    Gondolier pizza is a pizza and Italian establishment located in Chattanooga Tennessee. My family and I was stopped on a road trip and staying nearby at element hotel when we were in need of a late night dinner. So pizza was a safe call. We like to eat local when traveling and this place was nearby so we called in a pickup order since it was close to closing time. We ordered a large cheese pizza, Spaghetti with Meat Sauce, and my oldest got a Gyro on a Pita. The establishment was located in a very empty almost abandoned looking shopping center. We walked in there was one worker who greeted us. Outside of that the place was empty and ready for closing. Decor was traditional Italian themed and had some dining in options. Service wise was ok. The worker was friendly and the food took about 5-10 min longer than quoted. Taste wise the pizza was very average. Almost akin to oven pizza from a department store. My wife said her spaghetti was also bland and just ok. My daughter did enjoy her pita though. So she was satisfied more than the rest of us. Overall it did the trick. A quick supper and a new pizza place under our belt to try. I can imagine this isn't the best pizza Chattanooga has to offer so maybe one day in future I can try a better variety.

    Small cheese pizza with extra cheese

    First timer at gondolier pizza. The pizza was yummy. I especially liked the extra crispy crust. Buy one get one cheese pizza is a win. I called in an order and the young man was very helpful and nice. Food was hot and ready when I picked it up 20 min later. I will definitely order from here again

    Lemon pepper wings ($8.75) looked great but were very disappointing. Strangely bland (hard to believe)

    Don't kill me, but this food is just okay (even for Chattanooga standards). I've only been here once and I got two small pizzas: one with extra cheese and one with mushrooms. I also got an order of lemon pepper wings. The pizza and, more surprisingly, the wings were bland to me. As I was eating the wings, I was honestly trying to understand what was happening because I saw there was seasoning on the chicken. My guess is they fry plain wings with no seasoning and then sprinkle the lemon pepper on top, and a lot of that just falls off the chicken. I was disappointed cos when I found out they made LP wings, I was very excited as that's my favorite flavor of wing. I've had much much better. The pizza crust was nice; it's a soft dough. The amount of mushrooms on my pizza was despicable. Both pizzas were also bland. And before anyone says the toppings give flavor, I've had many slices of cheese pizza that were delicious. If the sauce and cheese aren't bomb, it's likely the pizza will be mediocre no matter how many toppings you put on it. Honestly, the only thing that saved my experience was the buy 1 get 1 deal and the amount of wings included in an order (at least I could doctor then up at home). I've heard so much about this place and the reviews are good, but I was really disappointed in the food. I'm still searching for a pizza place around here that really knocks my socks off. I may try Gondoliers one more time; maybe they had an off day. My expectations are forever altered, though.

    Pepperoni pizza

    i came in to get my pick-up order & they gave me the wrong one at first. luckily i checked before i left. then i asked for some parmesan & red pepper packets, they gave me 3, then i asked for some extra, i received 3 more for 2 medium pizzas. the ownership has changed from what i hear, and you can really tell. the prices, along with the quality is changing, and not for the better. i've been going here over 20 years, and never had a problem until now.

    Meatball Sub Sandwich

    This restaurant used to be good, but tonight we got take out from here and it was disgusting. I got a meatball sub. The meatballs are supposed to be homemade, but what I got was a roll with meat sauce, peppers and no meatballs. When I called to complain, I got somebody on the phone that said, "What do you want me to do about it, I just work here. The managers aren't here." I paid 15 bucks for a meatball sandwich plate that had no meatballs, and got nothing but hostility when I called to complain. Completely unacceptable.

    Food looks great, however for $75 on Grubhub, I think the pizzas are smaller than expected.
    Christopher J.

    Good food and quality but don't order in grub hub. Too pricey. If I had to have them again would rather go to restaurant.

I was honestly pretty nervous about eating alone, but from the moment I walked in, the environment felt so comfortable and welcoming that it eased my anxiety quite a bit. The staff was incredibly friendly, especially my waitress, Sarah. She was so kind and made me feel completely comfortable, which meant a lot to me as someone eating alone for the first time. She truly made the whole experience that much better! And the food... WOW. Every bite was packed with flavor, and I absolutely chowed down The fries were perfect, and I loved the Cajun seasoning on them. The smash burger was delicious and cooked perfectly -- although it was definitely a little messy, so consider yourself warned haha. The mozzarella sticks had an AMAZING cheese pull, and the sauce was absolutely divine. And then there was dessert. Let's just say it was probably meant to feed two people... but I ate the entire thing by myself because it was THAT good. Overall, I couldn't have picked a better restaurant for my first night and my first solo dining experience. Great food, wonderful staff, and such a comfortable atmosphere. I'll definitely be back!

You walk in and you choose your table and a nice waitress will bring your menus. We like the chicken strip basket which comes with two sides. Of our favorites are the fries, the collard greens, green beans, and mac and cheese. The chicken strips are very crispy, the meat is just a little dry but the flavor is great with even the mild level heat having nice heat. We also got the catfish which has a perfect crust and perfectly cooked inside. The baskets come with sauce and you get two per order. Probably more than you'll need. You get great food for an affordable price. Good Southern service. Just all around one of our faves.

