    a bottle of beer on a table

    Really cool dive bar and awesome patio. They carried my buddies whisky so that was a bonus.

    two cans of beer

    Nice little place, complete outdoor setting with some good brews! Dog friendly and overall great atmosphere! I do wish there were servers for the tables but they make it work

    This is the old Taqueria Jalisco sign in the bathroom. It has now moved across the street. Great area to bar hop!

    Oh my gosh, yes! I would totally recommend this place. The interior is just wonky and a lot of fun…read more We had a great server, she kept our drinks full and we were happy. The food was great. And the funny thing I have to say is that finding some of the best nachos all the way in Tennessee was a total shocker! Part of it is just because they take this large sheet pan and spread the chips out over it so every chip has a topping. You're not left with a giant pile of chips that are totally naked in the middle of your pile of nachos. But I have to add to that that I got brisket nachos, the brisket was really wonderful, it was just savory and tender. The barbecue sauce is on the table were wonderful I'm just about anything. They have these great couch seating areas in the middle that were so much fun and just perfect for a family. And if you have even room for one bite, get one of their turnovers! Apple and blueberry turnovers are excellent! The cherry was not as good, but the pastry is divine. But it is super light and flaky and everything you could ask for in a baked treat.

    Yummy! It's taco week in Chattanooga and this was so worth the trip! We tried the feature taco,…read morebuffalo chicken. It had chicken, lettuce, ranch, and a spicy sweet sauce. Absolutely delicious!!! The chicken was so moist and all the flavors blended together well. I also had a side salad which was wonderful. The service was outstanding! Every one on one team working together to insure that you have a great experience. And the interior is out of this world!! So much to look at and so many really neat one of a kind pieces of recycled art. Loved it and can't wait for our next trip back there!!

So on my first mainland trip in a couple years, I have been trying different burger shops. Jack Brown's had really high reviews, had a super fun vibe, and a really creative menu, which I love. Service was on point. Let's get the elephant out of the room right now - the size. lol I was prepared for a small burger from all the reviews, but, Shake Shack has a small burger, Jack-in-the-Box has a small burger. It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight and the dog. But I ain't gonna lie, that is one tiny burger! It's like...five bites? One for each corner, and then the middle. lol They might be better off coring the middle, and marketing them as hamburger donuts. The easy fix is just order an extra patty for a few bucks more. Same as Shake Shack. The other thing I have a problem with is the, "we don't do lettuce or tomato..." line. Sorry, that's like a pizza with no toppings. Really, it just sounds like they found a way to reduce overhead by not having to prep and pay for vegetables. But whatever... if great burgers can be made without lettuce and tomato, and without a big patty...let's get it on. I'm sorry, but that patty was charbroiled to the point of no juice. This is where a tomato might help with moisture. lol I don't see how this is actually Wagyu. A Wagyu burger should be melting in my mouth. I don't know what happened, but it reminded me of my first job at Burger King, running whoppers through the flame broil conveyor belt. If you got one that just came out, you scored big time. But if you got one that just sat in the warmer for 10 minutes, you got a dry burger. It was a very disappointing burger. Then again, I just had a Shake Shack burger yesterday, and it was nomnom greasy goodness. Of course I was going to be disappointed. It's like Ozzy Osbourne following up Slipknot as the opening act. The fries were great. They came in a huge basket, and the price was very reasonable.

Was really good, but they gave so much I couldn't eat it all. My friend and her husband had been here before for drinks before a football game which they almost forgot about from enjoying the atmosphere here.

    Wow. It's been seven hours since I ate here and my stomach still hasn't forgiven me for it…read more I stopped in for lunch with a friend and I ordered a Grilled "Rueben" (yes, the misspelling is theirs, check the menu). Their sandwiches come with chips (I assume they are Ruffles... because they have ridges)... for a buck more you can have fries, or for $1.50 more you can have onion rings. I didn't want any of these, so the server told me I could have a salad (or any of their other sides). She disappeared and soon came back with a small bowl with a couple of pieces of iceberg lettuce, a huge quarter slice of tomato, and a few other "salad-y" type things. It was accompanied by the cup of the thickest blue cheese dressing I've ever seen in my entire life. I turned the cup over and the blue cheese came out in a big clump on top of my salad. I had to break it up with my fork and mix it up with my "salad". There was almost as much dressing as there was salad. Not a good start. Before I was even done with my "salad", our food was ready. This was not too surprising considering we were one of three tables in the place during the lunch rush, but I still thought it was real fast. Our plates were set down in front of us and I was ready to dig in. I grabbed one half of my sandwich and immediately felt that the bread was soggy on one side (the side on the plate)... and not just wet... soggy... soaked as in the bread turned to mush in my fingers. I took a bite and was disappointed even further. Something just didn't taste right. After choking my way through the first half of my sandwich, I figured out what it was. It was the "sauerkraut". It was the worst tasting sauerkraut I've ever put in my mouth. I scraped it off the other half of my sandwich, discarded the soggy piece of bread and folded the remaining half of bread over just the corned beef... that significantly improved the sandwich and that's not saying much. I was also under the impression that my salad would replace my chips... but no, I got a half plate of Ruffles and a fresh from the jar pickle spear too. In fact, I paid an extra two bucks for my little tiny bowl of "salad". Obviously none of the food here is fresh. It's bought at the grocery store, slapped together and heated in the microwave. I think this is more of a "saloon" and the "bistro" was an afterthought. Our server never checked back with us to see how things were going. She did have plenty of time to bring the other tables their checks and to sit and talk with the cooks. In fact, she was so busy with that the cashier (a manager, maybe?) came by with the check for us just after we got our food. In a hurry, much? I mean, were they *sooo* busy that they needed the table space? I think not. As for the decor, it didn't seem that old.... there's been some wear and tear. Obviously, it has a little rougher life when it's a saloon instead of a bistro. Honestly, the best part about this place? Free parking downtown. Maybe this is a great place to listen to live music and drink beer, but stay away from the food... stay far away. My bowels still hate me after eating this stuff.
