This was the second time we have been to Stir and it was amazing as usual! Karlie was our server and she was the best! We sat outside on a beautiful day and the food never disappoints. read more

Part of a large group here (ages 22-80) for a family wedding welcome dinner in a private space. Buffet setup, which worked well for the crowd. They had a private patio attached to the dining room--a nice touch that opened things up and kept it from feeling like you're packed into a back room, which can happen with private dining. My wife has a gluten and dairy allergy, and I've got a tree nut allergy, Alpha-Gal, plus a diabetes kicker. Staff were attentive and helpful navigating the restrictions--appreciated that it wasn't a production. Food was very good across the board, which is no small thing when you're feeding a multigenerational group with varying tastes. Extensive bar offerings. I particularly enjoyed the whiskey selections--well curated and worth exploring. The ambiance lands well too--rustic but stylish, and comfortable enough that a mixed-age group settled in easily. Good for: business meals, dates, large groups and private events Would come back. read more

The building was attractive. We had 8:00 reservations but there were only a handful of tables occupied and no one was at the bar. The food was subpar and the service was questionable at best. We ordered oysters as an appetizer and they arrived about a minute before our entrees. Halfway through our meal, with 7 oysters left on the platter, Kyla asked if we wanted to "scoop them out" so she could take the plate. The lobster Mac n cheese was large but the lobster was overcooked. Seared tuna was overcooked (on one side), the fried mahi bowl and tuna poke bowl were large and prepared the best of the 4 entrees. We asked about dessert choices and were told "chocolate cake, cheese cake, and creme brûlée" She then said "Oh, we have an eggnog creme brûlée". I asked if the cheese cake was plain she reluctantly said "It's matcha, but I don't tell people that because you can't taste it". I explained that those details would be important to me. I was going to ask for details on the other options but I gave up. Not trusting the generic descriptions at that point we said thank you and we would pass on dessert tonight. At that point we really just wanted the check to leave. Upon receiving the check we asked about validating parking since it was on the website. There's an entire section on parking on the website. They obviously need to provide a map of parking since it's a very specific gravel lot. She said she hasn't looked at the site, but the only lot they valid is "2 blocks behind the restaurant in front of the flats apartments and I'm sure it's not the one you parked in". She then walked over to the corner near the raw seafood and proceeded to cough into her hand then deliver food to a table. Entrees all below $31 unless "market price". read more

Holy crap this place is good! We sat at the bar and during our first visit, bartender Courvoisier, made the experience! But the second time, we also sat at the bar and received stellar service! In addition, the food is tasty, the menu is creative, and everything's well prepared. One complaint on both visits, something came out cold. Both times, the food was whisked away and replaced with hot dishes. Granted, this shouldn't happen, but I can't imagine it getting handled any better than it was. This will be on our regular brunch rotation! read more

This place had a really cute vibe. I stopped by on vacation and we tried the oysters which were a nice size and really good. We also tried the shrimp and grits and the goat cheese ravioli special which was a hit. The goat cheese added just the right about of flavor. read more

Blown away by Stir. Atmosphere, food, service, they nailed it. Our waiter was kind and helpful, helped us pick out the most popular things on the menu. We ended up getting oysters, a garden chicken, and a chicken picotta as well as the crème brûlée all of it was drool-worthy. The atmosphere was cool, very industrial modern with unfinished accents. They had all kinds of seats like high tops, regular tables, booths, bar seats. We didn't have to wait more than 20 minutes for our table so not bad at all. Make sure you pay for your parking !! read more

(with a wink) Upon recommendation from a lovely bartender at the Moxy, we wandered over to Stir--and immediately walked into a whole vibe. Industrial, buzzy, packed... the kind of place where you plan for "one drink" and suddenly you're making new friends at the bar. Speaking of--sat down next to total strangers from PA and Knoxville, TN. My new friend? An oyster enthusiast on a mission. She needed a partner in crime... and I happily rose to the occasion. Raw oysters, Rockefeller--so many oysters (heavy on the James River). Now, the Rockefeller oysters came topped with big shaved Parmesan that hadn't quite melted... which felt a little rogue, but hey--could've been how they were ordered. Oyster diplomacy prevailed. I ordered the seafood salad--loaded with lobster and shrimp. Fresh, citrusy, light, and absolutely fantastic. One of those dishes you keep going back to even when you're "full." We also tried the much-talked-about goat cheese ravioli. And... here's where things got a little dicey. The edges were undercooked. Sent it back. Round two... same situation. Filling? Delicious. Execution? Not quite there. To their credit, they took it off the bill without hesitation. Service-wise--bartenders were hustling hard, but clearly stretched thin for the crowd. Management might want to hop behind the bar and order a drink themselves... they'd feel it real quick. All in all: great energy, fun crowd, solid seafood, and a bar experience that makes the night. Just maybe skip the ravioli... unless you're into a little suspense with your pasta. Would absolutely go back--for the oysters, the vibe, and the chance to meet my next random oyster-sharing friend. read more

