Walking into Hot Rods 50's Diner feels like stepping back to a simpler time. The checkerboard…read morefloors, chrome trim, vintage signs, and oldies on the speakers set the mood right away, and the place doesn't feel kitschy. It feels like a real neighborhood diner that happens to love the 1950s. I ordered the hog tenderloin sandwich and it did not disappoint. The tenderloin was pounded thin, breaded, and fried golden. It hung well past the edges of the bun, which is how a proper tenderloin should look. The breading was crispy and well seasoned, and the pork inside stayed tender and juicy. With simple toppings like pickles, onion, and a little mustard, it tasted like a classic Midwest-style sandwich done right. The fries on the side were hot and crisp, and the portion was big enough that I didn't need dessert, though I'm glad I didn't skip the milkshake. Service was friendly and relaxed, the way it should be at a diner. Our server checked in without hovering and kept the drinks topped off. Prices are fair for the quality and the amount of food you get. **Bottom line:** If you go to Hot Rods 50's Diner, get the hog tenderloin sandwich. Add the fun atmosphere, friendly service, and fair prices, and it's a spot I'll gladly come back to.

The waitress that took care of the table was great. The drinks were refilled and taken care of without asking.

Will return for breakfast again before leaving the city. Definitely recommend.

And rather than the staff losing their jobs ,one of the waitresses, Lisa Coppock bought the place and retained all the staff. This place has only gotten better than before, Lisa got rid of the ice cream machine that was constantly broken down, she now has Scooped ice cream for making sundaes and banana splits even better and fresher. The place is the ultimate Diner experience, she has alot of regular customers, including myself that enjoys a great country breakfast. From omelets made to order, grits,oatmeal, breakfast sandwiches to my favorite the country breakfast consisted of 2 eggs to order,biscuits and gravy, meat of choice and either potatoes or tots ,sliced tomatoes or other sides and never ending coffee . They also now have daily basis specials for lunch and dinner. The burgers are made from fresh meat, and not frozen patties. The chicken salad and other sandwiches are made fresh too. If you're looking for Mom's home cooking this is the place ! Come by and meet Lisa and tell her ,Rick sent you!

We did not have any drinks but the offerings cover the local, standard and top shelf tastes. The staff is even invited to events to learn about food and drink parings. Lunch was grab and eat. It was very quiet becasue we were well past the lunch rush and before the early dinners. I needed something more than a salad or bowl even though several were tempting. Not always a burger guy, but a bison burger will draw my attention. You don't see bison much in TN. Delicious. Juicy enough I needed an extra napkin. The second reason I chose the burger was for the carrot fries. I don't ever remember having them before or even seeing them. Their good, no reason they can't be a replacemnt to traditional fries and they don't "sag" as much as sweet potato fries. In my case, the kitchen put potato fries on the plate rather than carrot fries. Our server, Daniel noticed it and brought out a separate plate with proper side. Great service there. Another upgrade is that seasoning on the fries. There are several different ones and they differ byt the dish and fry. It was fun to compare the difference on the plate. So, cazzy's is not at diner but a fine gastropub.

We waited about 30 minutes for food that wasn't even worth coming there for. Fries were soggy and no salt. Elk burger was okay and better than the "Old Fashioned". Both burgers had no seasoning at all the cheese made them better. Waited forever to pay. Don't waste your time here. Go to any other diner you'll have a better experience. Also smelled of cigarettes in the doorway.

We had to try Aretha Frankenstein's while we were in Chattanooga because I kept hearing about the…read morepancakes, and now I completely understand the hype. My husband is the breakfast person in our marriage, so this was absolutely his kind of place. We ordered the famous pancakes with their Blue Mélange blueberry butter, along with scrambled eggs, bacon, potatoes, and a biscuit. First of all, these pancakes are THICK. Not "slightly fluffy" thick. These things have some HEIGHT to them. But somehow they were still soft and fluffy inside instead of being heavy or dry. The blueberry butter on top was such a good touch too. Sweet, creamy, a little fruity, and completely different from just throwing regular butter and syrup on a pancake. The rest of the breakfast was classic and hearty. The scrambled eggs were good, the bacon was crispy, and the biscuit was huge. This is definitely one of those places where you should come hungry because the portions are not playing with you. I also loved the personality of the restaurant. It doesn't feel polished or cookie-cutter at all. It has this funky, quirky, old-school Chattanooga character that makes eating there feel like part of the trip instead of just another breakfast stop. And coming from someone who is NOT usually running toward pancakes or breakfast food, I still had to keep reaching over to my husband's plate. The pancakes were easily the standout for me. Definitely worth trying at least once while you're in Chattanooga, especially if you're a breakfast person. Come hungry, order the pancakes, and DO NOT skip that blueberry butter.

I have honestly never experienced this level of customer service. Talk about going above and beyond! And the veggie burger and fries were absolutely delicious! I am just so grateful to Cody for his kindness, thoughtfulness, and incredible effort to make things right. This is how you build loyal customers and create an amazing experience!

It's expensive at any level. Food is pricey and beer is astronomical. The quality of the food is…read morevery very good. The beers are just OK. The portions are generous BUT at this price they would need to be. It's fairly quiet inside and you will listen to screaming children outside in the play area. Burgers came out slightly overcooked and, for a mid week meal past the rush hour, the meals (2) took quite some time to show up prompting the waitress to apoligize for the wait times. The restaurant doesnt provide the severs with trays to carry food so pick someone with large arms that can balance or wait for food to be delivered in relays. There is no dessert menu even though they sell desserts (Management being cheap). New servers & greeters every time I go in, points to staff turnover.
