What an amazing find in Chattanooga! We stopped in for a Sunday breakfast and were so excited for everything they had to offer. The bagel sandwiches are 5 . Tater tots are amazing. French toast is special. I wish we had had room for their chicken. Our server was super nice and helped us decide on our meal. The atmosphere is casual but with the open kitchen, we had fun watching them prep the food. We will definitely stop in again on our next visit and try more. read more

Based on all the positive reviews of this establishment, I think it must just be an acquired taste I haven't acquired. First (and only) visit this weekend and I found the food odd. I guess I'm a NY bagel guy. The "Montreal style" bagels served here are thin, chewy, and slightly sweet. They remind me of unsalted soft pretzels. The tater tots look and taste like something out of the Alien franchise. Almost like crab-legged hush puppies. And their only soda offerings are Coke and Diet Coke so I settled on OJ. Maybe a blessing in disguise since it was a healthier option. Only two gender-neutral bathrooms so prepare for a wait. There was a line the entire time we were there. read more

Since spending more time in my hometown, my Mom wanted to treat me last weekend to one of the newer restaurants in the happenin Southside neighborhood - Honey Seed. And what a treat it is! The outdoor seating Sunday night dinner atmosphere is calm and content. String lights strung throughout large wooden beams overhead. Tables spread out. Decent seating. Not crowded. The wait staff appears friendly and attentive. But the food and beverage experience is what's most memorable - absolutely uniquely delicious and making everyone want more. To start, we ordered espresso martinis. Honey Seed served up a perfect blend of liquor, coffee, and cream. And a strong one! For an appetizer, we enjoyed the biggest and one of a kind shaped tator tots possibly in existence. The middle of each tasted like if a potato latke and a piece of cornbread got mashed up together. And the outsides look like fried onion strings. Best tator tots ever had. For our entrees, we decided to create a pizza combo, half bbq chicken and half burrata. Each so tasty! The bbq chicken side had caramelized onions and cilantro complimenting roasted chicken and the right amount of bbq drizzle. The burrata side had roasted garlic, spicy Calabrian peppers, fresh mozzarella, and the signature honey seed crust. We had leftovers and I plan to treat as many friends as possible to this local gem! read more

We came here on two separate occasions during our 4-day trip in Chattanooga based on its convenient proximity to our AirBnB. The first time we came for a late lunch. I got the Chicken BLTA Panini, my partner got the Turkey Brie Panini, and we split an order of their Tater Tots, as recommended by our waiter. My CBLTA was okay and my partner really liked his Turkey Brie Panini (I liked it too), and we both really liked the Tater Tots. Our second time we came for a late breakfast. Funny enough, we had the same waiter - he was great. This time I got the Turkey Brie Panini and an order of the Tater Tots. I was very happy this time around. I would definitely recommend the Turkey Brie Panini - especially because it keeps well - I didn't finish mine and had the other half as a snack later. Not necessarily a spot to go out of your way for but a really great spot if it's close by. read more

This spot was pretty good. Good for a quick, casual breakfast or brunch. The bagels are Montreal style, so they are thin, but chewy and have a split sweet taste to them. I liked it, but wish the bagel was a bit bigger. Regardless, it was super tasty and would recommend trying! read more

Chef Eric came to the table and we had no choice but to compliment him y'all this chicken is next level and you were talking to somebody who's went to France Italy. I've traveled the world eating and I'm telling you right now this chicken is probably some of the best chicken I've ever had in my life you gotta come here. read more

This was on my list to try when visiting Chattanooga, so we decided to stop in for bagels. One thing I learned on this trip is that I do not like Montreal bagels. I wouldn't mind paying $5 for a bagel with cream cheese if it was delicious, but what I got here was worth $1 maybe. I can't speak to dining in or their other menu items. The restaurant looked really cute and the employee who helped us was very nice. But we were sooo disappointed in the bagels, especially with the cost. read more

For starters this place is always packed! It's so fun; they have live music some days from local artists, amazing drinks, and a banging menu! I recommend the chicken and waffles or French Toast. You won't regret it especially when you get the amazing syrup that comes with it. Try out an Espresso Martini and feel yourself melt with coffee decadence. Truly an amazing breakfast, lunch, and dinner place. read more

