Great food, especially the goat cheese ravioli. Creative drink menu. Wonderful fresh oysters. Very attentive service!

Great food. Great drinks. Great service. Chattanooga ambience. If I worked in the city, it's a place I would go regularly to meet friends.

This place was popping on a Wednesday evening. The interior of this place is beautifully designed with the fancy ladder bar and floor to ceiling windows. Their main selling point is crafted ice which is basically fancy clear ice that's rid of impurities. Pretty neat if you asked me. Its supposed to melt slower but it melted in my cocktail at a relatively average pace lol. I had two cocktails. The first was the field of dreams that tasted very fragrant but too watery for my liking. I think the second cocktail I had was the margarita which tasted fine. Both were really really strong though. For my meal I had the steak frites. It was perfectly medium rare and easy to bite. The fries were crispy and tasted good with the steak sauce on the side. read more

The food was very good!We started with the appetizer. It was a nice selection. Then we split the grilled roast beef sandwich with fries. The sandwich was delicious. The fries were good, could have been a little more crispy. The service was excellent. And the building is super cool. read more

I was with a party of 10- we ordered a lot of food - spicy tuna bites, chefs board, halibut, salmon, chicken piccata and the special Crab Noodle bowl. The entrees were good, however when I told the waiter that there was no crab in the crab noodle entree, he told me that they could bring me more crab (really?) and then charge me for it. Really outrageous! I mentioned this was unacceptable and I sent the entree back. I guess he realized that a table of 10 was going to be a very large bill and he came back and told me that I was not going to be charged for the crab noodles, which was the correct answer. read more

It's a really big building and you can't miss it because it's on the corner. The bar is major and huge, so you can probably get whatever you want. It has plenty of seats in there has some indoor and outdoor options. The service was pretty good (Victor took care of me). I can't complain. They had a few TVs so if you want to watch a game this will be a spot to do it at but don't expect it to be full of TVs like a sports bar. Char broiled oysters were aight (This is kind of why I actually picked the place in the first place). I probably would not order them again. They were pretty small if you compare them to places like NOLA which is not fair... I know! But that is my baseline lol. Then she came out more on the burnt side than the char side so that was a little bit dissuading. I'm a big fan of Char-Broiled oysters so that part didn't do it for me. They had an okay flavor, but it didn't really have as much flavors I would have liked because it was a little more drier inside of the shells. Cheeseburger egg rolls were really good. Nothing much to say, but they were something I would go for again. The sauce took them up another level. Caesar salad was ok, I mean it's hard to mess up a salad lol but it was a little dry when it comes out so you will have to get some extra dressing FYI. I can't say I would hurry to come back, but it was only an okay experience as far as the food goes. The service was actually good so I will give them that, but I would probably try some other things instead of coming back here honestly. It doesn't mean it was bad, but, I was not floored or wild. I will give them another shot, but let me make my way through Chattanooga first. read more

For all the hype this place gets, I thought it was just ok... Got the blacked fish tacos, chargrilled oysters, fried green tomatoes, and the stir fry. The story fry was heavy and overly sweet. The oysters were decent but nothing like traditional chargrilled oysters. The tacos were ok but a dry. The tomatoes were good but topped with an odd kind of fake tasting cheese. Nothing really stand out about this place tbh. read more

Food was good, service was also very good. I wish I had pictures. I love the environment as well. This is certainly my go to for brunch.

Great drinks and environment. We just stopped in for drinks this summer and I had a great time. We will be back

I really enjoyed STIR. I had a seafood salad which consisted of shrimp and lobster and everything was fresh. We had really good service and he was very informative. The restaurant was nice and clean and a place anybody can go. I would certainly go back. read more

I came by to treat myself to dinner while traveling to Cloudland Canyon. I started with the Wild Moon Child cocktail. It was beautiful and delicious. For dinner I ordered the Grilled Swordfish special with a Caesar salad. I was disappointed when my salad came out after my meal. But, I just ate it alongside my entree. The swordfish dish was delicious, my only complaint was that the risotto was lukewarm. So before I could really get into my meal, it was cold. I chose to sit at the bar, and the bartenders were very attentive and helpful when I was t sure which signature cocktail I wanted to order. It seemed to get pretty busy by the time I was wrapping up my meal. There was a nice collection of folks there to mix and mingle with. This seems to be a place that several of the locals love to come meet up with their friends for a drink after work. The atmosphere is laid back, but not overly casual. I really enjoyed my time there. read more

