Lo Main in Chattanooga, TN, brings a unique Chicago vibes scene to the Chattanooga area. You do need to remember "No Fries & No Ketchup". Don't even ask because there is no ketchup in sight and they don't serve any fried foods. The Monster Burger is where it's at. Just reading off the ingredients will make your mouth water. 2 smashed beef patties, American cheese, diced onions, lettuce, Garam Masala aioli, chipotle cream on a Brioche bun. P.S. I also grabbed a bag of Baked Lays. Even on a Sunday afternoon they were packed. The ordering is easy right at the bar and the food comes out quickly. Lo Main captures the spirit of a Chicago bar while delivering a solid hamburger and food that satisfies all your cravings. read more

Great food and atmosphere! The Chicago vibe is heavy! The mustache behind the bar was quite a character. Murder burger awesome, pimento dog was a surprise hit, good cocktails and cold beer. Love the record store next-door. read more

Lo Main - Murder burger and pimento dog - Speakeasies Near Me - Chattanooga, Tennessee

We went to this place because it has the "best" smash burger in Chattanooga. Culver has better burgers. Heck you can get a better burger in the same block of Main ST. If you are in your 20's and support left wing nuts this is your place. If you like over priced canned beer you will love this place. I would take a whopper anyday over this over priced needs a good cleaning place. read more

Eccentric vibes, local favorite. We tried this spot after seeing several TikTok videos on the Murder Burger. We ordered 2 burgers, chips and a couple Cokes. It is counter service to order. The food came out fast and the burger was worth the trip there. Very flavorful and juicy and even had a hint of a sweet taste. Solid burger 9/10 read more

Quirky place in a converted house in the expanding transitional Main Street area. They have a limited menu with Neo-traditional or "elevated classics". For example a cheeseburger is presented as they make it, without an interest in how you want it, particularly if you are a ketchup person. In fact there is a sign at the bar where you order your food that warns you they offer no ketchup or French fries, nor will they ever. The burger did however have a house special sauce that had the very slightest hint of curry which if I had known ahead of time, would have not ordered but having experienced it left me glad I did. It was a really great burger and the "secret sauce" made it so. The only tangible disappointment was their limited menu and lack of fries. How can you serve a burger without fries with ketchup .. on the side ? read more

We saw a positive review, so we decided to try it. The food was pretty good. The problem was the customer service both times we went there. The staff acted as if the customers were bothering them. It wasn't just us but other customers that were there as well. read more

Stopped in for a quick bite since it was close to the Airbnb and seemed people raved about this place. "The burger , the burger, the burger" So I decide to take their word and of course get the burger. Sounds tasty and full of flavor. Sounds...... I didn't get any of the onion, garam masala aioli , or pepper crema. The burger was hot and cheese was melted but that's almost the end of it. Burger was extremely bland and lacking in any of the flavors described on the menu. Not being local maybe this is the best in Chattanooga but in general it absolutely missed the mark on flavor and wouldn't be ranked on the scale at all with out major seasoning and adjustments. Also Got the arroz con elotes which is not elotes at all. It's Indian rice with corn. And oddly enough it's where all the salt went. Not a drop in the burger but so much on the elotes you couldn't take more than 1 bite. Far cry saying this place serves good food read more

Murder Burger? Check! Had to try this after all of the hype I've heard. I LOVED the physical dining room (kinda hard to describe, but very weird and cool). The guy who took our order did a great job with a quick overview and rules (don't ask for ketchup!) and was quick on the cold beers (winner, winner, murder burger dinner!). While I enjoyed the visit, not sure I need another one of those niche burgers right away, but I wanted to try other menu items, and take some friends by to try it. Given that, I'll be back. It's a must try! read more

On the south side of Main street in Chattanooga we had to go and try the infamous murder burger. This is a smaller restaurant with a comfy atmosphere. The staff was friendly and courteous. Now for the Murder Burger. Wow and wow. This is a smash burger on a brioce bun and a wonderful sauce inside, maybe one of the best burgers I have had. Come and try this soon. oh don't ask for ketchup lol! read more

