Fresh, friendly and more then enough. I'm a stickler for soft fresh bread and it didn't disappoint. The fried mushrooms were flavorful and juicy and the onion rings I got the large but the small would have been more than enough; fresh and tasty. The burger and the steak hoagie well let's just say ALL juicy. I'll be back! read more

Raised prices, slow staff, saw food preparers outside with same gloves on they make food with. Place was clean, just gone downhill. Food was ok read more

Service was terrible, waited for 30 minute, after I ordered they were calling everyones order but mine. They were very unorganized the girl working the front counter was confused she did not know what was going on,I finally gave her my order receipt back and told her to keep the food and the money, they somehow forgot my food order or gave it to someone at the drive thru window. Have ate there a lot in the past but never again it has changed a lot in the last few years. Don't eat there find another sandwich shop. read more

Excellent menu with various choices. Management is very efficient. Clean dining area. Food was served hot and promptly during peak lunch hours on a Monday afternoon. read more

Ankar's Hoagies 58 - the interior of a restaurant - New American Near Me - Chattanooga, Tennessee

The only thing worth ordering at Ankars is the steak sack. The subs have like two thin slices of meat the bread to meat ratio is way off. not worth trying. read more

Just terrible service. Order on line and still waited 45 minutes, people would walk up and order and leave before me. I had to argue with them just so I could get my order. Just terrible service. Food was cold read more

1st time here, wanted an Italian style sub so I ordered a #1hogie. Did not realize it was served hot, so when I got it out of the wrapper, the bread was chewy, and lettuce was getting soft. Asked to add oil and vinegar and they did not. Wanted to try the onion rings since they claimed home made. Was maybe expecting a batter dipped style, but their way is a thick cracker crumb style, did not like. Not much meat and cheese to bread ratio, should have gone to Publix or jersey mikes instead. read more

First we love Ankar's. My family has ate here and the Hixson location more times than I can count. Food has always been good, onion rings are simply the best you can get now that Nikki,s is closed. We have ordered Steak n a sacs, gyros, burgers, falafel, veggie burgers, chicken & pretty much most of the riders and subs at varies times. Today we happened to go into the 58 Hwy location and it was busy as usual. Wait time was a little longer than normal and the orders being called were all over the board so it was hard to tell when ours would be up. Finally got our order which was almost put on tray wrong like the previous two orders were, it was awful. I'm so sad that it has declined like this. We watched a couple of the workers fill orders with no gloves on, one was scratching his head over the food and then putting things in bags(thankfully not ours but.... Yike). The steak n a sac was being microwaved so when we got it open the bread began to harden and was chewy, the falafel was fried to hard and the tzatziki was not tzatziki... it tasted like a blue cheese dressing?? Or it was spoiled I had to throw it away it scared me. The onion rings didn't disappoint though so there's that. I don't think we will come back to this location. I'll stick with Hixson once I get over this meal. Do better!! Please. read more

I gave them a 2 star because I've been ordering from them for years and it's usually very good. Today, The steak in the sac bread was so hard i couldn't bite it. Looked like mold was on the bread. The steak was so hot it was like it was cooked in hot sauce or something. I couldn't eat it. it was a waste of money. read more

Have always loved their steak in a sack! They also have the best onion rings! Disappointed today. The Pita bread they use for their steak sack crumbles! read more

I am sad to say I have eaten at Ankar's 58 for the last time. I love Ankar's but tonight's service and lack of concern regarding my experience or the temperature of my food was too much. I placed my order at 7:21 PM and at 7:46 I had to go ask about my order after noticing all four employees just standing around gabbing. When I asked, the girl at the counter pointed to my sandwich on a tray and told me she was waiting on my fries. The other girl then asked the cook if the fries were ready to which he turned around and placed the fries 'they were waiting on' on the tray with my semi warm sandwich. No apologies, and they went back to gabbing. 5 minutes later the guy 2 orders behind me had to do the same to get his food. The fries were warm, the sandwich semi warm, the wait 26 minutes and would have been longer had I not went to ask, and the service was terrible. read more