We went for brunch. It was great. Everyone loved it. The mimosas and Bloody Marys were only $5. They had a bar of a few salads and few light deserts that were included with every entree. We had the shrimp and grits which were top notch. Also one of the omelets and the all American breakfast. Our server was super-friendly and very attentive. They had a nice small jazz band that was very nice. Would love to go for dinner sometime. read more

Came in really late for us - 10pm after an exhausting day. Just wanted a bite and a nice glass of wine. Fortunately they are open late. Parking is a PIA, but beyond that it was great. The space is amazing in the old train terminal. They have an extensive menu with lots of choices for everyone. The wine list was a bit of a challenge as they were out of our first choice and they didn't have a sommelier on the floor. We had three different appetizers , finished our wine and headed out at closing. Would definitely return! read more

Horrible experience. We had a party of 16 and knew this was big. We called and had a reservation in place 2 weeks in advance. Took 40 minutes past our reservation time to get seated. From there it took three hours to get our orders placed and given. Nearly half our party got free meals because we were forgotten about. ruined the rest of the night. Never coming back. DO NOT GO HERE. food was mediocre at best. read more

Great experience at Stir, I had the Dover Sole and my husband had the Shrimp Scampi. Both were excellent. Fir drinks, my husband had the old fashioned and I had a blackberry bramble. While we are not regular drinkers, the drinks were way too strong for our taste. We ended the evening with the chocolate cake which was also excellent. We will be back! Its hard to find a resturant that delivers on flavor, quality, and service but STIR does! read more

My husband and I were looking for a somewhat unique, well-appointed place to celebrate our first anniversary and STIR did not disappoint! The service was fantastic, Shelby was attentive, prompt, welcoming, and knowledgeable. The ambience was perfect for what we were wanting. Not too quiet but also not too loud. A good balance of low lighting without struggling to see the menu or each other. Being set in the train station, the architecture was beautiful and added flavor to our celebration. I ordered the Strawberry Moon Sangria. Certainly not a strong drink, but very tasty. Sweeter and less of a punch than a typical sangria. We also shared a Chef's board. The pepper jelly had great flavor, not too sweet. The board was well-appointed with a decent variety of charcuterie. For dinner, I had the Steak Frites. The steak's seasoning was well balanced, not too salty. It was tender and thick, with obvious quality of cut. The steak fries (as labeled in the menu) weren't what I would consider typical of either steak fries or frites, but they were good and freshly cut, albeit a little brown and soft for my taste. The house made steak sauce base was very good. A great blend of spice, savory, and sweet with hints of sriracha. My husband enjoyed his mahi bowl. The mahi was fried and crisp with a heat from the pineapple sauce that was a slow burn, building as he enjoyed his meal. A great night! Will make another stop here next time we are in town. read more

We had drinks at the bar on a lively Friday night. It was busy and bustling, lovely with the windows open.

YESSIR TO STIR | espresso martinis & sliders? Yessir! The Tillamook Sliders + Crab Bisque + Seared Scallops were the perfect way to girl dinner, before girl dinner was even a thing. Top it off with a frothy espresso martini and call it the perfect night out. I wasn't a HUGE fan of the seared scallops being on top of a bed of roasted vegetables, they seemed a bit basic. But the scallops were still cooked perfectly. Service was a little slow while we were seated on the nearly empty patio. We had little to no service, like we were an afterthought. Even so, we ordered, ate quickly and were back at our hotel within an hour and a half. Overall, I will definitely be back next time I'm in town - STIR is the perfect spot for a quick bite and drinks! read more

I tried the cold seafood salad that someone else ordered super refreshing very flavorful. Will be on the list for my next visit. read more

Our first dinner on our trip this summer and it was a disappointment. The service was really great but not the food unfortunately. Nice decor and lots of seating options, indoor and outdoor as well as around the bar. They also have a selection of mocktails which I tried the mocktail martini, and it was delicious. For appetizer we split a wedge salad, which had good flavors. However the main entree which the waitress told us was a popular dish did not do well. The halibut was completely dry and way overcooked and the farro needed to be cooked more too hard. The waitress could tell we were not happy and she did give us 25% off, which was a nice gesture. read more

Had a very nice meal at STIR. The food was tasty and the portions were generous. We especially enjoyed the chicken bites. The deviled eggs were solid. The Mahi bites were outstanding. The rice that came with the meal was not as flavorful as I would have liked. However the fish bites more than made up for the rice. The filet mignon was extremely tender and flavorful. Our waiter was knowledgeable and friendly. We were seated in corner booth that was intimate and well lit. Stylish interior decor. We will visit again next week visit Chattanooga. read more

We were looking for a place to eat before an evening kayak trip and STIR came up as one of the favorite places in Chattanooga. We asked if we would be ok to come in in our kayaking gear and they said it was fine and made a reservation for us. When I tell you this was the best meal of our trip. We didn't get to sample any of the cocktails (because we were heading out for a two hour paddle), but my steak salad was one of the best things I ever put in my mouth. Our server, Joseph, was incredibly knowledgable and offered great suggestions about everything. The menu is familiar yet eclectic, and the decor is gorgeous and welcoming. read more

Stir is a Resturant which surely fascinates you because of it's Chattanooga downtown location . They generally have a long wait so call and reserve in advance.

