Great food and great service. We had the goat cheese dip appetizer and three entrees. Goat cheese was served with a corn relish over the top that was sweet and savory all at once. Very tasty. I had the pecan Salmon. It was well cooked with a nice sauce. It came with grilled onion chunks and diced green onions on the fish. My sister ordered the Red Fish special. It was topped with fresh pickled cucumbers and a light sauce. My mother had the skirt steak sandwich. A generous portion of steak in house made flat bread. All and all it was a delightful meal. read more

I went here twice and likely won't be back. First visit just had burrata. It was great! Hard to mess up cheese. Second visit I had a chicken sandwich off of the brunch menu. 2/5 stars. The bread was fabulous. It was a thigh so that was very disappointing to me as I was expecting a breast. The flavor was good but I hate the texture of thighs and there are those gross bits in it. The potatoes it came with were under spiced and burnt. 1/5 stars. Basically didn't eat my meal at all. My husband got a breakfast burrito and thought it was okay. He ate it but said it was mostly filler and not a lot of chicken. Definitely a bummer of a meal. Shame because the place is cute. read more

Second time I have been here and both were an experience good enough to come back. Service was a bit slower this time, but I think they might have been a bit short staffed. Server was friendly and did a great job. Beer is average to slightly above ... for craft beer, that is. I would aim for the cask ales over the others, as they are better. Mediterranean Mule was on point. Nice ginger flavor. Had the corn chowder both times. Excellent the first, even better this time. Biscuits and gravy were good, but maybe going really outside the box with ground brats would work better with the biscuits, as the Italian sausage flavor clashed slightly with the biscuits. Still very good. The French toast was A1. Soft interior, nice crust on the outside. Great sauce with fresh fruit. Atmosphere is nice and would love to sit outside during a warmer time of year. read more

It was OKAYYYY. Crispy potato wedges are delicious but other than that nothing spectacular (but nothing bad either!) we all enjoyed our lunch and the patio seating was beautiful read more

We loved this place so much. We stopped in for lunch on a Saturday, and the porch was packed and had a fun 3-piece folk band performing, which was fun! We opted to sit inside since we were worried about the heat with our young daughter. The service was so friendly and helpful, and we got a selection of small plates that we loved. The snap peas, brussels sprouts, sausage with rice and beans, and salmon skewers were all really good. Everything here is wood-fired, so the veggies were particularly excellent. If we lived near here, we'd definitely be return customers. read more

Food and service are great! The brussel sprouts were delicious. It is a little on the expensive side, though. read more

While visiting Chattanooga we walked past this restaurant and the smells coming from it were wonderful so we decided to eat there. The inside was full so we decided to eat outside. After seating us (there was one other table being serviced outside at the time) it took a while for anyone to come to us. Finally we ordered drinks and Brussels. Others began being seated and we waited and waited for someone to come back with our drinks and appetizer. Others were being seated and served while we still waited. Our server was nowhere to be found.Eventually we asked what was going on and were told by another server that "our server had tables inside and that we weren't her only table" At that point we decided it was time to pay for the drinks that had finally arrived and leave. By the way I didn't mention that it must have been 90 degrees on the patio and not one fan was facing our table. At that point we just wanted out of there. Another server came over and we asked to see the manager, who never appeared, but the rude server did denying what she had said to us. Long story short the other server found us a table inside and he is the only reason for the three stars. He could not have been more accommodating. The food was nothing special. In fact, mine was supposed to be flank steak flatbread. I told them to hold the arugula and the put nothing but some chopped up meat, not flank where we come from, on a folded tortilla. To be honest I should have asked where the rest of the stuff was but at that point we just wanted out of there. Just sayin there are quite a few restaurants right there and I'd choose another one. read more

Absolutely fantastic spot for weekend brunch!From the amazingly creative menu to the friendly service to the sophisticated ambiance, this place is a true gem! The cast iron cheee dip with toasted bread was delicious and decadent in all the right ways. The brat skewers were so original and the roasted cauliflower was just wow! To top off everything else, the portions weren't too big or too small and neither were the prices! I can't wait to return and try more things on the menu. read more

Traveling through Chattanooga, we stumbled upon Hello Monty, and we had lovely time. This small gem is nice, but not fussy. The menu was refreshingly original, the vibe was chill, the service was very good, and the drinks were tasty. The food was delicious - of special note were the roasted Brussels sprouts and the salmon skewers. We pass through Chattanooga once or twice a year and next time we're there we're heading to Hello Monty! read more

I travel quite a bit so like trying new places (and new beers). Walked in and seated quickly, handed a small menu (less than what is on web site) and decided to forgo my usual IPA (theirs would not fit my taste profile) to get a Scotch Export. Served room temp (which is good for darker beers to highlight all the flavors) but the beer had a weird cinnamon taste. Second beer was the dry stout which was a better pour but for a "Guinness-like" had almost no coffee flavor and was sour. If that's the "dry", it maybe went too far for my palate. Got the lemon chicken which was mostly greens. The sauce wasn't bad but maybe a bit broken. The chicken was okay. The greens were frankly the best part. The place was busy but from my experience I can't recommend it. read more

