The interior is still decorated mostly as a Long John Silver's but it works. There are additional photos, etc. typical of Jamaica added. You order at the rear along the counter and they assemble the plate for you right away. The menu is available at the counter, and the workers are very helpful in describing the options and making suggestions. The food is placed in to-go containers even if you are dining in. We ordered the chicken and bacon pasta, jerk chicken, curried chicken, and curried goat. Sides were plantains, sauteed cabbage, and Spanish rice. The plantains were outstanding. They were cooked perfectly, with a gentle sweentess without being mushy. The sauteed cabbage was also excellent. It had a nice sourness to it that complimented the proteins very well. The Spanish rice was also good, with slightly different seasoning than Mexican rice. The jerk chicken was exceptional. The sauce was spicy without being overwhelming and the flavor exploded in the mouth. The curried chicken and goat were also very good. The curry had the slightest spiciness and a lot of flavor. One caution about the goat is be aware there may be shards of bone included. It appears they use a cleaver to cut the meat and this results in some sharp bone pieces. It's not a problem as long as you are aware. The chicken and bacon pasta was surprisingly good. It is much more than just a pasta dish with outstanding flavor and plenty of added proteins. All proteins were cooked to perfection and everything was so very good. Fi Mi Pot is a great addition to the Ft. O restaurant scene and absolutely deserves many visits.

We ordered the sample platter, which lets you choose five different dishes. We tried the shrimp gumbo, étouffée, and red beans and rice--and somehow, the chef surprised us by bringing out six dishes instead of five! Talk about going above and beyond! Several members of our family normally aren't fans of New Orleans-style food, so we honestly weren't sure what everyone would think. Well... every single person loved it! The food was so good that the bowls were literally licked clean. Everything was packed with flavor, perfectly prepared, and clearly made with a lot of love. Then came the surprise dessert: fried blueberry bread pudding bites with a bourbon caramel glaze. WOW! The plate didn't stand a chance--we cleaned that one too! And whatever you do, DO NOT leave without trying the beignets! They were absolutely amazing and the perfect way to finish the meal. What really made the experience special, though, was the hospitality. The chef and staff made our family feel so welcome, and the generosity and care they showed us made this more than just a great meal--it was an experience we won't forget. If you are visiting Chattanooga, Tennessee, put Blue Orleans at the top of your list. You will not regret it! If we lived in Chattanooga, our family would absolutely be here once a week! Amazing food. Amazing people. Amazing experience. 10/10!

When I was in town at lunch time I was happy to see it was back open and serving dine in blue plate specials once again. This place used to be like a mom and pop meat and three lunch spot with really good food. Now they have a dedicated blue plate menu that doesn't change day to day like it used too. Now lunch is on a steam table for hot food and refrigeration cases for cold items that you serve yourself from which I'm ok with. Then once you have made your plate you take it up front to be weighed and are charged accordingly. Now I'll say I'm a fan of this unique concept. I didn't have to choose between hamburger steak and chicken tenders, I was able to have a little of both, with okra, mashed potatoes and Lima beans for $14 dollars. Certainly not bad. All in all as you can see from the picture the food to price ratio is a big selling point on this concept and probably a big factor in sustainability of clientele. Sadly the food quality has suffered a tad from the great place it once was but it's still a pretty solid meal spot, good but not great.

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.

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!
