4.5 - incredible food, 9/10 atmosphere especially in the summer, espresso martinis are sooooo good and I don't even like coffee, goat cheese ravioli is perhaps the best thing I ever put in my mouth. Only removed a star for the overpriced of it all read more

I love ice. Period. No question about it. When I discovered I could select the type of ice I wanted in my drink, I was super excited! Some of the best Hawaiian shaved ice I've ever had. The drinks were superb. The food was good and creative. Cool atmosphere with a mix of ages. I would definitely visit again. read more

I was very impressed with STIR. I went for brunch and ordered the burger. Delicious! However, I should have been specific on how I wanted the fried egg cooked. It came cooked over-hard, and I prefer over-easy. In addition to beautiful main courses, they also have a breakfast bar. The bar has cold salads, fruit, and pastries. We had a limited wait time and wonderful service. read more

Not sure if we came on a bad night, but the service nor food were good. Drinks took a very long time to be brought out. Dishes that were ordered were not available. Drinks that were ordered were not available. It was just not a great night for the food or beverages. read more

I wish I could give this place 6 stars! My boyfriend and I had the best dining experience!!! Our waiter was incredible. We literally never had to ask for anything (not refills, not saucers, seriously nothing). His service paired with his suggestions for the menu were perfect! All of our food was delicious. I highly recommend the elderflower sour cocktail, the caprese chicken, and the shrimp and scallop mac and cheese. read more

Great place for all! A busy Friday night and we walked in and had a great server immediately. Known for cocktails, we try the whiskey drinks. Delicious. My 10 year old ordered a Shirley Temple, but grenadine. They quick came back with cherry sprite my kids loved. I had the salmon that was light and flavorful. The scallops were tasty too. read more

OK, I have been twice now and I have to say I love this place. Beautiful space and a great staff. They can easily accommodate intimate and romantic to a VERY large party. The food is top notch. I have had a bunch of appetizers and a goodly number of their signature cocktails. All excellent and different. For lunch this time I had the "Simply the Best Shrimp". I hesitated to order this since, in my opinion, Osteen's in St Augustine FL has "Simply the Best Shrimp". I think somebody here used to work at Osteen's as this shrimp was awesome. Very good oyster selection. Drinks are spendy but excellent and unique. This would be a great business lunch choice. It is very hard to decide where to go to dinner in this town as there are so many good restaurants but Stir will get my vote often. read more

My husband and our friends ended up here based off of a suggestion from someone. Super glad we came! We did brunch on a Saturday morning and had a great experience. The atmosphere of the restaurant is great. We loved the style and decor. If you order any entree from the brunch menu, you're welcome to enjoy the brunch bar. This was filled with potato salad, deviled eggs, pasta salad, veggies, cinnamon rolls, etc. The food in the bar was great! I ordered eggs benedict which was soooo delicious. My husband had the biscuits and gravy. The biscuits were crunchy on the outside and so fluffy on the inside. The staff were very attentive and accommodating to any alterations requested on menu items. Can't wait to go back and try again! read more

Early opening event was exciting. Sampled many interesting cocktails which only whetted my appetite for more. The food was good, but I'm really waiting on the full menu to complete my review. Especially the raw oysters! A great job on the interior overhaul, super cozy. read more

Really nice atmosphere for dinner in Nooga. Big indoor and plenty of space outside on a nice night. Loved the variety of options on the menu for both starters and main entrees. Plenty of options for any type of taste read more

4th time back last night so I guess with that alone I should be giving it 5 stars. Love the atmosphere, it is not the usual chattanooga scene but should be. Not once have we waited more than 10 minutes for a table. Service is great! Every waiter I've had so far has taken it to the next level. There is a white Michael Jordan that serves here and if you can, you should request him. The manager, Fletcher, was one of the most professional managers I've scene in this city in the food world. He visits every table just to make sure his guest are happy. I must have gasp a little when he actually called me by name, because he met us three nights before there. So happy to have this in our town! A must try! Fish tacos are perfect! read more