Stir has been my favorite restaurant for delicious food and drinks however; it will be awhile before we go back after we both had a reaction to the food last night. We started with the monthly special volcano bites, which were absolutely delicious! We also had the monthly special entrees, lobster pasta and short rib. My husband had the lobster pasta and the moment it was delivered to our table. We could smell that something was wrong with it. The lobster had a strong fish smell and the sauce that went with the pasta had a bad flavor to it. My short rib had a lot of fat on it and sat on a bed of cauliflower au gratin which was more like a mash covered with oil and gravy from the short rib. Right before we left, my stomach turned and had to run to the restroom as something made me feel sick. We told our waitress about the food and while she was accommodating and none of this was her fault, the overall experience has turned us off to Stir for a while. We won't be back anytime soon. read more

It has saddened me how far downhill STIR has gone. When it first opened, the food was great! Service is hit or miss now... The hostesses were totally rude though. The last time I ate here will be the last. The food was so terrible. It takes a lot for me to write a review that's completely negative, but it's not cheap to eat and drink here and folks should probably go somewhere where they will not be disappointed. I do hope it makes a comeback! Love the area and the space. read more

Came back to Stir for dinner the other night and this may be one of my new favorite spots for cocktails AND eats. It's clearly a popular spot, and based on both of my experiences here, it lives up to the hype. Our waiter was so friendly, made a point to get to know us, and answered all of our questions about the menu. This time, my husband and I came w/ another cocktail, tried multiple cocktails and entrees - the tuna poke bowl was sooo good and everyone was so happy with their meals too - including the scallops, the steak bowl, and the tuna burger. We'll be back many times! read more

The food was excellent and server extremely nice, however, food and beverages took forever to come out. As explained there was something wrong with the "Draft Service" whatever that is? I would not recommend this place unless you have two hours to sit and wait. Perhaps regulars are taken care of. Not out of towners. read more

The service we had was great! We were seated immediately after already going elsewhere at two other places that didn't work out. Of course anywhere on a Saturday during lunch will be busy! But, with kids sometimes you can't wait over an hour to be seated! Lol.. STIR was also super busy but we were seated within 5 minutes. Our server Joseph made us feel welcomed and accommodated us from the start. He even said if we had any questions he's tried everything on the menu! We were thrilled with the information and opinions he gave us. (It's was a big menu and we were there for brunch) It was our first time being trying STIR and he answered all our questions and if he wasn't 100% sure on a item if it had egg in it or not he went and asked the kitchen staff questions regarding the menu and ingredients. We unfortunately did have a mishap with the egg allergen information from the kitchen staff. But, we were grateful that it was handled well from the manager Bill. Praising the Lord I'm doing better! A learning curve for everyone we hope. Again we will be back to try it out again and I think I'll stick to a salad or the shrimp in grits that my husband got next time to avoid eggs lol.

Celebrating a milestone. Fancy menu w emphasis on raw bar items, seafood and steaks n salads. Prices are reasonable but items may be expensive; tiger shrimp cocktail was enormous and good. Dover sole was outstanding. The tuna bites are fine but not what I expected. The tuna was a paste on top of highly seasoned sushi rice; no ginger wasabi or soy dip. Wasn't something I would order again. The broccolini was served very raw and too hard and unseasoned to enjoy. The roasted cherry tomatoes were delicious. The cocktail list is amazing and diverse. The old train station has large windows, some booths, hightops and bar seats. It's not elegant but has clean lines. The wait professionals were pleasant. Two items I specifically asked for ( hot tea w meal and ice for the water) were disregarded or forgotten. The $75 Sancerre wasn't the one we ordered but arrived and opened w assurance it was 'better'! Normally we would prefer to simply select another and not be made to feel we had to drink the substitute. It was delivered as a fait d'accompli. No, I didn't want to find the waiter to get the tea n ice. No we didn't want to be churlish n refuse the substitute wine. Probably won't try this eatery again. read more

