Pricey for the small portion sizes. The goats were the highlight of our stay. The view is nice

Service was good, servers were very attentive and pleasant. The inside is just ok looking, although has lots of potential. The portions of food were a good size, but the taste was mediocre. Was hoping for better tasting food. read more

I'm gonna be completely honest. The best reason to come here is for either the chicken or the tacos. Obviously when you think BBQ the first thing you think about is not Tacos but alas the tacos here are super good. They make the tortillas in house and the toppings and sauces make it a complete package. read more

Food, Service and View was great! My wife and I enjoyed our afternoon in Chattanooga and Sugar's Ribs helped solidify our experience.

My favorite tacos in Chattanooga! Wonderful tasting brisket with a variety of delicious toppings. I always get an extra crema and red sauce because it is so yummy. And ALWAYS the spicy okra chips! Go in, order at the front and take your number, my number one spot to sit and eat is out on the upper patio where you can view downtown Chattanooga. They have heaters in the winter and cans in the summer. Don't forget to grab some cabbage, ring the bell and feed the goats! read more

So I came here today after a 7-hour drive from Mississippi. I am in town for a quick getaway weekend and my friend and I decided to stop here and grab some grub. Let me say the food here is fantastic ! I had the spicy pork tacos and the Mo Rockin Stew! Lemme tell yall- the tacos were light but dense, filled with flavor and portioned just right! I would however, have loved just a LIIIIIITLE more meat in my tacos. I also enjoyed the cornbread that came with my meal- so tasty! I tried several of the barbecue sauces and I loved the mustard, the Hot Lips and the original barbecue sauce. All of them were so delicious. I know there's tons of foods in Chattanooga to try but I wish I could go back to this spot immediately! And to top it off- I was able to arrive and be seated outside and enjoy my meal as the sun was setting over the city- chef's kiss! And I can't forget our amazing server, April. She was kind, polite, and so pleasant! I am excited to go back to Sugar's BBQ! read more

Sugar's Ribs - Spicy pork tacos with cornbread and Mo Rockin Stew. - Barbeque Near Me - Chattanooga, Tennessee

Huge selection of food! Large portions with a great price! First BBQ restaurant that me and my family ate at in the south!! Fabulous taste! The south did not disappoint! Totally recommend and worth the wait! They are very busy! So you may have to wait for your table. We waited 20 minutes! Great service! read more

Great Ribs! Also has chicken and while pieces were small, he got 4 pieces. Mac n Cheese is great, along with greens. Okra on grill is good. Order at counter when you get inside.and pay and they will bring to table. Self serve drinks. Great view on patio of Chattanooga and friendly goats outside to feed cabbage so ask inside if they have any. Great for couples and families with kids Don't forget to tip server as they work hard bringing food, sauces and checking for other needs. read more

This place is on the hill on the way out of Chattanooga. They even have goats grazing outside of the restaurant. Everything here was totally awesome! They were so much to choose from on the menu so it was really hard to decide. The smoked okra, the ribs, the jalapeño peppers, the different sauce choices made this a fun and unique experience. It's a small place so just get there at a good time to avoid any crowds. read more

Conveient on and off the expressway, but not your typical off ramp eatery. The place has a sixties vibe. There is a jukebox and checkered tablecloths. The place is clean and the workers polite. Step in at the door and place your order. You can buy some of the sauces to take home too. The menu is simple but good. The jalapeno poppers are excellent. They have tacos with beef brisket, chicken or pork which are excellent as well. Yes, they have a few beers too. I thought their food was great!! The view of the city from the patio is beautiful. They have heaters for cold nights. read more

Heading home and stumbled onto sugar ribs the Resturaunt has an amazing view and family vibe ambiance. The food is REALLY good! If there is a wait. Just wait lol don't leave without it. The ribs were fall off the bone good says him. Lol . The baked chicken is very good. Pinto beans and Mac and cheese very good. I'm just disappointed in the banana pudding. The jalapeño poppers were amazing! Other than that. 5 stars. read more