I've been here three times and the food always tasted good. The first time I went I had the smoked salmon bagel, and it was amazing! If you're not a fan of fishy tastes, that salmon was perfectly clear of that. The Nashville hot chicken pizza is also a must-try! Overall, the service and ambiance were friendly and inviting. Great brunch spot, just keep in mind pizzas get served after 12:00 PM read more

We visited for brunch before hitting the highway back to Memphis. Very quick wait times. Option for indoor or outdoor seating and we chose to sit on the patio. Be mindful as it does heat up fast in summer. The space is very casual and inviting. Baja Omelet was sooo delicious. The tots were not what I was expecting but I did enjoy them. I chose a mango aqua fresca and followed up with the raspberry aqua fresca for my refill. Both were pretty refreshing in the heat. Parking: filla quickly during when restaurant is busy. Service: quick and efficient Prices: reasonable read more

Wonderful experience. The pizza was ON POINT! Oh man, so good. Great service, ample seating, cool stuff to look at on the walls, fun & eclectic vibe. This was the perfect lunch to split between the 3 of us with a salad on the side for each. Can see it's definitely a trendy spot, but we were able to get right in. Definitely give it a try if you're in the area! read more

Honey Seed was a treat! They specialize in wood-fired pizzas and hand-rolled Montreal bagels. My husband and I stopped here for breakfast while visiting Chattanooga. We had eggs, and I ordered a plain bagel with honey jalapeño cream cheese while my husband had the jalapeño cheddar bagel with honey cream cheese. The food was really delicious and came out pretty quickly. The coffee was good as well. The service was friendly and efficient. The ambiance was casual and comfortable. There was ample seating to accommodate both small parties and large groups. I'd love to visit again to try their pizza. read more

This place is incredible! Very cute and hippie-styled with boho charm. Marie was a great server, so sweet and helpful. She was interested in talking to us for a minute about our journey here. The food was awesome. We tried so many of the menu items - Cinnamon Babka, Deviled Eggs, beignets, margerita pizza, lavender lemonade, tomato basil soup! It was all so good and not heavy or greasy at all. The flavors were amazing. Thank you for a wonderful meal on our way home to Indiana. read more

This place is a must in Chattanooga. The environment offers an inside and out feel. Great breakfast and lunch options, including an assortment of unique pizzas and bagel sandwich options. If nothing else, you must get the tater tots! We had to ask for another order after the first and some to go! Service is friendly and helpful, food takes a little longer to come out - but worth it! read more

We ate brunch here - food and service were top notch. We sat outside on a beautiful day. The challah French toast was amazing! Cinnamon honey latte was just the right balance of sweet with cinnamon on the froth to enjoy with every sip. Coffee was also very good. I also ordered a sesame bagel with the honey jalapeño cream cheese. SO good. The bagel was so fresh with a hint of sweet. The cream cheese is not spicy at all but had great flavor. We spoke to Robert (who I assume is manager or owner) and he was incredibly friendly and helpful as we ordered bagels to go. Will definitely be back and recommend to all! read more

Food was delicious ("Red Eye Burger"), however, parking was sadly non-existent (lot full). I ended up parking in the neighborhood behind the restaurant. Our waitress was kind, but evidently overbooked, as she never checked on us once. When it came time to checkout, she had preset the tip button for 20%. Hmmm. Nope, probably won't return. read more

Oh em gee did Honey Seed deliver! After a quick google/yelp search we found Honey Seed up the road from our AirBnB and were super thankful they were actually opened early on Sunday's. We had the option to make reservations, so we did, but there was no line when we arrived so the hostess sat us immediately. It smelled so fresh and all of the staff seemed happy to be there. It was a very chill, casual vibe in the restaurant and even though it was becoming 'brunch time' - the customers were all CHILL and not the crazy 'day-drinking' brunch type. Our waitress welcomed us with some waters and highlighted some favorites and listed off the specials then gave us a minute to process and decide. She came back after checking on another table and quickly rang our order in (They use Toast tabs). The beignet croissants came out so warm, fresh, and just melt in your mouth! They were so good (understatement) - then our mains came out: I had the chicken and waffles and my husband had a couple of their breakfast bagel sandwiches. We sat and ate in silence because it was just SO GOOD. We wish we discovered this gem sooner because we would have been there Every morning or afternoon. If we're ever in Chatts again - this will definitely be a spot we have to return to read more

