We were briefly in Chattanooga and staying at the Hampton Inn across the street. We decided to stop in for lunch, what a great decision. We all throughly enjoyed our meals. I had the Blackened Fish tacos which were delicious with the sauce and slaw. My husband had the Rib Eye Cheesesteak with a side of fried Okra. He said it was delicious. My daughter had the Gouda burger and she said it was really good. They both enjoyed the onion rings which they said were nice and crispy. I had a margarita and my daughter had the strawberry lemonade with vodka, the drinks were also great. Plus, our server Hudson, was very attentive. If I were in town I would definitely stop here again. read more

Mike's tavern has a incredible house salad! Their side salad is packed full of delicious ingredients and is an absolutely great deal for under 8.00$$! Lettuce, bacon, cheese, tomatoes, red onions, and croutons . And the blue cheese dressing is delicious. The service is excellent, consistently fast and friendly. And the restaurant is cute and clean with indoor and outdoor dining. read more

For every restaurant, it always comes down to the food and Mike's is no exception. But nothing to fear here, they do brunch so well and I keep coming back. My go to is the steak and eggs, carnivore style. And I always ask for a side of bacon. Everything is so perfect and if you ask for medium, they give you medium. If you ask for medium rare they give you medium rare. Great kitchen crew. Our waitress this last time, but every single time has been flawless in their service. Drinks on the spot, refills when we need them, or even a little bit before. The service is great, from the greeting desk, to the wait staff, and even at our departure. Top notch! Even ask us if we want drinks to go. When you go out to eat, be there for the experience, don't be an uptight butt hole, if someone makes a mistake, be gracious. Give them a chance to make it right. We've had minor bumps in the road at Mike's in the past, but it all worked out for the best because they really are focused on making your experience one that you you'll want to come back for. Oh yeah, and tip like you're not a cheapskate! If you've ever been a waiter or a waitress, you know how hard it is and if you haven't, then I'm telling you how hard it is! These people work hard for those tips, and if the service is good, let it show. If the service isn't good, then let them know. But again, don't be a butt hole. read more

Walked in on Sunday evening around 7 PM and was seated immediately. Joel, our server, took our drinks order within minutes of us sitting down at our booth. Joel was great. Very attentive and knowledgeable about menu items. Zana ordered the fish sandwich with Mike's Signature sauce and a fruit bowl side. I had the Tavern burger and side of cole slaw. Added an order of onion rings. Both sandwiches were delicious and well prepared. Sent onion rings back bc they arrived at less than room temperature. Joel immediately replaced them with another order that was slightly warmer. Rings were crisp and tasty but I wish they were served at a higher temperature. Even cool the breading on them wasn't greasy in taste or texture. We are only traveling thru Chattanooga on our trip south and Mike's was convenient to our hotel. We like trying out non-chain restaurants when we stay somewhere overnight. You can find a Chili's, TX Roadhouse, etc in almost every city so patronizing local establishments provides some variety while traveling. We would probably eat at Mike's Tavern again if we stop in the area. read more

Mike’s Tavern - Grilled Chicken Cobb Salad, great portion & very good! - New American Near Me - Chattanooga, Tennessee

I was seated fairly quickly. They weren't busy so I was happy to see how that went. Once I was seated, my service was quick and friendly. The restaurant is friendly and pleasant as well as seemingly clean. I ordered the crab cakes with no remoulade and the shrimp and grits. The first time the crab cakes came out they had the remoulade on them so they went back. Not a huge deal to me. When the crab cakes came back out they were delicious but served on diced slaw. Delicious but I scraped off the base of veg. The shrimp and grits had highs and lows. The shrimp was absolutely delicious. The pepper jack grits didn't taste like much. The adoullie sausage gravy was almost unnecessary because it didn't add much. Overall, the shrimp and grits was still very good. The food was good, the environment was very good, the service was excellent, and overall I would say it fell just short of a 5 star. read more

So full disclosure... I've been there before and loved it. But I went a few days ago and after leaving the establishment, 15 min later I threw up all over the inside of my car, pulled over and threw up more, and then spent the next 2 days in bed. They did refund my meal, I have no plans of going back. read more