I stopped by on Friday around 1 PM and the place was very quiet, with only about 4 other tables full. We sat outside on a nice patio. We got the ESB and Porter (both $6) and Salmon Skewers ($13). Service was friendly but a tad slow. The beers and food were both solid. The salmon skewers came with rice and a sweet and spicy sauce that we didn't like -- too much like cheap Chinese takeout sauce. I liked the simple, modern decor. read more

Hello Monty - Stout (left) and ESB and Salmon Skewers ($13) - New American Near Me - Chattanooga, Tennessee

Stopped in for dinner while visiting friends. We had a reservation and we were seated quickly. I will say the entry way was very busy with those waiting for tables which might be frustrating for those who are seated nearby. We started with the goat cheese toast and Brussels. Both were delicious and shareable. I ordered the shaved ribeye and the Alabama white sauce was a perfect pairing. Big fan of the wedges versus fries that came with it. Good options for everyone on the menu but pricing could be high on some items compared to others. read more

If you are looking for a spot in Chattanooga with a perfect atmosphere, Hello Monty is it. The vibes here are just right--lively, welcoming, and the perfect backdrop for a great meal. Everything we ordered was incredibly fresh, but a few things stood out: * Italian Sausage Flatbread: Absolutely delicious. Great flavor and perfect texture. * Sweet Tea Brined Grilled Chicken Sandwich: This was the highlight. The sweet tea brine made the chicken juicy and unique, and the combination of slaw, Alabama white sauce, and crispy onions was perfection. * Beer Braised Greens: Do not skip these sides! The flavor depth from the beer and wood firing makes them some of the best greens I've had. Highly recommended for anyone looking for fresh food and a great time in Chattanooga. read more

My husband and I came to Hello Monty a few months ago when we were in town for a few days. We actually came twice during that trip. We enjoyed it so much that we recently took a day trip with some family who wanted to check it out! We had the opportunity to try Sunday brunch, which was a treat. Of course, we had to order crispy Brussels sprouts for the table. I had the brunch salmon, husband and sister had the sweet tea brined chicken sandwich and shared some of the huge biscuit, and my brother had the brunch burrito. Each of us more than enjoyed our meals, so the trip was definitely worth it! Our waiter was very attentive and the atmosphere was nice as always. We'll be back again! read more

Quick bite here for lunch. A burger and Caesar salad, both of which were very good. Well with trying.

Great place - service was friendly, patio was spacious and food was fabulous. They were able to accommodate my large group of 15 on short notice the weekend of a big race. I made my meal out of several apps and they were fantastic. I wish I would have taken pictures. The salmon skewers were my fave. So full of flavor! I'll definitely return here the next time I'm in Chattanooga. read more

Hello Monty is such a gem! The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with a nice menu variety that has something for everyone. The service was friendly and attentive, and the food? Absolutely tasty! I stopped in with a friend and enjoyed a couple of apps and drinks. Everything came out quickly, which was a pleasant surprise, it's always nice when great food doesn't keep you waiting. One feature I really loved was the open kitchen with glass walls. Being able to see the chefs at work added such a fun and unique vibe to the experience--it's like getting a behind-the-scenes peek at your meal being made. All in all, a great spot for good food, good drinks, and good vibes. I'll definitely be back! What we ordered (& from most to least favorite): Blistered Tomato Toast, Brat Skewers, Cast Iron Cheese Dip read more

Great casual dining in a relaxed ambience. Great table service from knowledgeable and attentive servers. Nice selection of proprietary ales and decent wine cocktail menu. Signature roast Brussels Sprouts appetizer is huge (very shareable) and delicious. read more

Pretty much everyone agrees that bad service can ruin a dining experience. And that's the story with last night's dinner. The waitress was non-existent throughout the evening and we had to flag down other workers for silverware, drinks and our orders. The food arrived cold and not prepared well...but looked really good. Props for presentation. Delivered by someone other than our waitress, it took 20 minutes before we could let her know about the subpar quality. The charcoal grilled ribeye ($41) came out pre-cut (never seen that before) and way overdone. Still cold. We had to leave the leftovers (grrrrrr!!!!) because no one could find a bag. This place could be so good but poor service just sinks it. read more

My wife and I dined here on a weekend evening and had a reservation. It was 1/2 full when we arrived and around same when we'd exited around 8:00 or 8:30. Staff and service were great. Ambiance was solid. Some families with young kids around but noise wasn't an issue. We'd already been snacking as we went around town so we were really just focused on quality over quantity in terms of the food we'd ordered. We shared some crispy Brussels Sprouts and the pork chop entree. Both were great, and quantity was certainly not an issue with the sprouts. The pork chop had a really nice char to it but was bone-in and still very moist and delicious. Our first time visiting and will definitely go again. read more

Great little place kinda tucked away off Main Street. The entire is small and cozy with tables spread out just enough so you're not right in top of each other. We were greeted quickly by our server and a carafe of water was placed on the table immediately. The menu is on the smaller side, but still enough to make most people in your group happy. Like another reviewer mentioned, prices are slightly higher than what I was expecting, but the food is excellent! read more