I was in town for business and we were looking for a place to grab a quick bite before taking a distillery tour. We parked and decided to check out Stir. I was with a few locals who had not been but knew about the restaurant. We were seated promptly, the place was busy, and our server came right away with water and menus. At first glance the menu was long with the first page was dedicated to their handling of the ice. Eye roll begins. This place is so pretentious they have and "ice chef" whose sole purpose is to freeze water, whatever. I get it. I think its stupid. You want free range, artisanal, locally sourced, organic, bull shit. Its ice. Frozen water. I dont care that you've slow frozen your ice for clarity. I'm not looking through it to see the deeper meaning in your hand crafted cocktail. Its cooling down the alcohol before I slam it down my throat. An ice cube is an ice cube, and I'm sorry but it doesn't matter how clear it is, or what the damn shape is. It's a frozen cube of water. Thats it! Anyway, the menu is confusing as they only have like 6 drinks per the 8 1/2 X 11 page because of the idiotically long descriptions about the history of each drink. I don't care. I know where the sazerac was invented, just tell me the ingredients and move on. I ordered a rye Manhattan, Oysters rockefeller, oysters, and the salmon cakes. A few moments later we are informed they out of cakes. No big deal, we order the fried green tomatoes instead. My drink arrives along with beers that my friends ordered. My drink with it's fancy frozen water was a little too sweet for me, even though it's not supposed to have simple syrup in it I think they overdid it on the orange bitters. It was not well crafted with it's fancy hand cut, artisan, ball of slowly frozen water, crafted with care by their friggen ice chef, that's then barrel aged. It was too damn sweet and cost 14 bucks. Oysters come out, they could use a little salt but are otherwise fine then an order of truffle fries drop. We didn't order those, I explain and they are promptly removed and replaced with salmon cakes. I thought you were out of those? The server that dropped them looked perplexed. Our server that took the order came over and said she screwed up with the fries and gave them too us anyway, then got chastised in front of us over the cakes. It was awkward and weird. The cakes sat at our table for a minute and just as I was about to cut into one the server returns to remove it and bring it to a different table! Seriously? I thought that was terrible, not because we were losing them but they sat at our table for several minutes. I fell bad for whomever got that plate. Absolutely disgusting! Our poor server was very sweet but she seemed flustered and disorganised, and the staff in general seemed to bump into each other and it was clear this place needed to spend some time on training and less on well crafted balls of ice. I watched servers take food from the open kitchen and handle it with bare hands transferring too plates. It was completely unsanitary, and unprofessional. In the end our check came and I paid. My friends baulked that the out of towner would do such a thing and asked our server to cancel my transaction and put it on their card. This evoked a major issue, managers consulted, and in the end they refunded me the pre-tax portion of the bill while charging my friends the full amount, then asked me to sign the voided receipt for their "records". She didn't know why I wasn't refunded the entire amount. Our appointment for the distillery tour was upon us so I left with it unresolved and honestly I just wanted to get the hell out of there. Overall the food was ok, my drink was ok, but the service was terrible. It was really expensive, and in the end if your charging high end big city prices you should offer the service and quality that goes along with that. This place has a long way to go, but they do have an Ice Chef. read more

We stumbled upon this place for lunch and it was one of our faves! The truffle fries + cheeseburger egg rolls were the best things we ate all weekend! Alexandria was so sweet to tell us the best places to eat + drink in Chattanooga! She made our original wedding weekend the best it could be with her sweetness and kindness! :) thanks, Alexandria! read more

This place is absolutely amazing. The quality of the food is the absolute best and the customer service is awesome. everyone is so sweet!! I recommend the scallop and shrimp white cheddar mac n cheese!! read more

took my family to STIT because they never fail and sure enough, THEY ATE INDEED MY FAVORITE. Ordered the French onion soup special and my goodness EXCEEDINGLY GOOD that came with a grill cheese wedge and it was perfect. Had the privilege of meeting Chef Mike Clayton and I had to shake his hand and give him praise. Family ordered lobster bisque and samosa's ALSO VERY GOOD, we could barely finish our entrees that topped off our STIR experience. The drinks were just as great if you want to try a spin on your favorite cocktails. Love that the oysters are always fresh. Stir is the place where you want good ambiance and a great food and cocktail experience. Hats off to Chef Mike and the wait staff that continue to exceed my expectation! read more