I must admit I thought this 'tavern' would be the same mediocre American food place which is on practically every corner street in Hixson. Let me reassure you- it's not. This is one of the best restaurants I've had the pleasure to enjoy in quite some time. And if you luck up and happen to receive Hayden as your server, you will have an amazing experience! I was waffling between the choice of two entrees and sides, Hayden suggested I and my companion each order the entrees, but one with fries and one with onion rings -- outstanding! The onion rings literally will melt in your mouth. Literally. The burger was honestly the best I've had in YEARS. The entire experience was amazing - highly recommend this restaurant if you are in Hixson and have a hankering for a delicious meal. read more

What a fun time with family! We asked for 10 seats and had 12 on Labor Day. They did not hesitate. We'll be back soon! Thank you! read more

Love this place!! Amazing food, BEST fish and chips I've ever had. Locally owned, I've never had a below excellent meal here! One of my favorite places to go eat! read more

Started with the jalapeño poppers. They were good super crisp on the outside and perfect blend of cheese but could have used more jalapeño. The dipping sauce with its hint of sweet was an excellent compliment. The brunch burger was good but a little bland. The onion rings were super crispy and perfect. The prices are very reasonable and all in all a great place to stop in.. read more

Mike's has without a doubt has the best Philly Cheese Ribeye Steak sandwich in the Hixson area. I've actually tried others so I could compare. And the parmesan fries are also awesome. Service is very good and the restaurant overall is great. . read more

Pleasantly surprised at the space inside. The food was great. The server was very sweet and helpful. I'd recommend it when you're in the area. read more

They make actual onion rings here at Mike's Tavern, and they are amazing. These are not "frozen onion rings" that came on a truck in bags. These days, I am very impressed with any restaurant actually chops up a vegetable. These onion rings were so good that I didn't even need the ranch dressing. I also had the impossible burger which was great, very filling. read more

Had a late meal at Mikes. There is plenty of seating and the accommodate large groups. It's a little loud inside but wait staff and food selections make up for the noise. read more

Yummy food! Never been disappointed. Food always tastes good. Never visited location just ordered through DoorDash

The chicken Cobb salad is a beast! Plenty enough for two, and then you can try an app or two. I had the fish and chips which are delicious and perfectly fried. The sausage and cheese plate was very good. It had pimento cheese and pickles to accompany the rich sausage. We finished with the bread pudding. The bread pudding was a little more dense than necessary, which made getting all the notes of the spices more difficult. The berries definitely helped to add a brightness and freshness to the dessert. Our server, Amanda knew exactly when to check on us, and did an exceptional job. She's very knowledgeable about the food and will guide you wonderfully if you're trying to decide between a couple of items. The restaurant is always extremely clean, and well kept. If you're in Hixson, this should be a staple for you and your friends. read more

Good service and ambiance always on point ! Shrimp and grits are the best. Crowded at certain times but well worth the wait

This is a hidden gem. Living in Hixson for a number of years, It surprised me to see this place pop into my suggestion list and I'd never heard of it. I'm so sorry for the years I've already missed not eating here, but I am working hard to make up for lost time. As many who read my reviews know, any place that has shrimp and grits on the menu is immediately going to get my attention. It's the first dish I try when available and Mike's Tavern is no slouch in the running for best dish in this category. Amazing. Enough said. But I'd be remiss if I stopped there. We've returned a number of times already since the first visit and I'm trying to work my way through the menu. Try as I might to be disappointed, so far Mike's hasn't let me down. Every dish, every visit is just wonderful. Service is always great and with a smile. On one occasion we had a slight hiccup with an entree and it was remedied immediately and without hesitation and of course, with sincere apologies and a smile. If you want great comfortable food in a pleasant atmosphere with good people this is the destination for your next meal. read more

Ok I'm going to be honest and say that Mike's was nothing like I expected. That's not a bad thing! I was expecting kind of dive bar....please don't ask me why as I have no logical explanation . And no it's not a dive They were rather busy and asked if I minded sitting at the bar. Of course not. The bartender Judy was a hoot! She had all these fancy drinks she was having to make before me. She apologized and I said no worries I'm in no rush. Drinks were great and food was awesome. read more