Rueben in 90% sauerkraut and 10% meat. Use mustard and mayo not traditional 1000 Island lime dressing. Pita is frozen type. Submarine not much better. Go to Publix and get a sandwich for same price and full of meat. Anyone giving this place a 4 star or more doesn't get out much. read more

I'm not sure what people see in this place. I tried the one in Chattanooga several times with similar results. Not quite sure how the food which should be flavorful, is so bland. They have a variety of items but don't t seem to be terribly good at any of them except for salads. It could be your cup of tea but I'm done. read more

Ankar's Hoagies 58 - a sandwich and french fries - New American Near Me - Chattanooga, Tennessee

See all

My coworker ranted and raved about this place so I had high hopes. I ordered the Gyro and hummus. The hummus was very good, but the gyro was very disappointing. You get lamb strips here, and it's not fresh. I would never order the lamb here again. I'm giving a three star because the hummus was so good that I'm guessing I just didn't order the right thing for a sandwich. read more

Ankars in Hixson is ALWAYS awesome. Steak in sack meat is always steaming hot and juicy. This is second time we have gotten steak n sack at Hwy 58 and very disappoited. Steak n sack meat extremely dry and cold. I think it had been cooked hours before and just kept warm. Will not visit hwy 58 again. read more

Say goodbye to Ankar's Hoagies on Hwy 58! Although there have been no restrictions on restrictions on dine-in service for a month and a half, Ankar's on Hwy. 58 chooses to not offer this service. I haven't had their food for about 3 months! We decided to go through the drive-thru and order our usual steak in a pita and onion rings. By time we got home, 10 or 12 minutes later, our sandwiches were cold, the onion rings were soggy and the pitas were tough, hard and broken! Needless to say, I had to throw out $23 worth of food! A bit pricey for for 2 sandwiches and 2 orders of onion rings. I will never darken their doors again! read more

I've never had a bad experience at Ankar's. The owner is extremely friendly & the staff he has on hand have always been professional & a pleasure to do business with. My personal favorites are the chicken parmesan rider with cheese while the gyro is a close second.The streak in a sack & burgers are awesome as well. read more

I love this place! Onion rings are amazing! Love the mushrooms! And I haven't had a bad meal there yet! Always seems packed so I know I'm not the only one that loves it! read more

It was ok. I wanted the steak in a sack, it was called something like that. It was average at best. No flavors stood out and the fries were frozen, not fresh cut. A bit pricy for the quality of the food. Wish I could have given them better review. read more

Very friendly folks working the counter here. The owner had a big presence too and displayed excellent customer service. This is the kind of business that I like to spend my money at. I had the Club Sub and it was very good. My wife and I split an order of onion rings which were excellent. My wife loved her falafel sandwich. We had three kids with us that all got kids meals which they liked. We took our food to the Riverpark for a picnic. The four of us could have sworn that the counter lady told us that ketchup for the three orders of fries that the kids ordered were in the bag but we found there was none when we got to our destination. The kids didn't enjoy the ketchupless frenchy fries. I would give five stars but went wanting the Cuban sandwich that I normally get at the Brainard store. I didn't realize that the menu here is a good bit smaller and does not have a Cuban. Still, this is a great place. read more

It's local. It's family run. It's damn good. I'm partial the Gyro, the Falafel and of course the best onion rings in town. Rather than hit the fast food joint, make your car turn into Ankar's on Hwy 58. You will be glad you did. read more

I've eaten at the other Ankar locations and this one was ok, but not as good as the one off Brainerd Rd. I do like that they have a drive-through, that's a big plus. I ordered a turkey and cheese hoagie and a cheeseburger and fries, well done. They were good. I wish the hoagie had some pickles or something to add some zing. It was just kind of plain. The bread tasted a little off than the usual bread I've had there. The burger was good. I had a taste of it from my friend that I ordered it for. Very hefty. The fries were good too, even though they weren't house-made. Just some frozen crinkle fries, but they did get them well done. I'll definitely go there again, just for the sake of the drive-through and the friendliness of the staff. That gets and A+ in my book. read more