Goats.view, and finger licking bbq... can't go wrong. between the juicy rotisserie chicken sandwich that fulfills the hunger cravings of a picky 9 year old boy, to the spicy pork tacos topped with some sweet and goopy bbq sauce and dash of the comeback sauce, there's something for all the cravings! read more

Jalapeño poppers with cheese was awesome slightly different cheese. Tried the bbq sampler for 2, again great flavor some char on meat. Also had ribs meat fell off the bone. Highly recommend. And the goats are cute. Beautiful scenery. read more

I've been here once with friends and family. We went because everyone said the place was great. It wasn't. It was expensive for BBQ and the food was meh. The best part about it is the view, and the goats. Don't bother. There are much better places in Chattanooga. read more

Lovey view! Ordering was easy. You order and then find a seat. They have indoor and outdoor eating. Again the view is lovely. The food was really good. Lots of food and lots of flavor. Several sauces to choose from. The meat is definitely smoked and fall off the bone good. You won't go wrong here! read more

Beautiful view of Chattanooga from this location. The meats are good, and the sauces are good, but not exceptional. From photos the cornbread looks great but after biting into it, I regretted ordering. Cornbread is VERY dry and flavorless, had to smother it in bbq sauce to stomach it. read more

Restaraunt, while clean inside, is a bit tired and dated, but there is a great view from the outdoor seating area. They do things their own way, sometimes working to their advantage, sometimes, not so much, at least in my view. Let's start with the brisket, it's chopped, nice smoke, but it's chopped, and that for me, that just doesn't work. Their greens are clearly their own recipe, with some unique ingredients, but it's light on vinegar, and while they have vinegar available to add, it to me is interesting, but also comes up a bit short. Tried the smoked sausage and the ribs, and they were delicious and on point. Corn bread was another item where they took some creative liberties, and it surely worked for them. Lots of wonderful selections on the bbq sauces, both variety and quality, all worth trying. You can count on getting good service from the very helpful staff. It's not Chattanooga's best BBQ spot, but it is good enough to give it a try, who knows, maybe you've been waiting all your life for chopped brisket ? read more

Yummmm yum yum! Sugars ribs is a great spot for families or dates. It has a beautiful view and great service to pair with its wonderful ribs and sides. I loved every dish I tried. The fact that the sauces are right on the table and there are 5 to choose from is a huge win for me. No need to be stingy on your sauce even though the meat doesn't even need it! I loved the fried okra crisps and Mac and cheese as well. Next time I'm back in town I'll definitely be at sugars again! read more

Wife and i have known about this place for a long time. We have driven by it for years, never seeing more than a couple of vehicles in the parking lot. Maybe we just caught them on a bad day. We'll never go back. - Way overpriced for the small portions -Food was served cold. -Poor service from 2 servers who spent the whole time on their phones. There were only 2 couples seated. Another table, which arrived after us, just got up and left. -The views were nice a sunset. This place advertises HEAVILY on all media forms. I guess they survive on people passing through town, good location. Please don't take this establishment as an example of Chattanooga restaurants. read more

Solid 4 stars. Ribs were moist and tasty. Tacos were small think 3 bites maybe 2. Fillings in the tacos were totally dried out. Pass on the tacos. The sauces are great but a bit watered down. Big fan of the habanero jalapeño sauce. The view makes the trip worth it. read more

Really enjoyed Sugar's Ribs. It was recommended by a lady staying at the same hotel. She raved about Sugar's Ribs. She told me it was so good that she and her husband make a 2 hour drive just for the ribs and tacos! Sugar's Ribs was our last stop on our visit to Chattanooga. The ribs were fall off the bone tender, the okra chips were definitely different and very yummy. Also enjoyed the vinegar coleslaw since I stay away from mayo. The corn muffins were melt in your mouth down right good! And who can resist the awesome view of Chattanooga from the patio. I did not try their really really hot barbecue sauce, but it was clear that it is really really hot. I typically like mustard base bar sauce and found their mustard base somewhat watery, so I wasn't a fan, but the other tomato based sauces were very good. It was also nice to have food recommendations from regulars while we waited in line to place our order. Everyone was super friendly. Will definitely return and try something different on the menu! read more

