    The Farm Hash was delicious. I didn't care for the peppers though. I thought it offset the dish…read morebut that's probably just me. The Watermelon Wake Up was super good.

    On our last day in the city, we stopped here for breakfast. While we were seated promptly , it took…read moreapproximately 15-20 minutes and several walk-bys for our server to acknowledge our presence. As we were getting ready to leave, the server came to our table. She stated that the sections had been changed and she did not realize we were her customers. She was very apologetic and offered us free drinks and a $5 off coupon. 5 stars for the attempt to correct the problem and the casual ambiance. However...that's where the positives end. We ordered the million dollar bacon and Purple Haze (lavender lemonade) to start us off. The drink was fine but the bacon was sickening sweet and just wasn't what I was expecting nor what I wanted in a piece of bacon. I ordered the Farmhouse hash and my guy ordered the traditional breakfast. We both agreed that our food was anything but special and instantly regretted our choice to stop here. Our potatoes were undercooked and had a strange aftertaste. I ate the majority of mine but my guy stopped eating after a few bites. We are particular about sending food back and after the uncomfortable beginning of our service, we definitely did not feel comfortable doing so. In fact, we didn't feel comfortable the rest of our time there and even remarked that we would have fared better at Waffle House. Maybe this was an off morning. I'm not sure. Don't take my word. Try them for yourself and make your own judgement. We plan to return to the area soon but will not be returning to this restaurant.

    Best restaurant in Chattanooga…read more Long post alert! If you don't want to read it all, here's what you need to know: * Spectacular authentic New Orleanian cuisine * Deliciously inventive cocktails * Top notch service with genuine, kind people My family and I went to Neutral Ground today for brunch. We have been extremely cautious about going to restaurants since the pandemic hit, and this was probably only the 6th time we've sat down in a restaurant since this all started. We called on our way to see if we needed reservations to sit outside (still haven't sat inside since last May). They said no, and when we pulled up, we saw that they had already set up the table for us, complete with a small fire pit to keep us warm. They are very careful about COVID. Everyone is required to wear a mask, temp checks at the door, and they take your first name and number for contact tracing, all of which was very appreciated. The ambiance is very trendy, kind of like a modern take on a high end 60s bar. Excellent drink menu as well, and they are happy to make anything for you. Ok, the food. We ordered the standard breakfast for our three kids, which consisted of scrambled eggs, hash browns, smoky bacon and creamy grits. The staff went ahead and split up the meal evenly on three small plates, and it was more than enough for them. My kids are fairly picky eaters, and they are every bite! If you have small kids, you know how rare that is! Speaking of kids, the restaurant is very kid friendly. My wife got the breakfast sandwich, which had spicy sausage and eggs on an English muffin served with plantain and sweet potato chips. It was amazing! The sausage tasted slightly like chorizo, but with a flavor all its own. I ordered the catfish and grits (pictured), and it was perfect. The catfish tenders were fried perfectly; crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside. The grits were fluffy and creamy with a melt in your mouth sauce on top. All garnished with thinly sliced fresh jalapeños to give it an extra depth of flavor and spice. SO GOOD. We got some apple cider donuts and strawberry hand pies for dessert and both were truly great. The donuts were soft and sweet, while the pies were flaky and light. What the chef is doing at Neutral Ground is extremely unique in Chattanooga: his food is authentic to New Orleans, yet he makes it his own. This is the third time I've eaten here, and the first time we have all sat down in the restaurant. We love many of the restaurants in town, but in my opinion this one can't be beat for its combination of service, ambiance and food.

    Two friends and I saw the menu, came in a few days later, and ended up ordering every single item…read moreoff the menu except for one dish (which I'll have to come back for). It was all so delicious and AUTHENTIC. The Gulf Shrimp Salad was the appetizer I was least excited about but ended up enjoying the most! Super fresh and light. The Bahn-Mi was authentic and the NOLA Hot Sausage felt classic and tasty (if you haven't had a Po-Boy before this is a GREAT introduction), but the Crispy Oyster Mushroom really took home the award for our favorite Po-Boy, another pleasant surprise! The broth on the Brisket Meatball Yakamein was otherworldly, but the real show stoppers of the night were the West African Red-Red and the Shrimp & Grits. All in all, you can't go wrong here. The wait staff is with Proof Bar and Incubator and they were incredibly welcoming, fun, and made an effort to help move us to a bigger table because of all the food we ordered. 10/10 will be back. For reference, we went on a Wednesday at 6pm and were able to get seated upstairs (rain prevented sitting on the welcoming patio outside) and they already had reservations lined up which is always a good sign. As someone who lived on MLK for a few years, I can't say how excited I am to have an option like this so close by and with more than convenient hours, especially for later eating!
