    a reflection in the window
    Dave B.

    Clearly a local favorite, the Dunlap Restaurant is the place to go when in Dunlap, TN. The portions are large. The options are many. The prices are fair. It can be a bit slow when the place is full, so don't be in a hurry. Excellent service. All that being said, it's not necessarily the prettiest or most memorable visual experience.

    Hashbrowns, eggs, gravy, grits
    A.J. S.

    We came here after staying at Falls Creek Falls. It was a very nice diner. The people were super nice. The servers were excellent. The food was great. I definitely think it was a great choice to have breakfast at. I had grits (i've been obsessed with grits since my cousin vinny). I ordered the hasbrowns crispy, i didn't expect them to be soo crispy though. Other than that I thought it was a pretty great experience. Would recommend.

    Food 2.5 service 4 Convenient next to our motel and because we were so tired from our hikes we did not search for any other place. Simple cooking, very busy, just not my taste. I could not eat the Pork chops or the green beans. My husband said his pork tenderloin was okay and he ate all of his food. I ate biscuits. Breakfast was again simple eggs, sausage, and biscuits and that was good for us. Did not have juice or other items .... Maybe affected by the economic crisis ??

    Chicken tenders, macaroni and cornbread salad
    Allison C.

    Typically small town local restaurant that you'd see in movies where everyone knows everyone. If you're not from the area, we were just passing through, you may get a few stares but everyone was extremely nice. Service was quick and efficient. Prices were slightly higher than I'd imagine for a small town country place, but portions were good. Meat and 3 are their big pull, with daily and weekly specials. Chicken tenders were great, macaroni typical, but the cornbread salad was meh. Tasted like potato salad with cornbread mixed, so if we ever returned I wouldn't get it again. Definitely a decent place for a good meal not far off the interstate.

    Two Eggs, Grits, Hashbrowns & Gravy
    Olivia K.

    During our airbnb stay in Dunlap, my friend and I searched for breakfast options before heading to Falls Creek Falls. We came upon this restaurant, which seemed quite popular so we decided to give it a try. I personally ordered 2 eggs, grits, hashbrowns & gravy with a coffee to drink. My personal opinion/experience: - Pricing: 5/5 One thing I can't disagree is that the pricing is very fair. For my breakfast plate itself, it was $4.79. Coffee (w. free refills) was $1.75. I was satisfied that I can get my breakfast fill for a very decent price. - Service 4/5 We got seated right away and as soon as we were ready to order, they were ready. They came to us a fair amount of times to check up on us despite the influx of customers coming in. - Food 3/5 I found my breakfast plate to be a bit bland for my taste. I did add ketchup & hot sauce, but I still wasn't really satisfied to my expectations. Hashbrowns were a bit soggy than crunchy. Grits were plain (ideally I wish they'd have an option to make it cheese grits instead). Gravy also could have been more flavorful as well... - Drinks 1.5/5 As with the coffee, I was very disappointed. I really wanted the caffeine, but I couldn't get myself to even finish the small cup - never-mind another refill that they kept offering. To me, the coffee itself had a bit of a strange after-taste. I can't really describe it or know what it was... I also tried my friend's lemonade to find that it wasn't what I was expecting at all... I didn't really taste the lemon juice. I tasted more of the lemon rind in water than anything. Overall, the food/drink didn't satisfy for me or my friend. But if you are looking for a quick/cheap breakfast fix around Dunlap, maybe this will do it for you.

We visited during a snowy day in Chattanooga, which normally would have meant sitting on the patio. The patio is heated and dog-friendly, but with the weather being particularly unpleasant, the staff graciously allowed me to join my humans indoors as long as I stayed in my carrier. From the moment we arrived, everyone was incredibly welcoming. Several servers stopped by to say hello, compliment me on my excellent restaurant manners, and generally make me feel like an honored guest. The food was excellent, and my humans enjoyed their meal while I was treated to a side of chicken that disappeared surprisingly fast. The service was attentive, friendly, and genuinely warm throughout our visit. The restaurant itself has a comfortable atmosphere with plenty of character. One of my favorite features was the giant cow mural, which provided excellent entertainment while I waited for my chicken to arrive. I spent several minutes making sure none of the cows planned to leave the wall. What stood out most was how accommodating the staff was. They didn't just tolerate a dog--they made us feel welcome. Dogba's verdict: Great food, wonderful service, heated patio seating, emergency snow-day hospitality, and cows that thankfully stayed inside the paint.

    Back in town, we visited for the first time recently after knowing about the restaurant for a few…read moreyears. We got an order of the hush puppies as an appetizer. They were okay, but for 5 bucks...what do you expect?‍. I would say the accompanying butter was supposed to be honey butter, but it seemed like regular butter to me! The server was polite, but I was scratching my head because she started with---"Let me go see what's not available anymore." Shouldn't she have done that before speaking to us?? The atmosphere is relaxed, but there isn't much to the decor. It was just casual.... there was brown butcher paper on top of white table cloths...kind of tacky really. It was busy, however, which added to the noise. Hubby and I both ordered the 1885 burger. Now, we are talkin'! The burger was delicious! . It was juicy and tasty. Just an all around fantastic burger. This alone is what will bring me and hubby back. The loaded baked potato was standard, but good too.

It was also a beautiful day so we sat on the patio. I love that they work with local organizations for fresh vegetables and meat! Our waiter was very nice and fairly attentive. But the food... For the good - the crab cake was delicious. It was like all crab meat with no filler and was very tasty. The pimento cheese was also SO yummy. You could tell it was made fresh and had a great flavor. The pita it came with was fine, a little over-grilled. I was not crazy about the fried okra. I wish the pieces weren't just cut in half, because to me they had that slimy okra texture inside. My gf said they weren't THAT bad, but I really had to push myself to eat them. The rosemary fries have a great flavor and were crispy (I prefer thicker fries but my gf enjoyed these). I LOVE mac and cheese and was super excited to try theirs. It was very creamy and had a good flavor but there was way too much cheese for the amount of noodles. Like the ratio was pretty off. Now for THE issue. My gf ordered the Filet Mignon, medium. It came raw and without the blue cheese compound butter. By the time the waiter came to check on us, I was half done eating. He took the steak to be put back on the grill and brought it back with a bowl of crumbled blue cheese. It was still raw inside. He brought us extra fries, but by the time it came back I was done eating. She asked for it to go and it was STILL RAW. She had cut it, so it was super obvious if you looked. The manager came and talked to us and they took it off the bill, but for a $40 filet mignon it should not take 3 tries to cook it right and it still not really be right. She said there are cold spots on the grill and they're training a new line cook, but it was not a good look... I'd maybe give more of a pass if they were packed, but there was no one eating inside and maybe two other tables of folks outside.

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.
