I don't know what took me so long to check this spot out, but I'm so glad I finally did! This is one of the newer restaurants in Chattanooga, and while I wanted to try their brunch, we ended up going for lunch. Their dinner menu leans towards to the more expensive side, but their lunch menu is just right! I ordered the collard greens melt and it was absolutely delicious! My friend got the Italian sausage flatbread (which I tried) and I was so impressed I'm convinced to order that next time I go. We also ordered a side of the fingerling potatoes with their homemade aioli sauce and they were honestly some of the best I've ever had! My one complaint is that at lunch time, it was only us and one other table so not too much atmosphere, but I'm sure at dinner it gets much more crowded. All in all this is definitely a spot I would check out again! read more

We luckily stumbled upon this place while just walking around. Everything we had here (minus the coffee) was wonderful. We had the wings for a starter, the ribeye for our entree with okra on the side, and the apple crisp to finish. The okra was SO good! It was grilled with a spicy sauce which is a refreshing change from the fried okra you normally find at restaurants. The steak was cooked perfectly and the charcoal grill really gives it a great flavor. I would recommend getting the miso butter on the side though as a little bit goes a long way! The beer and cocktails are also good. The IPA was the best beer we tried here. They have a very solid Old Fashion which includes both bourbon and rye. I judge a place on its ability to make an old fashion and they definitely passed the test! I'm not sure why people are complaining about the service. Everyone we encountered here was extremely helpful and friendly. Our server took extra time to have a conversation with us about the area. Definitely recommend to try this place while in town. We will be back! read more

We really enjoyed our time here. We came for happy hour just to try it out. The vibe is casual and welcoming. The bartender extremely knowledgeable about the menu. Gave a brief talk about the beers and their history and really seemed to enjoy his job. We tried the happy hour flatbread and my goodness it's delicious. Light and slightly charred accompanied with roasted basil and garlic. I had draft white wine that was smooth and easy to drink. Hubby had a Kolisch beer that he really liked . We will definitely return to try their other items. Menu has plenty to choose from for vegetarians and meat eaters. Restaurant itself is really charming. Lovely atmosphere and a great space. Tables can accommodate large parties. Outside seating with a fire pit and multiple televisions. Street parking available and parking lot across the street. Great addition to the neighborhood. read more

Amazing service, all the staff at this establishment cares and has passion. we were here to enjoy the Dynamo Brewery beers and enjoyed them very much. The ambiance was excellent, great character, music that was engaging but didn't make it hard to have a conversation. 10 out of 10! read more

Hello Monty - Bar area - New American Near Me - Chattanooga, Tennessee

There are few things I respect more than a restaurant that has the confidence to keep course offerings limited and to rely on the strength of any given dish to speak to that decision. Hello Monty offers a thoughtfully crafted menu for brunch, lunch, and dinner that reflects a considerable depth of understanding of how to re-conceptualize American dishes with global sensibility. Service: Finding an open table has not been a problem either time I've visited as Hello Monty doesn't seem to have reached the "buzzworthiness" it deserves. The hosts and servers were friendly, and were flexible when we asked to switch to outdoor seating to enjoy the nice weather. Food: For brunch, the HM Shrimp ~n~ Grits were an utter hit. The dish was aromatic and plated with balance and vibrancy. Every bite was packed with flavor and subtle heat. Dinner did not disappoint. The Crispy Brussels Sprouts successfully set the scene for the rest of the meal. All we could do was look at each other and nod vigorously as we resisted the urge to dive back in before we had swallowed a bite. The Springer Mtn. Farm's 1/2 Chicken found it's way onto my plate as my main entrée. Nothing quite beats the feeling of having made the "right" choice at a restaurant. The rich yogurt paired with the spices and smokiness of the perfectly cooked chicken were a perfect balance of flavors. My friend had the Springer Mtn Farm's Chicken Wings as his main dish and he was kind enough to share a wing with me. These wings are absolutely in the running for the best wings in Chattanooga. Final Thoughts: Another great addition to the Southside. Honestly, I just can't wait to go back. I love the location, the décor, the vibes. I encourage all to patron this place. read more

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

While in town, I wanted to try out a new weekend spot with Mom so we chose Hello Monty. Staff was friendly and attentive. Heat lamps kept us cozy on the outside patio while we sipped on drinks from the bar and caught up a bit on life lately. We ordered the veggie naan pizza to split. Two pieces each was just enough of this healthy dish with uniquely tasty sauce. Then we ordered the s'mores dessert to split. THAT was a lot of marshmallow chocolate sweetness! And we each made the perfect s'more out of it. Was fun to check out Main St's newest addition. read more

Excellent ambiance and even better food. Servers were friendly and welcoming. Will be back for sure.