Some restaurants are know for their food. Other for ambiance. Stop by Sugar's for the views. Overlooking downtown Chattanooga one can watch the sunset over the mountain. Other than the views being spectacular don't expect too much from the bbq. I had the pork butt, with a beer, cookie a d premium sides dropping $25 plus tip. The bbq was just ok. Little flavor on the pork butt but not too much flavor. Mac and cheese was just ok. The okra though was spot on--good char and great flavor. Not bad bbq but not great for $25. Next time I would order a cheaper entre and soak in the views. read more

Sugar ribs wasn't too bad. The meat was very tender, the sides were blah. The also need more adult beverage options. The service at the counter was good. The lady walking around helping people, was doing her job. Wouldn't say that she was overly friend, but she was helpful and that counts for a lot. Would I go back, meh, only if it's all that was available. read more

I got the ribs. You should get the ribs. I was visiting Chattanooga and someone recommended Sugars for BBQ. I went and tried it and it was good advice. The view is awesome and the ribs were some of the best I have ever had. They have a variety of bbq sauce to put on the meat but in my opinion it's a waste of time. You won't need it. The meat is so good on its own. Also, the sauces are very vinegary which I think is a local thing and may not appeal to all. I tried some of the tacos. Brisket was my favorite. They are better than what I've gotten at some Mexican restaurants. Go to Sugars. Get ribs. Enjoy the view. read more

Sugar's Ribs - Ribs. Cornbread. Vinegar slaw. - Barbeque Near Me - Chattanooga, Tennessee

The meats were the best part at Sugar's Ribs. Ribs were fall apart goodness and had a good smoky flavor. They also had about 5-6 sauces. I made a combo sauce out of their Hot Lips and Carolina Red sauce. It was zesty and spicy! We didn't really care for the mac n cheese. Probably the worse mac n cheese ever. I don't recommend it at all. It seriously seemed like we just got some pasta and they topped it with some shredded cheese that was melted on top. Banana pudding wasn't anything special either with crispy nilla wafers. If we eat here again, I'd go for the potatoes or okra as my sides instead. Just a tip if you're going here, you place your order at the counter and they give you a number. You find your own table inside or outside, if available. They're actually quite busy and sometimes, you may have to stand around a bit until someone can clear a table for you. Also, at the end your server actually brings out hot towels for you to clean your hands. That was nice! read more

Sugar's Ribs - Barbeque Near Me - Chattanooga, Tennessee

They are known for their ribs and the ribs never were tasty and fall off the bone tender! Loved it!!

I traveled here today from Acworth Georgia to try it out. I have always wanted to try it as I have passed by it many times traveling on I-24. I think everything was very tasty. I had the ribs with the pinto beans and they were on point. I also ordered the poppers and they were delicious as well. Sitting on the porch this time of year is great and I will definitely be eating here again. You order when you first walk in and there is no way to know if your server will actually get the tip. Very nice environment and looking forward to getting back there. read more

Came here with a party of 8 on our last day in Tennessee. The view on the patio was gorgeous, if you can get a seat out there. The food was excellent & extremely filling. I ordered the brisket plate. I loved the variety of sauces provided for us. The hot lips was very hot! Everyone enjoyed their food and afterwards we went out back and fed the goats. It was a nice area to sit, talk and get a good look at the view after the hefty meal. read more