I want to start by saying that I have been going back-and-forth on this review for a while. At first glance, Hello Monty was everything my wife and I was looking for. I wanted to try something new that had everything we wanted in a restaurant and we came across this little gem just blocks away from where we were staying for the night. we enjoy craft beer, check. The service was fast and spot on, check. And as we did not sit inside, the evening was nice and the outdoor seating was comfortable, check. So right from the beginning everything was hitting the mark. When you're comfortable, the beer tastes good and the service is fast, It's hard not to enjoy where you're at. We ordered a few appetizers, the brussels sprouts, which are arguably some of the best I've ever had in Chattanooga, with the exception of one other place, and the shrimp skewers which in my opinion are extremely overpriced and is the only reason that I was debating on giving this review four stars instead of five. I believe that four pieces of shrimp on a skewer do not warrant $12. They certainly did not taste $12 worth. However, the Caesar salad, the salmon, the half chicken and the incredible beer made up for the one appetizer that I thought was slightly overpriced. I will also say that the waiter did try to warn me on the portion size of the shrimp skewers. Long story short, we will be going back drinking more beer eating more food and enjoying the atmosphere of Hello Monty. read more

Great meal. Enjoyed the fire roasted half chicken. Also had fresh ginger beer soda. Both were great. Surprisingly good food.

My granddaughter held a special event and it was lovely. It was held in the upstairs lounge area... food, service and ambiance were all wonderful and they made the special event most memorable read more

The meal was OK. Nothing spectacular and the food was kind of bland. I had the prime rib sandwich which had way too much bread compared to the meat. And even though it had peppers and some type of cheese sauce on it, it just didn't have that much flavor. The potato wedges were really good, but when the side dish is the star, that's a problem. read more

Excellent service! Our waiter was very nice and patient and the food came out quick. Everything was yummy and good portion sizes.

We made a reservation for Hello Monty same day for a Friday evening. Good thing we did as they turned walk ins away. The space is cute and comfy and the wood was wonderful. The fried Brussels were perfect and enough reason to come back again. The half chicken and fire roasted broccoli were delightful as well. The carrots stole the show and how often does that happen!? The featured wines were just the cherry on top of a lovely evening. We will be back! read more

We've heard this is more of a brunch spot, but were extremely pleased with our experience. We enjoyed a few apps (roasted broccoli, fried Brussels, & cheese dip) immensely. Service was 10 stars out of 5. read more

I will start by saying that the food was excellent. We tried the ribeye and pasta. Both were very fresh and made perfectly. I only listed 4 stars instead of 5 due to a couple of things: they don't have fountain drinks, only cans, so no refills on soda & the steak and other menu items do not come with a side. You can expect to order sides separately or not have them in a more upscale place, but this is a casual spot so something with a $40 steak would have been good. We enjoyed the meal overall it was a nice dinner. read more

Food was amazing. Service was a little spotty but I think it was because we came at shift change.

Ate at 4:30pm on a Wednesday. Made reservations but not needed for that time. We got seated right away, put in an order for the crispy Brussels and was served within 5 min! We'd give the Brussels a 5!! Our server Kat was awesome and helpful. Sat us at a booth so we could watch the cooks prepare the food and it was interesting! Ordered: the Caesar salad with yummy house dressing! Broccoli-can't wait to get that again, it was so flavorful!! Mashed/loaded potatoes so creamy and loaded! Crispy fries-very crispy and had a spicy mayo, would be great with the burger which we will try next time. We split the salmon which had such a wonderful sauce/flavor. Paired with blanched cabbage-you'd have to like cabbage to appreciate this pairing (we do). Everything was prepared so well in their ovens from Germany and seasoned perfectly. We observed the cooks cleaning often. We had fresh brewed coffee and the raspberry jam parfait (it was lite) I would give it a 3 rating. But because it was my husbands bday she didn't charge us for it. It appears that they make some of their own brews there. There's a nice bar area with a tv. Plenty of seating indoors and out. Plenty of parking. Clean restrooms. read more

Visited today on my way back to Atlanta. Food was amazing and the ambiance is just right. It was me and my son (7) and he loved it as well. Our server was very friendly and attentive and the food came out quick. We had the salmon skewers as an app which was delicious and I also had the blackened salmon entree. The skin on my salmon was perfectly crisp just how I like it. My son had a fancy grilled cheese and potato wedges which are the best I've ever tasted. I would definitely come back here again when I'm in Chattanooga. read more

They have very good food, good atmosphere and great service! The watermelon appetizer is amazing!

I guess I will be the oddball and say I was a little let down. I had high expectations for the restaurant as it's newer to town and I had heard positive things. Everything was cooked seemingly well, presentation was good. The flavors didn't quite hit me as well as I expected based on the plating. The tastes were "off" particularly with the flank steak; I think the capers and herb selection may not have been the best fit for the cut of meat. The potatoes, however, were great. The desert was delicious (apple crumble). The service was good and well paced, we were called "sunshine" every time we were interacted with. The salmon was okay but not "WOW". Overall 3.5 out of 5. The price didn't justify itself. Not the best "mood" inside either. I would consider going again for the brunch if a friend asked specifically to try it. Maybe outside seating read more
