JB is absolutely amazing! I only had one experience with him, but his warmth and charisma left such a lasting impression. He greeted me with such genuine kindness and made me feel so welcome, like I'd been coming there for years. It's rare to meet someone so naturally personable and attentive, and it really made my visit memorable. The food and service were fantastic, but JB's welcoming energy truly stood out. Personally one of my favorite spots in town!

It's a little pricey as compared to similar restaurants in Chattanooga, but the food IS delicious and the service is good. It has a quiet ambiance where you can easily hold a conversation without having to shout - an atmosphere that's sometimes difficult to find.

Officially in my Top Two favorite restaurants of all time! Really! We returned Sunday night for a fourth visit after dining at Sidetrack on Thursday night. Two years in a row we visited Chattanooga for Chattajack and ate twice each year at this culinary delight! Tonight did not disappoint! Annalisa, from Tupelo of all places, a fellow Mississippian, took excellent care of us. (Service is top notch always here!) We loaded up again! Starters: Whipped Feta with House-made Pitas, Crispy Okra Chips, and Truffle Fried Mushrooms (3 varieties) and Rosemary. Every bite sensational! Salads: Gem Caesar (1st) and Grilled Gem (3rd) - had the Wedge (2nd) on Thursday. All excellent. Ranked here is our preferences when we return. Opted for Fresh Fish: we both got the Pan Roasted American Red Snapper. Winner! Side: Wood Grilled Okra - perfection! Ending: French Press Velo Decaf coffee with real cream and brown sugar cubes. Side note: started off with a personal tea pot of hot Harney & Sons Japanese Sencha Green Tea with lemon wedges and honey. Even their hot tea tastes amazing! Do they put us under some sort of spell when we walk through the door?! Grand Slam every single time we dine here. What more can I say???

Despite a chair not designed for my "sturdy" bottom, the ambience from the personalized greeting at the host stand, despite never have been her before, to the pleasant dining area it was pleasant. We were there on a Wednesday evening and a sizeable crowd developed. We fit into the crowd as most seemed to be from the baby boom generation. The service and the food were very good. We will be back soon, with some of our friends who are our grandchildrens' age - this is too good a restaurant not to share.

Rick was our waiter he did a great job explaining items on the menu. Made it easier deciding what we wanted to order as everything looked great. We are celebrating our 49th anniversary.

This is a perfect local place where you can find awesome service and food! We made a reservation because we were told that this place fills up quickly and they were right. We decided to order wine and the truffle fried mushrooms for appetizer. Our waitress, Annalise was so kind, funny and personable! She made the experience even better! The mushrooms were so delicious! For our entrees we ordered the red snapper, grilled okra, charred gem lettuce salad and the salmon bisque. We also ordered shrimp and grits to go. All of the dishes were delicious! So much flavor and I loved the presentation of the dishes. Inside does have a dim light ambiance to give a more intimate atmosphere and they have many tables and booths. The bar area is also very nice. I can't wait to come back and try more dishes!

While visiting Chattanoogo we went to SideTrack for a Sunday brunch. It was fabulous, such a cool spot, neat clean and a terrific menu. Our server was so friendly and right on top of things, everyone was pleased. I had the chicken and waffles, they were tasty, chicken was not spicy just right. Waffle was a perfect size, just enough. The biscuits and gravy had an ample amount of sausage in it and the biscuits were big and fluffy. I ordered scrambled eggs with cheese, that was made exactly how I like it. The French toast was delicious as well. We also ordered grits, bacon and French fry's, all very good. Everything we ordered was delicious and this place would be a definite spot to return. The afternoon was perfect, fun relaxing and delicious food. I highly recommend this place.