Definitely get a reservation (you may still have a wait). The food was fresh and delicious. We ordered a couple of drinks. Those came and so did our appetizer. Had to wait a bit for the server to take our dinner order. The food was great. Will be back. The shrimp and grits was divine. First time having that dish. Highly recommend. read more

Lives up to all the hype! One of those fantastic spots where you're dressed equally appropriately in jeans and a hoodie -or- your date night drip. Servers are friendly and knowledgeable without ever coming across as snotty or pushy. They know their liquor and will take time to make suggestions based on what you like. The house crafted cocktails are honestly very fairly priced. $12-13.50 for delicious and truly unique drinks with high quality ingredients. These are drinks you sip and savor as they melt into the amazing ice (yes really) freshly shaved or cubed into your glass. The food is good! You can tell the vegetables are very fresh. Absolutely loved the spicy tuna bites. Melt in your mouth! Crab bisque was rich and satisfying without being overly reliant on heavy cream for richness - you really taste the crab meat. The steaks were not the best you can get in Chattanooga by any means but they were cooked as ordered and served with tasty accompaniments. Without the sauces however it would have been a little meh, and a truly good steak should be able to stand alone. Beautifully decorated inside for the holiday season by the way! And they had the College Football Playoffs on TV :) read more

Busy place, especially on Saturday nights! We opted not to wait for a table and headed to the bar. Luckily, there was one stool at the end, and the people next to us were finishing up, so we enjoyed a beverage while waiting for another seat. The Austin Mule was tasty and refreshing. The bartenders were fantastic, working fast and not letting anyone go thirsty! Once we both were seated, we ordered a charcuterie board along with two Caesar salads. The portions were perfect and everything was so good! We loved the bustling atmosphere, though it could be a bit loud at times. A very nice evening. Be sure to make reservations at least a day ahead if you want a table before 9! read more

Horrible food poisoning. Wife and I were unbelievably sick that night and the next day from the mahi bowl and tuna bowl. Looking through other reviews, this seems to be a pattern for Stir. If you want to stay out of the bathroom for the next 48 hours, choose someplace for dinner and drinks. read more

I really enjoyed the ambiance, location, oyster selection, and mocktail. I got a virgin Elderflower Sour. The oysters were fresh and they had 5 kinds. I would def go back for oysters and drinks! I also got a big salad to go and tuna Poké bowl so I tried a variety of fresh items. read more

Had a reservation for an anniversary dinner, had our hungry toddler with us. We arrived at our reservation time and they said they didn't have a table available but would soon. We waited 20 minutes before we finally left as we had a child to feed. The hosts didn't bother to communicate anything with us about why it was taking so long. Definitely don't count on this place to have a table for you even if you have a reservation, they don't take those seriously. read more

Stir is a really cool restaurant and cocktail bar right inside the historic Chattanooga Choo Choo. Many people rank Stir as one of the nicest restaurants in Chattanooga, Tennessee and right next door was the Terminal Brewhouse (which has sadly closed) to continue the fun in the Chattanooga downtown area. Stir has great food along with being rightfully recognized for their amazing cocktails that rank among the best Chattanooga offers. Stir is so dedicated to their cocktails they even make special ice for them. They also have outstanding service at Stir and it has been among the absolute best experiences I have had with staff at any restaurant in Tennessee. I've dined here for both lunch and dinner and the food has always been great. The location inside of the Chattanooga Choo Choo really is beautiful and adds to the wonderful ambiance of this special place. Overall this is a great spot to add to your list if you are visiting Chattanooga or live in the area! My video review of STIR is here: https://youtu.be/zNoEcPbeUHk read more

The waitress was great, oysters were fine, hot sauce bottle with oysters was a dryed up dipped mess. Little things matter. Dover sole was dry and flavorless, small portion for 40 plus $, broccolini and tomatoes were charred but not worth the price. read more