Took my son and his girlfriend to brunch while he was home. This one is difficult to review because the drinks and service were good, the food was so disappointing. My son had a Mimosa and I had a bloody Mary I had to make myself, I asked if they could make it (I've never made one) but the server said no (in a polite and friendly way!) My son took a stab at it and it was good. I ordered the Classic Tavern Dip which on paper, appeared to have tons of flavor. Unfortunately, not only was it lackluster but the chips were not good. Everyone took a bite and that was it. No one wanted to take the leftovers home. A wasted $12. Then my Crab Benny and my son's chicken and waffles arrived. He said his chicken was just ok and should have just gotten the regular syrup because the buffalo syrup was funky. My crab cake was pretty good but didn't stand out against the hollandaise sauce. The offender on this dish was the cold, chewy, fries. The garlic Parmesan "coating" cannot save poorly executed fries - or even fries that have been sitting too long. My dessert loving son didn't even want dessert due to the previous courses - now that is serious. It was a rare instance where no one wanted to take home leftovers. Parking during Sunday brunch is a nightmare - if you go, go early or have someone drop you off! read more

Went here with my aunt and uncle during their visit. I can't really say anything bad about the place. It was very crowded, the service was 50/50 and I only say this because we started off outside and some bees decided to attack us and we moved indoors and the waitress didn't seem to like it, I assume because less tip? Due to getting a different waitress inside? Other than that? It's your typical millers aile house or whatever type food read more

Great service and food. Easy to find for out-of-towners and appears to be popular with the locals. Clean and spacious accommodations.

Great food Love the burger with onion rings My daughter had the club sandwich sans tomato read more

We often hit this place about once every 2-3 months. The food and service are spectacular compared to the other Rt. 153 Hixon restaurants we tend to frequent, Aubrey's, Millers, First Watch, Road House, etc. The atmosphere is exceptionally "new" and just doesn't feel at all like a tavern, hence the 4 out of 5 stars, this place is really good but not perfect. I feel like they could step up their game a little with a nicer bar, and a bigger top shelf whisky selection perhaps some upgraded furnishing's (Brass, Dark woods, Red or Blue Leather bar stools) stuff like. My two cents, if you haven't been, GO, you will not be disappointed by the food or the service, but this just doesn't feel like a tavern to me. read more

No surprise here, as other patrons have said it's yummy food, spacious but unfortunately... hidden! Literally behind the front bldg closest to 153. It's housed in the far left space of the 'square'. Parking was packed on a Saturday. I had Southwest egg rolls...perfectly sublime w/ just salsa (a substitute for the dishes' hot sauce) and had a sample of their chili..me & my bestie agreed it needed just a little more garlic, but I really liked the marinated slightly Smokey flavor I detected. Yummers! One star off for the un-cushioned wood chairs We look forward to returning! read more

Excellent food, atmosphere and service from Kirsten on a Sunday afternoon. What could be nicer than treating my beautiful daughter to lunch, as we took a break from shopping? NOTHING! The atmosphere is Minimalist Industrial Modern in dark grey hues, mixed with bright colors. Booths line the perimeter of the dining room, plus 4-top tables are clustered in the middle. At the opposite side, divided by wood blinds, is the large, horseshoe-shaped bar. Kirsten was our experienced, excellent and attentive server. From her initial contact with us until she closed out our bill as well as brought leftover containers, she cheerfully provided helpful suggestions from the menu favorites while being friendly and professional. While we perused the menu, Kirsten brought our delicious sweet tea drinks and was on top of keeping them filled. Kirsten was available without being overbearing. We obtained the password to their free WiFi and alternately were taking pictures while we watched sports on the TVs scattered throughout. When our food arrived 10-15 minutes later, it looked phenomenal. It was obvious that each dish was made-to-order. And steaming hot. I had the delightfully tender and juicy Blackened Mahi-mahi Sandwich, which was dressed with the most wonderful homemade remoulade sauce, shredded lettuce, red ripe tomato and red onion. The 'side' I chose was coleslaw, which was a fairly large amount, chopped finely and tasted so fresh. It was some of the best coleslaw I've had. I finished my plate. My daughter chose one of her favorites: Fish and Chips. I didn't try them, but they looked just as phenomenal as my dish. She got 5 Atlantic Cod filets, along with French fries and mashed potatoes. She did a review on her experience, calling them some of the best Fish and Chips she's had. This 'tavern' is now one of my favorites for the many reasons listed above. Plus, it's one of the few restaurants now open to 75% capacity. Everything is clean clean clean. Color me impressed! read more
