I asked a friend for brunch recommendations and she suggested Sidetrack. So on our way out to run errands today, we made our first stop Sidetrack. Inconspicuously situated on Hixson Pike, the restaurant is on my way home from work, but I'd never stopped. Now I regret we waited so long to try it! We made a reservation on Resy and didn't have to wait long. Robby was our waiter and, when asked for recommendations, he suggested the breakfast burrito and the eggs Benedict. (They have more clever names on the menu, but I've already forgotten them.) Incredible food and Robby was one of the best waiters ever. We will definitely return! read more

While visiting Chattanoogo we went to SideTrack for a Sunday brunch. It was fabulous, such a cool spot, neat clean and a terrific menu. Our server was so friendly and right on top of things, everyone was pleased. I had the chicken and waffles, they were tasty, chicken was not spicy just right. Waffle was a perfect size, just enough. The biscuits and gravy had an ample amount of sausage in it and the biscuits were big and fluffy. I ordered scrambled eggs with cheese, that was made exactly how I like it. The French toast was delicious as well. We also ordered grits, bacon and French fry's, all very good. Everything we ordered was delicious and this place would be a definite spot to return. The afternoon was perfect, fun relaxing and delicious food. I highly recommend this place. read more

Very delicious dinner. Hard to pick best entree, side or desert. All were fantastic so just follow your gut! If you're worried about the next morning, here's your after action report from a guy who basically ate 2 meals, sides and a desert then walked/ran 14 miles the next day... everything sat great! Eat away! Anywho, food was scrumptious, enjoy! read more

Got a reservation and still had quite a wait. Service was very slow. Food is decent no complaints there but overall very unimpressed

I don't like to give poor reviews, but seriously is this a $16 a la carte cheeseburger worth a 45 minute wait to be seated next to a table of loud obnoxious cursing people. I'm sorry to say we will not be back. The burger was just ok. Also had chicken tenders and no honey mustard or dipping sauce other than their ranch. Again, just ok. So many other choices in this area with much better ambiance, service and food. read more

On a search to find a new restaurant to try I stumbled upon this spot. I made a reservation via Resy on the day of my visit for 7:30pm. This restaurant is located directly next to a gas station. If you are going at night it is easy to miss. Note that if you turn at the gas station and go to the rear of the gas station you will be in the parking lot of the restaurant. When I walked in the hostess did not even ask if we had reservations. This was a little disappointing because I noted in the Resy app that we were celebrating a birthday. It would have been nice if this was acknowledged. Even after mentioning that I had one the host acted as if she did not hear me. We were seated immediately and our wait staff came over shortly after. We were given a glass bottle of water and allowed a few minutes to view the menu. We de iced to try the Following shareable: okra chips, wings and feta cheese. Of the three the feta ranked the highest. Whatever honey they use absolutely makes the dish. It is served with earl pita bread. Next would be the okra chips. They were not as good as I was anticipating. They were decent to me. I would not order them again, but would eat them again. My boyfriend had the wings and he said they were a miss. My entree was the fish and chips and my boyfriend had the trout. Note that our waitress advised us that the fish option changed weekly. Our food came out quickly. I was not crazy about the fish and chips. The fish used is catfish. I am not crazy about catfishX I also did not care for the thick breading on the fish. It was just too much for me. I would not order this again. However, the trout and green beans were everything! The green beans had a smoky taste with garlic. The fish was small, but had a good taste. We also ordered the Mexican corn as a side to share. It also had a great taste. I really wanted to try the adult s'mores. After paying the tab and observing another patron get the dessert I had to order it. Oh my gosh- it was everything I imagined. Everything is made in house- graham cracker marshmallow. It is served with ice cream that is sitting on a bed of crushed cookies. Our server was great. She provided just the right amount of attention. She also was not afraid to give her opinion on dishes. While I did not enjoy every item I ordered, the items that were good made up for the ones that were lacking. I also look forward to trying different items on the menu. Next time I will try the salmon and the side of okra. read more

Some very creative and delicious dishes - check out the crispy okra chips or crispy fried leeks! Everything is well-prepared and service is friendly and attentive. The atmosphere is very pleasant, a bit loud when the restaurant is busy but not too noisy for conversation. A great place for special occasions or just for a satisfying meal out. read more

The drinks, food and ambience were absolutely excellent. The fried okra was amazing and you aren't loving a good life until you've tried it. read more

My friends and I would meet here weekly for dinner & drinks and Travis would always have us a table. Any changes or special occasions I could always message him and he would take care of it. You don't get that kind of customer service anywhere anymore and it was something that set Sidetrack apart. Since Travis has been gone the atmosphere has changed and it's just not a good feeling in there and the staff look down. We are moving our weekly dinner. I sure hope Sidetrack makes better management decisions in the future as Travis really was the best read more