Back again and the Stallonie was just as good as the first time. Had to try the Kimchi Fried Rice with Egg and it was amazing, too. Incredible flavors from this cool little hangout! read more

Do you like old school can beers and great food? This little neighborhood spot is perfect for a mello spot to grab a drink and a bite. It's small inside so big groups might be tough but since it's in our new neighborhood, we'll be here a lot! Friendly bartender - don't worry about that! read more

This is such a great place!! The staff is so friendly. Of course we had to try the murder burger. It is definitely worth the hype! We also got the Thai chili dog. Delicious! If you are thinking about going don't wait!!! read more

One of my favorite lunch date spots with my wife. Really unique flavors like the garam masala burger. The staff is always super friendly and accommodating read more

I've been wanting to try this place for their widely talked about "murder burger". It was absolutely amazing amazing! Perfect in every respect. The smash patties were perfectly browned on the edges. The bread was soft. And the toppings were wonderful. If you don't like Indian food, it might be too much for you, but I kind of doubt it. I ordered it just the way they make it With a masala aïoli and red pepper creama along with onions and I think a little shredded lettuce and cheese. I was a little concerned sauces, might be overwhelming, but it wasn't. It was perfect. Will definitely be ordering one again. I ordered it to go and drove almost 20 minutes home before we ate it and it was still warm and delicious ( granted I got there right as it was coming out and put it in an insulated bag- maybe I should drive for Uber eats or DoorDash.) . The service when I picked it up and ordering on the phone was very friendly and accommodating. read more

Man, that burger. It's worth any negative you have to endure to go have it! Like, no fries (this would put the entire experience in another realm) and the poor attitude of the person behind the counter. Eclectic vibe with a special burger, go give it a try! Dont miss the Arroz con Elote as well, very good. read more

He Said: A sorta dive bar, completely awesome bar. We got a recommendation from a local bartender and she was so right. I had a Chicago handshake to kick things off and a burger to wash it down. Lo Main has it all with a great staff, amazing menu, simple and effective drinks menu, and a perfect vibe. We now know our favorite bar in Chattanooga and, clearly, Tennessee. She Said: As he noted, we love this place. The murder burger was part of the appeal, and it didn't disappoint after lots of drinking and live music the night before. I couldn't do the Chicago handshake, and was happy to see Zombie Dust available. Now we need to come back so I can have a Bloody Mary and try some of the other yummy sounding things on the menu. Don't miss on the record store next door either. Potty points: 4/5 Cleaner than the vibe would suggest, no wait, gets the job done. read more

The 'Murder Burger' is where it's at !!! Cozy atmosphere, small, quaint, in the revitalized Main Street area. If you haven't , you need too.

What a great place, total neighborhood bar vibe! The Stallone sandwich just became my new favorite in Chattanooga. 10/10!

Pretty good divey bar place. The burger was good, had a cool little vibe and good service. It's pretty small but I liked the visit and will be back read more

Amazing burger! Super cool atmosphere. Not a lot of indoor seating but totally worth the trip. Excellent service.

I had to go back! This time I tried Arroz con Elote. While it doesn't taste like the authentic dish this is still absolutely delicious in its own way! Exactly what to expect at lo main. I also discovered they served Malort! And as a Chicagoan, I definitely recommend order and trying that shot read more

This place gets pretty crowded because it is loved by the neighborhood usuals as well as the people further away. That being said, the wait for a spot to sit and a Murder Burger is worth it. Find a seat at the bar if you can, grab a can of somewhat-obscure domestic beer or an interesting handshake, snack on some Indian-inspired chips, and try not to salivate too hard while waiting on the burger. I know there are other things on the menu, but we can't stop thinking about the burger. I thought it was over-hyped, but I'm glad I was wrong. I may be drooling while writing this. read more