Stir has a beautiful interior with high ceilings located in the old train station. It's known for its bar but we went for lunch. There's plenty of seating and good for large groups as well. We ordered truffle fries, crispy mahi bowl, and a sesame steak bowl. Everything was absolutely delicious. Those were some of the best truffle fries I've had. The steak bowl had a really great flavor and highly recommend. The mahi bowl is slightly sweeter than I had hoped but still enjoyed it read more

We found this place in a strip of other restaurants but it stood out because it was packed even on a rainy night (always a good sign). The space is beautiful--upscale rustic--and the host got us seated faster than expected. Our server, Sarah, was amazing: super knowledgeable, funny, and on top of everything. She never left us hanging. I got the tuna poke bowl, my boyfriend had the lobster + shrimp mac and cheese--both were incredible. We also got drinks: his Chattanooga sour was very good, and my elderflower sour was easily one of the best drinks of the trip. Everything tasted super fresh, and Sarah told us most of the menu is made from scratch--including their custom ice!! Such a great experience. We left full and happy, and would 100% come back. read more

My husband and I were looking for a spot to have our one year wedding anniversary dinner and we found stir. We were impressed with the building which is really cool and right by the Chattanooga choo-choo. The service was really good and our server was super friendly the food was pretty good And the drinks were great. I got the sangria and my husband had a beer what I can truly rave about was their chocolate cake we had for dessert. It was the best chocolate cake I've ever had in my life. I have no idea how they made it so moist and delicious. We could not stop eating it overall very happy with our choice of this as our anniversary spot. read more

we went to STIR for our friends birthday. We were greeted with friendly staff. Our waitress was friendly and was nice enough to split the bill for our big group. We got the oysters to start- they were not that great, i would skip the next time. I ordered the Halibut, which was super good. I loved the flavor profile and the veggies. My boyfriend got the shrimp and grits, they were very rich and so good. My STIR old fashioned was good. read more

A shout out to Nate, who from the very beginning was super welcoming, friendly, and good at directing us to what drinks and food to order. When we were done with our meal, he directed us to the bar to enjoy dessert and drinks (fun mocktail for me). A fun, relaxed atmosphere - one of the few places to remain open late. We enjoyed the lobster crabcakes as apps. We tasted the softness of the lobster, more than the breadcrumbs. We had one of the specials for the night (some delicious meat with ricotta cheese raviolis) as well as trout. Overall, a fun and delicious meal. read more

First of all let me say this restaurant is beautiful inside. We came for dinner and I had to try the pornstar martini. It as sooooo good!! My friend loved her espresso martini as well. We ordered the Parmesan white truffle fries and devoured them. They were delicious. Our server was extremely knowledgeable on the menu items both food and alcohol. My friend ordered the mahi bowl and got the mahi blackened. She loved her dish. I ordered the lobster & shrimp white cheddar macaroni and cheese. When I say this dish was AMAZING. I'm a macaroni and cheese connoisseur so trust me when I say this was sooooo good. I did embarrassingly choke on a piece of shrimp which thankfully my friend is CPR certified. I was a little disappointed in the restaurant staff for not being a little more attentive to the situation. Minus that traumatic experience, I did like my experience and will definitely come back if I'm in the Chattanooga area. read more

My husband and I love Stir so much that we come once a year from Atlanta just to enjoy the fabulous food, atmosphere, and top notch service. Tonight I enjoyed glazed salmon over farro and roasted vegetables which included carrots, celery, and shredded cabbage. All the vegetables were lightly sauteed. My husband had the chicken piccata and it was so tender you could cut it with a fork. So many amazing choices. Bowls, steaks, and seafood just to name a few. I enjoyed a refreshing peach sangria also. Very tart and perfect on a stifling hot July day. Stir never disappoints and tonight was no exception. Shout out to Will our server. He was spot on and attentive and personable. Highly recommend and remember we travel 80 miles each year just to enjoy the pleasure of dining at Stir. read more

Oh, this restaurant. Unbelievable. Let's start with the service. WOW. Sat at the bar on 9/6/25 and was taken care of by the two incredible bartenders, Vsop and John Luke. Vsop's genuineness and attention to detail is absolutely stellar. The way these two work the bar and show genuine interest in the needs of their guest is pretty remarkable. STIR is so lucky to have these two on their team!!! The Filet & House Goat Cheese Ravioli is mouthwatering (I wish I took a picture). The ravioli was cooked to perfection and the filet didn't even need a steak knife to cut into! I can't put into words how great the dish was. Kudos to management and I wanted to give a special shout out to Scott, you can surely tell he leads by example. I live in Nashville so I'm only a 2ish hour drive from here but I will 100% solely come back for a dinner at STIR. WELL DONE!!!! read more