I'm a good cook and a hard worker, so when I go out, there are two things I an looking for - food that is at least as good as what I can create and I want to be pampered a bit. SideTrack hits a home run on both. I enjoyed my dinner out tonight with my dear hubby after a long and challenging week. Rob was our waiter and he "pampered" me just fine. Charming, personable, knows the menu, made great recommendations and timed the delivery of appetizers, salads, dinner and dessert just right. Drinks were offered and delivered in a timeline that matched the courses and always with a smile. Rob checked often enough to make sure we were happy with each menu item, but not intrusive or omnipresent. Our appetizers, wedge salad with bacon and our dinners were wonderful. My hubby loved his American Red Snapper and my Prime Bavatte with Rob's suggested sauteed mushrooms scattered atop and wood fired roasted carrots were to die for. The "In Sheep's Clothing" Cabernet was a lovely compliment to my meal... so good I had to have another glass. All in all, a lovely and relaxing evening, well spaced and presented by a staff that knows what they are doing and takes pride in doing it right. This was not our first visit. We have come here before as visitors, now as "locals" we will be regulars. From the moment you are met by the friendly hostess to the moment you leave after being pampered by Rob, you will be happy. I suggest making a reservation. Their reservation service provides reminders and we were promptly seated. Just lovely. read more

We closed Side Track down with Coconut cake and Strawberry shortcake dessert. The entrees were delicious: Red Snapper was cooked perfectly and Red curry chicken is uniquely flavored you can't stop eating. The sides were fenomenal especially the leeks and zucchini. The waiter tended to us well and made sure we had everything we needed. Looking forward to Brunch on Sunday! Casual and relaxing setting. read more

Another outstanding dining experience at Sidetracks. Food and service are always outstanding. Fairly priced for the quality. Ample parking is always a plus. read more

Excellent food, relaxed atmosphere, and friendly professional service. Good for date night or families.

OMG!!!! These fish and chips are the best ever! And 25% off on Sundays! The "sure thing" cocktails are absolutely eponymous with their name! Best meal EVER! Don't read this! We want it a best kept secret! Corona update: We have cautiously began eating out again, kind of afraid of getting COVID-19, but trying to resume some of our habits, like eating at Sidetrack. I watched them sanitize a table after the people left and I feel very comfortable now eating a Sidetrack! Two employees used sanitizer to wipe down the table, chairs, etc., very thoroughly, spending at least 20 minutes doing Here we are again with the BEST fish and chips in Chattanooga! Absolutely wonderful! read more

This is always a great evening. Service is excellent and the food is great. I haven't been disappointed with anything I order.

We went here for Valentine's Day. What a great experience. We really enjoyed the ambiance of the restaurant. The food and service was excellent. We started off with the whipped feta. If you're planning on an appetizer, this is it. For our entrees, I had the salsa verde chicken with a side of wood grilled okra and my wife had the prime bavette. We both enjoyed these entrees and had no complaints on them. We decided to share the adult s'more as a dessert. The only thing we regretted was sharing and not getting our own. I don't think you will be disappointed here. They've done a great job with this restaurant. read more

SideTrack - Salsa Verde 1/2 Chicken and Wood Grilled Okra - American Near Me - Chattanooga, Tennessee

New Year, new discoveries, let's go! First time to eat at SideTrack. Noticed small signage, faded color and hoped other visitors weren't missing where to turn in. Liked the windows in dining area, providing a view and decided on the quiche. Honestly have say I was disappointed. Quiche is a favorite for me, and I've had the French style, Bennigans style, PNW style and now Side Track style. The crust was thick and overcooked, as was the top of quiche a charred brown. Yuck. The filling seemed like a country filling with cheddar, ham and lots of salt. I like salt, but this was too much salt. I'm sorry to share this, but feedback can be valuable, right? I'm sure I'll return to try another meal in hopes of culinary happiness. Best of luck! read more

Delicious, delicious, delicious!!! That's really all I can say! I had the French toast with blackberries and my friend had the Eggs Benedict. We shared a carafe of mimosas and thoroughly enjoyed our food and the service. Atmosphere is also excellent. Will definitely be back! read more