I don't hear much about lo main, but was excited to check it out since it was right by a concert at Barking Legs Theater. I fell in love as soon as we walked in, the dark grunge with with weird 80s movies playing was very charming and a great change up to the usual Chattanooga scene. The place was packed, but we were served our drinks quickly and the burger was a solid burger with great flavors. I'll definitely be back. read more

swear on my momma Ive never had something like that damn burger the vibes were good a little hot but it's summer lmao but damn I've never given anything a review but this burger is damn worth a try read more

If I was rating this place as a bar it would probably be higher and if that's what you're looking for then disregard this review. Like a lot of people I saw the TikTok video about how this place had the best burger in Chattanooga so I stopped by. First of all my living room is bigger than the dining area and I'm not rich. It was a total bar scene and after 6 you have to be 21. They don't open until 5 so that was weird. Not many choices for drinks if you don't drink alcohol and the few options are served in a can and very overpriced. You order at the counter and the food is brought to your table so service is what it is. Now, as far as the food...it's ok. I've had better burgers, a lot of them. It's good not great. Also be prepared to just have a burger, there's no fries. How can you have burgers with no fries! All in all if you're looking for a place to have a drink and are a little hungry this place is good. Not my kinda place so I definitely won't be back. read more

Service is horrible! The workers act like you are inconveniencing them when you order

Still one of my favorite spots. The murder burger is the best by far, the ambiance is really friggen cool, and Jen & Graham always make me feel welcome every time I visit! I am a bit of a tomboy so having a shorts and tee shirt kinda vibe with really epic food and great service is the way to go. I usually sit at the bar and if they're not busy- they always find ways to strike up and conversation or talk to me about what's new in their world. I really appreciate them and enjoy the true "small town chill vibe" LoMain gives off! Ty for being a great Sunday night hang out and crushing on your eclectic food menu! read more

The burger was pretty good even though I'm not a smash burger girl. I thoroughly enjoyed the fried rice I got though. That was the star to me. So 5 stars for that and 4 for the burger. 4 for overall everything else! read more

Overhead someone talking about this place....so I had to see for myself. 5:30 on a Saturday and the place was at 90% capacity. Parking lot full : good sign. Divey for certain but charming as well. A really old house with a lot of original woodwork and windows. Made me wonder about the families that lived here before it was turned into a bar. In an up and coming part of Chattanooga a definite plus for the area. Excellent bartender: fast and courteous. We didn't eat but man the food coming out looked and smelled delicious. We will be back for the burgers! read more

I'm about to propose to whoever is in the kitchen that's the best burger I've ever had in my life. The shishito peppers. The masala chips. Chef's kiss. Tongue, no tongue, your choice. May you live long and prosper. Hot damn. Two middle fingers up Rihanna style like eff you byotch go 'head. I can barely hold myself together. Get your a$$ here. Hole in the wall best damn food. Michelin star this shit now. read more

What the heck is masala Mayo?! Never heard of it but now I'm going to put that in every burger I have from here on out! Cool divey spot and dont pass on the orange wine, it's the best one I've had in a while! read more

Dive. Chicago style Speakeasy joint in a semi rough part of town. Had the Monster Burger. It was ok at best. Two well seasoned smashed patties in a plain white bun. Wrapped in paper. 5:30 and only people In the place. Limited menu and beer selection. However had Old Style lager which is not seen much out of the Chicago area let alone Chattanooga TN Service was ok. Sat at the bar. Bartender did not make any effort at conversation. read more

Great patio, unique decor, small bar. Fun neighborhood bar to go to. I enjoy the fact they have a limited menu and I haven't eaten off it yet but they have some chips for snacks that always pair well with a beer. I recommend heading there to enjoy a drink in the sunshine on the patio, and challenge yourself to do a shot of Malörts. read more

Food is alright, but the people who work here are awful. Just downright unwelcoming and rude. This place is always empty and then they make you feel bad for being a customer. read more
