    Chicken & ox tails

    The food was delicious and the service was fantastic. The owners are very welcoming and the portion sizes were very generous! The curry chicken and ox tail were fantastic! We will be back!

    Beef pattt

    Great local spot. Stopped in while in town because I was craving something authentic & this is the place to get it from. Real food from real people. Amazing flavors from this restaurant!

    Oxtail with cabbage and rice ( and beans?)

    I had seen the sign along Dayton Blvd. in Red Bank and curious as I've never had Jamaican cuisine, so I decided to stop in. I got t an option of three mains and four sides (I believe). I chose the oxtail with cabbage and rice (and beans?). Even though I ordered for dine in, I received my order in a to-go container. The oxtail was tender and tasty - lots of little bones, so beware. The star on my plate was the cabbage!! So flavorful and tender. The rice was quite dry - needed more gravy. The overall meal was good, although a tad pricey; however I would go back to try other dishes.

    I went for the first time. There is plenty of parking. There is a dine-in area. The food is out, cafeteria style. I was a little disappointed. There was no jerk chicken at 5pm. I got chicken patties that appear to be fried. They were not good and were not at all flaky and more like doughy. Didn't eat them. I didn't check before I got home so I will take the loss. Not sure if I will return. I know they are getting started so may try one more time. Glad I'm headed to NYC for authentic homemade patties soon. Hope that they bake them in the future and not fry them.

    Curry Goat

    I wanted to treat my boyfriend to his favorite food. He is original from Jamaica and has been missing the authentic taste of Jamaica. He really enjoyed his food, he told his family about it multiple times! I found this place online and decided to give it a try. I'm very happy we did, we will definitely be back here!

    Awesome spot in Redbank, the owners are super sweet and you can tell take great pride in their food. I got the jerk chicken wings with rice as well as some mac and cheese. When it was being made for me they said I had to get some ox tail gravy on top as it is the only way to eat it. Boy were they right, it was so flavorful and delicious I was almost licking the plate. Highly recommend checking the place out for a quick lunch or dinner.

I had a couple of beers, paid my bill, I went back to my hotel to get some work done, then came back for dinner. Monday night's special is any po'boy and they throw in a cold beer for free! I can't pass that up... I got the roast beef drippings po'boy with horseradish mayo and a side cup of pimento cheese grits; everything was excellent, but the sandwich was really messy. Still tasted really good, though. Three beers, a great sammich (although I'll probably get the oyster or catfish option next time), and a side of creamy grits for $40 total between two visits (that includes tips). I will definitely be back to this place next time I'm in Chattanooga. It looks like there are great specials each night Monday through Friday; I just happened to be here on Monday. Service was very prompt and able to offer some insight on the po'boys, which was helpful. *NOTE* the walk is through apartments and townhouses so pretty safe but no sidewalk for part of it.

    The food is a hit and miss this time. I visited again during their happy hour time and realized…read morethis time while checking the receipt they don't truly discount the 25% off their apps for happy hour. It might be maybe 20%-23% but not 25%. They should just say on their menu they round down but it's not the case, I'd check your receipts the next time you go just Incase based off the principal. Small percent but honestly feels mischievous.

    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!

    From the menu (which includes crab legs by the pound), we were expecting the building to look like…read morea traditional seafood restaurant, but, as you drive by, the place looks like it used to be a burger joint. We drove to the parking lot. It was Thursday at around 7:30 pm, and there was no one sitting inside. We considered whether to pass based on the "fast food" appearance of the place, but, because my spouse wanted crab boil, we went inside. Great decision! Ordered at a counter. I had the fried tilapia platter, which came with fries, Cole slaw and a drink. My spouse had the 1/2 pound crab leg boil, with corn and potatoes. For the boil, my spouse got to select her spicing (garlic, old bay and a few other choices, including combination of all the spices), as well as level of spiciness (hot, medium, mild, etc). We got our drinks and sat for just a few minutes. Then the staff brought out a tray with three large and nicely breaded pieces of tilapia, a large portion of fries and a small, but very tasty portion of slaw. The tray included ketchup packets, packets of tarter sauce, hot sauce and mustard. The tilapia was delicious and I marveled at the size of the pieces, the moistness of the fish and the very nice seasoning of the breading. I was very pleased with my meal. My spouse's crab boil arrived about two minutes after mine, in a plastic bag. When she opened the bag, a beautiful and nicely seasoned portion of crab legs was revealed. My spouse thoroughly enjoyed the crab, as well as the corn and potato. It was an excellent meal. The server was friendly and s few other customers came in and we admired each other's food. We were just passing through Chattanooga, and I'm disappointed that I won't have an opportunity to go back. We definitely would have put this restaurant on our rotation for seafood. The appearance of the restaurant from the outside was a bit off-putting as being fast food, but the inside seating area was well lit, clean and comfortable. And the food was very very good. Prices also good for a decent seafood meal.

My only small complaint is I wish the crab legs weren't so skinny but I will definitely be eating here again and again. *EDIT* I came back a month later and to my surprise the food was even BETTER than it was last month! The crab legs were THICK and nowhere skinny and seasoned VERY well! I don't remember them allowing me to choose the seasoning last time so I think thats new. I really am making this my goto crab place hoping they keep this up.