    3.75/5 -- The Flaming Rooster | Chattanooga, TN…read more I stopped by The Flaming Rooster while in Chattanooga, and overall, I'd give the experience a 3.75 out of 5. There were definitely some highlights especially the catfish and the service. The ambience has a real throwback feel. It isn't fancy or modern, but that's part of its character. It reminded me of an old-school neighborhood Southern restaurant, and I actually appreciated the nostalgia. Between the decor, the food, and a cup of Kool-Aid, there were moments that genuinely took me back. The service was one of the strongest parts of the experience. Janet was a 10/10--friendly, attentive, and provided excellent service throughout our visit. The kitchen staff was also very efficient, and our food came out hot and fresh. Missy, who rang us up, was hilarious and brought even more personality to the experience. The staff definitely made us feel welcome. Now, the food: Fried Catfish -- 10/10. Hands down the star of the meal. The catfish was fried perfectly, crispy on the outside, tender inside, and seasoned extremely well. This is what I would come back for. If you're visiting for the first time, I recommend starting with the catfish. Fried Chicken -- 7/10. Good, straightforward fried chicken. It was crispy and enjoyable, but nothing that completely separated it from other good fried chicken I've had. Still, I would order it again. Macaroni & Cheese -- 5/10. Not bad, just average for me. It worked as a side, but it didn't stand out compared with the catfish. The potato salad reminded me of Sam's Club potato salad, which actually isn't a bad thing because I like Sam's Club potato salad. It had that familiar, simple flavor. And the Kool-Aid mix deserves a mention. That took me straight back to childhood. Something about Kool-Aid alongside fried catfish and chicken just fit the throwback atmosphere perfectly. Overall, 3.75/5. The sides could be stronger, but the catfish was excellent, the service was outstanding, and the nostalgic atmosphere gave the restaurant its own personality. Janet and Missy helped make the visit memorable as well. If I find myself back in Chattanooga, I'd definitely stop by again. I also recommend giving The Flaming Rooster a try if you're in the area. And seriously-get the catfish. 10/10.

Casual, colorful, the kind of spot where you expect someone to walk in wearing flip flops and carrying a fishing pole. Comfortable vibe. Easy place to settle in and see what the fryer can do. First up were the fried green tomatoes. They came out looking like they'd just won a beauty pageant. Crispy outside, tender inside, cooked exactly right. Texture nailed. But flavor-wise they felt like they forgot their gym bag at home. Needed salt. Needed a little personality. A rare moment where the fryer did its job but the seasoning clocked out early. Then the headliner arrived. The fried chicken at Champy's Famous Fried Chicken has a reputation to protect, and thankfully it shows up ready to work. Crisp, flavorful crust. Juicy inside. The kind of chicken that crunches just enough to make everyone at the table look over and get jealous. "If the deep fryer had a Hall of Fame, Champy's chicken is getting a first-ballot vote." And then came the move that sealed the deal. A dip into Champy sauce. Suddenly the flavor level jumped another notch. Salty, tangy, just enough punch to make the crust shine even more. The sleeper hit though? The cole slaw. Creamy, balanced, and actually refreshing next to all the fried goodness. It's the quiet kid in class who ends up acing the exam. Easy to overlook, but absolutely worth ordering. Now for the tiny curveball. I happened to land there on karaoke night. And let's just say... the speakers believed they were performing at an arena concert. Loud enough that conversation required leaning halfway across the table and reading lips. On the flip side, the crowd was clearly having a blast. A few genuinely good singers, a few that were more... enthusiastic than talented, and plenty of people cheering them on. Honestly, respect to anyone with the courage to grab a microphone in a room full of strangers. So no star deductions for that. The people who showed up to sing were having the time of their lives. Bottom line, Champy's Famous Fried Chicken is a fun place with seriously good fried chicken. Order the bird, grab the slaw, lean into the fried side of the menu, and enjoy the show if karaoke happens to be on the schedule. Just maybe bring your singing voice... or your earplugs.

Highlight of the drive. For the first time, today was different. The very friendly young women who first greeted us and guided us through the menu years ago are gone. In their place are unfriendly young ladies who would far prefer to chat with each other than provide even acceptable-level service. We were tolerated, not welcomed or even checked on to see if we wanted anything. I waited and waited for her to notice me at about ten feet away as I waved my empty beer can in hopes of getting a second one. Finally I had to interrupt the conversation between the waitresses by raising my voice above their conversation, "excuse me, may I have another?" Again, we were there early today. Just before 5:00 PM. That is how timing works when you are on the road. So the place was nearly empty. They weren't busy with customers. They were busy chatting amongst themselves. As we completed our fried chicken (still very good), she came by and did not ask if we wanted anything else but simply said "ready for the check?" It was a way to make us feel like we needed to leave. To add insult to injury, we passed by the hostess table outside on our way to the car as we left and we happened to pass between two Champy's young female employees chatting at the hostess station and blocking the way out. We had to say "excuse me" and walk between then as they kept talking to each other. Never did they bother to say "thanks for coming, please come back soon." So maybe after all this time...we won't.