The only thing working for this place is... historic location old train station. The charcuterie board was so lacking, we have had better and I've made better. 3 pieces of think salami, a few grapes, 2 pieces of prosciutto , bread so hard you could hit the table with it, a few nuts, teaspoon of 2 cheese. My wife order steak with fries(cold) had to send back, my food was last to come out maui was hot but no flavor, my mom's shrimp and grits had flavor but not even warm, same with sister in laws soup. Desserts were free and were just ok. Over priced food. Will not recommend. read more

The crispy mahi mahi bowl was amazing. Perfect amount of spice and sweetness. The truffle fries were fabulous. Cocktail menu is descriptive and creative. Everything looked amazing. The building is connected to the Chattanooga Choo Choo building and the interior is old and well thought out to represent the time. Carly did a fabulous job as our server. She made great recommendations and was fun and attentive. We will definitely be back. read more

I was in Chattanooga to celebrate my 2 year anniversary. We decided to grab dinner at Stir. I ordered the chargrilled oysters and the crab bisque and the shrimp louie salad. The oysters were small, but well seasoned and tasted good. The crab bisque was salty and cold. The restaurant was out of a lot of menu items, including bao buns for the steak bao sliders and deviled eggs for the salad. They served me a salad without tomatoes. They were nice enough to add a few extra shrimp since they were out of egg. My server was really nice and great. There is parking nearby. read more

Fantastic food, and good service. The food was excellent and Service was quick. The atmosphere is pleasant.

This was our first visit to Stir, but it definitely won't be our last! Best food we've had in a long time. First, let's start with the venue. A beautiful, large, open space with great architecture. Noise level was wonderfully low. No loud music to hamper conversation but enough ambient "chatter" noise to feel relaxed and comfortable. A beautiful space! Secondly, the service. Ella was the perfect server. She took such great care of us. She answered all of our menu questions and offered great recommendations. She was perfectly attentiveness without hovering. Food and cocktails were delivered timely. Next, cocktails. The hubby had a nice McCallum 15 then an amazing espresso martini for "dessert." It tasted like a liquid tiramisu. Insert chef's kiss. I had two margaritas that were amazing. Let's just say, for me it takes a lot, and these were top shelf! Lastly (best for last), the food. From the moment we walked in, they had us with the smell. The smell! The smell that says, "no matter what you order, it will be amazing!" We started with the crab bisque. If I could fill a pool and swim in it, I would! I was seriously tempted to lick the bowl clean. So good! Hubby ordered the stuffed flounder from the specials menu. It was so rich and delicious. Highly recommend if you are a seafood lover. I ordered the crispy mahi bowl. OMGGGG!!!! An Asian flavor bomb! Slightly spicy, sweet, crispy.... So good! The portions were generous. Enough to bring home and an encore for lunch tomorrow. Can't wait! read more

So, after waiting for a table for about an hour, we get seated. Ordered an appetizer of fries, it never came. Our meals came out about 45 minutes after we ordered. Barely any service or care. The food once it came was great. Not sure if it's because I waited forever or if it was really good. Jury's out on that. What I did notice is that better service was given to the table next to us as they were ordering expensive drinks. Good to know that if you don't drink, don't expect service. The place is nice. And it's popular. Full on a Friday night. I just would have loved to not have waited 45 minutes for a meal that included a child's Mac and cheese. read more

Been to Stir around a dozen times and have always had a great experience. Food is fresh and tasty. Yesterday we must have had a brand new waitress that was not trained well. First she told us we couldn't change an ingredient on an appetizer and after we asked her to check, we could. We order a steak salad and she said we only could get the steak was well done. We asked her to check and guess what, we could get it medium. The kicker was before the check came, I asked her to validate the parking like it says on the valet sign outside she said that was done with the hostess. After we paid I went up to the hostess and asked for validation. The hostess said that supposed to be done before we cashed out, there was nothing she could do and she walked away. Such bad customer service. If a manager had come up and explained the situation it may have helped but I am pretty disappointed. read more

Spectacular. Lucky to get a table for four at this busy place and we are glad we waited for it. Prompt and friendly service. Clean. And the food was fantastic. Oysters, horseradish, taco appetizer, iceberg salad, chicken picatta. Cocktails tasty with heavy pour. We really enjoyed it and will be back. read more
