    Dinner here consisted of soul food, live music by DLY2 and great vibes. I absolutely loved the chill and laid back vibes here. Live music is always a sure way to make a dinner outing better. The restaurant really truly reminded me of a family hangout. My food was that if a Sunday dinner and I really loved it all. The staff felt so familiar despite it being my first visit. Service was amazing. I would visit again whenever I'm in town again.

    Ox tails, sweet potato casserole and collard greens with cornbread....soooo good!

    Second time coming to this restaurant. This is now my favorite place to eat at Cambridge square! All the food is delicious with big portions. The service is excellent. The vibe is happy and James is an amazing person that makes you feel like family every time you go. I will be definitely coming back and bringing anyone who comes to visit us! LOVE LOVE LOVE this amazing restaurant.

    The ambience is amazing! Staff is wonderful! Jayden was so friendly & attentive! I enjoyed my meal, which was the roast beef, though it was a little over-seasoned. Lotsa thyme & rosemary. It was also a tad too chopped for me. I like more a chunks, but it was still good. The flavors were present. The glazed carrots & roasted potatoes & onions were a good balance for it. Loved the cornbread! And the mac & cheese was a "YES!" The lamb chops were delicious. Not gamey at all! That hibiscus tea was EVERYTHING! They also had live music.

    I went at the recommendation of someone. I was told they have a tradition of taking a photo of all new comers. I thought it was cool. Plus heard it was good soul food. It was easy to find and there was plenty of parking. They also have live music on the weekends. Since, I don't eat beef or pork and allergic to fish, I ordered baked chicken and sides. I got greens, fried corn, Mac and cheese, and dressing. It also came with cornbread. Overall the food was good. The baked chicken wasn't super seasoned just a piece of baked chicken. The sides were all good. Really enjoyed the flavor. Also got this cake that was really good. Nice family business which has the family feel. People friendly. Music was good. My only disappointment is I didn't get a photo. I follow their page and everyone else that was with me was spotlighted that night as newcomers. No one mentioned to me about a photos.

    I had the absolute please of checking out this restaurant on a Friday evening. I discovered this place from a tik Tok video sent to me advising of must try places in Chattanoga TN. This restaurant is located in Cambridge Square in Ooltewah, Tennessee. Davis Wayne's has a prime location on a corner in the square. I am not sure if the restaurant takes reservations, but we walked in and had no problem being seated within a few minutes. We were seated at a table next to the most lovely couple. We talked with them about he food. They raved about the chocolate covered strawberries and even had two sent to our table so we could try them. This is an example of the family like environment present at this restaurant! Not only are the staff a pleasure, but so are the patrons! It appears that all staff do all jobs. While we did have a wait staff, everyone chipped in to help. If someone noticed that my glass was empty they filled it up! It was refreshing to see staff that actually take pride in what they do. Regarding the food: I tried the wings with a side of Brussels sprouts and fried corn. My date had the salmon with Mac and cheese and potatoes and onions. All meals come with corn bread. The wings and salmon were amazing! I would order both again. My Brussels sprouts were cooked to perfection, and they are my favorite side item. Overall I enjoyed my meal. Some things to note: they don't deep fry any of the food, they also do not cook the vegetables in pork! This is a big deal for me since I am not a red meat eater. Now let's talk about those strawberries that a guest ordered for us! Oh my gosh- when I tell you it was the best chocolate covered strawberry I have ever tasted. The strawberry itself was so big and full of flavor. Adding the amazing chocolate to it only elevated the taste! You have to try these when you visit! They are dipped in house daily! This was hands down one of the best dinning out experiences I have had in a long time. It was refreshing to walk into a restaurant and feel like you have known the staff for decades. Not only are they personable, but they also pride themselves on providing recommendable customer service. I highly recommend checking this spot out if you are in the area!

    This is a beautiful black owned restaurant in Chattanooga! The food is service is top tier. Most importantly, the live music sets the tone for the perfect t evening! They are only opened for dinner

    Four Sides for the win! #lite #delicious

    A beautiful summer evening deserves a visit to Davis Wayne's. The warm breeze brought us here. The welcome was just as warm. We opted for the outdoor dining due to the beautiful decor and fresh air. We selected four sides each since it is evening and we thrive on a vegetarian diet. There was southern flair on every selection without carnivorous oils. For those who enjoy other nutritious options, there are plenty of options on that side of the menu too. There is even a bar, live music and desserts aplenty. So if you are craving accessible dining, drop in to Ooltewah's Cambridge Square and sit yourself down at Davis Wayne's!

Taylor was our server and she was PHENOMENAL. from making us feel welcome to making us never want to leave, she had the best personality. She was prompt and checked on us many times to ensure we were enjoying our time. We ordered a couple cocktails, the blackberry mule (something like that haha) was great. I had 2! for dinner we had the spinach dip and steak nachos from the appetizer sections. The balsamic glaze on the nachos was my favorite part, just the right amount of tangy with savory.

