The Four Bridges Panini Sandwich and chili
Nancy L.

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.

Debbie and I had a delicious breakfast this morning at the City Cafe Diner in Chattanooga. I enjoyed the classic eggs benedict and home fries while Debbie tried their banana pecan pancakes.this place is quite a change from their old location, much larger and more modern.

Cordon bleu panini
Darien C.

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.

Deluxe Combo Philly on a wrap
Kayla M.

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!

Strawberry french toast

This restaurant is the best! Full of very colorful people (literally)! The people next to us went to a high school football game where they came covered in multicolored chalk. The food is delicious and the diner is open 24 which makes it a perfect spot for a late night snack

Cajun chicken Alfredo
Tonya K.

This diner is open 24/7. They have a large menu to please everyone in your group. Love the decor of the new location- gives try diner atmosphere. Very friendly staff- prompt service- large portions and tasty food

Gluten free pancakes - nice & fluffy!

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!

Cake
Beth L.

Amazing service, great food, family friendly. And the cake!!! So much cake to choose from.

The cakes are out of this world! Delicious!!!!

I had The Motherclucker - Springer Mountain Farms Southern Fried Chicken, Spiced Pickles, Hot Sauce, Duke's Mayo, Niedlov's Bun. Hunter recommended adding Pepper Jack cheese and Bacon, as well as the Brussels Sprouts with Maple & Bacon. Everything was wonderful. There were way too many Brussels sprouts. It also would have been nice if they were cut into smaller pieces. They had a special dessert of Blackberry Cobbler with Vanilla Ice Cream. This brought back childhood memories of my grandmother's cobblers. My husband had the Brownie with Vanilla Ice Cream.

I made reservations about a week in advance (highly recommend), and even arriving a few minutes early at 5:00 pm, the place was already buzzing. The hostess greeted us immediately and had us seated right away. Our server was on it from the start: waters filled, drink orders taken quickly, and excellent guidance on appetizers. We went with the tomato pie, which sounds simple... but don't be fooled. The flavors are anything but basic. This is not an appetizer you politely share and move on from. It's plenty for four people, though you may find yourself quietly plotting how to secure the last bite. For our mains, we shared the warm beet salad and the beef picanha. The salad had such a great flavor pairing that even my husband, who is not a beet fan, loved it (a true culinary miracle). The picanha was incredibly flavorful and may very well be the best thing on the menu... except for the mashed potatoes. Honestly, I would go back just to order my own bowl of those mashed potatoes and call it dinner. Amazing service, outstanding food, and a great atmosphere. We will definitely be back very soon.

We tried a few beers from Five Wits and per her recommendation got the creamsicle shake as well. Solid beverage choices. The shake tasted part float part milkshake and it was absolutely delicious. Would order again. The food on the other hand was a bit eh. We ordered the Asian q burger and the mushroom melt burger and it took quite a while for them to come out and when they did they had unfortunately been left on the grill for way too long and were charred and crunchy. One set of our fries was cold and the bun to burger ratio was extremely off. Luckily, the staff agreed that our burgers were accidentally overcooked and they remade them no questions asked. The remade burgers were moist and better but still not fantastic. They were just burgers with minimal toppings on them. Not really seasoned and the flavor came from the toppings themselves. The buns were still too big for the burgers so there was a lot of extra bread and they have potential to be great but they were just average. Would have probably been a three star review but the staff and drink selection really earned the extra star. Would go back to drink and maybe snack but probably not order a burger.

This is probably as close as they have to a sports bar atmosphere given the number of tv's and of course the ping pong table. When the weather is good, they have the ability to open up the back of the restaurant to their outside eating area, which is great. When the weather is uncooperative and the outside closed off, I find HFC to be a bit dark, with the motif maybe a bit dated. There's a full bar, with a very good beer selection. The service is always good, a characteristic of all the Monen restaurants. As to the food, there's a broad enough selection to satisfy anyone in your family. While the Philly brisket sandwich I had was just okay and I'm still trying to figure out the buffalo cucumber salad, the nachos and chicken wings were really good.
