Our first experience with Local Goat was in Sevierville, TN while visiting Gatlinburg. I had no…read moreidea they had a second location and when we stumbled across the Ooltewah location, we had to try it, since we enjoyed the one in East TN so much. We were not disappointed. My wife and I tend to share an appetizer and a main most times when we dine out. We started out with the stuffed piquillo peppers and they did not disappoint! If you are a fan of goat cheese you will love these too. The sweetness of the pepper with the tang of balsamic coupled with the smooth taste of the goat cheese is almost to die for! We then shared the Pimento burger with fries and those too were outstanding! The burger is not overwhelmingly big, but big enough for two to share. The fries were absolutely delish! The service was good as well. I don't remember anything over-the-top outstanding but these days, decent service might actually qualify as over-the-top relative to what you see at most establishments! (so sad) Definitely worth a try if you are in the Chattanooga area.

Now, the place had more noise than a family reunion after someone mentions politics--two teenage softball teams carrying on, laughing, living large. Hard to fault that. Better than silence so thick you can hear your own regrets. Food showed up quick, which is about all you can ask when you're hungry enough to consider eating the menu. And it was good--honest good. Not "tell your mama about it" good, but solid, dependable, "yep, I'd order that again" good. Prices didn't make you feel like you'd just financed somebody's boat, either. Beer was cold--like it ought to be, like it better be--and the waitress understood to be there exactly when we needed her and vanishing when we didn't. That's an art form. Now the atmosphere... well, it had all the charm of a place that once had big decorating plans and then decided, "Eh, this'll do." A little on the bare side. Felt like a Friday night that never quite got dressed up. But I'll tell you this--I'd go back. And that, right there, is about the highest praise you can give a place without writing a love letter to the chef.

Every one of the sides looks so good and fresh that I wanted to get each one of them just to try it! The fish was cooked perfectly and was nice and tender. The added little muffin I didn't expect was a nice touch and delicious. The collard greens were SO GOOD. I'd get them again. So flavorful and cooked well. The beets were fresh and the goat cheese carried so much flavor. For the desserts, we got the carrot cake with pecans and chocolate cheesecake. Both were soooo good. I would get both of them again, especially the carrot cake which was so warm and moist. And the candied pecans were such a nice complement to the cake - not too sweet at all. The ambience is super nice and fresh, and our server was so sweet and engaging. The hostess as well. Everybody there was so nice and welcoming. They validate parking if you park in the garage nearby!

The food here is fantastic. I highly recommend the trout with the pecan butter--it is one of the…read morebest dishes I've had. The service is excellent; we are regulars and it's top tier every time. The ambiance, especially the bar area is beautiful and can feel somewhere between an elevated casual to mid-high end experience. Some things I'd like to see happen here: (1) a more true and robust brunch menu and please get an espresso machine, (2) brunch could use some live music and/or a dj (like a toned-down Stateside Kitchen vibe or a jazz trio--something--anything). The food is so good here, there is no reason this place shouldn't be absolutely packed on a Sunday.

This is a very quaint little restaurant built in an old banking site. The ambience is very interesting. There was live music throughout our lunch, which made it even more interesting because we are a musical family! Our server was very friendly and took our order almost immediately. The wifey ordered the Reuben Sandwich and she loved it. I was in the mood for a good old American cheeseburger, and I was not disappointed at all.. Dust went with the chicken salad and by the looks of it, he demolished it! Elle had the chicken with the pasta and she enjoyed it too! Sam had the Kiddy's Chicken Finger meal. I don't know. We had a really good afternoon and yes, we will definitely be back when in the area. FELLOW YELPERS I WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE SO DO GIVE IT A TRY!

We made reservations since we heard it gets pretty busy, and got seated right away. The place was nice and roomy, however, the tables were a bit small for our group of 4 after ordering drinks and apps. For apps we had the Whipped Feta and truffle Fries. The whipped Feta was amazing!! I ordered the Burger, my wife ordered the Pan Roasted snapper, and our friends ordered the Chicken Piccata and Lasagna (which I almost ordered). Everything was delicious!! My only complaint; My friend and I both ordered a beer with a cold glass, however, the server said they don't have cold glasses, and brought us a small warm glass that had probably just been washed (hot), so we just drank it straight from the bottle and can... besides that we had a great experience and will most likely be back for more.

I was staying at Hotel Clemons and it was an easy walk from the hotel. We started with the pork belly appetizer, had the salmon for dinner, and ordered a couple of cocktails. Everything was excellent. The service was just as good as the food. Kate took great care of us and made the experience feel warm and welcoming from start to finish. The vibe is what I loved most. It feels elevated without being pretentious. Think fine dining quality food with a relaxed atmosphere where you can actually enjoy yourself and have a conversation. If you're visiting Chattanooga and looking for a nice dinner spot, I'd definitely recommend adding this to your list. Next time I'm in town, I'll be back to try more of the menu.

They have a nice large bar and also outdoor seating. Burnt brussel sprouts (starter) - delicious. Butter wedge salad - must get. Steak frites - ordered medium rare came out more rare but it was. Fries could have been better and was super salty. Sauteed mushroom (add on for steak frites - not worth it at all. Most of the mushrooms were button mushrooms. Overall, it was a nice experience but I would have to say that both times it took a while for someone to actually take my order at the bar. Maybe things are just a bit slower in TN than NY. I would still recommend and would go back.