Now, the place had more noise than a family reunion after someone mentions politics--two teenage softball teams carrying on, laughing, living large. Hard to fault that. Better than silence so thick you can hear your own regrets. Food showed up quick, which is about all you can ask when you're hungry enough to consider eating the menu. And it was good--honest good. Not "tell your mama about it" good, but solid, dependable, "yep, I'd order that again" good. Prices didn't make you feel like you'd just financed somebody's boat, either. Beer was cold--like it ought to be, like it better be--and the waitress understood to be there exactly when we needed her and vanishing when we didn't. That's an art form. Now the atmosphere... well, it had all the charm of a place that once had big decorating plans and then decided, "Eh, this'll do." A little on the bare side. Felt like a Friday night that never quite got dressed up. But I'll tell you this--I'd go back. And that, right there, is about the highest praise you can give a place without writing a love letter to the chef.

Casual, colorful, the kind of spot where you expect someone to walk in wearing flip flops and carrying a fishing pole. Comfortable vibe. Easy place to settle in and see what the fryer can do. First up were the fried green tomatoes. They came out looking like they'd just won a beauty pageant. Crispy outside, tender inside, cooked exactly right. Texture nailed. But flavor-wise they felt like they forgot their gym bag at home. Needed salt. Needed a little personality. A rare moment where the fryer did its job but the seasoning clocked out early. Then the headliner arrived. The fried chicken at Champy's Famous Fried Chicken has a reputation to protect, and thankfully it shows up ready to work. Crisp, flavorful crust. Juicy inside. The kind of chicken that crunches just enough to make everyone at the table look over and get jealous. "If the deep fryer had a Hall of Fame, Champy's chicken is getting a first-ballot vote." And then came the move that sealed the deal. A dip into Champy sauce. Suddenly the flavor level jumped another notch. Salty, tangy, just enough punch to make the crust shine even more. The sleeper hit though? The cole slaw. Creamy, balanced, and actually refreshing next to all the fried goodness. It's the quiet kid in class who ends up acing the exam. Easy to overlook, but absolutely worth ordering. Now for the tiny curveball. I happened to land there on karaoke night. And let's just say... the speakers believed they were performing at an arena concert. Loud enough that conversation required leaning halfway across the table and reading lips. On the flip side, the crowd was clearly having a blast. A few genuinely good singers, a few that were more... enthusiastic than talented, and plenty of people cheering them on. Honestly, respect to anyone with the courage to grab a microphone in a room full of strangers. So no star deductions for that. The people who showed up to sing were having the time of their lives. Bottom line, Champy's Famous Fried Chicken is a fun place with seriously good fried chicken. Order the bird, grab the slaw, lean into the fried side of the menu, and enjoy the show if karaoke happens to be on the schedule. Just maybe bring your singing voice... or your earplugs.

I asked the beef to be cooked at medium but the beef was tough and overcooked. I was surprised at how dry it was. There were some pieces of the beef that were decent, but overall just too overcooked and dry for me. It was pretty disappointing actually for my first time here. Service was great, they were attentive and checked up on us from time to time. I just felt like the Carne Asada price at $17.99 did not correlate with the quality of meat at all.

For this particular visit, I planned to grab some pizzas as a thank you lunch treat for our veterinarian's office. Since I knew our morning was going to be busy, I attempted to order ahead online. The bonus was that if I ordered pick-up online, I was able to use a $3 off promo code. Unfortunately, it kept stating that there was an error in their system and to call the location to place the order instead. Thinking perhaps this was due to the order being placed online after hours, I decided to wait until the next day and try again. Morning came, and I waited until this location was open and attempted again to place a pickup order online (both with and without the promo code). No success. I hopped on the phone to call, and no one answered. Called again 25 minutes later, but still no one answered. Looked like I was just going to have to go in the morning of and place the order in person and pick-up then and there, and fingers crossed they may honor the $3 off online promo code. The morning of came, I waited until they were open, and I gave the phone call a try just one more time. No answer. So I headed on down. Upon arriving, I was greeted by a friendly young man, I believe his name was Tyler. I ordered and let him know that online was not working and if he'd honor the promo code since online and phone ordering was not successful. Unfortunately, he said he could not. I placed my order with him, and 20 minutes later, my pizzas were ready and looked and smelled amazing. While I was waiting, I noticed that Tyler looked to be the only one running this location. Also, a lot of construction workers came in and picked up a large order of pizzas as well. I take it this location is a "one man band" operation and is perhaps why the phones don't get answered. Nonetheless, Tyler was friendly, and this was perhaps one of the cleanest Little Ceasar's Pizza locations I have been to.