Stir was a great visit addition in Chattanooga. The corn chowder was absolutely amazing filled with fresh tasting crab meat. I also order the chicken sliders which were fried to a delightful crisp, just the right amount of mayo, topped with a pickle slice. My main corse was the shrimp and grits. The shrimp were large and properly prepared on a full bed of piping hot grits that required no additional seasoning. You have a selection of indoor and outdoor seating for the amazing view of Chattanooga. Parking is a bit of an hassle, similar to most tourist cities so wear comfortable walking shoes or valet. Stir is know for the different yet resourceful types of ice. The server was well informed, and identified all the methods in which ice can be used. Well worth the time at Stir, good ice and good food. read more

This restaurant has great atmosphere and a great menu. I ordered the tuna poke bowl and it was delicious. We had great service.

Great for dinner or brunch. Scallops were cooked perfectly. Can't go wrong at brunch either.

The craft cocktails are truly amazing, the best cocktails I've ever had! And the oysters and food were equally delicious! Would definitely go back to Stir again for dinner and happy hour! Great atmosphere and terrific service! read more

Exceptional Easter Brunch was served at Stir. We enjoyed a dozen raw oysters, crab and shrimp Benedict and waffled fried chicken and shrimp and Grits. The cold bar was very tasty with potato and pasta salads, deviled eggs, cucumber and tomatoes with fresh mozzarella salad, fresh cut fruit and assorted pastries and cookies! Apple sangria was $1 per glass and it was great!!! read more

I went here for brunch since I had heard good things about this place. The atmosphere and interior design of the place was great but the food was subpar. The presentation of my shrimp and crab eggs Benedict was just sad. It looked like a 2 year old child prepared it. The shrimp was cold and so was the little bit of sauce hollandaise that made it on my plate. The supposedly poached egg was almost done and not runny at all. Oh yeah and cold of course. My potatoes on the side could only be used as decoration since the chef didn't find the spices or at least some salt to go with it. The cold bar that goes with every entree was good. Especially the pasta salad. So whoever made the pasta salad is responsible for this review being 2 stars instead of 1. Nonetheless I returned the main portion of my order which was disappointing for a upscale restaurant. Chattanooga has a lot of brunch places that are outstanding and are worth going to. Stir is not of of them. My jabronis and I will give their dinner a try since everyone deserves a second chance. read more

I can only testify to lunch time. My daughter took me out for a belated fathers day afternoon and took me here. I had the bacon and cheese baked oysters. I had never had oysters prepared this way but thought how could you go wrong? They were just delicious, only wished I had ordered another dozen. Not really! Also had their shrimp and grits. I had never had them with this kind of sauce but they were very good as well. The shrimp was very fresh tasting, something you can't find at your local OCharlies or chain restaurants. Overall the food and the service were awesome. And to Top the experience off which made it over the top and perfect was being with my baby girl. read more

Ok guys I really wanted to give a good review because the people are so very nice. The drinks were great but the food wasn't. My eggs Benedict looked like someone chewed it first and instead of poached eggs I got hard boiled eggs. I may have had one little drip of hollandaise sauce. I took a bite and sooo much salt in the bite made me not want to eat the rest. Family ordered oysters and they were good. Other family member ordered the pasta and she said worst pasta she ever had. I will try again just because I think you should give people second chance, burnt think they have a lot to work on. Tried it Again and ceviche was amazing read more

OMG $1 mimosas. Complimentary appetizer bar for brunch. Free cookies for cookie monsters. Deviled eggs...OMG. All the food was OMG. Server Geoffrey let us call him G-Money. Bro. Can smell the chicken factory which made me throw up a few times. But that just left more room for delicious food in my tummy. So many hot guys. 2.5 hot girls. read more

Too expensive unless you come during happy hour- then the sliders and fish tacos make great small plates for the whole table. Brunch is also good. The service is great and I've never had a bad waiter/ess, but the vibe of the place is a little self-indulgent. read more

STIR - half priced happy hour wine - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Chattanooga, Tennessee

