    My face, sauce was so good that it's on my face

    Best barbecue I've ever had in my life, the owners were very considerate by asking how my meal is going on. Pretty good ambiance, could smell it from 29 feet away

    Daily Special! Pulled pork, 2sides (potato salad not pictured) and a drink!

    Joyce was super friendly! Amazing food! Super quick service!! We will be back on our next trip to east ridge!

    Nice outside patio area

    The barbecue was very tasty and not bad for a strip mall chain barbecue place. Would definitely go back again when traveling.

    This is exactly why I love Yelp! We found this spot on a road trip and wanted something local. Holy…read moreBBQ spot... this was a gem. We got several platters (chicken and pork) and various sides. Everything was so good and tasted like your family made it for you. Some standout items: the coleslaw is super finely chopped which gives it a really good texture, flavor is great. The potato salad was creamy and perfectly seasoned. The pork was so Smokey and tender. Their sauce is super great, would pour that on everything. The fried okra was so tasty, we ate every piece. They have so much cheese in the poppers, delicious. If you're passing through the East Ridge area of Chattanooga, I highly suggest checking out this awesome spot for great food at an even better price. Thanks for the great experience!

The food was good, but the major drawback is that a large plate only had four ribs, one of which you could barely call a rib. The second, drawback for me is that the ribs came with sauce already on them. That's like a major no-no in my book. I know, everybody has their preference, but I prefer to sauce my own food if I feel that it's necessary. To be honest, barbecue should stand on its own without sauce and sauce should only be there to enhance the flavor. The meat was tender, but I couldn't really get a feel for the flavor of the meat because the sauce interfered with that. The pulled pork plate was good. Also, my girlfriend said she enjoyed that. But again, sauce should come on the side in my opinion. I have no real complaint against this place, but I wish I had known ahead of time that the ribs came with sauce on them and I wish that I had known that there were only four ribs on the plate, I would've ordered a whole rack. Prices are good, the place is clean, and as I said, the owners are very welcoming and warm people. Give this place a go, it's worth a trip! But just ask questions before you order!

We stayed in Chattanooga 5 days and we were here 4/5 days. Only because we didn't find out about it until the day after we got there.

My friend and I came here, got seated quickly, and ordered right away. We both got horchata and three pupusas. I picked a Chicken, Chicken and Cheese, and Bean and Cheese pupusas. When I first ordered it I wasn't sure how large the pupusas would be and if it would be enough. But after seeing it and eating, the portion size was perfect. Every bite was delicious. The filling inside was delicious and had a generous amount. But don't even get me started on the sides. The curtido (pickled veggies/vinegar slaw) was incredible. When they dropped off our food, they also gave us a full container of curtido. After we were done with our food, our container was finished as well. There was only juice left inside and if I wasn't full, I would've drank that thing. It had the perfect tang, not too vinegar-y or too acidic, and the vegetables were so crunchy and fresh. And the salsa too! Flavorful, had a nice kick, perfect spice level. I've heard good things about this place for years and after coming here, it's not hard to see why. I look forward to coming back here again.

    Chaos Mongolian Grill -- Where You're the Chef of Your Own Feast…read more If you love food that's as unique as you are, Chaos Mongolian Grill in Chattanooga is your playground. Here, you don't just order a meal -- you build it. Start by picking your protein from a lineup that covers all the cravings: tender chicken, juicy steak, fresh fish, plump shrimp, and more. Next, hit the seasoning station like a pro -- dried chopped onions, garlic powder, garlic salt, and plenty of other flavor-boosters are ready to make your creation sing. Then, pile on crisp veggies, crack in some eggs, and drench it all in your choice of sauces. For the base, I'm a noodle loyalist (they soak up every drop of flavor), but rice, cabbage, and other options are on deck. Once your masterpiece is stacked sky-high, the cooks work their magic on the sizzling grill and bring it to your table hot and fresh. It's not all-you-can-eat, but the "stack it as high as you can" rule means you'll still leave full and happy. The staff is warm and welcoming, and the grill team keeps things moving so you're not staring at your empty plate for long. Yes, the building shows its age, but honestly, the flavors are so bold and the experience so fun, you'll barely notice. If you're ready to unleash your inner chef and eat exactly what you're craving, this spot delivers big.

Firstly because I'm a big fan of barbecue, but secondly, I'm also a big fan of restaurants that have survived the test of time and this place has been around for a looong time. Don't get me wrong they hit a lot of the high notes when it comes to barbecue. The flavors are all there and the quality is all there too. There were two sauces on our table and original and a hot and both were good. What I didn't like is the fact that the barbecue came to the table, looking like it had been chopped beyond belief. Now don't get me wrong, chopped barbecue can be good, and I understand that for some people that's their thing. But for me, I'm a big believer that good barbecue should stand on its own and doesn't need to be pulverized into mince. The sides are top notch, though the cabin thematic atmosphere is also very old school and I like that. Our waitress was excellent and constantly checking on us. We got there at a time when it looks like business was winding down for the day and the inside of the restaurant was not very busy, but the drive-through was very busy. Overall, I was satisfied with what we got in the price we paid. And like I said, the flavors were really good. Let me put it this way, I'd much rather come here than the Hooters (Yuk) next-door! To put a win in their favor, their bbq stuffed baked potatoes are literally two meals on a plate for most people and my fiancée really liked hers. If she's happy, I'm especially happy.