I wanted to try this place for awhile and finally bit the bullet and went....at 4:00...umm just realizing the geriatric hour I chose to dine, I prefer to believe I hadn't eaten all day...yeah. Good segue to the restaurant cleanliness...I never comment on this because, well, it's a restaurant - you just expect it to be clean, but whoever closed the night before gave sweeping the floor the big, fat, finger, cause Yikes! I assume it was the night crew cause I was there when they opened, as noted above... So, on my empty stomach, I ordered a recommended drink from Yelp, The Sure Thing. Thank you Yelp - delicious! I ordered the Fried Leeks appetizer to nosh on with my drink and it was pretty good, there were some hard pieces that were unpleasant, but the majority were crispy. The waiter was very helpful and suggested the lasagna and asked if I wanted bread with that. Of course, I accepted this offer because, it's bread...This was an interesting take on lasagna - different, but good, and just the right portion side. That bread tho... It was really hard, not my favorite. Could have been a fluke, but for the $1.50 extra charge, I would pass on the bread.. words that rarely leave my lips! I also purchased a side of grilled okra, which were good as well. The standout here was the service and cocktails. read more

Well the food will make you lick your fingers. The whipped feta is refreshingly different. Sweet and oily and herb fresh with the pita. A little messy but fun. The okra chips are fine cut and admittedly a little hard to eat - maybe a spoon would be easier - pro tip if you scrape the small bits onto your salad. The Caesar was huge and extremely fresh and crunchy. The half chicken dishes are anything but typical chicken - stupid good with punches of unique flavor and not over salted. Huge serving - we had to take most of them home. But we were beside ourselves at how well the chicken is prepared - juicy but with crisp skin. SO MUCH flavor. The curry is perfect. The garnish on the salsa verde is perfect - maybe the menu needs spruced up descriptions of these dishes bc the name does not match how incredible these are. The side mushrooms were high quality - not over cooked. Buttery and fresh herbs - maybe top 5 I've had. Cocktail I had was solid. Would definitely return to try something else. read more

Food is good but the brunch menu is better to me than their dinner menu. Nice drink menu.

I think the side track is one of the best restaurants I have eaten at, their fried mushrooms are the best ever. I can't wait to go again.

Um, somehow I have never been here for brunch (or any other meal), despite being a brunch fanatic, and I'm so mad at myself for waiting so long to try this place out. First of all, it was so cute inside and the entire staff seemed so nice and attentive. But, obviously what stood out the most was the food! We started out with an order of beignets after noticing literally everyone around us had them, so we figured they must be good. We were definitely not disappointed. I ordered the chicken and waffles and they were soooo good. The chicken was so tender and was glazed in some sort of spicy/sweet sauce, and honestly was some of the best chicken and waffles I've had in a while. My friends got the chorizo breakfast burrito (also delicious) and the lasagna (didn't try but looked great). Overall, this was a great brunch experience, and I suggest you don't wait as long as I did to check this place out. read more

Anytime I've visited Side Track I've enjoyed it. The food is always good and the drinks are as well.

BLUF: Exceptional food, welcoming and attentive wait staff, and a lovely interior. So, this visit was our first one to SideTrack. We have driven by it for the better part of two (2) years, but we never knew what to expect. Naturally, Yelp gave good reviews, and we thought it was a good bet. We started with the "Truffle Fried Mushrooms," and they were fantastic, as the rosemary, which appears to be growing on site, really gave the dish a wonderful flavor. Second, my wife ordered the "Iceberg Wedge," and we split it at the suggestion of the helpful server who brought it. It also was wonderful, as the fried leeks took it to another level. For our main course, we both chose the "Wood Grilled 8oz Prime Bavette" steak. As we are trying to move beyond our "well-done" roots, we ordered them prepared medium. We also split an order of "Garlic Mashed Potatoes" and "Wood Fire Roasted Carrots." We both had a superior glass of Côtes du Rhône cabernet. HOWEVER, as I have been generous (frankly truthful) with my compliments for all offerings early on, I now have to register a few complaints (genuine) about the main course. The steaks and sides came out borderline warm. The steaks were so flavorful and the sides were so well prepared, but it was a shame that they were not pipping hot. Also, my wife's steak was more rare than medium. Questions: What should one say at this point? Put it back on the grill or put the vegetables in the microwave? The taste kept us from these measures, and we told the waiter, who seemed truly understanding. I said that I did not expect Ruth's Chris sizzling 500-degree plates, but the food was not hot. The waiter responded, "Well, you should expect it to be pipping hot." I felt better about my complaints. My wife and I finished with a shared "Velo Coffee Roasters French Press" and a "Grownup S'mores." NOW, here is were salvation came to our table. The coffee, complete with a set of homemade (?) sugar cubes, was delicious. YET, the dessert is one of the best ones I have ever had in 53 years of life on this planet. It was so very good. Please try this Hixson Pike gem. It is worth your time and money. read more

First off the food was amazing! I am sad that they took off the lamb but I was still highly satisfied with the rest of their menu. The cocktails are amazing and Jimmy gave us a good rundown of the whole drink/food menu. Customer service is always on point and I will definitely be going back again when I'm back in town! read more
