow of families entering but it was never too packed inside. The customer service was phenomenal. Every question asked was answered. Every thing that we requested was quickly provided. 2 managers were present and they both checked in to ensure all was well. According to our server, each cook has worked with them for 10+ years and you can tell! The Philly on a wrap came out hot hot and tasty! The cakes....must get at least two slices. The red velvet and Oreo did not disappoint! I'd recommend this as a casual dining experience that's quick and so tasty! read more

I'm very please with both the food and service each time I come here, and I particularly had excellent service from Deanna! The giant nachos and breakfast foods are my favorite things to order!! read more

This place has some of the best, shall I say traditional/Greek/Southern food around. It's always consistent and it's always pretty good. Their mac & cheese, not to be ordered as a side item, has to be ordered ala carte, but it comes big enough to share with someone and it's always worth it. Now let's go to what they're really known for, their desserts. Just go, I'm not gonna tell you what to order, just go and figure it out for yourself and you will have a hard time because it's all so darn good. A slice of cake will be as big as your face, or bigger, depending on your face. A true case of your eyes will always be bigger than your stomach and you'll take it home. Their menu has something for everybody and almost any taste! Our waitress was very on the spot, absolutely phenomenal ! the only miss was the stupid parking situation. There is a parking lot almost next-door adjacent to the Mayan kitchen, but just let me tell you it's not worth parking there. The people that own that lot are rip off artist and scum buckets of the first order! Even if you have to park down the street in front of a meter you're better off doing that than paying the scum parking people $10 for a couple of hours, $11 if you use a card! You might think I'm a bit perturbed about the parking situation, and I am, but scumbucket people like the ones that own that parking lot truly deserve to have their feet neatly tucked in their bungholes alongside a special place in Hades! read more

Tasty, different and well-run cafe off a busy interstate i highly recommend for those passing through. It's attached to a motel, but plenty of parking. We stopped here while traveling north and I am happy we did! Though it was lunchtime and busy, we were seated fairly quickly. Our server was efficient and pleasant. My husband had the chicken while I had the Caribbean Monte Cristo. Turkey, ham, Swiss cheese, and Cheddar cheese wrapped in a flour tortilla, beer-battered, and deep-fried. Side of the most amazing pesto mayo! I don't even LIKE pesto and this was delish. Their bakery and desserts looked tempting beyond words, however we managed to bypass them because we were full. Next time you find yourself in Chattanooga, make sure to visit for a mouth-watering meal! read more

Great food and service. Of course the cakes are magical! Very large menu. I went to the Cleveland restaurant.

places like this is what makes me scared to try new food. very unorganized, food tastes frozen and super dry. the strawberry french toast is literally just buttered toast (no egg mix) and cut strawberries. the moz sticks were awful & the garlic bread too. expected more for the price. also 400 menu items is a little insane? the only benefit to this restaurant was the hot goth making eye contact & smiling at me. read more

Really nice choice for breakfast. Burrito was awesome, chicken waffle with sausage gravy was yummy and eggs were done to perfection. Coffee was hot and friendly service! The AC was a bit chilly but we sat near the window which helped. Thanks for a great meal! read more

Cakes are insanely huge. Food was good and menu is ridiculous - I don't think I've seen a larger one. Haha. But it's actually decent food considering their single menu is basically enough for 5 or more restaurants. Service was decent as well. read more

Good service great food and just the atmosphere just made you feel welcome only thing we didn't like was the specials were in the dining room placed up on a board instead of by the doors so you could actually see what the specials were before you were seated. read more
