    Oh my gosh, yes! I would totally recommend this place. The interior is just wonky and a lot of fun…read more We had a great server, she kept our drinks full and we were happy. The food was great. And the funny thing I have to say is that finding some of the best nachos all the way in Tennessee was a total shocker! Part of it is just because they take this large sheet pan and spread the chips out over it so every chip has a topping. You're not left with a giant pile of chips that are totally naked in the middle of your pile of nachos. But I have to add to that that I got brisket nachos, the brisket was really wonderful, it was just savory and tender. The barbecue sauce is on the table were wonderful I'm just about anything. They have these great couch seating areas in the middle that were so much fun and just perfect for a family. And if you have even room for one bite, get one of their turnovers! Apple and blueberry turnovers are excellent! The cherry was not as good, but the pastry is divine. But it is super light and flaky and everything you could ask for in a baked treat.

Absolutely delicious!!! The chicken was so moist and all the flavors blended together well. I also had a side salad which was wonderful. The service was outstanding! Every one on one team working together to insure that you have a great experience. And the interior is out of this world!! So much to look at and so many really neat one of a kind pieces of recycled art. Loved it and can't wait for our next trip back there!!

Smash Boyz had a tent set up and we're serving food. I wouldn't be surprised if they have bands occasionally. We sat on the patio cause we had our pup with us. The bartender gave her a doggy treat. The patio has a big disco ball and stools. There is a projector that plays movies on the big white wall across from the patio. BMX bandits, one of Nicole Kidmans first movies was playing when we were there. There is a full bar and plenty of canned options such as long drink. We had Tito's and sodas for $8!

We weren't disappointed. Exile Off Main Street is undoubtedly a great spot if you enjoy local craft beer, a lovely outdoor patio area, with down-home vibes, no pretense, and you can come as you are. From our Airbnb (above the Fountainhead Taproom), we walked all of a block to Exile Off Main Street. With COVID-19 forcing only outdoor seating, we had our pick of the litter with patio and wooden tables with patio furniture to chill with brews. The gentleman behind the window was very nice and quickly took our order on various cans of beer and cider we enjoyed. We sat there at our table for a couple of hours, enjoying the music coming from the outside speakers. A few people were seated scattered amongst the spacious patio as we enjoyed the beers. I enjoyed cans of The Promenade American IPA by Hutton & Smith Brewing and Keypunch Sour Gose by Urban Artifact. Both were solid beers perfect for the summer temperatures and energy on this particular July evening. Exile Off Main Street is highly recommended for those who like good craft beer and vibes if you're not looking to hang off of Market Street in downtown Chattanooga.

I am pretty easy going as a guest…read morein any establishment, but having been in the food industry for the entirety of my career, I am sure to be extra forgiving. That being said, I ran into a couple things here that I just found unacceptable. It was a hot day today, almost 100 degrees not considering the heat index. My fiancé, 6 month old son and myself were very excited to come inside and cool off with a cold drink and some air conditioning. We were sat in a lounge with no fans or AC whatsoever and my son and I started sweating within minutes. Not the end of the world but it did put a damper on the overall atmosphere and experience. It took a while for us to be greeted by our server who was kind. We placed our drink orders and got that back pretty quickly, then we placed our appetizer order. It took almost 15 minutes after placing our appetizer order before we saw our server again. Mind you, it was busy and noticeably understaffed. We got the cheese curds and over half of them were completely empty ! The selling point on the menu is that you receive a "half pound of cheese curds". This was not the case. My son was eating and entertained so we weren't too chuffed about it. We placed our food order and it was about 45 minutes until our food came out. I noticed after placing our food order with our server, she made rounds around the restaurant before putting our food in. As a server myself, that's just not the order of operations. Putting in a ticket takes less than 2 minutes. Put the food in and then make your rounds to check on everyone. Not quite unacceptable, but we were hungry, have a young baby and we wanted out of the heat badly. When my food came out I was worried about how everything looked. I ordered a blackened catfish plate and my fiancé had a blackened shrimp po boy. My catfish was not blackened but it had a noticeable layer of seasoning on it. I would say 1-3 cm of just seasoning on top of my fish with no char/blackening. It literally sloughed off of the fish. I pecked at the sides which I was not impressed with. Fries were unique but not crisp enough, and the slaw tasted like it was made with apple juice. Once I took a bite of my catfish I couldn't help but make a face. My fiancé was genuinely shocked because I am NOT picky. I'll eat just about anything. I scraped some of the slimy layer of seasoning off and gave it another bite and was equally put off. Last bite I took was with the "house remoulade" and I audibly gagged. Never in my adult life have I done that ! Super embarrassed and I knew I couldn't force myself through the plate. I had to wait another 30 minutes before our server checked in and I had to tell her I was grossed out and could not eat my food. She apologized and gladly comped the item off our ticket, which I appreciated. She asked if they could make something else for me, and I politely declined saying the baby is tired and we're all hot and ready to go. She brought the ticket to me and I immediately gave her my card. I watched her go outside, to the bar, and around the dining room with my check/card. She returned other tables checks before mine while she had collected them after mine. It made no sense to me, and I was getting fed up at this point as I was sweating bullets and the baby was melting down. While the po boy looked nice and was loaded up with shrimp, we were a little disappointed that it didn't come with a side considering the $17 price tag. He tried a piece of shrimp by itself and almost spit it out. He gave the whole sandwich a try and said it worked better with everything all together. This is obviously a place locals enjoy and I can tell many people have enjoyed their experiences here ! I wanted to share mine so people could be prepared for the possibility of understaffing and to avoid the blackened fish/seafood.

So on my first mainland trip in a couple years, I have been trying different burger shops. Jack Brown's had really high reviews, had a super fun vibe, and a really creative menu, which I love. Service was on point. Let's get the elephant out of the room right now - the size. lol I was prepared for a small burger from all the reviews, but, Shake Shack has a small burger, Jack-in-the-Box has a small burger. It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight and the dog. But I ain't gonna lie, that is one tiny burger! It's like...five bites? One for each corner, and then the middle. lol They might be better off coring the middle, and marketing them as hamburger donuts. The easy fix is just order an extra patty for a few bucks more. Same as Shake Shack. The other thing I have a problem with is the, "we don't do lettuce or tomato..." line. Sorry, that's like a pizza with no toppings. Really, it just sounds like they found a way to reduce overhead by not having to prep and pay for vegetables. But whatever... if great burgers can be made without lettuce and tomato, and without a big patty...let's get it on. I'm sorry, but that patty was charbroiled to the point of no juice. This is where a tomato might help with moisture. lol I don't see how this is actually Wagyu. A Wagyu burger should be melting in my mouth. I don't know what happened, but it reminded me of my first job at Burger King, running whoppers through the flame broil conveyor belt. If you got one that just came out, you scored big time. But if you got one that just sat in the warmer for 10 minutes, you got a dry burger. It was a very disappointing burger. Then again, I just had a Shake Shack burger yesterday, and it was nomnom greasy goodness. Of course I was going to be disappointed. It's like Ozzy Osbourne following up Slipknot as the opening act. The fries were great. They came in a huge basket, and the price was very reasonable.
