This was on my list to try while visiting Chattanooga. I love trying vegetarian places that aren't…read moreall about fake meat. I just got a burrito to go and lucked out with parking in front. It was pretty quiet (early on a Friday evening). I only saw one employee while I was there and she was very nice. She brought me a glass of water while I waited. The burrito was DELICIOUS. I added tofu to it, which probably wasn't necessary, but I love tofu. I guess I was a little disappointed they didn't really do anything to it. I should not have eaten the whole thing, but I couldn't stop. The chips and salsa were also really good. The chips were very crispy and the salsa was fresh. The prices are really reasonable too! I would go back if I visited again (and I don't think I'd say that about anywhere else I ate).

Parking: Street parking is conveniently located right out…read morefront and usually easy to find. If those spots are taken, there's additional parking behind the building. Just be prepared for a short walk up the back stairs or around the side to reach the entrance. Seating & Restroom: There's both indoor and outdoor seating. The restroom is gender inclusive and wheelchair accessible. Service: Over the past 10 years and many visits, including celebrating multiple birthdays here, service has sometimes felt a bit inattentive or stretched thin. That said, on my most recent solo Sunday brunch visit, the bartender/server was genuinely warm, friendly, and attentive, which made a noticeable difference in the overall experience. It was refreshing and their kind and caring energy was so appreciated. Prices: Prices are very reasonable for the generous portion sizes. Menu & Food: The menu covers a wide range of offerings, which is ambitious and gives plenty of options. I've returned several times to try something new, hoping to discover a standout dish. I haven't quite found anything to write home about yet as most dishes land in the "just okay" category for me. They're filling, but not especially bold, flavorful, or memorable. As someone who really enjoys vibrant spices and layered flavor, I keep hoping the next dish I try will shine, but everything I've had thus far tends to be a bit on the uninspired side. The pancakes have been the most reliable item over the years. They aren't over-the-top, but they're consistently good and comforting. The kids' stack is especially generous and more than enough for most adults. The only French toast option is peanut French toast; a classic version would be a nice addition for those with peanut allergies or folks just looking for regular French toast. On my latest visit, I ordered the migas, which come as four mini tacos with a small side salad. It was decent, though nothing particularly memorable. I ordered a side of hashed potatoes, which were a bit dry. I also ordered a side of the cheese grits, which were unfortunately the low point for me. They were thin and more brothy than creamy. It was a bit like eating nutritional yeast slop. As a Southerner who absolutely loves grits, I'm honestly hoping there may have been a mix-up that day. I'd hate for anyone unfamiliar with Southern cooking, or vegan grits, to think that's the standard, because they can be incredibly rich and satisfying when done well (Sevananda in ATL, for example, has amazing vegan cheese grits), but these were very disappointing. With a little more creativity in the kitchen and perhaps some bolder seasoning or new sauces, the menu could really shine. I truly hope Sluggo's continues to thrive and considers adding more explicitly organic menu options. Just a bit more flavor and flair could really make it a standout.

Like so many places in Chattanooga, this wonderful restaurant is tucked away next to Coolidge Park…read moreon the north side of the Tennessee river. The restaurant can be found on the lower level just below an ice cream shop. Muscadine vines climb a staircase to the right. On warm days there are a few outdoor seating options which I'm sure are hard to get. In doors were cozy filled with greenery. Seats and table had an American folk feel. I was interested in the beet burger. The day I went, I ordered the special any patty with mushrooms and Gouda. Great flavor! I expected the beet patty to be closer to beet texture. It wasn't very beet like in texture or flavor. It was pink like beets. If you don't like the earthy flavor of beets, you'll be able to handle this patty. I didn't try something new for my sides. I ordered tots-always will choose tots! They were good. My only complaint was that the bathroom lights were to dim! I look forward to coming back here, the next time I need an escape from N AL!

We walked in and had the option of eating outside which we did but the table was dirty so we went back inside and secured a table. We had different waitstaff so we really didn't know who was going to take our order. I ordered the buffalo bowl. My friends seemed to enjoy their food too. The food was okay, the vibe was weird. We were waiting for the server to process our checks but they never came. I had to ask where we paid. I personally would not come back but we really only went because my friend is gluten free.

i absolutely ADORE this place. this was my second time here and both times have been just amazing…read more the sweet lady who runs the front register is just so kind and welcoming, and so is the staff in the kitchen. each time i've eat here, they've been so attentive and appreciative of everyone who stops by for a meal. this time around, i wanted to try the báhn mí with the golden tofu. i also got a side of curry and a side of broccoli. this was a DELICIOUS sandwich. i used the curry to dab onto the tofu for extra flavor and let me just say i was not disappointed in the slightest. the lychee and strawberry fruit tea was very refreshing as well and had pieces of real fruit, not just syrups. my mother was a bit overstimulated by the echo of noise (there was a small gathering when we arrived and their voices bounced around the walls easily and made them sound louder than they would have otherwise), due to the high ceilings i imagine, but overall this restaurant is well kept and very clean. i can't wait to keep coming back here to find my new favorite item, this place hasn't missed yet. 10000/10, highly recommend!

I was honestly quite surprised by how distinct each mock meat was. We got the: - BBQ Chicken Drumsticks: The drumsticks were thick, smoky, and slightly stringy- definitely reminiscent of real chicken. The sauce was on the sweeter side, but still tasty. - Teppan Tofu Bibimpak: Came out sizzling! The tofu was crispy on the outside, almost custard-like on the inside. The sauce was savory goodness. - Black Pepper Steak Udon: Steak was nicely chewy, udon well-cooked, strong pepper essence. - Truffle Fried Rice: Crazy enough, this might be the best fried rice I've ever eaten. Such a unique combination of ingredients including black truffle, avocado, pine nuts, chestnut, mushroom, and green beans. Cool presentation too. - BBQ Pork Fried Rice: Right amount of sweetness with good wok hei. - Tempura Shrimp Roll: Tasted classic, liked that it had fried enoki mushroom in addition to mock shrimp. Ambiance is casual and spacious, lots of parking up front. Service is fast and friendly. To note, they have an automatic 18% service charge. Also, if you spend $30 in one transaction, you get $10 VG cash for next time (no minimum purchase necessary, expires within 10 days). Honestly, I wouldn't hesitate to go back and try other dishes if it was a bit closer to my house. 10/10 would recommend!

While traveling 5 hours away we were hungry and searched for something quick but healthy. We decided to come here because of the name and also because there aren't many healthy options in the area. The only person that was friendly at this establishment was the cook. He came out to speak and to show us our pizza. The owner walked in the door as we were leaving. We were introduced to her but she barely parted her lips to speak. Not good. We just spent money in your restaurant and you can't speak to us. We got home and as you can see from my pics below the pizza and mushroom burger were good but the sweet potato fries were burned beyond recognition.

We went for lunch during the weekday and there were a few diners, though they were not overly busy. We were seated right away but it took a minute for our server to come.

We were starving by that point so I got the curry bowl (tons of veggies with curry sauce on top of brown rice) and my husband order a gyro (seitan with your traditional gyro toppings with fries).