An amazing addition to Southside dining! Everything we tried here was excellent. The interior was done very well and I can't wait to sit on the patio this summer (they said it's dog friendly!). Started with an old fashioned and the naan. Light and salty with garlic sauce, everything a heart desires. For dinner I got the Caesar salad which was light, I hate when the dressing is heavy and creamy so this was my ideal salad. Added the shrimp skewers on top myself. My husband got the chicken and grits and let me tell you - YUM! Seasoned to perfection. The grits were more like a congee almost and that is not a complaint. Outstanding for real. Can't come wait to come back and tell all our friends! read more

This was my first time here and I loved it! The beer was delicious, and it matches well with its described style. The food here was absolutely delectable. The sweet tea brined chicken sandwich was juicy and had lots of flavor. The breading was very crispy. The whole sandwich was just nicely balanced and well put together. The potato wedges on the side were so crispy and yummy, I could've eaten an entire bucket full lol. House made ketchup and aioli were both good. This was the best lunch I've had in a while. The service was knowledgeable, attentive, and friendly, plus I got good suggestions that I'm glad I used. Please try this place! read more

Had a wonderful time at this restaurant! I came with a group of 8 and we got to try a little bit of everything. As appetizers we got the crispy Brussels sprouts and the beer cheese - both were delicious. The Brussels sprouts came with a lemon aioli that really made the dish stand out. For a table of 8 we got two of each appetizer (dip and sprouts) and it was more than enough. I got the mozzarella naan flatbread - I definitely recommend. It was thin, crispy, and cheesy. The large plates were served without a side (that was separate order). The steak seemed to be the standout. For dessert we tried the s'mores and the browny - both worth the try! They have a good bar selection as well as some beers on tap, but at the time I went the brewery is not yet operational. We also had a wonderful server who was patient with us and had some great menu recommendations. I will definitely be coming back! read more

Hello Monty - Sampler flight - New American Near Me - Chattanooga, Tennessee

The food was good. The service was good. Until I got the check. The prices in the menu were "out of date." The mimosa prices were listed at $7/glass and $11/carafe. I was just listed as 7/11. I asked the server about the prices and she said the $11 was for a carafe. Then the bill got there. The mimosa was charged at $8 glass with a $7 add on. I asked the server about this. She said the $7 was an up charge for the carafe. I pointed out the prices on the menu. She said it was a "misprint." I then looked more closely and saw the plates were charged higher than on the menu. I should have given her a $1 tip and said it was a misprint. Never again! I've been there twice now and have walked out unhappy. Btw...some will say it wasn't the server's fault. I disagree bc the server obviously knew about the discrepancy in advance and didn't communicate it when initially asked. Deceptive practices. read more

Recently tried, Hello Monty, and would recommend it. The atmosphere of the restaurant is nice for a small gathering with friends. The staff were very attentive and professional. I didn't catch the name of our waitress, but she was excellent. As for the food, my one critique would be that the menu is somewhat limited; although, all of the food is delicious. I had the burger and substituted for a plant based burger with fries. You will need to try their honey mustard dipping sauce if you get any fries. It is delicious. If you are a coffee lover, this is not the place for you. They don't have multiple options for coffee; they just offer an old school nostalgic experience with a pot of coffee and cream. Overall, enjoyed my time there, P.s, parking is available on the street or at the parking lot parallel to the restaurant. Warning: I know two people who were ticketed despite paying for parking. read more

Good experience on a Friday night. Good ambiance both inside and in the patio. We shared a cheese dip which was really good. Bread was perfectly toasted. Entrees - flatbread and salmon. The blackened salmon was a bit too charred but once you peeled off the char the salmon underneath was perfect and matched well with the polenta. The flatbread was good - nothing special. Service was great. Had a decent old fashioned. We'd go back. Would do 4.5 stars if we could. read more

Hello Monty - Australia Outback. - New American Near Me - Chattanooga, Tennessee

This was a very subpar experience as both service and food was not great. A very long wait to receive our steaks that arrived prepared wrong. ( rare instead of well done etc) No silverware and no one in sight to try to obtain it. We ordered wine that was never delivered ( because they were out.) But, we were never told. A couple other issues like no refill on the water and food being cold. There are way too many other dining options so we will not be returning. We are new to the area and this was our first restaurant experience in Chattanooga. read more