If I lived in Chattanooga, this would be a go-to for me. Way to clean to be considered a dive. Food was great, but the atmosphere was so much more. It was my first time there, and we stopped in bc the airport was only a few minutes a way, but you can tell this is a precious family owned business. It seemed there were 3-4 generations there on a Friday evening.... Many many regulars. They know each other. They know the kids that come in. I heard one of the owners say to a group of ladies that came in, "What is going on? Is today Friday already!" The food was fresh and there were a lot of choices. It's not fancy, but it's good! read more

I've traveld to aboit 40 of the 50 states in the US. I've lived in Texas, North Carolina, Virginia, Ohio, Illinois and Tennessee. Ankar's by far has the BEST onion rings ever! Their hoagies are pretty darn good too! read more

Long time classic for the Hwy 58 area of Chattanooga. Old school perfection in the sandwich/Greek world. My personal favorite combo is a steak and sack with onion rings and a cherry limeade! This place hasn't changed since it opened and that's a great thing! A family owned business that likes to give the local high school and college kids a starting job. One of the owners is always there and everyone is super friendly read more

Their hoagies and subs are very yummy when made and eaten fresh. The cheeseburger generally turns out squishy and soggy however. I feel like their cheesecakes they sell arent really from the cheesecake factory, like some of them claim. read more

Ankar's has been around for many, many years. I've eaten here at least 500 times, and the food is always spectacular. Absolutely the best onion rings anywhere! read more

cheese hoagie is literally better than sex! I had one every since day I was pregnant. I don't know what he does but its a CHEESE paradise in your mouth. read more

Love the variety of food, and it's all good! Onion rings and fries are a great compliment for all the food. Falafel rider is great with the sauce on the side so it doesn't get soggy. Or, the roast beef rider with provolone added. read more

Just drove from home to get some friday night dinner and pulled in at 8:40 only to have the lights turned off while pulling in. Sign says closes at 9:00 but this is not true. Apparently closes at 8:40. Really like this place but now they are on the list of "just keep driving". FAIL read more

Great food . Great service . This man knows how to run a restaurant . All of my out of town clients want to come here !!

Ordered roast Beef rider...it was very bland to say the least. I see why there is hot sauce on every table....without it the food has little flavor. read more

Food is good. Staff is friendly. Location seems consistently busy. Will visit again for a basic sandwich.

I think they have the best onion rings in town! Generous, tasty meals.

Employees smoking by the door, sticky tables, nothing like the downtown location. Go there instead

Yum! This place doesn't look like much, but they're hiding deliciousness inside! I had the gyro with onion rings, and my hubby had steak in a sack with fries. Both were magically delicious. The gyro had the perfect amount of meat, onions, and sauce. Their onions rings are perfectly battered and fried to crispy awesomeness. The steak in a sack is well seasoned steak, peppers, and onions in a pita type 'sack' with cheese and mayo or whatever you'd like. Fries... Ah, the fries. The thick cut steak fries of your dreams. Crispy, and potato-ey. Yum. Coming back, most definitely! read more

My favorite cheat-day lunch! The onion rings are the best in town and their club rider sandwich is so tasty and full of juicy meat! Slightly more expensive than a jimmy johns or subway after sides and a drink but worth it because the quality of food is 100% better and they put a mound of meat on your sandwich not just 2 slices! read more

I have been eating at Ankars for the past 10 years! Not one time have I been disappointed with any area of this business! Best food and service! They have never in 10+ years, messed up my order at the drive thru! The falafels are so good and I love the onion rings and fried mushrooms! Great place to eat! read more

Always Friendly, Good, Fresh Food. I love the fact that it is family owned ad been around for such a long time. It's a great place to get a beer and a sandwich. read more

A long standing local favorite. All three locations are good. Expect a crowd at lunch, but they get the orders out quickly. A hoagie shop, but much more. Extensive menu of salads, sandwiches, and plates. I'll have a steak-in-sack with provolone cheese, onion rings and a Dr. Pepper please! read more