Yall.... bout darn time somebody try to do something different that worked! I don't know how people pay $30 a plate for these brunch establishments! They only serve regular eggs bacon chicken and waffles and if they're really fancy, lamb chops! Boring boring boring! But no! Not Honey Seed! Kind of sucks because they're located all the way in Chattanooga! But I will be back! I'm going to tell you to make sure you order anything fried lol! The hush puppies, the beignets and the hash browns! I love their take on it! The steak even had seasoning! I know I ordered the salmon something dinner. But when that steak and eggs came out for my daughter, my urges could not resist! We end up exchanging plates lol! And when I tell you it was so worthy! She inhaled hers and I inhaled mine! One word. Delicious! We had the strawberry lemonade mint. It could use a bit more mint. But who cares! That food was so freaking good I cleared my entire plate! I wasn't even that hungry because I thought this was going to be another boring brunch spot. Hence, I ate before we drove down! This will be my new breakfast spot! To all you other breakfast spots, learn from them and do better! Otherwise y'all are no different from a glorified Waffle house! Honey Seed. Thanks for taking the time to make a difference! This food was clearly what I needed! Even though I wasn't hungry and I didn't care! You will be seeing my face again! No pictures were taken because I was busy eating! read more

This is my daily go place to grab lunch. Options are excellent, you can get chicken and waffles, big salad with salmon or chicken, pizza (all are good), bagels (all are amazing). The service is always great and they have good options inside, for example you can sit at the bar for a quick meal, or outside especially if the weather is great. This place is a 10 out of 10 for me. Love it! Note: try the cold vanilla late read more

We were visiting Chattanooga and did a bit of research to decide where to eat breakfast on Saturday morning. Since we are unfamiliar with the area we wanted to play it safe and did make a reservation through Open Table for 10:15am for a party of 4. Parking is somewhat limited within the parking lot, but we did find a parking spot close by. They were busy when we arrived and we checked in at the hostess stand and were immediately seated in the main area. They also have covered seating in front of the building which appears to have both open air capability and heaters in the cooler weather. We were provided menus and our drink orders were taken. The server checked in with us and when we asked for her recommendations she was slightly curt and very generic in her response. We went ahead and placed our orders, three of us ordered breakfast sandwiches and one of us ordered chicken and waffles. We also ordered a side of the tater tots and thick-cut bacon. The interior space is cool and comfortable and feels like a great fit for the neighborhood. Our breakfast arrived in a timely manner and looked yummy. Our friend began to eat her chicken and waffles and said the waffle was not even warm, ugh. We did bring it to our servers attention and she said she would get it replaced quickly. Someone did come within a couple of minutes with a new plate of chicken and waffles which was appreciated. Our breakfast sandwiches were good but not incredible in our opinion. We also noticed our bacon did not get delivered so we let our server know that as well. Her initial response was to clarify that we wanted to order bacon until we repeated that we ordered bacon but never received it, which she acknowledged. Our favorite part of the meal, were the tater tots. They appear to be shredded hashbrowns, hand rolled into a ball and lightly fried, they were really incredible. Our bacon did get delivered but did not live up to the description of "thick-cut bacon" as described on their menu. We had a much higher expectation but this was just an okay experience. Overall this is not a place we would seek out again. Maybe we stopped in on an off day. read more

Seth was an amazing waiter, very attentive and personable. We usually reserve a table on open table just in case we hit a peak time...I have never ordered anything bad, this time...I decided to try the nashville hot chicken pizza.

The ambiance is just right, the mood pleasant. Love this place, thank you so much for all of your delicious food! read more

My first impression was greeted with a packed lot and full restaurant. However, for a Sunday afternoon they were very quick and efficient at securing a table for 4. Indoor and heated covered outdoor seating. The food and drinks were delicious with plenty of breakfast/brunch options. A large variety of sweet treats. My honey turkey bagel specifically was good for the price, however I wish I was able to taste the jalapeño in the cream more. Overall I'd love to come back and try something more popular like their breakfast pizzas! read more

Really cool space, but not my favorite bagels. I really wanted to like this place more because it's in a great location, has a cool ambiance, outdoor seating, and good service overall. However, I thought the bagels were too dense and lacked flavor. I loved my latte though! I think I'd come back to try their pizza or potentially something else on the menu (maybe their fried chicken & waffles??), just the bagels weren't my favorite style! read more