We stopped here for snacks and drinks. Staff was very pleasant. The beer cheese was supreme!!! We ended up getting a second order. Wings were decent but the beer cheese was everything. Nice patio, would def go back. read more

Hello Monty is definitely a good stop for food and drinks. While the service was a bit slow on our two visits, they were also incredibly busy with the weekend brunch crowd. They offer a variety of seating, which is definitely nice. The only downside was the level of noise; it can be loud! read more

Food and service were excellent, Bloody Mary was garbage. We had a great time and experience on New Year's Day for a late lunch. For starters, the naan, Brussels sprouts and fried pickles were all good. The pork schnitzel sandwich was interesting and I'd definitely get it again. Two in our party had the collard green melt and loved it. We'd definitely go back to try the rest of the menu. Unfortunately, the Bloody Mary was one of the worst I've ever had and everyone else at the table agreed. Great ambiance and location! read more

Great food .. a+ beer (helles for me). Server at bar was amazing at keeping all our orders in her head with a busy crowd. Owner brewmaster was really interesting and knowledgeable. We came back the next day and ordered all the same dishes.Sat outside and again got great service and a+ food again. Highly recommended. read more

My partner and I wanted to try somewhere we hadn't been before. We walked in and the atmosphere was beautiful.. We had a reservation for 2 @ 6 pm. We were greeted with a warm smile and sat right away. The server came by right away. She pointed to the specials sheet and navigated the menu for us. She included what she was out of as well. I had the ribeye and my partner had the Mahi on the special menu. We ended it off with a brownie and coffee...good food good service... read more

Wow!! Stayed on the Southside and was looking for a place to eat after a tiring few days doing a trade show at the convention center. I stumbled upon this restaurant and I couldn't be happier.

We came with a part of 6. We had a reservation at 5:00. They sat us at a small table which was ok but not the best. Our food was good. Our waiter was good. However, at 7:15 when we just finished dessert and got our last drink, the manager (i assume she was because she was wearing a different outfit than the servers) cane to our table and asked us to move because "there has been a party waiting outside for 15 mins in the cold" what??! We spent almost $400 in there and they asked us to move? We were really upset. Our waiter was too because we had just asked if it was ok if we stayed and had another drink. I'm not sure if we will be back because of this, but the food was good! read more

This restaurant would get 4/5 (see review below); however, they get 3/5 because they push the payment of the employees onto us in the forms of tips. I would rather them increase the price of food and use that money to pay their servers, hosts, and other staff a salary, provide insurance, and offer stability so that the staff don't have to rely on tipping. They would know what they are bringing home, and can plan for their life and bills and not live paycheck to paycheck. We all know this business makes plenty of money at the top. It's time they start paying their workers who make the place run. read more

I was so excited to hear chef Rebecca had a new venture, this place didn't disappoint! The middlins we're actually my favorite with the miso butter, I could probably eat a whole bucket. Service was great and the overall feel was fresh and light. I spoke with the bartender who said there was plans to have beer brewing vats installed, definitely will be back to explore that! read more

Great place for dinner and brunch. Great beer and wine selections and really outstanding Old Fashioned! Food was great across the board but what really stood out for me is all the vegetables, like Brussels sprouts, carrots, and other sides. I'm a meat eater but if I were a vegetarian I would be eating here every day. They have an outdoor bar that really needs to get opened more often. read more

Great food and beer and service! The outside seating is also nice. We enjoyed everything we had. read more

Atmosphere and service were great, our waitress Kylen (hope I spelled that right, was funny and welcoming and delightful). The food was just ok. We ordered two appetizers the chicken skewers and the ham and cheese fritters. I enjoyed the chicken it was well cooked and well seasoned. The fritters were burned, they were over fried. The flavor on the inside was pretty good though. We also ordered the pork tenderloin and the roasted potatoes. The potatoes were probably the best part about the meal the were finger potatoes and cooked and seasoned perfectly. The tenderloin although cooked nicely had a not so appetizing glaze on it. The food was over priced for its mediocrity. All in all we will probably only be back for drinks. read more

Very nice restaurant- great ambiance. Went with my family and had Amelia as a server. I have celiac (can't have gluten) and she was so knowledgeable about the menu and cross contamination. The chef was also very knowledgeable about gluten and the potential for cross contamination. We got the red snapper (delicious!) and my family had the pork tenderloin, shrimp skewers, and broccolini. We also had an app of brussel sprouts that were delicious. Will definitely be back!! read more