Picking a place when traveling can be a gamble. I picked Stir because they had an oyster bar and a simple but diverse menu at reasonable prices. It also helped that the reviews were strong. I am really happy with that decision. The staff and food were excellent, but what really struck me was the ice. Stir has some crazy ice machine that takes 300-pound blocks of ice and makes them into all kinds of shapes. You get a whole drink menu with descriptions of the type of ice in each drink. Ok, maybe it is a gimmick but I still thought it was cool, read more

So much fun! The food, drinks, and service are all outstanding. The open air bar features drink specials and a great happy hour. We enjoyed the raw oysters ( best we've had in TN) and sampled the tacos and sliders ($1.50 each at Happy Hour). All was excellent. Jerrod, Chris & Geoffrey all made us feel so special. Even the manager Fletcher Thompson, stopped by to introduce himself and welcome us. We will be back!!! read more

Decent food, cool atmosphere, high prices and spotty service. I don't know whether to give them a 3 or 4. It really depends what you are looking for. I'll go with the 4 and say this is a great place to come with 4+ people to socialize and have nice evening drinking and catching up. If you are a hungry party of 2 or 3 foodies and focused on the food itself you will leave feeling meh and ripped off. read more

Just ate brunch at Stir. When we first got seated, our waitress saw bird poop and a feather on the table and laughed and just flicked it off (onto my seat ewww). I ignored it and just brushed it off...I got an omelette which was pretty good, but the service was not good. My order and husbands order both came out wrong. They were taken back, but my order (omelette) took about 20-30 minutes to come out after sending it back. By the time I received it, everyone had already eaten and their plates were already taken. Then our bill wasn't comped / no coupons or other things were offered for our long wait. Paid about $35-40 for 2 small omelettes and not great service, and some bird poop flicking. read more

This was the best restaurant I have been to in a long time. Not only was the restuarant a lovely location, but the food, bar, and service was A+. If you are looking for a place to eat in Chattanooga I would recommend Stir! You will not be disappointed! read more

What a find! In town for the evening and hotel recommended for dinner. Service was terrific and the lively atmosphere was a perfect match to compliment the delicious salmon. Salmon fillets are a staple on most menus today but there is an art to its prep and cooking to enhance the flavor! Captured here in Stir's salmon entree! Recommend and will be returning here again in our next trip! read more

Went to Stir for the first time a couple of weeks ago. Very nice inside. After getting situated and glancing at the menu I decided to try an expensive whiskey drink, appetizer, and an entree so I planned to order one of the least expensive entrees to make room in the budget for all of it. First off the waitress gave this long spiel about their ice. I thought it was time consuming and I wanted it to end. Regardless I ordered a whiskey drink, the Whiskey Bramble, and it was very very good. Didn't taste like alcohol but definitely gave me a small buzz. My favorite kind of drink. Reminded me of St. Johns where I also loved the drinks. They were super busy this night so there were long waits in between waitress visits. At some point in here we ordered our appetizers and entrees. Next my oyster appetizer came. It was fried oysters casino which was basically fried oysters on a bacon mixture in the half shell. I love oysters but I thought the oyster flavor was over powered by the bacon mixture. So I ate the oysters by themselves and the bacon mixture afterwards and basically had 2 delicious appetizers, but perhaps that was not what was intended. Anyway it was good. Finally after a long long wait the waitress comes over and says they are out of my entree which was the "simply the best" fried shrimp and asks what did I want instead. I'm pretty sure it was 45 minutes since the appetizers were done. I thought wow that was a really long time to figure that out. And they still need to cook whatever entree I substitute! So I asked if I could have the Scallop and Shrimp White Cheddar Mac & Cheese at the same price as the shrimp i had ordered. She said no. Didn't even consider it or ask the manager. I was very annoyed they made no concession for either the long wait, or not telling me until 45 minutes later that they were out my entree. The waitress didn't ask the manager, she just flat out denied my request. So I said "Ok I'll go without an entree". Boy was I annoyed. I left without any dinner. Won't be back for a while. To summarize, great drinks, good appetizers if you improvise, no idea how the entrees taste, service absolutely sucks. read more