This is the second time going to Honeyseed. We went right after it opened for brunch and thought we would give it another try - primarily because they allow dogs on their patio. My husband and I split a pizza with pepperoni, sausage, green peppers and onions - and it was good. My favorite thing (not pictured) was the Salt Air Margarita! The servers were wonderful. The vibe is ok - nothing super special. We wouldn't run back here - but wouldn't be opposed to going back. read more

The ambiance of the restaurant seemed nice, didn't get a full look at it since we chose to sit outside. It was definitely hot out, they have fans on the patio but the table we sat at didn't receive much air. Unfortunately, we waited about 20 mins until we were greeted after being sat. I watched 3 servers come out to the patio, no one said anything. I watched a table who came after us, get service immediately.. So either there was a miscommunication somewhere or we were simply ignored. Service was good once we received it. My husband had the French Toast. I had the fried chicken, egg & cheese on a plain bagel. We had an order of tater tots, which were like a potato hushpuppy. We also had an order of the grits for our baby girl. Everything was great! Would definitely get it all again. Baby girl didn't eat all of the grits, of course.. so we had to finish them off. Overall, great restaurant.. We would go back. read more

I've been wanting to eat here for a while. So finally had a chance to get over for dinner during the week. I love the environment and the overall feel. The food was pretty ok, we had pizza. Nothing super over the top special, but good. I guess I prefer a thicker crust but that wasn't an option. However the pizza my lady friend ordered was missing multiple toppings. And what she did get was very skimpy, like it was the last off the cutting board. My toppings seemed more generous and in the amount I'd expect. Another negative? No root beer on the menu, so at least 1 point knocked off for that. In the end we got comp'd for the pizza (I asked). The waitress was really great though so I left her my tip. I figured it wasn't her fault the kitchen messed up the pizza. read more

Haylee was awesome! Provided amazing and attentive service as well as great insight into the local businesses (for us out of towners). My salmon Benedict was creamy and delicious. The chicken and waffles are a amazingly sized dish, my bottomless pit of a brother couldn't even finish the entire thing! The tater tots look like hush puppies but have the best crunch and flavor! Restaurant is likely sized and not too close to other tables, very bright and open venue. read more

Came here for breakfast on a whim, the service was amazing and the servers were so friendly.

Honey Seed - California wood fired pizza. - YUMMY - Bagels Near Me - Chattanooga, Tennessee

This is a very New Age-y place that has the option to just walk up to a table and order on one's phone; someone eventually walked by to check how I was doing, but these sorts of places are convenient but also impersonal. Who knows what the norm for restaurant service will be five years from now. They had a small parking lot, which was quite full during my time there on a busy weekend. I got a charcoal lemonade; I've never figured out why one puts charcoal in lemonade, but it seemed a very appropriate choice for a woodsy region of Tennessee where charcoal is actually made and it looks cool. More importantly, my food also looked cool, drawing a compliment from a passerby as I devoured it. Their taco salad (my second day in a row getting taco salad for breakfast, though thankfully this one was better than the last) had a variety of ingredients, with some sort of spiced chickpea "chorizo" as the highlight. It was presumably vegan, but I didn't regret skipping the French toast. The bagels certainly smelled good, but they were out of a lot of flavors and I was out of room. I'm guessing the quality is there. read more

I had an unexpected doctor's appointment downtown. Hadn't eaten breakfast. Heard about Honeyseed and was thinking,"I'm craving a lox bagel." So, decided to pop in and see if they had one. They had a smoked salmon bagel (granted, I know smoked salmon and lox are different). I've never been there before. Welp, it's $18. And, yes, I did buy it because I just really needed one. I have relatives that are salmon and crab fishermen in Alaska and sometimes I just need some if they can't send it to me. Well, womp womp. I mean, it's a cute place. I get why people love the atmosphere. It's definitely a place you bring tertiary relatives to impress them about a local Chattanooga brunch spot. I'd do it. For sure. Great atmosphere. The actual bagel was *chefs kiss*, but the way they built that bagel was bland as hell. The cucumber deleted all the flavor of everything else on it. Barely any capers, a few onions, good portion of salmon, but one sprig of dill. Granted, I got it to-go. Looked like they just threw it in the bag. I checked it in the parking lot before leaving. It was apparent they didn't care how it ended up since I wasn't staying and eating in the restaurant. It was disappointing. If I'm paying $18 for a bagel, whether or not it's to-go, at least act like you care about the food you're putting out. It was just meh. I'll just go to Brothers bagels or Niedlov's in the future, save the $8 and feel like there's some give a damn. read more