My fiancée found this place for us while we were coming back from from a whiskey tour and boy oh boy, am I glad that she did! This place was certainly a highlight of our trip. When you come in, there's a small area where you wait in line to place your order. It was quite congested when we came in, but it's worth the wait. I ordered the brisket with Mo's rock'n stew and a brisket taco on the side and my fiancée got a full rack of ribs and roasted jalapeños. Their drink selection was pretty limited to just a couple of different beers so we both went with canned root beers (still can't beat that). They gave us a number sign and we picked our own table out on the balcony. I have to say, it's amazing to have BBQ at a restaurant with a view this beautiful! Our server was extremely nice and and explained the difference between their (I believe 7) different sauces, all of which we tried and each was delicious in its own right. When our food arrived, you could smell how good it was. My brisket was both soft and tender but with a nice crisp, smokey outside that held it together. I covered it in their Carolina sauce and their hottest green sauce. The mix between smokey, juicy meat, the vinegar from the Carolina sauce and the spice of the green sauce brought this dish to the next level. My brisket taco had that same flavorful meat but in combination with a little cheesy queso, fresh vegetal taste from their salsa, a touch of sweetness and vinegar from the pickled radishes and then comes across with acidity and cream from a lime crema. This taco is so delicately balanced that even with all those toppings, you can still pick out each component and how it adds to the overall whirlwind of flavor that it has going on. Even with everything I've written already, the thing that I was most surprised about was the stew. In fact, I don't know if my words can do it justice, but I'll try. This really feels more like a soup than a stew because it is pretty light but it packs a really flavorful punch. The broth of this stew is a chicken broth, and chicken is the meat in it as well. It has perfectly cut chunks of meat that are incredibly tender. Tied in with it are a variety of beans, corn and spices. But what really sets this stew apart is the strong cilantro flavor that emanates from it, but without overpowering the whole dish. It's exceptionally well crafted if you like cilantro. Onto my fiancée's dish. Her ribs were fall off the bone tender. Unfortunately, for me, I like ribs to be tender but able to stay on the bone. She on the other hand loves them falling apart, so they were perfect. The taste of the ribs were also on point! They were well seasoned with a great smoke flavor and we both agreed that they went best with the classic sauce. She also loved the roasted jalapeños but the spice of the peppers was sadly baked out, but still super flavorful. We finished with a couple of their cookies, which were a nice, cheap little after dinner sweet, nothing fancy. Overall, we were big fans of everything we got but definitely go in knowing the stew is heavy in cilantro, the ribs are fall off the bone, and the jalapeños don't have heat. Also, there's a bunch of goats and they're really cool. read more

The food was delicious. Great bbq with lots of good side options. Loved the pinto beans and variety of sauce. We were sad because we saw no goats but when we rang the bell they came running. So cute and hilarious! read more

Food was mediocre. Service was good. Sauce was not impressive. It was cool to feed the goat outside.

Wow this was a really good meal! We got the 1/2 rack of ribs and they were cooked perfectly. Also got the wood smoked okra which was a pleasant surprise. If we're ever back in Chattanooga we'll definitely come back. Oh and don't forget to try get a table outside... awesome view! read more

Daaang Son!! "GOAT" Be sure to see the goats! This place is the GOAT!!! (Greatest of all time). You have to stop here and get you some BBQ. Anytime I travel south and head this direction I can't pass up this place. My Vacation started off right because I started with this delicious BBQ. I only wonder when sitting on the deck where I could have glanced towards the Goonzquad Headquarters!! It may have been located up on one of those mountains. Billy and Simon should order some BBQ from this place and post it on their show. https://youtube.com/c/goonzquad. read more

Great bbq joint. Delicious goodness. I got the half ribs plate with grilled okra. Ribs nice and meaty. Large portion was a bit much for me. Grilled okra has a nice smoky flavor. My BIL got the okra chips- they were fabulous. Lots of sauces to choose from but my meat was so good, there was no need to add more. That says a-lot right there. Super friendly staff. If your hands are saucy after your meal, ask for a hot towel. Nice touch! read more

Not only are the pulled pork sandwiches at Sugar's delicious but the service is friendly, warm and inviting. Our server was a delightful beautiful blonde woman with enchanting blue eyeshadow who treated us like long lost family.She mentioned a previous reviewer called her a "trashy blonde with blue eyeshadow " and I told her to own the title proudly.

Was craving some bbq and saw this place nearby! Ordered the food to take out I should have taken the first red flag warning when the girl who took our order said a full slab of ribs with sides would be ten minutes. The food lacks seasoning all the way around the ribs were very strange with tons of cartilage in them and the corn bread had onions, peppers in it which was totally disgusting. All and all the meal was a 2/10 the only saving grace was the bbq sauce that came on the side. read more
